The season opens with Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile, two genredefying musicians in an explosion of creativity. With the Hot Sardines we find traditional jazz in the lusty grasp of a young generation of performers, a tap dancer among them! Capitol Steps help burst a few political bubbles, while the audience creates the soundtrack for the Swiss theatrical pantomime troupe MUMMENSCHANZ. The King’s Singers, legendary for their unaccompanied vocal harmonies, will take great advantage of June Swaner Gates Concert Hall’s natural acoustics, as will the Colorado Symphony with renowned conductor and soloist Pinchas Zukerman.

Four dance companies show the breadth of movement as artistic expression, from China’s first non-governmentally supported contemporary dance company, to Bill T. Jones’ exploration of the human condition, to Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s display of today’s most exciting choreographers, to Diavolo’s thrilling and dangerous work with stage contraptions.

We also continue our presentation of artists building on the great traditions of concert hall music but eager to express their own experiences of today’s world. The French double bassist Renaud Garcia-Fons added a fifth string to his bass and developed techniques for playing it so that it fits right in to small ensembles of instruments from various world music traditions. Hear that flamenco guitar? It might just have been Renaud’s bass. The exploratory jazz jam band Medeski Martin & Wood allies with Alarm Will Sound (last here for the thought-provoking multi-media show 1969) for an evening of new music created just for us and CU Presents.

Roomful of Teeth, an a cappella ensemble of eight, uses vocal performance practices from around the world to create mesmerizing, thrilling, beautiful sound palettes. The youngest winner of the Pulitzer Prize in music is one of their members. She won the Prize, and the group won a Grammy, for a work you’ll hear in their show. Donal Fox, a pianist of prodigious reach, explores the intersections of improvisation in jazz and Baroque classical music.

We’re also excited to have the it gets better tour come to Denver for a week of anti-bullying residency work in schools and community centers, culminating in a performance featuring six members of the Gay Men’s Chorus of LA and a community chorus created in Denver just for this show.

Welcome to your performing arts center at the University of Denver. Thank you for coming.

Have a great time!

2014-2015 Newman Center Presents

FROM THE CHANCELLOR Welcome to another remarkable evening at the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts. With its beautiful concert halls and theaters designed specifically to showcase human creativity, the Newman Center has emerged as one of the crown jewels of Denver’s arts scene. There is no other complex like it anywhere in the state.

Over the years, Denver audiences have come to count on the Newman Center and its acclaimed performing arts series. Night after night, the curtain rises on cutting-edge dance troupes, avant-garde music ensembles, or theatrical companies with an experimental bent. By helping us explore our common humanity and look at life from differing perspectives, these productions foster thought, appreciation, delight and community. This is just one of the many ways in which the University of Denver lives its vision of serving the public good.

The Newman Center’s stages are also a catalyst for an explosion of student talent.

Every production by students in our Lamont School of Music and Department of Theatre represents a transformation of energy, enthusiasm and dedication into art. Here at the Newman Center, our students pursue their passions and discover their capacity to collaborate and create, to which the rest of us can only say, encore!

Enjoy tonight’s performance. May it be just one of many offerings you enjoy with us this season.

Chris Thile & Edgar Meyer Tues, Sep 23, 2014 / 7:30 p.m.

Following his stunning, sold-out concert for Newman Center Presents last season, mandolinist extraordinaire Chris Thile returns to open our season, this time with legendary American bassist and composer Edgar Meyer. Thanks to his unparalleled instrumental technique and his gift for composition, Edgar’s work is appreciated by a vast and varied audience.

Each of these unique musicians is the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” award, and each has collaborated with leading musicians of many genres, from Yo-Yo Ma, Emmanuel Ax, and Joshua Bell to Béla Fleck, Mark O’Connor, and Zakir Hussain.

Presenting Sponsor – Creative Instinct Hot Sardines Speakeasy Nights Fri, Oct 10, 2014 / 7:30 p.m.

