2018 CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS SPONSOR AND A PROUD EMPLOYER IN INDIANA.

PASSION!

We’re inspired by passionate performances.

That’s why we applaud you, Carmel.

alliedsolutions.net

DEAR FRIENDS, As we begin a new performance season here at the Center for the Performing Arts, we want to thank patrons like you for making the past year so successful.

Across the 2017-18 season at the Palladium, the Tarkington and the Studio Theater, we saw 106,450 people attend performances presented by the Center, our six Resident Companies and other arts groups. Those performances included 88 by Civic Theatre, 83 by Actors Theatre of Indiana, 7 by Carmel Symphony Orchestra and 16 by the Indiana Wind Symphony, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and Central Indiana Dance Ensemble. Other organizations and families rented our facilities for 37 more performances – as well as 39 corporate events, 9 weddings and/or receptions, 3 school commencement ceremonies, 5 city events and many other special occasions.

Our own Center Presents series of 47 performances last season included 14 sellouts at the Palladium and average paid attendance of 920 per event. We’re especially pleased that first-time visitors accounted for 37 percent of our ticket sales.

Another key segment of our work is providing education and enrichment opportunities for people of all ages. Last season, those efforts included scores of adult classes in vocal performance, dance, ukulele, standup comedy and public speaking; nearly 30 interactive music sessions for toddlers and preschoolers; 3 arts-based summer day camps for kids; and seven educational field trips for local students. More than 3,000 students and music lovers visited the Great American Songbook Foundation Exhibit Gallery at the Palladium, and the Songbook Foundation conducted 45 of its Perfect Harmony music sessions for older adults with dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.

It is truly gratifying to see how the Center has been embraced by the people we work to serve. We owe that success to our donors, patrons, volunteers, staff, sponsors and other partners who understand and appreciate our mission: to engage and inspire the Central Indiana community through enriching arts experiences.

Thank you for engaging with us.

QUEEN EXTRAVAGANZA

Thursday, September 20 at 7:30pm | The Palladium Few groups can top the U.K.’s Queen for musical virtuosity, operatic grandeur and sing-along pop appeal. Now you can catch the official tribute show, created by original band members Roger Taylor and Brian May and packed with hits like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Under Pressure,” “Killer Queen” and “Another One Bites the Dust.”

Fronting the band is Brazilian-born singer and actor Alirio Netto, one of his nation’s best-known rock voices. He recently played the starring role of Galileo in the Brazilian production of the Queen-based musical We Will Rock You, and he was named Brazil’s Best Musical Actor for his portrayal of Judas Iscariot in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Kellie Pickler’s

country career covers a lot of ground – with a lot of heart

By Scott Hall Kellie Pickler does so much stuff, you could call her the queen of all media.

And she would respond with humble, folksy gratitude.

“God bless ya,” is what she said to us, in a phone chat from her Nashville home. “I try to do different things, and if I feel passionate about it, I’m all in, sure.”

Since her American Idol debut at age 19, Pickler has: • Released four acclaimed albums of radio-friendly but tradition-inspired 8

country music, with hit singles including “Red High Heels,” “I Wonder” and “Best Days of Your Life” • Performed on 11 USO tours, including trips to Iraq and Afghanistan • Starred for three seasons of CMT’s I Love Kellie Pickler with her husband, songwriter-producer Kyle Jacobs • Won the 18th season of Dancing with the Stars • Voiced the lead character in a Veggie Tales video • Launched a line of housewares.

That’s just a partial list, all the more impressive for a North Carolina girl who, as told in her songs and interviews, was essentially abandoned by her parents and raised by her grandparents. It was her grandmother who instilled Pickler’s love of country legends like Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, and presumably her plucky attitude, too.

“I work hard, and I just try to surround myself with good people, and I’ve been blessed to have different opportunities come along,” says Pickler, now 32. “I’m all about jumping, and I hope my parachute opens. If it doesn’t, it’s a rocky landing, but I get back up and jump again.”

