Peter, Paul and Mary Return to Cal Poly Performing Arts Center March 23
SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Cal Poly Arts brings the legendary multi-Grammy-winning trio Peter, Paul and Mary back to Cal Poly Wednesday, March 23, for a special added Center Stage performance beginning at 8 p.m.
No American folk group has endured longer or had a more loyal following than Peter, Paul and Mary. For over four decades, they have been singing the praises of peace and freedom during turbulent times and bringing hope to countless fans worldwide.
This will be their third Cal Poly Arts engagement at the Christopher
Cohan Center.
“Peter, Paul & Mary are getting better with age,” states
Cal Poly Arts
director Ralph Hoskins. “Every show has been better than the last.”
Tickets are on sale now for an evening of new music and classic hits,
like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “If I Had a Hammer,”
“Leaving on a Jet
Plane,” “Puff (The Magic Dragon),” “Where Have
All the Flowers Gone,”
“500 Miles,” “Lemon Tree,” and “In the Early
Morning Rain.”
Dr. Martin Luther King’s widow, Coretta Scott King, sums up the
group’s
power: “Peter, Paul and Mary are not only three of the greatest
folk
artists ever, but also three of the performing arts’ most outstanding
champions of social justice and peace...Their compassion and commitment
remain as strong as their extraordinary artistry.”
Tickets for the Center Stage performance range from $56 - $76 and may
be
purchased at the Performing Arts Ticket Office, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
