WELCOME

Welcome back to Modlin Center for the Arts! I am grateful for this opportunity to be together again and thrilled with the season we have put together because I know that every artist can—and will—create unforgettable moments.

Across our 2022-2023 season, you will find artists from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, with an emphasis on BIPOC and women-led companies. And you will discover a range of stories, dance, and music of many different genres—some familiar, others new. Each performance is a unique window into the human experience, which I hope will open new paths for conversation and connection.

As the season continues, I look forward to visiting with you in the lobby and hearing about your experiences at the Modlin Center. We want you to be a part of the Modlin community. The Department of Music Free Concert Series and UR Free Theatre and Dance season add 30+ additional opportunities to see compelling performances. And UR Museums host exhibitions and programs that are free and open to the public. Thank you for being with us.

Rosanne Cash

She Remembers Everything, Rosanne’s Cash’s highly anticipated follow up to her triple Grammy-winning masterpiece The River & The Thread is a powerfully insightful and strikingly universal collection of new songs. Both confessional and cathartic the material reverberates with an urgency of a woman who has found and owns her story and her voice and who is driven to speak when time feels ever shorter. Songs from this new album will be

featured in concert along with gems from her recent Americana classics (The List, and The River & The Thread) and selections from her storied career which was profiled in the recent Ken Burns Documentary film, Country Music, broadcast on PBS. One of the country’s pre-eminent singersongwriters, Rosanne Cash has released 15 albums of extraordinary songs that have earned four Grammy Awards and 12 additional nominations.

Cash is also an author whose four books include the best-selling memoir Composed, which the Chicago Tribune called “one of the best accounts of an American life you’ll likely ever read.” Her essays have appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Oxford American, The Nation, and many more print and online publications. Her most recent book, Bird on a Blade (2018), was published by University of Texas Press, combining images by acclaimed artist Dan Rizzie with Cash’s lyrics.

In addition to regular touring, Cash has partnered in programming collaborations with Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, SFJAZZ, the Minnesota Orchestra, and the Library of Congress. She served as artist-in-residence at New York University last year. In 2017–2018, she was a resident artistic director at SFJAZZ and will continue her partnership with them in 2022/23. Along with many other honors and awards, Cash received the 2021 Edward MacDowell Medal, awarded since 1960 to an artist who has made an outstanding contribution to American culture. She is the first woman composer to receive this prestigious honor.

‘I consider artists to be in the service industry; the premier service industry for the heart and soul. I am curious to a pathological degree and the Sword of Time hangs over me, and those two things— curiosity and the hourglass— make me feel more urgent than ever to connect, to find community, and to create. It doesn’t matter what the world thinks, it only matters that what is unsaid and what is unseen is given form and has a voice.’
