A fundraiser for the New Vic Theatre. Over the past twenty years Arnie Johnston has established himself as perhaps the foremost translator of songs by Jacques Brel, the noted Belgian singer-songwriter whose work entranced millions of listeners and theatregoers until his untimely death in 1978. On his 1997 compact disk recording Jacques Brel: I'm Here! Arnie performs 19 of his 80 or so translations of Brel's songs. Four revues featuring Arnie's Brel translations have been staged in New York City, as well as others in Chicago (recognized by nine Jefferson Award nominations), Houston, Boca Raton, Cincinnati, and Kalamazoo. The most recent Chicago production, Jacques Brel's Lonesome Losers of the Night, played to rave reviews and packed houses in Fall 2008 and Summer 2009. A member of the Dramatists Guild and the American Literary Translators Association. A longtime performer with and supporter of the New Vic, Arnie now offers, with the excellent assistance of acclaimed musical performer and arranger Lori Hatfield, a concert to benefit this beloved Kalamazoo institution. Admission: $50 per person If you have dinner at the Park Club before the concert from 5-7:30 PM, the Park Club will donate 10% of the cost of your meal to the New Vic. For dinner reservations, please call the Park Club at 381-0876. |
