Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2011-12 Season at the Ferst

Center. This marks our 20th year o presenting

outstanding perormances on campus, and in

many ways the artistic line-up refects where

weve been and looks orward to where we aregoing next.

The season eatures a blend o popular

avorites and several artists I am pleased to

share with you or the rst time. Artists we

have cherished or years include Bill Cosby,

Earl Klugh, Pilobolus, David Benoit and Peter

White. Also on the bill is the next generation

o incredible perorming artists already making

big names or themselves: Brasil Guitar

Duo, Jade Simmons, Aszure Barton, Jake

Shimabukuro and Sophie Milman.

In the early part o my career I worked or

a summer perorming arts estival and enjoyed

it so much I want to share that experience with

you. So next April we will initiate a three-year

estival project which will ocus on a dierent

style o Americana music each spring. This rs t

year we celebrate bluegrass music throughperormances, educational opportunities and a

visual art exhibition.

I encourage you to enjoy ree programs

such as Dance Dialogues and Jazz Connect,

which create opportunities or deeper audience

interaction all year. Along with our ree concerts,

these programs are our git to the community

and are open to all.

Cheers,

George Thompson

Director
