Contemporary dance finds a welcome home at the Newman Center. This season we host the legendary Twyla Tharp’s 50th Anniversary Tour with all new works. Together with the Mizel Arts & Culture Center at the JCC we present Vertigo Dance from Israel. The appearance of Kyle Abraham’s Abraham.In.Motion coincides with the annual conference of the International Association of Blacks in Dance, being hosted in Denver by Cleo Parker Robinson Dance. Finally, we have commissioned a new work from another American dance legend, Paul Taylor, and his company will present the world premiere here in February. The Newman Center has been a regular presenter of new classical music and this season includes some of the best young composers and musicians working today. The string quartet Brooklyn Rider performs its “Almanac” project of works written for them by composers as diverse as Bill Frisell, Ethan Iverson, and Vijay Iyer. So- Percussion, with us for the third time, plays Bryce Dessner’s “Music for Wood and Strings” on instruments invented for the piece, and then joins the multitalented Shara Worden, vocalist of the indie rock band My Brightest Diamond, for a series of songs written by her. Gabriel Kahane, back for the third time as well, pairs up with pianist Timo Andres for an intimate exploration of songs, old and new, in the Hamilton Family Recital Hall. Other highlights of the season include the master of the American Songbook, Michael Feinstein, also in collaboration with the Mizel Arts and Culture Center, the beloved a cappella ensemble Anonymous 4 on their farewell tour in a program memorializing 150 years since the end of the Civil War, and four award-winning young stars from the Metropolitan Opera singing arias and ensembles from opera. We’ll celebrate the holidays with swing as the Boston Brass and the Brass All-Stars Big Band combine jazz and seasonal favorites. The Colorado Symphony brings its new Associate and Assistant conductors to the Newman Center, once for an “inside the score” performance of Brahms’s 4th Symphony, and once with a program inspired by an exhibit at the University’s Vicki Myhren Gallery exploring color. We are proud to be part of the premiere US tour of globalFEST On the Road. This minifestival of three performers from Brazil, Haiti, and Jamaica creates a “Creole Carnival.” The season ends with two shows sure to burn up the stage. The thrilling young guitarists Julian Lage and Chris Eldridge will amaze you, and Billy Childs’ reimagination of the music of singer-songwriter Laura Nyro (performed by everyone from Barbara Streisand to the 5th Dimension, from Blood, Sweat and Tears to Peter, Paul and Mary), including three singers, Dianne Reeves, Becca Stevens, and Alicia Olatuja, will end the season in high style. Welcome to your performing arts center at the University of Denver. Have a great time! Stephen W. Seifert Executive Director

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 is a crown jewel 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 also enable our students to demonstrate their remarkable talent. This building helps us to attract some of the most promising and talented young people in the nation, and every production by students in our Lamont School of Music and Department of Theatre showcases their energy, enthusiasm and dedication. 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!

dance musical Movin’ Out and such other Broadway shows as Singin’ in the Rain and The Times They are a-Changin’! She has collaborated on films such as Hair, Amadeus, and White Nights, as well as PBS and BBC television programs. She has received two Emmy Awards, a Tony Award, 19 honorary doctorates, the National Medal of the Arts, a MacArthur Fellowship, among many other distinctions. Sponsored by Founding Partner The Denver Post This project also received support from the National Dance Project/New England Foundation for the Arts, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Colorado Symphony Inside the Score: Brahms’s 4th Symphony Tue, Oct 6, 2015 / 7:30 p.m. The evening begins with a performance of Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3, featuring Colorado Symphony Principal Horn player Michael Thornton as soloist. Then we will go “inside” Brahms’s 4th Symphony. This work astonished Brahms’s friends when they first heard it in a piano version. Some urged him not to release it to the public. But its premiere a few months later was positively received. It went on to become one of the pillars of the symphonic repertoire, even being seen as a summing up of western musical traditions to that point, and an introduction to the world of Ives, Stravinsky and Schoenberg. The Colorado Symphony’s

