Replacements For Raue Center's 2nd Annual National Piano Conference



Richard Marx has cancelled his concert on June 29, 2013 at Raue Center For The Arts due to personal concerns. Marx was slated to headline The Second Annual National Piano Conference at Raue Center. "Luckily, a couple of great guys in a hit show, who appreciate arts in education, have stepped in to save the day!!" says the performing arts center’s executive director, Richard Kuranda

.Replacing Richard Marx will be Jerry Lee & Friends: An Evening of The King, The Killer & Cash featuring Lance Lipinsky and Cody Slaughter and Adam Lee of the hit show Million Dollar Quartet!

Explore the origins of 1950's pumping piano Rock & Roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis in an exclusive, one night only concert starring Lance Lipinsky from the Chicago cast of "Million Dollar Quartet." This live performance showcases the roots of Western Swing and Rhythm & Blues that would ultimately create Rockabilly and later, Rock & Roll. Discover the sounds of Sun Records, hailed as the birthplace of Rock & Roll as we highlight special guests Cody Slaughter of the National Touring Cast of Million Dollar Quartet in a salute to Elvis Presley and Adam Lee honoring the Man In Black, Johnny Cash.

This is a benefit concert for Raue Center's educational programs and a great compliment to the rest of the conference that attracted national attention last year.
