SISI REID
GRIFFITH KAZMIERCZAK
My name is Sisi Reid and I am a double major in anthropology and theatre. I didn’t think I would ever be in theatre. I never thought it would happen. I kind of tripped into it. I got into the Weekday Players, a student group, and then I heard about auditions for e Old Settler. And I went in without a headshot or a resume, into this world I knew nothing about, I was cast as an understudy and that pretty much changed my life.
To me courage is not the absence of fear, but the overcoming of it. I think part of live performance, part of the enjoyment of it, is the thrill and the excitement. ere’s the pressure of the audience fulfilling our expectations and tearing them down in an interesting way. And if you are considering what the audience is expecting, naturally there is a little — maybe not fear — but certain apprehension. And so I think that’s a vital part of a creative experience, particularly for live performance.
Doing that show was pretty fearless because any time I’m standing on stage it’s this complete vulnerability. I have to stand and look at an audience filled with people and talk about something that’s true to the character and really connect to what I am saying. I have to let go of Sisi’s baggage and just commit to the show, otherwise the show won’t be successful. So I love that the theatre pushes me so much to change.

Observing the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, this symposium will be both commemorative and forward-looking. Hosted by the Clarice Smith Center, in partnership with the UMD School of Public Policy and the UMD School of Public Health, the symposium will be comprised of scholarly presentations and stimulating theatrical performances. It will place the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in its historic context, both as the culmination of the struggle since the Emancipation Proclamation and as the stage-setting for a new generation of struggles to address the important — but often hidden — inequalities of our time.

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of her company, choreographer Margaret Jenkins returns to the Clarice Smith Center with the world premiere of Times Bones, a new work co-commissioned by the Center. Created in collaboration with the MJDC dancers, composer Paul Dresher, visual designer Alexander V. Nichols and poet Michael Palmer, Times Bones features live music by the Paul Dresher Ensemble. A special prelude will begin in the Center lobby at 7:30PM and moves to the Kay eatre, drawing the audience along in an actual — as well as a metaphorical — journey. e Margaret Jenkins Dance Company is known nationwide for creating highly charged kinetic works that are at once physically rigorous and intellectually demanding. Inspired by the myth of Osiris, Jenkins, with her dancers and collaborators, gathers the scattered “bones” of her past repertory, finding a new dance at the collision of past and present. One of the great masters of dance, Jenkins propels the artists and the audience on a journey forward into a rich and unknown territory. During a one-week residency leading up to the performance, members of the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company will work with students from the UMD School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies.

Herds of galloping horses. Wind-swept, wide-open grasslands. A nomadic culture, open-hearted hospitality and an abiding love of music and singing. e rich world of Mongolia comes to life in concert as AnDa Union performs songs inspired by the past while creating a new sound for a generation. Members of AnDa Union describe themselves as music gatherers who dig deep into Mongol tradition unearthing the forgotten music that forms the basis of their contemporary work: “Our music draws from all the Mongol tribes that Genghis Khan unified. We all have different ethnic backgrounds and we bring these influences into our music. ere is a wealth of folk music for us to learn, so our repertoire of songs is like a drop in the ocean.” AnDa Union’s concerts feature driving, percussive pieces like “Ten ousand Galloping Horses” and “Grasslands Journey,” as well as haunting guttural throat songs and the clear long notes of urinduu (long-song). Arrayed in stunning traditional Mongolian clothing, the musicians perform on the horse-head fiddle (morin khuur), as well as traditional percussion, wind and plucked instruments.

Arguably the most prominent woman bandleader in the jazz field today, Maria Schneider’s music blurs the lines between genres and she finds the word “jazz” limiting, which is why she calls her ensemble the Maria Schneider Orchestra. As she told an interviewer for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, “I always think of big-band music as theme and variations. My music’s much more through-composed, like classical music. And on my last two records, I don’t even use the word ‘jazz’ anymore.”
During the Orchestra’s residency at the Center, audiences will have the opportunity to experience the range of expression possible with contemporary big band as will UMD School of Music students who will work with members of the Orchestra in a day-long residency.

