Stephen Vitiello A Scuttering Across the Leaves sound installation in collaboration with Kasey Fowler-Finn Cube Internationally renowned sound artist Stephen Vitiello premieres a new installation based on unique insect recordings and micro sounds of the forest captured at Mountain Lake Biological Station in Pembroke, Virginia. Using a specialized laser recording device, Vitiello collaborated with evolutionary biologist Kasey Fowler-Finn to capture the sounds of insect movement on the stems and leaves of plants. These recorded sounds will be spatialized and manipulated at Virginia Tech’s Institute of Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) studios to reveal a hidden sound world that would otherwise be inaudible. This extraordinary inner world, until now undetected and unknown, will be revealed in the Cube for the first time and for only 10 days. Supported in part by ICAT and by the University of Virginia and the Mountain Lake Biological Station’s ArtLab.

Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society Brooklyn Babylon Darcy James Argue, composer and conductor Danijel Zezelj, story, animation, and live painting Jim Findlay, video design Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre “… a masterpiece . . . a new work of originality, power, and beauty.” – David Krasnow, Studio 360 Big band jazz punctuated by stunning video animation and live painting, Brooklyn Babylon tells the tale of Lev, a carpenter in a future Brooklyn, tasked with building a carousel to crown the tallest tower in the world. It’s an urban fable co-created by acclaimed graphic novelist and illustrator Danijel Zezelj and Grammy-nominated composer Darcy James Argue. The story unfolds wordlessly through the combination of video, live painting, and an original score performed by Argue’s 18-piece jazz big band, Secret Society. Composer and bandleader Argue has toured nationally and internationally with Secret Society, garnering countless awards, and reimagining what a 21st-century big band can sound like.

Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society Real Enemies (a workshop premiere) Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre “This is the age of conspiracy, the age of connections, secret links, secret relationships.” — Don DeLillo, Running Dog Based on in-depth research into the history, aesthetics, and psychology of conspiracy, Real Enemies is an evening-length, multimedia, jazz-fueled exploration of American paranoia. This marriage of music-theatre and hybrid nonfiction marks the first collaboration between composer Darcy James Argue, filmmaker Peter Nigrini, and writer Isaac Butler, who together chronicle a shadow history of post-war America that may—or may not—be true. Beginning with Edward Snowden’s revelations about NSA data collection and moving through a dozen conspiracies, Real Enemies mimics and deconstructs how information overload, our need to make sense of the world, and government wrongdoing form the basis of our conspiracy culture. Conspiracy theories are our modern folklore, a way to explain uncomfortable and troubling aspects of our world. Equal parts rollicking concert, impressionist documentary, and lyric essay, Real Enemies is at the vanguard of both music-theatre and hybrid non-fiction, continuing the boundary-pushing work of composer Darcy James Argue. Music, Jazz $15 general admission, free for Virginia Tech students, $10 other students with ID and children 18 and under 20%–30% subscription discounts available

Anthony de Mare, piano Liaisons: Re-imagining Sondheim from the Piano Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre Liaisons is a landmark project, conceived by acclaimed concert pianist Anthony de Mare, who commissioned 36 of the world’s foremost contemporary composers from across the musical spectrum to “re-imagine” one of Sondheim’s songs as a solo piano piece. The result is new repertory that reveals Sondheim’s influence across multiple genres and generations. Chosen in consultation with Sondheim, the Liaisons roster spans the classical, jazz, opera, pop, musical theatre, and film worlds. Composers hail from seven countries, range in age from 30 to 75, and represent more than 44 Pulitzers, Grammys, Tonys, and Academy Awards. At its essence, Liaisons is an homage, focused on Sondheim, the composer. Liaisons leaves no doubt that Sondheim’s music is as at home in the concert hall as it is in the theatre—making the case for him as one of the 20th century’s greatest and most influential composers.

STREB FORCES Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre “STREB has a knack for creating intricate contrapuntal patterns in unlikely spaces. Gravity be damned.” —Los Angeles Times Elizabeth Streb, the “Evel Knievel of Dance,” nimbly weaves dance, athletics, rodeo, the circus, and Hollywood-style stunt work into one amazing live performance. STREB began in 1985 with a stubborn investigation of action, ranging from every day movements to the extreme action of sports, the circus, and thrill rides; the impulse to action that is in our souls. The company is a world-class entertainment phenomenon that stays true to its scientific and populist roots. STREB, whose cutting-edge, dangerous talent was featured at the 2012 London Olympics, invents action ideas that are daring, yet understandable, that soar past our critical senses and land in our hearts. Forces is the story of action, it is the journey to harness invisible forces, it is the quest to mount a machine and learn its tricks. And it is sure to take your breath away.

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre “Iconoclastic. Unabashed genre crashing antics. Nothing is spoof proof.” –The Sunday Times Formed in 1985 as a bit of fun, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain’s first gig was an instant sell-out, and they’ve been performing ever since. Over the last 30 years, they have spawned hundreds of imitators; indeed, the orchestra often is blamed for the current ukulele revival sweeping communities across the globe. The current ensemble has been playing together for more than 20 years, and has become a much-loved national institution. They play ukuleles, they sing, they say funny things, they whistle; but they bring a lot more to the table than that.

