irst, I thank each of you who have so generously supported UApresents in past seasons. I hope you realize the value of your fi nancial contribution. Your support makes it possible for us to deliver programs that you can be proud to have as a part of our community fabric.

Second, for those of you who are considering contributing to UApresents for the fi rst time this year, thank you. Your philanthropy is crucial as UApresents absorbs a sharp reduction in state funding for the coming season.

The superior quality of the artists and performances that comprise the UApresents season stands solidly among the fi nest arts presenters in the nation. This season we continue the tradition of excellence in our core genres — classical, dance, jazz and blues and world music — and for the fi rst time we offer summer performances. ‘Summer Fun’ features the ultimate party band, the B-52s and country legend Randy Travis. The season offi cially opens with ‘The Ultimate Doo-Wop Show’ featuring eight classic artists headlined by Charlie Thomas and The Drifters. We are also proud to host two performances that pair celebrated performers — jazz icons Dave Brubeck with Ramsey Lewis and Broadway legends Barbara Cook with Christine Ebersole. The season continues with top names in every genre including Mannheim Steamroller, B.B. King, Olga Kern, Mark Morris Dance Group, The Chieftains, Michael Feinstein and Lily Tomlin.

This year we will offer all subscribers who are also donors priority in ordering their most desirable seat locations with their subscription orders.

Thank you.

he rich and diverse programming of UApresents rivals that of the fi nest performing arts centers in the United States. The world-class artists and performances UApresents brings to The University of Arizona campus, along with special events like “The Laramie Project” and educational outreach programs, enhance our quality of life and bring Southern Arizona and the UA community together. UApresents reaches out to all through special discounts for seniors, the military, school children and UA students, faculty and staff.

As this exciting new season begins, UApresents is deeply affected by state budget cuts to education. The exceptional team at UApresents is working hard to ensure that this important program continues to thrive. We are particularly grateful to the many individuals and businesses that generously support UApresents with sponsorships and donations and we sincerely thank them. UApresents truly must be a partnership between the campus and the community and more than ever before, the community’s fi nancial support is crucial to enable all of us in Southern Arizona to continue to experience the exhilaration and joy of this outstanding program.

Newsweek raves, “Like a sonic shot of vitamin B-12, the dance fl oor beats, fuzzy guitar riffs and happy, shiny lyrics keep the energy going.” Experience the upbeat sound and trademark sense of humor that sold more than 20 million albums and have made the B-52s one of the world’s best-loved party bands for a quarter century. Featuring songs from Funplex, their fi rst new release in 16 years, the group, known for their retro hairdos, also will perform their dance-rock favorites including “Love Shack,” “Rock Lobster” and “Private Idaho.” “Can you imagine any band on the planet being more fun to hang out with than the B-52s?” – People Magazine

His father raised turkeys and ran a construction business, and his mother worked in a textile plant. He grew up as one of six children in a house fi lled with the sounds of Hank Williams and Stonewall Jackson albums. By the age of ten, Randy and his brother, Ricky, were performing as a duo throughout the South. Even at that age, his voice startled people with its resonance. Turned down by nearly every record label in Nashville, Randy fi nally signed with Warner Brothers Records in 1985. Now, with record sales over 25 million, 22 number one hits, six Grammys, six Country Music Awards, nine Academy of Country Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and membership in The Grand Ole Opry, Randy has established himself as a performer in the grand tradition of George Jones, Merle Haggard and only a handful of others. Randy will perform songs from his 2009 CD, I Told You So: The Ultimate Hits of Randy Travis, a 32-song collection including “Turn It Around” and “Forever and Ever Amen.” Country Weekly says, “It’s obvious that one of country’s fi nest vocalists is still operating at the peak of his powers after more than two decades.”

Take a trip back to the cool days – a time of black slacks, blue suede shoes and poodle skirts. The harmony style known as “doo-wop” emerged from the streets of big cities like New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Baltimore and spread across the nation on radio waves and turntables. Every generation since has rediscovered the magic of doo-wop. Join us for an evening with the hit-makers as we launch the new season.

Back in the ‘70s, Chip Davis was a classically trained musician working in the advertising world. In his spare time, he was busy inventing a new style of music. When approached, the big record labels were intrigued but confused by this new style – it wasn’t exactly jazz, it wasn’t really rock, and it wasn’t precisely classical. So, in 1975, Chip founded his own record company and, in order to increase exposure to his music, he started touring the world with a new band he called Mannheim Steamroller. Today, Mannheim Steamroller is a group of the most talented and versatile musicians still touring the world. The band is a consortium of musicians, technicians and engineers using state-of-the-art equipment to create Mannheim Steamroller’s signature sound. One of the top selling bands of all time, Mannheim Steamroller’s Christmas music has become synonymous with the season. As USA Today notes, “Some carols are meant to be Steamrolled.”

