Artist Series pros calling CU musicians to the stageFor nearly eight decades, the Artist Series has brought some of the world’s top musicians, dancers, theater troupes and personalities to Boulder’s doorstep.

Hundreds of artists, from poet Carl Sandburg in 1939, to Paul Robeson as Othello and the Trapp Family Singers of “Sound of Music” fame in the 1940s, conductor and violinist Isaac Stern in 1970 and Ladysmith Black Mambazo and MOMIX in the 21st century have graced the stage at Macky Auditorium.

And in recent years, some have specifically requested that CU-Boulder College of Music students join them in creating an evening of scintillating entertainment.

This year, eight musicians will play Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn for the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company’s Play and Play on Jan. 22. And on April 2, the CU Symphony Orchestra will accompany platinum-selling alt-rock sensation Natalie Merchant in a performance of her songs.

“Any time you get to collaborate across the arts it’s a worthwhile and exciting opportunity,” says Zachary Reaves, cellist for the graduate-student ensemble Altius Quartet, which will play Jan. 22. “And it’s really great to see a dance company using live music; a lot of them don’t these days.”

Playing with top-notch acts before a large audience can also be a valuable experience for students who hope to perform professionally after graduation.

“Much of the work our students will do as professional musicians will be in the popular-commercial genre. It is increasingly important for our students to be comfortable and conversant with various styles, beyond traditional classical music,” says Gary Lewis, director of orchestral studies. “This opportunity will be invaluable to them and it will be great fun to collaborate with such a wonderful artist as Natalie Merchant.”

To buy tickets for Natalie Merchant with the CU Symphony Orchestra on April 2 go to cupresents.org or call 303-492-8008.

2014-15 Calendar

The Artist Series presents the world’s finest performers in classical music, jazz, theater, dance and world music in majestic Macky Auditorium.

For detailed information and tickets, go to cupresents.org.

BILL T. JONES/ ARNIE ZANE DANCE COMPANYPlay and PlayThursday, Jan. 22, 2015, 7:30 p.m.Choreographed to some of the world’s best-loved and most seminal works of classical music—Mozart, Ravel, Schubert—and performed with live musicians, Bill T. Jones’ astonishingly original, muscular work, Play and Play, is dance like you’ve never seen it before. Winner of two Tony Awards and recipient of a MacArthur “genius” grant, Jones has continually expanded the possibilities of dance.Sponsored by James & Associates.

MEDESKI, MARTIN AND WOOD with ALARM WILL SOUNDFriday, Feb. 6, 2015, 7:30 p.m.Get ready for incomparable originality, a little jamming and a lot of fun when the hip, cutting-edge chamber music of Alarm Will

Sound melds with the eclectic avant-jazz-funk sound of Medeski, Martin and Wood. The groove-oriented trio, a hit on the jam-band circuit pioneered by the Grateful Dead, and the versatile new-music ensemble will take you on an evening of daring collaboration and thrilling improvisation.

THE ASSAD BROTHERS with ROMERO LUBAMBOThursday, Feb. 19, 2015, 7:30 p.m.Exotic Latin flair takes the stage when the Assad Brothers, Brazil’s most celebrated classical guitarists, join with jazz guitar virtuoso Romero Lubambo for Samba Exótico, an exploration of Samba and Choros, a popular 19th-century genre that blossomed in Rio de Janeiro. With its roots in Africa and unique fermentation in the coastal city of Bahia, Samba vibrates with the essence of Brazil.Sponsored by Shaw Construction and partnered by HB Woodsongs.

NATALIE MERCHANT with THE CU SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAThursday, April 2, 2015, 7:30 p.m.

Over her stellar 30-year career, Natalie Merchant has been the driving force behind alt-pop sensation 10,000 Maniacs and embarked on a multi-platinum solo career, always delving deep into the human condition with her lyrical storytelling. Now

she brings that same searching literary sensibility and her distinctive vocal style to new heights in a performance of her music, old and new, arranged for orchestra.Sponsored by Hurdle’s Jewelry.

