GREETINGS AND WELCOME TO THE 2015-16 MONTAGE PERFORMANCE SEASON!

Join us for an exciting season of performances, masterclasses, exhibits, speakers, and more! This year’s central theme anchors the dialogue around artists’ health and wellness. Our intention is to focus on artists as athletes and the many health and wellness issues faced by performing artists across disciplines. Although we may be familiar with some health problems faced by well-known artists, do we ever stop to consider the health of our high school marching band students who participate in our beloved Mardi Gras parades? Imagine carrying a 3- or 4-pound instrument while marching for hours! The Year of Artists’ Health and Wellness will strive to educate and deliver information on this topic and will culminate in a symposium featuring experts in the field of medical problems affecting performing artists.

We are honored to announce internationally acclaimed violinist Nadja SalernoSonnenberg as our official Resident Artist for the next two years! Nadja’s compelling performances, daring interpretations, and dedication to her craft as a chamber musician and recording artist are unparalleled. Equally impressive is her innovation in the orchestral arena as the music director and concertmaster of the New Century Chamber Orchestra, a 19-member San Francisco Bay Area ensemble that performs without a conductor. The design of the conductorless orchestra, according to the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, results in “an enhanced level of commitment on the part of musicians to concepts of remarkable precision, passion, and power,” which we hope to expose our students to under Nadja’s tutelage.

In addition to our performances, many transformations have been taking form in the College of Music and Fine Arts as we strive to offer enhanced programming to our students and the New Orleans community, from new spaces to new programs to new departments!

We are excited to invite you to the rededication and blessing of Loyola University New Orleans’ largest and most diverse academic facility, Monroe Hall, on Oct. 8 at 12:30 p.m. After many years, the entire College of Music and Fine Arts is on the main campus with Monroe Hall now housing the Visual Arts, Design, and Theatre Arts and Dance departments starting this fall semester! At the end of the spring semester, we separated the Department of Art and Design into two individualized departments, the Department of Art and the Department of Design. Each department now has new dedicated spaces featuring computer labs, classrooms, wardrobe facilities, and rehearsal and movement facilities.

Nunemaker Auditorium, which has hosted some of the most prestigious lecturers and performers to appear at Loyola, received an update with a sleek wood-paneled interior, new sound engineering, and 100 percent LED lights. We invite you to attend one of our many upcoming events and to experience this beautiful new performance space!

Several new degrees dot the Loyola landscape. In 2014, the Bachelor of Design (BD) was created. This fall, bachelor’s degrees in popular and commercial music, digital filmmaking, and musical theatre all came on-line. All of these exciting new offerings are put forth to capture the interest and imagination of our students. As the only comprehensive school of the arts of the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities, we are very proud to be the standard-bearer of outstanding music and fine arts programs.

Finally, if that is not enough, we have lagniappe! Throughout the semester, keep your eyes on our website as we continue to add a plethora of other events to our 201516 Montage Series, montage.loyno.edu, I hope to see all of you this season!

Sincerely,

Anthony DeCuir ’76, Ph.D. Dean, College of Music and Fine Arts

NADJA IS COMING! NADJA SALERNOSONNENBERG, RESIDENT ARTIST We are extremely proud to announce that internationally acclaimed soloist and chamber musician Nadja SalernoSonnenberg will be the Resident Artist in the College for the next two years. One of today’s leading violinists, she is renowned for her work on the concert stage; in the recording studio; and in the orchestral arena as the music director and concertmaster of the New Century Chamber Orchestra, a 19-member San Francisco Bay Area ensemble that performs conductor-less.

In January, we are thrilled to present a very special program dedicated to strings entitled “The Strings Live at Loyola,” a collaboration of Nadja, two-time Grammy award-winning violinist Mark O’Connor, and the Loyola Symphony Orchestra led

by Jean Montès. We invite you to discover the strings and engage with the many masterclasses and special performances Nadja will present throughout her stay at Loyola!

CELEBRATING 400 YEARS OF SHAKESPEARE In 2016, Montage will take part in a worldwide celebration of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. Events commemorating the Bard will begin with the Loyola Opera performance of Charles Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette. Later in the spring, we will bring together two of the College of Music and Fine Arts’ emeriti faculty, Theatre’s Don Brady and the School of Music’s David Morelock, for a joint production of The Play’s the Thing. This tribute to Shakespeare will feature the Loyola Opera singers and members of our Department of Theatre Arts and Dance in the annual scenes program with readings from several of Shakespeare’s famous plays, plus a wide variety of both operatic and Broadway staged adaptations of those works.

Continuing with the commemoration, the Department of Theatre Arts and Dance will perform Much Ado About Nothing, and the Loyola Biever Lecture Series will sponsor a guest lecture called “Shakespeare in the 21st Century: Anyone From Birth to Old Age Can Relate to Any Character in Shakespeare.” Join us for an inspiring series of events celebrating the arrival in New Orleans of Shakespeare’s acclaimed First Folio, the first traveling exhibition of William Shakespeare’s plays, collated and published!

2015-16 MONTAGE THEME: ARTISTS’ HEALTH AND WELLNESS Most people forget that musicians are just as much athletes as they are artists. At Loyola we are committed to addressing the health and wellness issues faced by performing artists across disciplines via several events we have planned this season. In October, we welcome certified Andover Educator Dr. Heather Buchanan to present a workshop on the importance of Body Mapping, a neuroanatomical education technique designed to teach musicians skills of self-evaluation and change for performing with sensory-motor integrity.

