Maureen Christine and the Michael Bazan Quartet will perform a program called "Your Hit Parade: Global Edition," showcasing popular hits of artists and composers from various spots around the globe.

The concert will include songs made famous by such diverse stars as Julie Andrews, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Helen Reddy, Burt Bacharch, and Olivia Newton John. Adding to the variety, the program will include famous light classical selections from Italy and Paris, along with a sprinkling of jazz standards. 

The original radio and TV program, "Your Hit Parade," shaped American musical tastes for nearly 25 years during the mid-20th century. Maureen Christine and quartet update the concept with a "Global Edition" twist.

As an incentive to ticket buyers, the series offers a "Full Table of Six" option, providing six seats for the price of five. All paid tickets include three complimentary beverages (wine, beer, soft drinks).

The Spring series also includes concerts on April 5 and May 17 featuring, respectively, John Dorhauer's Heisenberg Uncertainty Players big band performing a program called "Classical Jazz," and vocalist Wally Swiatly along with a versatile trio in a program called "Simply Wally," featuring a variety of songs, styles and eras.
