World renowned classical guitarist Milos takes the stage of MPAC on Thursday, March 5 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $29-$49.
Miloš grew up in Montenegro, during the time of unrest in the Balkans. It was not an obvious gateway to classical music but he has gone on to become the world's most celebrated classical guitarist, selling out major concert halls and topping music charts around the world. Miloš continues his dominant presence on the world's concert stage this season after two years of enforced absence due to an injury. His U.S. tour - 'The Voice of the Guitar' is an electric program showcasing the immense diversity of the guitar repertoire: from Bach to the Beatles, Villa Lobos to Paul Simon... and beyond. Miloš' fifth studio album - Sound of Silence - was released in September. This album is a deeply intimate and personal collection of music that accompanied him through a journey of recovery and (re)discovery. The repertoire on the album (and the tour) showcases a broad range of music including brand new arrangements of classical repertoire, affectionate nods to the pop world, and collaborations with friends.FINDING NEVERLAND, the musical that made us all believe in our imagination, will be making its way to Mayo Performing Arts Center for three performances on Friday and Saturday, March 6-7. Tickets are $59-$99.
Based on the Academy Award-winning Miramax motion picture by David Magee, and the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee, Finding Neverland follows the relationship between playwright J.M. Barrie and the family that inspired Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up - one of the most beloved stories of all time. Diane Paulus' Finding Neverland will have her direction recreated by Tour Director Mia Walker (who also directed the 2017 Pippin tour) and Associate Choreographer Camden Loeser. The musical has a book by Olivier AwardR-nominee James Graham, music and lyrics by Gary Barlow (Take That) and Grammy AwardR- winner Eliot Kennedy, and original choreography by Emmy AwardR-winner Mia Michaels ("So You Think You Can Dance," Cirque du Soleil's Delirium). Finding Neverland is packed with mesmerizing visuals, irresistible songs and plenty of laughs making it a timeless story about the power of imagination.Get in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day with the delightful music of The Celtic Angels at MPAC on Sunday, March 8 at 7 pm.

Through their shared zeal and passion for Ireland's musical traditions, this troupe enables their audiences to experience the real Ireland. Celebrating their cherished heritage through Irish dance, music, and song is something these entertainers take very seriously. You'll be enthralled from the moment the lights dim as the sweet and stirring songs of Ireland, rigorously precise dances, and traditional musicianship carry you to Ireland on wings of music. Some of the sweetest voices under heaven make up the Celtic Angels: Victoria Kenny, Emily Carroll, Tammy Browne, Amy Penston, and Ellie Mullane - Irish to the core and seasoned entertainers all. These ladies cut their teeth in such musicals as West Side Story, Grease, and in Jury's Irish Cabaret. The Celtic Knight Dancers, featuring two former lead dancers of Riverdance, perform with athletic precision in routines that leave audiences breathless. Their rhythm and artistry are astonishing. The Trinity Band Ensemble of Dublin round out the show with flawless interpretations of authentic Irish Trad instrumentals, and their backing of both singers and dancers is perfection.Videos
