Experience. Something. Real.Dear Arts Lover,

People have been coming together to enjoy live entertainment in outdoor arenas and indoor halls for more than 2500 years. When you attend performances here at The Performing Arts Center you are part of a centuries-old tradition of people who gather to enjoy a matchless communal experience of artists and audiences connecting with one another.

Live entertainment. It’s an experience that cannot be had in front of a TV or movie screen. It’s real. Happening before your eyes. And happening only once…ever. The next performance, on another day and in a different place, will be its own unique event.

Once-in-a-lifetime performances on our stages in 2013-2014 will include artists who are so well known that their names need no descriptive modifiers: Joshua Bell, Mariinsky, Orpheus, Michael Feinstein, Chanticleer, Dr. John.

It includes familiar performers returning to our stages with unexpected and new programs: Sir James Galway returning with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, Savion Glover with his new show STePz, Matt Haimovitz in a cello and piano jam with Christopher O’Riley.You will be introduced to some performers you may not have seen before: eighth blackbird’s energetic virtuosity, the compelling choreography of Doug Varone, the sizzling flamenco of Carlota Santana.

There is so much more. “More,” in fact, is the operative word! As you look through this brochure you will see that the 2013-2014 season features more orchestras, more dance, more chamber music, and more variety than in previous seasons!

We look forward to seeing you, beginning in September, for many, many once-in-a-lifetime performances here at The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College.

Opening Our 36th Season

with an American Original

We wouldn’t open our season with an ordinary artist when extra-ordinary is available.

Extraordinary is, indeed, a singular word to describe the singular talent of Cassandra

Wilson. She doesn’t merely sing, she wraps her talent around every note and nurtures and gives birth to magnificent jazzy, bluesy sounds

while incorporating a touch of country and folk, adding up to peerless, one-of-a-kind music.

One Classic Story, One Actor, a Stage Full of Characters

Homer’s Trojan War classic, as envisioned by two visionaries, co-writer and director Lisa Peterson and co-writer and actor Denis O’Hare, is a sprawling yarn of gods and goddesses, undying love, and endless battles. Only a truly brilliant actor, and Tony Award-winner Denis O’Hare fills the bill, can be the solo embodiment of multiple characters. Not ordinary characters either…O’Hare becomes Achilles, Hector, Agamemnon, Helen, Hecuba, Apollo, Hermes, Athena, and all the rest. This sweeping account of humanity’s unshakable attraction to violence, destruction, and chaos raises one question: Has anything really changed since the Trojan War?

Infinite Improvisations

Improvisation is expected in comedy, integral to jazz, the mission of many theatre troupes. But improvisation in classical music? Almost unheard of…except in the performances of Caracas-born pianist Gabriela Montero. Playing since the age of five, she is celebrated for real-time improvisations of sophisticated music. Yes, she is true to the art and architecture of standard classical fare, but her concerts have a matchless pizzazz when she creates music on-the-fly, often starting with melodies suggested by audience members. You may already have encountered her on a cold January day a few years ago, playing for the President’s first inauguration.

The Legend

The word “legend” is so over-used in brochures and promotional copy that it has become a cliché. We promise to use it only once, and most appropriately, for Martha Graham. Her influence on dance has been compared to Picasso’s influence on art, Stravinsky’s on music, Frank Lloyd Wright’s on architecture. The dance company she founded continues to foster her spirit of ingenuity more than 20 years after her death. Yes, the repertory includes classic Graham masterpieces, but the company continues to bring fresh perspective to dance through commissions. Miss Graham, the legend, would be proud.

Savion Glover

The Area Premiere of the Newest Work by the

Leading Tap-Master

Savion Glover is a tap-dancing and choreographic genius, there’s no argument about it. Whenever

he creates a new work, whether on Broadway, video, or on tour, audiences know they will be in for a thrill-ride of exuberant dance. The theatre was packed, very nearly SRO, when Glover was last at The PAC five years ago. This year Glover and his dancers bring us STePz, a celebration of

music and dance taking tap to new heights in an adrenalin rush of a performance that will leave

audiences exhilarated.