new Associate Conductor Christopher Dragon will lead an in-depth exploration of this last symphonic work of Brahms’s career, including musical illustrations, followed by a full performance. Sponsored by Newman Center Members Vertigo Dance Co-Presented with the Mizel Arts and Culture Center at the JCC Sat, Oct 17, 2015 / 7:30 p.m. Vertigo Dance was founded in Israel in 1992 by Noa Wertheim and Adi Sha’al and is dedicated to bringing people together and touching them through the language of the body in motion. Wertheim, her three sisters, and their families founded the Vertigo Eco-Art Village, the home to Vertigo Dance and a School for Earth Building for the use of renewable, local materials and ancient building techniques, workshops and classes in art and practical ecology, a community recycling center offering workshops, an artists’ residence for local and foreign artists, and outreach performances for diverse communities including those with disabilities and special needs. Their goal is to create a family model based on ecological and social principles that can be passed from community to community, even country to country. The major work on this Colorado premiere by Vertigo Dance is called Reshimo, a Kabbalistic idea suggesting the impression light makes— the afterimage—once one is in darkness. It is set to a hauntingly beautiful musical score by Israeli composer Ran Bagno. Supported in part by a generous grant from MDC Holdings/Richmond American Homes Foundation.

2015-2016 SEASON Michael Feinstein The Great American Songbook Co-Presented with the Mizel Arts and Culture Center at the JCC Thu, Oct 22, 2015 / 7:30 p.m. Michael Feinstein’s suave vocalism, irresistible charm, and remarkable insights into popular song make his concerts wonderful celebrations of the genre. He has been dubbed “The Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,” has released multiplatinum-selling albums, and has been nominated twice for an Emmy and five times for a Grammy Award. His 200-plus shows a year have included performances at Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House, and the Hollywood Bowl, as well as the White House and Buckingham Palace. More than simply a performer, Feinstein has received national recognition for his commitment to celebrating America’s popular song and preserving its legacy for the next generation. In 2007, he founded The Great American Songbook Foundation, dedicated to celebrating the art form and preserving it through educational programs, master classes, and the annual High School Vocal Academy and Competition, which awards scholarships and prizes to students across the country. Feinstein serves on the Library of Congress’ National Recording Preservation Board, an organization dedicated to ensuring the survival, conservation, and increased public availability of America’s sound recording heritage.

Anonymous 4 Final Season Tour 1865 – Songs of Hope and Home from the American Civil War with Bruce Molsky, fiddle, banjo, guitar, and vocals Sat, Nov 14, 2015 / 7:30 p.m. Anonymous 4’s third and last album of their American Trilogy recordings for harmonia mundi—and their final brand new touring program—commemorates the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War. 1865 focuses on the personal experiences of men, women, and children from the north and the south toward the end of the Civil War and in its immediate aftermath. The songs may originally have been written for the stage or the parlor, or they may have emanated from the hills and back roads of America. Many of the songs in 1865 were published between 1861 and 1865; others first appeared in print earlier but were sung constantly during the War years, perhaps in an effort to bring to mind the familiar and the good. Yet other songs and instrumental tunes are not datable; by the year 1865, they had already been passed down from generation to generation without the aid of the printed page. Joining Anonymous 4 for this project is Bruce Molsky, renowned old-time fiddler, master banjo and guitar player, and vocalist. Anonymous 4 and Bruce have put their own stamp on the songs in 1865, including fivepart harmonies on the Stephen Foster gem “Hard Times, Come Again No More,” “Home, Sweet Home,” and “Listen to the Mocking Bird” accompanied by the minstrel banjo; the high lonesome sound on folk songs such as “Bright Sunny South”; Bruce’s fiddle and banjo playing on instrumental tunes “Rebel Raid”; “Polly Put the Kettle On”; and the fourpart a cappella singing of Anonymous 4 on the hymn “Abide with Me.” Sponsored by Newman Center Members

The brass ensemble (trumpets, French horns, trombones and tubas) with jazz rhythm section features fiery big band arrangements of classics such as the Stan Kenton Christmas Carols, “Greensleeves,” and “Motown Jingle Bells” in a setting that will delight audiences of all ages. The concert also includes holiday favorites performed by the Boston Brass such as “Three Dances” from the Nutcracker, “Christmas Song,” and “White Christmas.” This ensemble of virtuoso musicians will light up the stage and warm every heart. Sponsored by Founding Partner Cherry Creek Shopping Center Brooklyn Rider Almanac Thu, Jan 14, 2016 / 7:30 p.m. The adventurous, genredefying string quartet Brooklyn Rider makes its Denver premiere in a performance of new works that are all part of its inventive and entertaining Almanac project. Taking a cue from the Blue Rider artist collective (Der Blaue Reiter) of the pre-WWI era, the quartet invited an exciting group of composers—including Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, singer-songwriter Aoife O’Donovan, Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier, and a host of jazz luminaries including guitarist Bill Frisell, pianist Vijay Iyer, and Ethan Iverson of The Bad Plus—to create new music. Each composer chose a personal creative muse as inspiration, ranging from Igor Stravinsky

