Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby
With Kentucky Thunder

> Buy Concert Only tickets now!

Eleven-time Grammy® winner and mandolin phenom Ricky Skaggs joins forces with pianist Bruce Hornsby, who has toured with the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan, and whose top ten hits include "Mandolin Rain," "End of the Innocence" and "The Way It Is." This remarkable gala concert will highlight the "fascinating and masterful" (Cybergrass) collaboration of these two stars whose 2007 eponymous CD was "one of most memorable projects I've ever done," raves Skaggs.

"Skaggs and Hornsby played two screamed-for encores, giving the people what they paid for: feel-good Americana and virtuoso musicianship." —Seattle Times

Education Programs

Summer in the City raises critical funds for the Kimmel Center's education programs including our curriculum-based performing arts classes serving grades 5-12, student matinees, our Dance in the Schools Initiative, the Teen Summer Arts Camp and the Kimmel Center Youth Jazz Ensemble.

Each of these wonderful programs, with the exception of the low-cost student matinees, are free of charge to every child. And it has been our experience that children who initially experience the Kimmel Center though a field trip to one of our curriculum classes often return for a future class, to audition for the summer camp, to try out for the Jazz Ensemble, or to attend a performance by an internationally acclaimed artist.

Your participation in Summer in the City will help us keep the kids involved and nurture the next generation of young artists and art enthusiasts!

"On behalf of my entire family, I'd like to thank you and your staff for providing such a wonderful experience for the kids in the Teen Summer Chamber Music Camp. This camp was a wonderful experience for my daughter who very much enjoyed the intensive coaching, the rehearsals, the camaraderie—and even the theory classes. Having 'camp' at the Kimmel Center is a rewarding experience for kids because it helps them to feel at home in the home of one of the city's cultural treasures. What an exciting and rewarding experience for these teenagers to be able to perform chamber music on the stage of Verizon Hall! This has been an invaluable and life-altering experience."
—A 2007 Teen Summer Arts Camp parent
