Angelo Babbaro 
"The Voice of Sinatra" 
  Thursday, February 18, 2010 
The Thursday, February 18, 2010 concert will feature  Angelo Babbaro “The Voice of Sinatra.” Youngstown native, Angelo Babbaro, practically resurrects the voice of a young Frank Sinatra.  Babbaro is a student of Sinatra, not an impersonator. Every breath, every break, is purposeful and studied. He has the charm, the style and most important, the respect for Sinatra. Opening for Angelo is Jackie Popovec, who will be a senior at Canfield High School .  She is a talented vocalist you will be hearing a lot about, if you have not already.  Angelo is backed by the Carmen Mico Orchestra, a 16-piece professional Orchestra formed in 1979, and well-known in this area.

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 W. Balson is the current president.

The Association's Board of Directors is composed of all volunteers, who guide the operation of the organization. The current officers serving with Mr. Balson are Vice President Mrs. Jeannine K. Morris, Secretary Mrs. Roz Jackson, Treasurer Mrs. Karen J. McMorran, Assistant Treasurer Richard A. Polko, Artist Selection Chairperson Mr. Karl A. Morris and Subscription Director Mrs. Elizabeth J. Balson. 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.
