LOUISVILLE BALLET STUDIO COMPANY

Act I A forest clearing in the Rhineland In a valley near a vineyard a young peasant girl, Giselle, is courted by Albrecht, a young count who has disguised himself as a peasant. Wilfred, Albrecht’s squire, warns his master against this folly and of the impending approach of the count led by the Duke of Courland and his daughter, Bathilde, Albrecht’s fiancée. Hilarion, also in love with Giselle, observes this courtship and in his jealousy breaks into Albrecht’s cottage hoping to learn more about this mysterious visitor. Berthe, Giselle’s mother, worries that there may be tragic consequences for her daughter’s fragile health while in this courtship, as Giselle dances far too much at the village celebration marking the end of harvest. The Duke and Bathilde stop to refresh themselves at Berthe’s cottage where the new wine can be tasted and peasants entertain them with dancing. Bathilde, charmed by Giselle, gives her a necklace. Hilarion discovers proof of Albrecht’s true identity and reveals Albrecht’s duplicity to Giselle just as she is being crowned Queen of

the Village. Bathilde appears claiming Albrecht as her fiancé and with this shock, Giselle loses her mind and dies of a broken heart.

Act II Giselle’s grave in the forest As midnight sounds, Hilarion keeps vigil by Giselle’s grave, which lies in unhallowed ground near the forest lake. The Wilis, ghosts of young girls who where jilted and died before their wedding day, exact their revenge upon men they encounter during the night by forcing them to dance to their deaths. The Queen of the Wilis, Myrthe, summons the Wilis and calls Giselle’s spirit from her grave. They come across Hilarion, driving him deeper into the forest and ultimately to his death in the lake. Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, heartbroken and remorseful, where the Wilis turn upon him after Myrthe condemns him to dance until he dies. As night wears on Albrecht becomes more and more exhausted and it is only the love of Giselle that sustains him. As dawn breaks the Wilis’ power fades, as does Giselle’s spirit, and Albrecht is left alone and filled with sorrow.

BIOGRAPHIES Robert Curran

Artistic + Executive Director Trained at The Australian Ballet School and having enjoyed a thrilling and fulfilling career with The Australian Ballet as a Principal Artist, Robert Curran took the passion and discipline he developed as a dancer and set his sights on diversifying his knowledge, skills, and abilities.

Education and experience continually expanded his ability to move his own body on stage and, through this, move an audience through a wide range of emotions. Beyond his dancing career he strives to continue to move people towards a satisfying encounter with dance. Mr. Curran is motivated by the form that a dancer gains from training in the traditions of classical ballet, where respect and discipline can facilitate breathtaking strength and freedom. He is also inspired by the innovation that forms the function of any artist, that being, to bravely and boldly express oneself through art for the greater good of a community.

As Artistic + Executive Director of Louisville Ballet, Mr. Curran continues to contribute to the global arts community, enriching his knowledge of the art form to which he has devoted his life. He is excited by, and committed to, the Louisville community with its abundant respect for the arts and its exciting perspective on the future.

Before they were The Lords of 52nd Street, you could find them playing at local clubs in Long Island under the band name, “Topper.”

Topper was a 1960s high school rock and roll band originally f o r m e d b y, Russell Javors on guitar and vocals, Doug Stegmeyer on bass, a nd L ib er t y D eV i t t o o n d r u m s . T he band was drawing a large audience at t he t i me, but bassist Doug Stegmeyer quickly flew out to California to audition for t he “Piano Man,” Mr. Billy Joel.

Joel was looking to form a new band that will record and tour with him regularly.

Stegmeyer was immediately accepted into the Billy Joel Band, and Joel asked if Stegmeyer knew any other players, specifically a New York style drummer. Stegmeyer told Joel,

“You know them,” and recommended his Topper bandmates, Russell Javors and Liberty DeVitto, for the part. DeVitto frequently played gigs with Joel’s high school band “The H a s s le s ” at Pl a i n v i e w ’s My House.

To s a y t h e least, Joel and DeVitto were not foreign to each other’s play ing. No one ever expected t h e s e musicians wou ld cross paths again, and help form one of pop music’s most famous bands.

Doug Stegmeyer, Liberty DeVitto, and Russell Javors joined Billy Joel in studio to record his 1976 album Turnstiles. Billy Joel was also looking specifically for a saxophone player who can play keyboards. Al Stegmeyer, Doug Stegmeyer’s fat her, was a sound engineer on the album, and recommended

THE LORDS OF 52nd STREET 18

Richie Cannata to play saxophone and keyboards on the album. Cannata walked into Ultrasonic Studios in Hempstead, New York, and heard for the first time the legendary hit, “Angry Young Man.” Joel, Stegmeyer, DeVitto and Javors recorded the tune a day earlier, and Cannata was blown away by their experienced playing and speed. Cannata went into the studio and immediately recorded the unforgettable Empire State love song, “New York State of Mind.” What made the music on this album so special, were the dedicated and loyal New York musicians behind its creation.

The Turnstiles album was a huge success because Joel and his new recording and touring band performed the songs with such a fresh, and young driven beat. DeVitto, Javors and Cannata blew away audiences with their playing, and helped Joel sel l mi l lions of albums.

The band went from playing local col leges a nd universities across the nation to performing at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.

After the success of the Turnstiles album, Joel and the band began looking for a music producer for their next album. George Mar tin, t he legendar y Beat les record producer, offered Billy Joel a record deal, but he informed Joel he wanted to record with studio musicians. Joel would not create this new album without The Lords of 52nd Street, so he told Martin, “Love me. Love my band.” Joel turned down The Beatles’ record producer, George Martin, and was pleased to work with the legendary, Phil Ramone.

