Letter from the Chairman Welcome to the 56th season of the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival!
Every summer concert season is a delight to plan and we look forward to experiencing it with eight concerts to enjoy. At the end of the 2018 season, it seemed that there would be no way to bring back a truly outstanding concert series for 2019, but we again have a season that is building that excitement with hugely successful artistic talent coming to Orkney Springs this summer. The Board of Directors is exuberant about the wonderful opportunities our president, Dennis Lynch, has brought, featuring the best groups, diverse music and some very entertaining opportunities to the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival audiences. It is with great anticipation and enthusiasm that we welcome you, your friends and family members to the longest-running summertime concert series in Virginia. If you are a longtime, returning patron, you will fondly remember the classical music played by the symphonic orchestras. Returning this year, the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra will be bringing a musical experience, which is out of this world! Titled One Giant Leap — “The Planets” and Beyond, this concert is a tribute to the first moon landing in 1969. Another celebration, PSO Rocks! “Still Stardust, Still Golden - Woodstock at 50,” brings the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra, featuring the music of that historic celebration.
Once again, the challenge this year has been in planning another superb season with our artistic mission, the desires of the audience, and the budget in mind. There is no way for a performing arts organization to survive on ticket sales alone, especially one that is at the mercy of the weather. As our production costs continue to rise, so does the need for more donations to keep ticket prices from creeping upward. As one patron told me a couple of years ago, “Great night for a great price!” We want to keep it that way!
The continued presence of the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival is determined by YOU, our patrons, individual and corporate contributions, ticket sales and sponsorships. You can make a difference as an individual donor toward the continuing goal of great music each summer in Orkney Springs. The sound of great music still bounces off the mountains surrounding Orkney Springs. We are a place where music comes alive, a place to have fun in a unique setting and to enjoy the beauty of music under the moon and the stars.

The Drifters, The Platters and Cornell Gunter’s Coasters Shenandoah Valley Music Festival Presents
From R&B, to doo-wop, to rock n’ roll, The Drifters, The Platters and Cornell Gunter’s Coasters all have something unique to bring to every show.
From the Motown magic of the Drifters, the romance of the Platters and the comedy of Cornell Gunter’s Coasters, every concert is memorable, fun and nostalgic.
The Drifters’ golden era began in the 50s and continued through the 70s, producing many top hits like “Money Honey,” “Save the Last Dance for Me” and “Under the Boardwalk.” The Platters were one of the most successful vocal groups of the rock ‘n’ roll era, and their sound was a bridge between pre-rock and the upcoming rock ‘n’ roll genre. Their string of hits began in 1955 with “Only You,” and as they’re collection of adult ballads grew in popularity, they became international sensations, performing across the globe.
Cornell Gunter’s Coasters started out as The Coasters when two members of The Robins were willing to move from Los Angeles to New York to record with Atlantic Records. They traveled from coast to coast, thus The Coasters were born. Their marriage of comedy and R&B music led to hits like “Searchin’,” “Young Blood” and “Yakety Yak.
Today, these three soulful singing ensembles perform concerts together, creating a classic combination of their greatest hits. This show has songs to please every palate delivered just the way you remember them when you first heard them on the radio.

A Tribute to Audacity Friday, July 20, 8:00 p.m.
In 1961 when John F. Kennedy proposed that the United States would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade, many Americans deemed it impossible. America had problems here on Earth to worry about — while NASA was working to fulfill Kennedy’s vision, the country was involved in the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement just to name a few. But by 1969, hundreds of thousands of Americans had worked together to make history when Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin first walked on the moon. Any one of the millions of viewers at the time will tell you it truly was, “One giant leap for mankind,” as Neil Armstrong famously said. To commemorate the event, SVMF has more than just a symphonic concert planned. It’s a multimedia extravaganza!
As the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra performs Gustav Holst’s “The Planets,” a video showcasing breathtaking space footage, will be broadcast on the big screen. This isn’t just any video but actual NASA footage produced by the Goddard Space Flight Center near Washington, D.C. The FSO will also be performing the iconic music of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and John Williams’ “Star Wars Suite.” Accompanied by a 40-person choir, this concert is one of astronomical scope.
But that’s not all. The Shenandoah Astronomical Society will have telescopes set up for stargazing. Weather permitting, Jupiter and Saturn will be perfectly visible in the night sky with the possibility of seeing other planets like Venus, Uranus and Neptune. Imagine hearing Holst’s rendition of Jupiter or Saturn and then being able to gaze upon these astounding planets too!
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2019
Why is SVMF going to such lengths to celebrate the Apollo 11 moon landing? Because we want to get back to those “can-do” times of the 1960s that made the impossible possible. This concert will lead you to reminisce about the historical moon landing and anticipate a possible future landing on the planet Mars. We celebrate humanity’s greatest adventure and look toward “The Planets” and Beyond. The Shenandoah Valley Music Festival would like to thank NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center for use of the video, “The Planets.”

