Welcome to Stanford Live’s 2022–23 Annual Report. We invite you to join us as we reflect on a remarkable year of programming on our stages, on campus, and in our community.

I’d like to give special thanks to Chris Lorway for his leadership of Stanford Live from 2016 to 2023.

Through his strategic and artistic leadership, Chris has left an indelible mark on the organization.

He was instrumental in significantly expanding the programming at our celebrated venues of Bing Concert Hall and Frost Amphitheater, working with a diverse group of artists to commission new work and placing Stanford Live at the forefront of the performing arts.

In keeping with our commitment to connect performance to the significant issues, ideas and discoveries of our time, we organize our programming around themes and questions that are relevant to the moment. In 2022–23, our programmatic focus on place and healing built on recent themes of reconciliation and forgiveness and our relationship to land and community, especially Indigenous communities. With each season, we strive to work with artists and audiences to deepen these important lines of inquiry through unique performance experiences.

In the 2022–23 season, Joyce DiDonato partnered with a local chorus iSing to restore hope for the next generation in a song composed by youth about trees. Stanford alum Christopher Tin contemplated humanity’s role in species extinction in The Lost Birds, leading with hope and beauty over despair. Okaidja Afroso and Vân-Ánh Vanessa Võ confronted environmental degradation in their home countries of Ghana and Vietnam and mined traditional cultural knowledge to create new artistic rituals to find a way through the environmental challenges they, and we all, face.

Through powerful live performance experiences, we reflected on the growing mental health crisis on college campuses and in our communities. We shed light on the unequal effects of climate change and over-policing on communities. We contended with racism, and societal and political division,, all of it exacerbated by the pandemic and its rocky recovery. We also brought joy, humor and inspiration to our stages with return visits from renowned artists like Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott, Lang Lang, and Patti LuPone. In this year’s annual report, you’ll see how artists and artistic practice can bring us together, demonstrating our interdependence and suggesting new possibilities In closing, 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,

2022–23: Place & Healing Where have we been, and where do we go from here? Across our 2022–23 season, artists asked these questions and others: Where do we go to sustain one another? Whom have we lost, and how does that loss shape our response to climate change and social injustices?

Can personal and collective loss, when honored and engaged, lead to healing?

From the rite and right to breathe to art that honors lost species and creates new places where old ones stood or vanished, this season’s performances inspired and challenged us to imagine anew the interconnected communities we belong to, and those to which we owe renewed attention and care.

justice.

After a forced cancellation in 2021, we were finally able to present Dimitris Papaioannou’s internationally cocommissioned Transverse Orientation, a visually arresting choreographic spectacle that made its final world tour stop at Memorial Auditorium in December. It was followed by Eden, a dramatically staged recital by mezzosoprano Joyce DiDonato and Italian chamber orchestra Il Pomo d’Oro. Written to inspire deeper concern for the natural world and actions to support it, the Eden project invited Palo Alto youth choir iSing Silicon Valley to sing with Joyce the program’s youthcomposed anthem, “Seeds of Hope.”

We commissioned work by Ghanaian musician and composer Okaidja Afroso. His Jaku Mumor—Ancestral Spirit featured performers from Ghana in a riveting multi-media performance documenting the Ga-Dangme fishing culture and songs from Ghana’s Atlantic Gulf of Guinea.

In April, Meklit Hadero’s Movement Live featured several local artists who shared their migration stories in a beautifully produced work that integrated song, stories, and sound design, and the Australian Chamber Orchestra performed the new Echo Transcriptions by Stanford alum and composer Samuel Adams.

Classical From the beloved cellist Yo-Yo Ma to emerging violin virtuoso Randall Goosby, this season offered a range of memorable performances at Bing Concert Hall by renowned classical musicians and rising stars.

At the piano, Hélène Grimaud’s autumn program traveled from Chopin and Schumann’s romanticism to the boundary-pushing works of Satie and Debussy, and we were enchanted by Lang Lang’s ebullient interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Violinist Randall Goosby performed Beethoven’s Sonata No. 9, “Kreutzer” to raves, and under the baton of Lahav Shani, the Israel Philharmonic delivered a stirring rendition of Prokofiev’s Symphonies Nos. 1 and 5, as well as excerpts from his Romeo and Juliet.

We were honored to host stops on two farewell tours: long-time conductor Riccardo Muti of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the ninetime Grammy Award winning Emerson String Quartet. In April, the season concluded with the beloved duo of Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott, whose 2021 album Songs of Comfort and Hope was released as a balm for the pandemic’s first year.

Jazz From haunting performances like three-time Grammy Award winner Cécile McLorin Salvant’s Ghost Song in winter, to the joyful duo Tuck and Patti performing in the intimate surround of the Studio in spring, this season’s jazz offerings brought classic standards and dynamic innovations to our stages.

Jazz legend Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra ushered in our season with a swinging performance at Frost Amphitheater.

We were mesmerized by Grammy Award winner Luciana Souza’s soulful Brazilian songbook collaboration with Vince Mendoza and a big band in Storytellers during the spring. And composer, jazz violinist and MacArthur fellow Regina Carter challenged us with Gone in a Phrase of Air, an electric performance at Bing Concert Hall exploring themes of demolition, gentrification, and urban renewal, as well as how the arts might nurture sustainable communities.

Folk & SingerSongwriter The season’s singer-songwriter lineup featured legends and rising stars at both Bing Concert Hall and the Studio.

Global Voices The breadth of global artists who grace our stages has been a strength of Stanford Live for many years.

Performances in the 2022–23 season underscored the interconnectedness of our global community and the strength we draw from celebrating diverse cultures, musical traditions, and voices.

