HOME FREE Nov. 6 — McGlohon Theater at Spirit Square The country a cappella band Home Free was crowned season four champion of NBC's "The Sing-Off" last December, and now Home Free continues to entertain audiences with its high-energy show peppered with quick-witted humor that meshes Nashville standards with pop hits dipped in country fl vor.

Buddy Guy

BUDDY GUY With Special Guest Quinn Sullivan Nov. 9 — Knight Theater at Levine Center for the Arts At age 77, Buddy Guy is undoubtedly a living legend.

Mason founded Traffic with S eve Winwood while both were still teenagers, and created music that would find i s way into the hearts of generations of music lovers. He went on to establish himself as a successful songwriter, guitarist and solo artist.

He's penned dozens of hits, and his legendary guitar work has been linked with numerous other members of rock ’n’ roll elite, including Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Rita Coolidge, Leon Russell, Ron Wood and Mama Cass Elliot.

Traffic Jam is one show you should not miss.

EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL Nov. 11 — Knight Theater at Levine Center for the Arts Evil Dead The Musical, the hilarious, record-breaking musical created by George Reinblatt, Frank Cipolla, Melissa Morris and Christopher Bond, tells the outrageous story of fi e college friends spending the weekend in an Evil Dead The Musical abandoned cabin in the woods after accidentally unleashing an evil force that turns them all into demons.

Between releasing four full-length, critically-acclaimed albums, constant touring, multiple stints in rehab, a new found sobriety, being born Steve Earle’s son, amicable and not-so-amicable breakups with record labels, and facing the trials and tribulations of everyday life, it’s safe to say JTE has quite the story to tell. His fift album (and fi st ever on Vagrant Records) serves as the perfect platform for such narrations.

The Newsies Phenomenon Comes to the Belk Stage in Charlotte

E

xtra! Extra! Read all about it! The Tony Award-winning Disney hit Newsies is coming to Charlotte Jan. 6-11 at Belk Theater as part of the PNC Broadway Lights. The New York City boys from 1899 have not only been delivering papers, but also justice on stage since the Broadway premiere of their smash-hit show in 2012, and now the musical takes to the road on its fi st national tour.

The tale of Newsies is based off of a very real story about the Newsboys Strike in 1899 in New York City. It left a legacy of what was to be the standard for treating young people in the workforce.

What is it about this story that keeps people so engaged? We saw it in fi st when Disney fictionali ed the event into the 1992 movie by the same name. The film inspi ed a following of devoted fans over the years, which prompted Disney in March of 2012 to produce the musical show people now know and love.

Some say the story garnered such a long-lasting cult following that a stage version was, in some ways, a given. Disney Theatrical Group President Thomas Schumacher says he knew there was something unique about the film ersion right off the bat.

“It has a very theatrical quality to it. There’s a sense that it’s actually

happening in front of you, and because of that, all across the country, summer camps, high schools, fraternity houses all began to do their own versions of Newsies.”

Winner of the 2012 Tony Awards for best score and best choreography, this show has been nothing short of a historically heart-pounding, breathtaking masterpiece that the New York Times called “a musical worth singing about!” Don’t miss it when it comes to Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in January!

Education and Early Engagement Are Essential to Opera Carolina's Mission

A

Students and staff will experience music by the “Composer of the Month.” They’ll learn fun facts about famous composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and others during morning announcements or a school TV show. Each month’s study will feature a live performance by young artists from local college and high school music programs.

Opera Xpress brings opera directly into schools across the Carolinas. For more than 40 years, the educational touring company of Opera Carolina has been performing 45-minute youth-friendly productions that bring to life creative sets, costumes and stories, and are accompanied by curriculumlinked educational materials.

This year’s Opera Xpress production, Hansel & Gretel, is a fun version of the classic tale that focuses on making good choices. The Opera Xpress tour will span 10 weeks and aims to impact 30,000 students in a dozen counties across the Carolinas.

Production and program sponsors including Bank of America, Levine Cancer Institute, The Hearst Corporation and The Hearst Foundations, make it possible for Opera Carolina to bring these and other youth-oriented programs to the community.

s Opera Carolina opens its 2014/15 season, the company is doing much more than casting, rehearsing and building sets. Educating people – especially children – about the joy of opera is as much a focus as what happens on stage.

“We have a commitment both to our audience and to the community at large,” said James Meena, general director and principal conductor of Opera Carolina. “We engage young people at a very early age with opportunities for children and families at our main stage productions and by taking our shows on the road.”

