SPOTLIGHT
Artist Series pros calling CU musicians to the stage For nearly eight decades, the Artist Series has brought some of the world’s top musicians, dancers, theater troupes and personalities to Boulder’s doorstep.
Playing with top-notch acts before a large audience can also be a valuable experience for students who hope to perform professionally after graduation.
Hundreds of artists, from poet Carl Sandburg in 1939, to Paul Robeson as Othello and the Trapp Family Singers of “Sound of Music” fame in the 1940s, conductor and violinist Isaac Stern in 1970 and Ladysmith Black Mambazo and MOMIX in the 21st century have graced the stage at Macky Auditorium.
“Much of the work our students will do as professional musicians will be in the popular-commercial genre. It is increasingly important for our students to be comfortable and conversant with various styles, beyond traditional classical music,” says Gary Lewis, director of orchestral studies. “This opportunity will be invaluable to them and it will be great fun to collaborate with such a wonderful artist as Natalie Merchant.”
And in recent years, some have specifically requested that CU-Boulder College of Music students join them in creating an evening of scintillating entertainment. This year, eight musicians will play Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn for the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company’s Play and Play on Jan. 22. And on April 2, the CU Symphony Orchestra will accompany platinum-selling alt-rock sensation Natalie Merchant in a performance of her songs.

“Any time you get to collaborate across the arts it’s a worthwhile and exciting opportunity,” says Zachary Reaves, cellist for the graduate-student ensemble Altius Quartet, which will play Jan. 22. “And it’s really great to see a dance company using live music; a lot of them don’t these days.”

COSÌ FAN TUTTE
By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart March 13-15, Macky Auditorium Mozart’s witty opera buffa follows 24 hours in the lives of two beautiful sisters whose scandalous infidelities make for a comic romp that was considered too hot for audiences even in the early 20th century.

L’INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA (THE CORONATION OF POPPEA)
By Claudio Monteverdi April 23-26 Music Theatre, Imig Music Building Monteverdi’s drama about sex, crime and realpolitik during the debauched reign of the Roman Emperor Nero, turns conventional morality on its head—virtue is punished and greed rewarded. The score soars but the sensual duet between Nero and his lover—eventually wife—Poppea, Pur ti miro, pur ti godo—meaning, “I gaze at you, I possess you”—is the pièce de résistance. Sung in Italian with English surtitles. This production will be styled after the hit Netflix realpolitik series House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey.

TARTUFFE
By Molière Translated by Christopher Hampton Directed by Lynn Nichols Feb. 13-22, University Theatre French playwright Molière’s comic masterpiece skewers religious hypocrisy, mindless piety and sexual deceit. It was so daring at the time of its writing that audience members could be excommunicated for seeing it. Tartuffe tells how a “man of the cloth” worms his way into the gullible heart of Orgon, a rich family man, and tries to take him for all he has. It takes a desperate trap by Orgon’s wife Elmire to expose the imposter.
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
Lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Directed by Cecilia Pang April 10-19, University Theatre Ever since the controversial rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice was
released as a concept album in 1970, it has enflamed the passions of critics and fans alike. The story of Jesus of Nazareth during his final days, from the time of his arrival in Jerusalem to his crucifixion, this high-energy, immensely popular show plunges deep into the hearts of the men and women, from Judas Iscariot to Mary Magdalene to Pontius Pilate, who played a part in one of the most momentous stories ever told.
THE CURRENT
April 17-19 Charlotte York Irey Theatre A showcase of vital new works by CU dance faculty and Millicent Johnnie, the 2014-15 Roser Guest Artist in Dance. Johnnie has performed with Urban Bush Women, Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and choreographed for Grammy Award-winning artists Usher Raymond, Chrisette Michele and Los Hombres Calientes, and record labels Def Jam, Columbia, Interscope, Arista Records and others.
The Grammy Award-winning quartet— Edward Dusinberre, violin; Károly Schranz, violin; Geraldine Walther, viola; and András Fejer, cello—has been selling out concerts for three decades at CU-Boulder with an irresistible blend of viruosic technique and engaging personalities.

