SUMMARY:Count Basie Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:In the history of Jazz\, there is only one bandleader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold-out concerts all over the world\, with members personally chosen by him\, for nearly 40 years after his passing. Pianist and bandleader William James “Count” Basie was and still is an American institution that personifies the grandeur and excellence of Jazz. The Count Basie Orchestra\, today directed by Scotty Barnhart\, has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once; won 18 Grammy Awards; performed for Kings\, Queens\, and other world Royalty; appeared in several movies and television shows; and at every major jazz festival and major concert hall in the world. \n\n\n\nThe most recent honor is a 2024 Grammy Win of Best Large Jazz Ensemble for Basie Swings the Blues!  Other honors include their 2022 Grammy Nomination for Live at Birdland\, a 2018 Grammy Nomination for All About That Basie\, which features special guests Stevie Wonder\, Jon Faddis\, and Take 6 among others\, and the 2018 Downbeat Readers Poll Award as the #1 Jazz Orchestra in the world. Their critically acclaimed release in 2015 of A Very Swingin’ Basie Christmas! is the very first holiday album in the 80-year history of the orchestra. Released on Concord Music\, it went to #1 on the Jazz charts and sold out on Amazon! Special guests include vocalists Johnny Mathis\, Ledisi\, our own Carmen Bradford\, and pianist Ellis Marsalis. \n\n\n\nA BBC TV-produced documentary on Mr. Basie and the orchestra titled Count Basie: Through His Own Eyes premiered on PBS in the US and UK in 2019 coinciding with the orchestra’s 85th Anniversary. It features interviews by Quincy Jones\, Scotty Barnhart\, Dee Askew\, John Williams\, and several other important members and associates of Mr. Basie and the orchestra.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrchestra/MezzBalconyUNCG Students$7.50$7.50UNCG Faculty/Staff$25.00$25.00Adults$65.00$50.00Seniors/Military$55.00$40.00Children (K-12)$30.00$15.00\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n* Tickets to CVPA and UCLS events are sold exclusively through our box office locations and ETix website\, and nowhere else.

This great 18-member orchestra is continuing the excellent history started by Basie of stomping and shouting the blues\, as well as refining those musical particulars that allow for the deepest and most moving of swing.  \n\n\n\nCurrent members include one musician hired by Basie himself: trombonist Clarence Banks (1984).  Long-time members include Doug Miller (1989\, formerly w/Lionel Hampton)\, guitarist Will Matthews from Kansas City (1996)\, and members who have 15-25 years of service; trombonist Mark Williams\, trumpeters Shawn Edmonds and Endre Rice\, saxophonists Doug Lawrence (formerly w/Benny Goodman) and returning on lead alto\, David Glasser.  Newer members include bassist Trevor Ware\, lead trumpeter Frank Greene III\, trumpeter Brandon Lee\, pianist Reginald Thomas\, lead trombonist Isrea Butler\, bass trombonist Ronald Wilkins\, alto sax and flute Stantawn Kendrick\, and the youngest members\, drummer Robert Boone and baritone saxophonist Josh Lee.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to public presentations\, artists in the UCLS series have important interactions with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses\, talkback sessions\, and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage.

