The entertainment world is filled with extraordinary stories. But few match the beguiling true-life tale of Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy, Canada’s reigning couple of Celtic music, whose dazzling career achievements underpin an incomparable off-stage life. Indeed, when two of the planet’s very best fiddle players married in 2002, the proverbial mantelpiece was instantly crammed with JUNO and East Coast Music Awards. Though MacMaster and Leahy followed different trajectories – she a Cape Breton native who could step-dance before she could walk; he the oldest brother of acclaimed family group Leahy – both had assuredly crested the traditional music peak.
NATALIE MacMASTER & DONNELL LEAHY · March 10, 2019 | 3 p.m.
S
tarring the fierce fiddling duo, Nata lie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy command the stage with an explosive celebration of raw energy and passion that infuses their traditional heritage with their taste for the contemporary. Wit h t he Visions show, Nata lie and Donnell share their legendary musica l traditions of t heir hometowns of Lakefield, Ontario and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia with an expanded show that highlights the unique talents, inf luences and stories of this amazing, growing clan through dancing, singing and, of course, world-class music making.

NATALIE MacMASTER & DONNELL LEAHY
Their first recorded collaboration, 2015’s Bob Ezrin-produced album One, which was followed by 2016’s A Celtic Family Christmas (and which cemented the couple’s status as powerhouses on the seasonal circuit) confirmed MacMaster and Leahy were as dynamic working together as they were apart. That’s no smal l fe at w hen your combined album sales exceed one million; when past collaborators include classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma, bluegrass star Alison Krauss and banjo ace Béla Fleck; and when your ecstatic fan base (which boasts Shania Twain and The Chieftains) stretches from Sydney, Nova Scotia to Sydney, Australia.
“The fiddle was definitely common ground for us when we first got together,” MacMaster, a Member of Order of Canada since 2006, recalls with a chuckle. “But I was so in awe of Donnell’s family, of 11 siblings who could play and had a family band. And here I am now doing almost exactly the same thing. Well, kind of.” MacMaster is referring to her and Leahy’s six musically gifted children,

who today are the centrepiece of the MacMaster/Leahy live set though not because the couple necessarily envision showbiz careers for Mary Frances, Michael, Clare, Julia and Alec (Sadie’s only 3). Rather, the pair realized early on that being on the road without their kids was infinitely harder than touring with them. That the children were already being home schooled (MacMaster has a teaching degree) made enacting that decision easier. “Initially we were reluctant to let the kids perform. We worried the expectations might be too much,” Leahy says. “But then one night we put Mary Frances on stage. Soon after that Michael wanted to play. And you must reward practice.

suit, then the height of boys’ fashion. The choir started to give concerts outside of the chapel in 1926, performing motets, secular works, and children’s operas. The impact was amazing. Within a year, the choir had performed in Berlin, Prague, and Zurich. Athens and Riga (1928) followed, then Spain, France, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden (1929), the United States (1932), Australia (1934), and South America (1936). Since 1926, the choir has gone on more than 1000 tours in 100 different countries. Today, the Vienna Boys Choir consists of 100 boys between the ages of 10 and 14, from dozens of nations, divided into four touring groups. Each group spends nine to eleven weeks of the school year on tour. Between them, the four choirs give 300 concerts and performances each year before almost half a million people. They visit virtually all European countries, and are frequent guests in Asia, Australia, and the Americas. The Vienna Boys Choir has a close association with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Together with members of the orchestra and the men of the Vienna State Opera Chorus, the choir maintains the tradition of the imperial musicians: as Hofmusikkapelle (Chapel Imperial) they provide the music for the Sunday Mass in Vienna’s Imperial Chapel, as they have done since 1498.
VIENNA BOYS CHOIR · March 26, 2019 | 3 p.m.
Boys have been singing at the Viennese court since the 14th century, and in 1498 — more than half a millennium ago — Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I moved his court and court musicians to Vienna. Historians have settled on 1498 as the foundation date of the Vienna Chapel Imperial (Hofmusikkapelle) and thus the Vienna Boys Choir. Until 1918, the choir sang exclusively for the imperial court, at mass, concerts, private functions, and on state occasions. Throughout history, such noted composers as Heinrich Isaac, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, Johann Joseph Fux, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Antonio Salieri, Christoph Willibald Gluck, and Anton Bruckner have worked with the choir. Jacobus Gallus and Franz Schubert were themselves choristers, and brothers Franz Joseph and brother Michael Haydn were members of the choir of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, but frequently sang with the imperial boys choir as well. In 1918, after the breakdown of the Habsburg Empire, the Austrian government took over the court opera, its orchestra and the adult singers, but not the boys’choir. Josef Schnitt, who became Dean of the Imperial Chapel in 1921, turned the Vienna Boys Choir into a private institution. The former court choir boys became the Wiener Sängerknaben (Vienna Boys Choir); the imperial uniform was replaced by the sailor

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.
