Cultural Arts Council and Cultural Center to host Benefit Concert featuring musician Ted Quinn
THE MORONGO BASIN CULTURAL ARTS COUNCIL AND THE HI-DESERT CULTURAL CENTER WILL HOST A SPECIAL WINTER SOLSTICE BENEFIT CONCERT
JOSHUA TREE, CA – The Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council and the Hi-Desert Cultural Center are teaming-up to present a special benefit concert featuring Ted Quinn's "Winter Wunderground” one night only, December 21, 2008 at 7pm.
The personal, the political and the spiritual collide with the subconscious in the work of Joshua Tree's psychedelic folk bard Ted Quinn. "He's local but he belongs to the World," says SunRunner Magazine.
"I wanted to do something special to celebrate this new time in all of our lives, personally, locally and globally,” stated Quinn. “Winter Wunderground was conceived as a benefit to support the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council and the Hi-Desert Cultural Center; two very important supporters of the arts in our community. Winter Wunderground gives me a chance to play some of the songs I've written and co-written over the past twenty years or so, in a setting that really places the focus on the songs."
Quinn will be joined by Classical Harp player Patti Hood (Guns and Roses, Harold Budd), Anthony Scott Mason (Bingo's Dream Band, Desert Sessions), Robbi Robb (Tribe After Tribe, Three Fish), Kripa Watts-Robb (Amritakripa, Butter Thief), in an intimate and rare theatrical performance of songs chosen for the occasion of Winter Solstice, the longest night and the birth of light.
“We are excited about being able to collaborate on this concert,” stated Hi-Desert Cultural Center President Jarrod Radnich. “Our two arts organizations have been enjoying such great successes individually, this is truly the first time that our two organizations will be able to pull together our expertise for a fun and entertaining evening.”
The concert will take place at the Cultural Center’s new state-of-the-art Blak Box Theatre, located directly behind the historic Hi-Desert Playhouse on the highway in Joshua Tree. Tickets are $15 general admission and a no-host bar serving beer and wine will be available. To order tickets, call the Box Office at 366-3777 to talk to a “live” person, or order tickets online at www.hidesertculturalcenter.com using the new, easy to use Vendini ticketing system.
