JEFFERSONVILLE — Southern Indiana’s Vintage Fire Museum will be the next topic of the Carnegie Center for Art and History’s Lunch and Learn program.

On Tuesday, Jan. 19, from noon to 1 p.m. at the Carnegie Center for Art and History, 201 E. Spring St., New Albany, Curtis Peters and Vic Megenity will speak about the Vintage Fire Museum, located in Jeffersonville, according to a Carnegie news release.

Peters and Megenity are both members of the Board of Directors

of the museum. In addition to talking about the development of the Vintage Fire Museum and its mission, their presentation will focus on two prominent pieces of antique firefighting equipment in the museum’s collection that are part of New Albany’s firefighting history. The first is a hand-pumper from 1851 that was owned initially by New Albany. The second is the beautifully restored New Albany “Flood Fire Engine,” a 1921 American LaFrance pumper that was made famous by a photograph taken during the 1937 flood.

In 2009, a group formed called Friends of the New Albany Fire

Museum, Inc. with the purpose of creating a museum. In 2010, the Conway Collection was purchased to prevent its dispersal. The collection was augmented by acquiring other important examples of firefighting equipment. The collection was temporarily shown and stored at the vacant Coyle Chevrolet building in downtown New Albany. In 2012, the group adopted a new name, the Vintage Fire Museum, Inc., and the museum was moved to its present Spring Street location in Jeffersonville, thus insuring that this important and unique collection remained in Southern Indiana.

Madonna plays Louisville for first time Saturday LOUISVILLE — Legendary pop artists Madonna makes her first ever stop in Louisville on Saturday as part of her “Rebel Heart” tour.

The 64-stop world tour supporting the album of the same name began last year and concludes in 2016. Madonna, 57, has sold more than 300 albums worldwide.

Recent setlists show MaMADONNA donna playing 21 to 22 songs, with a mix of new material and classic hits.

The show at KFC YUM! Center downtown begins at 8 p.m. with doors at 7. Tickets range from $43 to $361 and are available at kfcyumcenter.com

All together a capella Acclaimed a cappella singing showmen VoicePlay bring their unique musical and theatrical production to the Ogle Center.

The Paul W. Ogle Cultural and Community Center, 4201 Grant Line Road on the campus of Indiana University Southeast, will present VoicePlay on Friday, Jan. 22, at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $29 in advance, $33 at the door, $10 for students at all times, and are available at the Ogle Center ticket office, by calling 812941-2525, or online at oglecenter.com.

First gaining national attention on season 4 of NBC’s “The Sing-Off,” VoicePlay quite literally began as a street corner barbershop act and has now evolved into an internationally acclaimed touring sensation. But VoicePlay is not your typical a cappella singing group. The cast — comprised of Earl Elkins Jr., Geoff Castellucci, Layne Stein, Eliezer “Eli” Jacobson and Tony Wakim — has taken the timeless sound of vocal music and turned it completely on its head.

Re-imagined as a full stage show, amazing, humorous, and vertigo-inducing harmonies pepper VoicePlay’s “music-without-music” sound as it ping-pongs between eras and styles, channeling the breadth of the musical landscape and lacing it with inventive on-stage theatrics.
