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

SHINE! Enjoy tonight, but remember that the real showstopper is you.

DEAR FRIENDS, As winter passes into the rearview mirror, we can look forward to spring blooms and a fantastic range of events on the Center for the Performing Arts campus.

Our Center Presents concert calendar runs the gamut, from the classic country of Ronnie Milsap to the classical virtuosity of Itzhak Perlman; from the MTV memories of Howard Jones and “Weird Al” Yankovic to the international flair of Celtic Nights and Pink Martini; from the 500-year history of the Staatskapelle Weimar Orchestra to the youthful energy of Nick Ziobro and Julia Goodwin celebrating the Great American Songbook with Michael Feinstein.

Spring is also a wonderful time to explore the broad range of education and outreach events the Center provides for people of all ages – a vital part of our mission that is not always apparent to concertgoers.

The popular Group Vocal Coaching class returns on Wednesdays from March 21 through April 11, with professional tips for amateurs on song selection, vocal technique and interpretation. Many participants are looking ahead to our annual World Voice Day celebration on April 16, when the public is invited to perform on the Palladium stage. Both are sponsored by The Voice Clinic of Indiana.

Our Dance Discovery classes enable patrons to try out new moves associated with upcoming concerts. “Soft Shoe & Musical Theatre” is the theme for the March 14 session, setting the stage for the March 17 performance by Pink Martini.

For youth, our upcoming programs include two summer camps. At Opera Camp, scheduled June 18-22, teens are coached on singing, movement and dramatic interpretation by Indianapolis Opera professionals. At Jungle Jams camp, scheduled July 9-13, kids ages 4-5 learn the basics of rhythm and groove while exploring positive character traits through animal-themed musical activities.

These are just a few of the great programs available. For more information, please visit us at TheCenterPresents.org. .

STAATSKAPELLE WEIMAR ORCHESTRA

Friday, March 9 at 8PM | The Palladium

With a history dating back to the 1490s, the Staatskapelle Weimar is the oldest orchestra in Germany and one of the most illustrious in the world. On this North American tour, General Music Director and Principal Conductor Kirill Karabits – whose predecessors as Kapellmeister have included Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss and Johann Sebastian Bach – will lead the orchestra through an all-Beethoven Program featuring the Coriolan Overture, Op. 62; Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37; and Symphony No. 5, Op. 67.

Ludwig Van Beethoven Born December 16, 1770, in Bonn Died March 26, 1827, in Vienna Overture to Collin’s Coriolan, Op. 62 Much like the Colossus of Rhodes straddling the entrance to the harbor, Beethoven was a giant among composers who straddled two musical eras: one foot firmly planted in the Classical Era and the other in the Romantic. His oeuvre is generally classified into three stylistic periods. The Early Period is characterized stylistically by its adherence to Classical tenets and similarity to the compositions by his mentors Haydn and Mozart. The Middle Period works show an independent and more mature composer. The Late Period compositions date from after profound deafness had set in, and the emotionalism that characterizes the Romantic Period is clearly seen in these works.

Heinrich Josef von Collin’s Coriolan premiered on November 24, 1802 at the Vienna Hofburg Theater. The play ran for over two years, partly due to the success of Mozart’s brother-in-law, Joseph Lange, in the title role.

By the time Beethoven wrote his Overture in 1807, Collin’s tragedy was rarely performed. It is likely that the single performance of the play on April 24, 1808, used Beethoven’s Overture; in fact, the revival may have been arranged expressly for the purpose of adding Beethoven’s music.

The plot centers on the Roman general Coriolanus, who led his people to victory against the neighboring Volscians. However, Coriolanus’ contempt

10

(Continued...) 11

for the Roman plebeians turned the populace against him, and the Senate sent him into permanent exile. Coriolanus, seething with rage and self-righteous vindictiveness, went to the Volscians and led their forces to battle with his native city. He captured Rome and scorned every emissary sent to beg for mercy. At last, the Romans sent Coriolanus’ mother, his wife and young son. Coriolanus’ stern resolution withered; he gave up his thirst for revenge, and with it, his life.

In Shakespeare’s tragedy, the Volscians assassinate him for having betrayed his command; in Collin’s, he commits suicide.

