But why settle for just a visual feast when you can have it all at the flower show?  We want your ears to be as excited as your eyes.

We’ve already told you about our stellar musical line-up for opening day, and now we want to let you know about the artists for Thursday, Jan. 29.

Starting at 10:15 A.M., you’ll stroll through the gardens and exhibits as Charlotte Dewberry plays piano, followed by Ezekiel Kennedy.  At 12:15, the Inman Middle School Jazz Band will knock your socks off with their lively performance.  By that afternoon, you’ll be listening to Linda Fraser on the piano and singer Cliff deMarks on jazz keyboard.

George Skaroulis closes out the day on the piano from 6:15 to 8 P.M.   (You can hear a preview of performances by George Skaroulis and Cliff deMarks by clicking on the red text, above.)

Don’t miss these wonderful artists!

Cheers,

Lynn

But at this year’s flower show, we want to give your ears a special treat, too.  We’re proud to present acclaimed pianist Takana Miyamoto on opening day, Jan. 28. Takana will perform as you stroll the show from 10 A.M. to 2:15 P.M.

Pianist Takana Miyamoto opens the show.

From 2:15 to 4 P.M., listen for the “jazz soirees” of Mary Jo Strickland, and from 4:15 to 5 P.M., the music of Michael Fauss.

Starting at 5:45, the Atlanta Opera takes center stage with “Passionate for Puccini.”

Passionate for the opera? We're passionate about gardening, too!

Remember, this year’s show is all about passion:  for exquisite flowers and floral arrangements, delicious foods, exciting speakers, popular authors, and, to top it all off, great music.

I hope to see you there!

cheers,

Lynn
