George Winston tickets on sale

George Winston is probably the best known of the "New Age" musicians. The pianist will perform at 7:30 p.m. March 6 in the Columbus State University Fine Arts Hall on main campus.

Tickets are $25. It's general admission, so you'd better get there early for the best seats. They're available at Everything Musical, at the corner of Britt David Road and Veterans Parkway; the Stewart Community Home, 1125 15th St.; New Horizons CSB, 1215 Second Ave.; or at the Fine Arts Hall box office.

The concert will benefit the homeless and is sponsored by the Stewart Community Home and New Horizons.

Concertgoers are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Second Harvest Food Bank. A portion of the sales from Winston's merchandise will also go to the food bank.

Winston's "Gulf Coast Blues & Impressions -- A Hurricane Relief Benefit" was to help the people whose homes were devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

This solo piano concert features Winston's work as well as R&B favorites, stride piano and Vince Guaraldi's "Peanuts" pieces.

For more information, call Nadine Coker at the Stewart Community Home at 706-327-2707, ext. 106.
