BARBARY COAST DIXIELAND BAND

Wednesday, October 22, 2008


Not just another band, the music performed by the Barbary Coast Dixieland Band is sensational.  But there is more!  The band punctuates each concert with whim, wit and zany comedy.  Incredible vocals and a variety of special numbers are the seasoning to a well-blended performance.  Since 1967, the Barbary Coast Dixieland Band has set thousands of toes tapping at major night clubs, the Minnesota State Fair, Ordway Theatre, and over the airways of WCCO Radio. 
Barbary Coast has taken its jazz message far and wide- from Mississippi paddlewheel boats to Japan .

“SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS”
Tuesday, December 2, 2008



One of the most delightful
and enchanting shows ever, this spectacular New York-style Christmas presentation features gorgeous costumes, wonderful Christmas songs, and the highest kicking chorus girls this side of the North Pole.  It is a great show for all the family.  Spirit of Christmas was the headline attraction at the world-famous Kodak Theater in Los Angeles , home of the Oscars, last holiday season and played to rave reviews.

Warren Civic Music Association

This organization has the distinct honor of being the oldest community arts organization in Trumbull County. It was incorporated in 1937 as the Warren Concert Organization. After three years of "hard times", it reorganized in 1940 as Warren Civic Music Association. Judge Dewey McVicker was the first president and Robert Balson is the current president.

The Association's Board of Directors is composed of all volunteers, who guide the operation of the organization. The first officers serving with Judge McVicker were vice presidents: Mrs. Griswold Hulbert, Mr. W.B. Klee, Jr., Mr. Thorn Pendelton, Mrs. Ralph Kroehle, Mrs. Theodore Long, The Rev. Mr. Robert Fay, Att'y. Lewis Guarnieri, Miss Louise Finney, Mrs. David Paige, and Mr. Otto A. Lovett. Mrs. Thomas Gannan served as secretary and Mr. W. Howard Fram as treasurer. Dana School Of Music, originally located in Warren, left its influence on Warren Civic Music with a legacy of musically oriented volunteers and appreciative audiences.

The home of Warren Civic Music was Konold Auditorium located at Warren G. Harding High School. Since the 1955-1956 season Packard Music Hall has been our venue. During the past 66 years, the Association has always been proud to continue its long tradition of presenting high quality diversified programs ranging from symphonies, operas, dance troupes and Broadway musicals to individual artists such as Roberta Peters, John Browning, Roger Williams, Isaac Stern and Anna Marie Alberghetti. In addition to the above mentioned individuals, many renowned artists/groups such as Folklorica de Mexico, Canadian Brass, Ferrante and Teicher, Robert Page Singers, Phil Dirt and the Dozers, River City Brass Band, Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, and the Ohio State University Marching Band have provided entertainment for the audiences.

In May of each year a subscription drive is held for renewals and for new subscribers. Single admission tickets are also sold for each performance. Seating is not reserved, allowing the audience a choice for each performance.

Over the years, the Association has been proud to present diversified programs at a very reasonable price.
