Savannah VOICE Festival Continues Festival Favorites For its 12th Season

The Savannah VOICE Festival will continue festival favorites by heading back to the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force and Asbury Memorial Church for “CONCERT: HOMECOMING” on Sunday, Aug. 10 and “CONCERT: BACK TO BROADWAY” on Friday, Aug. 16. Both events will start at 6:30 p.m. 

Guests can look forward to taking a trip down memory lane with songs of a bygone era. Justin Havard and Festival Artists are joined by a small ensemble with a big band feel, as they perform WWII-inspired music under the wings of the B-17 Flying Fortress “City of Savannah” at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. A meet and greet reception will follow the performance. Asbury Memorial, the “God on Broadway” church, is the perfect backdrop for a wonderful tribute to musical theatre. Guests can experience new and old music through this spectacular homage to NYC’s fabulous theatre district. Patrons can enjoy standard seating for $42 and premium seating for $65. 

“We are so excited to bring back these crowd-favorite concerts to the Lowcountry,” said Maria Zouves, Co-Founder and President of the Milnes VOICE programs. “We find it important to include multiple genres in the VOICE Festival lineup because we want to have a well-rounded series, but also because the community has let us know that they value opera as well as other classical-voice performances.”  

The Festival comes to an end with the “FESTIVAL FINALE: REUNION” at 45 Bistro on Sunday, Aug. 18 at 5 p.m. This finale will leave you wanting to “come back home” as we reunite artists and audiences in a fabulous garden party of food, drink and musical gems from SVF’s classic formula of opera, musical theatre and song. Tickets will be $150, which includes the concert and dinner reception.
