Circa 1960

AKRON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
F a n f a r e 2 0 1 0

G A L A – Saturday, May 15, 2010; Time: TBA
C O N C E R T - Saturday, May 15, 2010; 8:00 PM

Downtown Akron will be transformed into the hip, retro world of the early 1960s, popularized by the award-winning AMC television show Mad Men, when the Akron Symphony presents Fanfare 2010: Circa 1960 on Saturday, May 15, 2010.

The Symphony’s annual gala and concert will celebrate the style and music of the Mad Men era beginning with cocktails, dinner, and a selection of exciting, one-of-a-kind live and silent auction items at the newly-renovated Greystone Hall, aka the evening’s “Ultra Lounge 103.”

After dinner, the Akron Symphony Orchestra will join multi-talented actor, singer, composer, and entertainer Michael Andrew for a concert at the Akron Civic Theatre featuring the music of such 60s icons as Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, and many others. Local favorite Helen Welch will also perform with the ASO and Mr. Andrew.
