The Center for the Performing Arts held an intimate reception for those community members participating in the Center’s 2013 Encore Celebration Gala. The reception was held at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in Indianapolis. Michael Feinstein, a multi-platinum-selling, five-time Grammy-nominated recording artist and the Artistic Director of the CFTPA, expressed his gratitude to Carmel and its residents for embracing not only the Great American Songbook, but the arts as a whole. Last year’s Gala featured performances from Barry Manilow, Clay Aiken and more. For more information, visit www.thecenterfortheperformingarts.org. (Photos by Christian Sorrell)