SUMMARY:Brevan Hampden
DESCRIPTION:Brevan Hampden\, Jazz Percussionist\n\n\n\nAfro-Cuban Celebration Featuring Jazz Ensemble I\, Latin Jazz Ensemble\, and Two Student Jazz Combos\n\n\n\nBorn in New York City in 1985\, Brevan was born instantly a member of a high-level musical family; his father Ivan\, who has toured with Luther Vandross\, Vanessa Williams\, Jennifer Lopez\, Roberta Flack\, Grady Tate\, and Ashford & Simpson\, and his mother Brenda\, who has performed on Broadway\, with Dizzy Gillespie\, Angie Bofill\, Marian Anderson\, and Jazzmobile. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrchestra/MezzStudents$6.00Adults$8.00Seniors$6.00\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n* Tickets to CVPA and UCLS events are sold exclusively through our box office locations and ETix website\, and nowhere else. Tickets purchased through third-party vendors cannot be honored. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter moving to Durham\, NC in 1988\, Brevan began showing signs of talent in music from age 7. He began playing percussion in church with his mother and brother at age 9. Soon after\, he began playing pick up gigs and at other churches in the Raleigh/Durham area. His older brother Brian moved to North Carolina when Brevan was 9\, and introduced him to the world of Latin and World Percussion. Brevan learned how to read music in middle school\, playing in concert band and jazz band\, and participated in the marching band once moving on to high school. Although there were no high school programs that catered to Latin percussion or jazz/popular music in general\, Brevan continued his study of percussion\, by listening to and being influenced by percussionists Ray Barretto\, Mongo Santamaria\, Carlos “Patato” Valdes\, Tata Guines\, Changuito\, Giovanni Hidalgo\, Angel “Cachete” Maldonado\, Tito Puente\, Miguel “Anga” Diaz\, Tomas “El Panga” Ramos and other artists such as Curtis Mayfield\, James Brown\, John Coltrane\, Thelonious Monk\, Kool and the Gang\, Parliament\, Daryl “Munyungo” Jackson\, Leon “Ndugu” Chancelor\, Steve Kroon\, Roger Squitero\, Sheila E. and Luis Conte. \n\n\n\nTwice\, during his high school years\, Brevan attended the Berklee World Percussion Festival in Boston\, where he studied with Giovanni Hidalgo\, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez\, Eguie Castrillo\, and Ernesto Diaz. This helped further his knowledge of percussion\, and of music in general\, which\, upon his return to North Carolina allowed him to continue performing locally\, with bands such as Junk in the Trunk\, Samecumba\, Carnavalito\, and the North Carolina Central University (NCCU) Jazz Ensemble\, with whom his other brother\, Iajhi\, was performing at the time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobinson Family Visiting Jazz Artists\n\n\n\nA residency made possible by the Robinson Family Fund\, established by Ward Robinson (’19 PBC Jazz\, ’10 MPH) and Pamela Pittman\, is bringing two jazz luminaries to UNCG’s School of Music this year. Guitarist Peter Bernstein and Percussionist Brevan Hampden will come to Greensboro for residencies with students and concerts which will be open to the public.

In 2008 he founded the Lang Lang International Music Foundation aimed at cultivating tomorrow’s top pianists\, championing music education at the forefront of technology\, and building a young audience through live music experiences. In 2013 Lang Lang was designated by the Secretary General of the United Nations as a Messenger of Peace focusing on global education. \n\n\n\nLang Lang started playing the piano aged three and gave his first public recital before the age of five. He entered Beijing’s Central Music Conservatory aged nine and won First Prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians at 13. He subsequently went to Philadelphia to study with legendary pianist Gary Graffman at the Curtis Institute of Music. He was seventeen when his big break came\, substituting for André Watts at the Gala of the Century\, playing Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Christoph Eschenbach: he became an overnight sensation and the invitations started to pour in. \n\n\n\nLang Lang’s boundless drive to attract new audiences to classical music has brought him tremendous recognition: he was presented with the 2010 Crystal Award in Davos and was picked as one of the 250 Young Global Leaders by the World Economic Forum. He also received  honorary doctorates from the Royal College of Music\, the Manhattan School of Music\, and New York University. In December 2011 he was honored with the highest prize awarded by the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China and received the highest civilian honors in Germany (Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany) and France (Medal of the Order of Arts and Letters). In 2016 Lang Lang was invited to the Vatican to perform for Pope Francis. He has also performed for numerous other international dignitaries\, including four US presidents and monarchs from many nations. \n\n\n\n\n“The ebullient Lang Lang is maturing as an artist… his playing is refined\, almost severe. He has an intelligent way of shaping phrases\, controlling dynamics\, varying articulations… a captivating performance\, the kind that you remember as much for its quiet stretches as for its wow factor. \n\n\n\n— New Yorker \n\n\n\n\n\n“Lang the magician is slowly transforming himself into Lang the musician…there will be no stopping this nonchalant dervish of the keyboard . . .his playing was so raptly beautiful that one was afraid to breathe for fear of missing anything. \n\n\n\n— Chicago Tribune \n\n\n\n\n\nwww.langlangofficial.com \n\n\n\nwww.langlangfoundation.org \n\n\n\nwww.instagram.com/langlangpiano \n\n\n\nwww.facebook.com/langlangpiano \n\n\n\nwww.twitter.com/lang-lang \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to public presentations\, artists in the UCLS series have important interactions with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses\, talkback sessions\, and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage.