When I was a young girl growing up in Vienna my family used to go to the Salzburg Festival and I remember the first time I ever saw their presentation of Jedermann (this means Everyman in English). It’s a medieval morality play about a rich man and what he has to do to save his soul on judgment day, a classic play. e festival displayed it outdoors in the plaza in front of the Cathedral. It was so impressive; I think it was one of the greatest things I ever saw. is was before Hitler came to power and changed all our lives. I was lucky enough to leave Austria for Paris before things got really bad — purely by accident, in all honesty. I went because I was a spoiled 20-year-old and wanted to see Paris. And, again, I was lucky enough to obtain a visa even though I had a Jewish mother. But still there were some terrible years for me in France during the war. So after the Nazis came, everything changed of course. For the upper and middle classes in Austria, life before the war was very pleasant. ere was a douceur, a sweetness, about life. We had summers at the lake — swimming and tea, hiking, dressing up to go dancing or go see a play. I have adapted to this country, I’m happy here, I like it. But there’s always a certain nostalgia for this kind of a life. My husband and I went back to Salzburg in 1951, after coming to this country to live, and once again we saw Jedermann. And they still present it at the festival there, every year. So some things continue.

ornton Wilder’s 1955 comedy reveals the exploits of matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi, a widow who brokers marriages and other transactions in Yonkers, New York at the turn of the 20th century. Hired by local merchant Horace Vandergelder to find a wife, Dolly sets her sights on the eligible widower herself. Slapstick ensues — mistaken identities, secret rendezvous, separated lovers and even a trip to night court — but in the end everyone finds themselves paired with a perfect match. When e Matchmaker premiered, ornton Wilder was considered to be one of America’s most important authors, with two Pulitzer Prizes to his credit. Critics had to adjust their expectations for the play, which seemed to adhere to melodramatic conventions that contrasted starkly with Wilder’s other work. Wilder himself suggested that the play was a way to shake off “the nonsense of the nineteenth-century staging” by making fun of it. But whether taken at face value or viewed as a commentary on theatrical conventions, e Matchmaker has proven to have staying power onstage. The Matchmaker (Thornton Wilder) is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

When he was 15, Toronto bandleader Jane Bunnett engaged him to tour North America with her group, Spirits of Havana; two years later, he won the first-ever elonious Monk Institute Afro-Latin Hand Drum Competition. His New York-based Pedrito Martinez Group has its roots planted firmly in the Afro-Cuban rumba tradition and in the bata rhythms and vocal chants of the music of Yoruba and Santeria. His music has won a fan base that includes such musical luminaries as Ravi Coltrane, Taj Mahal, Eric Clapton, John Scofield, Roger Waters and Derek Trucks, among others.

DaViD DorfMan Dance Come, and Back Again
November 1 & 2, 2013 . 8PM Kay Theatre . $35/$28 subscriber
Few topics seem to be out of bounds for choreographer David Dorfman. In more than 25 years of dance-making, he has investigated all manner of subjects, from the nature of athleticism to the big ideas that define our humanity. Despite the serious nature of these inquiries, his dances are alive with humor and the unbridled joy of movement. Come, and Back Again is an exploration of vulnerability, mortality and the virtuosity required to live daily life. Driven by the charged poetry and unapologetic, raw ferocity of the underground ’90s Atlanta band Smoke, five dancers and five musicians embark on a kinetic anthem of reckless personal abandon, exploring how time and memory influence and define our slippery, elastic existence. e members of the live band will inhabit the stage with the dancers, which includes Dorfman playing the roles of both dancer and saxophonist. e other band members will be auditioned from our local community. David Dorfman says, “Come, and Back Again has been a lovely, twisted road of passionate pursuit for me and for the company and collaborators. We began with an adoration of poetic rock and roll as evidenced by Patti Smith among others. We’ve ended up with a dance about mess, joy, loss and survival of love at all costs.”