to Keith Haring, Chick Corea to John Steinbeck, David Byrne to James Brown, choreographer Mark Morris to Aboriginal Australian painter Albert Namatjira. Allan Kozinn, music critic with The New York Times for many years, has said that “there is an incredible world taking shape, with young composers writing music that people want to hear, and hear about, and a style/era change as significant as the shift from Baroque to Classical or Classical to Romantic.” Brooklyn Rider is an integral part of that movement. Sponsored by Newman Center Members Kyle Abraham / Abraham.In.Motion When the Wolves Came In In collaboration with Cleo Parker Robinson Dance and the International Association of Blacks in Dance Conference Wed, Jan 20, 2016 / 7:30 p.m. This Colorado premiere by Abraham.In.Motion features works inspired by Max Roach’s iconic 1960 protest album We Insist! (Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite), itself created in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation as well as to shed a light on the growing African independence movements of the 1950s. The potent themes inherent in these historical milestones are evident in Abraham’s choreography, evocative scenery by visual artist Glenn Ligon, visceral power of Roach’s masterwork, and original compositions of Grammy Award-winning jazz musician Robert Glasper. Born into hip-hop culture in the late 1970s and grounded in his artistic upbringing in classical cello, piano, and the visual arts, Kyle Abraham’s movement delves into identity and personal history. His work entwines a sensual and provocative movement vocabulary with a strong emphasis on sound, human behavior, and all things visual. Abraham founded his own

2015-2016 SEASON Colorado Symphony Learning to Hear Color Thu, Feb 25, 2016 / 7:30 p.m. Many composers and musicians experience sounds as colors– among the most famous are Liszt, Rimsky-Korsakov, Sibelius, Bernstein, Ellington, Messiaen, and Ligeti. American composer Michael Torke even composed a suite called Color Music including such sections as “Bright Blue Music” and “Ecstatic Orange.”

also the launching pad for the opera stars of the future. Some of today’s leading artists got their first big break by winning the company’s National Council Auditions, as members of the Lindemann Program, and by catching the attention of MET talent scouts. Stephanie Blythe, Renée Fleming, Ben Heppner, Deborah Voigt, Thomas Hampson, and Eric Owens are just a few of the major artists to have come through the MET ranks. Another generation of young singers is ready to be discovered.

In conjunction with an exhibition at the University of Denver’s Vicki Myhren Gallery called Learning to See Color, this concert explores the musical aspects of color. The Colorado Symphony’s new Assistant Conductor, Andres Lopera, will lead you through a program demonstrating that art created to be experienced through one sense, such as music, can actually lead to perceptions and feelings experienced through other senses—colors can be heard.

Gabriel Kahane and Timo Andres Sat, Apr 2, 2016 / 7:30 p.m. Sun, Apr 3, 2016 / 2:00 p.m. Hamilton Recital Hall For this performance two friends draw on four centuries of music to create a call and response experience. Solo piano transcriptions of Bach chorale preludes are mixed with songs for piano and voice by composers such as Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Thomas Adès, and Jerome Kern. Benjamin Britten’s folk song settings and Charles Ives’ songs are mingled with new pieces written by Gabe and Timo for each other, resulting in a live mix-tape concert. Kahane is a tireless collaborator. His recent credits include a track on this year’s Beck Song Reader, performances and recordings with Newman Center favorite Chris Thile, and several projects with Sufjan Stevens. Andres’ debut album Shy and Mighty was released in 2010 to immediate critical acclaim. Alex Ross wrote in The New Yorker that it “achieves an unhurried grandeur that has rarely been felt in American music since John Adams came on the scene ... more mighty than shy, [Andres] sounds like himself.” This project received support from The Antonia and Vladimer Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund, Inc. Julian Lage and Chris Eldridge Avalon Thu, Apr 21, 2016 / 7:30 p.m. Avalon, from Julian Lage and Chris “Critter” Eldridge, is a love letter to the sound of the acoustic guitar. Their set list is a mix of originals and covers that illustrate the breadth

2015-2016 SEASON of the American songbook, incorporating bluegrass, country, gospel, old-time music, and jazz. Julian Lage is an American guitarist, composer, and arranger. Hailed as a child prodigy, Lage was the subject of the Academy Award nominated documentary Jules at 8. His music is rooted in both traditional and acoustic forms, and he has had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned artists such as Jim Hall, Mark O’Connor, Béla Fleck, Gary Burton, David Grisman, and Joshua Bell. His debut recording, Sounding Point, was nominated for a 2010 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year. As a member of Punch Brothers, guitarist Chris Eldridge has been at the vanguard of acoustic music for much of the past decade. Eldridge developed a deep love for acoustic music thanks in part to his father, a banjo player and founding member of the seminal bluegrass group The Seldom Scene. Eldridge later gained in-depth exposure to a variety of different musical styles while studying at Oberlin Conservatory. In 2005, he founded the bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters.