Wide-ranging repertoire, lavish scenery, drama and amazing voices—CU Opera has it all. Director Leigh Holman and Music Director Nicholas Carthy showcase the talent of the future in three

productions each season. Go to cupresents.org for detailed ticket information and times.

COSÌ FAN TUTTEBy Wolfgang Amadeus MozartMarch 13-15, Macky AuditoriumMozart’s witty opera buffa follows 24 hours in the lives of two beautiful sisters whose scandalous infidelities make for a comic romp that was considered too hot for audiences even in the early 20th century. Featuring some of the composer’s most sumptuous arias, duets, this production will be set in the late 1950s with a nod to the famous film, Pillow Talk. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.

L’INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA(THE CORONATION OF POPPEA)By Claudio MonteverdiApril 23-26 Music Theatre, Imig Music BuildingMonteverdi’s drama about sex, crime and realpolitik during the debauched reign of the Roman Emperor Nero, turns conventional morality on its head—virtue is punished and greed rewarded. The score soars but the sensual duet between Nero and his lover—eventually wife—Poppea, Pur ti miro, pur ti godo—meaning, “I gaze at you, I possess you”—is the pièce de résistance. Sung in Italian with English surtitles. This production will be styled after the hit Netflix realpolitik series House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey.

TARTUFFE By MolièreTranslated by Christopher HamptonDirected by Lynn NicholsFeb. 13-22, University TheatreFrench playwright Molière’s comic masterpiece skewers religious hypocrisy, mindless piety and sexual deceit. It was so daring at the time of its writing that audience members could be excommunicated for seeing it. Tartuffe tells how a “man of the cloth” worms his way into the gullible heart of Orgon, a rich family man, and tries to take him for all he has. It takes a desperate trap by Orgon’s wife Elmire to expose the imposter.

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTARLyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Directed by Cecilia PangApril 10-19, University TheatreEver since the controversial rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice was

released as a concept album in 1970, it has enflamed the passions of critics and fans alike. The story of Jesus of Nazareth during his final days, from the time of his arrival in Jerusalem to his crucifixion, this high-energy, immensely popular show plunges deep into the hearts of the men and women, from Judas Iscariot to Mary Magdalene to Pontius Pilate, who played a part in one of the most momentous stories ever told.

THE CURRENTApril 17-19Charlotte York Irey TheatreA showcase of vital new works by CU dance faculty and Millicent Johnnie, the 2014-15 Roser Guest Artist in Dance. Johnnie has performed with Urban Bush Women, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and choreographed for Grammy Award-winning artists Usher Raymond, Chrisette Michele and Los Hombres Calientes, and record labels Def Jam, Columbia, Interscope, Arista Records and others.

Tomorrow’s talent is onstage today with a wide variety of performances from CU students and faculty. For detailed ticket and event information go to www.colorado.edu/theatredance.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHINGDirected by Jim Helsinger, Orlando Shakespeare TheaterJune 5-Aug. 9Mary Rippon Outdoor TheatreRomantic, raucous and razor-sharp, the Hamlet of Shakespeare comedies strikes hilarious chords even as it reveals timeless truths about love, change and acceptance. The men have returned victorious from war, but the merry sparring — and sparks — between Benedick the stubborn bachelor and witty, self-assured Beatrice have just begun.

WITTENBERGDirected by CSF Producing Artistic Director Timothy OrrJune 11-Aug. 8 (Colorado premier)University TheatreTo believe or not to believe? That is the question when Prince Hamlet, a dazed-and-confused senior at Wittenberg University, circa 1517, is caught in the crossfire between two giants

of philosophy — and ego — the freethinking skeptic Dr. Faustus and stuffy, guilt-ridden Martin Luther. Punny, funny, brainy and zany, David Davalos’ ingenious mashup is equal parts Tom Stoppard, campus caper and metaphysical mind-trip.

