Harris Center for the Arts Program Guide 2023-2024
Long envisioned as a critically important element for Folsom Lake College, the visual and performing arts center was initially conceived as a facility to instruct, develop, and guide talented students to become actors, musicians, dancers, visual artists, and behind-the-curtain technicians. In February, 2011 the Center opened as "Three Stages at Folsom Lake College" and by the end of its second full season it had already attracted over 300,000 patrons to its offerings. The Harris Center for the Arts seeks to enrich the lives of people throughout California’s capital region by providing venues and opportunities to experience artistic work, celebrate cultural traditions and participate in the creative process.

Classic Albums Live – Sticky Fingers<br />
Sunday, January 28, <strong>2024</strong>; 7:30pm<br />
BIO Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums<br />
Live takes <strong>the</strong> greatest albums and recreates <strong>the</strong>m<br />
live on stage - note <strong>for</strong> note, cut <strong>for</strong> cut, using <strong>the</strong> best<br />
musicians. This special concert event will feature <strong>the</strong><br />
Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers album, including “Brown<br />
Sugar,” “Wild Horses,” “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking,” and<br />
more.<br />
“Think of it as a recital,” says Martin. “These albums are<br />
historic and stand <strong>the</strong> test of time.” Forgoing costumes and<br />
impersonations, Classic Albums Live has found success in<br />
concentrating solely on <strong>the</strong> music. “We don’t dress up or<br />
wear any sort of costume. All of our energy is put into <strong>the</strong><br />
music. We want <strong>the</strong> per<strong>for</strong>mance to sound exactly like <strong>the</strong><br />
album,” says Martin.<br />
With 100+ shows a year across North America, Classic<br />
Albums Live has seen massive success in per<strong>for</strong>ming arts<br />
centers and <strong>the</strong>atres. Fans in Texas, Florida, Cali<strong>for</strong>nia,<br />
New York, and central and east coast Canada have all<br />
continued to support <strong>the</strong> series and make it a sustaining,<br />
successful show.<br />
“We grew while o<strong>the</strong>rs withdrew,” says Martin, commenting<br />
on <strong>the</strong> decline of concert ticket sales. “We created<br />
something that endures and connects. These albums are<br />
sacred to people. We deliver exactly what we promote<br />
- ‘note <strong>for</strong> note, cut <strong>for</strong> cut’ accuracy.” It’s this type of<br />
accountability that works <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> series.<br />
