Invocation is Pakistani-born jazz guitarist Rez Abbasi’s quintet featuring pianist Vijay Iyer and saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa. In this performance at Baldwin Auditorium, the quintet unveils a new project that explores Carnatic classical music from Southern India through the idiom of jazz. This is the final installment in a triptych made by Abbasi that puts a jazz lens on the musical traditions of South Asia; Invocation previously explored Hindustani music and qawwali in a pair of critically acclaimed recordings. All About Jazz calls Abassi’s music “neither Eastern nor Western, but effortlessly global … proof that jazz can be as vital and boundary-pushing as ever.”
Abbasi — along with Iyer and Mahanthappa — is one of a trio of jazz musicians who are forging distinctly South Asianinflected voices on the contemporary scene. Abbasi comes to this endeavor honestly: he is one of the foremost guitar players in modern jazz, a product of the Manhattan School of Music, and early in his career he made a pilgrimage to India to study intensively with tabla master Ustad Alla Rakha, father of Zakir Hussain. The mission of Invocation’s music, Abbasi declares, is “to create a global-based music steeped in jazz. This tradition follows in the footsteps of some of the greatest jazz musicians. Coltrane, Ellington, and Gillespie all immersed themselves in music from around the world.”
This performance of Rez Abbasi’s Invocation, presented in collaboration with Asia Society and Walker Art Center, is supported by Presenter Consortium for Jazz, a program of Chamber Music America funded through the generosity of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. SPRING 2016

When Paris-based Thymos Quartet visited the United States in 2012, The Washington Post called their Kennedy Center performance “detailed down to the last atom, and overflowing with human experience.” The Thymos visit Durham with a program of Schubert and French composer Olivier Dejours. They are joined by the elegant pianist and conductor Christoph Eschenbach, hailed by the Los Angeles Times for his “crystalline tone” and “hypnotic rhythmic animation” in his interpretations of the music of Schubert.
Acclaimed and adventurous artists Jennifer Koh (violin) and Shai Wosner (piano) come together for a performance of Beethoven sonatas for piano and violin. The New York Times declared that “Mr. Wosner’s singing tone and expressive musicality complemented Ms. Koh’s insightful, richly hued playing.” The San Jose Mercury News raved of a recent concert that “Koh’s impetuous, bright-toned phrasing was attractively set against Wosner’s flowing, articulate pianism; the [two musicians] deftly captured Beethoven’s high-spirited mix of wit and turbulence.”
Opening the evening is Schubert’s Quartet No. 13, “Rosamunde,” written during the composer’s hiatus from writing art song to focus on larger-scale works. This is followed by the world premiere of Olivier Dejours’ String Quartet no. 17, a work that embodies Schubertian melodic values. The concert culminates in Schubert’s enduringly popular “Trout” Quintet, featuring a final movement that spins seemingly infinite variations from the melody of a single Lied. PROGRAM:
The concert opens with Beethoven’s blithe early Sonata for Piano and Violin in D Major and closes with his monumental “Kreutzer” Sonata. Koh and Wosner’s rendition of the “Kreutzer” has been called “vivid and tenderhearted … Wosner’s silky elegance and Koh’s more extroverted musical demeanor made a wondrous combination” (SF Gate). Bookended by the Beethoven works is a new composition from GRAMMYnominated composer, jazz pianist, and MacArthur Fellow Vijay Iyer, written in conversation with the “Kreutzer” Sonata.

Hailed by The Washington Post for their “expressive power and spontaneous grace,” the nine-voice men’s choir Cantus was founded in 1995 when its members were students at St. Olaf College in Minnesota. Singing without a conductor, their trademark warmth, blend, and engaging performances have earned them accolades from the likes of the Los Angeles Times: “They revel in a heft of sound hardly imagined possible from nine men singing without accompaniment.”

