From pop to rock, from jazz to ballads, the play list of local band stephaniesid, starring Stephanie Morgan, never fails to take audiences on a musical journey that gets people moving, dancing, and singing along. They will be in concert at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 19, at Diana Wortham Theatre. This is a special benefit performance for area students through Diana Wortham Theatre\u2019s Y.E.S. (Youth Education Scholarship) Fund.\u201d<\/p>\n

With music self-dubbed \u201cpop-noir,\u201d the band plays hundreds of shows a year and has appeared in concert at Bonnaroo, on huge stages, and in intimate lounges.<\/p>\n

In addition to Stephanie, the group includes Charles \u201cChuck\u201d Lichtenberger (keyboard\/piano), Tim Haney (percussion), George Sinko (cello), and Sarah Hurd (violin). They most recently took home the title of \u201cCrowd Favorite\u201d at the 2015 Music Video Asheville Awards for their hit song \u201cLonely in Manhattan.\u201d Excavator<\/i>, the band\u2019s fifth full-length album debuted last summer, and the group is currently on a promotional tour through 2016.<\/p>\n

A stephaniesid concert is a multifaceted experience that never fails to surprise even their most ardent fans. It is soulful, positive, and at times emotionally intense. According to one fan, it is also \u201cincredibly feeling.\u201d The energy exchange between the band members and their audience is definitely a symbiotic one.<\/p>\n

Last November, Diana Wortham Theatre announced the Y.E.S. Emerging Artists Fund, a new program designed to support young performers by providing scholarships to graduating high school seniors to help them advance their careers in the performing arts. Recipients of the Emerging Artists Fund scholarships, which begin at $1,000 each, will be announced during this March 19 concert.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to launch this new program,\u201d says Rae Geoffrey, associate director of Diana Wortham Theatre. \u201cThe Emerging Artists Fund scholarship can open doors for the next generation of performing artists in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new scholarship fund is an outgrowth of Y.E.S. Fund created to make it possible for underserved students to attend Diana Wortham Theatre school programming.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo see these brilliant high school seniors enter the performing arts stream with such purpose and charisma reminds me to never put out that fire within myself,\u201d says Stephanie Morgan, \u201cand of why the arts are critical to the well-being of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets ($37.45 for adults, $21.40 for children, and $32.10 for students) are available online at dwtheatre.com<\/a> or by calling the box office at 828.257.4530.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
