THE CHOIR OF MAN It was the runaway hit of last season at the Arts Center, and people begged us to bring them back. So we did! The Choir of Man is setting up their on-stage pub for three nights this winter, January 22-24. Didn’t make it last year? Imagine the greatest pub gig you’ve ever been to, multiply it by ten, and you’ll still be nowhere near the fun that this show exudes throughout. Part party, part concert, The Choir of Man combines hairraising harmonies, high-energy dance, and live percussion with foot-stomping choreography. The multi-talented cast of nine features world-class tap dancers, acrobats, singers, instrumentalists, and poets, ensuring that there is something for everyone. And the songs? You can expect favorites by the likes of Adele, Katy Perry, Queen, Guns N’ Roses, Paul Simon, and more. Oh, and did we mention free beer? The concert is set in a pub, with a real working bar from which the cast will pull pints and invite audience members to get up close and personal with the show—witnessing

the action from chairs and tables among the guys—so come ready to drink in the action! Since debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2017, The Choir of Man has been wowing audiences across Europe and the United States. The Edinburgh Evening News called it “the ultimate feel-good show,” and after last year’s performance at the Arts Center, we couldn’t agree more. Broadway Baby says The Choir of Man is “a feast for the senses” and adds “… [It] will have you dancing down the aisles. Leave your worries in your coat and grab a pint!” Warm up this winter with The Choir of Man, Wednesday through Friday, January 22-24. You’ll leave with a smile on your face that will last for days!

PROGRAMMING SPOTLIGHT
A Behind the Scenes Look at the Making of
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS Now in its seventh year, Home for the Holidays has become an Arts Center tradition. But did you know that Chris Starkey, the show’s creator, starts thinking about it in July? “Nothing better than singing Christmas songs while grilling hamburgers in 90-degree heat,” Chris says. This year, he collaborated with his brother Nate, a writer in Los Angeles, to develop the premise of Santa having a midlife crisis. Chris says that the hardest part of developing the show is creating a variety show for all ages and melding the schedules of 50+ performers who all already have crazy December performance schedules on top of Home for the Holidays. He says, “Every opening night, I literally tear up watching the talent on stage create traditions and memories for this loyal audience. It’s magic!” And if you’ve seen Home for the Holidays in the past, you know that he’s right—it IS magic! Speaking of schedules, Chris starts rehearsals for the show in September. That’s right, a full three months before the show opens. He does this because many of the dancers are involved in various Nutcracker productions throughout the metro area, and rehearsals for those
shows will monopolize time in November. Rehearsals for the singers start in October, because their performance schedules for caroling at malls and private events begin in mid-November. The kids in the show start rehearsing on the weekends in November, since weekday rehearsals are challenging due to homework and afterschool activities. Perhaps the most surprising behind the scenes fact about Home for the Holidays, though, is that the first time everyone gets together for a full run through is the day before technical production starts, which is typically one week before opening. It’s a jigsaw puzzle. Chris says, “Ask a typical theater director to produce a show this way, and they would laugh in your face!” But thanks to the hard work of the cast and the production staff, it’s worked for the past six years, and we know it’ll work again this year. A special note for this year’s production: Chris is donating all of his profits to a special family (and previous Home for the Holidays performer) whose three-year-old son is battling a rare form of cancer. Chris says, “To know we are helping in our small way is the greatest payment we have ever received.” That’s the spirit of the season, and the spirit of Home for the Holidays.

Up Close With
GIADA VALENTI An Italian chanteuse, serenading you with classic songs from decades gone by as well as some modern hits, along with some delicious treats in the lobby at intermission— can you think of a better way to spend (the day after) Valentine’s Day? We can’t! That’s why we’re bringing you Giada Valenti: To Venice with Love on February 15th at 8pm. Giada Valenti, as the title of her show suggests, hails from Venice, Italy. From an early age, she always had an interest in and an aptitude for music. She competed in competitions around Italy and studied piano and music theory at the Santa Cecilia music school in Venice. She also earned her degree at the G. Tartini in Trieste before starting her music career in Italy. After conquering the charts in Italy, Giada moved to America and settled in New York City, where she’s now been based for over a decade. In 2008, iTunes named Giada’s version of the song “Caruso” one of the 50 best songs in Italian. She was a regular performer at Feinstein’s at the Regency Hotel in New York City, until its closing in 2012. But a career high for Giada was her PBS special From Venice with Love, and the ensuing 26 city tour throughout the United States. A nationally broadcast concert would be a special achievement on any network, but the fact that it was a PBS special held special significance for Giada, who used to watch the children’s programming to improve her English when she first moved to America. Giada has a warm and engaging presence that will have you captivated from her very first note. Join us for a night of magical and romantic music with Giada Valenti: From Venice with Love.