Staples’ career began in the 1950s when her family’s iconic gospel-folk group, e Staple Singers, became a popular household name with hits such as “I’ll Take You ere” and “Respect Yourself.” e Staples Singers’ spiritual and political sound became a musical voice of the Civil Rights movement alongside that of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Decades later, Staples’ notable collaborations as a solo artist include Ray Charles, Natalie Merchant, Bob Dylan, Prince and Wilco. About her songs she says, “ey’re about the world today — poverty, jobs, welfare, all of that — and making it feel better through these songs.” Staples has been said to have “an almost superhuman ability to implant the pure power of passion and emotion” (Rolling Stone).

Based on three short plays by Molière, Molière Impromptu is a wickedly funny look at the magic of theatre. Set in 1665 Versailles, the play presents a director’s nightmare as the members of Molière’s Illustre eatre gather to rehearse a new play commissioned by the King for a performance that very night. e script is in horrible shape, the straight man wants to leave the troupe, marital spats are ripping the company apart, the intern is lobbying for a bigger part and the lead actress can never remember her lines. First performed by Trinity Repertory Company in 2005, the play is a contemporary take on the works of one of the great masters of Western comedy.

DR. MAYRON TSONG
ARTIST, TEACHER, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF PIANO . UMD SCHOOL OF MUSIC sincere interest — was so clear. ey were all freezing but everyone stayed until the end of the concert.
Some years ago, I gave a concert at an Arts College in Yunnan province, China. Because there was no heat and the concert was in December, it was terribly cold in the hall. My parents were with me and my mother insisted that I wear sweaters underneath my concert dress, so I looked quite huge, but at least I was warm enough, or so I hoped! My hands and fingers were cold and stiff and I feared the concert would not go well.
is experience ignited a change in me because it was the first time I became aware of the audience, and I realized how that mutual appreciation and communication between artist and audience is at the heart of any performance art. Honestly, I probably could have played better because it was just so cold and uncomfortable but I was so moved by the experience as a whole, and when it came together the way it did, it turned out I wanted to communicate with the audience just as much as they wanted to hear me play.
When I looked out into the audience, not only was it full, but people were standing around the entire perimeter of the hall. ey were draped with blankets and they wore big coats, hats and gloves, yet the mood was good, even excited. I was really moved because their interest — their most

November 20 – 22, 2013 . 8PM Kogod Theatre . $35/$28 subscriber
e Center continues its tradition of innovative puppet presentations with Blind Summit eatre in e Table. Intended to be a theatrical interpretation of the story of Moses — in real time — e Table is performed by a grizzled, crotchety old man. But the grumpy puppet narrator strays far from the planned storyline and winds up playing out his own comedic, existential crisis as the puppeteers improvise and interact with each other and the audience. e show is done in the Bunraku style, with multiple puppeteers visible to the audience, and is performed completely on the table top. Blind Summit’s puppeteers breathe poignant life into their characters and using humor and improvisation, show us something of ourselves in the cardboard, wood and fabric creations onstage. Recommended for audiences over the age of 12 for strong language. Blind Summit most recently appeared at the Center in the 2007 – 2008 season with its production Low Life.

In honor of the centennial of Benjamin Britten’s birth, the Maryland Opera Studio proudly presents his rollicking 1947 comedy. In an English village, the imperious Lady Billows strikes a blow against the immorality of the local girls by breaking with tradition and crowning a King of the May. Albert Herring, the hapless lad selected, unfortunately chooses this moment to change his “good boy” image.

