Christopher O'Riley - Carlisle Theatre Nov 19

Christopher O'Riley

CARLISLE THEATRE

Friday, November 19, 2010 8:00 PM

Ticket Prices: $37, $32, $27

Chistopher O’Riley: NPR Radio Host, PBS-TV Host and Classical Pianist Extrodinaire

As a prestigious artist, pianist and national media personality, Mr. O'Riley has dazzled the world over on stage, the radio, TV and his records. His memorable interpretations of traditional and popular repertoire make him a cherished bridge between musical tastes, genres and audiences worldwide.

Mr. O’Riley’s exquisite and poetic interpretations have granted him phenomenal reviews and several recording contracts with labels like Sony Classical. His warm personality has brought him to host NPR’s “From the Top” for the last 10 years. Christopher O’Riley differs from other artists in two ways:

-- First, his repertoire spans classical styles, from Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel and Busoni to contemporary artists such as Radiohead, Nirvana, Pink Floyd and Elliott Smith. He is the definition of a Classical Crossover artist.

--Second, O’Riley 's unique, passionate and heartfelt piano interpretations of both classical and popular music create unforgettable musical performances and astonishing audience experiences. His most famous recording, Radiohead “True Love Waits” album, was awarded four stars in Rolling Stone magazine, but more importantly, it has also created a dedicated and diverse fan base that appeals to all ages, uniting them through music.

We still have rooms available at the Carlisle House on this Friday! Come enjoy dinner at one of Carlisle's wonderful restaurants, the concert at the theatre just 2 blocks away and a luxurious night at the Award Winning Carlisle House Bed & Breakfast.

The Beatles are Coming!! to Carlisle PA

The Beatles are Coming to the Carlisle Theatre!!
October 2 at 8pm

Click HERE for tickets!

Click HERE for a wonderful weekend at the Carlisle House B&B just 2 blocks from the theatre.

RELIVE THE MAGIC….LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!

By the fall of 1978, Long Live The Beatles growing reputation and a sold out show for 10,000 people at Six Flags Great Adventure brought the brothers to the attention of the producers of the Broadway Production Beatlemania. The producers were blown away by the brothers’ attention to detail, including right-handed guitarist Tim who had recently taught himself to play bass left-handed to accurately portray Paul McCartney. An offer was made to Brian and Tim to audition for the roles of John Lennon and Paul McCartney respectively. The brothers “passed the audition” and soon began daily rehearsals on Broadway for their debut on the “White Way”.

While Tim and Brian were still in rehearsals in 1979, Beatlemania closed on Broadway. But the brothers wasted no time and secured themselves a multi-year deal for Long Live The Beatles with Six Flags Entertainment, enlisting youngest brother Mike on the drums as “Ringo” along the way. The show was performed for an estimated three million people at the Six Flags parks from 1979-1984.

The brothers would also reach another milestone during this period becoming the first Beatles tribute band to recreate a Beatles concert at a major league baseball stadium, performing for more than 37,000 rock n' roll and baseball fans at Philadelphia’s Veterans Stadium in 1980.

Dickinson is back in Carlisle PA

VISITING DICKINSON COLLEGE IN
CARLISLE PA!

The Dickinson campus is full once again and we had many Freshman families including some from Taiwan and France with us for the Orientation week. The end of August mingled Corvette fans and upperclassman families for a wonderful mix of friendships and conversation.

The Carlisle House is just 4 blocks from the campus and is Top-rated in Pennsylvania by TripAdvisor.com which is based solely on our guests' reviews.

So if you are planning to visit Dickinson with a prospective student, or for one of the many sports events during the year, give yourself a break from a typical chain hotel and come and be "totally charmed by this inn, by owners Mary and Alan, by the Colonial town of Carlisle, and by Dickinson College. ".

Carlisle House - Breakfast in the Dark

Early this morning, the south end of town had a 2 hour power outage and for the first time in 6 years, we served breakfast in the dark...well almost! We had a wonderful group of prospective Dickinson College families and they were great sports about the whole situation.

Alan had the grill started to finish off the quiches, the muffins baked in the residual oven heat...about twice as long as normal and we made coffee the old fashioned way...boiling water on the gas stove (match lit) poured through the coffee. All our guests had a delicious Carlisle House breakfast...as usual...almost!

We can handle it all...yet another reason why we are the TRIPADVISOR #1 B&B in PA. Come stay at the Carlisle House Bed & Breakfast and experience our hospitality.