His recent performances include Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin with Dr. Mutsumi Moteki for CU-Boulder’s Faculty Tuesday Concert Series, the role of Page in the Steamboat Symphony Orchestra’s production of Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors, covering the role of Spoletta in Puccini’s Tosca under the baton of maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin, tenor soloist in Bach’s Mass in B Minor with the Minnesota ensemble Bach Roots Festival, and is currently a performer with Central City Opera’s Touring Artists, promoting and performing programs that showcase the company’s upcoming season. Since graduating, Hoffman has also established himself as a top vocal teacher in the Foothills region of Colorado, where he maintains a private studio in Evergreen. The New York Times hailed Ashraf Sewailam’s debut at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall as a “stand out performance” and Opera News described his voice as “purring and velvety with an easily produced Ramfis-like top range with a majestic tone,” and his stage presence as “strong, mysterious and with mesmerizing intensity.” This season, Mr. Sewailam performs the title role in Ali Baba with Opera Southwest, Giorgio in I Puritani with Opera Choir in Rotterdam, Ramphis in Aida with Virginia Opera, and Colline in La bohéme with Seattle Opera.

Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) was the first composer to have success writing purely instrumental music rather than vocal music. In the last two decades of his life, Corelli wrote twelve concerti grossi; among them is the Concerto Grosso in G minor, Op. 6, No. 8, more commonly known as the “Christmas Concerto.” The piece uses the Italian concerto grosso style in which a large group alternates with a smaller group, in this case consisting of two violins and a cello. This concerto particularly captures the Christmas spirit because of the included inscription Fatto per la notte di Natale (“Made for the night of Christmas”), as well as the last movement, marked “Pastorale,” a term referring to the shepherds who gathered around the manger. Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) adapted many folk songs and English hymns, including the popular folk tune “Greensleeves.” Vaughan Williams originally wrote this piece for his opera Sir John in Love, which is based on Shakespeare’s comedic play The Merry Wives of Windsor. Everyone knows the beautiful lyrics of this ancient melody and Christmas hymn, “What child is this?,” and Vaughan Williams offers an instrumental version that maintains the melody and adds a haunting beauty. Antonio Vivaldi’s “Autumn” opens with the songs and dances of peasants as they celebrate the harvest. “Fired up by Bacchus’ liquor” the solo violin breaks from the village dance and ranges virtuosically between its high and low registers. The first violin is still in control of itself, if a bit boorish, but Vivaldi specifically marks the string accompaniment to be played “drunk”. The solo violinist finally succumbs to Bacchus, though interpretations differ in their portrayal of inebriation. The peasants end their revelry in sleep. “Winter” opens with relentless icy daggers that engulf the string orchestra. The solo violin breaks in with the “harsh breath of a horrid wind,” though the effect again depends upon the performance. The first violins try to keep warm with fast, running notes and wide leaps depicting stamping feet. But winter isn’t all icy winds; there is also the cozy feeling of sitting by the fire with the rain dripping outside. Vivaldi has the violins pluck the strings to imitate the sound of raindrops while the solo violin plays a pleasant, contented tune. The oratorios of George Frideric Handel (1685-1759), a contemporary of J.S. Bach and one of the most famous Baroque composers, differed from the previous Italian oratorios in that he gave the chorus much more prominence. Charles Jennens wrote the scriptural English text in this oratorio, which is a long reflection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. The complete work contains three parts. The Christmas portion of the work consists of pieces from Part I in which the Old Testament prophets predict the coming of the Messiah. The concert ends with the well known “Hallelujah Chorus,” which is full of celebration and perfectly captures the Christmas spirit!
Life on the Vertical with Mark Synnott Friday, December 27 at 8pm Mark Synnott, 45, is a pioneering big wall climber and one of the most prolific adventurers of his generation. His search for unclimbed and unexplored rock walls has taken him on nearly 30 expeditions to places like Alaska, Baffin Island, Greenland, Iceland, Newfoundland, Patagonia, Guyana, Venezuela, Pakistan, Nepal, India, China, Tibet, Uzbekistan, Russia, Cameroon, Chad, Borneo, Oman, and Pitcairn Island. One of the first climbers to explore Baffin Island’s remote east coast, Mark has been on five trips to the island and has pioneered four big wall first ascents on the east coast, including a grade VII on the 4700-foot north face of Polar Sun Spire—an epic wall that required the team to spend 36 nights in portaledges. In Auyuittuq National Park, Mark completed the first ski descent of the South Face of Mt. Odin via a 5000’ couloir. His book Baffin Island: Climbing, Trekking, Skiing was published in 2007. In Pakistan’s Karakoram Mountains, Mark established two grade VII big wall first ascents—The Ship of Fools on Shipton Spire and Parallel Worlds on Great Trango Tower. The latter, a 6000-foot wall topping out over 20,000 feet, is one of the longest rock climbs in the world. Closer to home, Mark has climbed Yosemite’s El Capitan 22 times, including several one-day ascents. Sponsored by: Season Sponsor

