‘Blockbusters to Broadway’

MOSES LAKE — The Central Basin Community Concert Association kicks off its 2025-26 season Thursday, with a performance by Jason Lyle Black’s Electric Trio. 

“He brings a wonderful variety from some classical to some rock,” said former CBCCA President Frances Irwin. “He brings just a great variety of music.” 

Black is an internationally acclaimed pianist, composer, bandleader, entertainer, speaker, and recording artist, according to his website, with more than 40 million music video views online. He’s headlined theaters in more than 30 states and has been a jury-selected artist at numerous national arts conferences, including Arts Northwest in Spokane. For the Moses Lake performance, he’ll be joined by a drummer and a bass player, Irwin said. 

Black’s show is called “From Blockbusters to Broadway: 100 Hits of Stage & Screen,” a fast-paced journey through 100 iconic musical hits from “Phantom of the Opera,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Les Miserables” and “Star Wars,” as well as music by Queen, AC/DC and more.  

Tickets are $30 for adults and $10 for students, with special rates for families as well as music students and teachers, according to the CBCCA website. Tickets are available through the CBCCA website, communityconcertsml.com. 

One of CBCCA’s goals is to bring its artists to schools and other outreaches, Irwin said, and the day after his Thursday evening show, Black will do one at Brookdale Hearthstone for homeschool children, she said. 

“We've done that one other time,” Irwin said. “It was a blessing for all. The children sit on the floor in front so they're up close to the artist (and) the artist is interacting with both groups of people. It was just a wonderful experience, and we're so grateful that we get to do that again.”
