TIFTON — More than 50 years ago, superstar Liza Minnelli urged people to “Come to the Cabaret!” On Friday, local music fans and supporters of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s Fine Arts program will be able to do just that.
“A Night of Cabaret” will be held at ABAC’s Edwards Hall on Friday at 7:30 p.m. The enjoyable evening will feature ABAC students, faculty, and community musicians performing popular songs. Dessert refreshments, beer and wine will be provided, and 1920s dress is encouraged but not required.
“We think this is a great way for the community to enjoy some of the wonderful talent we have here at ABAC and, most of all, have a good time,” Jennifer Huang, the head of ABAC’s Department of Fine Arts, said. “We have several entertaining performers lined up and I know the audience will have a great time.”.
The ABAC Jazz Combo will be performing “K.D’s Blues” and will accompany many of the evening’s performers.
Also slated to perform are A’zaya Hill, Laura Wiley, Ashton Fulp, Symone Maddon, Turner Conger and the Katy Rowe Trio.
Tickets for the event are $60 and can be purchased at www.abac.edu/cabaret. Anyone who cannot attend but would like to support ABAC’s Fine Arts program can also donate at the website.