Still jumping, Pickler spent the month of July at the most famous

residence in Memphis to shoot a Hallmark Channel holiday romance, Christmas at Graceland. She portrays a Chicago finance executive who reconsiders her values after returning to her hometown.

“It’s a sweet Hallmark movie – you know, they all have happy endings,” says Pickler, who performs Nov. 3 at the Palladium. “It was nice to have a Hallmark Christmas for once.”

While living at a guest house on the grounds, Pickler was able to roam the legendary former home of Elvis Presley, whom she enjoyed learning more about.

“I got to kind of be Alice in (Continued on next Wonderland andpage) walk around the mansion and just kind of explore on my own,” she says. “My favorite part was getting to know about him and just learning about the person behind the icon, the human being, and learning about his military service.”

Pickler has undertaken her own service through her work with the USO. Honoring military personnel and veterans is a cause close to her heart.

“We can’t all hop on a plane and fly to Afghanistan to entertain the troops, but you can give in other ways,” she says. “If you see someone in the airport or at the grocery store and they’re in a uniform, or a gentleman wearing a Vietnam hat, just go up and say, ‘Thank you for (Continued...)

9

your service.’ … just those simple words of kindness and gratitude, letting people know that you don’t take what they do for granted.”

That same spirit of goodwill is reflected in Pickler’s current focus, Pickler & Ben, a nationally syndicated lifestyle-talk show that just began its second season. (It airs locally weekdays on WRTV-Channel 6.)

Nominated for three Daytime Emmy Awards, the show often profiles everyday people serving their communities, along with the usual parade of celebrities and awardwinning chefs.

“There is a lot of bad in the world, but there’s a whole lot of good too, and we get to show all that good stuff on the show,” she says.

Amid the rigorous shooting schedule, Pickler carves out little windows of time to work on her music. She has been writing songs, often with her husband, and she hopes to return to the studio soon to “make another Kellie country record.”

As for the Palladium show, she and her band promise a broad survey of her career to date, along with a few special treats.

“We do songs from all of the records that I’ve recorded, and I grew up on very traditional country music, so don’t be surprised if I throw in some cover songs and some of my favorite classics,” she says. “We hope everybody will come out and enjoy and have fun with us.”

BUDDY GUY WITH SPECIAL GUEST QUINN SULLIVAN

Saturday, September 22 at 8pm | The Palladium Among the last of the great bluesmen who migrated from the Mississippi Delta to create the electric “Chicago blues” style, Buddy Guy was a session guitarist for Chess Records, supporting names like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, and he later partnered with harmonica master Junior Wells. Guy also established the famed Checkerboard Lounge nightclub and later Buddy Guy’s Legends on Chicago’s south side.

The seven-time Grammy Award winner has inspired generations of bluesrock guitarists, including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer. His new album, The Blues Is Alive and Well, features guest appearances by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck and James Bay.

Joshua Bell, violin With a career spanning over 30 years as a soloist, chamber musician, recording artist, conductor and director, Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated violinists of his era. Since 2011, he has served as Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, succeeding Sir Neville Marriner, who formed the orchestra in 1958.

Bell’s interests range from repertoire hallmarks to commissioned works, including Nicholas Maw’s Violin Concerto, for which Bell received a Grammy® Award. Committed to expanding music’s cultural impact, Bell has collaborated with peers including Chick Corea, Wynton Marsalis, Chris Botti, Frankie Moreno, and Josh Groban.

An exclusive Sony Classical artist, Bell has recorded over 40 albums garnering Grammy, Mercury, Gramophone and ECHO Klassik awards. In June, Sony Classical released Bruch: Scottish Fantasy and G minor Violin Concerto performed by Bell and the Academy.

In 2007, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post story on Bell performing incognito in a Washington, D.C., metro station sparked a conversation regarding art and context and inspired Kathy Stinson’s 2013 children’s book, The Man with the Violin. In 2017, Bell debuted Man with the Violin family concert, including a newly commissioned animated film, with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center.