Take a blustery brass lineup, lay it over a rhythm section led by a stride piano virtuoso, and tie the whole thing together with a magnetic, one-of-the-boys frontwoman whose voice recalls another era, and you have the Hot Sardines. This NYC outfit (with a tap dancer) has been called “consistently electrifying” (Popmatters). The Sardine sound—wartime Paris via New Orleans, or the other way around—is steeped in the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt, and Fats Waller used to make: straightup, foot-stomping jazz. Pianist-bandleader Evan “Bibs” Palazzo and Paris-born singer Miz Elizabeth (who owe their collaboration to meeting via Craigslist) describe their

band as “born in the 1920s, but raised in the ’00s,” reflecting a philosophy that Hot Jazz, Dixieland, and Tin Pan Alley tunes are all pop music, not historical artifacts to be handled with kid gloves.

Sponsored by Newman Center Members Capitol Steps Fri, Oct 17, 2014 / 7:30 p.m.

The Capitol Steps began in 1981 as a group of U.S. Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people who employed them. In the years that followed, having bit the hands that fed them, many of the Steps also ignored the conventional wisdom not to quit their day jobs. The ensemble now tours the U.S., delivering heaping portions of much-needed good humor to the long-suffering American public as the best antidote to politics. They have recorded over 30 albums, given many thousands of shows, and they’re funny— very funny!

Founding Partner –The Denver Post MUMMENSCHANZ Sat, Nov 8, 2014 / 7:30 p.m.

Sun, Nov 9, 2014 / 2:00 p.m.

MUMMENSCHANZ is a legendary Swiss silent mask theater troupe that performs in a magical, surreal style.

Founded in 1972, the group became popular for its play with bizarre masks and forms, light and shadow. Their weird, timeless creatures join other incredible, colorful, enchanting forms. In 1973, MUMMENSCHANZ toured the USA, Canada, and South America and later enjoyed a three-year run on Broadway.

They appeared as special guest stars in the first season of The Muppet Show in 1976.

They also appeared on the award-winning TV show Northern Exposure in the 1990s.

In 2012, they toured the world with a 40th anniversary show. If you like MOMIX and Pilobolus, you will enjoy MUMMENSCHANZ! This is a great experience for the whole family!

Presenting Sponsor – VAL-U-ADS® – Nov 8 Sponsored by Newman Center Members – Nov 9 Pinchas Zukerman, soloist and conductor with the Colorado Symphony Sun, Nov 16, 2014 / 2:00 p.m.

Newman Center Presents is proud to present the best orchestra in our region, the Colorado Symphony, in the region’s best acoustical venue. Come experience classical music as it is meant to be heard.

Renaud Garcia-Fons Quartet La Línea del Sur Sat, Jan 10, 2015 / 7:30 p.m.

From the moment Renaud Garcia-Fons first held a double bass at age sixteen in Paris, the future of the instrument was destined for change.

In a flash of insight, he saw possibilities to use the bass to explore all the music that interested him—classical, jazz, Persian, Indian, Mediterranean, South American, and other forms from the world over. He added a fifth string to the high register and innovated bowing and pizzicato techniques. The result is an utterly new sound—an amalgam of double bass, cello, violin, guitar, lute, oud, and more—that exceeds any conventional idea of playing the double bass.

La Línea del Sur features a quartet made up of Renaud on double bass, Flamenco guitarist Kiko Ruiz, accordionist David Venitucci, and percussionist Pascal Rollando.

Sponsored by Newman Center Members Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company Play and Play – An Evening of Movement and Music Sat, Jan 24, 2015 / 7:30 p.m.

Sun, Jan 25, 2015 / 2:00 p.m.

Play and Play showcases Bill T. Jones’ brilliantly i n v e n t i v e choreography set to some of the most enduring music of the ages, including works by Mendelssohn and Mozart. The distinguished director and choreographer has shaped the evolution of contemporary dance over the past three

decades, garnering MacArthur Foundation “Genius,” Obie, and Tony awards, as well as Kennedy Center Honors and a 2014 National Medal of Arts. The evening’s program includes D-Man in the Waters (1989), a joyful tour de force and genuine classic of modern dance. All of the music will be performed live by students of the Lamont School of Music.

[Program includes nudity.]

This project received support from The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund, Inc. Medeski Martin & Wood + Alarm Will Sound Thu, Feb 5, 2015 / 7:30 p.m.