The thematic significance and the concentration of thematic development of the Overture are almost beyond comparison, even for Beethoven. With the sound of the first C minor theme, Beethoven impressively captures the image of the defiant perseverance of his hero Coriolanus, a noble-minded man, wronged and rejected by his people. The heroic-tragic nature of the key of C minor is firmly established here, as it is in the Fifth Symphony (which was also completed in that same year). After the mournful beginning, the contrast of the softer E major second theme is indeed welcome. The two themes of the Overture are classic examples of the symphonic style that Beethoven formulated, the greatness of which lies in the fact that his themes contrast with, yet are attuned to, one another. The end of the Overture is brilliant: a gradual dispersing and extinguishing of the stormy first theme, an obvious announcement of death of the hero, ending as it began with octave Cs. Beethoven used this idea once before in the “Funeral March” of his “Eroica” Symphony; it is all the more remarkable that the use of the same idea here is so effective once again. © 1997 Columbia Artists Management Inc. Edited by Elizabeth Ely Torres Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37 Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor may be regarded as one of the transitional works between the composer’s first period, reflecting the Mozartian manner, and his second period, in which his individuality was more strongly asserted. With this concerto, Beethoven put his own special stamp on yet another musical form, as he instilled it with the principle of thematic development that was evident in the composer’s piano sonatas, quartets and symphonies of that period; now the concerto had ceased to be an entertainment for social gatherings, as it became a form full of unprecedented meaning and power. Consequently, several of Germany’s leading publishers rejected the work as unplayable and too unpalatable for the public taste.

The Concerto No. 3 for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 37 was completed during the summer of 1800. The work then underwent some revisions before its premiere in 1803 at an all-Beethoven concert in Vienna that also included the first two symphonies and the oratorio Christ on the Mount of Olives. Beethoven himself was the soloist for the occasion.

12

Like its predecessors, the Third Piano Concerto follows the pattern established

by Mozart by including an orchestral introduction, but in this case it is a full thematic exposition, as in a symphony. (Indeed, the music historian Sir Donald Tovey has described this concerto as a sonata for piano with orchestral accompaniment, as Beethoven broke with the practice of alternating the solo and tutti sections that had persisted since the Baroque, and attempted a more symphonic blending.) After the orchestra has had its initial say, three simple chords of octave Cs mark the entry for the soloist; after three ascending scales, the piano repeats the statement of the exposition with embellishments. The same three ascending scales begin the development section that consists of further elaboration of all the thematic material already heard, but emphasizing the first four measures of the main theme. A short trumpet and horn fanfare based on the main theme brings forth the recapitulation, which leads into the cadenza, followed in turn by a short coda.

The Largo movement is built upon a three-part (ABA) form; this is the longest and most elaborate slow movement of any Beethoven piano concerto. The soloist introduces the subject in the remote key of E major; this is repeated by the orchestra and again by the piano with ornamentation. The contrasting middle section introduces a new subject, given to a duet between bassoon and flute, with the piano soloist providing a florid, arpeggiated accompaniment.

The first subject is then repeated, leading into a brief cadenza and a coda.

The final movement is built upon an inventive rondo structure exhibiting elements of sonata form. The piano immediately presents the first half of the main theme, one of strong rhythmic power, which the oboe then takes up while the piano provides a 16th-note accompaniment against pizzicato strings; then the piano presents the second part of the main theme, which is in turn taken up by the orchestra. After a contrasting section is presented, with its own theme played by the soloist against light orchestral support, wind chords bring us back to the main recurring section, which includes a short cadenzalike passage in its center. A third contrasting section is introduced, where the clarinet intones a lyrical theme before it is taken up by the piano. After a short fugal section based on the main theme, the piano takes up this theme, this time in the major mode, but quickly returning to the original minor mode. Following the development of the second section, the main theme is heard once more before the piano plays another short cadenza, and a brilliant coda, marked Presto, brings the concerto to its conclusion. © 1994 Columbia Artists Management Inc. Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 “Keep your eye on him; he will make the world talk about him some day.” So did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart write in a letter to his father about the then-16year-old Beethoven. Indeed, Mozart’s words proved to be prophetically true, (Continued...) 13

as even during his lifetime, Beethoven’s works attained a strong – and since then, unshakable – place in the repertoire, while some of the older masters like Bach and Vivaldi, Beethoven’s younger contemporary Schubert, and even Mozart himself in some cases, had to wait for revivals of their works in order to establish their place in concert programs.