Where and from whom do our daily habits derive? How do we get stuck in patterns that we can’t see? Why are habitual patterns often cyclical? In Way Out, Jessica Laurita-Spanglet will explore the nature of our physical habits, and how those habits relate to our emotional patterns. e episodic piece will seek to expand on the traditional relationship between the performer and the audience member, engaging both in a shared sensory experience. Dancers and audience alike will move through several different surroundings during the course of the evening — a creative approach to site-specific choreography in keeping with site-specific curriculum that is part of the MFA in Dance program. Choreographer Laurita-Spanglet wants to “create an immersive theatrical experience allowing the audience to occupy the space with the performers and involve themselves in the show in a way that a typical audience cannot. … By pushing the boundaries of a traditional performance venue, and engaging with the audience in a non-traditional way, my show explore[s] unusual vantage points, perspective and depth of audience engagement.”

Praised by audiences for its varied repertoire, this annual event has a loyal following. Spirit and spectacle combine in a two-hour extravaganza that features the finest wind repertoire plus the ever-popular Mighty Sound of Maryland Marching Band.
Schoenberg reacted to the extravagance of late-Romantic music with his Chamber Symphony. Dense and concise, the work points to the future of 20th-century music. Berlioz departs from his dramatic and theatrical composition style and embraces Classical traditions in his Grande Symphonie Funebre et Triomphale. Millennium Canons, composed in 2000 by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Kevin Puts, celebrates the turn of the century.

e Christmas story has a rich history of images and associations that have evolved through the ages. Celebrating this heritage with a selection of works by composers from the Middle Ages to the present, this Music in Mind concert for choir and orchestra explores the commonalities of “light” in Jewish and Christian celebrations of the season with music of Ernst Bloch, Aaron Copland and Arcangelo Corelli (from the “Christmas Concerto”). Images of Mary and the infant and Jesus in our literary and musical history appear in works of Claudio Monteverdi, Hugo Distler and Francis Poulenc, as well as J.S. Bach’s beloved “Wachet auf” (“Sleepers wake”) cantata, a work with deep metaphorical connections to the season of Advent. The Music in Mind series celebrates the role of music in our culture and our lives, explores sources of inspiration and points of intersection in musical traditions, and presents music in a context that encourages reflection and discovery. proceeds from Music in Mind concerts benefit the uMD school of Music’s undergraduate scholarship fund.

ANTHONY DE MARE PIANIST
Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses, based on Ovid’s poems and tales of transformation, also moved me tremendously. e writing in many ways is ageless, its power still so prominent in the modern times we live in. I remember leaving the theater and having to go sit down on a bench outside, feeling like I was still immersed in the pool of water that was the central aspect of the set design. I was just so lost in thought, feeling and revelation.
Although I am a concert pianist, two of the most moving performing arts experiences for me were in the theatre. One was just a few years ago in New York, during a performance of the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George. It was a British production, directed by the young Sam Buntrock, who had also worked in film and animation. e incorporation of animation within the set design throughout the show was stunning. I was also particularly struck by the simplicity of the staging and how it reflected the inner wisdom of Sondheim’s work, especially the richness of the musical score, as well as leaving an emotional impact on the viewer. e entire production moved me to tears many times over. Being so aware at the time of how this experience completely enveloped me, I realized this production deepened my love and respect for Sondheim’s work even more.
ese two significantly different theatrical experiences really had an impact on me, as a musician as well as a human being. As a musician, one synthesizes so many unconscious ideas that we’re often not aware have a connection to the notes on the page. When you perform, the piano becomes an extension of the body and of the being; the composer’s language is being interpreted personally as well as literally. And all that you’ve experienced in the past has a profound influence on your ability to do that.

