2021–22 SEASON

Annual Report

Our Mission Stanford Live presents a wide range of the finest performances from around the world, fostering a vibrant learning community and providing distinctive experiences through the performing arts.

With its primary home at Bing Concert Hall and Frost Amphitheater, Stanford Live is simultaneously a public square, a sanctuary, and a lab, drawing on the breadth and depth of Stanford University to connect performance to the significant issues, ideas, and discoveries of our time.

Stanford Live includes a wealth of collaborators and partners, including Stanford academic departments and individual faculty members, Stanford students, off-campus arts institutions, and community organizations. Crucially, Stanford Live supports the university’s focus on placing the arts at the heart of a Stanford education.

Explore Our 2021–22 Annual Report It is so wonderful to be back in the business of live performance. While there were still significant challenges over the past year—including ongoing closures and cancellations—overall there was a clear sense that the worst was behind us. Artists once again began to move around the world, and audiences made their way back to our venues. While we still saw some hesitancy and caution from some of our patrons, we are optimistic that Stanford Live will emerge from the past couple of years stronger than ever.

This year’s annual report offers a look at all that we accomplished in this transitional year. The pages that follow clearly illustrate our team’s adaptive and innovative approach to programming and engagement. We continued to build our expertise in digital content, took our visiting artists out to the schools in our community, and partnered with colleagues both on and off campus to deliver a slate of exciting programs and events. And more than ever before, we provided opportunities for Stanford students to engage with and participate in our season—including the launch of a new initiative for aspiring student arts journalists.

In a season that explored ideas around reconciliation and forgiveness, I want to give a special shout out to our friends at the Native American Cultural Center and its director Karen Biestman. Their guidance and support of this year’s season ensured that all artists from visiting Nations were properly welcomed and embraced during their time on campus.

Finally, I want to thank our members and supporters for all that you do to help us thrive. We look forward to another great season with all of you.

With warm regards,

Chris Lorway Executive Director Stanford Live

2021–22 Season Themes After an unpredictable couple of pandemic years, Stanford Live returned for our 2021–22 season with performances in Bing Concert Hall, the Studio, and Memorial Auditorium. The season focused on themes of reconciliation and forgiveness, with many of the artists originally scheduled for the previously canceled 2020–21 season at last able to perform at our venues. From artists whose

work shares the histories and cultures of Indigenous people across the globe to performances that highlight the important role reconciliation plays in addressing histories and building inclusive communities, our 2021–22 season sought to empower artists and the important messages their work embodies.

Residencies & Commissions Supporting artists remains paramount to Stanford Live’s mission, especially after two years of disruption and uncertainty in the performing arts due to COVID-19.

In the 2021–22 season, we continued to increase investment in commissions and co-productions and expanded residency opportunities to give artists the time, space, and resources to develop new work at Stanford.

The season started with a two-week residency for electro-pop artist and Indigenous rights activist iskwē. Together with a creative team of dancers, powwow singers, and musicians, iskwē created, rehearsed, and performed her immersive 4

and multidisciplinary concert acākosīk in Bing Concert Hall. The second residency of the season featured Kyle Abraham and his dance company, A.I.M, and electronic music producer Jlin who visited campus for a weeklong stay of rehearsals, master classes, and talks ahead of the North American premiere of Requiem: Fire in the Air of the Earth.

Other major commissions included the world-premiere of film director Sam Green’s latest work, 32 Sounds, and a live performance of Gabriel Kahane’s 2022 album, Magnificent Bird.

The Studio The Studio proved its versatility and popularity again with nearly 50 performances in genres ranging from singer-songwriters and jazz to theater and drag. The theater saw return visits from Inua Ellams (An Evening with an Immigrant) and Ryan J. Haddad (Falling for Make Believe) plus a first-time visit from science journalist Alanna Mitchell in her one-woman theatrical memoir on climate change, Sea Sick. Comedy at the Bing brought Dwayne Perkins, former Saturday Night Live member Colin Quinn, and an evening of First Nations comedy featuring

Pete Lee, Taietsarón:sere “Tai” Leclaire, and Stanford alum Jim Ruel.

Performances also included singer-songwriter Raye Zaragoza and Lakota hip-hop artist Frank Waln, two nights of shows by Portland’s premier drag clown Carla Rossi, local jazz drummer Jaz Sawyer with vocalists Kim Nalley and Jazzmeia Horn, a sold-out evening of ukulele with Daniel Ho and more sold-out shows from Bay Area–based South Asian fusion band Raga & Blues.

