for the Performing Arts and other venues on Bard’s beautiful Hudson River campus.

Slavic history and culture infuse this year’s opera presentation of Dimitrij, by the Czech-born Antonín Dvorˇák. Taking up where Modest Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov leaves off, it focuses on the real-life events and power struggles of early 17th-century tsarist Russia. This four-act grand opera, directed by Anne Bogart ’74 and conducted by Leon Botstein, is a dramatically powerful and musically thrilling study of entangled personal and political histories.

SummerScape is made possible through the generous support of Jeanne Donovan Fisher, the Martin and Toni Sosnoff Foundation, the Board of The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, the Board of the Bard Music Festival, Fisher Center and Bard Music Festival members, as well as grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

New York City Ballet MOVES Dances at a Gathering by Robbins, and other works by Balanchine and Peck With all-live music Peter Martins, ballet master in chief No choreographer is more associated with Chopin than Jerome Robbins, who set several major works to his music. The centerpiece of this program is Dances at a Gathering, accompanied by 18 of Chopin’s mazurkas, waltzes, and études. The piece premiered in 1969 and became an instant classic, hailed for its invention, virtuosity, and constantly shifting emotions. This program traces the choreographic lineage of New York City Ballet, including George Balanchine’s Duo Concertant, set to Stravinsky, and In Creases, the first work created for the company by the prodigious new talent Justin Peck, with music by Philip Glass. The program is performed by MOVES, a select group of New York City Ballet principal dancers, soloists, corps de ballet members, and musicians.

theater

world premiere

The Wooster Group A PINK CHAIR (IN PLACE OF A FAKE ANTIQUE) Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte The Wooster Group is one of America’s most daring and imaginative theater companies. As the New York Times writes, “throughout its almost 40 unceasingly fertile years of existence, this genre-bending troupe has taken theatergoers through twisting labyrinths of productions, in which reality and its representations are splintered by technology and irony.” Now The Wooster Group engages the work of visionary artist and stage director Tadeusz Kantor, whose theater was born from the fractures of 20th-century Poland and spoke to the world about imagination and history. A Pink Chair is an homage to Kantor and his actors, and a self-reflective take on The Wooster Group’s own ecstasy, despair, nostalgia, and memory.

opera

Dimitrij

By Antonín Dvorˇák American Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Leon Botstein, music director Directed by Anne Bogart ’74 Acclaimed at its 1882 premiere for strong dramatic moments, original melodies, and masterful choral writing, Antonín Dvorˇák’s Dimitrij was widely regarded as one of the most significant works created for the Czech operatic stage. Based on events of 17th-century Russia, Dimitrij resumes where Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov leaves off—vividly depicting the uncertainty, tribal loyalties, and struggles for power in the wake of the revered tsar’s death.

Distinguished director Anne Bogart ’74 brings this grand opera to life in a thrilling new production with set design by David Zinn, costumes by Constance Hoffman, and rising young tenor Clay Hilley in the title role.

bard music festival

Chopin and His World By the end of the 19th century, Fryderyk Chopin’s compositions had come to represent music as an expressive medium. Already recognized in his lifetime as a unique phenomenon, Chopin became known as the supreme poet of the piano, the instrument for which he composed almost exclusively. To this day, listeners and performers find in his music an emotional depth and intensity that mirror our subjective response to the human experience. The richness of Chopin’s melodic invention and harmonic usage help explain his broad popularity and influence.

The 2017 Bard Music Festival explores Chopin’s complex and enigmatic sides. He rose to international fame as the voice of an oppressed Poland, a once-powerful nation that had been dismembered decades before his birth in 1810. A child prodigy who grew up in Warsaw, Chopin spent the second half of his life in Paris, where he was lionized as a pianist, composer, and teacher. He was not only a leading figure in the distinguished Polish émigré community of Paris but also interacted with the aristocracy and cultural luminaries such as Franz Liszt, Felix Mendelssohn, Heinrich Heine, Honoré de Balzac, and Eugène Delacroix. His personal life, notably his relationship with George Sand, became the stuff of gossip, intrigue, and legend.

Chopin left behind a powerful legacy that helped shape the future of music, which is explored in programs featuring Johannes Brahms, Serge Rachmaninoff, Claude Debussy, and Alexander Scriabin, among others. The music of Chopin’s Warsaw teachers and contemporaries—Józef Elsner, Wilhelm Würfel, and Maria Szymanowska—and predecessors such as Ferdinand Ries, Carl Maria von Weber, and Johann Nepomuk Hummel help put his career in context. Other programs feature the work of contemporaries including Robert Schumann, Ignaz Moscheles, Louis Spohr, Gioachino Rossini, and Ferdinand Hiller.

Chopin lived in the years between the Congress of Vienna of 1814–15 and the watershed revolutions of 1848. It was an era of Romanticism in literature and painting, and also of intense philosophical ferment and striking political and social change. Music was at the center of this cultural world, not only in concert halls and opera houses but also in the semipublic milieu of the salon. Through concerts, panels, and lectures, the festival addresses how attitudes to the composer have changed since his death in 1849, how we hear Chopin today, and, most important, why he still matters.

