“This is an incredible moment for the staff, volunteers and artists that have poured their energies into AtG over the past 10 years. This partnership shows the continued possibilities that can exist between the large and smaller companies that make up our arts ecosystem,” Joel Ivany, Founder and Artistic Director of AtG, said in a press release.

The production will star Marcel D’entremont, Jonelle Sills, Clarence Frazer, and Danika Lorèn. Joel Ivany will directed while David Eliakis will be music director, accompanying the aritsts from the piano.
