Submitted October 28, 2015
The North Florida Community CollegeArtist Series presents War Bonds: The Songs & Letters of WWII
on Thursday, Nov. 5 at Van H. Priest Auditorium. The performance
begins at 7 p.m. and includes a special tribute to area veterans as
well as delicious desserts and refreshments at intermission. Tickets
are on sale now at the NFCC College Advancement Office (Bldg. 32,
NFCC campus).
All veterans and any WWII veteran who
attends will be admitted at no charge. “This is the perfect show
and time to honor and say ‘thank you’ to our veterans,” said
Kim Scarboro, NFCC Artist Series Coordinator. “We have a special
night planned that will highlight some of our local WWII veterans and
history. It’s also going to be a great night of live music, singing
and time spent with our friends and community.”
Award winning artists David zum Brunnen
and Serena Ebhardt and their live band fill the stage with wartime
memories and tunes in this musical journey through a war that
redefined the world. This multimedia, living history cabaret is
interspersed with personal letters from the front and headline news
of the period, providing a warm reminiscence and a harrowing reminder
of a time when the whole world seemed upside down. This family show
allows the greatest generation to celebrate, as the next greatest
generation contemplates.