The nation’s second-oldest Shakespeare festival raises the curtain June 5 for its exciting 2015 season. CSF is a unique Boulder experience you won’t want to miss — magic, mirth, mayhem … and mountains. Go to coloradoshakes.org for more information and tickets.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Directed by Jim Helsinger, Orlando Shakespeare Theater June 5-Aug. 9 Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre Romantic, raucous and razor-sharp, the Hamlet of Shakespeare comedies strikes hilarious chords even as it reveals timeless truths about love, change and acceptance. The men have returned victorious from war, but the merry sparring — and sparks — between Benedick the stubborn bachelor and witty, self-assured Beatrice have just begun.
WITTENBERG
Directed by CSF Producing Artistic Director Timothy Orr June 11-Aug. 8 (Colorado premier) University Theatre To believe or not to believe? That is the question when Prince Hamlet, a dazed-and-confused senior at Wittenberg University, circa 1517, is caught in the crossfire between two giants
of philosophy — and ego — the freethinking skeptic Dr. Faustus and stuffy, guilt-ridden Martin Luther. Punny, funny, brainy and zany, David Davalos’ ingenious mashup is equal parts Tom Stoppard, campus caper and metaphysical mind-trip.
OTHELLO
Directed by Lisa Wolpe, Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Co. June 26-Aug. 8 Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre In a country at war, Othello the Moor commands with authority and nobility of spirit, drawing strength from his bold and beautiful wife, Desdemona. But he has placed his trust in one of Shakespeare’s most sinister villains, Iago, who would sow seeds of doubt and destruction in the garden of their love. Passion, jealousy and murder explode in a sexy theatrical thriller that tumbles toward a diabolical finale
HENRY V
Directed by Carolyn Howarth, director of CSF’s 2014 Henry IV, Part 1 July 16-Aug. 9, University Theatre England’s crown rests on the head of the once wild and undisciplined acolyte of Falstaff, Prince Hal, now a wise and noble monarch leading his country into war with France. Rousing and cinematic in scope, Henry V raises compelling questions about leadership in a troubled world that powerfully echoes our own. With this production, CSF completes the fourplay Henriad history cycle begun in 2013.
HENRY VI, PART 1
Aug. 2 and 5 , University Theatre Back by popular demand, CSF presents two exclusive, “original practices” performances of the rarely produced saga of Henry V’s son. Last seen onstage at CSF in 1967, the play features one of Shakespeare’s most intriguing females, Joan of Arc. Both 2014 “OP” shows sold out, so buy your tickets early! | 303.492.8008 | 9

SPOTLIGHT
CU guitar festival strikes a global chord As it turns out, there was no need to fret. The CU International Guitar Festival debuted in February 2013, attracting 41 top performers from around the world, including China, Serbia and Latin America. The winners took home thousands of dollars in prizes and returned to Boulder in 2014 to teach and perform.
In just over three years, Nicolò Spera has put CU-Boulder on the map as a true global mecca for classical-guitar teaching, performance and competition. When he arrived in 2011 to launch the College of Music’s classical-guitar program, the renowned Italian performer defied conventional wisdom on easing into a new job and launched plans to host a guitar festival and competition on campus. “It was one of my biggest dreams,” says Spera, assistant professor in the Ritter Family Classical Guitar program, “but I knew it would take a long time. Often when you launch something new it doesn’t work. You hope it does more or less well and hope to have a second one.”
The second bi-annual festival will take place Feb. 19-21, featuring compeNICOLÓ SPERA. COURTESY PHOTO. tition among 40 to 50 of the world’s most talented guitarists, as well as master classes and performances by Brazil’s Assad Brothers — “(T)he best two-guitar team in existence, maybe even in history,” according to the Washington Post — the Italian SoloDuo and Nigel North, hailed as “the greatest lute player of all time” by England’s Birmingham Post. “Basically, we have the two greatest classical guitar duos in the world, the Assad Brothers, the greatest of the 20th century, and SoloDuo, representing the future,” Spera says. “I am so grateful and ecstatic for the fantastic collaboration with the Artist Series and Macky Auditorium, which bring to Colorado the greatest artists in the world.” All events are free except for the Artist Series performance by the Assad Brothers and Brazilian jazz virtuoso Romero Lubambo at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 in Macky Auditorium. For tickets, go to cupresents.org or call 303-492-8008.

Assad Brothers with
Romero Lubambo _____ Artist Bios _____ Brazilian-born brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have set the benchmark for all other guitarists by creating a new standard of guitar innovation, ingenuity and expression. Their exceptional artistry and uncanny ensemble playing come from both a family rich in Brazilian musical tradition and from studies with the guitar/lutenist Monina Távora (1921-2011), a disciple of Andrés Segovia.
Sérgio and Odair Assad
In addition to setting new performance standards, the Assads have played a major role in creating and introducing new music for two guitars. Their virtuosity has inspired a wide range of composers to write for them including Astor Piazzolla, Terry Riley, Radamés Gnattali, Marlos Nobre, Nikita Koshkin, Roland Dyens, Jorge Morel, Edino Krieger and Francisco Mignone. Now Sérgio Assad is adding to their repertoire by composing music for the duo and for various musical partners both with symphony orchestra and in recitals. They have worked extensively with such renowned artists as Yo-Yo Ma, Nadja SalernoSonnenberg, Fernando Suarez Paz, Paquito D’Rivera, Gidon Kremer and Dawn Upshaw.
See Artist bios, p. 3
Tonight’s performance will be approximately 105 minutes with a 15-minute intermission. Tonight’s performance is co-sponsored by HB Woodsong and Shaw Construction. Join us for Twittermission! Tag us in your post or selfie and you could win a $100 CU Presents gift certificate.