Strongest in the repertoire amongst Beethoven’s works are both the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor was heard for the first time on December 22, 1808, at an extraordinary benefit concert at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna. The program conducted by the composer included his Fourth Piano Concerto, the scena and aria Ah! perfido, excerpts from the Mass in C major, and the premiere performances of the Pastoral Symphony (No. 6) and the Choral Fantasy, Op. 80; Beethoven was also the soloist in the two piano works.

Beethoven was occupied with the composition of the Fifth Symphony at the small village of Heiligenstadt, near Vienna, in 1807, and he completed the work early the following year. It is known, however, that he had been working on his sketches for this Symphony since 1804 or even earlier, shortly after the completion of the Third Symphony.

The Fifth Symphony requires greater instrumental resources than any of Beethoven’s earlier symphonies or his next three symphonies, for that matter. In addition to the pairs of woodwinds, horns and trumpets that were commonly used at the time, this work calls for several instruments borrowed from the more colorful opera orchestra: a piccolo, a contrabassoon, and three trombones.

The organic structure of the first movement may serve to illustrate the distinction between constituent ideas and what a composer does with them. Its way of developing broad melodic spans out of brusquely unmelodic little motifs is original by any standards. Equally so is the Andante con moto’s brilliant utilization of variation form and the third movement’s dissolution of the main scherzo section into an evanescent wraith of itself after the robustness of the trio.

The first movement, Allegro con brio, is dominated by the rhythmic four-note motif that opens the work. This motif probably has wider recognition than any other theme in the history of music, being perhaps the best-known four notes in the entire concert literature. “Thus Fate knocks at the door” is the significance that Beethoven himself is quoted as having placed on this opening theme, which establishes within the first measure a mood of despair and oppression. The motif itself forms the core of this movement’s first subject, as well as providing the first two measures of the more lyrical second subject; this second subject arrives early in the proceedings, in the form of a horn-call, with the new melody taken up by the violins. Indeed, the “Fate” motif is so pervasive in this work that 14

it can be heard in almost every measure of the first movement; it also makes its appearance – albeit in modified form – in all the other movements.

Relief from the previous struggle comes with the second movement, an Andante con moto; built upon a freely varied song-form, the predominant mood here is one of consolation and meditation. As in the first movement, the mood is established with amazing technical economy within the first two measures.

Barely supported by pizzicato basses, the violas and cellos present the placid melody that constitutes the theme of the movement. This is followed by three variations, the second of which is extended in the manner of a development section, and the third that has a coda appended to conclude the movement.

The Scherzo that makes up the third movement is marked Allegro. It begins with a solemn introduction in which an ascending arpeggiated melody is heard twice in the basses. Abruptly, the horns enter with a relentless march-like theme obviously derived from the “Fate” motif heard in the first movement; soon this is taken over by the entire orchestra. After a modified repeat of the introduction, the Scherzo theme is developed further in a passage where the constantly shifting dynamics create a sense of tension and expectancy. The trio section begins with a forceful theme in the cellos and basses, followed by the bassoons and violas, and eventually, with different entrances, by the rest of the orchestra.

The short recapitulation of the Scherzo is announced by another variation of the introduction. As in the last four concertos, so in this Symphony (and again in the Sixth and Ninth) Beethoven decided to dispense with the customary break between the last two movements. Instead, we encounter a passage in the form of a coda exhibiting extraordinary breathless tension; the timpani maintains a soft inexorable rhythm under the shadowy pianissimo strings, until the last movement bursts forth exultantly.

The Allegro finale begins with a martial theme encompassing several diverse motifs. After a short transitional passage, these motifs are further elaborated before Beethoven presents his second theme, one of ascending triplets, again derived from the “Fate” motif. For all the revolutionary aspects of the first three movements, the last is in some respects the most forward-looking of the four. Two aspects of this truly majestic finale are absolutely unprecedented among the major classics. First is its instrumental coloring, as in the opening measures a piccolo, a contrabassoon, and three trombones make their first appearance in the symphonic literature. The other is the dazzlingly dramatic stroke Beethoven achieves in briefly quoting motifs from the scherzo just after the development section. After the recapitulation of the finale’s thematic material, the grandiose, extended coda is announced by a motif in the bassoons, heard immediately in the horns and passing through all the woodwinds in fugato fashion. An almost relentless pedal point on the note of C brings the symphony to its triumphant conclusion. © 2000 Columbia Artists Management Inc. (Continued...) 15

Kirill Karabits, Conductor Kirill Karabits is Chief Conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and General Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Deutsches Nationaltheater and Staatskapelle Weimar.

