MAVIS STAPLES
Friday, November 8, 2013 . 8PM Kay Theatre . $50/$40 subscriber
Rhythm & blues and gospel legend Mavis Staples brings her trailblazing style and distinctive smoldering voice to the Center for the first time this season. Staples’s career began in the 1950s when her family’s iconic gospel-folk group, e Staple Singers, became a popular household name with hits such as “I’ll Take You ere” and “Respect Yourself.” eir spiritual and political sound became voices of the civil rights movement alongside Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Decades later, Staples’s notable collaborations as a solo artist include Ray Charles, Natalie Merchant, Bob Dylan, Prince and Wilco. About her songs she says, “ey’re about the world today — poverty, jobs, welfare, all of that — and making it feel better through these songs.” Staples has been said to have “an almost superhuman ability to implant the pure power of passion and emotion” (Rolling Stone).

BLIND SUMMIT e Table
November 20 – 22, 2013 . 8PM Kogod Theatre . $35/$28 subscriber
e Center continues its tradition of innovative puppet presentations with Blind Summit eatre in e Table. Intended to be a theatrical interpretation of the story of Moses — in real time — e Table is performed by a grizzled, crotchety old man. But the grumpy puppet narrator strays far from the planned storyline and winds up playing out his own comedic, existential crisis as the puppeteers improvise and interact with each other and the audience. e show is done in the Bunraku style, with multiple puppeteers visible to the audience, and is performed completely on the table top. Blind Summit’s puppeteers breathe poignant life into their characters and using humor and improvisation, show us something of ourselves in the cardboard, wood and fabric creations onstage. Recommended for audiences over the age of 12 for strong language. This performance is supported, in part, by the Henson Endowment for Performing Arts.

Olivier Messiaen was commissioned by the French government to write a piece commemorating the dead of the Second World War. In Messiaen’s words, “I am a Catholic and I believe in neither war nor death. I therefore decided to write a piece about life.” e result was his monumental Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, the centerpiece of this program. It is regarded as one of his most important works and one of the monumental works of the 20th century. Other works include Francis Poulenc’s Suite Francaise and Mozart’s Serenade in C Minor.

SPRING AWAKENING
MUSIC IN MIND: PERCEPTIONS REDEFINED
Spring Awakening is based on a controversial 1891 play by German playwright Frank Wedekind, which was banned for a time in Germany because of its frank portrayal of abortion, homosexuality, rape, child abuse and suicide. e rock musical caused a sensation when it premiered on Broadway in 2006. Set in late 19th-century Germany, it tells the story of teenagers discovering the inner and outer tumult of sexuality. Alternative and folk-infused rock music capture and reflect the emotional essence of the timeless experience of coming of age.
Faculty pianist Mayron Tsong, with Jeffrey Zeigler, former Kronos Quartet cellist, lighting designer Tim McLoraine, and percussion faculty member Lee Hinkle will present Perceptions Redefined — a performance designed to explore the boundaries of the concert experience by merging music of the 20th and 21st centuries with visual projections in a seamless continuum. e program includes Glaub, a work for solo cello by Philipe Perez Santiago; David Land’s Prayer for piano, cello and percussion; China Gates by John Adams; and Four Haiku by UMD School of Music Director Robert Gibson. Projections by Tim McLoraine will present a performance designed to explore the boundaries of the concert experience by merging music and image in a seamless continuum.

Appalachian Spring
James Ross, music director Liz Lerman, movement design Sunday, May 4, 2014 . 4PM Dekelboum Concert Hall $35/$24 subscriber
Witty pranksters, straying spouses, and lilting melodies — it’s the ultimate Viennese confection. In Strauss’s beloved 1874 operetta, revenge for a cruel trick leads to a woman sending her lover to jail under her husband’s name, a man attempting to seduce his own wife (disguised as a Hungarian countess), and a chambermaid masquerading as a lady of quality. e complications get straightened out in a prison run by a drunken jailer, all to the sparkling music of the great Viennese master.
Continuing their exploration of the relationship between movement and music, UMSO musicians will take a choreographic approach to Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring. e orchestra members will perform the work from memory with movement design from UMD alumna and renowned choreographer Liz Lerman.

In An Iliad, actor Denis O’Hare and director Lisa Peterson telescope Homer’s great poem about the Trojan War into an intimate solo show illuminating both the heroism and the horror of warfare. Set in a contemporary milieu, the one-man performance stars an ageless Greek singer and poet. e script is rendered in contemporary vernacular language with occasional snatches of verse and even a few bellowed lines in Homer’s original Greek. e play’s sole narrator, a battered-looking character who claims to have been recounting the yarn throughout the ages, combines the reverence and mystery of ancient Greek mythology with the dynamic urban rhythms of contemporary life.
