SIUE Arts & Issues Begins the Holiday Season with Musician Peter Mayer

November 1, 2016, 3:19 PM

PeterMayerJust in time for the holiday season, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Arts & Issues will present Peter Mayer’s Stars and Promises 2016 – Wings of Angels at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1 in the Morris University Center Meridian Ballroom. 

Mayer is a celebrated guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, who is bringing his acclaimed Christmas concert to SIUE. Joining Mayer onstage will be an impressive ensemble of musicians who have also played for other popular artists and companies of the day: Chris Walters on piano (Bela Fleck, Alabama and J.D. Souther), Eric Darken on percussion (Taylor Swift and Bob Seger), Mark Holland on native flute (Autumn’s Child and Oregon), Zeb Briskovich on bass (Clark Terry, Grady Tate and The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra), Alicia Enstrom on violin and singer songwriter Brendan Mayer.

“Peter Mayer is an amazing guitarist, singer and songwriter, and he is bringing a world-class group of musicians along with him on this tour,” said Grant Andree, Arts & Issues director. “This concert will be a terrific way to kick off the holiday season.”

With his childhood years spent in India, his years in the PM band, years with Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer band, and performances with James Taylor, Don Henley, Ringo Starr and others, Mayer brings a vast palette of musical influences to the stage.

A striking stage production, beautiful lighting and pristine sound will put the finishing touches on this celebration of story and song.

The artist also uses his concerts to help raise funds for local communities where he performs. The Peter Mayer’s Stars and Promises concert series joins with local charities to raise needed monies for charitable work.  

General admission is $27 for adults and $25 for alumni, retirees, faculty, staff and $15 for non-SIUE students with school identification. SIUE students with valid identification are free, courtesy of SIUE’s Student Affairs. Discounted tickets are available for groups of 10 or more with an advanced order.

For tickets, visit the Morris University Center Welcome Desk, visit artsandissues.com or call 1-866-698-4253.

The Arts & Issues series brings artistic excellence to the SIUE campus through an eclectic blend of speakers and performers. For more than 33 years, SIUE’s Arts & Issues series has showcased some of the world’s finest artists. Each season, thought-provoking speakers inspire people of all ages and backgrounds. Thanks to the underwriting of SIUE, corporations, foundations and individual donors, tickets are often discounted as much as 50 percent.  

Arts & Issues is tied to the academic mission of the University and offers unique opportunities for students, faculty, staff and the community, to engage with performers and speakers through master classes and special sessions.
