Judy Collins
February 23, 2012 7:30 pm
Reserved Seating $29, $39, $49
Judy Collins has thrilled audiences worldwide with her unique blend of interpretative folksongs and contemporary themes. Her impressive career has spanned more than 50 years. At 13, Judy Collins made her public debut performing Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos, but it was the music of such artists as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, as well as the traditional songs of the folk revival, that sparked Judy’s love of lyrics. She soon moved away from the classical piano and began her lifelong love with the guitar. Celebrate a very special evening of music with Judy Collins at the Avalon Theatre on Thursday, February 23th, 2012 at 7:30pm.
