Judith Arts Society
Announces 2012-2013 Season

Information shared by Vicky McCray,
Judith Basin Press News-Editor

The board of the Judith Arts Society was pleased to welcome back The Illuminators, a five-man band from Lewistown, for the first concert in the 2012-2013 performing arts season on September 29th. The band headlined the Society's Pub Night at the Utica Community Hall.

The Illuminators describe their music as "tasty, uncomplicated, and soulful," pointing out it's all "just plain good music."

Their repertoire ranged from classic to modern and from well known to obscure. Many of the songs they played are their favorites and are sure to be favorites of their audiences as well. They assure listeners that no matter the genre, all of their music carries a common thread – it is easy on the ear.

Pub Night proved to be a very fun evening for everyone involved and board members enjoyed seeing friends returing for the new season.

The season continues with three additional concerts: the music and history of Australia by Paul Taylor on November 4; Celtic music by Tra le Gael of Whitefish on January 20; and piano talent by Jason Farnham of Los Angeles on March 17.

JAS season tickets are still on sale – $35 per person or $75 for a family series ticket, which covers both parents and up to four children – and can be purchased by calling Board Chairman Conni Kaufman at 406-423-5332. It's a small price to pay for four wonderful concerts.

Once again, this season promises to be a good one!

Raised in Canton, Ohio Jason Farnham began playing the piano at the age of four. An international entertainer, he has been called the “chameleon artist” because he performs in so many different genres. His performances have ranged from the baby grand at Deepak Chopra's retreat in San Diego to the synthesizer in Sunset Strip's hottest techno dance clubs. A diverse composer and songwriter, his song “Rock Star”, from the album “Barriers”, was placed in the feature film, “American High School”.
