WELCOME TO YOUR UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR THE ARTS The School of Music, Theatre, and Dance empowers students to create, collaborate, innovate, and inspire. Through teaching, creative artistry, research, advocacy, and service,

we elevate arts education. The second half of the University Center for the Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10th Anniversary season features students, faculty, and staff of the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance working together to present a diverse array of performances that offer audiences of all ages and backgrounds an opportunity to be moved by the power of live performance. I urge you to explore performances in all three areas within the school, and especially to attend one or more events in venues with which you are not as familiar. If you tend to frequent Griffin Concert Hall, then take a chance on the Dance Theatre. If you love shows in the University Theatre, maybe spend an evening in the Organ Recital Hall. I know that you will find magic in all of the wonderful spaces within the UCA. The UCA is one of Northern Coloradoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recognized cultural institutions, and the students, faculty, and staff of the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance are privileged to work within its walls each day. Thank you to all for your patronage and for your support of the performing arts in Northern Colorado.

Dan Goble Director, School of Music, Theatre, and Dance

Jazz Ensembles Concert Jazz Classics Concert: Art Music for Dancing Tuesday, February 26, 7:30 p.m. Griffin Concert Hall, UCA For this performance, the CSU Jazz Ensembles, conducted by Wil Swindler and Shilo Stroman, explore the enjoyable intersection of big band concert music and the infectious swing of the "dance band" tradition.

The rhythmic interest that runs through the history of jazz has never diminished, even as the musical content developed into art music. “There are many great examples of big band music from the 1950s and 60s that are undeniably danceable and undoubtedly musically inspired,” says Swindler. “Let's all get together and celebrate the rhythmic tradition and musical interest of big band jazz!” University Sinfonia Concert Wednesday, February 27, 7:30 p.m., Griffin Concert Hall, UCA Join the University Sinfonia, CSU’s select chamber orchestra conducted by Wes Kenney, and three of CSU’s best student instrumentalists for the annual concerto competition finals. “Our concerto competition finals is always a friendly, but intense competition, with phenomenal performances,” exclaims Maestro Kenney.

"The nature of the jazz musician has always been to observe the music in our cultural surroundings and reflect what we hear with our own individual sensibility. As our American and world cultures develops into the 21st century, jazz follows along, absorbing the musical texture of our communities and participating through decorated sound and improvisation,” describes Swindler.

Ralph Opera Program The Wandering Scholar by Gustav Holst and Riders to the Sea by Ralph Vaughan Williams Directed by Tiffany Blake, Conducted by Wes Kenney Ticketed Performances: April 4, 5, 6, 7:30 p.m., and April 7, 2 p.m., Griffin Concert Hall, UCA Two one act operas by British composers. The Wandering Scholar, by Gustav Holst, with libretto by Clifford Bax, is based on a tale by Helen Waddell. The story, set in a 13th century farmhouse in France, involves Louis and his wife, Alison, the town priest, Phillippe, who seems to want more than he should from dear Alison, and the poor wandering scholar, Pierre, who uncovers the conspiracy with the priest. The Wandering Scholar was first performed in 1934, but Holst was too sick to hear it live. He died before he had the chance to correct any of the insecurities he had with the score. In 1968, his daughter, Imogen Holst and her friend, Benjamin Britten, edited the score in order to address some of Gustav's earlier concerns. Vaughan Williams has come to be regarded as one of the finest British composers of the 20th century. Riders to the Sea, a one act opera from a play by J.M. Synge, the story of a family's lament for sons lost at sea off the Donegal coast. It's notable for the orchestral portraits of the sea and the wind, which ultimately lead to the Sinfonia Antartica, and many think it Vaughan Wililams's finest theatrical work. The composer completed the score in 1927, but it was not premiered until 1937 at the Royal College of Music, London. CSU System Passport eligible.

To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two guvnors apart. Simple. Winner of the Outer Critics Circle award for Best Play.

THEATRE PERFORMANCES | SPRING 2019

A Man of No Importance, a musical by Terrence McNally Directed by Noah Racey April 26, 27, May 2, 3, 4, 7:30 p.m.; matinees on April 28, May 5, 2 p.m. University Theatre, UCA This tender story of family, friendship and acceptance teaches us that it really is a wonderful thing to "love whom you love." Winner of the 2003 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, A Man of No Importance is the second successful collaboration by the team of Terrence McNally, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, all of whom won Tony Awards for Ragtime. Alfie Byrne is a bus driver in 1964 Dublin whose heart holds secrets that he can't share with anyone but his imagined confidante, Oscar Wilde. When he attempts to put on an amateur production of Wilde's Salome in the local church hall, he confronts the forces of bigotry and shame over a love "that dare not speak its name." But the redemptive power of theatre changes his life and brings his friends back to his side. A Man of No Importance is a rare gem in the canon of musical theatre, one that combines the depth and drama of a play with the lyricism and comedy of a musical. A tender and beautifully woven tale of love, friendship and coming to terms with who we are that is sure to move and inspire your audiences. 27

GREGORY ALLICAR MUSEUM OF ART

Welcome to your art museum! 2019 promises to be an exciting year at the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art, with a diverse slate of temporary exhibitions, world-class permanent collection gallery installations, and programming that connects people and ideas in ways only art can. We continue to use the lens of art to reveal new perspectives on relevant questions of our time, issues of gender and race, access, equity, and inclusion. We also look to history for the lessons it can teach, with two upcoming exhibitions focusing on the 1960s. This spring, we’ll highlight connections between art and social change while showcasing the museum’s fabulous mid-century collection. In fall 2019, we’ll present the first museum exhibition to consider six small drawings that were placed on the moon aboard Apollo 12 in November of 1969, including one by Andy Warhol. We look to our history closer to home with an exhibition this summer honoring the legacy one of America’s great printmakers, CSU alumna Barbara Tisserat. This year we will introduce a museum Family Day; we will continue to connect the arts with concerts, poetry, and dance in the galleries; and the upcoming artists’ talks are not-to-be-missed. There’s truly something for everybody, and we’re always free and open to all (and open late on Thursdays for pre-performance visits). I hope you’ll visit often!