Born in Bloomington, Indiana, Bell began violin at age 4, and at age 12 began studies with Josef Gingold. At 14, Bell debuted with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra, and at 17 debuted at Carnegie Hall with the St. Louis Symphony. Bell received the 2007 Avery Fisher Prize and has been named Musical America’s 2010 Instrumentalist of the Year and an Indiana Living Legend.

Bell performs on the 1713 Huberman Stradivarius violin with a François Tourte 18th century bow.

Sam Haywood, piano Sam Haywood has performed to critical acclaim in many of the world’s major concert halls. The Washington Post hailed his “dazzling, evocative playing” and “lyrical sensitivity,” and the New York Times his “passionate flair and sparkling clarity.” He embraces a wide spectrum of the piano repertoire and is equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician or with accompanying Lieder. He has had a regular duo partnership with Joshua Bell since 2010 and often performs with cellist Steven Isserlis.

Haywood has recorded two solo albums for Hyperion, one featuring the piano music of Julius Isserlis (grandfather of Steven Isserlis) and the other featuring Charles Villiers Stanford’s preludes. His enthusiasm for period instruments led to a recording on Chopin’s own Pleyel piano. In 2013, Haywood co-founded Solent Music Festival in Lymington, UK. The annual festival features highly varied programs by internationally renowned artists with projects in the local community. Artists have included the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Alina Ibragimova, Mark Padmore and the Endellion Quartet.

Haywood was mentored by David Hartigan, Paul Badura-Skoda and Maria Curcio. Following his early success in the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition, the Royal Philharmonic Society awarded him the Julius Isserlis Scholarship. He studied both at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna and at the Royal Academy of Music in London, of which he is an Associate (ARAM).

Haywood has written a children’s opera and is regularly involved in family concerts, workshops and masterclasses. He is on the roster of Musical Orbit, the online teaching website, and his invention Memorystars® can significantly reduce the time needed to memorize a music score. His other passions include literature, physics, natural history, technology, magic, fountain pens and table tennis.

PROGRAM NOTES Sonata No. 2 for Violin and Piano in A Major, Op. 100

(“Thun” or “Meistersinger”) Johannes Brahms The musical manner that Brahms adopted as a young man and the skill that he showed when he was only 20 led Robert Schumann in 1853 to proclaim (in an article he entitled New Paths) his discovery of Brahms’ musical style and extraordinary skills: “A young man has appeared over whose cradle Graces and Heroes have stood watch, a musician to give ideal expression to his times. At the piano, he played sonatas that were symphonies in disguise. He bore the marks that proclaimed, ‘This is a chosen one.’”

From the very beginning, he was the Brahms of noble melody, of rich texture, of rhythmic freedom, of large statements in big forms beautifully written for the instruments. This distinctive signature of Brahms does not mean, however, that he did not develop as a composer and that the music he wrote at 20 and at 55 are not substantially different. He matured and grew as a composer, saying musically different things at different times, yet when he was young, he had already found his own eloquent language, which he would use consistently and well until the end of his life.

Schumann’s pronouncement also mentioned that Brahms at age 20 had already written some violin sonatas, and years later, a Brahms pupil reported that the composer had discarded five of them before composing the first one in 1879 that he thought good enough to preserve and present to the world.

In the fruitful summer of 1886, on the shores of Lake Thun in Switzerland, Brahms 25

wrote his Second Violin Sonata, the Cello Sonata, Op. 99, the Piano Trio, Op. 101, another Violin Sonata, Op. 108, and 15 lieder. It was the time of full and rich maturity in his creative life that followed the completion of his Fourth Symphony.

The huge amount of work he completed that season did not require hermit-like retirement from everything but composition. He read, studied and performed with other musicians in the neighborhood and led a busy social life with friends he invited to Thun from Vienna, among them a talented young singer with whom he was in love.

The Violin Sonata, Op. 100, the shortest of his three violin sonatas, is a sweet and lyrical work, given an almost Schubertian flavor by Brahms’ use of two melodies from his new songs as the second themes of the first and last movements.

