Symphonic Sinatra performs live at the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center

ADA, Okla. - Symphonic Sinatra starring Brian Duprey and his live 13-piece orchestra will be performing at East Central University inside the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center, Oct. 18 at 7:30 p.m.

Symphonic Sinatra is the ultimate Frank Sinatra experience live in concert. Duprey captures the look, sound, and mannerisms of Sinatra while the orchestra recreates the lush strings and powerful horns of Sinatra's original recordings.

"We are excited to bring this level of talent to Ada and our surrounding communities," said Jamie Davis, Technical Director and Events Coordinator for HBFFAC."This is a show people will be talking about for a long time. Brian's amazing rendition of Sinatra is almost unbelievable by itself, but paired with a 13-piece professional orchestra, it's a must hear. Get your tickets today!"

As the lead actor in the hit musical, "The Rat Pack is Back," Duprey spent 10 years perfecting his craft in Las Vegas and in over 200 Performing Arts Centers and Casinos across the country. His lead role and creative development of the show built a 48 state tour and secured the title of "Best Tribute Show of Las Vegas" in 2014.

Duprey received his big break on FOX TV's "Performing As," where he won top prize by portraying his idol, Sinatra. Duprey has been featured on CSI Las Vegas, the History Channel, NBA All-Star Jam and the movie Get Him to the Greek. He also opened for the likes of Paul Anka and the cast of HBO's Sopranos.

Duprey now brings his award-winning, internationally recognized performance to ECU.

General admission is $25. ECU Staff and Faculty are $20.

ECU students and senior citizens are $15. All tickets are available at ecok.edu/hbffac-box-office.
