The Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University has announced its 2024-2025 Rialto Series including award-winning funk, opera and jazz musicians.
“We are excited for the upcoming season that features a broad range of artists – from funk, to African dance, to jazz” said Amy Reid, director with Georgia State University’s Office of Educational Outreach who oversees the Rialto Center for the Arts. “Our 2024-25 season is designed to bring audiences from the Atlanta area and beyond to connect with the Georgia State University campus and engage with our world-renown artists and performers.”
Performers of the upcoming series earned a total of three Grammy Awards from a combined 17 nominations.
The season begins Sept. 21 with the political comedy of Capitol Fools, the Washington-based musical parody group that emerged from the former troupe Capital Steps. Then on Oct. 6 audiences will experience Cirque Kalabanté – Afrique en Cirque, described as “a trip to African soil where the sets and costumes pay homage to the Guinean diaspora (with) high-level acrobatics, innovative choreography and colorful rhythms.”
The Rialto continues with consecutive award-winning musicians and events including: Veteran R&B and funk legends, Tower of Power, on Oct. 19; 2024 Grammy-winners, säje on Oct. 26; hitmakers of the ’50s with The Drifters, The Platters and Cornell Gunter’s Coasters on Feb. 8; the Rialto return of two-time Grammy winner and NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater on March 29; and Grammy-nominated clarinetist-saxophonist Anat Cohen with the Georgia State University Jazz Band on April 18.
Subscriptions are available now and single tickets go on sale Aug. 22 at Rialto.GSU.edu , the Rialto Box Office or phone via (404) 413-9TIX (9849).