Artist bios, from p. 1
The Assads began playing the guitar together at an early age and went on to study for seven years with Dona Monina. Their international career began with a major prize at the 1979 Young Artists Competition in Bratislava. Odair is based in Brussels, where he teaches at Ecole Supérieure des Arts. Sérgio resides in San Francisco, where he is on the faculty of the SF Conservatory. The Assads’ repertoire includes original music composed by Sérgio Assad and his re-workings of folk and jazz music as well as Latin music of almost every style. Their standard classical repertoire includes transcriptions of the great Baroque keyboard literature of Bach, Rameau and Scarlatti and adaptations of works by such diverse figures as Gershwin, Ginastera and Debussy. Their touring programs are always a compelling blend of styles, periods and cultures. The Assads are also recognized as prolific recording artists, primarily for the Nonesuch and GHA labels. In 2001, Nonesuch Records released Sérgio and Odair Assad Play Piazzolla, which later won a Latin Grammy. Their seventh Nonesuch recording, released in the fall 2007, is called Jardim Abandonado after a piece by Antonio Carlos Jobim. It was nominated for Best Classical Album, and Sérgio went on to win the Latin Grammy for his composition, Tahiiyya Li Oussilina. A Nonesuch collaboration with Nadja SalernoSonnenberg in 2000 featured a collection of pieces based on traditional and Gypsy folk tunes from around the world. In 2003, Sérgio Assad wrote a triple concerto for this trio that has been performed with the orchestras of São Paulo, Seattle and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. In the summer of 2004, Sérgio and Odair arranged a very special tour featuring three generations of the Assad family. The family presented a wide variety of Brazilian music featuring their father, Jorge Assad (19242011) on the mandolin and the voice of mother, Angelina Assad. GHA Records has released a live recording and a DVD of the Assad family live at Brussels’ Palais des Beaux-Arts. In the
2006-07 season, the Assad Brothers performed Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto Madrigal for Two Guitars and Sérgio’s arrangement of Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. The Assads were also featured performers on James Newton Howard’s soundtrack to the movie Duplicity, starring Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. In the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, the brothers toured a project entitled De Volta as Raizes (Back to Our Roots) featuring LebaneseAmerican singer Christiane Karam, percussionist Jamey Haddad and composer/pianist Clarice Assad. In February 2011, Odair Assad performed his first solo guitar concert tour in North America featuring concerts in New York and Montreal. Sergio Assad has written another concerto for his duo, called Phases. It was premiered with the Seattle Symphony in February 2011. In the meantime he has been nominated for yet two more Latin Classical Grammys in the Best Classical Composition Category for his piece for the LA Guitar Quartet and the Delaware Symphony entitled, Interchange and for Maracaipe for the Beijing Guitar Duo. In the fall of 2011, five of the members of the Assad family—Sergio, Odair, Badi, Clarice and Carolina—joined together again for another evening of new and favorite Brazilian works. Their tour included stops in Qatar, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands (to open the Brazil Festival) at The Amsterdam Concertgebouw and three concerts in Belgium with a finale at Le Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels. The Assad Brothers collaboration with cellist YoYo Ma is ongoing. In 2003 the Brazilian record Obrigado Brazil was released featuring Rosa Passos, Egberto Gismonti and Cyro Baptista. Sérgio arranged several of the works on the disc, which captured a Grammy in 2004. In 2009, the brothers were featured on Yo-Yo Ma’s chart topping release, Songs of Joy & Peace, which features other guest artists as diverse as James Taylor and Dave Brubeck. In the piece Familia Yo-Yo plays Sérgio’s composition featuring mother, Angelina Assad, sister Badi

and children Clarice, Rodrigo and Carolina. The release topped both the classical and the mainstream Billboard charts and won a Grammy for best classical crossover. In April 2012, Sergio and Odair will tour North America with Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott, in a program of Latin American works as arranged by Sergio as well as some of his original compositions, highlighted by concerts at the new Smith Center in Las Vegas and Chicago’s Symphony Hall. In the fall of 2012 the brothers return to the University of Arizona in Tucson as visiting artists with support from the D’Addario
Family Foundation. They will headline the 4th International Tucson Guitar Festival with two performances at Holsclaw Hall and master classes for advanced guitar students. In the spring of 2013, Sergio and Odair toured as a much-loved trio with the inimitable Paquito D’Rivera as well as a record release of their project, Dances from the New World. Future plans include performances of a new duo guitar concerto written for Sergio and Odair by Sergio’s daughter Clarice Assad, to be premiered at the Pro-Musica Chamber Orchestra in Columbus, Ohio.

Lubambo has performed and recorded with many outstanding artists, including Dianne Reeves, Michael Brecker, Yo-Yo Ma, Kathleen Battle, Diana Krall, Herbie Mann, Wynton Marsalis, Gal Costa, Kurt Elling, Kenny Barron, Luciana Souza, Cyro Baptista, Sergio and Odair Assad, Ivan Lins, Grover Washington Jr., Vernon Reid, Flora Purim and Airto, Paquito D’Rivera, Harry Belafonte, Larry Coryell, Gato Barbieri, Leny Andrade, James Carter, Paula Robison, Dave Weckl, Jason Miles and Cesar Camargo Mariano, among many others. He has also established himself as a composer and performer on his own critically acclaimed recording projects as well as on those of Trio Da Paz, a Brazilian jazz trio Lubambo formed with Nilson Matta and Duduka da Fonseca. Romero Lubambo has been described by critics as, “the best practitioner of his craft in the world today ... the guitarist’s facility, creativity and energy are in a class all their own.” —Jazziz magazine
