Norton Center announces its reinvented 2011-2012 season
May 20, 2011
Steven A. Hoffman, director of Centre College’s Norton Center for the Arts was recently interviewed by Rich Copley to discuss the upcoming season and, more precisely the upcoming season's Club Weisiger series. "I’m thinking that when people see that they can see some of these stars in a 350-seat theater, they’ll say, ‘I’ve got to go.”
The Center is expecting a lot of various artists to take the stage this season including the: hip violin virtuoso Hahn-Bin, bluegrass stars Dailey and Vincent, a ballet version of Moulin Rouge from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, jazz star Stanley Jordan and his trio, and the Australian Chamber Orchestra featuring soprano Dawn Upshaw singing a brand-new work by Maria Schneider. As well, "Hoffman points out that 20 of the 21 acts playing the center’s 1,400-seat Newlin Hall and 350-seat Weisiger Theatre are Norton Center debuts."
The upcoming season should be filled with tons of excitement with their many debuts and diversification of acts. "The kind of audience that appreciates that variety is reflected in the Norton Center’s 2011-12 season, the first one programmed entirely by Hoffman, who came to Danville in July 2010."