YOUNG AUDIENCES
At the Lone Tree Arts Center, we pride ourselves on having programming that is accessible for a wide variety of audiences. Our youngest audience enjoys our Seedlings series, which takes place once a month on a Tuesday at 9:30am and 11am. It’s a program recommended for children 5 and under, but anyone is welcome.
SEEDLINGS Our Seedlings series is different from most experiences with music or performing arts for young children. It’s not necessarily a class, although there is usually an interactive element. We want Seedlings to be a child’s very first exposure to the performing arts, and the first step in cultivating a lifelong love of the performing arts. We’ve featured various performers for our Seedlings program, including local favorite Katherine Dines with Hunk-Ta-Bunk-Ta, the Colorado Ballet, and Top Hogs (who have made an appearance on America’s Got Talent!). Being involved in the arts has long been proven to be beneficial in multiple areas, and our youngest audiences can perhaps benefit the most from this exposure. Early arts exposure helps boost cognitive development, communication skills, emotional development, behavioral health, and other areas of development. It can also help to foster a lifelong love and interest in the performing arts. In addition to helping with the child’s development, it also provides an opportunity for children to socialize with others and strengthen social bonds. At only $3 per ticket, Seedlings is a fun and affordable way to introduce your child to the arts. We hope to welcome you and your little one as a patron soon!

The Lone Tree Arts Center is proud to showcase the work of local Colorado artists. Each year, four different art exhibitions line the walls of our lobby: the Lone Tree Art Expo, the Exploring the Light Photo Show, and two Commissioners’ Choice shows. Here’s a closer look at each of these exhibitions.
The Lone Tree Art Expo
Exploring the Light Photo Show
Presented by the City of Lone Tree and the Lone Tree Arts Commission, the Art Expo runs from the start of the Arts Center’s performance season in midSeptember through mid-November. Categories in this juried exhibition include painting, drawing, watercolor, sculpture, and mixed media. Prize money is awarded to the first and second place winners in each category, as well as the Best of Show winner and the winner of the Commissioners’ Choice award selected by the City of Lone Tree Arts Commission.
This photo competition, presented by the Lone Tree Photography Club and the Lone Tree Arts Commission, runs from mid-March through mid-May annually. The categories each year include landscape, wildlife/animals, and abstract, along with two to three rotating categories selected by the Lone Tree Photography Club’s board members. Some of these previous categories have included astrophotography, architecture, black and white, human element, and macro.
Following the initial exhibition, the firstplace winners of each category along with the Best of Show and Commissioners’ Choice winners are invited to showcase another five to six pieces of work in the Best of Show, which runs an additional six to eight weeks.

The show’s juror, also selected by the Lone Tree Photography Club board, awards first, second, and third place in every category, as well as Best of Show. Similar to the Art Expo, the first and second place winners in each category and the Best of Show winner are invited to showcase additional works at Lone Tree Arts Center for several weeks following the Photo Show.

VISUAL ART AT LTAC Commissioners’ Choice Presented by the City of Lone Tree’s Arts Commission, this exhibition is held twice per year—from January through early-March and again in mid-July through early-September. The program is an artist invitational providing a unique opportunity for a single emerging or professional Colorado-based artist to fill the walls of the Lone Tree Arts Center exclusively with their work. The Arts Commission is particularly excited about their next exhibition featuring the prolific work of the late Joellyn T. Duesberry. “The upcoming exhibit of Joellyn Duesberry’s art will be outstanding,” notes Larry Lovelace, Chair of the Arts Commission. “She was an internationally-recognized artist of landscape oil paintings from around the world. Her inspiration came from the vistas, waters, and mountains, many located in Colorado. Her often quirky interpretation of Colorado scenes are outstanding.” Joellyn T. Duesberry: A Painter’s Path runs from January 8th through March 9th, 2020, with an opening reception held at the Lone Tree Arts Center on Saturday, January 18th from 6:00–7:30pm.

Gallery Hours The Lone Tree Arts Center Gallery is open during Box Office hours—10:00am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday—and two hours before any public performance at the Arts Center. All artwork is available for purchase from the LTAC Box Office. Interested in showcasing your art at the Lone Tree Arts Center? All calls for entry are posted on callforentry.org.
