20 Aug “From Mozart to Motown” at the Imperial Theater
FEBRUARY 12 AND 13, 2027 at the Imperial Theater in Downtown Augusta, GA
“From Mozart to Motown” is a high-energy, tour de force performance by Broadway actor and Augusta native, Russell Joel Brown. Backed by a 7-piece band and 15-member high school student ensemble, these performances feature a multitude of different styles of music: classical, spirituals, Broadway, jazz, blues, country, African, R & B, rock, and gospel. A longstanding history of sold-out audiences since 2002 solidified the popularity of this Broadway spectacular that appeals to young and old alike.
An Augusta native, Russell Joel Brown is best known locally for his many sold-out “From Mozart to Motown” concerts, as well as his over a decade-long tour with The Lion King. A veteran actor, singer, and dancer Russell has performed on Broadway in “Smokey Joe’s Café”, “The Scarlet Pimpernel”, “Big River” and “Ain’t Misbehavin’”. He also sang as a featured guest at the funerals of Thurgood Marshall, Arthur Ashe, Cab Calloway, and Dizzy Gillespie.
