Welcome to Columbia Festival of the Arts 2008 Season
Our 2008 Season is wonderfully diverse, both in artistic genre and in culture. The dynamic and eclectic lineup includes fine art, literature, film, music, dance, theater, comedy and magic—truly something for everyone.
Among the brilliant performers are Garth Fagan Dance led by the Tony award-winning choreographer of The Lion King; the sensational international dance group, Luna Negra; Summer Strings at Belmont with virtuoso string quartet Sweet Plantain; and, Mike Super, who was voted the world’s top mystifier on NBC’s hit show “Phenomenon.” We’re especially pleased to be presenting super star Judy Collins, whose beautiful vocals and superb artistry span multiple generations. And, for our season finale we’re thrilled to bring back the smash hit that had everyone buzzing two years ago, East Village Opera
Company.
Bringing artists of this caliber to the Festival year after year would be virtually impossible without the funding provided by our sponsors and individual donors. As you applaud the array of talent that is presented this year, we at the Festival applaud those that have enabled us to bring such extraordinary artists into our community.