Filter Theatre is quickly gaining a reputation as one of London’s boldest and most inventive young Shakespeare ensembles. The Daily Telegraph praises their “work that dazzles the eye, enchants the ear, and stimulates both the mind and heart.” Duke Performances hosts Filter’s radically cut, fast-paced version of Shakespeare’s much-loved comedy, Twelfth Night, where iconic verse meets madcap production.
In this pre-Valentine’s Day concert, Cantus bring their unity and purity of sound to a program of songs about the four loves of ancient Greek tradition. Highlights include Eric Whitacre’s ethereal Lux Aurumque, Gerald Finzi’s romantic Thou Didst Delight My Eyes, and Grieg’s rousing Brothers, Sing On! Cantus have also commissioned four new works for this program from composers David Lang, Roger Treece, Ysaye Barnwell, and Joseph Gregorio.
The classic farcical story of romance and mistaken identity is combined with Filter’s dynamic narrative drive and a torrent of sound and music to create one of the most entertaining and accessible Shakespeare productions of recent years. The Sunday Times raves, “The most hardhearted purists would melt at Filter’s ninety-minute reworking of this play, directed with passion, panache, and precision. This is not a send-up; it’s a celebration — mad, wild, loving, and hilarious.”
PROGRAM:
Cantus’ program includes works from a wide range of composers — among them Poulenc, Eric Whitacre, Grieg, Beethoven, and Janáček — on the theme of the four loves of ancient Greek tradition. For complete program, please visit dukeperformances.org

Ghanaian-American rapper Blitz the Ambassador makes no bones about his mission. He blends elements of Ghanaian highlife with the fiercest and most socially engaged ’90s hip-hop, drawing inspiration from the supercharged rhythms of Fela Kuti and the thunderous delivery of his hero Chuck D. The result is a pointed commentary about Africa and America that is at once smart and outrageously danceable. “Blitz is one of the leading voices in the growing movement connecting the classic sound of American hip-hop with stories and musical traditions of Africa and the African diaspora” (Afropop Worldwide).
The recent emergence of the Denmarkand Norway-based Danish String Quartet has brought a fresh voice to the world of chamber music. Having played together since the age of fifteen, they tackle a remarkable variety of repertoire — Brahms, Nielsen, Scandinavian folk tunes, jazz standards — with equal thoughtfulness and rigor. The Danish String Quartet recently performed on NPR’s popular Tiny Desk Concerts series, where they were lauded for their “warmth, wit, beautiful tone, and technical prowess.” In Durham, these four exceptional and energetic players dive into an allBeethoven program, starting with the composer’s mastery of the form in op. 18 and culminating in the complexity and emotional depth of two of his colossal late quartets, op. 135 and op. 131. The latter is routinely considered Beethoven’s most strikingly innovative achievement, with its nearly improvisatory wanderings between permutations of its central themes. Stravinsky once called it “perfect, inevitable, inalterable.”
Blitz is backed here by a seven-piece band in the intimate nightclub setting of Motorco Music Hall, a venue perfectly suited to his “sonic fireworks, horn stabs, and percussive rumbles” (NPR). Blitz’s latest release, Afropolitan Dreams, chronicles life as an African artist in America, faced with the constant hustle between two different worlds. Blitz, with his rapper’s winning bravado, describes how he’s going to make it big: by dreaming large, working hard, and flowing indefatigably.

Beethoven: String Quartet No. 6 in B-flat Major, op. 18

Abraham.In.Motion is the company of director and choreographer Kyle Abraham. A modern renaissance man, Abraham trained as a classical cellist and visual artist before turning his focus to contemporary dance. He is a MacArthur “Genius” and a recipient of both Princess Grace and Jacob’s Pillow Dance Awards. Dance Magazine praises his highly musical style, which “brings buried rhythms to the surface in swaths of luscious yet intricate movement.”
Abraham’s virtuosic ensemble of eleven dancers perform his latest work, When the Wolves Came In, at Reynolds Industries Theater. The work examines two triumphs of international civil rights: Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the abolishment of apartheid in South Africa. Anchored by the music of Robert Glasper and by the visuals of Glenn Ligon, When the Wolves Came In is a stylistic leap forward and a compelling new chapter for this modern dance visionary.
“Abraham has established a singular choreographic style and creative vision for exploring important contemporary issues with a clarity and beauty that resonates with a wide range of audiences.” (MacArthur Fellows Citation) SPRING 2016

Twenty-eight-year-old Russian-born pianist Igor Levit has experienced a meteoric rise over the last twelve months. His debut recording for Sony Classical boldly tackled the final three Beethoven sonatas, a rare undertaking for such a young artist. The New Yorker’s Alex Ross said of the recordings, “I was transfixed. Here was playing of technical brilliance, tonal allure, and intellectual drive.” Levit’s program spans two centuries, beginning with Bach’s Partita No. 4 from the composer’s last — and most technically demanding — set of keyboard suites. Levit then turns to the 19th century with Schubert’s complete Moments Musicaux and Beethoven’s stormy early sonata op. 31, no. 2. The evening concludes with Prokofiev’s politically charged Sonata op. 83. Written in 1942 in response to his close friend’s murder at the hands of Stalin’s Secret Police, it ranks among Prokofiev’s most subversive and celebrated works for piano. PROGRAM:

