With his music videos having Internet views exceeding 200 million and solo concert bookings in every corner of the globe, Luca Stricagnoli is considered to be one of the most unique guitarists in the world. Luca’s creative style, which led him to invent instruments like the Reversed Triple Neck Guitar and the Reversed Slide Neck, vastly contributed to the modern evolution of acoustic guitar.

He has been hailed as a phenomenon and a prodigy by influential magazines and newspapers internationally including NME, Guitar World, Der Spiegel, La Repubblica, Daily Sabah, Frankfurter Allgemeine and more.

New Bern Civic Theatre is honored and proud to welcome Luca back for his second concert appearance with NBCT, this time center stage on the historic Athens Theatre.

This event will be fun for all ages! If you or someone you know is a fan of United States, North Carolina, or military history, this event will be the perfect way to spend your Saturday. Come celebrate and learn about some of the many military groups throughout history at the North Carolina History Center. Several military reenactment units from Tryon Palace and across the state will be onsite representing military history from the Revolutionary War through World War II.

Expect lots of fun as you test your sleuthing skills in this fifth annual family friendly outdoor history hunt! On Saturday Sept 20 starting at 10am, teams will gather at New Bern Battlefield Park to receive their clues to a series of quests. Hop in your car and follow the clues to find historical places in and around New Bern. In this fifth year of this event, you’ll find a whole new slate of clues and places to discover. You’ll be amazed at what you’ll learn about our past! Teams can start any time after 10am but must start no later than 1 pm.
Those who complete all the quests by 4:00pm will be eligible for both prizes and bragging rights. Put on your Clever hat because there will also be a prize for the best team name!
Gather your teams and join the fun! They can be family, both adults and children; friends and co-workers; or other teams you may belong to. We wonder who has the best sleuthing skills -- your office team, the dentist office team, the Police Department, or the Fire Department? The Smiths or the Joneses?
Each team may have up to 6 people, that’s adults or children. They’ll travel in one vehicle. Smart phone use is allowed. In fact, you may use any source for information, smart phone, library, or favorite Aunt.