e Washington Post has called the Annual Choreographers’ Showcase “a rite of passage in the DC area dance community.” In its 31-year history, it has given audiences a sneak peek at the work of numerous artists who go on to become mainstays of the D.C. dance scene. Presented in collaboration with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, the showcase features six to seven distinct choreographic works in a range of styles each year including modern dance, contemporary ballet, aerial choreography, world dance, hip-hop and more. Performers are chosen through a rigorous adjudication process and each program offers a unique combination of genres and visions — truly a feast of the unexpected.
DaViD roussèVe/realiTY WORLD PREMIERE Stardust
January 31 & February 1, 2014 . 8PM Kay Theatre . $35/$28 subscriber
Choreographed, written and directed by David Roussève, Stardust follows an African American gay urban teenager’s dreams, misgivings and challenges. Never seen onstage, the protagonist is present only by the emotion-laden tweets and text messages he sends, which are projected onto multiple surfaces by Roussève’s long-time collaborator Cari Ann Shim Sham. Stardust juxtaposes fluidity and freneticism, in both its movement and musical score. Lush, jazz-inflected dancing is leavened by frenetic, angular representations of the teenager’s anxious states of mind, in movement performed by a mixed-age company of dancers. e soundscape pairs the intimate romanticism of Nat King Cole standards with rough-edged, hip-hop inflected original music by d. Sabela Grimes. Designer Christopher Kuhl’s lighting will support both the emotional textures and surreal quality of the work. The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center co-commissioned Stardust, which will receive its world premiere at the Center. As part of his engagement at the Clarice Smith Center, Roussève will be in residency in several visits during fall 2013, working with local ministries on issues of homosexuality and acceptance in the African American community. This project is supported in part by an award from the national endowment for the arts. Facing page: Anthony de Mare photo by Mike Ciesielski; above: David Roussève/Reality photo by Valerie Oliveiro

Pianist Chick Corea. Vocalist Bobby McFerrin. A performance by either of these stellar artists would be cause for celebration, but together onstage they create a truly momentous musical occasion. Now, more than 20 years after their first collaboration, these two extraordinary musicians revisit their legendary chemistry in a concert at the Clarice Smith Center. In past performances together, their unexpected riffs and pure joy in creation have made for an unparalleled live music experience — not only for the audience, but for themselves. “Chick has this amazing harmonic capacity,” McFerrin says. “Even though he might play a piece that we’ve played before, it’s always different because you never know what we’re going to find. We’re like musical explorers.” Corea says, “When we’re onstage and I’m playing and the music is happening — and people are receiving it and it’s lifting them up — it’s indescribable how wonderful that is and how fulfilling that is to me.” funded in part by a generous gift from barbara and charles reiher.

Trio Da Kali consists of three musicians from the Mande culture of Mali, who come from a long line of distinguished griots (specialist hereditary musical artisans). Long-term collaborators, the artists aim to bring to the forefront neglected repertoires and performance styles of the griots, celebrating the African continent’s finest, most subtle and sublime music. In doing so, they bring a fresh, contemporary, creative twist to their musical art, breathing new life back into this ancient music.
Kronos Quartet’s ongoing residency at the Center includes working closely with composition students in the UMD School of Music. For the fourth consecutive year, Kronos Quartet will partner with UMD School of Music composition students to write new works for string quartet, mentoring the students through the composition process. Kronos will perform the completed compositions in a public reading session.
Trio Da Kali presents a performance that revolves around the soaring, rounded vibrato voice of Hawa Kassé Mady, who performs the songs she grew up with in Kela, one of the most musical centers of the griot world. e program includes dazzling solo balafon pieces by the group’s leader Lassama Diabaté on the 22-key balafon. Few can match his lyricism and virtuosity, and the resonant sound of the rosewood keys of his balafon. Mamadou Kouyaté underpins the music with punchy bass lines on a large ngoni, West Africa’s oldest string instrument.

In Messiaen’s words, “I am a Catholic and I believe in neither war nor death. I therefore decided to write a piece about life.” e result was his monumental Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum, the centerpiece of this program.

Known for its raucous performance spirit, Pig Iron eatre Company is the first English-language company to premiere Okada’s work and is making its Clarice Smith Center debut with Zero Cost House. Founded in 1995 as an interdisciplinary ensemble, the company is dedicated to the creation of new and exuberant performance works that defy easy categorization. e company calls itself a “dance-clown-theatre ensemble” whose focus moves from character to space to contact with the audience.