North America’s Premier Wind Quintet

Visualize a chamber music ensemble. The image conjured usually involves violins and pianos and cellos. Erase that image and visualize a flute and an oboe, a clarinet, a French horn, and a bassoon, and you have Imani Winds, America’s leading wind quintet. This ensemble, all of African and Latin ancestry, enriches the traditional classical repertoire with jazz, Afro-Caribbean, and Central and South American sounds. Imani means “faith” in Swahili. Have faith that an Imani Winds recital, featuring traditional as well as new works written expressly for them, will be an experience to be savored.

“The group echoes the fresh ‘plein air’ sound of cool breezes and incisive energy” – The Washington Post

One of four recitals hosted by NPR’s Bill McGlaughlin. For the past several seasons, these events have become a new performance-and-discussion tradition, welcoming audiences and artists to connect at a deeper level.

‘Tis said, “Ah, the luck o’ the Irish.”

If there’s any truth to that statement, good fortune will be in abundance at The PAC when the Irish Chamber Orchestra makes their Purchase debut. In fact, there will be an extra pot of gold at the rainbow’s end as the Orchestra will be joined by one of Ireland’s greatest exports, the great Sir James Galway, along with his wife, Lady Jeanne, who both dazzled in a sold-out performance in the Concert Hall this past season. Based in Limerick, this world-class ensemble is renowned throughout Europe for its intense and passionate mastery of the classical canon. That’s no blarney!

Doug Varone

Dance Series Debut of Award-Winning Purchase College Alumnus

Purchase College alum Doug Varone is no stranger to our stage, but this marks the first time he and the company he founded have been an official part of The PAC’s dance series. As we expand our dance programming we say it’s about time! Since establishing the company more than a quarter century ago Varone and his dancers have been cheered for work that is, quite simply, contemporary dance at its most compelling, artistry of magnificent versatility, springing from the imagination of Doug Varone, whose choreography has transcended genres from dance to theater to opera.

“Mr. Varone’s superb dancers are always worth seeing” – The New York Times

Precise and Passionate

with Bow and Strad

Joshua Bell is one of a handful of artists who can sell out a concert hall based on their name alone.

Is it any wonder? He’s been around so long that one of his concerts feels like a visit from an

old friend. He was just a boy, a 14-year-old, when he first appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and only 17 when he

made his Carnegie Hall debut. He’s made that rare transition from prodigy to musical maturity

and the years have brought him acclaim and almost-a-household-name recognition.

Audiences beyond the world of classical concerts know him. Recently he performed

the Academy Award-nominated Best Original Song “Before My Time” with Scarlett Johansson.

His return to The PAC – he was here a few years ago as a surprise substitute when Itzhak

Perlman took ill very shortly before a scheduled gala performance – is cause for celebration.

Boys’

Christmas in Vienna

Before there was a Beethoven or a Mozart or a Bach there was the Vienna Boys’ Choir

singing for the Austrian Court. In recent years this centuries-old choir of young men, ages 10

to 14, has become almost synonymous with the Christmas season through their recordings

of classical, popular, and international holiday music. CDs are good, but in-person is better.

The voices of these young people, pure and beautiful, mesh and meld into an overwhelming

and unforgettable musical experience. This is not the world’s only boys’ choir, but it is the

best known…and for good reason.

Download music for the piano and cello, create a playlist for your iPod, put it on shuffle, and

non-virtual reality? Pianist Christopher O’Riley, the host of NPR’s “From the Top” making his

debut at The PAC, and cellist Matt Haimovitz, no stranger to our audiences, break down musical barriers in their concerts, playing

together like a couple of old friends jamming.

The

Standard-Bearer of Chamber Orchestra

Excellence

Johnny Carson had the NBC Orchestra. Jay Leno has The Tonight Show Band. If The PAC has a “house band” surely it’s the Orpheus Chamber

Orchestra. This past year they celebrated their 40th birthday, released their 70th recording, commissioned their 35th original work, and, because our

enthusiastic audiences asked for more through their thunderous applause, they returned to Purchase for another performance of grace, subtlety,

and passion. This most democratic of ensembles – there is no conductor, every musician is in charge, and critics and audiences agree that it works

magnificently – is back, this time with 25-year-old Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, the 2009 Van Cliburn International Competition winner who

recently made his Carnegie Hall debut to great acclaim, as guest artist.

