Encore! To say that Artown’s Sweet 16 was incredible is an understatement! After nearly a year of planning, June 30 was on our calendar, and in what seemed like the blink of an eye, July 31 showed up. It was 32 unforgettable days and nights with unique performances, packed parks, wonderful projects and tremendous response to our children’s Discover the Arts series. None of this would be possible without you. You’ve supported numerous artists and presenters and as a community proven that Reno IS Artown. For that we are grateful. Once again our community and business partners lent tremendous support to the festival, helping us to keep nearly 60 percent of Artown absolutely free. In addition, you gave back to Artown in a big way, helping us to bring in more than $30,000 for “Give $3 to Keep Artown Free.” With the matching gift from the Robert S. and Dorothy J. Keyser Foundation of $30,000, we received more than $60,000 to support Artown. Thank you to all who donated. Special thanks to longtime festival sponsors RGJ Media and U.S. Bank for leading the effort, as well as JLH Inc. for in-kind printing donations. Such a phenomenal festival calls for an equally phenomenal Encore and that’s what we’ve arranged. This January we introduce families to Imago Theatre and their delightful “ZooZoo,” a combination of theater, mime and comical animals. We’re also offering special youth pricing for this performance. Next we bring crossover sensation and violin virtuoso David Garrett. Encore wraps
up with our much anticipated performance by Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott with The Assad Brothers. We hope you’ll join us during our Encore season and we’ll look for you next July. Until then, we’ll see you in the theater. Cheers, Beth Macmillan Artown Executive Director

Another Encore season Rock and classical music meld on David Garrett’s violin

artown
| winter/spring 2012
From Beethoven, Bach and Brahms to Nirvana, Led Zeppelin and Metallica, world-class violinist David Garrett flawlessly bends and blends genres into what’s been called a classical crossover phenomenon. On Jan. 20, Reno audiences will get the chance to hear Garrett perform at the Grand Theatre at the Grand Sierra Resort as part of the Artown Encore Series. “I will be playing, with my five-piece band, a complete fusion of all the music I love,” Garrett says, “from classical to rock, which have been on both my U.S. albums.” The first of those two albums, “David Garrett,” was released in 2009, and the second record, “Rock Symphonies,” followed in 2010. “David Garrett” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Classical Crossover chart and stayed there for 31 weeks. “Rock Symphonies” peaked at No. 1 on the
same chart and held this top slot for more than three months. “I set out to do what I enjoy — crossing classical with rock, mixing Mozart with Kurt Cobain and Brahms with U2,” Garrett says. “I have always wanted to reach a wide audience, from my friends who maybe wouldn’t normally listen to classical music, to young kids who are just starting to get into music, to older fans who appreciate my musical origins.” Those musical origins run deep for Garrett, who was born in Aachen, Germany, to an American ballerina and a German lawyer. He began playing violin when he was 4 years old. By the time he was 10, Garrett was playing solo with the greatest orchestras in the world, including the London Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Russian National Orchestra. “I probably have spent more hours in my life playing violin than sleeping,” says Garrett, who still maintains an active classical career, performing around the world with traditional symphony orchestras. When he was 13 years old, Garrett signed on as a solo artist with the renowned classical music label Deutsche Grammophon. After spending his teens sticking to a rigorous schedule of concerts and recordings, Garrett left Germany for New York, where he took a break from the stage. Later, Garrett was accepted as a student at the Juilliard School and invited to study with legendary Israeli-American violinist Itzhak Perlman. Garrett names Perlman as one of his idols — along with classic rockers Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. With a deep love for the genres of classical music and rock, Garrett naturally began to consider how he could create a blend of both. “The concept of ‘Rock Symphonies’ has been on my mind for a very long time,” he says. “I’ve always thought there was a very strong connection between classical and rock — there’s a very strong sense of rhythm and a very strong sense of precision in both.” Recorded with the City of Prague Orchestra, “Rock Symphonies” is what Garrett calls a “love letter to his favorite bands.” The album features songs such as Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way,” Metallica’s “Master of Puppets,” Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir,” U2’s “Vertigo” and Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain,” along with their version of Paul McCartney’s “Live and Let Die.” “I’m a very big fan of ’80s rock, of power ballads and that kind of stuff,” Garrett says, “and I think adding an orchestra elevates rock to a whole different level.” For his Reno concert on Jan. 20, audiences can expect to hear
Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott with the Assad Brothers
stunning violin versions of classical music, rock music and even rhythm and blues. With the ability to seamlessly cross genres, Garrett has been able to achieve his goal of attracting fans from all walks of life. “It’s so great to look out into the crowd at my shows and see so many different age groups,” he says. “I always try to put a good balance and variety of different musical genres into a show, so hopefully everyone will find a good mixture.” According to Chris Christiansen, Artown board chair and entertainment director for Grand Sierra Resort, Garrett is a perfect fit for the Artown Encore Series, which aims to bring to town the type of talent local audiences won’t often find on mainstream stages. “David Garrett is a virtuoso violinist, classically trained and very accomplished in the world of classical music,” Christiansen says. “That being said, his performance will revolve around his interpretations of popular songs — it hits right on the mark of what the Artown Encore Series is all about.”
Latin music with Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott with The Assad Brothers With a catalog of more than 75 albums and a collection of 15 Grammy Awards, it is no surprise that Yo-Yo Ma may be the first name you think of when it comes to the cello. On April 26, the Artown Encore renoisartown.com |

