The Highlands Performing Arts Center has unveiled a Concert Season filled to bursting with passionate music and outrageous comedy.

Beginning Sunday, June 14, it’s Broadway with Countertenor Terry Barber.  This rare countertenor uses extraordinary vocal range, versatility, and a Masters degree in historically informed performance, to entertain. A truly international artist, Barber has been a soloist for the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, and Moscow’s Svetlanov Hall, to name a few. Tony-nominee Grace Fields will accompany Terry on the piano and vocals. 

On Saturday, June 20, bluegrass favorites Seldom Scene return to Highlands PAC by demand.  Since forming nearly 50 years ago, The Seldom Scene has brought both freewheeling joy and immaculate musicianship to their take on bluegrass, offering up spirited interpretations of songs from limitless genres. 

If comedy is your tonic of choice, mark your calendar on Saturday, June 27, for Men are from Mars – Women are from Venus: Live. The Off-Broadway hit comedy is a one-man fusion of theater and stand-up, and is a light-hearted theatrical comedy. Moving swiftly through a series of vignettes, the show covers everything from dating and marriage to the bedroom. 

Neil Zirconia brings a treasured Tribute to Neil Diamond on Saturday, September 5. The remarkable talent of Neil Zirconia has expertly captured the essence and the passion of Neil Diamond, with all of the movements, expression, style and music that has made Diamond the greatest entertainer of our time. 

Be sure to reserve your seats for the Saturday, September 19 performance of Bravo Amici. Combining the essential elements of classical crossover – pop, Broadway, the West End and opera – this group of endlessly talented friends and stage stars melt hearts and blow minds in every theater where they perform. 

On Sunday, September 27, it’s Fleetwood Mask, the ultimate tribute to Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mask is endorsed by Fleetwood Mac founder Mick Fleetwood! 

The Friday after Thanksgiving, it’s  bluegrass with Sideline, a pedigreed six-piece powerhouse whose style has set the pace in Bluegrass for over two decades. In 2019, Sideline won the IBMA Song of The Year Award for Thunder Dan. To listen to Sideline reminds the fans of why so many people fell in love with bluegrass in the first place.
