COURTLAND—The Franklin-Southampton Concert Association announces its line-up of five new acts plus a returning favorite for the 2014-2015 year.

Fernando Varela will start the season off on the proverbial high note when he takes to the stage and begins to sing. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Varela is a member of Forte, a three-man group that’s been making a name for itself. Independently, he performed on America’s Got Talent, and has been a winner in a contest sponsored by songwriter David Foster.

Valera will perform at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21.

Thanks as always are due to the Camp Foundation for sponsoring the holiday concert, which will be provided by the Virginia Symphony. The orchestra will perform seasonal favorites at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 17.

“Oh What a Night!” is a musical tribute to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. A quartet of singers will perform familiar hits such as “Can’t Keep My Eyes Off of You,” “Sherry,” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” to name a few. The performance begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 7.

The Virginia Children’s Chorus from the Hampton Roads region is made up of students from ages 6 to 18. Specifically, two groups are set to perform: The Concert Choir, directed by Carol T. Downing, and The Chamber Singers, led by Paul Putnam.

This show starts at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 1.

The ensemble Good Company has been invited to play at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 27.