Beloved Hometown Musical “Hero”

As far as we’re concerned it’s a homecoming whenever Garrick Ohlsson is on our Great Performers roster. The PAC is only a few miles from where he began to study the piano seriously, as an 8-year-old student at the Music Conservatory of Westchester in White Plains. From there it was Juilliard at the age of 13 and a shelf full of prizes: first prize in the Chopin and Busoni Competitions, the Avery Fisher Prize – you name it, he’s won it. The best news for our audiences: he likes to come home…and we’re only too happy to welcome him.

The Greatest Comedic Talent in America Today

This powerhouse comedy troupe, a staple of the New York and Los Angeles theatre scenes, is getting its act together and taking it on the road. But it’s an act with an empty suitcase: no script, no planned props. It’s the high-wire act of comedy: improvisation. Their performances can be as cool as hangin’ with college buddies who happen to be quick-witted and super funny or just wildly absurd and loopy.

A Mac Rebennack concert is always an unforgettable mix of the unlikely and riveting. Mac who? OK, that’s what his friends and family may call him,

but the world knows him as Dr. John, the living embodiment of the musical heritage of New Orleans. There’s nothing subtle about a Dr. John concert.

With his singular voice – casual and scratchy and thoroughly hypnotizing – and wily timing and riffs, he knows how to New Orleans-ize all manner

of American music.

Grammy Award-Winning Violist

We know what you may have thought you read, but the name is Kashkashian. Even major news outlets misidentified her when she took home

the Grammy for Best Classical Instrumental Solo earlier this year. Unlike that other Kim, this fellow Armenian doesn’t spend her time

shopping for shoes. She spends it on the road, performing as string soloist with blue-chip

symphonies throughout the world. With an extensive and eclectic viola repertoire, and

accolade upon accolade for her performances, this is a Kim whose name you’ll be hearing long

after that other Kim has been forgotten.

Proving it’s possible to be edgy and traditional at the same time, Decoda, an ensemble selected in partnership with Carnegie Hall, was presented at The PAC in 2012 under the name The Declassified. A smashing success, this newly minted chamber music society of accomplished young musicians returns, bringing a matchless fervor to their playing, whether it’s a work from the tried-and-true classical music canon or a new work destined for posterity. Our long-time concertgoers embraced them in their performances last season as did audiences new to the communal joy of classical recitals.

Irish-Celtic Songs to Warm the Heart and Celebrate the Season

We followed the rainbow to its end and found not a pot o’ gold, nor the leprechaun, but this troupe from County Sligo. Musical magic is what Dervish cooks up, all rooted in the heart of Ireland: jigs and ballads, with more than a bit of blarney in between. So start your evening with a swig of green beer (it should be “in season” by then) and treat yourself to this performance of Irish music, just as good as it gets and better, blending new compositions and traditional songs into a powerful, joyous sound.

The Hottest of Hot Dances…Sizzles

Flamenco. The word itself conjures notions of fiery passion and jaw-dropping power, neither

of which will be in short supply when Carlota Santana’s company, heading into their 30th

anniversary season, takes the stage. But there will also be form and subtlety, integral to the

dance synonymous with Spain. Watching these artists – arched backs, rolling hips, lightning-fast feet – you’ll feel it coming, you may try

to suppress it, but you may be overcome and simply have to shout out: “Ole! Ole!”

They’re back. Their holiday concert last season sold out so quickly that we had to ask them to return, and they’ve

and majesty of the human voice. The first vocal ensemble ever inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame, Chanticleer’s “vocal literature”

takes audiences on a journey from Renaissance to jazz to gospel and beyond.

Leopold Stokowski’s Orchestral Invention

From the stage of Carnegie Hall to the stage of The PAC’s Concert Hall, and halls throughout the world, Leopold Stokowski’s American Symphony Orchestra presents itself as an American original. The great conductor founded it just over 50 years ago, and for the past 20 years Leon Botstein has been wielding the baton and carrying on the tradition. That tradition? Curated concerts – the word “curated” sounds humdrum, but the result is anything but – created around themes from the visual arts, literature, politics, and history, often unearthing rarely performed masterworks for well-deserved revival and revisiting familiar pieces in thrilling new interpretations.

