The event is $25 per person, beginning with cocktails at 5:15 p.m., catered dinner at 6 p.m., followed by a varied pop and classical vocal program starting at 7 p.m. at the Coronado Center, Hot Springs Village.The second event scheduled is the Harmony of Homes Tour, Monday, October 11, in Hot Springs Village.

Morning tours begin at 9 a.m. and afternoon tours at 1 p.m. Advanced ticket sales will be announced in July. The home tour benefits music scholarships, band instruments, band camp, the ASO and other philanthropic musical endeavors in Hot Springs and the surrounding area. This is a "save the date" for your calendar with advance tour/luncheon tickets at only $25 per person, advance home-tour only tickets $15 and same day home-only tickets $20. Announcement for ticket sale date forthcoming.Back by popular demand is The Acousticatz, Friday, October 15 at the Woodlands Auditorium, Hot Springs Village, with curtain time at 7:30 p.m. and $10 ticket price per person. Steeped in bluegrass but tinged by pop, jazz and country, the group can best be summed up in just five words: Everything old is new again. Semifinalists in the Colgate Country Showdown, the biggest country music competition in the world, the group has enjoyed extensive touring throughout Arkansas and the U.S. They have three CDs to their credit and are working on the fourth with some exciting new original material. The Acousticatz have been featured the last four years at the American Music and Craftsmanship festival at Silver Dollar City and are proud members of the International Bluegrass Music Association. This concert is a great value and tickets will go fast when open to the public in late September.The New Christy Minstrels is an American folk legend ensemble. Formed by Randy Sparks in 1961, their performance is scheduled for Thursday, November 18, 7:30 p.m. with tickets at $25 per person at the Woodlands Auditorium, HSV. This will undoubtedly be a sell-out, so watch for ticket sales announcements and purchase tickets early. When Sparks started the NCM, the name deliberately evoked Christy’s Minstrels, an enormously popular 19th century blackface minstrel group founded by Edwin Pearce Christy. This globally recognized group had several Top 40 folk music hits, including "This Land Is Your Land," "Green, Green," "Today," and "Ramblin." "Green, Green" sold over one million copies in 1963 and was awarded a gold disc. The film score for the 1964 comedy movie, Advance to the Rear, featuring Glenn Ford and Stella Stevens, was the first complete soundtrack ever made in the folk music style. The score is notable for the hit standard "Today" and several others, including "This Old Riverboat" and "Company of Cowards" (the original title). Randy will be presiding over a faithfully restored group offering no less than three Original New Christy Minstrels to reclaim their rightful place on stage and in the hearts and minds of millions. The reunion group has now been in high gear for more than four years.Rounding out the concert season, The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra’s Christmas Concert returns to the Woodlands Auditorium in Hot Springs Village on Monday, December 20; $25 per person tickets and curtain time at 7:30 p.m. What better way to celebrate the Christmas season than listening to the familiar holiday melodies played by the ASO under the direction of Musical Director and Conductor Maestro Philip Mann. "I’m thrilled at the prospect of joining the ASO as it turns the page and embarks on a new chapter in its already celebrated history," said Mann. Mann promises a stellar concert with perhaps a few surprises.The Guild’s holiday fundraiser is a Branson Christmas Tour Monday, November 29 through Thursday, December 2. It’s a relaxing trip by motor coach and three night’s accommodations at Savannah House. There will be reserved seats for six shows with some lunches and dinners included. Call Sue Smith at 984-6191 for more information on ticket prices and shows.Majority funding for the Guild’s philanthropic work is derived from memberships and individual donations to the organization.