legendary artists as Elton John and Pink Floyd firmly established him among rock’s elite artists. After so many years of success and plenty of opportunities to retire, knowing they had made a lasting contribution to music, The Beach Boys still tour today, playing some of their greatest hits as well as many hidden gems.
The Beach Boys hardly need an introduction. They’ve been in the music business a long time and have greatly impacted the rock era with their classic California sound. They got their start as a garage band in 1961, and just two years later, released several top 10 singles, touching on themes of the beach, surfing and romance.
Since then, The Beach Boys have released a wave of hit singles in addition to 30 studio albums, eight live albums and 55 compilation albums — several of them going gold and platinum. Complex musical arrangements coupled with playful songwriting has produced countless memorable songs that are considered classics today. Some of their greatest hits include, “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “Surfin’ USA,” “Good Vibrations,” California Girls,” “Kokomo” and many more that are still as popular today as they were decades ago.
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2019
The band even pays tribute to former Beach Boys members Dennis Wilson, who died in 1983, and Carl Wilson, who died in 1998, by live-tracking to vocal and video recordings of each singing their lead songs. Audio and video for “Forever” for Dennis and “God Only Knows” for Carl make it feel as if both are on stage performing with the band. “It’s completely inclusive,” said Mike Love in a recent interview. “It shows everybody that’s been a part of our journey.”
Original band members Mike Love and Bruce Johnston currently helm The Beach Boys, which include fellow band members Jeffrey Foskett, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill, Keith Hubacher, Christian Love and Scott Totten. Together, they continue the legacy of one of the most iconic bands in rock history. Johnston, a Grammywinning songwriter, joined The Beach Boys in 1965, replacing Glenn Campbell, who filled in for Brian Wilson on vocals and bass, when he retired from touring. Highly regarded in his field, Johnston’s vocal work with such
And a journey it has been. The Beach Boys isn’t just a band that performs good music. From their conception as a garage band, their style is recognizable across generations of listeners. Their music has inspired and influenced many bands today and likely many more to come. Through thick and thin, and from decade to decade, The Beach Boys have been there to celebrate the pleasures of life — everything from chugging root beer to chasing romance.

The Piedmont Symphony Orchestra Glenn Quader, conductor Gary Smallwood, vocals; Kenny Hasty, lead guitar; Michelle Kern vocals; Jason Labrador, vocals; Glenn Quader, bass; Sammy Sosa drums; Michael Thompson keyboard; Tom Tucker, guitar, bass, back-up vocals
The Piedmont Symphony Orchestra and its rock band return to SVMF this summer season to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. The band will rock out to the songs performed at this three-day seminal event in music history by legendary artists like Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Sly and the Family Stone, The Who, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and many, many others.
Fifty years ago, the music festival was planned by four 20-something music entrepreneurs: John Roberts and Joel Rosenman, two New York businessmen building a recording studio in Manhattan; Artie Kornfeld, vice president of Capitol Records; and Michael Lang, organizer of the 1968 Miami Music Festival. The first artist that agreed to perform was Creedence Clearwater Revival. After their first venue backed out, Woodstock Ventures settled on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, N.Y., only a month before the concert.
his partners were essentially forced to let them in for free. Ultimately, half a million people attended the music festival. Performances like Joan Baez singing in the rain, Janis Joplin singing late Saturday night until 2 a.m. Sunday morning, and Jimi Hendrix closing out the festival to a dwindling crowd made Woodstock full of memorable moments.
The music performed at Woodstock reflected the time period when the country was engaged in the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. One of Woodstock’s overriding themes was to spread peace and unity through music. “Make love, not war,” was the mantra of the 60s counter-culture. Despite the vast number of people and the limited amount of security, Woodstock remained a peaceful event and a shining example of how great music can create unity in the most unexpected of ways.
Originally, only 50,000 people were expected to attend the concert. With so many attendees flooding the venue before the gates were set up, Lang and