St. Lawrence String Quartet Haydn Discovery Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre Established in 1989, the St. Lawrence String Quartet (SLSQ) has developed an undisputed reputation as a truly world-class chamber ensemble. The quartet performs more than 120 concerts annually worldwide, and is the ensemble in residence at Stanford University. Haydn has been a passion for SLSQ since their founding, and their mission here is to shift common perspective from “pleasant opening music” to “radical, passionate innovator.” A highlight of the concert led by Geoff Nuttall is SLSQ’s exploration of a Haydn quartet in depth at the beginning of the performance. They then play the piece through, engaging the audience in active listening and a much deeper appreciation of Haydn’s compositional genius.

Sherman Alexie, author Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre One of The New Yorker’s 20 top writers for the 21st century, author, poet, and screenwriter Sherman Alexie grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington, but it wasn’t until a college professor recognized his “intensity of language, passion, and energy” that he fully committed to writing. Shortly after, his first books of poetry were published, and he began developing into a gifted orator, telling tales of contemporary American Indian life with razor sharp humor, unsettling candor, and biting wit. His novels, such as Reservation Blues, Indian Killer, and The Toughest Indian in the World, have won numerous awards and accolades. The National Book Award-winning The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian was named Time’s best Young Adult Book of all time. In 1998, Alexie wrote and produced the film Smoke Signals, an adaptation of his book The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. The movie went on to win the Audience Award and Filmmakers Trophy at the Sundance Film Festival. He was recently awarded a 2014 Literature Award by The American Academy of Arts and Letters. Alexie is the guest editor of 2015’s Best American Poetry.

Engaging listeners and defying boundaries with programs that showcase the players’ roots in the classical tradition and passion for musical discovery, The Knights have, as The New Yorker observes, “become one of Brooklyn’s sterling cultural products, [and] are known far beyond the borough for their relaxed virtuosity and expansive repertory.” Music, Classical $25–$55, $10 students with ID and children 18 and under 20%–30% subscription discounts available

Emanuel Ax, piano Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre “His greatness, his overwhelming authority as musician, technician, and probing intellect emerges quickly as he plays. Within minutes, we are totally captured by his intensity and pianistic achievement.” –Los Angeles Times Emanuel Ax, one of the leading pianists in the world today, captured public attention in 1974 when he won the first Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv, and five years later the coveted Avery Fisher Prize. A Sony Classical exclusive recording artist since 1987, his recent releases include Mendelssohn Trios with Yo-Yo- Ma and Itzhak Perlman; Strauss’s Enoch Arden, narrated by Patrick Stewart; and discs of two-piano music by Brahms and Rachmaninoff with Yefim Bronfman.

Alonzo King LINES Ballet Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre “The most sophisticated modernism in classical dance.” –Los Angeles Times San Francisco’s Alonzo King LINES Ballet offers bold dance innovations that explore classicism, while breaking the traditional ballet mold. The evening will feature Men’s Quintet, with music by Edgar Meyer; Concerto for Two Violins, set to music of J. S. Bach; and King’s latest creation inspired by animal “soundscapes” from famed bio-acoustician Bernie Krause, PhD. Known for collaborations with The Doors, The Byrds, Stevie Wonder, and for dozens of Hollywood films, Krause describes this collaboration with King as an opportunity to “explore the sonic intersection between natural soundscapes and their profound inspiration of human music and dance.” Krause’s renowned soundscapes inspired the choreography, and served as the core material for new music by composer Richard Blackwell.

This program was made possible in part by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts. Dance, Modern $25–$55, $10 students with ID and children 18 and under 20%–30% subscription discounts available

The Orlando Consort La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc film with live music Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre When Carl Dreyer’s historic silent film La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc was released in 1928, it caused a minor scandal. At the time condemned in France and banned in England, it is now recognized as a cinematic masterpiece, among the 10 ten greatest films. Based on the transcription of Joan of Arc’s trial, the film features claustrophobic close-ups that both interrogate and reveal the true emotions of the protagonists. Various forms of music have accompanied the movie, from J. S. Bach to Nick Cave. But until now, no one has performed music of the 15th century that the film depicts. The story comes to life anew with conflicting discourses, alternately cajoling and condemnatory, an unheard aural polyphony that finds an echo in the clashing polyphony of medieval motets, antiphons, plainsong, and discant, repertoire that the internationally acclaimed medieval a cappella vocal ensemble The Orlando Consort has made its own over the past 25 years.

Diavolo: Architecture in Motion L’Espace du Temps Jacques Heim, artistic director Street and Davis Performance Hall, Anne and Ellen Fife Theatre Diavolo, returning to the center by popular demand, reinvents dance, re-imagines theatre, and redefines thrills. Heim and his troupe of performers take movement, athletics, and daring to the extreme. Envisioned by Heim and the Los Angeles Philharmonic as a trilogy—Foreign Bodies (2007) with music by Esa Pekka Salonen, Fearful Symmetries (2010) with music by John Adams, and Fluid Infinities (2013) with music by Philip Glass—L’espace du Temps is a meditation on the space of time, asking “where do we come from?”, “where are we going?”, and “how did everything begin?” L’Espace du Temps is an epic undertaking, showcasing vibrant music, dynamic movement, and compelling sculptural art.
