Find out moreThe Cannon Classical Music Series brings the best of local and regional live classical music to the stage of the Sautee Nacoochee Center. In this intimate, 98-seat theatre, there is no bad seat and the execution and vibrancy of every performance rings true.Revien is a contemporary chamber ensemble consisting of three members of the Georgia Guitar Quartet, with Phil Snyder on cello, Kyle Dawkins on guitars and electronics, and Brian Smith on guitars and electronics. All graduates of the University of Georgia Hugh Hodgson School of Music, the trio embraces the classical repertoire and draws from the energy of rock and pop music as well incorporated into their programs. Playing in a collection of Athens bands throughout their seventeen years together, the trio is equally at home in rock and chamber music lineups, and creates a compelling program for audiences, incorporating modern tech and prepared enhancements on their instruments - you might hear guitars and cello used as percussion, or guitar strings fitted with found objects to sound more like a sitar or an Indonesian gamelan, for instance. The trio is regularly featured on NPR's Performance Today. Their most recent album, Dama, consists of all original compositions by the members.

The Old Man has kept his post as the sole caretaker of the moon for as long as he or his wife, the Old Woman, can remember. When she is drawn away by a mysterious melody sparking memories of their shared past, the Old Man must decide between duty and routine, and love and adventure.Luckily for audiences everywhere, he chooses the latter, and what follows is an imaginative sea-faring epic, encompassing apocalyptic storms, civil wars, leviathans of the deep, and cantankerous ghosts, as well as the fiercest obstacle of all: change.
