McCartney tribute show benefits Project Fibonacci

Posted

ROME — Singer, recording artist and “Beatlemania” Broadway legend Tony Kishman will perform his Live and Let Die: A Symphonic Tribute to Paul McCartney concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Capitol Theatre, 230 W. Dominick St.

The show is a benefit for the Project Fibonacci Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to STEM plus Arts (STEAM) leadership education with an entrepreneurial focus to grow the STEM workforce.

Kishman has been performing his award-winning show around the globe for several decades spotlighting one of the most influential songwriters and singers of the best-known band of all time. His show brings the music and the magic of both the Beatles and McCartney to a new generation, earning raves by Beatlemaniacs for his uncanny resemblance both visually and vocally to the beloved Beatle, who recently turned 80.

He will perform for 90 minutes, spanning McCartney’s music from his days with the Beatles, Wings and his solo career.

A former Roman until recently, Kishman was aware of the foundation’s charitable mission and its positive impact on youth STEAM education for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) workforce preparedness. He wanted to become involved in the foundation’s work and offered to perform at a benefit concert where all proceeds from ticket sales would go in support of its youth projects particularly, on behalf of launching the Multiversity of Science, Art and Technology (MOSART) Center coming to downtown Rome in 2023.

MOSART will be a hub for art- and science-themed exhibits, events and activities consistent with the Foundation’s mission, to introduce youth to a culture of interdisciplinary, interactive STEAM learning, teaching them to become creative, independent leaders of community resurgence.

Tickets are $27 for general seating and $37 for premium seating and can be purchased at the Rome Capitol Theatre box office or at www.romecapitol.com/movie/live-let-die-a-symphonic-tribute-to-mccartney for online ticket orders and seat selections. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. and the concert starts at 7 p.m.
