CROSSVILLE —
Headlining the opening show for the 40th year of the Fairfield Glade Resident Homeowners Association will be none other than local favorite Brian Bacon and his wife, Amanda, in a program called “Bel Canto to Broadway” Jan. 28. This promises to be a one-of-a-kind show, and you will not want to miss it.
Brian is currently the director of music and liturgy at St. Francis of Assissi Catholic Church in Fairfield Glade, where he directs seven choirs, including the Festival Chorale of Fairfield Glade and is also the music director and conductor of the Cumberland County Community Band. He is an award-winning musician and will be making his conducting debut in the world-famous Carnegie Hall in New York City next spring. This is Mr. Bacon’s fifth invitation to be a part of the MidAmerican Productions Choral Concert Series, but his first as a guest conductor.
Brian will have the opportunity to conduct the New England Symphonic Ensemble and a 150-voice choir that will include the Festival Chorale of Fairfield Glade, Roane State Community College Concert Choir and other choirs from across the United States.
Amanda Marie Bacon (soprano) is a native of Crossville and has studied vocal performance at Roane State Community College and Maryville College. She has been the featured soloist for the Maryville College Orchestra, Southern Stars Symphonic Brass Ensemble, Cumberland County Community Chorus, St. Joseph Community Chorus, Maryville-Alcoa Community Chorus and with many churches throughout Tennessee and Missouri.

Your dues are the only monies that the group has to provide the entertainment. There is an abundance of excellent entertainers in our area, which is part of what makes this such a great community to live in, and they do enjoy your support.