This season is made possible in part through the generous support of the Board of the Bard Music Festival and the Friends of the Bard Music Festival, as well as grants from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts. Additional underwriting has been provided

by Jeanne Donovan Fisher, James H. Ottaway Jr., Felicitas S. Thorne, Helen and Roger Alcaly, Bettina Baruch Foundation, and Michelle R. Clayman. Special support has also been provided by the Mrs. Mortimer Levitt Endowment Fund for the Performing Arts.

All programs and performers are subject to change.

film series

Chopin and the Image of Romanticism The 2017 SummerScape Film Series explores the cinematic legacies of Romantic icon Fryderyk Chopin. It addresses the mythology surrounding the composer’s biography by presenting both a celebrated American Technicolor drama and a Polish film directed by Aleksander Ford, who helped to rebuild the country’s postwar film industry as head of Film Polski. Two of Ford’s students, Andrzej Wajda and Roman Polanski, used Chopin’s music to highlight the ambiguities of nationhood and art during the Second World War. Similar concerns informed filmmakers Krzysztof Zanussi and Krzysztof Kie´slowski, who connected Chopin’s music to the crises of the 1970s. Chopin’s music was also a reference point for the chamber dramas of Ingmar Bergman.

Her first album, The Ghost Who Walks, recorded with Jack White, was praised as “a 20th-century-Americanalaced gothic song cycle, shot through with blues and folk references” (Interview). Her Spiegeltent debut coincides with the release of her anticipated follow-up album, Double Roses.

Mx. Justin Vivian Bond’s House of Whimsy Friday, August 4 and Saturday, August 5 Welcome back to the House of Whimsy—an alluring, edgy, and irreverent evening of divas and deviants from the downtown performance scene—selected and introduced by Mx. Justin Vivian Bond. Established Spiegeltent favorites mingle with talented newcomers in a program of variety acts that will ravish, provoke, and astound.

Joan Osborne: The Songs of Bob Dylan Friday, August 11 Joan Osborne has earned a reputation as one of the great voices of her generation—a commanding, passionate performer and an evocative songwriter. A multiplatinum recording artist and seven-time Grammy nominee, she has performed alongside Bob Dylan, Luciano Pavarotti, Stevie Wonder, and Emmylou Harris, among others. She makes her Spiegeltent debut with her acoustic trio, covering songs of the 2016 Nobel Prize winner in literature, Bob Dylan.

BACK TO (ab)NORMAL Rebecca Havemeyer, Dane Terry, and CHRISTEENE Saturday, August 12 A snapshot of the best of today’s queer performance, with soulful piano balladeer Dane Terry and actor Paul Soileau, who performs his alter egos Rebecca Havemeyer, “Austin’s finest bingo hostess,” and Christeene, feral princess of punk.

Christeene is a gender-blending, R-rated nightclub star, not for the faint of heart. Dane Terry, a “millennial Cole Porter,” wowed the Spiegeltent in last summer’s House of Whimsy.

Joan As Police Woman Friday, August 18 Indie rock darling Joan Wasser, a.k.a. Joan As Police Woman, has been arresting audiences since 2003 with her sultry, slow-burning sound. Her songs “remind us of a time when pop tunes wound up in jazz clubs without losing anything in translation” (Pitchfork). Having toured and recorded with Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, Antony and the Johnsons, and others, Wasser brings the best of her first five albums to this Spiegeltent debut.

Mx. Justin Vivian Bond Shows Up Saturday, August 19 A perfect finale for the Spiegeltent season, Mx. Bond bids adieu to summer with an evening of songs, stories, and surprises, selected from 25 years of legendary performances.

Jazz through the Looking Glass with Catskill Jazz Factory Thursdays at 8 pm Tickets start at $25

1920s: Birth of the Big Band Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks July 13 Hear the music of an era of bootlegged booze, the foxtrot, and Jazz Age decadence in an evening of vintage swing by Grammy Award–winning Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks.

1930s: The Magic of Mahalia The Brianna Thomas Quintet July 20 The “best young straight-ahead jazz singer of her generation” (Wall Street Journal) draws on two titans of gospel, Mahalia Jackson and Thomas Dorsey, in this modern take on the remarkable songs that reshaped America’s sacred music.

1940s: Yardbird to Freebird Walking Distance July 27 Sharing their passion for bebop and the music of master saxophonist Charlie “Yardbird” Parker, members of the vanguard jazz quartet Walking Distance present this Catskill Jazz Factory debut of their upcoming sophomore release, Freebird.

1950s: Hollywood and Vine: Jazz Goes West Aaron Johnson Ensemble, featuring Veronica Swift August 3 Experience a retrospective of 1950s West Coast jazz, where the frenetic sounds of bebop met the laid-back cool of sun and surf in the golden age of Hollywood.

1960s: Songs of Protest and Reconciliation Vuyo Sotashe Ensemble August 10 South African jazz vocalist Vuyo Sotashe performs the politically charged songs of artists who expressed the cultural revolution of 1960s America through pop, rock, soul, and jazz.
