Darke County Center for the Arts
Coppock-Hole Trust
Sponsors The Texas Tenors
Darke County Center for the Arts thanks the Coppock-Hole Trust for
sponsoring the 2015-2016 “VOICES“ season and the upcoming sold out
special event The Texas Tenors, Saturday, April 16 concert and their
longstanding and generous support of the arts in Darke County. “DCCA is
grateful for the continued generosity of the Coppock-Hole Trust, which
provide opportunities for cultural enrichment in our community,” stated
Andrea Jordan, DCCA Executive Director. The Coppock-Hole Trust has been
a sponsor of DCCA programs for over 30 years as well as supporting the
preservation of the Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall as an important
cultural center.
The Coppock-Hole Trust is a Spotlight Sponsor for the critically
acclaimed The Texas Tenors sold out performance on Saturday, April 16,
at St. Clair Memorial Hall. From Alabama to Puccini, John Hagen,
Marcus Collins and JC Fisher treat audiences to a unique harmony of
country, classical, Broadway and contemporary music. They use
breathtaking vocals, humor and a touch of cowboy charm to create a
memorable and musically impressive show. With their Emmy Award winning
PBS special now airing across the country, and Billboard chart-topping
albums, it's easy to see why The Texas Tenors are quickly becoming
America's favorite new tenors.
In addition to the 8 pm concert, DCCA will present a free event prior
to the upcoming sold-out concert by The Texas Tenors at Henry St. Clair
Memorial Hall. John Hagen, Marcus Collins, and JC Fisher, will
speak about their music, their journey, and their major influences, as
well as take questions from the assembled crowd. Although this
discussion is free and open to the public, due to the expected popular
appeal of this program, tickets will be required for entry.
Since their debut five years ago on NBC's America's Got Talent, The
Texas Tenors have accumulated a large fan base as well as numerous
awards including three Emmys. According to Keith Rawlins, Artistic
Director for DCCA, the Tenors' concerts include a unique combination of
country, classical, Broadway, and contemporary music plus a touch of
humor and cowboy charm to create a memorable show. “We knew that this
would be a popular attraction, but were amazed at how quickly people
scooped up tickets for the show,” Rawlins stated. “The pre-show event
will enable a meaningful exchange between the artists and their
audience, providing an enriching experience that enhances understanding
and appreciation of this amazing trio,” Rawlins concluded.
Additional Sponsors for the concert by The Texas Tenors are Second
National Bank, and The Bistro Off Broadway. This presentation is
supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest
that is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional
contributions from the Ohio Arts Council, the Crane Group and General
Mills Foundation. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this
program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth,
educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA
also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens
Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation, Lydia E.
Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund, and DCCA memberships.
