Great Performers Series Lineup Announced
The Performing Arts Center at Rockwell at Buffalo State College just announced their 2008-2009 Great Performers Series. The series, presented by M&T Bank and WBFO, brings world-class artists to the college. This year the series brings everything from Louisiana blues to a flamenco guitarist, Celtic Christmas carols to bluegrass.
Rockwell hall only has a capacity of 856. This intimate setting provides a great way to listen to these talented artists, but unfortunately, it means that not everyone who wants to go gets to go. The tickets for all of the performers in the series go on sale August 25 at 9 AM. Tickets for every show range between $30 and $37 – making it a very affordable outing the whole family can enjoy together.
If the price is a little out of your range, there are ways to make the tickets more affordable. With the Flex Pack, you can purchase three or more tickets to different shows for as low as $27. To get tickets, head over to the Rockwell Hall Box Office at 1300 Elmwood, Monday through Friday, from 9 AM until 5 PM. You can also call 878-3005 or go online to their website.
