Nostalgia-inducing unforgettable hits! The internationally acclaimed hit show “The Simon & Garfunkel Story� is bringing its national tour to the Givens Performing Arts Center on the campus of UNC Pembroke on March 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets range from $35 to $45, with children's tickets available for $18.

This immersive concert-style show brings to life the unforgettable music and inspiring journey of the GRAMMY-award-winning folk-rock duo Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. From their humble beginnings as Tom & Jerry to their meteoric rise as one of the best-selling music duos of the '60s, the show chronicles their legendary career — culminating in their historic “Concert in Central Park� reunion in 1981, where more than 500,000 fans gathered to witness the magic.

Featuring a full live band, breathtaking harmonies and stunning visuals — including state-of-the-art projection, photos and original film footage — this show is a must-see for music lovers of all ages. Audiences will be transported back in time with nearly 30 iconic hits, including:

  • Mrs. Robinson
  • Cecilia
  • Bridge Over Troubled Water
  • Homeward Bound
  • The Sound of Silence

With more than 100 million albums sold, 10 Grammy Awards and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Simon & Garfunkel's poetic lyrics and timeless sound made them one of the most influential folk-rock duos of all time. Their legendary “Bridge Over Troubled Water� album won Best International Album at the Brit Awards, and in 2003, they received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
