Dailey & Vincent Bluegrass Duo Taping Show for PBS at Hylton Performing Arts Center

MANASSAS, Va. — The rising star and Grammy-nominated bluegrass group Dailey & Vincent will be performing at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas on September 13 and 14, and will be filming the performance for broadcast on PBS.

The group has performed for the Hylton Center in the past, and this relationship led to the group’s decision to film their performance in Manassas.

“We’ve actually booked them here at the Hylton Center a few times and they’re delightful. And both times they’ve played here, they’ve said publicly, to the audience, ‘Hey we’d sure love to come back here and film a TV show,’ which initially took us by surprise, but then we said ‘Hey you know that’s not a bad idea,” said Rick Davis, the Hylton Center’s Executive Director, recalling how the idea for filming a performance came about.

Both of Dailey & Vincent’s performances at the Hylton Center on the 13 and 14 will be recorded for the PBS program.

“They’re bringing an entire television production crew. The Hylton Center is going to be transformed into the world’s most beautiful concert hall and TV studio. We’re building a set for them…it’s really going to be a huge TV production,” Davis said.

When filming and post-production is complete, which is slated for March of 2015, the program will air on PBS in Nashville, before being broadcast nationally. DVDS of the performance will also become available for sale.

For Davis, this opportunity for the venue is exciting for many reasons.

“The Hylton Center and all of its beauty will be visible to the entire country. It’s kind of a way of putting this region artistically on the map, which I think is what’s most exciting about it. To basically show the world what we’ve built here, what this community and what [George Mason] University built and to join those other great venues that you see on TV,” Davis commented.

To add a local element to the performance, Dailey & Vincent requested that local musical groups be included in the performances and filming.

“In the finale of the show, we’re going to feature the Manassas Chorale, and the George Mason University Singers, and the Mason School of Music. So not only will the world see the beautiful Hylton Center, but they’ll see our own people from the community and the university, and the partnership we look to celebrate,” Davis said.

Tickets are still available for these performances.