To celebrate the 10 anniversary of the unclassifiable, outrageous, and universally acclaimed animated film The Triplets of Belleville, composer Benoît Charest leads the nine-piece Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville in a live performance of his original score in tandem with a screening of the film at Reynolds Theater. The film features a cascade of memorable characters: squareshouldered noir-era henchmen, an impossibly wiry Tour de France cyclist, and of course the three eponymous jazz-era divas. The New York Times calls it “a tour de force of ink-washed, crosshatched mischief, and unlikely sublimity.” th
Charest’s score is a modern spin on 1930s Parisian jazz, ranging from rollicking dance numbers to dusky chansons, including the Oscar-nominated tune “Belleville Rendez-vous.” This performance, developed as a special presentation for the Montreal Jazz Festival, comes complete with live jazz-age music, singing, dancing, and live Foley artist accompaniment. A deluxe film and music presentation fit for big and little kids alike.

Three great American songwriters share the stage for an intimate presentation of their finest songs. Patty Griffin, Sara Watkins, and Anaïs Mitchell have each spent the last decade developing some of the most distinctive voices in American roots music. In this special show, they will sing from their own catalogues, back each other vocally and instrumentally, and recount the stories behind the songs. Griffin is a songwriting titan, weaving folk, gospel, and anthemic country rock into her GRAMMYwinning catalogue. She “digs deep into introspective lyrics… [using] the silence between notes to create shimmering music you won’t soon forget” (American Songwriter). Watkins, a founding member of progressive bluegrass band Nickel Creek, has released two solo albums on Nonesuch to critical acclaim, and Mitchell is a Vermont-bred maverick whom The Independent on Sunday calls “the most original artist working in the field of new American folk music.” This concert promises to be a rare and illuminating meeting of three exceptionally creative musicians.

Born and raised in Ankara, pianist and composer Fazil Say is one of the most distinctive artists to emerge from Turkey in the last twenty years. His works blend folk traditions from his homeland with elements of Western classical music. Say’s musical vocabulary, like the geography of his native country, is situated between Europe and Asia. Le Figaro raves, “Say is not merely a pianist of genius; undoubtedly he will be one of the greatest artists of the twenty-first century.”
Peter Rowan “is to country and bluegrass what Willie Nelson is to Country and Western: so deep in the traditions that the music seeps out of his pores” (San Francisco Chronicle). Both a traditionalist and an explorer, Rowan got his start in the 1960s as the lead vocalist and guitarist in Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys.
Ailey II, the young company of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, has been a showcase for talented emerging dancers and choreographers since 1974. Praised by The New Yorker for their “off-the-charts energy,” and called “second to none” by Dance Magazine, the dancers of Ailey II are led by Artistic Director Troy Powell, a former dancer in and choreographer for both Ailey II and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. This special performance is presented by the Office of Black Church Studies at Duke Divinity School in association with Duke Performances.
The program is half Mozart and half Say’s original work. Say begins with two Mozart sonatas, K. 331 and 332, written in Vienna. The final movement of K. 331, uncoincidentally known as “Alla Turca,” features a march evoking an Ottoman Janissary band. After intermission, Say treats the audience to three pieces of his own, including a set of Jazz Fantasies based on Mozart’s march.
When roots music became popular and spread from the American South throughout the country, Rowan formed the marquis bluegrass quartet Old and In the Way with Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, and Vassar Clements. His flatpicking style and belted harmonies have become influential ingredients of the bluegrass canon over the last thirty years. Rowan’s performance at Baldwin Auditorium alongside his traditional combo will showcase his mastery of a beloved American art form.
PROGRAM:
Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 11 in A Major, K. 331 Mozart: Piano Sonata No. 12 in F Major, K. 332
The dancers of Ailey II offer a program anchored by Alvin Ailey’s quintessential signature piece Revelations, the most widely seen modern dance work in the world, celebrated by longtime New York Times dance critic Anna Kisselgoff as the choreographer’s “great masterpiece,” and praised by the Boston Herald as “one of the most sublime dances ever choreographed.” Revelations explores the sorrow and the jubilation of African American cultural heritage through dances set to spirituals, gospel songs, and holy blues. In addition to Revelations, the program will draw on new works and standard repertory, to be announced early in 2016.
Fazil Say: Gezi Park 2, Sonata for Piano Presented by the Office of Black Church Studies at Duke Divinity School, Duke Initiatives in Theology and the Arts, and the Department of African & African American Studies, in association with Duke Performances.