The sensitive first movement, Allegro amabile, is a tight musical structure whose tenderness may have been inspired by the song text, “Like melodies running lightly through my mind, like the scent of spring flowers in bloom … .” Second is a slow movement, Andante tranquillo, into which Brahms twice inserts a scherzolike variation on the principal theme. The last movement, Allegro grazioso (quasi andante), is a rondo, unusual for its calm and repose.

The composer and the violinist Joseph Hellmesberger first performed the sonata in public on December 2, 1886.

Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2, Op. 13 Edvard Grieg Edvard Grieg, Norway’s greatest composer, had highly progressive interests for his time, in particular an enthusiasm for the nationalistic idea of writing music specifically Norwegian in character. Although the prosperous Scandinavian middle class insisted that Germany was the only source of music of any value, Grieg held to his ideals, and eventually succeeded in creating a new style, both personal and national.

Grieg married his cousin, Nina Hagerup, in 1867 and composed the sonata in Oslo during his honeymoon. Commentators contend it displays a vital optimism traceable to his marriage. The sonata debuted in Oslo in 1867 soon after it was completed, with Gudbrand Bøhn, violinist, and Grieg, pianist.

While his first violin sonata explored harmonic and rhythmic frontiers, Sonata No. 2 is characterized by its thematic unity. One motif, in various forms, could be said to underpin the whole sonata, whose most distinguishing quality is the incorporation of folk music. Much instrumental Norwegian folk music is constructed from small melodic themes, or motives, repeated with small variations, and then connected into a large thematic unit. The motive Grieg uses here, often referred to as a Grieg-motif, can be traced to this source.

The first movement, Lento dolorosa-Allegro vivace, in sonata form, begins with an improvisational and rather sad, slow opening, but then becomes a spirited and optimistic Norwegian rondo. Both it and the last movement are characterized by 26

the elements of the springar, a Norwegian rhythmic dance with a rolling and even flow. The second movement, Allegretto tranquillo, follows a three-part form. The last movement, Allegro animato, a somewhat free sonata-rondo, begins with the violin creating a sense of nationalistic folk material. This movement, although in a ternary rhythm like the first, has a different feel and a much faster tempo, yet it shares a similar combination of sonata-form and rondo.

Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2 in D Major, Op. 94a Sergei Prokofiev Sergei Prokofiev, a Russian composer of the first half of the 20th century, worked and lived both in Europe and America as well as in his own homeland. He was born in a remote Ukrainian village where his agronomist father managed a large estate.

His mother gave him his first music lessons, and later he studied at the Conservatory in St. Petersburg, where he became a brilliant pianist. After the Russian Revolution, Prokofiev came to America and then settled in Paris, where he was an influential figure until his return to Russia in 1933.

Due to the beginning of World War II in 1941, Prokofiev was evacuated from Moscow, which was endangered by the advancing German army, to the city of Alma Ata in the foothills of the Altai Mountains of Central Asia. In September he began to write his Sonata for Flute and Piano there, and in June 1943, he finished it in the Ural city of Perm, at that time called Molotov. Despite the difficulties and displacements of wartime life, this sonata has a sunny and serene disposition. The renowned violinist David Oistrakh heard the sonata in December 1943 and suggested to Prokofiev that he adapt it for violin. Prokofiev complied, and on June 17, 1944, Oistrakh gave the premiere performance of the violin version of the sonata. Prokofiev had made no changes in the piano part and very few when he transcribed the flute part for violin.

He altered the work only enough to make it idiomatic for the violin.

The playwright George Bernard Shaw, who in his early career had also been a music critic, described this work as a “humorous masterpiece of authentic violin music.”

