Lakewood neighbor Ion Zanca is checking a goal off his list — producing his own concert through his music agency IMZ Artists.
“Christmas at the Winspear, a pop-rock holiday spectacular,” will take place at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 17 and feature two acts that Zanca founded, Dallas String Quartet and Q The Band. America’s Got Talent finalists Sons of Serendip, The Voice Australia winner Anja Nissen and Preston Center Dance Youth Choir will also be performing.
“I wanted to feature other people that I’ve been really impressed with their performances as artists, and I want Dallas to see them, too, because I think they’re incredible,” Zanca said. “I had these friends from America’s Got Talent, Sons of Serendip, that (are) just angelic. Their playing is out of this world.”
This is something that Zanca would like to see become an annual Dallas tradition.
“This year is very difficult because you start from scratch and nobody knows what to expect, and you have to advertise a concert that doesn’t exist yet,” he said.
Zanca is no stranger to putting on a show, but when he’s performed at concerts previously, he’s had to compromise his artistic vision with the capabilities of the venue he’s at. This time, he has full control over everything from lighting and sound to themes and storytelling. Taking on this role hasn’t been easy, but Zanca hopes the show is fun for the audience members.
Tickets to “Christmas at the Winspear” start at $55.35 and can be bought here.
