[email protected] MSU Riley Center Announces Fall/Winter Performing Arts Series MERIDIAN, MS – The MSU Riley Center’s 2018-2019 Fall/Winter Performing Arts Series will feature country, folk, soul, funk, rock, and pop music as well as children’s theater, Christmas songs, an imaginative staging of a classic horror/science fiction story and electrifying Latin dance. “We’re really excited about this upcoming series because it shows how committed we are to ‘entertain and enrich’ all of the people of Mississippi and West Alabama,” said Dennis Sankovich, executive director of the Riley Center. “That phrase comes from our mission statement, and we take it to heart. “Our Fall/Winter Series encompasses a truly broad range of the performing arts – including longtime stars and fresh young talents just starting to attract attention. We’ll present just about every musical genre there is, along with theater for both adults and children and a really amazing dance company. All of the performers are exceptional artists. And they all put on a great show. Experiencing them live and in person is going to be so much fun.” The series of 12 musical, theatrical and dance presentations begins with a concert on September 27, 2018, featuring three big names in country music. It ends on March 29, 2019, with performances by a collection of emerging young jazz artists. The MSU Riley Center’s elegantly restored Victorian theater, with its crystalline acoustics, provides the perfect setting.