Our culminating event will be an Arts + Wellness Symposium. The symposium will take place in April 2016 and will be the first of its kind at the university. The symposium is a free event that is open to the public and designed to deliver vital research, strategies, and tools to promote health and wellness to aspiring and working artists of all disciplines. We plan to bring in health professionals and physiologists to speak on a variety of issues, from hearing loss to proper diet to injury management. The symposium will also identify health and wellness-related resources available in the Greater New Orleans area for the performing artists’ community.

The full agenda for the Arts + Wellness Symposium breakout session topics will be released over the course of the semester.

Orchestration by MICHAEL GIBSON and JONATHAN TUNICK Directed by C. Patrick Gendusa Music Directed by Ken Weber

SEPTEMBER 25 – OCTOBER 3 This enchanted revue features songs about people falling in – and out – of love. Enjoy these beloved songs that will make for a grand night of singing.

Innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair,” a swingin’ “Honeybun,” and a jazzy “Kansas City” leave no question about how terrifically up- to-date the remarkable songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein remain.

WADING HOME: AN OPERA OF NEW ORLEANS SEPTEMBER 12 & 13 In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina baritone Donnie Ray Albert and guest artists from Southern Methodist University will join the Loyola Chamber Singers; the Chalmette Schools’ CHS Voices; and mezzosoprano Givonna Joseph, founder of OperaCréole. Suggested donations will benefit the New Orleans-based Roots of Music and the Dallas-based Foote Scholarship Foundation.

PRISM CONCERT SEPTEMBER 26 One of the largest musical celebrations on campus, the annual Prism Concert presents a diverse sampling of sounds from our talented student ensembles. The Loyola University New Orleans’ School of Music invites you to a free evening of performances from our orchestra, chorale, chamber singers, opera theatre, wind ensemble, and jazz band.

AURORA NEALAND NOVEMBER 19

Voted as Downbeat Magazine’s top ten rising stars for soprano saxophone in 2010, Aurora Nealand has been at the forefront of the revival of New Orleans traditional jazz amongst the younger generation of the city’s musicians.

After playing and learning as a sideman in established New Orleans bands such as Panorama Jazz Band, VaVaVoom, and The New Orleans Moonshiners, Nealand formed her own traditional jazz band, The Royal Roses.

NEW BAND DIRECTOR DR. SERENA WEREN NOVEMBER 12 & 14 Loyola welcomes Dr. Serena Weren, who joins us as the newly appointed Director of Bands and Assistant Professor of Music.

NEW ORLEANS ALL-STAR JAM FEBRUARY 25 Jazz icons Wessell Anderson, Ashlin Parker, Delfeayo Marsalis, Tony Dagradi, Victor Atkins, Roland Guerin, and Shannon Powell come together for a monumental live jam session The New York jazz scene during 1940s and early 1950s was famous for its after-hours jam sessions. Places like Minton’s Playhouse became fertile meeting places and proving grounds for soloists trying to keep up with the house band and outdo each other in improvisation skill. Drawing upon the jam session tradition, you can expect fireworks and some exciting moments from all of these remarkable players!

JOHN SEEFELDT & DANIEL LIEVENS OPENING RECEPTION FEBRUARY 18

The paired talent of Art and Design will be on display for a dual-person exhibit by faculty members John Seefeldt, Assistant Professor of Interactive and New Media, and Daniel Lievens, Assistant Professor of Design. Seefeldt’s exhibit, Archived Perspective, archives individual experience through the use of interactive media. Lieven’s exhibit, New Type Work, is a show of new typographic and other design works.

BIEVER GUEST LECTURE SERIES: Concert featuring ECM Artist Dr. Thomas van der Geld, vibes, with Loyola’s Sanford Hinderlie, piano MARCH 12

The Biever Guest Lecture Series presents an evening of jazz with internationally known vibraphonist and composer Dr. Thomas van der Geld performing with Sanford Hinderlie, Professor of Music, on piano.

Well-known American vibraphonist, composer, professor, and founder of the jazz group Children At Play, Tom van der Geld is legendary for his solo work and group recordings for the German label ECM/ JAPO. Earning an international audience with his clear, intense, and warm style, he has performed at most major European jazz festivals.

LOYOLA JAZZ FESTIVAL with guest artist and clinician Bennie Maupin MARCH 4 & 5 Bring your student musicians to a great educational festival experience with masterclasses for all instruments, taught by guest artist Bennie Maupin and the Loyola Jazz Faculty. The festival is open to big bands or jazz combos from the elementary through college level. E-mail Gordon Towell at gltowell@loyno.edu for more information.

Bennie Maupin’s highly personal bass clarinet sound helped define such classic jazz recordings as Miles Davis’ Jack Johnson, Big Fun, and On the Corner, as well as recordings by Herbie Hancock’s Mwandishi band and the Headhunters. The multi-woodwind player has also recorded with Marion Brown, Chick Corea, Horace Silver, McCoy Tyner, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Jack DeJohnette, Andrew Hill, Eddie Henderson, and Woody Shaw, to name only a few.
