Co-presented with Samford University’s Orlean Bullard Beeson School of Education and Professional Studies, the March 25 show is titled “Garrison Keillor: A Brand-New Retrospective.” It is part of the annual Tom and Marla Corts Distinguished Authors Series and will start at 7 p.m.
The Keillor program is described as “A man at 70 relives the good times — and the music that brings it all back: hymns, jingles, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, pop tunes, limericks, rock ‘n roll, Beethoven, love sonnets, rags, blues, rousers, with Richard Dworsky, Rob Fisher and Christine DiGiallonardo.”
While it will not be a broadcast of “A Prairie Home Companion,” it will include some of the regular performers from his radio program.
Keillor has been honored with Grammy, ACE and George Foster Peabody awards and the National Humanities Medal.
