Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) — The Coastal Arts Center of Orange Beach is bringing back its popular Acoustic Arts Series, giving residents several chances to enjoy live music in an intimate setting. The winter lineup features jazz, classical cello, and vocal harmonies. Organizers say the goal is to offer relaxed evenings close to home. All performances will take place at the art center on Canal Road.


The series begins Friday, January 23, with a 6 p.m. performance by the Gino Rosaria Trio titled “An Evening of Smooth Jazz.” Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., giving guests time to find seats and visit with friends before the show. The group is expected to set a laid‑back tone for the season’s concerts.


The music continues on Thursday, February 5, at 6 p.m., when cellist Della Grigsby performs “A Musical Odyssey Thru Time & Genres.” Her program will explore diverse musical styles, giving audiences a chance to hear how the cello fits into many traditions. Like the other events, doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for early arrivals.

The final scheduled performance in the current series will be held on Friday, February 13, at 6 p.m. That evening will feature Four A Change with a program titled “Lovenotes.” The group is expected to bring a mix of familiar tunes and harmonies to close out the concert series. Organizers say the show should offer a festive lead‑in to Valentine’s Day weekend.


All tickets for the Acoustic Arts Series are $20, which organizers say keeps the concerts affordable for families and regular concertgoers. Seating is limited inside the venue, so attendees are encouraged to secure their spots early. The smaller setting is designed to bring audiences close to the performers and create a personal concert experience.


Residents who want additional information or wish to reserve tickets can call 251‑981‑2787, also listed as ARTS. Tickets may also be purchased in person at the Coastal Arts Center, 26389 Canal Road, Orange Beach. Staff members there can answer questions about the schedule and seating. The center hopes the series will draw both locals and visitors to enjoy live music during the winter months.
