DEAR FRIENDS, Spring is a season of beginnings, of growth and development, and as we leave behind the cold of winter, we can look ahead to the next phase of development here at the Center for the Performing Arts. Over the past year, the Center’s staff, board members and community stakeholders have crafted a new strategic plan to guide our operation into the future. It starts with a new mission statement that reflects how our work has evolved since our opening in 2011, and how we intend to broaden and deepen our impact in the years ahead:

The mission of the Center for the Performing Arts is to engage and inspire the Central Indiana community through enriching arts experiences. Our goal is to secure our standing as an indispensable community asset serving the entire region, certainly through the performances we present, but increasingly in the arts education programs and other experiential opportunities we provide for people of all ages. To that end, we have identified strategic objectives in six key areas: • Innovative Programming • Community Arts Education • Community Awareness and Engagement • Financial Sustainability • Partnerships, Collaborations and Connections • Organizational Structure and Culture In each of those areas, we are developing specific tactical steps and tangible goals – some bold, perhaps, but all attainable – that will strengthen our organization and enhance the value we bring to the community. As always, our continued success is assured only with the support and input of generous donors, sponsors, volunteers and patrons like you, who give us our reason for being. We’re glad to have you with us on this journey!

KIP MOORE: ROOM TO SPARE ACOUSTIC TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUESTS MUSCADINE BLOODLINE Friday, March 8 at 8PM | The Palladium Described by Rolling Stone as “one of country music’s most tireless and powerful live draws,” Kip Moore became an instant star when his platinum-selling debut album, Up All Night, spawned three No. 1 hits: “Beer Money,” “Hey Pretty Girl” and the smash “Somethin’ 'Bout a Truck.” His acclaimed third studio album, Slowheart, included the Top 10 country hits "Last Shot" and “More Girls Like You” and landed on multiple "Best Of" lists, including Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Taste of Country and PopMatters. Moore’s latest collection, released in November, is Room to Spare: The Acoustic Sessions. The seven-song EP, which kicks off with an unplugged version of fan favorite “Plead the Fifth,” showcases Moore’s signature sound in a strippeddown setting that highlights his gritty vocals and evocative lyrics.

Passing the Torch

Pianist Marcus Roberts schools young colleagues on the roots of jazz By Scott Hall

reat music depends on real communication, Marcus Roberts says – communication among musicians, communication between performer and audience – and it carries a lesson we can apply to our harried lives in the digital age. “Things move very fast, and there’s a lot of data, people texting back and forth,” says the jazz pianist and composer, who rose to national attention in Wynton Marsalis’ 1980s ensemble. “In my opinion, we’re actually communicating less with each other. We’re throwing a lot of meaningless details around, and we’re losing touch with the foundation of communication, which is taking the time to think about what someone’s saying to you, think about what they mean to you, think about what it is that you’re actually, long-range, wanting to achieve with them. … “If a band plays, if it’s a real band, you see a constant conversation going on, where everybody’s getting to express their thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and what they actually know, and their individual power as a musician. But they have to put it inside of a shared agenda where you make room for everyone involved to do that.” That’s the spirit Roberts tries to maintain in his trio with drummer Jason Marsalis and bassist Rodney Jordan, and in his extended ensemble, the Modern Jazz

Generation, which performs May 4 at the Palladium. The larger group adds several brass and wind players, most of them 20-something alumni of Florida State University, where Roberts studied and now teaches. Mentoring younger players is central to Roberts’ work and a way to recognize the support he has received through the years from his family, teachers, church community and other musicians. Growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, Roberts began losing his vision to glaucoma and cataracts at age 5. He taught himself piano, with no formal instruction until age 12, and he learned braille at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind, also the alma mater of Ray Charles. “I always said that if I was ever successful doing it, I would always try to help young men and women who want to play, and try not to base it exclusively on their talent level,” he says. “That’s really why this band exists.” Aside from his personal story, Roberts says multigenerational collaboration is vital to the history and future of jazz itself. “August Wilson (the late playwright) told me that to carry on any tradition, you need three generations of people communicating about it. It takes two generations to raise the next generation. And I never forgot that,” he says. “If you’ve got three generations connected, you can cover a wide range of (Continued...)

years that are relevant to all of those generations, and they help each other figure out how to use the information that was figured out by the people who are doing the mentoring. But even the folks that you’re mentoring, the young people, they do bring a lot of energy, and their understanding of technology, and their love of the music that they grew up listening to. … We need them, and they need us, and I think that authentic relationship is what people like to see. With this particular group, it’s a band, but it’s really something a lot deeper – it’s really a community.”

“We’re not trying to create some weird museum where we’re just infatuated with the past. It’s a reverence for the standards they set. It’s a way of ensuring that the music will continue to be played at a high level.”

Roberts’ own mentors have included other blind keyboard players, such as the late jazz great George Shearing, who urged the teenaged Roberts to learn how to read braille music, and his childhood idol Stevie Wonder, now a friend who keeps him posted on the latest technology for the visually impaired. For many years, Roberts avoided discussing his disability, not wanting it to define his work, “We’re not trying to but over time his thinking create some weird has evolved. museum where we’re just infatuated with the past. “Everybody’s got some struggle or adversity that It’s a reverence for the they’re dealing with, and if standards they set.” they can understand how

Key to that interaction is an appreciation for the pioneers and the traditions of jazz. As an associate of the Marsalis family, Roberts is often lumped into the socalled neo-bop or neoclassical wave of players who rejected electric fusion and avant-garde free jazz in favor of the swing, syncopation, harmony and melody of earlier eras. They were criticized in some circles for taking the music “backwards.” “For some reason, in jazz music there is this weird sense that if you study great achievements, that’s actually going to stop you from being great. It’s never made one bit of sense to me,” Roberts says. “When we were recording and working on stuff with Wynton in the ’80s, all we honestly wanted to do was become better musicians. We understood that we really couldn’t play blues properly, and we understood that our playing of standards was not up to the level that was established by Louis Armstrong and all these people, so we were really just interested in becoming much more proficient in the art of playing jazz. 10

you were able to confront and manage a disability, that becomes something that can be of uplifting significance to somebody else’s life,” he says. “I have a responsibility to speak up for disabled people and to represent them as people, not as a category, and that’s the issue with categories and labels, because it restricts people into a box that doesn’t really honor their humanity.” • Read an extended version of this story at TheCenterPresents.org/Interviews.
