Another great season of Live! at Dowling Park has concluded. We are so thankful to all of the great performers, attendees, and supporters! Next season is almost all scheduled, but as usual, we’ll take a few months off and reveal the next exciting line up at the end of the summer. Stay tuned!
Flamenco dancer Esther Suarez and guitarist José Moreno invite you to join them for an unforgettable night of impressive guitar playing, captivating singing, and mesmerizing dancing. Esther and José are excited to once again bring some Spanish culture to Dowling Park.
The San Marco Chamber Music Society was founded in 2008 after performing in an annual benefit concert for diabetes research in San Marco, a neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. A majority of the chamber are full-time musicians in the Jacksonville Symphony. They spend the time practicing and performing as the San Marco Chamber Music Society to share their passion for music with people who don’t get the chance to attend symphony concerts.

The year is 1963, and C.S. Lewis, the now-famous British author, is in the twilight years of his life. Lewis is in his element as he hosts a group of American writers at his home just outside Oxford, telling them the stories of his associations, his writing, his family, his faith, and his great love for his late wife, Joy. Actor David Payne captures the essence of the man who created the Narnia Chronicles in an enthralling, laughter-filled and poignant performance. Artist’s website.
From the sounds of grand opera to the stages of Southern Gospel, Grammy winner Larry Ford has found audiences responding to his commanding voice. Larry’s facility with language has made it possible for him to carry his message in song to more than 30 foreign countries. Because of this passion, he has been described as “gospel music’s ambassador to the world.” Artist’s website.
At the age of nine, Alan Curtis Tripp began studying piano under the teaching of his grandmother. At age 13, he studied with a concert pianist in Florida. By age 14, he was presenting full piano concerts. He has spent much of his adult life as a self-employed concert pianist, performing in Canada, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, France, Ireland, Morocco, and throughout 45 U.S. states including Alaska. In addition to performing live, he spends much of his time arranging and composing original music. Artist’s website.

Throughout a public life that spanned many decades, even though Eleanor Roosevelt was never elected to office, she wielded the power of words. Actress Susan Marie Frontczak brings the iconic “ER” to life, analyzing the words that influenced her, words that rallied the country in the past, and words that can inspire us all today. Artist’s website.
Tim Zimmerman and The King’s Brass will once again present hymn classics with a contemporary flair at ACV. The King’s Brass is comprised of professional musicians from across the country who desire to use the instruments they love to lead others in praise. Each concert is a time of innovative worship.

Just as it was in the legendary Glenn Miller’s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra is the most sought-after big band in the world today. The 18-member ensemble plays not only many of the original Miller arrangements, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound. Artist’s website.
“The Long Steel Rail in America” explores the development of the American railroad system as one of the most important phenomena of the Industrial Revolution. It brought forth profound social, economic and political change to our young country. Through songs and stories, Bobby Horton celebrates the American railroad. Artist’s website.
Due to a medical emergency, our scheduled performers, The Merling Trio, had to cancel. Advent Christian Village is grateful to Ms. Votapek and Ms. Nam for their willingness to perform last minute. The talented musicians are both students at Florida State University.
