The Jesuit Educational Tradition and the Arts DEAR LOYOLA ALUMNI, PARENTS, AND FRIENDS,

This year’s Montage series coincides with the opening celebrations of Loyola University New Orleans’ centennial. To mark this important occasion, we have chosen as our College’s theme the crucial role of the arts in the Jesuit educational tradition. From our first events in September through the end of the academic year, we will bring the greater New Orleans community dozens of outstanding performances, exhibitions, lectures, and masterclasses.

Whether you are a lover of music, theatre, dance, or the visual arts, you will find something special in this year’s Montage calendar.

The Jesuits have been using the arts as a vehicle for educational enlightenment since the sixteenth century. Loyola’s College of Music and Fine Arts continues this tradition, which we will showcase during this year’s Montage season not only in our artistic productions, but also in our educational events. Along with offering our usual array of exciting musical performances, theatrical and dance productions, and artistic exhibits, we have slated a robust schedule of special lectures and other activities that highlight our distinguished music therapy and education programs.

Through a special grant from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation, we will expand our spring Jazz Festival, which will include participation by local schools and artists. Our Invitational Band Festival will feature Loyola’s nationally known windensemble, and conclude with a final grand concert where talented high school musicians from around Louisiana and beyond join forces with our gifted students.

We will increase our outreach to young actors and actresses in our unique “Celebrating the Stage” program for the youth of this area, and also the special work of our faculty and visiting artists in their efforts to educate young musicians, actors, dancers, and artists.

Please join us again this year—I look forward to seeing you at Montage!

Sincerely,

Donald R. Boomgaarden, Ph.D. Dean, College of Music and Fine Arts David P. Swanzy Distinguished Professor of Music

Last year’s Montage theme, the commemoration of the arrival of the Jesuits to New France in 1610, allowed us to bring a number of remarkable and well received events to campus. This year’s theme features a year-long celebration of the Jesuit educational tradition and the arts.

Very Reverend Adolfo Nicolás, S.J., Superior General of the Society of Jesus, has spoken eloquently on the challenge of encouraging our young people to develop their creativity and love of beauty. He noted that a Jesuit education today must promote depth of thought and imagination, particularly because we live in a world marked by an overuse and overreliance on technology: “The globalization of superficiality challenges Jesuit higher education to promote in creative new ways the depth of thought and imagination that are distinguishing marks of the Ignatian tradition.”

The College of Music and Fine Arts will strive in 2011-2012 to highlight our special efforts to meet the critical challenges which Very Reverend Adolfo Nicolás, S.J. mentions above.

Our work to promote values, justice, intellectual excellence, and creative thought will be showcased not only in our artistic productions, but also in our educational events.

JANUARY 2012 Jacques Offenbach's

The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein Jacques Offenbach’s The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein premiered in Paris in 1867, with a virtual “who’s who” of European royalty in attendance. Although it was a controversial burlesque of the German military, the operetta was instantly popular and became the composer’s greatest world-wide hit, a landmark in French theatrical history. Grand Duchess was one of several Offenbach works to be performed at the French Opera House in New Orleans during the 1867–68 season and was programmed frequently throughout the 19th century. Loyola’s new production will be the first local revival since that time. Join the Duchess, General Boum, the lovers Fritz and Wanda, and a lively chorus of peasants and soldiers for an evening of stirring and tuneful music, including the rousing Saber Song. Bill Fabris (The Pirates of Penzance, 2010) returns as stage director/ choreographer, and Carol Rausch is music director/conductor.

This performance is partially funded through the generous support of the J. Edgar and Louise S. Monroe Foundation.

The Indian Arts Circle of New Orleans presents

THE FLOWERING TREE Natya Dance Theatre brings alive this timeless folktale about respect for nature. Set to an original score, The Flowering Tree weaves the story of a young girl, Kumudha, and her sisters, who are ostracized by their community for being poor. Kumudha is given a mantra from the heavens that alleviates her sufferings and allows her to turn into a beautiful flowering tree. Reciting the mantra with respect and sanctity, Kumudha can become herself again, but the world around her takes advantage of her powerful gift.

THE PRIESTS Chart-topping recording sensations The Priests, a classical musical group of three Northern Ireland Catholic priests from the Diocese of Down and Connor, have delighted audiences around the globe.

Consisting of brothers Fr. Eugene and Fr. Martin O'Hagan and Fr. David Delargy, the group signed their first record deal with Sony/BMG in 2008 and recorded their selftitled debut album in Northern Ireland and in St. Peter’s Basilica, in the Vatican City.

The Priests have received worldwide acclaim and stellar ratings on Billboard’s classical music charts. They sold more than two million copies of their debut album at such a frantic pace it secured them a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest-selling classical debut of all time.

Proceeds will benefit the College of Music and Fine Arts and Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

CLASSES BEGIN

A Brief Overview of the Loyola University New Orleans College of Music and Fine Arts Dr. Ernest E. Schuyten, a violinist and former conductor of the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra, founded the New Orleans Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art in 1919. The New Orleans Conservatory, whose faculty members came from the New Orleans Symphony and other artistic institutions in the city, merged with Loyola University, and in September of 1932, became the College of Music. After Hurricane Katrina, two departments previously housed in the Loyola’s College of Arts and Sciences—theatre and visual arts—were added to the College of Music, creating the current College of Music and Fine Arts. It is the only college of the performing and visual arts of the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States. It has become a dynamic force in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region. The college employs more than 60 full-time faculty members and a large number of part-time faculty members, and includes 450 student music majors and nearly 200 majors in visual arts and theatre. Our graduates work in major orchestras, opera houses, ballet companies, recording and publishing companies, theaters, and art galleries throughout the world.