Alarm Will Sound returns to Newman Center Presents after its provocative multimedia show, 1969, a few years ago. AWS is one of the most creative alternative classical musical ensembles working today. Just beyond the cutting edge, this 20-member group consists of young, unstuffy musicians presenting virtuosic new compositions. Medeski Martin & Wood has been an experimental jazz and jam-band trio since 1992. This improvisation-driven group, led by keyboardist John Medeski, offers a unique, groove-oriented mix drawing from jazz, African music, funk, and hiphop. Both AWS and MMW have performed throughout the world, from Carnegie Hall to the Biennale in Frankfurt, from Lincoln Center to the Montreux Jazz Festival.

This performance marks the premiere of all new works created jointly by the two ensembles for performance at the Newman Center and at the University of Colorado.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Sat, Feb 21, 2015 / 7:30 p.m.

Sun, Feb 22, 2015 / 2:00 p.m.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s bold vision—top global choreographers, distinctive groundbreaking works, and virtuoso dancers—has fostered a jewel of a dance company in the American West.

For 17 years, ASFB has served as a prestigious arts incubator and a showcase for choreographic invention, to both popular and critical acclaim. ASFB’s repertoire resonates with eclecticism and energy. The company exudes a European classical aesthetic charged with American athletic vigor. Since 1996, ASFB has commissioned over 27 new works. Among their many choreographer-collaborators are Jorma Elo, Nicolo Fonte, Trey McIntyre, Moses Pendleton, Dwight Rhoden, and Cayetano Soto.

Sponsored by Newman Center Members Roomful of Teeth with the Colorado Symphony Fri, Mar 6, 2015 / 7:30 p.m.

Founded in 2009, Roomful of Teeth is a vocal project dedicated to mining the expressive potential of the human voice. Through study with masters from non-classical traditions the world over, the eight-voice ensemble continually expands its singing techniques and, through an ongoing commissioning project, invites today’s brightest composers to create a repertoire without borders.

Their debut album was released in 2012.

The New York Times called it “sensually stunning.” It was included on many Best of 2012 lists, topping the classical charts on iTunes and Amazon, even breaking into the top 10 on the Billboard charts.

NPR called the album “fiercely beautiful and bravely, utterly exposed.” The album

won a Grammy for Best Chamber Music/ Small Ensemble Performance. In April 2013, ensemble member Caroline Shaw received the Pulitzer Prize in Music for “Partita,” one of the works on the debut album. An iTunes exclusive EP of “Partita” was subsequently released and ranked number one on iTunes Classical charts.

ROT will be joined by a string ensemble from the Colorado Symphony.

This project received support from The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund, Inc. Donal Fox Inventions Trio: Scarlatti Jazz Suite Project Thu, Apr 2, 2015 / 7:30 p.m.

Declared “one of the most successful classical/jazz unions in recent memory”

by All About Jazz, Donal Fox and the Scarlatti Jazz Suite Project will bring an electric energy to June Swaner Gates Concert Hall. Fox plays with an improviser’s spirit of adventure, whether playing stride piano on Baroque repertoire or blending the harmonic language of the New Viennese School with bebop. Be prepared to be wowed as he de- and reconstructs Bach, Piazzola and Schumann, adding propulsive grooves and using composed themes as springboards for glorious improvisational flights. Fox has earned a reputation for fluency across the genres which has led to collaborations with jazz artists such as David Murray, John Stubblefield, and Oliver Lake, as well as the Richmond Symphony, American Composers Orchestra, and the St. Louis Symphony. With his wide-ranging tastes and virtuosity, you can also expect music from Monk, Coltrane, and Ornette Coleman to round out the evening.

Written and directed by Speak Theater Arts’ Liesel Reinhart, whose company lives by the mantra “don’t be boring!,” it gets better is infused with the dynamic musical energy of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles and the internationally recognized It Gets Better Project.

In the course of a single week, six members of the Gay Men’s Chorus of LA will work closely with students and schools in a series of workshops, rehearsals, and community dialogue. The week will culminate in a performance of the show in the Newman Center and is intended to heighten awareness of bullying and its damaging effects on any community.

