2018-2019 CONCERTS IN THE COURT
JAZZ, CELTIC, AMERICANA, AND A ROCK AND ROLL LEGEND
BRIA SKONBERG QUINTET
WE BANJO 3
Saturday, November 3, 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, March 23, 7:30 p.m.
New York-based Canadian singer, trumpeter and songwriter Bria Skonberg has been described as one of the “most versatile and imposing musicians of her generation” —Wall Street Journal. Recognized as one of “25 for the Future” by DownBeat Magazine, she’s been called a daring force in the new generation of jazz artists with her bold horn melodies, smoky vocals, and adventurous concoctions of classic and new. Skonberg has played festivals and stages the world over, including New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, Newport Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, and more.
By fusing together the sounds of the banjo, fiddle, guitar and mandolin, We Banjo 3 has created their signature sound of “Celtgrass,” which could be described as the common ground between old world traditional Irish music and authentic Americana. The band’s rousing revelry, sheer virtuosity, power, passion and purpose have made them one of the music world’s most celebrated ensembles. Their imaginative sound has earned them a solid reputation on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
THE BUMPER JACKSONS
Saturday, December 1, 7:30 p.m. The Bumper Jacksons make music that is both hot and sweet, painting America’s story from the seductive sounds of New Orleans to the hollers of the Appalachian Mountains. Folding together early styles of jazz, blues, and country swing, they strike a bold yet elegant balance between paying homage to the traditional and creating their own singular sound. Bursting at the seams with rich threads of Americana, their playfully creative originals and reimagined roots music resound with an energy that forms the life of party.
Max Weinberg’s Jukebox
Saturday, April 27, 7:30 p.m.* Rock and Roll Hall of Fame drummer Max Weinberg, the driving rhythmic force that propels Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band, offers a truly interactive concert experience. Performing songs from the glory days of rock and roll, Weinberg invites the audience to create, in real time, the set list he and his crack fourpiece group will play that night. The audience gets to choose from a menu of over 200 songs, everything from the Beatles to the Stones to Bruce and The E Street Band’s biggest hits. Known to millions of fans for his 17-year stint as the bandleader and comedic foil to talk show host Conan O’Brien on NBC’s Late Night and The Tonight Show, Weinberg also has the distinction of being the drummer on two of the biggest-selling rock albums in history—Bruce Springsteen’s Born In The USA and Meatloaf’s Bat Out Of Hell.
All concerts will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Edward Wales Root Sculpture Court. Individual ticket prices for the first three Concerts in the Court are $26.50 for members, $31.50 for general admission and $16.50 for students. Flexible subscriptions are also available. The Museum of Art opens at 6:30 p.m. so patrons may view the current exhibitions, socialize and visit the Museum Shop. *Ticket prices for Max Weinberg’s Jukebox are $46.50 for members, $51.50 for general admission, and $21.50 for students. Tickets will also be available for a VIP Meet & Greet session for an additional $115 per person. The VIP Meet & Greet includes a photo-op with Mr. Weinberg and one personalized autograph. Concerts in the Court also feature a cash bar and special gallery talks at intermission. Contact the Performing Arts Ticket Office at 315-797-0055 or 1-800-754-0797 for more details. Tickets are also available online at mwpai.org.

Museum of Art Exhibitions KIMONO! THE ARTISTRY OF ITCHIKU KUBOTA
On view through September 16
Itchiku Kubota (1917-2003) created magnificent handcrafted kimono and transformed the traditional Japanese garment into artworks fashioned with a palette of radiant colors and breathtaking imagery inspired by nature. MWPAI is the sole venue in the United States to feature this international exhibition. Kimono! includes portions of Kubota’s most ambitious series, Symphony of Light, which envisioned a panorama of 80 contiguous kimono. Symphony was inspired by Kubota’s reverence for the ever-changing effects of light that, he said, “plunges everything into endlessly changing color.” Autumn, for example, forms part of a compositionally linked landscape that sweeps from one kimono to the next. Mountains covered in russet-colored leaves and a lake shimmering in the light of a setting sun gradually transform into an austere scene veiled by pervasive snow and steeped in winter’s stillness. Immerse yourself in the stunning experience of Kimono! The Artistry of Itchiku Kubota, on view through September 16.
Itchiku Kubota (1917-2003), Six Kimono from Symphony of Light, Seasons (1983-86), tie-dyeing, ink painting, and embroidery on silk crepe (chirimen), 198 x 139 cm each. The Kubota Collection, the International Chodiev Foundation
GLOBAL SPLENDOR: TRADITIONS IN CEREMONIAL DRESS
Through September 16
The Edward W. Root Sculpture Court in the Museum of Art is a showcase for ceremonial clothing from around the world. Kathryn Stam, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology at SUNY-Polytechnic Institute and Chris Sunderline, Executive Director of Midtown Utica Community Center, are guest curators for the exhibition, Global Splendor: Traditions in Ceremonial Dress.

Global Splendor fills the Museum of Art’s Sculpture Court, sharing powerful stories from our community, explored through one of our most personal artifacts, our clothing.