This all-male corps de ballet strikes at the heart of conventions and clichés of classical ballet and proves that men can dance en pointe without landing on their keesters. The Trocks – if you’re in the know, that’s what you call them – are among the finest, classically trained dancers who may have you exclaiming, “Hey, that swan’s a dude!” An evening in their company promises two things: unbridled artistry and unabashed fun.

No one knows the Gershwins as well as Michael Feinstein does. He wrote the book, literally and

male cabaret artists has been acclaimed for his explorations of songs popularized by Sinatra as

well as the great composers of the American Songbook. But his performance explorations of

quite likely tomorrow.

We see it every time a young person encounters one of our programs, whether at The Center or

in the community. A single spark, ignited by a thrilling encounter with a live performance or a

gifted artist, can inspire a lifelong passion for the arts and a love of learning.

This season at The Center we offer familiar events and artists as well as new discoveries

selected to resonate throughout the curriculum and provide exceptional experiences for all

grade levels; we also continue our work in the community through programs such

as the nationally recognized Neighborhood Bridges program.

Yes, it only takes a single spark, and we continue to provide kindling for the fire

with outstanding performances, innovative residency opportunities, extensive study

guides, and access to renowned artists and extraordinary teachers.

Richard & Dolly Maass

Gallery Located within the School of Art+Design, the

Richard & Dolly Maass Gallery presents exhibitions that provide professional context for students and interact with their daily classroom

experience. The gallery’s program focuses on emerging artists, A+D alumni, current faculty, and student work. This series includes yearly

MFA and BFA student group exhibitions. In conjunction with the Neuberger Museum,

the School also connects artists whose work is featured in an exhibition at the Museum

with students, oftentimes as a project space. Through this connection, students have the

unique opportunity to work with a practicing exhibiting artist who isn’t a member of the

School’s faculty.

The Passage Gallery The Passage Gallery serves as a professional-quality interdisciplinary media gallery and exhibition space for student work at Purchase College. The gallery opens new shows on a regular cycle of three to four weeks, representing the breadth of cultural production at the school. The Passage Gallery provides a venue for a diverse array of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, digital media, video, and theatre design, as well as performance and conceptual art forms.

Neuberger Museum of ArtThe Neuberger Museum of Art is the premier museum of modern, African, and contemporary art in the Westchester/Fairfield County region. An outstanding arts and education institution, the Museum was conceived with the dual purpose of serving both as an important cultural resource to its regional, national, and international audiences and as an integral part of Purchase College. The Museum’s mission is to educate our diverse audience in, about, and through the visual arts. Our goal is to engage and inspire by actively fostering the story, appreciation, and understanding of our collection and changing exhibitions. Beginning in 2013 and extending through 2014, we will celebrate the Neuberger Museum of Art’s 40th Anniversary. Special exhibitions, events, and programming are planned. Visit www.neuberger.org, subscribe to our e-news, or connect on Facebook for updates and information.

Experience. Something. Real.Dear Arts Lover,

People have been coming together to enjoy live entertainment in outdoor arenas and indoor halls for more than 2500 years. When you attend performances here at The Performing Arts Center you are part of a centuries-old tradition of people who gather to enjoy a matchless communal experience of artists and audiences connecting with one another.

Live entertainment. It’s an experience that cannot be had in front of a TV or movie screen. It’s real. Happening before your eyes. And happening only once…ever. The next performance, on another day and in a different place, will be its own unique event.

Once-in-a-lifetime performances on our stages in 2013-2014 will include artists who are so well known that their names need no descriptive modifiers: Joshua Bell, Mariinsky, Orpheus, Michael Feinstein, Chanticleer, Dr. John.

It includes familiar performers returning to our stages with unexpected and new programs: Sir James Galway returning with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, Savion Glover with his new show STePz, Matt Haimovitz in a cello and piano jam with Christopher O’Riley.You will be introduced to some performers you may not have seen before: eighth blackbird’s energetic virtuosity, the compelling choreography of Doug Varone, the sizzling flamenco of Carlota Santana.

There is so much more. “More,” in fact, is the operative word! As you look through this brochure you will see that the 2013-2014 season features more orchestras, more dance, more chamber music, and more variety than in previous seasons!

We look forward to seeing you, beginning in September, for many, many once-in-a-lifetime performances here at The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College.
