Fresh off their popular annual Christmas tour, the critically-acclaimed pop/classical family ensemble, the Annie Moses Band, is slated to make their debut at New York City's internationally-renowned Carnegie Hall on Saturday, January 14.  Joining them on the stage of the Isaac Stern Hall will be a plethora of promising young performers drawn from the ranks of the Annie Moses Band's annual Fine Arts Summer Academy, as well as The New American Chorus, a 250-voice choir under the direction of acclaimed conductor, Camp Kirkland.

"Performing in a legendary venue like Carnegie Hall is a life-long dream of every musician, and we couldn't be more excited," says Annie Wolaver, the band's lead singer/violinist.

Familiar to television audiences across the country, the Annie Moses Band has seen record-breaking success with their PBS special, Christmas with the Annie Moses Band, which has received more than 1,000 hours of airtime.  Their album, This Glorious Christmas, has been listed on Billboard's Top Classical Crossover Albums chart, and a new PBS special, Pilgrims and Prodigals, is slated to release this spring in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Reunion recording artist The Annie Moses Band recently wrapped up their 2009 Fine Arts Summer Academy, attended by more than 200 students from across the country.  Over the course of two weeks at Nashville’s Lipscomb University, Annie Moses Band members, along with a number of music professionals, worked with young artists aged 4 through college, on developing their musical expertise through sessions for strings, brass, woodwinds, guitar, drums/percussion, piano, drama, dance, voice, sound, lighting and video.

The 2009 Fine Arts Summer Academy concluded with the Gala Concert, held at Lipscomb’s Collins Auditorium.  Entitled “Diamonds and Dust,” the Concert featured a string orchestra, jazz orchestra, rhythm section, dancers, and choir, all comprised of Academy students.  A variety of small groups, ensembles and soloists also performed during the evening, which featured a special guest appearance by popular Christian music artist Michael O’Brien.

"The time spent with students at this year’s Academy achieved a deeper sense of community, a higher level of performance, and a stronger commitment to excellence,” said The Annie Moses Band’s Annie Wolaver.  “We saw a renewed resolve in our young artisans to hone their craft with even greater fervor.  Nothing brings us a greater joy.  The final show was simply spectacular."