Series brings Ma to Reno, where he will perform an evening of Latin American music, alongside Kathryn Stott and The Assad Brothers at Grand Sierra Resort. Ma has collaborated with Stott, an accomplished British pianist, on various projects for the past 25 years. Brazilian-born brothers Sergio and Odair Assad, two of South America’s top guitarists, round out the quartet. Sergio Assad arranged several of the works on Ma’s 2003 release “Obrigado Brazil,” which won a Grammy in 2004. The Assads also are featured on Ma’s 2008 holiday album “Songs of Joy & Peace.” Stott’s piano can be heard on Ma’s album “Paris: La Belle Époque,” and her skills in the arena of Latin music earned her a spot along with the Assad Brothers on Ma’s “Obrigado Brazil,” as well as his other Grammy Award-winning Latin album “Soul of the Tango.” Don’t miss your chance to see and hear the legendary Yo-Yo Ma perform Latin American music on the cello with Kathryn Stott and The Assad Brothers.
Imago Theatre presents ‘ZooZoo’ Deemed a “mastery of mime, dance and acrobatics” by the New York Times, Imago Theatre brings the magical production called “ZooZoo” to the stage at the Grand Theatre at the Grand Sierra Resort on Jan. 18 for the Artown Encore Series. Imago Theatre creators Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad populate the stage with characters that range from fireflies and giant polar bears to penguins and anteaters, performing without words to an original score by Katie Griesar. Triffle and Mouawad describe the production as “a circus, a zoo and a world all its own,” appealing to audience members of every age. “’ZooZoo’s’ universal themes are presented with a light touch,” Mouawad says, “as animals take on human characteristics and inanimate objects spring to mischievous life.” “ZooZoo” is composed of a series of short works, each lasting from around four to seven minutes. A cast of five from Portland’s Imago Theatre plays an array of hilarious 6

This past July, nearly every Artown venue and event was filled to capacity with attendees, making it clear that the local community is passionately receptive to all kinds of art. “More than 300,000 people attended Artown in July, which put us close to capacity at several venues,” says Beth Macmillan, executive director of Artown. “The success shows that our community has developed a hunger and a love for the arts. “People have expectations when they attend Artown, and we deliver,” she added. “It’s basic supply and demand.” Delivering a stunning variety of high-quality art — from dance and musical performances to paintings and sculpture — has become one of the hallmarks of Artown, at both free and ticketed performances.

“One of the standout aspects of Artown 2011 was the sheer diversity of events, from Doc Severinsen to India. Arie,” Macmillan says. “I think it’s wonderful that we can reach out and attract and affect everyone in the community, and we continue to push the envelope of diversity each year.” This signature diversity was apparent not only at the ticketed events of Artown 2011, but also at the free events, which made up about 60 percent of the festival. According to Chris Christiansen, chair of the Artown board and entertainment director for Grand Sierra Resort, the free Wednesday night World Music Series was among the highlights of July, in terms of both quality and variety. “The lineup spanned such broad range of cultures and different kinds of music,” he says. “The audience really came out, supported and responded to the World Music Series on Wednesday nights.” Christiansen cites Artown’s ability to provide such stellar free shows as one of the key reasons the 2011 festival was such a success, with large crowds flocking to each event. “Over the past few years, we’ve really worked hard on bringing the quality level up on the free events, and we’ve backed off on the number of paid ticketed events we’re doing,” he says. “Quite simply, in these economic times, that’s something people are really responding to — it’s a good value.” Along with the free events, executive director Macmillan observed that the community seems to be taking “ownership” of the festival as a whole. With a 16-year presence here in Reno each July, Artown has become a fixture for local residents.

