Season Opener
elcome to UApresents’ 2008-2009 season!
The process to create the season that unfolds in the pages of this brochure began in the summer of 2007 and involved months of planning and meetings, thousands of emails and hundreds of phone calls. I am grateful to the many people who have collaborated on this exceptional season — the talented UApresents staff, our dedicated Advisory Board and its Programming Committee, colleagues within the University and fellow performing arts centers. Our season opener promises to be a soulful, horn-fueled evening of classic Motown hits featuring legendary vocalist Mary Wilson of The Supremes and the original Motown band, The Funk Brothers. The season continues with violin virtuosos Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and Gil Shaham and the rare appearance of both Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Joffrey Ballet within one season. We welcome soul and blues icon Etta James, vocalist k.d. lang, Broadway stars Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin and a special return engagement of STOMP. The season offers Cuban rhythms, Indian masters, a Celtic celebration, an African spectacular and breathtaking Chinese acrobats. Comedienne Paula Poundstone will make you laugh and a holiday event brings a very special message.
Natalie Bohnet, Executive Director, UApresents

s I continue to enjoy living in Tucson and learning of our rich heritage in Southern Arizona, the more I am impressed by UApresents. The quality of artists performing for UApresents rivals that of any performing arts center in the country. The opportunity to experience world-class artists is not just limited to you, our valued subscribers and patrons. This cultural asset extends to UA students, faculty and staff. Special discounts make performances accessible to seniors, members of the military and groups. An aspect of UApresents of which I am most proud is their outreach to 12,000 school children from across Southern Arizona who attend UApresents’ School Matinees each year. For many of these children, it is their first exposure to the performing arts and it may be their first time on the campus of The University of Arizona. For all of us, UApresents represents a cultural and educational asset that helps us leap beyond borders, beyond limitations, toward the fullness of human potential.

Special Events
Season Opener A MOTOWN CELEBRATION featuring Mary Wilson of The Supremes and The Funk Brothers
Friday, October 3 at 8pm Tickets: $65, $55, $35, $25 Students/Faculty & Staff: $65, $55, $32, $10 UApresents toasts the 2008-2009 season with a celebration of Motown’s greatest hits and the legendary artists who recorded them. An original Dreamgirl and founding member of The Supremes, Mary Wilson was just 13 when she and her best friends formed the group that would rocket to the top of the charts. The Supremes were the first all-girl super-group, challenging even the dominance of The Beatles. Wilson’s “spring water alto,” rich with emotion and fire, is as vibrant as ever. Considered the greatest hit machine in the history of popular music, The Funk Brothers played on virtually every classic song during Motown’s golden era, rolling out masterpieces and helping to shape the songs of Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Supremes and many others — performing on more #1 songs than The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley combined.
PAULA POUNDSTONE
Friday, September 5 at 8pm Tickets: $32, $25, $18 Students/Faculty & Staff: $32, $23, $10 Appearing on stage with a stool, a microphone and a can of diet soda, Paula Poundstone is known for her razor-sharp wit and spontaneity. The Boston Globe said, “Poundstone improvises with a crowd like a Jazz musician…swinging in unexpected directions without a plan, without a net.” She is so quick and unassuming that audience members leave her performances with their cheeks hurting from laughter. Her off-kilter sensibility and impeccable timing make her a perfect fit for NPR’s weekly news quiz program, “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” on which she has been a regular panelist for seven years.

Tickets: $66, $46, $26 Students/Faculty & Staff: $66, $41, $10 For 25 years she has lent her voice to a wide range of material, from Nashville tearjerkers to Tin Pan Alley torch songs, from playful cow-punk tunes to sultry, grownup ballads. Her early music recalls Patsy Cline, whose crossover appeal inspired her own. Variety proclaims, “lang’s voice is pristine and remarkably supple.” Watershed, her first new album of original material in eight years, is perhaps her most confident and revealing work. USA Today calls the album, “a gorgeous collection of spare, intimate ballads, delivered with her usual poise and understated passion.” Rolling Stone calls her “gifted” and says the album is, “first-rate singer-songwriter music.” The artist will donate $1 for every ticket sold to benefit Ari Bhöd/The American Foundation for Tibetan Cultural Preservation.

Perhaps the best radio and television host in America, The New York Times proclaims Glass “a storyteller who filters his interviews and impressions through a distinctive literary imagination, an eccentric intelligence, and a sympathetic heart.” Mastermind, affable anchor and producer of the hit show “This American Life,” he travels the country meeting everyday people from all walks of life telling “unexpected stories that happen to be true.” With easy wit and empathy for his subjects, he touches the pulse of our times, sharing some of his favorite stories that, as The Nation declares, “float right into your brain and lodge there.”

Celebrated for its youthful exuberance and all-Italian brio, this Venetian chamber ensemble sold out its 2007 UApresents performance. Playing cherished period instruments as old as the compositions themselves, each piece is invested with vitality and new life. Solo virtuosity and ensemble artistry have won them an enthusiastic following in venues throughout the world. Venice’s own historic Church of San Vidal, where Antonio Vivaldi regularly performed, is the ensemble’s headquarters and where they perform more than 200 concerts a year.

Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg’s fiery intensity and Anne-Marie McDermott’s sensitive spirituality converge in a formidable pairing. Bringing “considerable energy and emotional rawness to the music at hand…they listened to each other and were committed, expressive performers,” wrote The New York Times. Dynamic, original and daring, one of the world’s pre-eminent violinists, Salerno-Sonnenberg was the subject of the 2000 Academy Award-nominated film, Speaking in Strings. McDermott is a luminous, boldly emotive pianist who conveys the message of the composer in deeply felt, spontaneous playing.
The Washington Post hails Sejong as “a top-notch conductor-less string orchestra.” Comprised of today’s leading young soloists, the New York-based ensemble is renowned for its cohesiveness, beautiful sound and refreshing style. They will be joined by one of the most sought-after virtuoso violinists of our time, Gil Shaham, who The New York Times calls, “one of today’s pre-eminent violinists.” With multiple Grammy awards among his numerous prizes, Shaham provides audiences with the rare opportunity to experience the eloquence of his 1699 “Countess Polignac” Stradivarius.

Tickets: $15, $12, $8 • Students/Faculty & Staff: $15, $11, $8 Event Sponsors: Jerome and Elayne Feder Set in a jungle with animals as its characters, this sprightly, colorful new family musical tells the story of how one good deed inspired a most unusual friendship. Based on the children’s book inspired by the Aesop fable “The Ant and the Dove,” The Ant and the Elephant was written and illustrated by Bill Peet, one of Walt Disney’s favorite story men. Now, the creative team of last season’s family favorite The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley brings this unique fable to life.
The world-famous Joffrey Ballet was the first dance company to perform at the White House, the first on television and the first American company to tour the former Soviet Union. Founded in 1956, it has toured more than any ballet company and has performed in over 400 cities around the world and in all 50 United States. This season, Centennial Hall is one of only four venues in the U.S. to experience the only quintessentially American ballet company outside its Chicago home. With one of the world’s largest repertoires of historical ballets as well as groundbreaking works, under the direction of Ashley C. Wheater, The Los Angeles Times raves the Company is, “superbly fit, fresh and ready.”

A genuine Christmas miracle graced World War I soldiers when a group of German troops crossed battle lines to unite with their British enemies in joyful camaraderie and song. The story is related in intimate, heartfelt letters from the muddy trenches of France and Belgium. Minneapolis men’s choir Cantus and Theater Latté Da bring the miracle to life, narrating from the letters, sharing the songs and restoring the hope. Mpls.St.Paul Magazine writes, “dramatic, real-life musing about the power this season has to make us stop, reflect, and decide to operate in a mode of peace. . . .”

The naked intensity and bold passion of Etta James’ blues singing is legendary, but its power so shatters genre boundaries that even the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame claimed her, citing her “raw, unharnessed vocals and hot-blooded eroticism.” A Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award-winner, James “still plays it sexy, brash and streetwise,” proclaims The New York Times. With hits including “Tell Mama” and “At Last,” she sings the truth of a song like no one since Billie Holiday. Blues-rock guitar virtuoso, vocalist and songwriter Joe Bonamassa fuses electric British, traditional Delta and Chicago blues into soul-riveting original material. B.B. King said of him, “unbelievable…he is one of a kind.“

Combining the most popular Russian instruments such as the domra, balalaika and bayan with electric guitars and drums, this show will captivate audiences of all ages.
Wild, spiritual, provocative, reflective and ecstatically danceable, The Klezmatics fully embrace their Jewish heritage. Their music’s essential historical and cultural foundations are a springboard to ambitious new hybrids integrating jazz, gospel, Arab, African and classical influences. The evening will feature selections from Wonder Wheel, a collection of Woody Guthrie’s previously unrecorded Coney Island-inspired Jewish-themed lyrics for which they won a Grammy. Billboard says “. . .The Klezmatics prove themselves to be sensitive interpreters of any artistic language they choose.”
LILA DOWNS
Saturday, April 11 at 8pm Tickets: $42, $30, $18 Students/Faculty & Staff: $42, $27, $10 Event Sponsor: Natalie Bohnet The daughter of a Mixtec Indian mother and an American father, singer and songwriter Lila Downs captures the mosaic of voices of Mexico. She sings in the native languages of Mixtec, Zapotec, Maya and Nahuatl, combining honkey-tonk and blues with rap and ranchera to relate the stories in the hearts and minds of the common people. Invoking struggles, lost loves and legends, Downs returns to Centennial Hall, promising to reinvigorate the soul with her smoldering passion and “earth and fire vocals” – The Seattle Times.

“Unforgettably hot dancing burned this performance into memory,” raves The Washington Post. Flamenco Vivo bridges cultures around the world to push the boundaries of traditional flamenco, infusing it with fresh energy and excitement. Artistic Director and founder Carlota Santana conjures vibrant performances from an everexpanding repertoire of new music, original dramatic works and a bold mixture of dance vocabularies, including Hispanic-American influences. It’s no wonder Dance Magazine named Santana “The Keeper of Flamenco.” Event Sponsor:

Explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy, utterly unique — STOMP appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews, and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments — matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters and hubcaps — to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. As USA Today says, “STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places.” See what all the noise is about.
