from the director

we are thrilled to present a wide array of world-class performing artists to our community during the fall of 2022.

The first half of our 25th Anniversary Season features highly acclaimed artists including fence by staibdance, a visually stunning performance based upon dramatic events George Staib experienced as a child growing up in Iran; Final Cut features FSU alum Oualid Mouaness, the award-winning creator of 1982, a film based on experiences set in Lebanon; pop culture phenomenon Scott Bradlee’s Post Modern Jukebox remakes today’s hits with the sounds of yesterday; R&B hitmakers All4-One, known for their countless love songs; rising star Mykal Kilgore, who received a GRAMMY® award nomination for “Best Traditional R&B Performance;” award-winning John Jorgensen Blue Brass Band will fill Goodwood with their signature “high lonesome” sound; the magic of Disney comes to Ruby Diamond Concert Hall with Disney Princess – The Concert, featuring four Broadway Disney Princesses singing all the songs you know and love; high rollicking Celtic band Seven Nations brings a new twist to traditional Celtic

music; the enchanting music of tenThing Brass Ensemble, an all-female group from Norway, rings in the holiday season with beautiful music.

It’s not too late to become a member of Opening Nights and to show your support of our mission to present exceptional artists—a mission worthy of supporting and celebrating! These performances create a thriving cultural life in our community and create priceless educational experiences on campus and throughout the community. Ask any Opening Nights associate about these philanthropic opportunities. We hope you join us!

Thank you again for supporting Opening Nights 25th Anniversary Season at Florida State University. Enjoy these outstanding performances!

Proud to Support Opening Nights at Florida State University!

New York City pianist Scott Bradlee created Postmodern Jukebox to remake the pop hits of today into the classic sounds of the legends of yesterday. Miley Cyrus became The Platters. Bruno Mars became Frank Sinatra. The Spice Girls became The Andrews Sisters. Guns ’n’ Roses became Bessie Smith. A decade later, Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox has grown to become a pop culture mainstay in its own right, having played over one thousand shows on six continents—including acclaimed venues like Radio City Music Hall, Sydney Opera House and Red Rocks Amphitheater. One-part celebration of vintage music and culture, one-part “‘Saturday Night Live’ for singers,” a Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox show is an unforgettable trip back in time.

Herb & Mary Jervis

Congratulations Opening Nights for fostering the Arts in Tallahassee for the past 25 years.
