Please join us for three free organ concerts live from The Lerner Theatre stage. \nCelia Weiss is one of few musical artists who hold the enviable record of having served as a soloist on two different musical instruments. A pianist and organist well known to local audiences\, the artist has appeared on numerous occasions with the Elkhart County Symphony Orchestra\, the South Bend Symphony Orchestra\, the IUSB Philharmonic\, the Manchester University Symphony Orchestra\, and in recitals throughout the area. \nMrs. Weiss is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Music at IUSB for the Raclin School of the Arts where she teaches organ. She is a past recipient of the IUSB Merit Status and Outstanding Alumni Awards. She holds a B.M.E from Manchester College and a M.M. in Piano from Indiana University. An educator as well as a performer\, she has taught music in the Elkhart and Goshen Community Schools and piano at Goshen College. Since 1975 she has held the position of Director of Music and Organist for the First Presbyterian Church in Elkhart. She is a frequent accompanist for the Elkhart County Symphony Orchestra and performs several piano and organ concerts for the Lerner Theatre’s “Lunchtime Live!” each year. \nThe 1924 Kimball pipe organ located in Elkhart\, Indiana’s Lerner Theatre is one of only three Kimball pipe organs currently installed in its original location. The organ was restored following the 2011 renovation of the theatre which opened on Thanksgiving Day\, 1924. After the restoration\, a crew of nearly 20 from Bunn-Minnick Pipe Organs of Columbus\, Ohio\, spent three weeks hoisting equipment and filling the two pipe chambers with more than 1\,000 pipes. The project absorbed nearly 10\,000 man-hours for the crew over a year. \n \n \n \n \n \n Presented by Friends of The Lerner.

One night\, over a glass of wine and many tears of frustration\, these two friends decided to tell different kind of story. With a camera\, two husbands\, a babysitter\, and bottomless mimosas\, Kristin and Jen decided to speak openly about their fears and failures and prove that the only way to survive motherhood is through laughter and friendship. Good thing because\, while shooting the first video for the series\, Jen forgot her newborn daughter’s name. The video was a smash hit\, sparking an online community of 2 million of the most engaged followers that social media has ever seen\, confirmation that moms and women everywhere needed to laugh and to be heard. Kristin and Jen followed up with weekly videos about all things woman and mother: hemorrhoids\, nipple hair\, sex after marriage\, mom bods\, spanks\, wedding dresses\, and swimsuits. (Yes\, they wore them on camera). Both women write and produce the #IMSH series with a common goal: Maybe we can make you feel better about the job you’re doing if you see the terrible job we’re doing. The videos have received nearly 300 million views worldwide in just 5 years. The phenomenon that Kristin and Jen created has since been nabbed for development by Warner Brothers TV\, reality TV and film. The comedians have sold-out three national tours\, written a New York Times Best Selling book\, landed branded deals with Fortune 100 companies such as Wal-Mart and Uni-Lever\, and taped a standup comedy special for Amazon Prime Video\, launching the network’s first standup comedy platform. They have recently premiered their weekly podcast and a children’s book series with Harper Collins.

The Guess Who is best known internationally for its 1970 album\, American Woman\, which hit number one in Canada and number nine in the United States\, with five other albums also hitting the top ten in Canada. Their fan base spans multiple generations. Very few bands have survived numerous member changes — let alone having smash hits with each lineup — but The Guess Who’s motto is “the music is the message.” \nThe most recent and up-to-date version of the band has mastered a wildly entertaining romp through the early hits mixed in with their current creations\, while managing to take the whole experience to a new level. Their most recent musical offering is stunningly sophisticated\, searingly emotional\, and musically eclectic\, while remaining eminently singalongable. Their live show is a celebration of life\, being alive\, and thriving in these uncertain times. The Guess Who never leave anything less than their hearts on the stage at the end of every performance. \nThe Guess Who is:Garry PetersonDerek SharpMichael DevinLeonard ShawMichael Staertow \n \n Get Tickets URL:https://thelerner.com/event/the-guess-who/ LOCATION:The Lerner Theatre\, 410 South Main Street\, Elkhart\, IN\, 46516\, United States CATEGORIES:Concert END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20231028T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20231028T200000 DTSTAMP:20261023T010003 CREATED:20230128T010033Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231009T172405Z UID:10000037-1698523200-1698523200@thelerner.com SUMMARY:EagleMania - The World's Greatest Tribute to the Eagles - Featuring Tony-Nominated Constantine Maroulis DESCRIPTION:EagleMania has been dazzling audiences for over a decade by spectacularly reproducing the music of the Eagles.

