INTRODUCING THE HARRIS CENTER’S SPRING LINEUP OF PERFORMING ARTS! Dear Arts Lover, From the outset, the mission of the Harris Center for the Arts has been to enrich the lives of people throughout the capital region by providing venues and opportunities to experience artistic work, celebrate cultural traditions and participate in the creative process. Since opening in 2011, we’ve had well over half a million visits to the Center and the response has been unanimous – the Center really is the place to experience great shows, up close!

And the good news today is that there’s still plenty more art and entertainment coming your way in the second half of this season. Presentations include the national tours of five Broadway shows, concerts by country music icons to international orchestras, and visits by a number of world-class dance companies. Local arts organizations are offering more than 50 performances to choose from, and Folsom Lake College theatre, dance, music and visual arts programs are showcasing fine work by students. For a complete listing of events, see the winter/spring calendar on page 31.

All told, it’s a diverse array of exciting fare, some from far away, some from nearby, all top flight. Literally something for everyone.

As always, thank you for being part of the Harris Center’s success, and for all of the support and enthusiasm you have shown. Looking forward to seeing you at the theater!

JEKYLL & HYDE

JANUARY The National Broadway Tour

#HarrisCenter

Glamorous, sexy and deliciously wicked, Jekyll & Hyde is the enthralling musical based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story about a brilliant but obsessive scientist whose alter ego wreaks havoc across Victorian London. An evocative tale of two men — one a doctor, passionate and romantic — the other, a terrifying madman; and two women — one, beautiful and trusting — the other, beautiful and trusting only herself. Both are in love with the same man and both are unaware of his dark secret.

Featuring a thrilling pop rock score including the unforgettable hit, “This Is The Moment” from multi Grammy®- and Tony®-nominated Frank Wildhorn & double Oscar®- and Grammy®-winning Leslie Bricusse, Jekyll & Hyde has mesmerized audiences the world over.

ST. PETERSBURG STATE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Established in 1967 as the “Orchestra of Ancient and Modern Music,” this renowned orchestra built a reputation for itself early on for performing music of every epoch, genre, and style, including many premieres of works by modern-day composers. It was given the rank of Leningrad State Orchestra in the 1980s and has since performed regularly at the Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace. Recently it was awarded the prestigious honorary Russian title of “Academic” to acknowledge its professionalism, quality, and work as an ambassador for Russian art abroad. For this concert, the orchestra will be joined by acclaimed pianist Andrei Gavrilov performing Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Concerto No. 3.” The program also includes Bernstein’s “Candide” Overture and Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherazade.”

BODYTRAFFIC “One of the most talked-about companies nationwide” (L.A. Times) and named as one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2013, BODYTRAFFIC has surged to the forefront of the concert dance world. It is internationally recognized for performing commissioned work by many of today’s top choreographers, and for an approach uniquely reflecting the diverse landscape of its Los Angeles home base — warm, innovative and sexy.

Straight from an engagement at the Joyce Theatre in New York, the company’s program will include the west coast premieres of Dust by Hofesh Shechter, the Israeliborn British based choreographer known for his blunt, earthy style; and of Once again Before You Go by Victor Quijada, the Montreal based choreographer whose work blends break dancing and ballet.

AN ACOUSTIC EVENING WITH SAMMY KERSHAW Since his debut on the music scene in the early 90s, Kershaw has remained one of the most consistent power hitters in country music — both with a chain of major hit records and sell-out touring schedules. Sammy Kershaw’s plan for country music is reclaiming its roots and recapturing the spirit that made it great. “Man, for someone like me who had George Jones’ music imprinted in my DNA before birth, the last few years have been rough as a fan of country music,” noted Kershaw candidly in a recent national interview. “Country music is not a formula… it’s a music with its own soul… and I’m all about saving that soul!”

Part metaphor and surprisingly literal, the title is reflective of a fresh and focused start for one of the most successful and acclaimed musical creators of his era. According to Tritt, “My music is geared toward the working man and I write from my personal experiences. If I haven’t lived it, I can’t write it.”