Student Night, one of Opera Carolina’s signature educational programs, takes place at Opera Carolina’s final d ess rehearsal for each main stage opera with tickets priced at just $5 for students and $10 for adults and available through CarolinaTix.org. Guests enjoy a meet-and-greet with members of the opera chorus, a Q&A with the principal artists, general admission seating and a pre-rehearsal preview.

Opera Carolina’s newest program, Minds on Music, will be rolled out in 15 schools in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

All main stage performances are at the Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center For tickets: Call 704.372.1000 or visit www.operacarolina.org.

Charlotte Symphony Orchestra

Guest Pianist to Perform 'Emperor' Concerto

T

his fall, the Charlotte Symphony welcomes gifted pianist Abdel Rahman El Bacha to perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, popularly known as “Emperor" on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. Also, a Thursday evening performance has been added on Oct. 30.

The last piano concerto from the composer, the “Emperor” concerto was written in Vienna between 1809 and 1811 and dedicated to Archduke Rudolf, Beethoven’s patron and student. The three-movement heroic piece premiered in Leipzig, Germany, in 1811 and remains one of the most frequently performed of Beethoven’s fi e piano concerti. In February 1812, three months following the premiere of the piece, the concerto was fi st performed in Vienna, played by one of Beethoven’s students, Carl Czerny.

Beirut-born pianist and composer El Bacha was born into a family of musicians.

By age 10, he performed his fi st concert with an orchestra. He soon earned a scholarship to the Paris Conservatoire and graduated by age 16. To date, he has played in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris, the Tokyo NHK and the English Chamber Orchestra, among others.

His interpretations of Beethoven’s complete sonatas and Chopin’s complete work for piano solo earned critical success, and in 2002, the Lebanese president awarded El Bacha with the gold medal of the Order of Merit, the country’s highest decoration in his native country.

This concert is part of the Classics Series and will include Wagner’s “Prelude

Abdel Rahman El Bacha

to Act III from Lohengrin” and “Ein Heldenleben” (“A Hero’s Life”) by Strauss.

The Classics Series is presented to the community by Wells Fargo Private Bank.

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA MEET THE ARTISTS Wynton Marsalis (music director, trumpet) is the managing and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Born in New Orleans in 1961, Marsalis began his classical training on trumpet at age 12 and soon began playing in local bands of diverse genres. He entered The Juilliard School at age 17 and joined Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.

Marsalis made his recording debut as a leader in 1982 and has since recorded more than 70 jazz and classical albums, which have garnered him nine Grammy Awards. In 1983, he became the first and only artist to win both classical and jazz Grammys in the same year; he repeated this feat in 1984.

Marsalis' rich body of compositions includes "Sweet Release," "Jazz: Six Syncopated Movements," "Jump Start and Jazz," "Citi Movement/Griot New York," "At the Octoroon Balls," "In This House, On This Morning," and "Big Train."

In 1997, Marsalis became the first jazz artist to be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in music for his oratorio "Blood on the Fields," which was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center. In 1999, he released eight new recordings in his unprecedented "Swinging into the 21st" series and premiered several new compositions, including the ballet "Them Twos," for a 1999 collaboration with the New York City Ballet.

That same year, he premiered the monumental work "All Rise," commissioned and performed by the New York Philharmonic along with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the Morgan State University Choir. Sony Classical released "All Rise" on CD in 2002.

Recorded on Sept. 14 and 15, 2001, in Los Angeles in the tense days following 9/11, "All Rise" features the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra along with the

Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Morgan State University Choir, the Paul Smith Singers and the Northridge Singers.

In 2004, he released "The Magic Hour," his first of six albums on Blue Note records. He followed up his Blue Note debut with "Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson," the companion soundtrack recording to Ken Burns' PBS documentary of the great African-American boxer; "Wynton Marsalis: Live at The House Of Tribes" (2005); "From the Plantation to the Penitentiary" (2007); "Two Men with the Blues," featuring Willie Nelson (2008); "He and She" (2009); "Two Men with the Blues" featuring Willie Nelson (2008); and "Here We Go Again" featuring Willie Nelson, Wynton Marsalis and Norah Jones (2011).

To mark the 200th anniversary of Harlem’s historical Abyssinian Baptist Church in 2008, Marsalis composed a full mass for choir and jazz orchestra.

