New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Classical Masters, a nonprofit organization providing music scholarships within the Sacramento region, announced today their Gala Concert programming. This year, the Classical Masters Gala Concert will feature "The Four Phantoms," a quartet including four of Broadway's leading men from The Phantom of the Opera.
These former Phantoms including Brent Barrett, Ciarán Sheehan, Franc D'Ambrosio, and Marcus Lovett will take to the stage at the Harris Center in Folsom to honor the musical legacy of Broadway. The four iconic leading men have received accolades worldwide for their starring performances as the Phantom, in Andrew
Lloyd Webber's Broadway phenomenon The Phantom of the Opera. They have graced the stages in London, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, Germany, Los Angeles, Las
Vegas and now in Folsom.
"We are thrilled to be able to bring this musical talent to the Sacramento area for a one-of-a-kind showcase of their Broadway experience," said Tom Ruscica, Classical Masters Board President. "The proceeds from the event will help fuel our scholarship program and provide deserving and musically talented children with access to future education in the musical arts."
"The Four Phantoms" will perform two shows as part of the Classical Master's Gala Concert taking place on
September 15. The first show will start at 2 p.m. and the second show will begin at 7 p.m. and will take place at The Harris Center (10 College Parkway, Folsom, CA 95630). Tickets for the event range from $54 - $84 and can be purchased directly from The Harris Center websit. All proceeds from this concert will benefit the Classical Master's scholarship fund.
Classical Masters was established in 2009 by then high school freshman, Austin Lee. Austin created Classical Masters and the Classical Masters
Music Festival to share and provide musical experiences with the greater Sacramento region and to those who do not have the same accessibility to the musical arts as he has had. To date, the organization has provided 19 individual scholarships totaling over $17,000 and seven school grants totaling over $11,000.
The Classical Masters
Music Festival (CMMF) was founded in 2009 by Austin Lee, a then freshman in high school. The organization was created to not only give musical performance opportunities, but also to share and inspire individuals of all ages in the art of classical music. CMMF aims to raise enough funds to assist other Sacramento area organizations focused on young preforming artists and aspiring artists. For more information about the Classical Masters