Born to Puerto Rican parents, raised in the Bronx, and now a resident of New Orleans, Alynda Lee Segarra fronts Hurray for the Riff Raff, a five-piece band that is equal parts jangly blues and gothtinged Americana, with Segarra’s warm alto voice at the center. The group visits Duke Performances with an evening of music drawing from their breakthrough record Small Town Heroes, released on ATO Records in 2014. Since that release, Hurray for the Riff Raff have benefited from an increased profile, including features on NPR and in The New York Times, as well as appearances in Lincoln Center’s American Songbook series and on the Newport Folk Festival’s main stage. Gramophone exclaims, “Hurray for the Riff Raff’s junkyard folk is stubborn, melancholy, and beautifully played. They are the perfect soundtrack to your Southern gothic romance, a junebug serenade, a two-step bramble-bush waltz.”

In 2010, seven of New York City’s most sought-after and versatile instrumentalists connected over a shared love for Stravinsky’s magnificent L’Histoire du Soldat, and Deviant Septet was born. Scored for a high and low voice from each instrumental family — violin and bass, clarinet and bassoon, trumpet and trombone — plus percussion, the concert version of L’Histoire explores a unique and marvelous collection of sonic colors. Through a series of commissions, the “boisterously entertaining” (Lucid Culture) Deviant Septet is currently assembling new repertoire for their unusual instrumentation. At Duke Performances, the first half of their program will consist of brand new pieces by Duke Ph.D. student composers, developed over the course of the season while Deviant Septet are artists-in-residence at Duke. After intermission, they perform their signature rendition of Stravinsky’s masterful L’Histoire du Soldat.

The GRAMMY-winning Parker Quartet brings “pinpoint precision and a spectacular sense of urgency” (Boston Globe) to their broad repertoire and multitude of musical collaborations. Recently appointed Artists-in-Residence at Harvard University’s Department of Music, they are quickly becoming known as formidable interpreters of romantic and contemporary works. Beethoven’s op. 95 Quartet — which he called “Serioso” — is the shortest in his catalogue; compared to his late essays in the genre, it is a masterpiece of compactness and intensity. Op. 95 is followed by a new piece by Chicago composer Augusta Read Thomas, written in celebration of the MeselsonStahl DNA replication discovery in 1958. After intermission, the quartet is joined by their former mentor, GRAMMY-winning violist Kim Kashkashian, for Dvor�ák’s Quintet op. 97, written during his 1893 stay at a Bohemian enclave in Iowa.

Legendary singer and political activist Joan Baez has had a remarkable fiftyseven year career in music. She has been honored with a GRAMMY lifetime achievement award, inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame, and has eight gold records to her name. She made her breakthrough performance at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival, introduced Bob Dylan to the world at the Monterey Folk Festival in 1963, and performed at Woodstock in 1969. While she has written classic songs such as “Diamonds and Rust,” Baez is known first and foremost as an interpreter. She was the first musician to record “House of the Rising Sun,” and introduced now indelible songs by Phil Ochs, Leonard Cohen, and Paul Simon.
Conrad Tao began his musical career as a wunderkind. As a pre-teenager he appeared as both a violin and piano soloist with dozens of top-tier orchestras, and later received eight consecutive ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards. Now twenty-one, he has transitioned gracefully into a mature artist with interpretive depth well beyond his years. The Baltimore Sun declares, “Tao possesses startling technical élan and an ability to communicate clearly, no matter how thorny a score may become.” At Duke Performances, Tao plays a varied program of old favorites and new discoveries. The first half is anchored by American works: excerpts from North American Ballads by the iconoclastic contemporary composer Frederic Rzewski sit alongside Copland’s Piano Sonata. In the second half, Tao takes on Ravel’s Valses nobles et sentimentales, a set of waltzes at the intersection of impressionism and modernism, followed by Schumann’s Carnaval, each movement of which represents a different festal reveler.
Baez began her career at a pivotal moment in our country’s history, singing in support of the civil rights movement and in protest against the war in Vietnam. Continuing her activism through the ensuing decades while expanding her stylistic range, Baez has collaborated with musicians such as Steve Earle, Mary Chapin Carpenter, the Indigo Girls, and the Grateful Dead. Her instantly recognizable voice remains “warm and unhurried, her phrasing the most nuanced it’s ever been” (The Boston Globe). Don’t miss this once-in-ageneration artist at the newly renovated Page Auditorium.

