Daria Rabotkina has been lauded as "... a pianist full of fire and warmth"
(The Plain-Dealer). Ms. Rabotkina's career has already led to solo
appearances with the San Francisco and New World Symphonies under the baton
of Michael Tilson Thomas and with the Kirov Orchestra and Valery Gergiev in
a four concert North American tour. Whether in front of an orchestra, in the
recital hall or in a chamber music setting, this "Russian virtuoso" (The
Miami Herald) impresses audiences and critics alike. For teachers, your
students will love the new Morning Music format. Join us for an hour long
concert with a professional musician and a 30 minute Question and Answer
session.

Algonquin Arts' Celebrity Benefit series debuts November 14 with "It's
Madame with an E." After nearly two decades of silence, Madame, the puppet
diva is back! Created by stage partner Wayland Flowers in the 1960s, Madame
(and Flowers) were famous for stints on the '70s and '80s TV shows Hollywood
Squares and Solid Gold, along with her very own show, Madame's Place.
Flowers died in 1988, halting Madame's stage career. Now Madame is back on
stage with new partner Rick Skye. She's just as fabulous as ever and remains
uncensored, sassy, and hilarious! Madame's mouth is filled with double
entendres and acid one-liners, and is intended for adults interested in
seeing the rebirth of a nightclub legend!
The Algonquin Arts property has recently been purchased by the nonprofit,
and the organization is excited to resume theatre restoration planning.
Tickets to this Benefit Series will raise funds to support Algonquin Arts'
mission to bring outstanding programming to audiences in a state-of-the-art
facility. This event is generously supported by The Mill at Spring Lake