His relationship with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra has been celebrated worldwide and together they have made many critically acclaimed recordings, most notably a Prokofiev symphony cycle. They opened their 2015-16 season with hugely successful concert performances of Salome, and together they have made numerous appearances at the BBC Proms and returned in summer 2017 for a performance of Walton Belshazzar’s Feast.

In September 2016, Karabits assumed the position of General Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Deutsches Nationaltheater and Staatskapelle Weimar, and his first season included productions of Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg and his own transcription of St. John Passion. The 2017-18 season will see productions of Le nozze di Figaro and Tannhaeuser, plus an extensive tour of the United States with the Deutsches Nationaltheater and Staatskapelle Weimar.

Karabits has worked with many of the leading ensembles of Europe, Asia and North America, including the Cleveland, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Chicago Symphony orchestras, Philharmonia Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Filarmonica del Teatro La Fenice and the BBC Symphony Orchestra – including a concertante version of Bluebeard’s Castle at the Barbican Centre. The 2016-17 season saw his acclaimed debut with the Munich Philharmonic, and in Spring 2016, he conducted the Russian National Orchestra on their tour of the US and returned to the RNO in August 2016 to conduct two concerts at the Edinburgh International Festival, both with Mikhail Pletnev as a soloist. The 2017-18 season will include his debut with the Dresden Philharmonic at the Kulturpalast and further concerts in Moscow with the Russian National Orchestra.

The 2016-17 season saw the prolific opera conductor’s debuts at the Deutsche Oper (Boris Godunov) and Oper Stuttgart (Death in Venice). He has conducted at Glyndebourne Festival Opera (La bohème and Eugene Onegin), Staatsoper Hamburg (Madama Butterfly), English National Opera (Don Giovanni) and Bolshoi Theatre, and he conducted a performance of Der fliegende Holländer at the Wagner Geneva Festival in celebration of the composer’s anniversary.

Working with the next generation of bright musicians is of great importance to Karabits. As Artistic Director of I, CULTURE Orchestra, he conducted them on their European tour in August 2015 with Lisa Batiashvili as soloist. In 2012 and 2014, he conducted the televised finals of the BBC Young Musician of the Year Award (working with the Royal Northern Sinfonia and BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra).

16

He was named Conductor of the Year at the 2013 Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards.

Sunwook Kim, Piano Sunwook Kim came to international recognition when he won the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition in 2006, aged just 18, becoming the competition’s youngest winner for 40 years as well as its first Asian winner.

His performance of Brahms’ Concerto No.1 with the Hallé Orchestra and Sir Mark Elder in the competition’s finals attracted unanimous praise from the press.

Since then, he has established a reputation as one of the finest pianists of his generation, appearing as a concerto soloist in the subscription series of some of the world’s leading orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Berlin Radio Symphony, NDR Sinfonieorchester Hamburg, Finnish Radio Symphony, Philharmonia Orchestra, London Philharmonic, Radio-France Philharmonic, NHK Symphony, Hallé Orchestra, and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra for his BBC Proms debut in Summer 2014.

Born in Seoul in 1988, he graduated from the Korean National University of Arts in February 2008 and then completed an MA in conducting at the Royal Academy of Music. Besides Leeds, international awards include the first prize at the 2004 Ettlingen Competition (Germany) and the 2005 Clara Haskil Competition (Switzerland). In 2013, Sunwook was selected by the BeethovenHaus Bonn to become the first beneficiary of its new Mentoring Programme.

In 2014-15 he completed a highly acclaimed residency with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and returns there this season for a performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1st Concerto. At the start of last season, they gave a six-concert tour together with Rachmaninov’s Concerto No. 3 and recorded Brahms’ Piano Concertos No. 1 and 2 for release next year on the Hallé’s own label. Other concerto highlights included a performance of Unsuk Chin’s Piano Concerto with the Radio-France Philharmonic at the prestigious Festival d’Automne in Paris, and debut projects with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Hamburger Symphoniker, Opera di Roma and Hong Kong Sinfonietta.