With a passion as vivid and confi dent as her musicianship, performing Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3, she won the 2001 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, the fi rst woman to win the prestigious honor in 30 years. It could be in her blood – she was born into a family of musicians with ties to both Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. The Washington Post writes, “Her electricity at the keyboard is palpable… it fl ows through her fi ngers and takes on fresh voltage.”

Founded in 1841 by citizens of Salzburg, together with Mozart’s widow, Constanze, they dominated 19th century Salzburg’s musical life and are today the city’s musical ambassadors to the world. Under the baton of Ivor Bolton, the 90-member orchestra continues to generate critical acclaim. Cellist and soloist Johannes Moser is praised for the delicacy of his ear and the virtuosity of his playing.

The USSR established the orchestra in 1978 to broadcast throughout the nation the symphonic repertoire of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Los Angeles Times hails it as “a crack ensemble that brings a rigorous approach to music-making.” The Asheville Citizen Times praises the players as “consummate technicians who make the most diffi cult pieces seem easy.” Maestro Alexei Kornienko will conduct this all-Tchaikovsky program featuring violin soloist Nadezda Tokareva. Daytona Beach News Journal says, “her expressive violin shifted effortlessly from the muscular to the ineffably tender.”

All the energy and charm of Italy’s “city of romance” spring to life in the completely new program from this youthful and exceptionally talented ensemble of master musicians. It’s no wonder that Interpreti Veneziani has sold out its last two engagements with UApresents. Their Venetian home is Antonio Vivaldi’s own – the historic, San Vidal Church – and their instruments are the same vintage as their Baroque repertoire. Expert in solo performance and ensemble collaboration, they represent Venice with verve, imagination and beauty.

For 25 years, these dancer-illusionists have conjured a world of surreal wonder and physical beauty with magical lighting, fanciful imagery and slapstick humor. Artistic Director Moses Pendleton, a co-founder of Pilobolus, combines athletic dance, riveting music, outrageous costumes and inventive props to create an entertaining multimedia experience. The Chicago Tribune calls them “inspired vaudevillians” and “crowd pleasers.” “ReMIX” is a collection of MOMIX’s greatest hits from their eclectic repertoire, including excerpts from their newest work, “Botanica.”

Set in swinging 1957, “A Cinderella Story” re-imagines the world’s favorite rags-to-riches tale as a fresh, hilarious and wildly inventive marriage of ballet and jazz. Dancers pirouette, bebop, soft-shoe and tango to a live jazz band interpreting Richard Rodgers’ original themes. Founded in 1939 by Gweneth Lloyd and Betty Farrally, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet holds the double distinction of being Canada’s premier ballet company and the longest continuously operating company in North America. In 1953, the Company received its royal title, the fi rst granted under the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

From its early years as, essentially, Mark Morris and a group of friends, to its contemporary status as a burgeoning dance institution, the Mark Morris Dance Group has stayed true to its founder’s convictions. Among the most emblematic of those commitments is to performing, unless impossible, with live music – and not just any live performers, the best. That is one reason why Mark Morris Dance Group performances are not just dance at the highest level, but simultaneously, concert-going at the highest level – a perfect blend of sound and movement, all happening in the moment. “The most successful and infl uential choreographer alive, and indisputably the most musical.” – The New York Times

The Boston Globe praises Osborne’s “honey-whiskey voice and bare-it-all style.” Billboard applauds “the inherent pathos of her voice.” Since her fi rst hit, “(What If God Were) One of Us,” in 1995, she has channeled classic soul singers into a unique style that’s won fi ve Grammy nominations. The Chicago Sun-Times calls The Holmes Brothers “The undisputed masters of blues-based American roots music.” Former professional prizefi ghter and son of a Pentecostal preacher from Tupelo, Mississippi, Paul Thorn performs songs from his new CD, A Long Way from Tupelo, with the searing yet incandescent voice of a Mississippi poet and prophet.

The most popular World War II-era band was led by American trombonist Glenn Miller, who disappeared over the English Channel while serving his country in 1944. His estate formed the present Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956 and today, it’s the most popular big band in the world. Trombonist Larry O’Brien leads the orchestra and its vocalists in a program of some of the greatest dance music of all time. Signature classics like “Moonlight Serenade,” “In the Mood,” and “Chattanooga Choo Choo” anchor a timeless repertoire.

