SPRINGFIELD – Jim Witter will return to the Clark State Performing Arts Center for the eighth consecutive year as headliner of the Richard and Barbara Kuss Memorial Concert. Witter’s show will begin at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 2, and feature “The Long and Winding Road – The Music of Lennon and McCartney” and the stories behind the songs.

“The most iconic music of our lives is even more interesting than just the lyrics we all know,” said Adele Adkins, executive director of the Clark State Performing Arts Center. “There are stories behind the music of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Jim Witter brings these fascinating stories to life.”

Among his many lifelong achievements, Richard Kuss was one of the first honorees of the Clark State Founder’s Award. After chairing a successful fundraising campaign for the College, the Kuss Auditorium at the Clark State Performing Arts Center was named in his honor.

Tickets are required for the Jim Witter concert, but are complimentary thanks to the show’s sponsor, the Carleton F. and Ruth Davidson Trust. Tickets are available at the Clark State Performing Arts Center Box Office in person or by calling 937-328-3874.