Dublin’s The Gloaming are a five-piece ensemble featuring some of the world’s great Celtic musicians, including singer Iarla Ó Lionáird and Martin Hayes, “one of the best fiddlers on the planet” (San Francisco Chronicle). Rounding out the collaboration are hardanger fiddler Caoimhin Ó Raghallaigh; guitarist Dennis Cahill; and Brooklyn-based pianist and producer Thomas Bartlett, aka Doveman, best known for his work with The National, Grizzly Bear, and Nico Muhly. The Gloaming’s self-titled 2014 debut album was named one of the year’s best by NPR.
Singer Kassé Mady Diabaté is a descendant of the most distinguished griot family of the ancient Manding Empire, the Diabatés of Kéla. His name, alongside other griot legends Toumani Diabaté and Bassekou Kouyaté, signifies musical royalty in Mali. Over a five-decade career, Diabaté has brought his nuanced, stirring voice to a series of splendid recordings, including 2010’s GRAMMY-winning Afrocubism, and the collaborative record Kulanjan with Taj Mahal. Salif Keita calls him “the greatest singer in Mali.” Diabaté’s new record, Kiriké, is a return to Malian tradition. Diabaté is backed by a stripped-down acoustic band of n’goni, balafon, and kora, the latter played by the legendary Ballaké Sissoko. The Chicago Reader calls it “an intimate set” which “allows Diabaté’s voice to shine — an airy, refined balance of sweetness and soul, gentleness and force.” Diabaté promises an evocative performance at the exquisite Baldwin Auditorium: “This is like sitting in a Bamako compound late at night, under the stars, and being sung to person to person” (Arts Desk UK).
The Guardian raves of The Gloaming, “one can only marvel at the intuitive understanding between the five. But it’s not just jigs and reels that make them remarkable; the opening “Song 44” has more in common with post-rock than with Christy Moore. It’s a staggering display of both emotion and virtuosity.” At Baldwin Auditorium, The Gloaming summon this transfixing blend of musical influences for an evening that is at once visionary and firmly grounded in the rich musical traditions of Ireland.

The Emerson String Quartet have been lauded as “the one indispensible quartet” (Newsday). In their forty-year career they have made unparalleled contributions to American chamber music, amassed thirty recordings and nine GRAMMYs, and received induction into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame. They are frequent guests of the Chamber Arts Society, most recently having come to Duke Performances in 2013, when they were newly energized by the addition of cellist Paul Watkins.
The Chamber Arts Series offers a very special program set outside the boundaries of standard repertoire: the acclaimed Shanghai Quartet and pipa (Chinese lute) virtuoso Wu Man unite to perform three new pieces by contemporary Chinese composers for string quartet and pipa. Called “wonderfully ferocious and illuminating” by The Washington Post, the Shanghai are recognized for their unique fluency in both Eastern folk and Western Classical idioms. This program showcases their exceptional stylistic range with works by composer Tan Dun and a world premiere from the Shanghai’s own second violinist Yi-Wen Jiang. Tan, who achieved international fame for his score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, blends elements of Western avant-garde, Chinese opera, and sounds of nature into one of today’s most remarkable musical voices. The program concludes with Zhao Jiping & Zhao Lin’s Quintet for Pipa and String Quartet.
The evening’s program begins with Haydn’s tuneful “Emperor” Quartet, followed by Bartók’s densely beautiful Fourth Quartet, the five movements of which form a palindrome of tempo and intensity imbued with Hungarian folk tunes. Schubert’s posthumouslypublished Quartet in G is a fitting culmination not only of this concert, but also the 2015/16 Chamber Arts Series. This work finds the composer deeply engaged with modal mixture and slippery modulations. The effect is a winding, sometimes disorienting, and ultimately satisfying journey — a crowning achievement of First Viennese School chamber music.

