On-board this time around as host and narrator is Captain Jim Kipping!  The concert marks is his second time in the role of emcee as he last joined the ensemble in 2007 for their “Epics” concert.

As rehearsals become more and more hectic, Patrick Phillips, AWS conductor had this to say about Kipping… “He’s a big music nut himself, and has a unique ability to engage the audience…  When he’s up there at the microphone the only thing I have to worry about is the music, the rest comes naturally.”

While you may not know what he looks like… Chances are you’ll NEVER forget his amazing voice!  He’s voiced everything from Pizza Hut commercials, and Geraldo at Large, to FOX news and thousands of other famous company’s including the spokesperson for NETFLIX.