COSTUME SHOP COORDINATOR, CLARICE SMITH PERFORMING ARTS CENTER From seventh to twelfth grade I played flute in my high school band, which recruited middle-schoolers to help round up the numbers in our small Massachusetts community. We played a mix of classical and contemporary music and so I learned to appreciate Mozart and Bach as well as Broadway show tunes. My favorite part of playing in the band was rehearsal. After we played a section of music, our director would stop us, break down each part by instrument and explain how to play it better either through tempo, dynamics or technique. We would practice again and, slowly, our playing improved until we were ready for performance. One day in rehearsal after playing a particularly rousing rendition of the Impresario Overture, the entire band begged to play it again. And we did while our director beamed. I came to realize that often the work the audience hears does not reflect the richness of the performer’s experience. For me, then and now, process is always the most satisfying part of any performance.

One of the elder statesmen of jazz piano, Kenny Barron turned 70 on June 9, 2013. As part of his 70th birthday season, he will perform at the Clarice Smith Center with the Kenny Barron Platinum Band — a stellar group of musicians including Kenny Barron, piano; Marcus Strickland, tenor saxophone; Lionel Loueke, guitar; Linda Oh, bass; and Lee Pearson, drums. Barron’s career began in the ’60s with the Dizzy Gillespie Band and has included memorable recordings with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, saxophonist Stan Getz, bassist Charlie Haden and many other jazz luminaries. When Barron was named a 2010 Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts — the highest honor in jazz that the nation bestows — he told interviewer Molly Murphy that he was originally drawn to jazz in part because of the satisfaction he gets from improvisation: “… it amazes me just to [be] able to grab a handful of notes out of thin air and make something out of it, to make a statement, to tell a story … to reach out to somebody. … If you can do that, then I think you’ve accomplished something.”

Michael Votta, music director Friday, May 2, 2014 . 8PM Dekelboum Concert Hall $25/$20 subscriber
is final program of the UMD Wind Orchestra’s 2013–2014 season pairs the playful rhythms and varied orchestral textures of Magnus Lindberg’s Gran Duo with the blended, consistent and serene qualities of Steve Reich’s Tehillim. Lindberg, who served as Composer-inResidence with the New York Philharmonic from 2009 – 2011, is known for using musical language that is highly complex yet highly full of vim and verve. Reich is one of the pioneering composers of minimal music; his 1981 work Tehillim was the first major composition to reference his new-found interest in his Jewish heritage and it is seen as something of a departure from his earlier, more experimental, works. e concert opens with a preview of the UMD Symphony Orchestra’s original interpretation of Copland’s Appalachian Spring with movement design by UMD alumna and renowned choreographer Liz Lerman.
Denis o’hare An Iliad
Lisa Peterson & Denis O’Hare/ Homer’s Coat, production company
May 2 & 3, 2014 . 8PM Kay Theatre . $40/$32 subscriber
In An Iliad, actor Denis O’Hare and director Lisa Peterson telescope Homer’s great poem about the Trojan War into an intimate solo show illuminating both the heroism and the horror of warfare. Set in a contemporary milieu, the one-man performance stars an ageless Greek singer and poet. e script is rendered in contemporary vernacular language with occasional snatches of verse and even a few bellowed lines in Homer’s original Greek. e play’s sole narrator, a battered-looking character who claims to have been recounting the yarn throughout the ages, combines the reverence and mystery of ancient Greek mythology with the dynamic urban rhythms of contemporary life. O’Hare describes his character as “a ‘living book’ sitting on the shelf, and either he’s being pulled down off the shelf by willing participants or he’s willing himself off the shelf to fall open in a time when the culture needs him.” uMD school of Music