In a special performance, Britain’s Orlando Consort accompany a screening of the landmark Carl Theodor Dreyer film La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (1928) with the music of Dufay, Binchois, and other fifteenth-century composers. For twentyfive years this five-voice ensemble has produced renaissance vocal music noted for its vibrancy and precision; The New York Times praises their “consummate mastery and refinement.”
Page Auditorium will be swept up in raucous celebration when two of today’s pre-eminent Balkan brass bands play an extraordinary double bill. Serbian-born Boban Markovic´ is widely considered the foremost trumpet virtuoso to emerge from the Balkans. His Boban Markovic´ Orkestar is a thirteen-piece ensemble featuring his son, trumpeter Marko Markovic´, a rising star. Wall Street Journal praises the Orkestar’s kitchen-sink aesthetic, which includes “Middle Eastern pentatonics, Yiddishkeit minor key moaning and wailing, Cubano-style clave, and even New Orleans funk backbeats.”
At Duke Performances, the Orlando Consort honor the rich and meticulous period detail of Dreyer’s depiction of medieval France with a vivid live soundtrack of motets and plainsong. To further link the film and music, they have selected only music that was composed during Joan of Arc’s lifetime: 1412-1431. Renée Falconetti’s rapturous performance as the title heroine in the movie remains a landmark in the history of cinema; even devoted fans of the film will find new depths in Dreyer’s masterpiece when it is coupled with the Orlando Consort’s deeply moving score.
Fanfare Cioca˘rlia, hailing from the Romanian village of Zece Pra˘jini, is a twelve-piece maelstrom of trumpets, tuba, clarinets, saxophones, and percussion. Noting their range of influences, from Duke Ellington to Balkan wedding music, The Guardian raves, “They were faster and more frantic than any other brass ensemble I can think of, but never lost control, and constantly and ingeniously varied the repertoire.” Don’t miss these two outstanding ensembles whose collaborative album Balkan Brass Battle was praised by AllMusic as “thrilling and packed with virtuosic playing.”
PROGRAM:
The Orlando Consort’s program includes music composed during the lifetime of St. Joan of Arc, including works by Dufay, Binchois, Estienne Grossin, Johannes Le Grant, and Johannes Tapissier. For complete program, please visit dukeperformances.org

Bang on a Can co-founder Michael Gordon, one of America’s most adventurous composers, writes music characterized by “vigor and hypnotic intensity” (The New York Times). Mantra Percussion and The Rushes Ensemble come to the Durham Fruit & Produce Company — a new downtown warehouse space dedicated to the arts — with a program of two of Gordon’s thematically-linked major works that have never before been presented in the United States in a single evening. Timber, for six percussionists playing two-by-fours — like you might buy at a lumber yard — creates a rhythmic atmosphere of overtones that The Boston Globe describes as “a halo, an ethereal aura of sound.” Rushes also makes inventive use of unusual resources: it is a reflective, sixtyminute tour de force scored for seven bassoons and partially inspired by the ethos of Timber. The pieces will be performed in adjacent spaces, separated by an intermission. In this immersive, site-specific experience, Gordon intends to create “a quasimeditative, almost ecstatic state in the listener as well as the performer.”

The Piano Recital Series closes with three-time GRAMMY-winning concert pianist Murray Perahia. As the protégé of Vladimir Horowitz, Perahia developed a sound that is at once stately and incendiary, taking bold interpretive liberties without sacrificing precision, poise, or fidelity to the score. He has earned nine Gramophone Awards over thirty years for his recordings of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Chopin, composers who form the core of his repertoire. Perahia, who holds an honorary doctorate from Duke, has been performing on campus since his early twenties. The Chicago Tribune raves, “the commanding insights he brings to the essential keyboard repertory are more than enough to breathe freshness and distinction into works we’ve heard many times before, but seldom played at this inspired level.” Perahia’s program at Duke Performances will be finalized in early 2016; regardless of repertoire this promises to be a singular opportunity to hear one of the greatest living pianists in an close-up setting.

The eight-member GRAMMYwinning a cappella vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth explore the expressive power and range of the human voice in the Vocal Ensemble Series’ closing concert. Formed at Williams College by music professor Brad Wells, its members are classically trained singers who draw on techniques and genres as disparate as yodeling and Tuvan throat singing. The ensemble works closely with contemporary composers in creating an ecstatic, entirely commissioned repertoire. NPR declares, “their singing is fiercely beautiful and bravely, utterly exposed.” Caroline Shaw became the youngestever winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music for her piece Partita for 8 Voices, which she wrote for Roomful of Teeth (of which she is a member). Partita, a four-movement work fashioned after a baroque dance suite and inspired by a Sol LeWitt drawing, forms the backbone of this program at Baldwin Auditorium, alongside new pieces by New York City composers Judd Greenstein, Eric Dudley, and another recent Pulitzer awardee, Julia Wolfe.