Recital highlights to date include regular appearances in the “Piano 4 Etoiles” series at Salle Pleyel in Paris, as well as recitals at the Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival, Piano aux Jacobin Festival, Wigmore Hall, the London International Piano Series (Queen Elizabeth Hall), Stockholm Konserthuset, Teatro Colon Buenos Aires, La Roque d’Antheron International Piano Festival in France, Kioi Hall in Tokyo, Symphony Hall Osaka, Brussels Klara Festival, Beethoven-Haus Bonn, Klavier-Festival Ruhr and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festspiele. In 2012-13, he presented a complete cycle of the Beethoven Sonatas at the LG Arts Centre in Seoul. Last season Sunwook made his debut with the RTSI Orchestra in Lugano, the Gurzenich-Orchester Kölner Philharmoniker (Continued...) 17

and the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse for a performance of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto.

In 2017-18, recital highlights will include performances at the Wigmore Hall and Leeds Piano Festival, as well as concerto appearances with the Hallé, Philharmonia, BBC Concert, Bournemouth, Dresden Philharmonic, Royal Scottish National and Seoul Philharmonic Orchestras. Other highlights include duo recitals with Jian Wang in Korea and Guy Braunstein in Berlin and a tour of the United States with the Staatskapelle Weimar with Kirill Karabits.

Sunwook Kim’s debut recital disc was released on the Accentus label in October 2015, featuring Beethoven’s Waldstein and Hammerklavier sonatas.

This was followed by a recording of Franck’s Prelude, Choral et Fugue paired with Brahms’ Sonata No. 3 and a further disc of Beethoven: Sonata No. 8, “Pathetique”; Sonata No. 14, “Moonlight”; and Sonata No. 23, “Appassionata.” His discography also includes two concerto recordings, both on Deutsche Grammophon and with the Seoul Philharmonic conducted by Myung-Whun Chung: a CD featuring Unsuk Chin’s Piano Concerto (2014), which attracted outstanding reviews and awards from BBC Music Magazine and International Classical Music Awards, and a CD featuring Beethoven Concerto No. 5 (2013).

Despite their youth, you could say Nick Ziobro and Julia Goodwin have lived parallel lives.

“We’re basically brother and sister,” says Goodwin, a sophomore at Syracuse University in New York. “It’s really easy to see the connection that we have on stage.”

The two grew up outside Syracuse and met as middle-schoolers acting in community theater.

Fast forward several years, and the 21-year-old Ziobro and the 19-year-old Goodwin are widely known performers, sometimes as a duo simply dubbed Nick & Julia. Both have released albums as vocalists, competed on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, appeared at such venues as Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center, and won praise from the New York Times, to name a few accomplishments.

What happened in between was the Great American Songbook Foundation’s annual Songbook Academy® summer intensive, which brings 40 of the nation’s top high school vocalists to central Indiana for a week of immersion in the history, interpretation and performance of timeless popular music. Each of them, Ziobro in 2012 and Goodwin in 2013, attended the Academy and claimed the title of Songbook Youth Ambassador, along with a national career launch under

the wing of acclaimed performer, preservationist and Songbook Foundation Founder Michael Feinstein.

On April 21, these young talents will reunite with their mentor at the Palladium to share an evening of the music they have come to love. Since their initial visits for the Academy, the two have built a bond with local audiences through several appearances at the Center for the Performing Arts.

“It kind of feels like home, coming back,” says Ziobro, freshly graduated from Rider University and now busily auditioning for musical theater roles in New York City. “We just want to show everyone how much we’ve grown and how much we appreciate everything that we have experienced down there.”

Feinstein also looks forward to the night and expresses more than a little pride in his protégés.

“It’s a great joy to have played a small part in helping to bring their talents to the fore,” says the fivetime Grammy® nominee. “Nick is a naturally gifted musician, with perfect pitch and amazing instincts. He can sing any kind of music and inhabit it with a depth and understanding that belie his youth. Julia has charisma, talent, beauty and charm and is a songwriter as well. Her work ethic (Continued...) 27

is extraordinary, and she has a voice that touches the soul.”

she would probably win, and she did, and here we are.”