hurt. The Oak Ridge Boys were responsible for making “Elvira” a No. 1 hit that went platinum in the United States. They are also well known for hits, such as “Bobby Sue” and “American Made,” which both topped the country music charts. “We always look for songs that have lasting value and that are uplifting,” says Allen. “You don’t hear us singing cheating or drinking songs, but loving songs because we think that will last.”
The Oak Ridge Boys have one of the most distinct and recognizable sounds in country music that has been perfected through the years. The original Oak Ridge Quartet dates back to the 1940s, where they got their start as a gospel choir. In the 1960s, the band changed their name to The Oak Ridge Boys, and in the 1970s, they transitioned to country music. The group’s lineup since 1973 has been lead singer Duane Allen, along with Joe Bonsall (tenor), William Lee Golden (baritone) and Richard Sterban (bass). The Oak Ridge Boys have truly stood the test of time and have been a cornerstone of country music for decades.
“When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2019
The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Allen.
Sterban adds: “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.”
Together, the quartet has released 31 studio albums and 63 singles—17 of which were number one singles. It’s refreshing to find a band that not only has contributed a lot to the music industry but gets the same enjoyment out of it that they did when they first began.
Perhaps it was the band’s bond that helped them last through the years, but their exceptional music certainly didn’t
They’ve performed for five different presidents, and they’ve sung with legends like Johnny Cash, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ray Charles and Merle Haggard. When the Oaks entered the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2000, the Grand Ole Opry in 2011 and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2015, they became legends themselves. Their most recent honor included singing “Amazing Grace” at President George H. W. Bush’s funeral. Even today, the band performs with the same intensity as they did when they were producing consistent country hits. “I feel like I can do what I do on stage just as good now as I could 20 years ago,” Bonsall says.
As long as the band has vigor and soul, they’ll continue to try new things and push themselves in ways they haven’t before. Knowing The Oak Ridge Boys, they are bound to love it every step of the way.

church and a night at the bar — an unlikely combo held together by clever songwriting. Other songs like “Remember This” take listeners a step deeper as it tackles the importance of family in a work-driven world. If anything, Home Free knows how to sing good songs. That’s a good thing too, considering they don’t use any instruments.
Special Guest Jeffrey East
Returning by popular demand for their second concert at SVMF is the all-vocal country sensation, Home Free, bringing with them their Nashville standards and their country-dipped pop hits.
Home Free got their start in Mankato, Minn., in 2000 and were suddenly thrust into the national spotlight after winning the fourth season of NBC’s “The SingOff” in 2013. After that very publicized win, the five-male ensemble became an overnight sensation with their showstopping a cappella performances.
When Home Free performed at SVMF last summer, they were riding off the success of their latest album release, “Timeless.” The album is chock full of
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2019
popular songs like Ed Sheeran’s “Castle on the Hill” and John Mayer’s “In the Blood” as well as original songs like “It Looks Good” and the album’s namesake, “Timeless.” Whether Home Free takes on a cover of a beloved song or composes something entirely original, their performances are always entertaining and fresh.
Now Home Free is rapidly approaching the release of their highly-anticipated album “Dive Bar Saints.” With some tracks already out on YouTube, the band has evidence to show that “Dive Bar Saints” will be yet another great Home Free album. The title track has lyrics that weave together references to Sunday
This year, Home Free isn’t alone. Jeffrey East, a country singer from Texas, based out of Nashville, has much to contribute to this concert in his opening performance. Determined to make it in the music business, East and his family moved to Nashville in 2006. After losing his father to cancer, East started to dip into songwriting. He’s written songs for big-name artists like Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts and many more. In 2017, East released his first single on Spotify, “Still Crazy,” and later released his second single, “Time is Cold.” Like Home Free, East offers a new take on modern country music, keeping his fans up-to-date on social media and making his music available on Spotify and YouTube.

