One of our fave local site, Scoutmob, has written up a lovely piece about Atlanta Fringe, coming up March 13:
Classical music is getting the cool kid makeover this Saturday. And they call it “Fringe”. A mixed media concert series in its second successful season, Fringe has been getting plenty of buzz, selling out shows, and redefining what people think of classical concerts in Atlanta. And the word is spreading fast. This weekend’s edition features pianist Brandt Fredriksen, cellist Erin Breene, violist Tania Clements, double-bassist Emory Clements and violinist Fia Mancini Durrett.

You can never have too much Sinatra. This fine collection happens to coincide with the new Twyla Tharp production Come Fly With Me, which opens this month at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre.
The album features a cross-section of impeccable Sinatra standards built around the theme of wooing women, something he knew a little about.

And for giveaways.