The band’s 2019 five song EP\, Tragedy Of Physics\, co-produced by Nikki and long-time friend and collaborator\, Grammy-winning Isha Erskine (Ziggy Marley\, The Black Eyed Peas)\, garnered international attention: The music video for the angsty-beautiful piano ballad “Liar” premiered on Radio Disney platforms and received a nomination for Best Independent Music Video from the esteemed Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The song was included in an emotional scene in the motion picture\, High Strung: Free Dance and subsequently generated a flood of streams and downloads via the film’s soundtrack. Starring Thomas Doherty (Disney’s Descendants 2 and 3)\, and Jane Seymour\, the film was released on Netflix on May 31st\, 2020 and prominently features “Liar” in an emotional\, groundbreaking dance sequence choreographed by Tyce Diorio (So You Think You Can Dance\, Taylor Swift’s ‘ME!’) \nHooked Like Helen is the recent recipient of several prestigious accolades in the independent music scene: Nikki and Jon were honored with Duo Of The Year and EP Of The Year at the 6th and 7th annual Josie Music Awards respectively\, boasting a total of 9 nominations in multiple categories of the largest independent award show in the world. “Liar” was recently named a winner in the distinguished International Songwriting Competition for the second consecutive year\, following wins in two categories in ISC’s sister competition\, Unsigned Only in 2020. The panel of judges included Charli XCX\, Robert Smith and Grouplove among other well-respected industry legends. \nHooked Like Helen’s Tragedy Of Physics EP has been decorated with acclaim by several leading music publications. The first single\, “No Turning Back”\, was premiered by CLASH Magazine who praised it as “a soaring\, vastly uplifting piece of bouncy\, addictive alt-pop”. The EP’s 2nd single\, “Tear This Place Apart”\, premiered via the highly influential UK-based The Line Of Best Fit and received rave reviews from the magazine. \nNikki and Jon have managed to flourish musically during a period of instability in the world and the band is incredibly humbled and grateful to be thriving. 2020 began with a set of custom musical placements in the wildly popular\, 3 time Emmy winning Netflix docu-series\, CHEER. Nikki composed tracks for 9 pivotal scenes across the 6 episode series\, including the final credits for episodes 2 and 3. The 2021 Sports Emmy-nominated docu-series\, Golden: The Journey of USA’s Elite Gymnasts  features 7 pieces of music composed by Nikki\, courtesy of her working relationship with BMG. Hooked Like Helen has a bit of a history of scoring music for docu-series’; previously\, the band’s tracks “Get Well”\, “Surface Break”\, and “Concrete Tub” were placed on MTV’s Unlocking The Truth and were included on the show’s official Spotify playlist. “Surface Break” was also featured in the emotional final segment of Davis Guggenheim’s poignant documentary\, The Dream Is Now which chronicles the struggles of the children of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. \nThe band enjoyed several very successful live residencies at world-renowned Cedar Point in 2020 and 2021\, performing for a diverse and international audience who immediately adored Hooked Like Helen’s universal musical appeal and dynamic\, energetic stage show. Other notable performances include a set at the beautiful 1700 seat Lerner Theatre in Elkhart Indiana this past summer in which the band wowed a local audience during a community Artwalk Festival.  In May 2020\, during the first chapter of the COVID pandemic\, the duo had the privilege of playing a livestream from the historic 1500 seat Sandusky State Theatre. This show was broadcast to local fans via the Sandusky Register and became the last live performance to occur on the Sandusky State Theatre stage before the iconic venue was severely damaged in a storm on June 10th. Fox 8 News Cleveland aired clips from the Hooked Like Helen livestream on June 12th\, 2020. \nHooked Like Helen recently signed with international booking agency\, TKO (The Ataris\, Soul Asylum). The band is currently collaborating with several talented and well-established producers in Music City including the multi GRAMMY award-winning\, platinum-selling Skidd Mills and the brilliant Noah Henson (Pillar\, Brantley Gilbert). The band’s new single\, “Streamers & Balloons” was released on October 28th and their cover of “Winter” by Tori Amos premiered on Cleveland Scene Magazine on January 6th. \nHooked Like Helen’s sound embodies a unique vein of alternative music; dark lyrical themes of unresolved trauma and existential pondering provide a refreshingly authentic perspective. The rawness of Nikki’s voice pulls the listener through heavy subject matter on a vessel of commercially friendly sonic sensibilities. This stark juxtaposition of darkness and light creates a sort of musical chemical reaction that lingers on the mind long after the first listen. A lush universe of layered harmonies and intricately woven polyphony carry us through a chaotic and sad world view but leave us almost inexplicably with a sense of hope. The songs of Hooked Like Helen exist in a timeless\, ageless vacuum in which melody reigns supreme.

The organ was restored following the 2011 renovation of the theatre which opened on Thanksgiving Day\, 1924. After the restoration\, a crew of nearly 20 from Bunn-Minnick Pipe Organs of Columbus\, Ohio\, spent three weeks hoisting equipment and filling the two pipe chambers with more than 1\,000 pipes. The project absorbed nearly 10\,000 man-hours for the crew over a year. \n \n \n \n \n \n Presented by Friends of The Lerner.
