Celebrating its 10th Anniversary Season, The Flint Hills Children’s Choir (FHCC), is excited to present “Happy Holidays from the Little Apple,” and honored to feature members of Bates Dance Studios and the Manhattan Youth Symphony.

The FHCC provides excellence in choral music instruction and performance for children and enrichment in the arts for the Manhattan and surrounding communities. Based in Manhattan, Kansas, the Flint Hills Children’s Choir was founded in 2015 by long-time colleagues and friends, Janie Brokenicky and Janet Armstead. The first choir, comprised of 28 5th-9th grade singers, quickly expanded to two treble-voiced choirs (Bluestem and Konza) spanning grades 3-10. With membership now over 100, FHCC singers represent the communities of Clay Center, Manhattan, Olsburg, Riley, Saint George, Wamego, and Westmoreland. FHCC is open to students from any community and educational background. Scholarships are available to families with financial need, thanks to the generosity of FHCC sponsors.

MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER CHRISTMAS by Chip Davis has been America’s favorite holiday tradition for more than 35 years! Grammy Award winner Chip Davis has created a show that features Mannheim Steamroller Christmas classics in the distinctive Mannheim sound. The program includes 15 musicians playing more than 20 instruments against a backdrop of dazzling multimedia effects — capturing the spirit of the season in an immersive yet intimate setting.

With 8 of their albums selling over 2 million copies and worldwide hits like “Jackie Blue” and “If You Want To Get To Heaven” still in regular classic rock rotation…The Ozark Mountain Daredevils have come a long way from the Missouri bars and porches where their music was born. Combining stunning vocal harmonies with a distinctive mix of Country Rock and Electric Bluegrass, the Dares were one of the most-decorated and inventive Country Rock bands of the 20th century.

For over 20 years now, Aaron Watson has traveled the land as country’s ultimate underdog troubadour — a truly independent artist with the spirit of the American frontier in his veins, and a self-made empire to match.

Working without corporate backers, he has nonetheless reached the Top 10 of Billboard’s Country Album chart five separate times – an impressive feat by any standard — and that includes his triumphant 2015 set, The Underdog, which landed at Number One. Matching sold-out shows across the country with homegrown hits, he’s followed suit at country radio, making history in 2017 with “Outta Style” and “Run Wild Horses.” But despite the success, the Texas native remains a fighter punching far above his weight, constantly defending his right to be in the ring.

NOTE: This is the re-scheduled show from September 5th, which was postponed when Watson was put on vocal rest.

This new and unique production brings the material, the music and the artists together on stage in a magical, mystery-filled creation combining visual theater, dance, and humor into an exciting, multi-sensory experience, the likes of which audiences have never before seen. This is the story of one man’s incredible journey to a parallel universe — a futuristic planet made entirely of aluminum. Aluminum pipes come to life right before the audience’s very eyes, transforming into imaginary, mysterious, and playful characters. The new show was written and directed by Lior Kalfo, creator of the internationally successful shows “Voca People,” “Fantasy,” and “Glow,” with choreography by Ido Tadmor, one of Israel’s foremost choreographers, and under the artistic direction of Ilan Azriel, co-creator of the international Aluminum Show.