Most musicians and critics would not agree with him: Humor is not the predominating quality of this work, and although it became a violin sonata, no one doubts its genesis as a flute sonata. This sonata has lyrical content, classical structure, transparent texture and tender feeling. The Moderato begins with a protracted flowing melody evident throughout the movement. There are actually two contrasting themes in the first movement, briefly developed in turn and then recapitulated. The piano has a particularly important part in this movement, with many solos in the episodes that link the themes. A light, capricious Scherzo-Presto of brilliant yet carefree and witty quality, follows. It has a quieter, relaxed middle section for contrast. In the ingenious third movement, Andante, Prokofiev combines the ideas of the pensive opening section and the intricately figured second section in the third part. Eighth notes in the framing outer parts contrast with the triplets in the central section to emphasize the shape of the movement. This movement has both grace and delicacy.

The finale, Allegro con brio, playfully combines the classic sonata and rondo forms in an exuberant movement that recalls moments of Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony. ©2018 Susan Halpern

It plays more than 500 public and official performances annually, and its musicians appear at the White House more than 300 times each year, performing for State arrival ceremonies, dinners and receptions and accompanying famous entertainers.

The national tours began in 1891 under then-Director John Philip Sousa, who led the band for 12 years before launching his famous civilian band. A baton presented to Sousa at his final Marine Band concert was later returned by his family and is passed down to each new director. Tickets will be available starting Oct. 1.

CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER

Friday, November 2 at 8pm | The Palladium Orion Weiss, piano; Paul Huang, violin; Paul Neubauer, viola Keith Robinson, cello; Xavier Foley, bass Five consummate musicians perform diverse gems from the 19th century. Duos and trios fill the first half with enchantment and surprise, with Beethoven's variations on Mozart's melody, Schubert's creation for the arpeggione (an instrument that no longer exists) and Bottesini's virtuoso showpiece for violin and double bass. The artists join forces after intermission to perform Schubert's ”Trout Quintet,” which has garnered a reputation as one of the most popular works in the chamber repertory.

The Chamber Music Society’s annual schedule includes a full performance season in New York, a full season of national and international touring, nationally televised broadcasts on PBS’ Live From Lincoln Center and regular broadcasts on SiriusXM and American Public Media’s Performance Today.

Each year the Center provides access to the arts for thousands of people of all ages – building community, enriching lives, and inspiring minds young and old.

Our education and outreach initiatives include performing arts classes for adults and special programs for upcoming generations, such as the interactive Peanut Butter & Jam concert series for preschoolers, the Palladium PALS reading club, educational videoconferences for students around the state, and our Student Discount Ticket program, through which students can attend performances for just $15.

ABOUT THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK FOUNDATION The mission of the Great American Songbook Foundation is to inspire and educate by celebrating the Great American Songbook.

The beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics created by the musical masterminds of Tin Pan Alley, Broadway, and Hollywood during the first half of the 20th century represent the golden age of American popular music.

Based at the Palladium, the Great American Songbook Foundation is permanently affiliated with the Center for the Performing Arts and is one of only five worldwide Cultural Affiliates of the Los Angeles-based GRAMMY Museum®.

The Foundation carries out its unique mission to preserve America’s rich musical legacy in numerous ways: • The Songbook Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the Great American Songbook, with a new class inducted each year. A permanent exhibit honoring the people who created and popularized this extraordinary music is located in the Shiel Sexton Songbook Lounge on the Palladium’s Gallery level.

• The Songbook Archives houses sheet music, recordings, and other artifacts from the careers of artists such as songwriters Meredith Willson (The Music Man), Johnny Burke (“Swinging on a Star”), Gus Kahn (“It Had to Be You”), and Hy Zaret (“Unchained Melody”).

• The Songbook Exhibit Gallery presents rotating interactive exhibits that share the music, history, and culture of the Songbook.

• The Songbook Academy ® Summer Intensive is a national performing arts program for high school vocalists and the only one of its kind dedicated to the music of the Songbook.

• Perfect Harmony provides therapeutic music programming for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other neurodegenerative conditions.

Visit the Songbook Exhibit Gallery! Located on the Gallery level of the Palladium Hours: Monday – Friday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM The Gallery is also open prior to performances in the Songbook and Drewry Simmons Vornehm Jazz Series and select additional @SongbookFoundation
