SUMMARY:Chris Botti
DESCRIPTION:Since the release of his 2004 critically acclaimed CD\, When I Fall In Love\, Chris Botti has become the largest-selling American instrumental artist. 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.

SUMMARY:The Wind Music of Louis Ballard • Faculty/Student Side-by-Side
DESCRIPTION:DOWNLOAD PROGRAMPROGRAM NOTES\nJonathan Caldwell\, conductor \n\nBALLARD\nRitmo Indio: A Study in American Indian\n Rhythms\nSiouxiana\nDesert Trilogy \n  \n \n\nThe importance of philanthropy has never been greater. Please consider a gift to the School of Music to support our mission and ensure the future of music at UNCG. \n\n \n   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nLouis Ballard (1931–2007)\, in full Louis Wayne Ballard\, Quapaw name Honganózhe (“Grand Eagle”or “Stands With Eagles”)\, was an American composer and music educator best known for compositions that synthesize elements of Native American and Western classical music. \nBallard experienced—and indeed oscillated between—Native American and Western (or Euro-American) musical worlds from an early age. His Quapaw mother and Cherokee father divorced when he was a young boy\, after which Ballard lived alternately with his grandmother on Quapaw tribal territory in northeastern Oklahoma and with his mother and non-Native stepfather in southeastern Michigan. While staying with his grandmother\, he was an active member of the War Dance Society of the Quapaw and participated in powwows and other events in the Native American community. Meanwhile\, his grandmother obtained a piano for him by leasing mineral rights on her Oklahoma property\, and she supported his piano and voice lessons in the Western tradition. \nBallard continued to play the piano while a student in the high-school division of Bacone College in Muskogee\, Oklahoma. By his sophomore year he had mastered some challenging classical repertoire and had begun to perform in public. After graduating from high school in 1949\, he briefly attended the University of Oklahoma (1949–50) and Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (1950–51) before enrolling in the music program at the University of Tulsa. Ballard sang with the campus Radio Choir throughout his undergraduate studies at Tulsa\, and in 1954 he graduated with two bachelor’s degrees—one in music and the other\, more specifically\, in music education. He then worked as a music director at churches and schools in Tulsa\, Osage\, and Pawhuska\, Oklahoma. In 1959 Ballard returned to the University of Tulsa for graduate study in music composition and received a master’s degree in the discipline in 1962. Following his graduate work\, he studied privately with composers Darius Milhaud\, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco\, Carlos Surinach\, and Felix Labunski. \nWhen the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) opened in 1962\, Ballard joined the staff and directed the organization’s music and performing arts programs through the remainder of the decade. During his time at the IAIA\, he composed prolifically and debuted a number of works that were based on Native American themes. Notable among these were the ballets Koshare (c. 1965)\, which made use of a Hopi creation story\, and The Four Moons (1967)\, which was intended to revive the spirits of four tribes that had come back to Earth. \nFrom his position at the IAIA\, Ballard went on to become a curriculum specialist for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (1969–79). Compositions from this period include Ritmo Indio (1969)\, a woodwind quintet featuring a Native American flute; the highly regarded Desert Trilogy (1971)\, an octet for woodwinds\, strings\, and percussion; and Incident at Wounded Knee (1974)\, a four-movement work for chamber orchestra commemorating the 1890 massacre of the Oglala Sioux at Wounded Knee\, South Dakota\, and the symbolic occupation of the town by members of the American Indian Movement in 1973. Aside from his music compositions\, Ballard published American Indian Music for the Classroom (1973)\, a boxed set of instructional materials that included recordings of Native American music\, music scores\, and a teacher’s guide. \nBallard ultimately developed a national presence\, primarily through concert premieres across the United States. He also achieved international recognition\, most notably through performances of his work at the Beethovenhalle in Bonn\, West Germany (1989)\, and the Salzburg Mozarteum in Austria (2000). Ballard received numerous awards during the course of his career\, not only for his compositions but also for his accomplishments as an educator. In addition\, he was honoured for his contributions to the Native American community and to society as a whole; in 2002 he was awarded a Cherokee Medal of Honor for his service in that capacity.

Aqua Net\, Lycra\, lace\, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venues\, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness\, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri\, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ‘n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew\, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx\, Journey\, Bon Jovi\, Whitesnake and more hold the answer. – Concord Theatricals \n“As the show opens with blinding lights\, shredding guitars and hammer-handed drumming\, even nonbelievers may start inhaling the Aqua Net and embracing their inner rocker.” – Variety \n“A seriously silly\, absurdly enjoyable arena-rock musical… the performances blend sincere conviction and knowing parody. I never would have guessed that wine coolers could age this well!” – New York Times \nROCK OF AGES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
