His success has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop music\, and his ongoing association with PBS has led to four #1 jazz albums\, as well as multiple Gold\, Platinum\, and Grammy Awards. Most recently\, his latest album\, Impressions\, won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental. Performing worldwide and selling more than four million albums\, he has found a form of creative expression that begins in jazz and expands beyond the limits of any single genre. \nOver the past three decades\, Botti has recorded and performed with the best in music\, including Sting\, Barbra Streisand\, Tony Bennett\, Lady Gaga\, Josh Groban\, Yo-Yo Ma\, Michael Bublé\, Paul Simon\, Joni Mitchell\, John Mayer\, Andrea Bocelli\, Joshua Bell\, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler\, and even Frank Sinatra. Hitting the road for as many as 300 days per year\, the trumpeter has also performed with many of the finest symphonies and at some of the world’s most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House and the Real Teatro di San Carlo in Italy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrchestra/Mezz\nBalconies\n\n\n(All) Students\n$7.50\n$7.50\n\n\nUNCG Faculty/Staff\n$25.00\n$25.00\n\n\nSingle\n$75.00 \n$70.00 \n\n\nSeniors/Military\n$65.00\n$60.00\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 \nImpressions\, Botti’s 2012 Columbia Records and Grammy winning release\, is the latest in a stellar parade of albums—including When I Fall In Love (2004)\, To Love Again: The Duets (2005)\, Italia (2007)\, and the CD/DVD Chris Botti in Boston (2009)—that has firmly established him as a clarion voice in the American contemporary music scene. Playing with his uniquely expressive sound and soaring musical imagination\, Botti is joined on the disc by featured artists Andrea Bocelli\, Vince Gill\, Herbie Hancock\, Mark Knopfler\, and David Foster in a warm\, intimate celebration of melodic balladry. With Impressions and the albums that preceded it\, Chris Botti has thoroughly established himself as one of the important\, innovative figures of the contemporary music world. \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.

Seven people trapped in an isolated farmhouse\, held hostage by the ravenous ghouls\, begin to turn on each other as the dead encroach. A gripping terror-filled monochromatic play that brings all the fright of the cult classic to life. This blend of thrilling horror laced with touches of black humor envelops the audience in the action and unfolds into a shocking theatrical ending. “There are a lot of characterization possibilities in this piece. We got to work on the dynamics of fear\, terror and the human responses they elicit. The zombies loved playing out evil.” (Krista Klander-man\, Menasha High School\, Menasha\, WI.) –Dramatic Publishing \n“Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock\, Illinois” URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/night-of-the-living-dead/ LOCATION:Pam and David Sprinkle Theatre\, 402 Tate Street\, Greensboro\, NC\, 27403\, United States CATEGORIES:College of Visual and Performing Arts,School of Theatre END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231020T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231020T210000 DTSTAMP:20260406T120450 CREATED:20240130T164643Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T164643Z UID:10000824-1697830200-1697835600@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:US Air Force Heritage of America Brass • Guest Artist Recital DESCRIPTION:DOWNLOAD PROGRAM\n  \n \n\nThe importance of philanthropy has never been greater.
