   ]]> The Ventures http://www.beverlyartcenter.org/calendar.php#The Ventures At the BAC $40, $35 BAC Members
Run, don’t walk to get your tickets!
Just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Ventures featuring co-founders Bob Bogle and Don Wilson perform at the BAC.
The Ventures’ “Walk, Don’t Run” went to number 2 on Billboard's Singles Chart in 1960, and is one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s top 500 hits of all time.
Since the band’s spectacular beginning, The Ventures went on to define Instrumental Rock with high energy hits like “Hawaii Five-O,” “Secret Agent Man” and “Wipeout.”  Bogle on lead and bass guitar and Wilson on rhythm guitar started the band in 1958. They were later joined by the late Mel Taylor (who’s son Leon Taylor took his place in the band in 1996), Gerry McGee, Leon Taylor and Bob Spalding.

More than 49 years later -- with record sales approaching 100 million, 14 songs that hit the Singles Charts and 37 LPs that hit the Album Charts, their lineup remains solid and their style and sound are as pure and powerful as ever.  To check out photos of The Ventures at the 2008 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony Click Here ]]> 38th Annual BAPA Home Tour http://www.beverlyartcenter.org/calendar.php#38th Annual BAPA Home Tour At the BAC $25 in advance

  ]]> The Band's Visit http://www.beverlyartcenter.org/calendar.php#The Band's Visit At the BAC Subtitled.
Rated PG-13 for brief language
RT: 1:27

In an ocean of predictable movies, The Band's Visit is an island of bliss. When you see the advertising about the story of an Egyptian police band getting lost in Isreal, you're likely to roll the film instantly in your mind-conflict, hatred, perhaps some awkward humor, and a forced bit or two of vague optimism about the future. Forget all that, it's some other movie. This one is free and clear of anything set, routine, obvious, and predictable. The Band's Visit is about people-mostly awkward, all real and not about agenda, ideology or politics. It's an unsentimental "people movie" enormously likeable, a treasure house of humanism. Isreale's original Academy Award entry. ]]> BAC Spring Dance Concert http://www.beverlyartcenter.org/calendar.php#BAC Spring Dance Concert At the BAC Tickets available at the front desk.
