FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR Welcome to the 2015-2016 Season. As always, the Touhill stages will be busy with the best in performing arts. First, our congratulations to Dance St. Louis! Our longtime presenting partner celebrates its 50th anniversary season this year. Artistic and Executive Director Michael Uthoff built a “greatest hits” lineup, including a return of the very popular Carmina Burana, MOMIX and Paul Taylor Dance Company, to name a few. New this year - fans of improv comedy and the TV show Whose Line Is It Anyway? can look forward to Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood: Two Man Group. Check out the clips on our website to experience the hilarious misadventures you can enjoy live – and participate in, if you’re up for it. Jazz headliners return to the Touhill through our partnership with Jazz St. Louis. We teamed up to bring you the venerable Stanley Clarke Band, headed by four-time Grammy Award-winner and living legend Stanley Clarke. Rising star Gregory Porter won a Grammy in 2014 for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Come see what the buzz behind this up-and-comer is all about. Also celebrating a 50th anniversary is Arlo Guthrie’s iconic “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree.” Guthrie only performs the song live every ten years, and this multimedia show will feature a full 18-minute rendition of the folk classic with nostalgic images from Guthrie’s 48 years of making music. Along the lines of classics, we are introducing a new artist to the Touhill, Classic Albums Live. The group builds a different band to recreate the exact sound of the studio albums you know and love, note for note and cut for cut, in a live environment. The musicians will faithfully reproduce Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, much like an orchestra renders the Beethoven symphonies. Your favorite artists are back, including the Ambassadors of Harmony, the Arianna String Quartet, Saint Louis Ballet, MADCO, and the Variety Children’s Theatre, as well as the International Performing Arts Series. We will also see the return of the popular In the Mood and The Second City. Big band jazz will continue its reign at the Touhill with the Jim Widner Big Band, and the Greater St. Louis Jazz Festival which always promises the biggest names in the genre. I hope you enjoy the 15-16 Touhill season. Thank you for supporting live performing arts!

CLARKE
BAND Four-time Grammy Award-winner Stanley Clarke is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated acoustic and electric bass players in the world. A true pioneer in jazz and jazz-fusion, Clarke is particularly known for his bass dexterity and consummate musicality. Unquestionably, he has attained “living legend” status during his over 40-year career as a bass virtuoso. Doubling on acoustic and electric bass with equal ferocity, Clarke was the first jazz-fusion bassist ever to headline tours, selling out shows worldwide. What’s more, he is equally gifted as a recording artist, performer, composer, conductor, arranger, producer and film score composer. Clarke produced his newest, eagerly awaited CD, The Stanley Clarke Band: UP, released September 2014. He considers UP to be the most energetic, fun, rhythmic and upbeat album –LA Herald Examiner that he has ever done. Unlike his predominant acoustic bass work on the last few albums, UP is almost equal electric and acoustic bass. It has already garnered rave reviews.
“Behold Stanley Clarke, King of Funk ’n’ Roll.”

PORTER If you haven’t yet heard of Gregory Porter, named “the next great male jazz singer” by NPR, take a tip from music critics. They’ll tell you all you need to know about the California native, a 42-year-old former college football player. The New York Times hailed Porter as “a jazz singer of thrilling presence, a booming baritone with a gift for earthy refinement and soaring uplift.” A singer/songwriter, Porter composes socially conscious songs and performs them with such a rich depth of talent that each of his first three albums were Grammy nominated, garnering a win for Liquid Spirit in 2014 for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Praise for his concert performances comes with equal fervor. “In just the past few seasons, Porter has emerged as the leading male jazz vocalist under age 50, and for good reason,” said the Chicago Tribune. “The size and stature of his instrument, the originality of his songwriting and the palpable charisma he brings to the stage position him for an ever-growing audience.”

THIS IS NOT A TRIBUTE BAND. NO GIMMICKS OR FAKE ENGLISH ACCENTS. THIS IS ALL ABOUT LIVE PERFORMANCE OF SOME THE MOST ENDURING ALBUMS OF THE 1960S AND ‘70S - NOTE FOR NOTE. Classic Albums Live brings together some of the country’s finest musicians to recreate, live on stage, the exact sounds of some of the greatest pop/rock albums. “We perform (an) album like an orchestra would perform Mozart. With reverence,” says Founder and Music Director of Classic Albums Live, Craig Martin. The album might require a sitar player, a children’s choir, a string quartet or someone to ring the alarm clock. So Martin builds a performance ensemble specifically for the nuances of each. The result is a concert experience extraordinarily true to the original sound. For this engagement at the Touhill, the group will recreate Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. And, as Martin notes, “the album demands a deft touch… we get fanatical about ‘tone for tone’ and ‘feel for feel.’”

Best of Balanchine: Western Symphony and Serenade
E DANCE
314.516.4949 || touhill.org
These ballets demonstrate the genius of George Balanchine, one of the twentieth century’s most prolific choreographers and considered to be the “father” of American ballet. Personally invited to join New York City Ballet by Balanchine in 1982, Saint Louis Ballet’s Artistic Director Gen Horiuchi is the only living protégé of the great choreographer still dancing today. Horiuchi has invited a member of the Balanchine Trust to choreograph Serenade and Western Symphony for the company. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see these wonderful ballets in St. Louis! Balanchine set Serenade to Tchaikovsky’s 1880 Serenade for Strings in C, Op. 48. Students of the School of American Ballet gave the first performance in 1934; it was the first ballet that Balanchine choreographed in America. Considered to be a milestone in the history of dance, it became one of the signature works in New York City Ballet’s repertory. Comprising four movements, the ballet is performed by dancers in blue costumes in front of a blue background. Western Symphony features cowboys and saloon girls; Balanchine set the ballet to American folk tunes arranged by Hershy Kay. It premiered in 1954. “Bringing Balanchine’s work to St. Louis always makes me proud being a New York City Ballet alumnus; plus being one of the last dancers to have worked with him personally…I couldn’t be more excited to launch this fall season with Serenade and Western Symphony, two of the best of Balanchine’s works dedicated to his love of ballet in America.”

VOLUNTEER Would you like to see more shows?
Do you like helping your community? Are you interested in spending more time with people who share your passion for the performing arts? Consider joining the Touhill Volunteer Guild! The Guild consists of over 120 community members that provide greeters, ticket takers, and ushers for almost all Touhill events. Here’s how it works: Volunteers sign up for the performances that interest them. The Touhill Volunteer Coordinator confirms availibility, then, on the day of the show, assigns posts. Normally, our volunteers get to see the majority of the performance. We ask that volunteers commit to at least 12 events a year with each event requiring about five hours.
To learn more pick up a flyer from the volunteer display in the lobby, visit www.touhill.org/volunteer, call 314-516-4100, or email sjennifer@umsl.edu.