Phil Ramone and Joel coined DeVitto, Cannata, Javors and Stegmeyer as The Lords of 52nd Street, and went into Columbia Studios to record, The Stranger. The album was a commercial success, it holds a RIAA diamond certification (10x platinum), and several #1 singles including, “Only The Good Die Young” and “Just The Way You Are.” The Lords of 52nd Street, along side

the Piano Man, led an international tour, and performed at famous arenas including, Wembley Stadium, Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Nassau Coliseum, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, Budokan, the LA Forum and many others.

The band also performed on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and on the BBC’s The Old Grey Whistle Test television program back in 1978. The Lords of 52nd Street helped Joel establish a popular music career, and the opportunity to perform and record in the most prestigious settings.

Joel and The Lords of 52nd Street returned to the studio, and recorded Grammy award winning albums including, 52nd Street, Glass Houses, and The Nylon Curtain. The band recorded and toured with Joel for over a decade, and it wasn’t until their induction into the Long Is l a nd Mu sic Ha l l of Fa me where they decided to re u n it e a f t e r a 30-year separation.

After their 2014 ha l l of fa me induction, T he L ord s of 52nd St reet picked up their instruments yet again, and began performing in front of live audiences together.

The Lords finally returned to the stage to a sold out crowd at The Space at Westbury in February 2016. Critics adored the band, and their performance blew away fans of all ages.

The Lords of 52nd Street are touring regularly since their return in early 2016, and they do not plan on stopping anytime soon. Fans declared that The Lords’ live performances sound just like the original recordings with Billy Joel, if not better. The Lords of 52nd Street perform regularly for live audiences in public and private events, and continue to awe fans from around the world.

They are New York’s favorite band, they sold more than 150 million records, they helped establish Billy Joel’s formidable sound, and they continue to perform their legendary hits still to this day. Look no further; The Lords of 52nd Street are here!

SUPPORT THE OGLE CENTER

GIVING OPPORTUNITIES It’s a common misconception that income from ticket sales is sufficient to operate a performing arts facility such as the Ogle Center. Ticket sales cover only 25% of the Ogle Center’s operating expenses. It’s also a common misconception that the Ogle Center is fully funded by Indiana University, and therefore by the state of Indiana and its taxpayers. While we do receive financial support from Indiana University — and IU Southeast in particular — we could not function on that support alone. In addition to ticket revenue and support from the university, the Ogle Center, the IU Southeast Music and Theatre Departments depend on the generosity of businesses and individuals to continue and strengthen arts programming in our community. If you have enjoyed past performances at the Ogle Center, please consider making a contribution to our annual programming fund. If you are a regular contributor to the Fund for the Arts, you can earmark your donation for the Ogle Center.

FRIENDS OF THE OGLE CENTER

The Ogle Center’s community of donors, Friends of the Ogle Center, join corporate, philanthropic, and cultural leaders in ensuring the Ogle Center continues to thrive as a presenter of world-class performing arts in southern Indiana. Your financial support is vital to the operation of this community treasure and helps foster educational opportunities for IU Southeast and community members alike.

Your gift to the Ogle Center may be designated to either our Operations Support Fund, which supports the annual operations of the Ogle Center, or to the Ogle Center Endowment Fund. A gift to the endowment is a lasting gift. The income from the endowment helps defray the costs of programs brought to the Ogle Center for presentation to the University and to the public.

In addition, income may be used to purchase art works for the IU Southeast campus, provide scholarships for students at IU Southeast in the arts, or generally enhance the role of the arts in the region served by IU Southeast.

Contributions help the Ogle Center to: • Ensure the level of excellence and variety in programming • Maintain affordable ticket prices • Provide for the ongoing restoration of the Ogle Center’s art collection • Provide future funding needs for the maintenance of the Ogle Center to ensure that it remains the premier performing arts facility in southern Indiana for future generations.

MARIACHI HERENCIA DE MÉXICO February 29

LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA March 7

Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina.

This youth ensemble from Chicago’s immigrant barrios is mariachi music’s most exciting newcomer. They have performed alongside major artists like Lila Downs, Aida Cuevas, Los Lobos, Pedro Fernández, and some of the most respected mariachi groups from both sides of the border, demonstrating that this group of students have the talent, training and bravado to hold their own with the best in the world.

Created by Stravinsky as a theatrical work “to be read, played, and danced” by three actors, A Soldier’s Tale is a Russian folk story that will come to life through David Bridel’s life-sized puppets. We pair it with Ravel’s orchestration of his own piano suite, Le tombeau de Couperin. Each movement is dedicated to the memory of a friend of Ravel’s who died fighting in World War I.

COMMONWEALTH BRASS BAND March 29

The Commonwealth Brass Band was founded in 1989. Brass bands differ from military and concert bands in that they consist exclusively of conical bore brass instruments (cornets, euphoniums, alto horns, flugelhorns, trombones, tubas) and percussion. This tradition began in England in the early 19th century where bands were organized by manufacturers and mines for the recreation of their workers.

March 14

For the last 30 years, The Peking Acrobats® have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics.

They perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs; they are experts at trick-cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting, and gymnastics. They defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility, and control. They push the envelope of human possibility and are masters of agility and grace.

CONCERT BAND

Since its formation in the early 90s, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has reminded the world, in the midst of the grunge era no les s, that it was still cool to swing. The band was at the forefront of the swing revival of that time, blending a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz, swing, and dixieland, with the energy and spirit of contemporar y culture.

Regarded as one of the finest concert bands in the region, the IU Southeast Concert Band will present its annual spring concert on Sunday, April 12.

Under the direction of Philip A. Thomas, the Concert Band performs the highest quality literature from band classics to the latest international contemporary works. Versatility and variety mark the tradition of the IU Southeast Concert Band.