SUMMARY:Lalla Essaydi
DESCRIPTION:Visual artist Lalla A. Essaydi grew up in Morocco and now lives between there and the United States. In her art\, she often combines Islamic calligraphy with representations of the female body to address the complex reality of Arab female identity from the unique perspective of personal experience. Much of her work returns to her Moroccan girlhood\, looking back on it as an adult woman caught somewhere between past and present\, and as an artist\, exploring the language in which to “speak” from this uncertain space. \nOften appropriating Orientalist imagery from the Western painting tradition\, she invites viewers to reconsider colonialist mythologies. Working in numerous media—including painting\, video\, film\, installation\, and analog photography—she explains that\, “In my art\, I wish to present myself through multiple lenses—as artist\, as Moroccan\, as traditionalist\, as Liberal\, as Muslim. In short\, I invite viewers to resist stereotypes.” \nEssaydi received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts/TUFTS University in May 2003. Her work is represented in the collections of such museums as the The Louvre\, Paris; the British National Museum\, London; and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her visit to UNC Greensboro is organized by the School of Art’s Falk Visiting Artist Program and the Weatherspoon Art Museum.\n\n \nLalla A. Essaydi\nApril 4\, 2024 at 4:30pm\nMargaret and Bill Benjamin Auditorium\nWeatherspoon Art Museum \nNo ticket required (Free)\nReception immediately following event. \n \n\nIn addition to public presentations\, every artist in the UCLS series does important work with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage.

SUMMARY:Indigo Girls with the Greensboro Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Twenty years after they began releasing records as the Indigo Girls\, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have politely declined the opportunity to slow down with age. With a legacy of releases and countless U.S. and international tours behind them\, the Indigo Girls have forged their own way in the music business. Selling over 14 million records\, they are still going strong. Amy & Emily are the only duo with top 40 titles on the Billboard 200 in the ’80s\, ’90s\, ’00s and ’10s. \n\n\n\nIn 2012\, Saliers and her Indigo Girls partner\, Amy Ray\, embarked on a bold new chapter\, collaborating with a pair of orchestrators to prepare larger-than-life arrangements of their songs to perform with symphonies around the country. The duo found an elusive sonic sweet spot with the project\, creating a seamless blend of folk\, rock\, pop\, and classical that elevated their songs to new heights without scarifying any of the emotional intimacy and honesty that have defined their music for decades. Now\, after more than 50 performances with symphonies across America\, the experience has finally been captured in all its grandeur on the band’s stunning new album\, Indigo Girls Live With The University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nOrchestra/Mezz\nBalconies\n\n\nUNCG Students\n$5\n$5\n\n\nNon-UNCG Students\n$10\n$10\n\n\nSingle\n$75\n$70\n\n\nSeniors/Military\nFaculty/Staff/Retirees\n$65\n$60\n\n\nPurchase Tickets\n* Tickets to CVPA and UCLS events are sold exclusively through our box office locations and ETix website\, and nowhere else. Tickets purchased through third-party vendors cannot be honored. \n\n\n\n \nThe power of unity\, both in music and in life\, has been an Indigo Girls calling card ever since they burst into the spotlight with their 1989 self-titled breakout album. Since then\, the band has racked up a slew of Gold and Platinum records\, taken home a coveted GRAMMY® Award\, and earned the respect of high profile peers and collaborated from Michael Stipe to Joan Baez. NPR’s Mountain Stage called the group “one of the finest folk duos of all time” while Rolling Stone said “they personify what happens when two distinct sensibilities\, voices\, and worldviews come together to create something transcendentally its own.” \nThe duo has balanced their long\, successful musical career by supporting numerous social causes–the Indigo Girls don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk. Both on and off the stage\, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have secured their spot as one of the most legendary musical acts of this generation. \n\nIn addition to public presentations\, every artist in the UCLS series does important work with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage. Thanks to The Cemala Foundation\, some of these artists also work with K-12 students in the Guilford County Schools.