AVENIR MUSEUM OF DESIGN AND MERCHANDISING Now with textile treasures on public view in two locations! 216 East Lake Street – University Center for the Arts-East 1400 Remington Street – University Center for the Arts, Room 115

EAST LAKE STREET Museum Hours / FREE and open to the public The galleries in the Avenir Museum’s main location feature the three exhibitions below, on the following schedule: Monday – Friday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Closed national and university holidays, and December 27 & 28, 2018. New Threads ongoing Showcasing the Avenir Museum’s most recent acquisitions, New Threads examines what makes textile or apparel objects “museum worthy” for acceptance into our collection. Spring 2019 features a breadth of garments, including a man's boldly printed velvet tuxedo jacket from the swinging 1960s, two women's coats showing different application of the paisley pattern, and two late-nineteenth century sakiori obi—rag woven sashes from Japan. Dior's 'New Look' in the Everyday American Closet January 14- June 14, 2019 French couturier Christian Dior (1905-1957) was one of the most influential fashion designers of the twentieth century. His 'New Look' debuted in 1947; its feminine silhouette and voluminous fabric yardages quickly seduced post-World War II style setters. Far from the boulevards of Paris, how did the everyday American woman aspire to achieve Dior's 'New Look'? This Spring 2019 exhibition features a new selection of women's mid-century apparel from the ensembles that were on view in Fall 2018! Teaching with Textiles: Collections in the Classroom and the Community January 22 – May 24, 2019 Showcasing student research projects of objects from the Avenir Museum’s permanent collection and presenting content from the Historic Textiles undergraduate course, this exhibition furthers the Avenir Museum’s mission of teaching all of our community, within and beyond the classroom, through the lens of historic textiles and clothing. Visitors will learn more about what it means to have a teaching collection, the role of a campus museum to teach both the students and the larger community, and the importance of interpreting textiles and clothing from an inclusive perspective.

REMINGTON STREET Museum Hours / FREE and open to the public The Avenir Gallery in the University Center for the Arts at 1400 Remington Street (UCA 115) features the exhibition below, on the following schedule: Monday – Friday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Closed national and university holidays, and December 27 & 28, 2018. And That’s A Wrap: Stories of the Manila Shawl Feb 4 – June 28, 2019 The word 'shawl' refers to an article of clothing worn as an outer wrap mostly by women; before the mid-17th century, there was no such word in the English language. It was not until trade goods from China included richly decorated oblong pieces of fabric, that the name 'shawl' was assigned to an article of clothing. Come explore the rich history of one of these vibrant textiles, the 'Manila Shawl'—it is a story spanning three centuries and the globe, with tales of trade on the high seas, Victorian excess, and whirling Flamenco dancers. 42

She joins us at CSU's Avenir Museum to speak about her experiences curating exhibitions of Dior couture around the world. April 4 - Teaching with Textiles What does it mean that the Avenir Museum has a “teaching collection”? Avenir Museum Curator Katie Knowles will discuss how the museum’s collection is integral to the Historic Textiles course she teaches in the Department of Design and Merchandising, and how textiles can be used in the classroom to teach CSU’s Principles of Community: Inclusion; Integrity; Respect; Service; Social Justice.

CLARA HATTON GALLERY Museum Hours / Always FREE and open to the public Gallery Hours: Monday–Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Located in the Visual Arts Building on West Pitkin hatton.colostate.edu Patrick Kikut: Square States January 28–March 1 Exhibition reception: February 6, 5–7 p.m. Artist Lecture: February 6, 4–5 p.m. “For the last 30 years, I have been exploring and producing studio work that is inspired by my travels throughout the West. I consider the whole of the West as my ‘artistic neighborhood.’ Geographically speaking, I define this as an area that reaches from Great Falls, Montana in the North, to Reno, Nevada in the West, down South to Marfa, Texas, and out to Dodge City, Kansas to the East. As I explore this vast landscape I have engaged in the interaction of our ever-encroaching culture upon the edges of wilderness. This ‘tidal zone’ between culture and nature is far from the awe-inspiring screenshot perfection found in our national parks, monuments, and forests. Here, behind the truck stops, and wind-damaged billboards, I discover discarded big gulps, busted tool boxes, and wrecked derby cars scattered over the parking lot and onto the dry and frozen land. Often these landscapes read like empty stage sets where props are strewn about as the actors have finished their narrative and exited the scene. In this body of work I hope that a viewer can enter into these spaces and get a sense of the rugged and enduring beauty of the West as well as our persistent attempts to exploit and survive on a landscape that is mostly inhospitable and unsustainable for the huge demands of our contemporary culture.” —Patrick Kikut
