PineCone & the Town of Cary announce new
Sertoma Summer Series
Saturday, May 16 & Saturday, June 20, 2009
Performances at 3 p.m.
Sertoma Amphitheater, Bond Park
Cary, N.C.

PineCone announces the move of its free summer concert series from Lake Benson Park in Garner to the Sertoma Amphitheater in Cary’s Bond Park.

After more than 10 years of presenting a series of outdoor concerts that were free and open to the public at Garner’s Lake Benson Park, the Garner Parks and Recreation Department decided not to renew its contract with PineCone to co-produce these programs.

“PineCone is committed to continuing its free summer events,” said William Lewis, Executive Director of PineCone, “and we look forward to strengthening our partnership with the Town of Cary to maintain these programs for the community.”

The series kicked off on Saturday, May 16 with a performance by Chatham County Line, and it will continue on June 20 with National Heritage Fellowship recipient and Durham bluesman John Dee Holeman, who celebrates his 80th birthday this spring.

After Garner informed PineCone of their decision not to continue the partnership, Lewis proposed the series to the Town of Cary’s Cultural Arts Division, where it was met with enthusiasm.

Lyman Collins, Cultural Arts Manager for the Town of Cary, said, “We are excited to partner with PineCone to showcase the best in traditional music in a beautiful natural setting. Together we are able to ensure that Cary citizens and indeed the entire Triangle will be able to continue to enjoy great music.”