hands on This mural, sponsored by U.S. Bank, allows children to paint during Artown’s Opening Night and at the Family Series.
“People have a comfort zone with Artown now, they have a greater understanding of the event and how it works,” Macmillan says. “For example, with the Family Series, most people know by now that there’s going to be a mural the kids can paint.” Keeping and enhancing this “comfort zone,” while at the same time allowing the festival to grow and evolve, is key when it comes to planning future Artown events. As for next July, Macmillan predicted Artown 2012 will involve more hands-on art events for both children and adults. “I know people love to be part of the audience at Artown,” she says, “but we’re noticing a lot of people also like to be involved as participants at the events.” Another trend that’s expected to continue next July is the movement toward a more eco-friendly Artown, from the recycing and composting at the park to the use of recycled goods in art projects. As for the ever-popular Wednesday night World Music Series, audiences may see a move away from traditional world music, toward global pop and world fusion. “We have not yet put together the program for the month of July next year,” Christiansen says, “but we’re looking forward to another year where we’re going to focus on diverse programming and the free events for the community.” ■

Beth Macmillan says the staff of Artown sees itself fulfilling a critical role: that of conduit. “We may run Artown from a logistical standpoint, but we don’t own it,” Macmillan, the festival’s executive director, says. “Members of this community are the real owners, and we take great pride in connecting them with an incredible sense of pride in the arts.”
She points to a national study by the National Endowment for the Arts that revealed the impact of arts festivals on the cities they serve. “The study found that arts festivals truly help to build a sense of community,” she says. “We feel that here during the month of July, when the entire community is uplifted and buzzing because of what’s happening at Artown.” Even those contributing to the event’s success note the importance of this spirit of unity. Phil Ulibarri, public information officer for the Washoe County Medical Reserve Corps, says his organization participates in the event because of the pride it inspires in locals. “Artown has this unique ability to act as a catalyst, bringing together our community in a positive setting and energizing it with wonderful musical talent,” he says. “The music, the performers, the crowd and the constant roar of the river seem to converge right around sunset, creating a sense of closeness among concert-goers.” This past July, every Wednesday evening at Wingfield Park, the Washoe County Medical Reserve Corps provided Artown audiences with information about the organization’s mission, promoted disaster/emergency preparedness, provided free blood pressure screenings and recruited volunteers interested in assisting when emergencies or disasters impact the community. “The shared experience (at Artown events) facilitates a sense of community, and we believe that’s why our ‘preparedness message’ resonated and we were so successful recruiting new Medical Reserve Corps members at this event,” Ulibarri says. “The goodwill and awareness the Medical Reserve Corps built during the fourweek concert series created an energetic, enthusiastic cache of visitors to our free blood pressure screening booth. It was through this effort that we were able to collect almost 60 applications for new volunteers, and in just one month we exceeded 2010’s entire recruiting effort by 32 percent.” Local companies that dedicate time and resources to the event’s success say they never struggle to find volunteers for their company booths. Justin J. Caporusso, communications manager for two-year festival sponsor Waste Management, says many of his company’s

300 local employees enjoy participating and representing Waste Management. “Waste Management’s employees work hard, care about their community and customers and they are passionate about what they do,” Caporusso says. “Our employees willingly volunteered their time to work our booth at Artown because they were excited to share information about all the good things our company does for Northern Nevada, and they wanted to help educate the public about the benefits of our proposed Single-Stream Recycling Program.” The organization has taken its message about sustainable practices to the festival and even collaborated with Artown to reduce its overall

impact on the environment. This was accomplished through a food waste/composting program, installing waste compactors at Wingfield Park and offering a single-stream recycling program, where all recyclable material is collected in a single container. “In total, Waste Management and Artown patrons diverted more than 73 percent of the waste generated at Wingfield Park from entering Lockwood Landfill,” Caporusso says. Such successful partnerships are ideal from the corporate level, but Macmillan notes both organizations and individuals can contribute to the festival and feel pride in ownership. In addition to funders that contribute to Artown’s success in what she says is a fundamentally important way, there are three other groups that “own” the festival. “The volunteers own it, as they are the customer representatives of the event. The audience also feels ownership, having a certain level of expectation of the quality of the product — and it’s our job to deliver it.” Finally, she says, the artists themselves are a critical component of the event’s success. “Local artists and Did you know? presenters You can become involved with comprise about 90 percent of Artown.

