Barrowburn Friday, May 22 | 7 p.m. | Free Page-Walker kicks off the Starlight Concert season with Barrowburn, a band that demonstrates their love for Celtic music from an American perspective. These guys are equally at home ripping through jigs or reels as they are rendering a beautiful slow air or lament. Barrowburn performs both classic and contemporary ballads from the Celtic tradition as well as lively Irish pub songs and shanties. Visit www.barrowburn.net. The Friends of Page-Walker Concert Series The Friends of Page-Walker Concert Series offers intimate Sunday afternoon concerts in the Main Gallery of the historic Page-Walker Arts & History Center. Light refreshments are served at intermission. Tickets are $15 per performance. Visit www.friendsofpagewalker.org or call (919) 460-4963 for more. Tony Williamson Sunday, January 25 | 4 p.m. Page-Walker Arts & History Center "Mandolin Virtuoso Tony Williamson sure can play, and what he doesn't know about mandolins, nobody does!" This is how Acoustic Musician magazine summed up the skill of a man whose concerts have delighted audiences for over 40 years in every state of the Union and in many foreign countries. His tours have included performances in France, Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, Brazil and most recently, Peru. He brings to the concert stage a love of music, a deep connection to his Carolina roots and a wonderful knowledge of musical instruments and their history. Brian Reagin Sunday, February 15 | 4 p.m. Page-Walker Arts & History Center Brian Reagin, violinist and Concertmaster of the North Carolina Symphony, returns as a favorite to the Friends Concert Series. Reagin, who captivates audiences with his brilliant performances, will treat concert-goers to a classical repertoire on his Lorenzo and Tomasso Carcassi violin made in Florence, Italy in 1763. Don't miss this one, it sells out every year! TONY WILLIAMSON BARROWBURN
