What a marvelous finish for 2023 FestivalSouth--Iconic, a cirque rock symphonic extravaganza. Amazing acrobatic acts along with chart-topping songs from the last four decades, such as Aerosmith, Earth Wind and fire, Michael Jackson, Led Zepplin, and others. I had never even been to a rock concert, much less sung with a chorus (Meistersingers) behind an orchestra! All these pictures were taken during dress rehearsal.

Earlier there were nights of Broadway tunes called Spectacular Spectacular, Bee(r)thoven concert with beer and wine pairings, Odd Couples (guitar with other instruments), and coffee concerts plus other events that I missed.

My exhibit, FestivalFibers, has had a good reception and is being held over an additional week through the end of June, at University Baptist Church. It has been a wonderful three weeks of entertainment, and I'm already looking forward to June of 2024. Mike Lopinto and his crew put on an amazing festival in Hattiesburg. I'm so glad I live here!