Taking art to another level Artown inspires education through experience and performance By Mikalee B yerman
If you’re like most people, chances are pretty good that you’ve had limited opportunities in life to fully immerse yourself in an artistic performance by a Honduran musician. Unless, that is, you were one of 2,500 people who attended the concert of Aurelio during Artown in July. “He had the audience totally engaged,” says Beth Macmillan, executive director of Artown. “Most of them had never heard of him and had probably never even listened to music from Honduras. But he sold out every copy of every CD he brought with him. And he exposed them to a totally different cultural experience.” Macmillan sees the role of Artown as not only bringing an appreciation for the arts to locals in the community; she sees the festival’s function as part educational as well. “I want the audience to walk away absolutely fulfilled on so many levels,” she says. “I want them to feel artistically engaged, to learn something new, to be proud of who we are as a community and the quality of life we offer. And I want them to participate with other arts organizations and events throughout the rest of the year.” She notes that oftentimes, an audience member will discover a new interest from a performance, translating that interest into other levels of artistic engagement.

“Maybe they really enjoyed an Opera in Blue Jeans performance, for example,” she says. “They’ll probably find themselves more likely to attend an opera as a result. That’s how the arts will grow: by the audience continuing to experience the arts throughout the year through other events and organizations.” She points to the recent performance by the New York-based Stephen Petronio Company as another example of an engaging experience that left audiences talking. The international dance company combined modern music, fashion and visual art on the stage, creating a cutting-edge performance that inspired more than just an appreciation for technical skill. “As the audience walked out of the theater, the conversations began,” Macmillan says. “That was an incredible thing to watch — to know you’ve inspired people through exposure to something different and special. Sometimes it’s the best part of the job to find Artown programming that stretches the spectator, that pushes the envelope just a little.” On a more hands-on level, Artown also provides a clear connection between arts and education through events like workshops. Attendees can learn how to be an artist and/or open a dialogue with an artist through these practical experiences. “By having a conversation with an artist, we’re able to broaden people’s vocabulary about what art is, what it means to tell a story through art and to also practically teach them how to be an artist,” she says. “We’re inspiring a deeper connection to art through this kind of personal exposure.” renoisartown.com |

And clearly, there’s another audience altogether that benefits from Artown’s educational thrust: local children. Dave Branson, Fine Arts and Music Administrator for the Washoe County School District (WCSD) notes that opportunities to experience and practice the arts, and gain more knowledge of the arts, are vital to educating the whole child. “In the WCSD we work very hard to offer outstanding arts education and opportunities for our students,” he says. “Artown’s Discover the Arts program is a wonderful extension, allowing children the opportunity to see artists up close, to talk to, and sometimes work with them.” Now in its16th year, Discover the Arts is the festival’s longest running series bringing free weekday children’s programming to locations throughout the community. The series focuses on introducing varied art forms to area youth. Highlights include theater, dance, music, poetry, visual arts, crafts and more. Workshops, camps and performances sometimes feature local and national artists, with whom children personally interact. “Students, like all people, learn best by doing and being engaged,” Branson says. “The Discover the Arts program allows for more active engagement which is very meaningful for children. Students love to see and hear new things, and when they are given some new knowledge and appreciation by attending a performance or arts event it has a very positive impact on their own interest in the arts. Who knows what the long-term impact may be on one of these students. Some may well be the next great artist or musician having gained great inspiration from what they saw or heard.”
Discover the arts Discover the Arts is Artown’s longestrunning series.
0000380573 GRAND SIERRA RESORT ARTOWN 6 x 5.0 Macmillan agrees. “Some of the kids who started in the program are now 20,” she says. “They know art better than people twice their age, just based on their experiences in Discover the Arts. And they know that the arts and Artown are part of our culture and our community.” ■