According to Artistic Director Jacques Heim, “What we do on stage is like a live abstract painting. There is no narrative, but strong themes pervade the work such as human struggle, fear, danger, survival, chaos, order, deconstruction, reconstruction, destiny, destination, faith, and love.”

Diavolo’s performances will include Fluid Infinities, a stunning work set to the music of Philip Glass, commissioned by the LA Philharmonic and premiered in The Hollywood Bowl.

DID YOU KNOW?!

The University serves the cultural community in many ways. One of those ways is by making rehearsal and performance venues in the Newman Center available for rent by community groups at rates which are subsidized by the University. About 100 performances in the Newman Center each year are produced by beloved local non-profit organizations. While universities may not themselves be recipients of funds from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), most of the Newman Center’s rental clients do receive annual support from the SCFD.

"WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS" The lights of Paris may not have changed all that much in the seventy years since Casablanca was filmed, but your personal photographs are fading, reel footage is color-shifting, and aging videotapes are becoming brittle. At DVD Your Memories we preserve that which is irreplaceable by creating digital copies of everything in your memory library: family albums, travel scrapbooks, performance recordings, wedding footage, music cassettes and LPs, and vital historical documents.

The beauty of transferring photographs, videos, film and audio recordings to modern formats is that these memories can be viewed and played over time without fear of loss or damage. Feelings of nostalgia allow you to re-connect at-will with the memories of days past---yet another great reason for preserving audiovisual media. So, if your best moments still sit with a view of the Eiffel Tower, we want to make sure that you'll "always have Paris"!

Save and share your photos, videos and film for future generations!

These avid philanthropists and winners of the 2014 Colorado Business Committee for the Arts’ John Madden Jr. Leadership Award smile when they remember becoming involved in the campaign to create an outstanding center for the performing arts at the University of Denver. Daniel L. Ritchie, then chancellor, invited Judi to head the effort when the Center was only a dream. Later, the Center was named in the couple’s honor.

The couple’s passion for performing arts and education harmoniously intersected with the Newman Center, which is home to exceptional performance venues and DU’s Lamont School of Music and Department of Theatre. “Dan Ritchie has often said that love is the principal ingredient in any successful building,” says Judi. “The Newman Center, as well as the University’s many other new buildings, show just how true that is.” The Newmans appreciate the masterful collaboration between Ritchie and DU Architect Emeritus Cabell Childress, and the expertise of Joseph Docksey, then director of the Lamont School, and William Temple Davis, then chairman of DU’s Department of Theatre. They delight in the superb array of Newman Center Presents’ programs presented

by Executive Director Stephen Seifert.

Prominent in Denver’s cultural community, the Newmans serve on many boards. Among those, Bob is a member of the University’s Board of Trustees. He also is a member of the Executive Advisory Board of the Daniels College of Business at DU. Judi sits on the Visiting Committee for the Frost School of Music, the Academic Affairs Committee, and the Board of Trustees of the University of Miami. “Each year brings more recognition to this venue and its world-class programs,” says Bob. “Judi and I are delighted to be part of the University of Denver community.”

Hot Sardines Speakeasy Nights October 10, 2014

There will be a 20-minute intermission this evening.

No portion of this performance may be photographed, recorded, filmed, or videotaped.

Sponsor Newman Center Members

This presentation received support from The Porter Adventist Hospital Endowment for the Performing Arts.

Hot Sardines Speakeasy Nights

1

TONIGHT’S PROGRAM This evening’s performance feature tunes from the Hot Sardines’ new self-entitled album set for release October 7.

They unleash their distinctly passionate, dazzling, and inventive sound with their self-titled debut album to be released in the U.S. October 7th on Decca/Universal Music Classics. The electrifying record, produced by Eli Wolf (Norah Jones, Elvis Costello & The

Roots, Al Green), features both early jazz classics and original new Sardine compositions. Their album launch marks a defining moment in the Sardines’ evolution, which started as a slow burn fueled by a shared passion for music from another era, and escalated as the band’s performances ignited the same passion in audiences all over the world.

