Emile Pandolfi Christmas Show with Comedian James Sibley!
If you enjoy Christmas – or want to enjoy it more – you’ll have the opportunity to sit back and experience the wonders of the season as the Davie County Arts Council presents Emile Pandolfi at Christmas, a show filled with plenty of holiday music and laughter.  Mr. Pandolfi, a concert pianist known for his luxurious arrangements of Broadway and popular music, is in a class all his own.  His albums of popular show tunes and standards have sold millions of copies.  Although Pandolfi does a solo show during the year, at Christmas he collaborates with James Sibley, who’s down-home, friendly humor takes him all over the country as a stand-up comic.

“Pop-Sical” ~ Pure Entertainment!
In a recent telephone interview from his home in Greenville, South Carolina, Mr. Pandolfi said, “When I play it’s a mix of pop and classical; I like to call it ‘pop-sical.’ ”  The combination may look like “the odd couple”, but the result is pure entertainment!