In 1991, the violent police assault of African American Rodney King ignited international outrage after being captured on videotape and aired widely. A year later in 1992, in the aftermath of the trial and acquittal of the police officers charged with assault, protest and riots broke out in the streets of Los Angeles, where the incident took place. MacArthur ‘Genius,’ award-winning playwright and actress Anna Deavere Smith weaves a stunning, comprehensive portrait through the verbatim words of 40 people from the ashes of the riots in this explosive piece of documentary theatre.
James Ross, music director Liz Lerman, movement design Sunday, May 4, 2014 . 4PM Dekelboum Concert Hall . $30/$24 subscriber
Continuing their exploration of the relationship between movement and music, UMSO musicians will take a choreographic approach to Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring. e orchestra members will perform the work from memory with movement design from UMD alumna and renowned choreographer Liz Lerman. e program also includes Dutilleux’s Métaboles and Gershwin/ Bennett’s Porgy and Bess: Symphonic Picture. The Music in Mind series celebrates the role of music in our culture and our lives, explores sources of inspiration and points of intersection in musical traditions, and presents music in a context that encourages reflection and discovery. proceeds from Music in Mind concerts benefit the uMD school of Music’s undergraduate scholarship fund.
Nominated for the 1994 Tony Award for Best Play, Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 is the result of nearly 300 interviews Smith conducted in a nine-month span with gang members, police officers, lawyers, activists and shopkeepers from a diversity of class and racial backgrounds. Twilight offers a searing look at the impact of social, economic and political lines that divide not only a city, but also a nation, through the lens of a seminal moment in modern United States history.
TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES, 1992 is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York. claricesmithcenter.umd.edu | 301.405.arTs (2787) 45

GABRIELLA MEITERMAN-RODRIGUEZ
DANCE STUDENT . UMD SCHOOL OF THEATRE, DANCE, AND PERFORMANCE STUDIES When I was younger, I had to perform an improvised dance solo and I was really nervous because at that time my confidence level in my own dancing was not where it is now. But my professor believed in me so much that he decided to make a fool of himself with me and improvise with me. My solo turned into a duet and it just became really fun, really free, and that’s how I feel with dance now. He basically pushed me light-years ahead of myself at a young age. It’s one of the best things ever, knowing your teachers believe in you and are willing to put themselves out there with you, just to make sure you’ll grow and believe in yourself.

with special guest Eugenia León
Saturday, May 10, 2014 . 7PM Dekelboum Concert Hall . $35/$28 subscriber
PostClassical Ensemble (PCE) presents vibrant cross-disciplinary programs that give audiences deeper context for musical works and the times in which they were written. is season PCE will present Mexican Revolution, a multi-event, multimedia program that explores themes of human rights and cultural expression. e first half of the May 10 performance will feature Mexican popular songs, performed by the legendary singer Eugenia León and PCE. In the second half of the program, audiences experience the Mexican film masterpiece Redes (1936), an iconic product of the Mexican Revolution, accompanied by Silvestre Revueltas’ scorching symphonic score performed live by PCE. Redes is a 60-minute black-and-white film with lush cinematography by renowned photographer and cinematographer Paul Strand; it was co-directed by Emilio Gómez Muriel and Fred Zinnemann, who later directed High Noon, From Here to Eternity and A Man for All Seasons. In telling the story of poor fishermen victimized by monopoly control of their market, Redes argues for organized resistance as a necessary means of political reform. As part of an ongoing residency, the Center, in partnership with the Mexican Cultural Institute and PCE, will bring a contemporary Mexican composer who will conduct a residency with the UMD School of Music.

HAROLD AND MARTHA QUAYLE DONORS
We became interested in opera way back in the ’60s, in the early days of the Opera Society of Washington. en in the ’90s we just really got started traveling to see operas. A favorite thing of ours is to see new operas. Whenever we see a world premiere going on somewhere, we try to go to it. We go a lot of places — Houston, Chicago, New York — but one of the best performances I ever saw anywhere was right here at the Clarice Smith Center several years ago when we saw Tales of Hoffman. It was just a sensational production and excellent singing. So that comes to mind when we think about great experiences.

Observing the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, this symposium will be both commemorative and forward-looking by placing the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in its historic context, both as the culmination of the struggle since the Emancipation Proclamation and as the stage-setting for a new generation of struggles to address the important — but often hidden — inequalities of our time.
