Evanston's Best Deal for Christmas
7 professional concerts in Evanston, 3 bonus concerts in Kemmerer, and a weekend of Celtic music and culture equals the perfect Christmas gift for yourself or someone you want to impress (including your wife!). The 2012 Uinta County Concert Series super pass offers 5 months of entertainment and fun during winter months. "Don't expect long boring concerts here," said Concert Series Executive Director Carolee Bowen. "organizers have spent a lot of time and effort looking for performers that will entertain and inspire Evanston residents. We feel like we have found artists that are a good fit for our community."
Concerts included in the 2012 super series pass include: Jan. 14 BYU Living Legends (South American and Polynesian music and dance); Jan. 27 Handsome Little Devils in Squirm Burpee Circus (Vaudeville style drama and acrobats); Feb. 3 Richter/Uzur Duo (classical guitar and cello); Feb. 17 Lincoln Highway (Bluegrass/Folk); March 9 Mike Strickland (Jazz piano); March 23 Teada (folk musicians from Ireland); March 24 Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas (Scottish fiddler and cello); March 23-24 all-day admission to the Ceili at the Roundhouse Celtic Festival; April 27 NANDA (stage combat/comedy); May 12 Three Leg Torso (gypsy Jazz). Also included in the pass is 3 bonus concerts in Kemmerer: Jan. 20 Elysian (storyteller with live music); March 10 T Minus 5 (popular a capella); April 29 Neil Galanter (Classical pianist).
"All these concerts are included in the Concert Series super pass," Bowen said. "You will find some of these artists performing in large metropolitan areas if you want to travel out of town in winter, but you won't find this deal anywhere but Evanston." An Individual pass that includes all of these concerts is only $70, with a full family pass only $190 (no limit on number of family members, but all members must be immediate family). Tickets, along with a 16 page, full color brochure with detailed concert information are available around town including the Evanston Chamber of Commerce, Curves for Women, and Copy Cats & Jewl's Card and Gift.