BIOGRAPHY Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and tie the whole thing together with a one-of-theboys frontwoman with a voice from another era, and you have the Hot Sardines. (We haven’t even told you about the tap dancer yet.)

In a short time, the Hot Sardines have gone from their first gig—at a coffee shop on the last Q train stop in Queens—to selling out Joe’s Pub five times in as many months, headlining at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing, and opening for the Bad Plus, Lulu Gainsbourg and French gypsy-jazz artist Zaz. Through it all, they’ve become regulars at the Shanghai Mermaid speakeasy and turned The Standard, where they play regularly, into their own “saloon in the sky” (The Wall Street Journal)—complete with tap dancing on the bar—honing a live persona that’s been called “unforgettably wild” and “consistently electrifying” (Popmatters).

The Sardine sound—wartime Paris via New Orleans, or the other way around—is steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt, and Waller used to

2

Hot Sardines Speakeasy Nights

make: straight-up, foot-stomping jazz (literally—the band includes a tap dancer whose feet count as two members of the rhythm section). They manage to invoke the sounds of a near-century ago and stay resolutely in step with the current age. And while their roots run deep into jazz, that most American of genres, they’re intertwined with French influences via their frontwoman, who was born and raised in Paris (and writes songs in both languages).

The band was born when said Parisian (“Miz Elizabeth” Bougerol) met a stride piano player (bandleader Evan “Bibs” Palazzo) at a jam session they found on Craigslist. Above a noodle shop on Manhattan’s 49th Street, they discovered a mutual love for songs from the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s that no one really plays anymore.

Or if they play them, “they handle them with kid gloves, like pieces in a museum,” says Evan, underscoring a point the pair can’t stress enough: “This music isn’t historical artifact. It’s a living, breathing, always-evolving thing.”

Members of the Sardines collective have worked with a genrehopping roster that includes Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens, Lauren Ambrose, Sondre Lerche, Vetiver, Of Montreal, Nicholas Payton, Kurt Elling, Branford Marsalis, the New York and Jerusalem Philharmonics, Slavic Soul Party, and the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra.

THANK YOU The Newman Center would like to thank Hot Sardines co-founders and bandrunners Evan “Bibs” Palazzo (bandleader and pianist) and “Miz Elizabeth” Bougerol (vocals and washboard) for leading this evening’s Behind the Curtain lecture.

DID YOU KNOW?!

Everything about June Swaner Gates Concert Hall was designed for acoustical excellence. The walls are hand-applied plaster, and each wall section between the pilasters is convex. The irregular surface of plaster, enhanced by the curved shape, causes sound to be reflected and distributed evenly throughout the Hall. Plaster does an exceptional job of distributing low frequency sounds. It’s also porous enough to break up short, high frequency sound waves, eliminating the sharp “digital” sound of so much modern construction.

Even the heating and air conditioning system was designed in consideration of sound. Air is supplied to the Hall through hundreds of vents in the floor. Very large volumes of air are moved very slowly, thus eliminating the “white noise” of traditional air handling systems. The reverberation time in the Hall can be controlled through the use of acoustical banners which are raised and lowered via a motorized system lodged in the attic of the Hall.

SUPPORT FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

Just making a little toffee for a few of our friends...

Enstrom's World Famous Almond Toffee is a hand-crafted confection that, once tasted, is never forgotten. From its humble beginnings in a Grand Junction, Colorado candymaker’s kitchen, Enstrom’s Toffee has become the go-to gift for candy connoisseurs.

In any project, the benefits of leverage can be amazing. The University of Denver is committed to leadership in leveraging our partnership with you. In recent years, DU has committed $5 million to match every new gift of $10,000 or more to support performing arts on campus. A limited amount of funds remain in this matching pool and are available to match your contributions and pledges. Your gift can be personalized and designated for a wide range of purposes, including endowment of Newman Center Presents programming and educational residency activities.

We urge you to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity today. Please consider giving generously to the performing arts at the University of Denver. Seize the chance to leverage your gift for the enrichment and education of current and future generations of students and for the living cultural fabric of our community.

To discuss giving opportunities to the Newman Center for the Performing Arts, please contact Isabel Werner, Director of Development— Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Isabel.