Ziobro began piano lessons in second grade and discovered the Songbook catalog around age 11, when a jazz pianist became his new teacher.

Goodwin was less familiar with the music of the Songbook, but as she attended the Academy, she fell hard. What did she find so compelling?

“He said, ‘Hey, I’m going to show you how to make some money in college,’ and he opened up a book of jazz standards,” Ziobro says.

“He said, ‘If you can play and sing these at a bar when you’re trying to make some money in college, this will definitely help you out, because everybody loves this music.’”

“I think just the storytelling quality that each song has,” she says.

“Each song, you’re able to really put yourself into it and help the audience connect with the story, and it’s cool to see that connection.”

The teen began singing at his teacher’s gigs, caught a Feinstein performance in Syracuse and, as a high school sophomore, applied for admission to the Songbook Academy.

“I just wanted an opportunity to meet Michael,” he says. “I didn’t think I’d win.”

Ziobro came out on top, however, and he hit the road with Feinstein that summer. Upon his New York club debut at age 16, both the Times and the Huffington Post compared him to crooner Michael Bublé.

He encouraged Goodwin to follow his lead.

“I had a blast, and I just wanted Julia to have that same experience,” he recalls. “I told her 28

After winning the Youth Ambassador title, Goodwin began her own whirlwind of high-profile concerts and TV appearances, including the launch of Nick & Julia as a duo.

The two have performed together at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the legendary Birdland nightclub as well as Feinstein’s/54 Below in Manhattan. Italian billionaire Nicola Bulgari flew them to Tuscany to perform at a daughter’s birthday party.

“We’ve just made a really good team,” Ziobro says. “We do everything from Cole Porter to Carole King and Billy Joel. It’s something that is always growing and expanding.”

“We’ve been able to travel a lot of places,” Goodwin says. “It’s really awesome.”

While learning the business side of

entertainment as a Music Industry major, Goodwin is building her reputation as a singer-songwriter, composing jazz-influenced pop tunes on guitar and piano.

“The Great American Songbook has definitely influenced my writing,” she says. “I’m just really inspired by the way that these songwriters used to write, and so I look at people like Cole Porter and Johnny Mercer and Irving Berlin, and I hope that I can tell stories in my songs just like they did.”

Likewise, Ziobro finds particular inspiration in learning the personal backgrounds of legendary songwriters, a trait he picked up from Feinstein.

“He’s always interested in finding out the history of the writers of the songs and what they were doing when they wrote,” Ziobro says. “A Cole Porter song, there is so much personality and personal depth that he put into his music that is a completely different story than the Gershwin brothers and their music, which is also different from a Frank Lester song or a Johnny Mercer song.”

actor,” he says, “so I can continue to perform and share this music, whether it’s in concert or on a Broadway stage, performing a classic musical or even a new musical with music that is also going to be part of the Great American Songbook in another 50 years.”

He hopes others of his generation also will pick up the torch.

“The Songbook Academy has continued to grow since I was a part of it, and there are still so many young people who are interested in finding out about this music and sharing it and performing it and loving it as much as Julia and I do,” Ziobro says.

“And that’s all a credit to Michael, because that’s really the only way this music is going to live on, is if people my age are appreciating it.”

These singers, dancers and musicians champion the proud tradition of Celtic music and culture. Celtic Nights’ new production, Oceans of Hope: The Epic Journeys of Our Ancestors, captures the essence of the immigrant experience, exploring the saga – through Irish eyes – of all people who have braved the sea to build lives free from hunger, war, persecution and famine in the new lands of North America, Australia and New Zealand.

For over two decades, this "little orchestra" of a dozen musicians and vocalists has delighted audiences around the world with its multilingual mix of jazz, classical and old-school pop music. Led by pianist-founder Thomas Lauderdale and vocalist China Forbes, the Portland-based band has collaborated and performed with artists as diverse as Carol Channing, Rufus Wainwright, filmmaker Gus Van Sant, NPR host Ari Shapiro and the cast of Sesame Street.

Pink Martini’s ninth and latest studio album, Je dis oui!, features 15 tracks spanning eight languages.