Legendary B.B. King is without a doubt the single most important electric guitarist of the last half century and the reigning king of the blues. A singer capable of wringing every nuance from any lyric, he has released more than 50 albums, many of them classics. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and honored at the Kennedy Center, and he has earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of the Arts and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In his 2008 CD, One Kind Favor, he revisits the old blues songs that inspired his music. Rolling Stone calls it “One of the strongest studio sets of his career.”

Two legends in one remarkable evening of great jazz. Dave Brubeck has been wowing audiences ever since he led jazz into the “Swinging ‘60s” with hits like “Take Five” and “Blue Rondo à la Turk.” His distinctive harmonic approach and daring improvisations continue to awe critics and thrill fans. Pianist and composer Ramsey Lewis is an American jazz icon. Recipient of seven gold records and winner of three Grammy Awards, he has ranked among the world’s great jazz pianists for more than 40 years, regularly topping the charts with classics such as “The In Crowd.” In 2007, the National Endowment for the Arts awarded him the prestigious title of Jazz Master.

The Festival returns with an all-new line-up. Elegant playing, sensitive melodies and infectious rhythms inspired Jazz Weekly to call Kenny Barron “the most lyrical piano player of our time.” TIME writes that violinist Regina Carter “creates music that is wonderfully listenable, probingly intelligent and, at times, breathtakingly daring.” With a rich baritone voice that spans four octaves, Kurt Elling is the 2008 winner of JazzTimes Readers’ Poll for male vocalist of the year and is regarded as the preeminent young male jazz singer today. Versatile and commanding swing jazz guitarist Russell Malone rounds out an unforgettable evening of 21st century jazz.

Celebrate the high-voltage, Afro-Caribbean sounds that made Tito Puente “El Rey” – the undisputed King of Latin music. Hot horn arrangements soar over irresistible, hard-driving, Latin polyrhythms as Tito Puente, Jr. celebrates his father’s legacy of mambo, merengue, salsa and cha-cha-cha classics and introduces a few new favorites with a contemporary fl air. Tito Puente infl uenced generations of musicians with the conga- and timbale-driven tempos and spicy charm of his arrangements. His animated performance style lives on in his son’s infectious showmanship, as he and his orchestra transport the audience to a festive evening in the tropics.

Explosive Taiko drumming and innovative choreography combine to create a remarkable display of precision, energy and stamina. The Chicago Tribune raves, “Extraordinarily talented… incomparable muscular zeal.” The stars of TAO live and train at a compound in the mountains of Japan, reaching the highest level of virtuosity only after years of intensive study. The Sunday Times raved, “(they are) fi ercely fi t wadaiko drummers, sweating and grunting and generating enough power to spin a turbine…. The sound and the fury are electrifying.”

More than 20 years have passed since they earned international notoriety for their unforgettable contribution to Paul Simon’s Graceland, but music has always been only half the story for these 2009 Grammy Award-winners and perennial nominees. Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been just as much about physicality and their signature, tiptoe choreography as it has been about brilliant, a cappella vocal harmonies. Their songs merge the traditional music and dance of South African miners with the sounds and sentiments of gospel. The New York Times calls it “music so insidiously penetrating that you seem to absorb it with your whole being rather than just the ears.”

A leading connoisseur of the Great American Songbook, singer and pianist Michael Feinstein has blazed a brilliant career sleuthing out forgotten treasures by the likes of the Gershwins, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, then delivering them in dramatic, polished performances. His latest album, The Sinatra Project, is also a tribute to arrangers Nelson Riddle and Billy May. Recorded live in the same studio as Sinatra’s classic Capitol Records-era hits like “Come Fly with Me” and “Only the Lonely,” the album features new arrangements of classic songs plus two undiscovered tunes Sinatra never got around to recording. Celebrating his 25th anniversary as a performer, Feinstein brings this vibrant project to life with a blazing big band and his own inimitable panache.

Grammy-winning Kathy Mattea has a string of folk and country hits including “18 Wheels and A Dozen Roses” and “Where’ve You Been.” Her chart-topping 2008 CD, Coal, reveals her rich, compassionate alto at the height of her powers and with a new-found passion for storytelling. Raised near Charleston, West Virginia, she grew up immersed in the Appalachian culture. She turned to bluegrass and her own family’s history in the mines to give voice to the sometimes humorous, often perilous, culture of coal mining. All Music Guide calls it “a beautiful testament to a diffi cult way of life.”

