Jazz vocalist Maud Hixson (pictured) and pianist Rick Carlson will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24 in Minnesota State University, Mankato’s Elias J. Halling Recital Hall of the Earley Center for Performing Arts.

Hixson is a singer of classic jazz and popular songs of the 20th century. Many of her shows focus on songs written by women during the 1930s and 1940s, an era Hixson says is one of the most fertile periods for women songwriters.

Carlson taught himself to play the piano by studying the vast catalogs of Count Basie and Duke Ellington while absorbing their musical technique.

Minnesota State Mankato students are admitted free with a valid MavCARD and by preregistering for the concert at www.mnsu.edu/music/events. Concert admission for community members is $10 (advance purchase) and $12 at the door. Those who wish to purchase tickets online should go to www.mnsu.edu/music.

One night, three incredible performances! Grab your friends and enjoy your favorite adult beverage while listening to a variety of classic songs!

Saturday, September 28th

Event opens at 4:00pm | Music starts at 5:45pm | Located in Chankaska’s Event Center

MuTaCo is set to return. This year’s Musical Tales Concerto theme is “Dare to Scare” with participants working on their scariest story yet!

MuTaCo is a unique, immersive opportunity for writers and musicians from the region to learn to collaborate in new ways to bring stories to life through words and music. Over the course of a weekend, teams of composers and writers will collaborate to create stories. Teams will rehearse with a director to present and perform their stories at the end of the weekend.

Who Should Apply?

Everybody with an interest and passion for musical theater and drama. While we don’t ask for experience in writing or composing for musical theater, we need to make sure composers are capable of reading and writing music and writers have experience in writing dialogue and lyrics or poems. While the main focus is on musical theater writing, artistic director, Mike von der Nahmer, will encourage each participant to look for their own unique approach in telling stories with music and words.
