It’s a Sunny day!
Irish Chamber OrchestraOn Nov. 6, the “razor-sharp, fully-seasoned” Irish Chamber Orchestra (Chicago Tribune) returns to Boulder by popular demand, conducted by Gábor Takács-Nagy and featuring internationally renowned cellist István Várdai.
“I’m very happy that, after 23 years, I’m returning to Boulder where I lived for six years between 1986 and 1992,” says Hungarian-born violinist and conductor Takács-Nagy, a founding member in 1975 of the Takács Quartet—in-residence at the CU Boulder College of Music—and now Principal Artistic Partner of the Irish Chamber Orchestra since January 2013. (Of the original Takács Quartet, violinist Károly Schranz and cellist András Fejér remain.)
“I can hardly wait to be on stage in Boulder, and to meet with colleagues and friends,” continues Takács-Nagy. “I’m also very proud to perform with the ICO’s world-class musicians and the gifted Hungarian cellist, Várdai.”
Várdai, 30, has received prizes and awards at numerous international music competitions. He won the David Popper International Music Competition in Budapest three times, and was awarded top prizes at the Grand Prix Emanuel Feuerman in Berlin and the International Johannes Brahms Competition in Pörtschach, Austria. “His playing was commendable for its fluidity and virtuosity, distinguished by both a fleet-fingered lightness and a rich timbre,” wrote culture writer Vivien Schweitzer in The New York Times of Várdai's musicianship.
According to Takács-Nagy, “We’ll be performing a very exciting, energetic and colorful program in Boulder,” including Bach’s Cello Concerto in A Major, Wq. 172, and Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major—as well as Haydn’s Symphony No. 49 in F minor (“La passione”) and Bartók’s Divertimento for String Orchestra.
“Hungarians are not only proud of Bartók, but also Haydn,” says Takács-Nagy. “They consider Haydn to be a little bit Hungarian, too! For much of his career, he was musician and composer for the Hungarian noble family, the Esterházys.”
This tour is sponsored by Culture Ireland.

Dialogues of the Carmelites, Sung in Englishby Francis PoulencMarch 11-13, 2016Francis Poulenc’s dark, intense 1957 opera—based on the persecution of nuns at the convent at Campiegne during the French Revolution—fearlessly grapples with such timeless human emotions as fear, despair and faith. “As rich as a vintage port, the opera delivers a soft and melodic score that undulates with (dark) and complex themes … as tragically current as (they are) old.” (Metro Weekly)
The Tender Land, Sung in Englishby Aaron CoplandApril 21-24, 2016Copland was inspired to write his only full-length opera by the Depression-era photographs of Walker Evans and James Agee’s "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men." This classic tale of small-town America evokes everything from "The Grapes of Wrath" to "Our Town" and "Oklahoma!" “Copland in his Americana mode.…(A)n affecting, honest and musically elegant work…bustling rhythmic intensity and pungent chromatic bite.” (The New York Times)
Fiddler on the Roof, Nov. 6-15, 2015Music by Jerry Bock, Book by Joseph Stein, Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. Directed and choreographed by Gary John La Rosa, Roe Green Visiting Theatre ArtistDrawing on the richly humorous and humane tales of Sholem Aleichem, this musical tells the story of a poor, Jewish dairyman, his wife and their five daughters in a Russian village at the turn of the century.
The Current, April 15-17, 2016“The Current” showcases the varied works of CU dance faculty and guest artists, including Faye Driscoll, a Bessie Award-winning choreographer and director who investigates new forms of theatrical experience.

Holiday Festival“The CU-Boulder Holiday Festival is a beloved annual tradition,” says Gregory Gentry, Director of Choral Studies. “Once again, we’ll present the outstanding vocal and instrumental students and faculty of the College of Music.”
As artistic director of the event featuring seasonal music and festive holiday decorations at Macky Auditorium, Gentry says this year’s celebration will include familiar music, including holiday favorites by John Williams (“Home Alone”) and Christophe Beck (“Frozen”).
“The audience will be invited to join the performers in singing carols, as well as the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ from Handel’s ‘Messiah,’” he continues. “Everyone will delight in the music provided by the Holiday Festival Brass & Percussion, the CU Symphony Orchestra and combined choirs, the Holiday Festival Jazz Combo and the CU Women’s Chorus.
“And for the children in our audience, we’ll welcome a very special guest.”
Inspiring sold-out audiences year after year, this lively program of holiday favorites is sure to spark the joy and warmth of the season. Join us!
The Holiday Festival runs Dec. 4-6. Tickets are $15 and up. Holiday Festival revenues benefit the CU Music Scholarship Fund; no discounts are available for these performances.

