HARTFORD WISCONSIN

From the Executive Director Joe Konrad

E

ach year there is a national showcase offering theater directors the opportunity to preview the performers available for booking during the upcoming season. In the fall of 2015, I had the privilege of representing the Schauer Center at this showcase.

It was an incredible experience!

As part of the process I asked for suggestions from hundreds of Schauer Center patrons and community members. It was fun to hear everyone’s opinion and it gave me a wonderful opportunity to meet many of you.

Thank you for your input.

Now the choices are made with each performer having been chosen for very specific reasons. As a part of each Main Stage performance description in this brochure you will find a notation as to why they were chosen for this season. I hope this assists you with your ticket purchasing decisions and maybe leads you to choose something wonderful you may not have otherwise considered.

In the end, I hope you will agree:

“ It’s going to be a

a fun year

Most entertaining concert pianist I have ever seen. Marvel at her keyboard mastery, smile while listening. This is going to be fun!

LOBALLY RENOWNED concert pianist Alina Kiryayeva grew up a child prodigy, playing her first concert at the age of 8. When the Iron Curtain lifted in her native Ukraine, she discovered and fell in love with American cartoons. Do you remember Bugs Bunny doing the "Barber of Seville", Elmer Fudd doing Wagner's "the Ring" or Tom and Jerry doing Johann Strauss? You’ll be taken back to your favorite childhood memories as Alina captures the artistry and the raw energy of these works as few other concert pianists can. Internationally hailed for her unique interpretations and keyboard mastery, Kiryayeva will take your breath away with her captivating stage presence.

Whoever said classical music was stuffy?

ACK IN THE 1960s, Greenwich Village was the center of the Folk music universe. On any given night you could see performers like Bob Seeger, Peter, Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan and more.

This show takes you back to a simpler time when it was all about the lyrics and emotional delivery. Join us for “A Night in Greenwich Village,” featuring guitar virtuoso Dave Camac and acoustic songstress Laura Joy. Camac, who has been described as a “soulful Willie Nelson,” has been a staple in the folk and country scene for more than 40 years. Laura Joy’s brand of acoustic song combines percussive finger picking with a remarkably buoyant voice, drawing a range of comparisons from Joni Mitchell to Natalie Merchant.
