Opening Night- School of Rock! Youth Musical
2017-02-17 | Theatre Arlington, 305 W. Main St. , Arlington, TX, 76010, United States
This BRAND NEW musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. Completely disinterested in academic work, Dewey decides to create his own curriculum, turning his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. This stage musical featuring all the original songs from the movie plus 14 new songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber is a loving testimony to the transforming power of music. May the spirit of rock be with you!

Symphony Goes Wild – Ivan Donchev, Piano
2016-11-17 | Symphony Arlington, 224 N Center St , Arlington , TX, 76011, United States
Composers have always used imagination inspired from nature, so it is no surprise that many have picked up their pens (or their quills!) to give us musical depictions of the fascinating creatures with whom we share the planet. Throughout the 2016‐17 Season, Symphony Goes Wild, the talented musicians of Symphony Arlington will offer the most delightful and entertaining of these philharmonic fauna, from the smallest Mussorgsky’s Song of the Flea, to the largest Hovhaness’ And God Created Great Whales. Our musical zoo will include horses (Copland), lions (Rorem), elephants (Mancini, of course!), bears (Haydn and Bartok), Vaughan Williams (wasps), and Respighi (snakes!). Plus, familiar favorites like the murmuring insects and serenading birds of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, along with the charms of Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals.
Born in Bulgaria in 1981, Ivan Donchev began his musical studies at the age of five. Three years later he gave his first public recital and won his first international competition. In 1993 – at the age of twelve – he made his concerto debut with Burgas Philharmonic Orchestra performing Haydn’s Piano Concerto in D. In 1997 he has been awarded by the city of Burgas with the honorable prize “Talent of the year”.
7:30pm – 10:00pm

Neal McCoy
2016-11-12 | Arlington Music Hall, 224 N Center St , Arlington, TX, 76011, United States
In a world where every single is the biggest hit, every song the best one ever, Neal McCoy has had his share of feel good radio records, a few meaningful ballads, the BMI Song of the Year with “Wink” and “The Shake” and a whole lot of fun. But he’s spent almost two decades chasing “that song.’
With “A-OK, the song that co-producer Blake Shelton found the Longview, Texan entertainer, McCoy’s quest may be over. With its bouncing beat, bright melody and yes, pure Andy Griffith whistle, the song about seeing the glass as half-full and the smile upside down in a frown, along with the Barry Dean/Luke Laird/Brett Eldridge mid-tempo, is the perfect distillation of McCoy’s always effervescent show.