Bell’s history with the Academy dates back to 1986 when he first recorded the Bruch and Mendelsohn concertos with Mariner and the orchestra. Bell has since directed the orchestra on several albums including Vivaldi’s Four Seasons\, Voice of the Violin\, For the Love of Brahms\, and most recently\, Bruch: Scottish Fantasy\, which was nominated for a 2019 GRAMMY® Award. \nBell has performed for three American presidents and the sitting justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. He participated in former president Barack Obama’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities’ first cultural mission to Cuba\, joining Cuban and American musicians on a 2017 Live from Lincoln Center Emmy nominated PBS special\, Joshua Bell: Seasons of Cuba\, celebrating renewed cultural diplomacy between Cuba and the United States. \nBorn in Bloomington\, Indiana\, Bell began the violin at age four\, and at age twelve\, began studies with his mentor\, Josef Gingold. At age 14\, Bell debuted with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra\, and made his Carnegie Hall debut at age 17 with the St. Louis Symphony. At age 18\, Bell signed with his first label\, London Decca\, and received the Avery Fisher Career Grant. In the years following\, Bell has been named 2010 “Instrumentalist of the Year” by Musical America\, a 2007 “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum\, nominated for six GRAMMY® awards\, and received the 2007 Avery Fisher Prize. He has also received the 2003 Indiana Governor’s Arts Award and a Distinguished Alumni Service Award in 1991 from the Jacobs School of Music. In 2000\, he was named an “Indiana Living Legend.” \n\n \nPianist Peter Dugan’s debut performances with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony were described by the Los Angeles Times as “stunning” and by the SF Chronicle as “fearlessly athletic.” He is heard every week across America as the host of National Public Radio’s beloved program From the Top. Mr. Dugan has appeared as a soloist\, recitalist\, and chamber musician across North America and abroad. In 2020\, he joined acclaimed violinist Joshua Bell for At Home With Music\, a national PBS broadcast and live album release on Sony Classical. This season Mr. Dugan continues his collaboration with Bell\, touring internationally with recitals at London’s Wigmore Hall\, Taipei’s National Theater and Concert Hall\, and the Kennedy Center in Washington\, DC. \nPrizing stylistic versatility as the hallmark of a 21st century musician\, Mr. Dugan is equally at home in classical\, jazz\, and pop idioms\, and has collaborated with artists ranging from Jesse Colin Young\, to Renee Fleming\, to Paquito D’Rivera. Mr. Dugan performs regularly in partnership with friends and artists who share a passion for expanding the world of classical music. The Wall Street Journal described Mr. Dugan’s collaboration with violinist and vocalist Charles Yang as a “classical-meets-rockstar duo.” In Mr. Dugan’s performances with his wife\, mezzo-soprano Kara Dugan\, repertoire ranges from art song\, to American Songbook\, to original songs and world premieres. The Dugans have appeared at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum\, WQXR’s Greene Space\, and on PBS Great Performances’ Now Hear This. \nMr. Dugan’s latest album with baritone John Brancy – The Journey Home: Live from the Kennedy Center – was released on Avie Records in 2021 along with an accompanying documentary film from WNET’s AllArts. Brancy and Dugan have given recitals at Alice Tully Hall\, Carnegie Hall\, and the Kennedy Center\, and together won first prize at the 2018 Montreal International Music Competition. Mr. Dugan’s latest project with violinist Sean Lee was PaganiniXSchumann\, a digital EP release that accompanied a live performance at Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center of all 24 Paganini Caprices with piano parts written by Robert Schumann. Mr. Dugan appeared as the piano soloist in Charles Ives’ 4th Symphony with the Houston Symphony\, the San Francisco Symphony\, and on an album with Michael Tilson Thomas and the SFS. \nMr. Dugan advocates for a classical music culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all\, from a community’s concert halls and theaters\, to its schools and hospitals. As a founding creator of Operation Superpower\, a superhero opera for children\, he has travelled to dozens of schools in the greater New York area\, performing for students and encouraging them to use their talents – their superpowers – for good. He is head of the Artist in Residence program at pianoSonoma and a founding faculty member of the Resonance and Soundboard Institutes at Honeywell Arts Academy. \nMr. Dugan holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from The Juilliard School\, where he studied under Matti Raekallio. He resides in New York City and is a Yamaha Artist. \n\nIn addition to public presentations\, every artist in the UCLS series does important work with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage. Thanks to The Cemala Foundation\, some of these artists also work with K-12 students in the Guilford County Schools.
