Oh, Night Divine: André Courville and Sweet Cecilia
Heymann Performing Arts Center, Lafayette, LA

What could be more divine than a night of Christmas and holiday music performed by international opera star André Courville and the Grammy-nominated high-harmony trio Sweet Cecilia? Courville, sisters Laura Huval and Maegan Berard, along with their first cousin Callie Guidry, bring their talents and their friendship to the stage. It’ll be a first ever for all of us, and them, too!

Cross That River
Heymann Performing Arts Center, Lafayette, LA

A quarter of the cowhands in the West were Black. A Harlem composer, Allan Harris, found a way to honor their history. Cross That River, a musical journey, tells the story of Blue, a run-away slave who escapes from Louisiana to Texas and becomes one of America’s first Black Cowboys. Cross That River portrays a significant moment in American history where Black cowboys lived and helped settle the West. PASA tips its hat to our area’s Black Cowboys and we hope you will, too.