The National Tour of Broadway’s Hilarious New Musical Comedy

CASSANDRA WILSON: COMING FORTH BY DAYA CELEBRATION OF BILLIE HOLIDAY

Billie Holiday’s deeply soulful singing made new and lasting masterpieces of jazz standards. Similarly, Wilson’s explorations of blues, country, folk, roots music, and more have reshaped the way people think about jazz and jazz vocalists. For Wilson’s artistry, Down Beat magazine selected her as Jazz Vocalist of the Year for three consecutive years, and Time magazine recognized her as “America’s best singer” and “the true heir of Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan.”

Now, for the centennial of Billie Holiday’s birth, the Grammy® Award winning Wilson pays homage to Lady Day with a new tribute recording and special concert tour. Her ability to evoke “a dreamy, sensual, all-night vigil in which the listener has the sensation of eavesdropping on a heartbroken soliloquy” (Down Beat) makes her just the right fit for this special commemoration.

TRINITY IRISH DANCERS: THE DAWN

12 HARRIS CENTER PRESENTS

ED METZGER: EINSTEIN– THE PRACTICAL BOHEMIAN The genius of Albert Einstein is well known, but most people know little about the man behind the genius.

Ed Metzger’s portrayal is a stirring portrait of one of the greatest men of the 20th Century, who harbored dreams of being a solo violinist, and had to ask directions to his own home. From crazy white hair, thrift-style clothes and sneakers without socks, the unbridled curiosity of the world’s most beloved physicist comes to life, revealing a philosopher, comedian, and troubled father forced to flee Germany, struggling as a pacifist knowing that his scientific discoveries were used in the creation of the atomic bomb. “A tour de force” (L.A. Times).

It also offers something more profoundly significant — the transcendence of craft to a truly elevating art form, a dance legacy that is rooted in tradition yet forward looking and ever evolving. The result is a thoroughly fresh and engaging artistic vision that goes beyond the source without losing touch with its essence. For this appearance, Trinity performs The Dawn, combining classic and new work under the direction of Emmy® Award-winning choreographer Mark Howard.

FOLSOM LAKE COLLEGE PRODUCTION

FALCON’S EYE THEATRE The Falcon’s Eye is the production company of the Department of Theatre and Cinema at Folsom Lake College. Their mission is to provide audiences with insightful theatre that brings new perspectives to life through fascinating, thought-provoking storytelling that challenges expectations. Traveling through time and around the world to bring the community and students a diversity of styles and voices, its productions amaze and enrich audiences for a lifetime.

APRIL Cloud 9 by Caryl Churchill

Falcon’s Eye closes its eighth season with Caryl Churchill’s blistering sociosexual satire Cloud 9. In act one we are in 1880s British Africa, experiencing a spoof of the Victorian Empire and its rigid attitudes, especially towards sex.

NATALIE MACMASTER AND DONNELL LEAHY Visions from Cape Breton and Beyond As so many Harris Center patrons will tell you, there’s nothing like a Natalie MacMaster concert. “She’s a ball of fire, performing jigs and reels with unstoppable, foot-tapping energy and ballads with irresistible, keening passion” (Los Angeles Times). This time, though, it’s a family affair and summit of two of the greatest fiddlers in the world as she’s joined by her husband Donnell Leahy and their megatalented children. With a visually stunning background showcasing the beauty of the Canadian coastline, both concerts will highlight the unique talents, influences, and stories of the first family of traditional fiddling, through dancing, singing, and, of course, world-class music-making.

“To call Natalie MacMaster the most dynamic performer in Celtic music today is high praise, but it still doesn’t get at just how remarkable a concert artist this Cape Breton Island fiddler has become” (Boston Herald). Son of a fiddle-playing father and champion step dancing mother, Donnell Leahy is also widely acclaimed for his agility on the fiddle as well as his prominent role in the rise of the family band Leahy — a favorite on the festival circuit and winner of multiple Juno Awards (Canada’s version of the Grammy®).

With dancers “of the highest caliber” (Dance Europe), the company performs the work of its Artistic Director Andrea Miller, a 2014 Guggenheim fellow, whose “viscerally physical movement wrings every inch of life from her dancers-and you’ll be holding your breath, too” (New York Magazine). Vogue simply describes her work as a blend of “wild-child dynamism with quiet emotional resonance.” Don’t miss this chance to see one of New York’s most inventive contemporary dance companies.
