The blessings of destiny brought the North Theatre and our community, knowledge of the European jazz sensation, ANCA PARGHEL. Anca's husband, Alex, came to Danville as a toxicologist with LUNA the nano-technology concern that is fast becoming a part of the regions' landscape and this makes ANCA a part of the Danville community. It is rare that ANCA gets a break from a heavy touring schedule across Europe and as head of the Jazz Department at the Royal Academy of Brussels, but she will be in town for a month and has graciously agreed to perform for us on the North Stage. A master of Jazz vocals and a scat singer that would give Ella Fitzgerald a turn, she is also an accomplished pianist, both jazz and classical and we will get to hear her sing and play the Alice R. Grogan Steinway Concert Grand Piano on the evening of November 10, 2006 at 7:30 PM.

As if this was not enough for the price of $10.00, we will open the show with VITWAS CHITNIS playing the mystical sounds of sitar with the classical tabla accompanist. VITWAS, who hails from Raliegh, North Carolina, studied with the master Ali Kahn and this will be a rare treat for all of us!

Tickets are on sale at INTERMISSION CAFE, Tuesdays through Saturdays from 4 to 10 pm in the North Theatre Arts Complex, 629 North Main Street in Danville.. INTERMISSION is a full service restaurant and bar serving the best tastes in the city with linens and candlelight, often with live piano music for your total dining pleasure. Make your reservations early for before or after show dining.