If you can dream it–We can make it!
The Soweto Gospel Choir is generously co-sponsored by:
On Dec. 11, South Africa’s 24-voice Soweto Gospel Choir—“Nothing less than an international treasure” (JazzTimes)—will light up Macky Auditorium with a colorful, spirited performance of classic Christmas carols, moving African gospel and dance.
The tradition of Christmas was introduced to South Africa by missionaries around 1650, and remains an important holiday celebration among South Africans today. Indeed, Christianity is now entrenched in South African life with approximately 80 percent of the population following some variant of the religion—it’s a key aspect of family and community life, as is music, singing and dancing.
Since 2002, the Soweto Gospel Choir has demonstrated how all aspects of life can be expressed through song and dance. That year, their first album—“Voices of Heaven”—reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s World Music Chart. Numerous other international awards and honors quickly followed—including performances for birthday celebrations of their patron, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. They’ve also appeared on the “Today Show,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Late
Night with Conan O’Brien”—and the gospel group’s second album, “Blessed,” garnered their first Grammy Award in 2007.
Beyond their distinctive music making, the Soweto Gospel Choir founded its own AIDS orphans foundation, Nkosi’s Haven Vukani (which means “Outreach”), to assist organizations that receive little or no funding. The choir also performs for a variety of charitable causes.
In a mix of traditional and contemporary music and dance, the Soweto Gospel Choir will present in Boulder astunning affirmation of how South Africans celebrate, grieve, worship and tell stories. Song titles include “Hayo mathata,” “Ziyamaz’ umelusi,” “Calvary,” “Many Rivers” “Meadowlands” and “I Feel Good,” among several more songs and chants.
The program concludes with a handful of favorite Christmas carols—from “Oh! Holy Night” and “The LittleDrummer Boy” to “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”—in the group’s unique rendering of music and rhythms.
Join us for a pre-concert lecture with Assistant Professorof Ethnomusicology Austin Okigbo. The lecture begins at 6:45 p.m. in Room 102 at Macky Auditorium; seating is limited, so please arrive early.

Tonight’s lesser-known selections are described and translated by the Soweto Gospel Choir as follows:
Hayo mathataThanking God that He is part of our lives, and that we don’t have to worry because He has blessed us.
Ziyamaz’ umelusi Strengthening the faith of believers, this song reveals that the “flock” knows its shepherd, and will not be misled or go astray.
Kae le KaeA hymn from a hymn book used by churches in South Africa, the theme of this song is total devotion to Christ by believing and following Him wherever He leads.
NgahluleleThis song relays the message, “Lord you are my Saviour. Thanks to God for giving us life.”
Emlanjeni/YeleleTranslated as “By the River,” this medley on a traditional Tswana song celebrates young women’s joy of youth. The dances represent animal movements and behaviors, as well as gestures related to the Khoi and San people with whom the Tswana people intermingled.
Asimbonanga/BikoThis song speaks to Nelson Mandela’s 27-year jail term when no one had information about what was happening to him. Because there was no access to him, people asked their questions in song.
CalvaryThis song derives its name from the biblical calvary, and is commonly sung at Good Friday services to remind congregants of the suffering and crucifixion of this day in history.
Avulekile/One LoveTranslated as “The Gates Are Agape,” this song references the gates of heaven opening to one whose faith is strong, and who fears nothing … not even death. Adopted by the South African soccer fraternity, this song also indicates that the opposition is exposed, freeing the way to score goals.
Many Rivers/Swing LowJimmy Cliff’s 1970s hit, “Swing Low,” represents support for the anti-Apartheid movement through music and song.
MeadowlandsThis song celebrates a movement in Sophiatown where white people began to mingle with the black population through music.
Put Your Hand in the Hand/Joy, Peace and Happiness/Oh, What a Mighty LordA medley of spiritual hymns.
Nomalanga“Nomalanga” is the name of a young maiden. In this traditional love song, the singer expresses his love and yearning for her.
Sabashiy’ AbazaliThis song brings to light the hardships of leaving one’s home and loved ones to look for jobs beyond South Africa.
Lizalis’ idinga lakho/Thina sizweTranslated as “Let Your Will Be Done.”
ShosholozaLoosely translated as “Push Onward,” this song originated in South Africa’s mining community. Immigrant miners from bordering countries were transported to and from the mines aboard steam engine trains, often traveling for days around Rhodesia and Mozambique before reaching their homes and families. The miners sang this song to urge the trains to move faster, and has since been adopted by South Africans to encourage their sports teams toward victory.
KhumbayaThis song is a prayer.
I Feel GoodBorrowed from the distinctive James Brown, this song represents how good we feel as women when our audiences respond to our music-making!
MamathembiThis wedding song is sung in black townships, especially Sophiatown during the Miriam Makeba era. The song depicts pre-wedding preparations, and the joy of their completion.
Medley of CarolsFrom “Oh! Holy Night” and “Little Drummer Boy” to “Mary’s Boy Child,” “Silent Night” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” this medley celebrates and rejoices the spirit of giving.