OTHELLODirected by Lisa Wolpe, Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Co.June 26-Aug. 8Mary Rippon Outdoor TheatreIn a country at war, Othello the Moor commands with authority and nobility of spirit, drawing strength from his bold and beautiful wife, Desdemona. But he has placed his trust in one of Shakespeare’s most sinister villains, Iago, who would sow seeds of doubt and destruction in the garden of their love. Passion, jealousy and murder explode in a sexy theatrical thriller that tumbles toward a diabolical finale

HENRY VDirected by Carolyn Howarth, director of CSF’s 2014 Henry IV, Part 1July 16-Aug. 9, University TheatreEngland’s crown rests on the head of the once wild and undisciplined acolyte of Falstaff, Prince Hal, now a wise and noble monarch leading his country into war with France. Rousing and cinematic in scope, Henry V raises compelling questions about leadership in a troubled world that powerfully echoes our own. With this production, CSF completes the four-play Henriad history cycle begun in 2013.

HENRY VI, PART 1 Aug. 2 and 5 , University TheatreBack by popular demand, CSF presents two exclusive, “original practices” performances of the rarely produced saga of Henry V’s son. Last seen onstage at CSF in 1967, the play features one of Shakespeare’s most intriguing females, Joan of Arc. Both 2014 “OP” shows sold out, so buy your tickets early!

The nation’s second-oldest Shakespeare festival raises the curtain June 5 for its exciting 2015 season. CSF is a unique Boulder experience you won’t want to miss — magic, mirth, mayhem … and mountains. Go to coloradoshakes.org for more information and tickets.

CU guitar festival strikes a global chord In just over three years, Nicolò Spera has put CU-Boulder on the map as a true global mecca for classical-guitar teaching, performance and competi-tion.

When he arrived in 2011 to launch the College of Music’s classical-guitar program, the renowned Italian performer defied conventional wisdom on easing into a new job and launched plans to host a guitar festival and competi-tion on campus.

“It was one of my big-gest dreams,” says Spera, assistant professor in the Ritter Family Classical Guitar program, “but I knew it would take a long time. Often when you launch something new it doesn’t work. You hope it does more or less well and hope to have a second one.”

As it turns out, there was no need to fret. The CU International Guitar Fes-tival debuted in February 2013, attracting 41 top performers from around the world, including China, Serbia and Latin America. The winners took home thousands of dollars in prizes and returned to Boulder in 2014 to teach and perform.

The second bi-annual festival will take place Feb. 19-21, featuring compe-tition among 40 to 50 of the world’s most talented guitarists, as well as master

classes and performances by Brazil’s Assad Brothers — “(T)he best two-guitar team in existence, maybe even in history,” according to the Washington Post — the Italian SoloDuo and Nigel North, hailed as “the greatest lute player of all time” by England’s Birming-ham Post.

“Basically, we have the two greatest classical guitar duos in the world, the Assad Brothers, the greatest of the 20th century, and SoloDuo, representing the future,” Spera says. “I am so grateful and ecstatic for the fantastic collaboration with the Artist Series and Macky Auditorium, which bring to Colorado the greatest artists in the world.”

All events are free except for the Artist Series performance by the Assad Brothers and Brazilian jazz virtuoso Romero Lubambo at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 in Macky Auditorium. For tickets, go to cupresents.org or call 303-492-8008.

The guitar festival is supported by grants from the Roser Visiting Artist Program and the CU President’s Fund for the Humanities as well as private donations. Spera’s success recently inspired CU-Boulder alumni Michele “Mikhy” and Mike Ritter to endow the classical-guitar program.

ABOUT THE EKLUND FAMILY OPERA PROGRAMRecognizing the importance of the arts and live-vocal performance in an increasingly distracted world, long-time Boulder resident Paul Eklund made a generous gift in October to help establish a $2 million endowment at the CU-Boulder College of Music. Funding from the endowment will help support three opera productions each academic year, the CU New Opera Workshop and an opera-scenes program for new students.

STEPS IN STONE, WALKING THROUGH TIME

The movements of animals across the landscape are captured in the tracks they leave behind. Some tracks last only a few moments and others become fossils that

endure for millions of years.

Steps in StoneSteps in Stone is a fantastic opportunity to see amazing fossil tracks, many of which have never been on display before, and

learn about animals in ancient environments.
