SUMMARY:Opera Theatre presents Offenbach's "The Lantern Marriage" and Menotti's "The Old Maid and the Thief"
DESCRIPTION:Join the UNCG Opera Theatre for an evening of light-hearted romance and comedy\, as we present two short one acts: Offenbach’s The Lantern Marriage and Menotti’s The Old Maid and the Thief.  In Offenbach’s charming operetta\, our hero finds his treasure\, disappointing the hopes of the two widows who had their sights set on making him their new husband.  The Old Maid and the Thief narrative parallels The Lantern Marriage as two single women (Miss Todd and Miss Pinkerton) attempt to win the affections of Bob\, who ends up finding his love in their maid\, Laetitia. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets\n\n\n\nDownload Program

SUMMARY:University Chorale

The UNCG Choirs are comprised of four ensembles: University Chamber Singers\, University Chorale\, Coro di Belle Voci\, and Spartan Voices. These diverse offerings allow students the opportunity to experience a wide range of stylistic ideas through the exploration of music from various time periods and various cultures\, including major choral-orchestral works as well as smaller chamber pieces. The UNCG Choirs have performed at state\, regional\, national and international conferences. Dr. Carole Ott serves as Director of Choral Activities and conductor of Chamber Singers and Chorale. Prof. Lindsay Kesselman is conductor of Coro di Belle Voci.

In advance of that performance\, the Wind Ensemble will perform six concerts on a tour that will span the southern United States with stops in Charlotte\, Atlanta\, Tuscaloosa\, New Orleans\, Houston\, and Dallas. The program\, with compositions by UNCG alum Dai Wei (’15 MM) and Ida Gotkovsky\, the poetry of Kim Addonizio\, and the voices of Dai Wei and UNCG faculty member Lindsay Kesselman\, is an acknowledgement of UNCG’s legacy of women’s education and a celebration of women’s voices more broadly. \n\n\n\nIn 1892\, UNCG opened its doors as the State Normal and Industrial School with music courses as part of the original curriculum. For the first seventy-two years of its existence\, the university only served women before becoming co-educational in 1964—the year after the university was renamed as the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Today\, the university’s population stands at roughly 67% women. Tonight’s program serves as a reminder and reaffirmation of UNCG’s mission of educating women in North Carolina and beyond. \n\n\n\nThe program is also bound together through elements of cyclicity and repetition. In some musical cultures\, repetition is used to promote and create community—to instill a sense of collectivism; in others\, it may be used to express the infinite and indescribable qualities of reality. The ephemeral and fleeting nature of music necessitates cyclicity in order to promote understanding\, particularly in the long-form music found in the Western classical tradition. In music\, however\, repetition is never simply repetition—to promote understanding\, the repetition is changed\, or the listener is changed by experiencing the repetition. Just as poet Kim Addonizio describes the simple experience of watching the sky “darkening\, then brightening” over the course of a day\, sometimes we notice changes in the musical cycles before us and other times we notice changes within ourselves. In other words\, does the cycle change or do we? \n\n\n\nEach of the three pieces on the CBDNA program feature elements of cyclicity and symmetry. Dai Wei’s Samsaric Dance is inspired by the Tibetan Buddhism conception of existence. Over the course of the piece\, multiple musical elements emerge\, return\, interact with each other\, and continuously transform before the piece eventually rests on a C♯ that symbolizes the oneness and unity of all existence. In this sense\, cyclicity refers to the endless cycle of birth\, death\, and rebirth—like a wheel rolling forward and backwards towards a possible but never promised nirvana. \n\n\n\nChristopher Cerrone’s Darkening\, Then Brightening is built in an arch form but one shaped like a valley. The descent of the first three movements leads towards the return of the C♯ from Samsaric Dance now transformed into the sound of inevitable descent. While the listener and singer ascend towards the light in the final movements\, the promise of redemption lies just beyond their grasp as the piece suddenly stops. The valley was just too deep. \n\n\n\nWhile elements of formal cyclicity are clearly evident in both movements of Ida Gotkovsky’s Symphonie pour orchestre d’harmonie\, her intermingling of octatonic\, whole tone\, and quartal pitch material throughout the symphony is of particular interest. This kind of symmetrical pitch organization\, one also favored by her composition teacher Olivier Messiaen\, creates melodic and harmonic structures free of any sense of a fundamental pitch\, occurring in looping cycles without a clear beginning or end. While traditional tonal music relies on asymmetrical pitch structures to establish hierarchy\, Gotkovsky’s pitch organization lends her music an almost otherworldly quality while remaining relatively consonant even within a modernist framework. \n\n\n\nThe chord that ends the piece\, and thus the concert\, is a quartal harmony built on C-naturals in the soprano and bass voices. The chord’s brightness and power seem far removed from the C♯ featured so prominently in the previous two pieces. The cycle has ended lower in pitch but perhaps more hopeful in tone? Darkening\, then brightening… has the cycle changed\, or have we? \n\n\n\nA performance such as this is an incredible undertaking and requires a great deal of effort and resources.

Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington\, D.C. Twice\, the Wind Ensemble earned critical acclaim from The Washington Post following concerts in the nation’s capital. The Wind Ensemble has performed throughout the eastern United States in recent years including the first-ever performance\, in 1987\, by a North Carolina collegiate ensemble in Lincoln Center\, New York City. The Wind Ensemble performed that same year in West Virginia\, Virginia\, Pennsylvania\, and Washington\, D.C. The Wind Ensemble has recorded nineteen commercially-available albums which have received widespread praise.