From the plaintive raags maestra Kala Ramnath brought to life, to D’DAT’s Diné-influenced jazz, funk and hiphop fusion and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra’s Diaspora: Jewish music of longing and celebration, Bing Concert Hall and the Studio elevated music from a variety of traditions and musical styles.

Dance & Theater Welcoming companies from three continents, the 2022–23 dance and theater season was marked by visually stunning reimaginings of old and ancient stories.

The season opened with 13 Tongues, a dreamlike fusion of ancient rites with modern Taipei culture performed by celebrated Taiwanese dance company Cloud Gate. The company, named after the oldest known dance in China, combines martial arts, Qi Gong, modern dance, and classical ballet. Prince Hamlet, a gender-bent retelling of Hamlet for both Deaf and hearing audiences wove Shakespeare’s text with poetic American Sign Language (ASL) and challenged ideas about who can tell which stories. The cast

participated in a meaningful bilingual pre-show conversation, and Deaf actor Dawn Jani Birley met with a Stanford undergraduate ASL class.

In December, the co-commissioned performance Transverse Orientation from Greek director and choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou received enormous ovations at Memorial Auditorium in its final two touring performances. The company’s dancers interacted with a complex set that included a roving bull animated by two dancers, enigmatic objects coming and going, and a pool of water covering the stage that was revealed only at the work’s conclusion. These mysteriously compelling images left the audience to decide their meaning.

Comedy & Cabaret Discovery, experimentation, play. In the convivial cabaret configuration of the Studio, visiting comics and performers collaborated with audiences in an intimate café setting. The effects this season were diverse and rewarding. Atsuko Okatsuka delivered her last live performance of her show, The Intruder, before it moved to HBO, and Canadian puppeteer Ronnie Burkett directed Little Willy, his raucous sendup of Shakespeare.

Suli McMullough, who wrote for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the Academy Awards, performed standup and conducted a writers’ workshop with Stanford students. The Studio also welcomed queer cabaret artist Migguel Anggelo’s LatinXoxo, fashion designer and crooner Isaac Mizrahi, comic Ian Lara, and New York piano bar favorite Brandon James Gwinn.

Stanford Live Arts Festival The Stanford Live Arts Festival returned to Frost Amphitheater in July for a season of outdoor music, dance, and community. Now in its third consecutive year, this five-week celebration of music and dance under the stars represents a strong collaboration with our Bay Area partners San Francisco Symphony, SFJAZZ, and San Francisco Ballet. The 2023 Festival showcased the Imua Hawaii Music Festival, Uruguayan singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler, and legendary Brazilian bandleader Sérgio Mendes.

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. The 2022-23 season was headlined by Willie Nelson, an evening with James Taylor, Cavetown, and REZZ. re:SET, a summer mini-festival featuring LCD Soundsystem, Steve Lacy, and boygenius represented a first for this collaboration.

Frost Amphitheater also remained an important gathering place for Stanford’s vibrant community life over the past year, co-hosting Blackfest 2023 with the Black Family Gathering Committee, High Holidays with Hillel@ Stanford, Frost Fest with the Stanford Concert Network, and Baccalaureate, Stanford’s commencement celebration.

The Stanford community was invited to a procession of breath from Black House to Bing Concert Hall led by dance faculty member amara tabor smith. A ritual-making session led by performance artist brontë velez invited participants to create and practice rituals of attention, listening, grief, levity, and belonging. In support of this ongoing practice, we worked with Kimberly McNair, lecturer in Stanford’s African and African American Studies, to connect with social justice organizations around the Bay Area and to learn how we can better support their work.

K-12 programming We were thrilled to return to live performances for K-12 audiences at Bing Concert Hall in 202223, and we continued to support local students and educators with workshops and school visit programs introduced over the last three years.

Our live matinees, which enjoyed an average of 88% attendance, gave an opportunity for Bay Area students and educators to engage with some of the performance highlights of the season while also interacting with the artists in workshops and Q&As. Third Coast Percussion performed their Think Outside the Drum program to over 700 students and teachers, introducing core elements of music such as melody and rhythm with the audience clapping, singing, and moving along. In February, we welcomed New York-based jazz education organization JazzReach, whose program Jean-Michel and the Be-Bop Kings combined live jazz, projections, and narration to highlight the ways in which the great painter Jean-Michel Basquiat drew inspiration

We closed the season with Vanessa Vân-Ánh Võ’s Mekong: LIFE. The Vietnamese-American composer and multi-instrumentalist brought together Bay Area-based artists from Cambodia, Laos and Thailand in a music and video production celebrating the cultures of the Mekong Delta region and exploring the effects of climate change and environmental exploitation.

Many of our partner teachers shared with us that they continue to navigate challenges created by the interconnected traumas and losses of the pandemic for their students and families. It was an important reminder to us that the questions of Place and Healing extend beyond the concert hall, and that healing requires community resources and care. In response to educators’ needs, we offered a workshop track led by nationally recognized arts educator Michelle Holdt, Creative Compassionate Classrooms, as well as online drop-in sessions that allowed educators to discuss the trainings and challenges in their classrooms.

from jazz giants such as Dizzy Gillespie and celebrated them in his paintings. Members of JazzReach also coached jazz ensembles at Cesar Chavez Ravenswood Middle School and Gunn High School in Palo Alto.

The next matinee featured the Queen’s Cartoonists, a stellar group of musicians who combine jazz, classical, and film music to accompany cartoons drawn from over a century of animation. We were excited to see this performance support our partnership with East Palo Alto’s Ravenswood City School District, with the district’s Belle Haven Elementary bringing their entire student body to the performance.

The quality of this performance was so amazing, and I absolutely loved the relevance of the topic.

Having such a high-quality artistic performance that not only spoke to a topic of huge importance but also exposed students to a variety of new instruments and musical genres was brilliant. The chance for my students to see their identities validated in such a profoundly beautiful way was so appreciated.