Tony Award-winner Barbara Cook’s silvery soprano, pure tone and warm presence made her “Broadway’s favorite ingénue” during the heyday of the Broadway musical. She originated leading roles in Candide, The Music Man and She Loves Me and starred in Oklahoma!, Carousel, Showboat and The King and I. Financial Times called her “the greatest singer in the world.” Multiple Tony Award-winner Christine Ebersole won critical acclaim for her performances in 42nd Street, Oklahoma!, Dinner At Eight, The Best Man and Grey Gardens, which one New York Times critic called, “possibly the greatest performance I’ve ever seen in a musical.” She also appeared in the Academy Award-winning fi lms Tootsie and Amadeus.

Created by Olivier Award-winning choreographer Dein Perry, with a construction site set by designer/director Nigel Triffi tt and a driving score by composer Andrew Wilkie, Tap Dogs is rough, tough, rocking theatrical entertainment. Winner of 11 International Awards, Tap Dogs premiered at the Sydney Theatre Festival, moved on to London and New York, and has been a howling success the world over.

Narrated by Neal Conan, host of NPR’s Talk of the Nation, with projected images from the Hubble Space Telescope, this concert marries music to words. Inspired by pictures from the space telescope, the evocative music of the Celtic/Early Music Ensemble Galilei is a perfect backdrop for readings from a Navajo creation myth and the works of Stanley Kunitz, Jim Harrison and William Shakespeare. Audiences have been swept away by this extraordinary combination of lyrical poetry, images that transform our understanding of the universe and what critics have described as “music that speaks to the heart in ways that transcend mere language.”

For its fi rst 400 years, only kings and their courts were privileged to hear them. Franz Schubert was a member and both Joseph and Michael Haydn sang with them. The choir still performs Sunday mass at the Imperial Chapel but, since 1926, the privilege of listening to them has encompassed the globe. Four choirs tour regularly throughout Europe and are frequent guests in Asia, Australia and the Americas. Their repertoire spans their history, from medieval chansons and Renaissance music to masses and lieder by Schubert.

They are a family whose legacy is rooted in the sounds and stories of American folk music. Celebrating four generations of Woody Guthrie’s family, Arlo, his eldest son, takes to the stage with the next generation of family entertainers. The show mingles a selection of Arlo’s standards with newly discovered material from Woody’s archive and the voice of the “Dust Bowl Troubadour” himself, found on recently discovered recordings. The Guthries also pay tribute to the great legacy of The Carter Family, whose songs have inspired Woody and his family for decades. Vanity Fair writes “The Guthries are the fi rst family of American folk.”

Arnold Lobel’s much-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale’s musical, A Year With Frog and Toad. The musical remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad, through four fun-fi lled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.

The score bubbles with melody and wit, its jazzy, upbeat sound a perfect match for the hopping, crawling and fl ying denizens that inhabit Frog and Toad’s world. Tony-nominee for Best Musical, A Year With Frog and Toad is inventive, exuberant and totally enchanting.

This unique performance documents the return of director Moisés Kaufman and Tectonic Theater Project to Laramie, Wyoming on the 10th anniversary of the murder of19-year-old, gay college student, Matthew Shepard. This deeply moving theatrical experience explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. The original play, The Laramie Project, which TIME called “a pioneering work of theatrical reportage and a powerful stage event,” became an Emmy Award-winning TV drama. The Laramie Project: “10 Years Later… An Epilogue” investigates the long-term cultural impact of the Shepard murder and the collective memory of the community a decade after the event. Moisés Kaufman is presenting this new play in diverse communities across America on the evening of the 11th anniversary of the murder as a way to honor Matthew Shepard and to bring together communities to network, educate, debate and raise the collective consciousness in matters of civil rights, violence and bigotry. Contains mature themes.

In the fall, please check our website, uapresents.org, for additional

information.

THE LARAMIE PROJECT:“10 YEARS LATER… AN EPILOGUE”Monday, October 12, 2009Free and open to the public

UApresents is committed to education as a critical focus of its mission despite the challenges presented during this year of economic distress. While the School Matinee program is not possible this year in Centennial Hall, UApresents will ensure that no opportunity is missed to bring artists to K-12 students, both through performance and in the classroom. UApresents will also provide support through the generosity of its donors, to enable children and their families from underserved communities to attend UApresents events, often for their fi rst experience of live performing arts.

UApresents will continue to provide the opportunity for both K-12 and college-age students to experience master classes and workshops with professional artists from the touring companies whenever possible.

In addition, deeply discounted tickets for students of all ages throughout the season will be available so that the joy of live performance remains within reach for most. Please check our website, uapresents.org, for updates and details on educational programs as they become available.