top 10 hits as well as four gold- and two platinum-selling albums. In 2008, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album “Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins.” In recent years, Collins has recorded several albums, including “Strangers Again,” released in 2015. She invited a cast of icons and young talents to sing with her on this fresh collection, including Willie Nelson, Jackson Browne, Jeff Bridges, Glen Hansard, Ari Hest and Bhi Bhiman.
Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals and boldly vulnerable songwriting that reflects her personal life triumphs and a firm commitment to social activism.
Collins began her impressive music career at 13 as a piano prodigy, but the hard-luck tales and rugged sensitivity of folk revival music by artists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger seduced her away from a life as a concert pianist. Her path pointed to a lifelong love affair with the guitar and pursuit of emotional truth in lyrics. The focus and regimented practice of classical music, however, would be a source of strength to her inner core as she navigated the highs and lows of the music business. Collins’ career took off in the mid-1960s with her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell's “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album, “Wildflowers.” The song became a Top 10 hit on Billboard and earned Collins a Grammy Award in 1969 for Best Folk Performance.
Shenandoah Valley Music Festival 2019
The following year, Collins’ single “Bird on a Wire,” off her album “Who Knows Where the Time Goes” earned her Grammy nomination for the same category. The album included guitar work by Stephen Stills, with whom she had a highly publicized romance. Collins was also Stills’ inspiration for his 1969 hit “Suite Judy Blue Eyes,” which he wrote and recorded with David Crosby and Graham Nash, as part of the famous rock trio, Crosby, Stills and Nash. Her next Grammy nomination was in 1975 for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the dreamy and sweetly intimate version of “Send in the Clowns,” a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical “A Little Night Music.” The following year, Collins’ performance of “Send in the Clowns” was named Song of the Year at the 1976 Grammy Awards. Collins accepted the award on behalf of Sondheim.
Collins also released a collaborative album “Silver Skies Blue” in 2016 with Hest, her writing partner, which was Grammy-nominated for Best Folk Album in 2017, the first Grammy nomination for Collins in more than 40 years. In 2017, Judy recorded a DVD special “Judy Collins: A Love Letter to Stephen Sondheim.” Along with the Greely Philharmonic Orchestra, Judy dazzled the audience with Sondheim’s beautiful songs and her lovely, radiant voice.
Collins, now 80, is as creatively vigorous as ever, writing, touring worldwide and nurturing fresh talent. She is a modern day renaissance woman who is also an accomplished painter, filmmaker, record label head, musical mentor and an indemand keynote speaker for mental health and suicide prevention. She continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart.
By the mid-1970s Collins was at the height of her career, garnering several

Sierra Hull and Justin Moses
The Travelin’ McCourys
Ronnie and Rob McCoury were born into music, playing mandolin and banjo respectively with their father, Del McCoury, one of the most influential and successful musicians in the history of bluegrass.
Years on the road with their father in the Del McCoury Band honed their knifeedge chops and encouraged the duo to imagine how traditional bluegrass could cut innovative pathways into 21st century music. In 2009, the McCoury brothers did just that by spinning off their own band, The Travelin McCourys, with

fiddler Jason Carter and bassist Alan Bartram.
With their new lineup in place, the McCoury brothers focused on how they could propel bluegrass forward. They did so by incorporating a more modern style. With latest recruit Cody Kilby on guitar, the band sometimes plugs into amps to perform electric. They also started performing covers of popular songs, regardless of their genre, like The Grateful Dead's "Loser" and Passenger's "Let Her Go." Most recently their self-titled album won a 2019 Grammy Award for Bluegrass Album of the Year. The Travelin' McCourys were also honored by the
Sierra Hull’s music career began at an early age. She started learning how to play the mandolin at 8, and by the time she was 10, she had already made her Grand Ole Opry debut. She mentored under Allison Krauss and then signed with Rounder Records and released her debut album, “Secrets,” when she was only 13.

That same year she was named Mandolin Player of the Year by the IBMA and earned the title again in 2017 and 2018. Justin Moses, much like Hull, got started in music early when he joined his family’s gospel group at 6 years old. Moses would eventually master almost all the acoustic instruments needed for a full bluegrass band: mandolin, guitar, banjo, fiddle, dobro and bass. In 2018, he was named IBMA's Dobro Player of the Year. In recent years, Moses released his EP “Beyond Measure” with all instrumentals performed by himself. Hull and Moses got married in 2017 and now often perform as a duo.

She received the other Grammy in 2019 for the song “The Shaker,” recorded by The Travelin’ McCourys, for their self-titled album. She also made history in 2016 when she was named IBMA’s Fiddler and Female Vocalist of the Year making her the first person to win both an instrumental and vocal category.
Before Becky Buller formed her own band in 2016, she was a bluegrass singer-songwriter who performed and wrote songs for many other bands. She
