September 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium 

With more than 100 million album sales since 1965, Simon & Garfunkel's perfect harmonies and songs that poignantly captured the times made them one of the most successful folk-rock duos of all time. The Simon & Garfunkel Story is an immersive concert-style theater show chronicling their amazing journey from their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry, through their successes, and to their dramatic split in 1970. It culminates with the famous "The Concert in Central Park" reunion in 1981 with more than half a million fans in attendance. Using huge projection photos and original film footage, the show also features a full live band performing all of their hits, including Mrs. Robinson, Cecilia, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Homeward Bound, and many more. 

Tickets are $38/adults or $14/children HS and under and are available at tickets.csi.edu, by calling 732-6288, or at the CSI Fine Arts Center Box Office.