Stanford Live Arts Festival After a successful inaugural series in summer 2021, the Stanford Live Arts Festival returned to the historic Frost Amphitheater for another fiveweek concert series programmed in partnership with Bay Area arts institutions SFJAZZ, San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Ballet, and Stanford Jazz Workshop.

Shaped by a community-driven focus, the festival continued to welcome new audiences to Frost and provide many local artists with a performance space.

Highlights from Stanford Live– programmed concerts include Chilean singer and songwriter Mon Laferte and the lively atmosphere of the San Jose–based norteño phenomenon Los Tigres del Norte, who welcomed the youth mariachi group Mariachi Media Luna, Bay Area mariachi band Mariachi Nueva Generacion, and Ballet Folklorico to the stage for guest performances.

Festival Partners Building on the partnerships from summer 2021, we collaborated with major Bay Area organizations to bring classical, jazz, and dance performances to the Frost stage for the Stanford Live Arts Festival. Stanford Jazz Workshop celebrated 50 years of shaping the sound of jazz in the Bay Area with a concert featuring a 50th Anniversary Band, followed by a performance by jazz icon Dianne Reeves with orchestra.

SFJAZZ programming included Latin jazz legend Arturo Sandoval and Afro-Cuban percussionist Pedrito Martinez in a double bill; esperanza spalding’s latest project, which fuses dance with her trademark improvisational music; and a celebration of the music of Linda Ronstadt featuring vocalist Ann Hampton Callaway, the Stanford Live Orchestra, folk-pop trio Luci, “Femmeton” singer and Bay Area local La Doña, and soprano Anne-Marie MacIntosh.

12

In a partnership dating back to Frost’s reopening in 2019, the San Francisco Symphony presented four concerts in July, including a cabaret-meets-classical performance featuring Pink Martini conducted Edwin Outwater and other programs conducted by Erina Yashima, Paolo Bortolameolli, and Ludovic Morlot.

Complexions Contemporary Ballet made its Bay Area debut at Frost in a co-presentation with the San Francisco Ballet, performing STAR DUST: From Bach to Bowie. After a strong run at Frost last year, SF Ballet's Starry Nights returned, this time with Jerome Robbins’s In the Night, Helgi Tomasson’s 7 for Eight, and William Forsythe’s Blake Works I.

Stanford Live & Goldenvoice Since Frost Amphitheater’s reopening in 2019, our partnership with Goldenvoice has quickly placed Frost on the map as one of the Bay Area’s leading outdoor concert venues. Deadheads enjoyed concerts this summer by former Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh and Bob Weir and Mickey Hart plus a third visit from Grateful Dead tribute jam band Joe Russo’s Almost Dead. The Goldenvoice lineup also included shows from My Morning Jacket, Courtney Barnett’s Here and There Festival (featuring Chicano 14

Batman, Julia Jacklin, and Japanese Breakfast), plus a evening of comedy starring Steve Martin and Martin Short.

Stanford Live and Goldenvoice resumed their collaboration with the studentrun Stanford Concert Network, which allows students to program and operate major concerts on campus, including a Frost rooftop performance by rapper Ric Wilson and the 2022 Frost Music and Arts Festival featuring Aminé, Victoria Monét, and Tkay Maidza.

Films & Podcasts As live shows returned to the stage, we expanded our digital content by producing and commissioning new films and podcasts, including iskwē’s theatrical concert acākosīk, which transformed multiple spaces in Bing Concert Hall into an immersive audience experience.

We were one of four national performing arts organizations (including Younes and Soraya Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts, Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater for Music and Dance, and Brooklyn Academy of Music) to copresent round two of Films.Dance, a series of 15 dance films directed by Los Angeles–based Jacob Jonas The Company and shot in various locations around the world during the pandemic.

Former curatorial fellow Will Paisley (’20, Navajo and Blackfeet) produced five episodes of Resilience in this Racing Reality (R-cubed), our

podcast series of conversations with Indigenous musicians, performers, and artists who performed at Stanford Live during the 2021–22 season.

R-cubed gave space to artists to discuss their creative practices and the impact of their work on furthering Indigenous performance and promoting contemporary representations of Indigenous people in the 21st century.

Through a partnership with the podcast Conversations on Dance, many of the dance artists performing on our stages participated in podcast interviews, including award-winning choreographer Kyle Abraham and composer Jlin (speaking about the premiere of their new work, Requiem: Fire in the Air of the Earth) and Jacob Jonas, director, choreographer, and artistic director of Jacob Jonas The Company.