The piece premiered at Jazz at Lincoln Center and followed with performances at the celebrated church.

Marsalis composed his second symphony, "Blues Symphony," which was premiered in 2009 by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2010. That same year, Marsalis premiered his third symphony, "Swing Symphony," cocommission by the New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic and The Barbican Centre.

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis performed the piece with the Berliner Philharmoniker in Berlin and with the New York Philharmonic in New York City in 2010 and with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in Los Angeles in 2011.

Marsalis is also an internationally

17D

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA respected teacher and spokesman for music education, and has received honorary doctorates from dozens of universities and colleges throughout the U.S. He conducts educational programs for students of all ages and hosts the popular "Jazz for Young People" concerts produced by Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Marsalis has also written and is the host of the video series “Marsalis on Music” and the radio series "Making the Music." He has also written six books: "Sweet Swing Blues on the Road," in collaboration with photographer Frank Stewart; "Jazz in the Bittersweet Blues of Life," with Carl Vigeland; "To a Young Musician: Letters from the Road," with Selwyn Seyfu Hinds; "Squeak, Rumble, Whomp! Whomp!

Whomp!" illustrated by Paul Rogers, published in 2012; and "Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life," with Geoffrey C. Ward, published by Random House in 2008.

In October 2005, Candlewick Press released Marsalis' "Jazz ABZ: An A to Z Collection of Jazz Portraits," 26 poems celebrating jazz greats, illustrated by poster artist Paul Rogers.

In 2001, Marsalis was appointed Messenger of Peace by Kofi Annan, former secretary-general of the United Nations; he has also been designated cultural ambassador to the United States of America by the U.S. State Department through their CultureConnect program.

In 2009, Marsalis was awarded France’s Legion of Honor, the highest honor bestowed by the French government.

A New Magical Story Design team transforms Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella

H

ow do you create a magical world for Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, which opens the new PNC Broadway Lights season next month?

William Ivey Long, who won the Tony Award for his costumes for the show, says you have to think of it as a period piece: “It’s a fairy tale. In fact, that’s the period: fairy tale.”

How the Magic is Made • William Ivey Long has designed 330 sumptuous period costumes for Cinderella, which is presented in Anna Louizos’ equally sumptuous forestinspired setting.

• Both designers say they had long discussions with director Mark Brokaw for this revisionist telling of the traditional story, which features Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic songs with a cheeky new script by playwright Douglas Carter Beane.

• Cinderella and her stepmother and stepsisters live in a cottage, both surrounded by and invaded by the forest.

“You can always sense nature around the house,” Louizos says. “Even the vines are crawling up and covering up some of the wallpaper.”

• William Ivey Long’s costumes – which reference medieval knights, the Flemish painter Breughel, and the French court of Catherine de Medici – are also inspired by nature. “The whole world of Cinderella takes place in the forest,” he says, showing costume sketches.

“And when you start with the forest, that means everything’s growing, and flo a and fauna, and so, by extension, butterfli s and moths.”

• Of course, butterfli s and moths transform from caterpillars, and

transformation is a big theme in Cinderella. Long has designed jawdropping costume changes in both acts, where Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother go from rags to ballgowns in the blink of an eye, right in front of the audience.

Anna Louizos thinks this version of Cinderella is a fairy tale that will appeal to everyone: “We approached it as any other brand new musical. It’s not a children’s show; it’s a Broadway show that adults should be able to appreciate and enjoy and be entertained just as much as children would.”

Memories of Cinderella is a person’s true self that shines through, and that you can be whatever you dream.”

“I remember seeing the movie version of Cinderella as a very little girl and I loved every second of it. I'm really excited to see this new production because I’m certain it will combine the two things I love about the story, the dancing and the songs, in the very best way. Here's to hoping I can crush on this prince, too.”

– Vera Helton, theater fan

“As a kid, I used to watch Cinderella every single time I was sick and lying on the couch. I just couldn’t get enough of the story, the music and all of the magic! I can’t wait to see a new version of the story come to life on stage.”

– WBTV News anchor Kristen Miranda

“The beauty of Cinderella centered around her gracious, lovely and even sophisticated personality is what drew me to this character as a child. It was this beauty that showed through regardless of her clothes, bedroom, and the station she held in life. She was a magnetic personality that made all else irrelevant. It served to all – women and men, girls and boys – that it

– Phoebe Costa, Blumenthal staff member