Billy Childs Map to the Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro featuring Dianne Reeves, Becca Stevens, and Alicia Olatuja Thu, May 5, 2016 / 7:30 p.m.

BOX OFFICE INFORMATION M Allan Frank Family Box Office 2344 E. Iliff Ave., Denver, CO 80208 Hours: Mon–Fri, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Sat, 12 p.m.–4 p.m. (Sep–May) Phone: 303.871.7720 Email: newmanboxoffice@du.edu Website: www.newmancenterpresents.com Tickets can be purchased in person at the Newman Center Box Office or by phone at 303.871.7720 during the hours listed above or online anytime at www.NewmanTix.com. Service charges may apply for tickets purchased by phone or online.

Laura Nyro, who died in 1997 at the age of 49, was one of the most important singer-songwriters of the late 1960s and early 70s. Her work is known more through covers of her songs—such as “Stoney End,” “Black Patch,” “Blowing Away,” “Wedding Bell Blues,” “Stoned Soul Picnic,” “Save the Country,” “And When I Die”—performed by others (Barbara Streisand; Blood, Sweat and Tears; The 5th Dimension; Peter, Paul & Mary; Three Dog Night) than through her own performances. Her compositions blend soul, gospel, jazz, show tunes, and pop. Billy Childs’ arrangements with vocals by Becca Stevens, Alicia Olatuja, and Denver’s own Dianne Reeves are a loving and powerful tribute to this influential artist. Childs is a pianist, composer, and arranger, a three-time Grammy winner, and an artist who can fluidly move among jazz and other musical worlds. Denver’s own Dianne Reeves is a five-time Grammy Award winner for Best Jazz Vocal Performance, the only artist to win that award for three consecutive albums.

The Newman Center for the Performing Arts would like to dedicate its presentation of Abraham.In.Motion to the memory of Jonathan Parker. He passed away on December 19, 2015. Today would have been “J.P.’s” 88th birthday. He was one of Denver’s first African-American actors and a mentor to multiple generations of Denver performers and stagehands. He was also a tireless and upbeat symbol of unity and champion of social justice. He taught everyone about compassion, kindness and dignity. For many years J.P. was Facilities Director for the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, both in its home at the Houston Fine Arts Center and here in the Newman Center. His daughter, Cleo Parker Robinson, founded her own dance company 45 years ago, and this week Cleo’s company is host to the annual Conference of the International Association of Blacks in Dance. “Everything’s copacetic.”

DIRECTOR’S NOTE Thank you for joining us for this presentation of When the Wolves Came In. Created during my tenure as a Resident Commissioned Artist at New York Live Arts from 2012-2014, this program draws inspiration from jazz legend Max Roach’s seminal album, We Insist! Max Roach’s Freedom Now Suite. This album, originally intended to be released in 1963 to mark the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, was released in the fall of 1960 due to the severity sparked by the sit-ins in Greensboro, NC and the urgency of the growing civil rights movement in the US and South Africa. As overarching commentary, I keep going back to Roach’s response when asked about the song, “Freedom Day”: “Freedom itself was so hard to grasp...we don’t really understand what it really is to be free.” At this point in my life, I am very well aware of the freedoms I possess. But as a Black Gay American man, I am equally aware of my limitations and those that exist for so many in a poly-phobic society of our current times.