Campus & Artistic Engagement With students back on campus for the 2021–22 academic year, many of our campus engagement events resumed in-person. In the fall, we collaborated with Stanford’s Native American Cultural Center for a series of events between students and visiting Indigenous artists iskwē and William Prince. Student engagement with artists also included master classes, including those taught by choreographer Kyle Abraham, renowned pianist Kirill Gerstein, and internationally acclaimed bass-baritone Gerald Finley.

In a post-performance talk, Rhum + Clay members, journalist and Stanford lecturer Janine Zacharia, and Stanford professor of communication Jeff Hancock delved into The War of the Worlds’ themes of media, disinformation, and mass hysteria. After his studio performance, Samora Pinderhughes Photos (clockwise from left): Samora Pinderhughes postperformance discussion; Kyle Abraham's master class with Stanford students in Roble Arts Gym; a conversation about Native heritage with William Prince and undergrad Sha’teiohseri:io “Rio” Patton

moderated a conversation on social justice and prison reform. Other artist dialogues included Kyle Abraham in a conversation on reimagining Black futures with A-lan Holt (director of Stanford’s Institute for Diversity in the Arts, or IDA), amara tabor-smith (IDA artist-in-residence), and Thomas F. DeFrantz (professor of dance; African and African American studies; theater studies; and gender, sexuality, and feminist studies at Duke University); singer-songwriter Martha Redbone and Mohammed Soriano-Bilal (director of the Office for Inclusion, Belonging, and Intergroup Communication at Stanford) on the intersection of Black and Indigenous identities; and playwright Inua Ellams speaking with Stanford professor of English Ato Quayson on the power of un-othering through artistic exchange.

K–12 Programming & Community Engagement The shifting educational landscape over the past two years called for adaptive and innovative thinking for our K–12 program. When a surge of a new COVID-19 variant required us to cancel our student matinee series, we arranged for our matinee artists to perform at schools instead, presenting seven performances for over 1,200 local elementary school students.

Along with in-school programs spotlighting Native American music and dance and Pacific Islander cultures, world-renowned dancer Lil Buck and the cast of his Memphis Jookin’ show ended their performances with a freestyle dance jam, that had dancers and students joyfully trading moves.

We offered six professional development workshops for K–12 teachers, both online and in person, providing an expansive range of resources for educators. Our workshop leaders included Bay Area arts and education leaders such as Latin jazz great John Santos.

In our artists-in-schools programs in East Palo Alto’s Ravenswood City School District, our long-standing residency with teaching artists Quinteto Latino grew to include multidisciplinary residencies combining music and visual art at the district’s three elementary schools.

"Being a photographer with Stanford Live pushed me to practice new forms of portrait and event photography and to adapt to new settings and lighting with every gig. I loved how this role allowed me to experience, and in a way participate in, so many diverse performances on campus.

The events team was always supportive on the ground at each show and gave encouraging feedback post-edit, which helped me grow as a photographer."

—Marina Dewinara Luccioni, Student Photographer "I not only gained invaluable experience, guidance, and mentorship within the journalism field, but also had the opportunity to patronize uniquely creative and artistic facets of campus that I otherwise wouldn’t have likely had the opportunity to engage with. Through the wide breadth of genres and artists that Stanford Live brings to campus, I found this fellowship to be deeply rewarding, as it exposed me to a wealth of musical talent unlike anything I’ve ever seen before."

—Ryan Loo, Arts Journalism Fellow 22

Students at Stanford Live Through internships, apprenticeships, fellowships, and part-time paid student positions, we seek to provide students with opportunities for professional learning in the performing arts industry. The 2021–22 season curatorial fellows, Haley Stafford and Ramiro Hampson-Medina, worked with the curatorial team on this season’s events and were instrumental in developing relationships with student groups on campus. Our yearlong Frost apprenticeship gave Katie Pieschala on-theground experience operating a large outdoor venue and insight into the many moving parts of Frost programming.

Part-time student positions in our ticket office gave four students—Zhang Bai-han, Victor Cheruiyot, Itzel Lintzu Juarez, and Magdalena Ohstrom—the opportunity to learn valuable customer service, sales, and database

experience. A pool of part-time student photographers—Nikolas Liepins, Marina Dewinara Luccioni, Vanessa Onuoha, and Vel Senthil—were also crucial, helping us document all of our performances this season. The Stanford Live marketing and communications team welcomed two interns during the 2021–22 season: Ijeoma Alozie during the academic year and Caleb Liu in the summer.

The newest addition to our student learning opportunities is the Arts Journalism Fellowship, a collaboration with the university’s studentrun newspaper, The Stanford Daily, aimed at providing student writers with arts journalism experience covering music, theater, dance, and more. Stanford Live's journalism fellows included Betty He, Ryan Loo, and Sofia Gonzalez-Rodriguez.
