Powell Hall Presents: The Simon & Garfunkel Story

Accompanied by original film footage and a full band, this concert traces Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s rise from humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry to their incredible success as one of the best-selling music groups of the 1960s. Songs that helped define an era—including “Mrs. Robinson,” “Cecilia,” “Homeward Bound,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “The Sound of Silence,” and more—are brought to life in this one-night-only event.
Powell Hall Presents: Terence Blanchard and Ravi Coltrane: Miles Davis and John Coltrane Centennial
Saturday, June 6, 7:30pm CDT
In 1926, two monumental voices in music were born: Miles Davis and John Coltrane. A century later, their influence reverberates in a concert that’s equal parts tribute and transformation. Bringing together two of today’s most visionary artists, this once-in-a-generation collaboration continues their legacy. Saxophonist Ravi Coltrane brings a sound that is at once deeply personal and rooted in his father’s groundbreaking style, blending reverence with bold experimentation. Terence Blanchard, a boundary-pushing trumpeter and composer, draws from a lifelong engagement with Miles Davis’ fearless artistry. Together with an instrumental ensemble, the concert celebrates jazz’s rich past while embracing its future.