I began working on When the Wolves Came In after a visit to the Hector Pieterson Museum in Soweto, South Africa. While there, I became fixated on the power of perception, and the ways that the 13-year-old Pieterson’s death in an anti-Apartheid protest shines a spotlight on questions of personal choice and collective rights in the struggle for freedom. For Michael Brown, Tyler Clementi, Eric Garner, Islan Nettles, and the countless other faceless and nameless women and men facing violence and discrimination, these questions still have terrible resonance. Max Roach’s album timelessly tackles these very same issues and questions; his jazz work figures as an evaluation of rights perceived through his experience and expressed through his art. As dance works, this program was created to live in a skin well aware of the cyclical hardships of our history, and the very present fear of an unknowable future. -Kyle Abraham

KYLE ABRAHAM KYLE ABRAHAM is a current City Center Fellow and 2013 MacArthur Fellow who began his dance training at the Civic Light Opera Academy and the Creative and Performing Arts High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He continued his dance studies in New York, receiving a BFA from SUNY Purchase and an MFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. In November 2012, Abraham was named the newly appointed New York Live Arts Resident Commissioned Artist for 2012–2014. Just one month later, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater premiered Abraham’s Another Night, at New York’s City Center to rave reviews. Rebecca Bengal of Vogue wrote, “What Abraham brings to Ailey is an avant-garde aesthetic, an original and politically minded downtown sensibility that doesn’t distinguish between genres but freely draws on a vocabulary that is as much Merce and Martha as it is Eadweard Muybridge and Michael Jackson.” That same year, Abraham was named the 2012 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award recipient and 2012 United States Artists Ford Fellow. Abraham received a prestigious Bessie Award for Outstanding Performance in Dance for his work in The Radio Show, and a Princess Grace Award for Choreography in 2010. The previous year, he was selected as one of Dance Magazine’s 25 To Watch for 2009, and received a Jerome Travel and Study Grant in 2008.

His choreography has been presented throughout the United States and abroad, most recently at On The Boards, South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, REDCAT, Philly Live Arts, Portland’s Time Based Arts Festival, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Danspace Project, Dance Theater Workshop, Bates Dance Festival, Harlem Stage, Fall for Dance Festival at New York’s City Center, Montreal, Germany, Jordan, Ecuador, Dublin’s Project Arts Center, The Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum located in Okinawa Japan, The Andy Warhol Museum and Kelly Strayhorn Theater in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. In addition to performing and developing new works for his company, Abraham.In.Motion, Abraham recently finished touring The Serpent and The Smoke, a new pas de deux for himself and acclaimed Bessie Award-winning and former New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Wendy Whelan as part of Restless Creature and choreographed a new commissioned work entitled Counterpoint for Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and the Chicago Dancing Festival. In December 2015, Abraham premiered a new work for the Juilliard School and his second commission for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. In 2011, OUT Magazine labeled Abraham as the “best and brightest creative talent to emerge in New York City in the age of Obama.”

ABOUT THE COMPANY The mission of Kyle Abraham/Abraham.In.Motion is to create an evocative interdisciplinary body of work. Born into hip-hop culture in the late 1970s and grounded in Abraham’s artistic upbringing in classical cello, piano, and the visual arts, the goal of the movement is to delve into identity in relation to a personal history. The work entwines a sensual and provocative vocabulary with a strong emphasis on sound, human behavior and all things visual in an effort to create an avenue for personal investigation and exposing that on stage. A.I.M. is a representation of dancers from various disciplines and diverse personal backgrounds. Combined together, these individualities create movement that is manipulated and molded into something fresh and unique. Abraham.In.Motion is a proud supporter of Dancers Responding to AIDS, which helps ensure that those most in need receive the care

and comfort they would otherwise do without. Founded in 1991 by former Paul Taylor Dance Company members Denise Roberts Hurlin and Hernando Cortez, DRA relies on the extraordinary compassion and efforts of the performing arts community to fund a safety net of social services for those in need. Together, we can make a difference for those less fortunate than us. Donate at www.dradance.org/donate. Support the creation of new work and community outreach!

“presented series” in the performing arts. The roots of some university presenting programs, such as the University Musical Society in Ann Arbor, reach back over 125 years. Often such programs were, at the beginning, simply a labor of love for an individual faculty member. Over the second half of the 20th century, such programs grew and became more organized and professional. Today, universities are among the most important patrons of the performing arts in the country. They commission artists to create new work, offer important residencies for artists to develop their work, share their knowledge and skills with students and communities, and present performances in their cities and towns that might not otherwise occur there.

MEET ROBERT AND JUDI NEWMAN 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 Trustee of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and the Denver Art Museum. He is a former member of DU’s Board of Trustees and currently serves on the Daniels School Executive Advisory Council. 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.”

THE LASTING DIFFERENCE MADE BY ENDOWMENT GIFTS The construction of the Newman Center and all its public and backstage spaces was only possible because of generous donors, many of whose gifts have been recognized through the naming of spaces. Moreover, continued gifts to and income from the Newman Center Building Endowment help ensure constant care and upkeep of our world-class venues and state-of-the-art systems.