South Africa’s 24-voice Soweto Gospel Choir—“Nothing less than an international treasure” (JazzTimes)—is led by choir directors Beverly Bryer and Jimmy Mulovhedzi. The choir was formed in November 2002; one month later, their first album—“Voices of Heaven”—was recorded, reaching the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s World Music Chart within three weeks of its release in the United States. In 2003, the choir won its first award—the Helpmann Award, Australia’s prestigious performing arts award—for “Best Contemporary Music Concert,” as well as American Gospel Music Awards for “Best Choir” and “Best International Choir.” Since then, the choir garnered a Grammy Award for its second album, “Blessed,” in the category “Best Traditional World Music.”
The Soweto Gospel Choir has performed for Nelson Mandela and former President Bill Clinton, and as the invited guests for their patron, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, at his 75th birthday celebrations. The choir was also featured with Diana Ross, Deborah Cox and Danny K at the “Unite of the Stars” Gala Banquet in South Africa, and they’ve appeared on NBC’s “Today Show,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show.” Additionally, the Soweto Gospel Choir has performed for Oprah Winfrey and her illustrious guests, including Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Tina Turner, Patti Labelle, Sidney Poitier and Quincy Jones.
Beyond their distinctive music making, the Soweto Gospel Choir founded its own AIDS orphans foundation, Nkosi’s Haven Vukani (which means “Outreach”), to assist organizations that receive little or no funding. The choir also performs for a variety of charitable causes.

MAKE ANYTHING POSSIBLE.
YMCA OF BOULDER VALLEY • ymcabv.orgServing Boulder, Broomfield & Weld Counties
When we are guided, supported and encouraged by others, it’s a powerful experience. It builds our confidence, brightens our outlooks and frees us to imagine all that’s possible. However, when resources are stretched and families struggle to make ends meet, it is difficult just to keep kids safe and cared for, let alone to give them opportunities to play sports, learn new things and explore new worlds.
The YMCA provides both: a safe, nurturing environment as well as the guidance and encouragement to discover all we can achieve. When we have the YMCA, anything is possible.
For a better future. For a better us.TM

Friends of the Eklund OperaThe Eklund Opera Program is recognized nationwide as one of the finest programs of its kind in the country. Its success is a reflection of outstanding faculty, exceptionally gifted students, professional production standards, and, ultimately, the successful placement of students after graduation in the professional world. You are invited to be a part of the tradition of excellence that has come to characterize Eklund Opera. Your support is pivotal to maintaining the stature of this seminal program. To explore the role you can take in supporting Eklund Opera, please contact our Development Office at 303-735-6070.
About the Eklund Opera ProgramRecognizing the importance of the arts and live vocal performance in an increasingly distracted world, long-time Boulder resident Paul Eklund made a generous gift in October 2014 to help establish a $2 million endowment at the CU-Boulder College of Music. Funding from the endowment helps support three opera productions each academic year, the CU New Opera Workshop and an opera-scenes program for new students.
