A SPECIAL ISSUE OF APPLAUSE We appreciate your support of the Center for the Performing Arts as we explore bold new programming initiatives while continuing to schedule the 2020-2021 Center Presents Season sponsored by Allied Solutions.

As noted in our previous email to subscribers, because of continuing public health concerns and the resulting slowdown in the broader concert industry, the Center is delaying the start of the Center Presents performance season until early 2021. An initial schedule and on-sale dates will be announced in January. Several concerts rescheduled for this fall will be moved to future dates, and ticketholders will be contacted to explore their options.

The new season will not be organized into traditional subscription packages, and venue capacity will be substantially reduced to allow physical distancing. Still, subscribers from the 2019-2020 season will maintain their subscriber status and benefits this season, including ticket discounts, presale access and priority seating.

Though some seats might not be available for every performance, we will do our best to honor your preferences.

Meanwhile, we continue to fulfill our mission with a substantial schedule of small-scale events, Resident Company performances, educational programming and online offerings. We’re excited to connect with wider and more diverse audiences through new livestreaming initiatives and digital adaptations of popular programs.

The Center’s education and enrichment programs for all ages – such as Faegre Drinker Peanut Butter & Jam family concerts, KAR Front Seat artist Q&As, Palladium Bookies book club and the Luminaries speaker series – are continuing, whether onsite, online or in some combination of the two. Through Zoom teleconferencing, we are expanding the Classics in Context discussion series and launching a new JazzTalk series. Also new this fall is a livestreamed performance series, Live at the Center, 4

featuring top local and regional artists. The Center continues to share news as well as online arts and entertainment opportunities through the weekly Interlude e-newsletter.

Meanwhile, many onsite events are scheduled in the Center’s venues through December, including performances by the resident Carmel Symphony Orchestra, Civic Theatre, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre and Indiana Wind Symphony. For these events, the Center has developed an extensive set of protocols to enhance health and safety in our venues, including requirements for face coverings and physical distancing. More details on our COVID-19 policies are available on our website, TheCenterPresents.org.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Patron Services staff at Tickets@TheCenterPresents.org or by phone at (317) 843-3800 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

We hope you enjoy our upcoming programming, and we look forward to sharing more information about the Center Presents season in January. Thank you again for your support.

PERFORMING ARTS CONNECT: SONGWRITING 101: KACEY MUSGRAVES STYLE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10 AT 7PM ET | THE PALLADIUM Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard described country music as “three chords and the truth,” and many songwriters use humor to address some of life’s most difficult truths. In this introductory workshop, museum educator and professional musician Adam Ollendorff will teach the fundamentals of songwriting, including form, theme and rhyme scheme.

Using Zoom’s chat function, participants will share ideas and write an original song inspired by Kacey Musgraves’ comedic song, “Family Is Family,” written by Musgraves, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.

Ollendorff has toured with Musgraves, performed with Willie Nelson, and written songs with Natalie Hemby and Maren Morris. The session is presented in support of the exhibit Kacey Musgraves: All of the Colors.

CLASSICS IN CONTEXT: BEETHOVEN AND THE BASS CONNECTION WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11 AT 7PM ET | ONLINE Celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday with a presentation by internationally recognized principal bassist David Murray.

Professor Murray will explore the relationship between Beethoven and virtuoso bassist Domenico Dragonetti. Though not close friends, they did play one of Beethoven’s cello sonatas together, and the fourth movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony begins with a recitative for cello and bass – which is said to have been played solo at the premiere by Dragonetti!

Murray also will provide a general analysis of the Ninth Symphony and discuss Beethoven’s symphonic development leading up to the celebrated composition. As a bonus, Murray will perform an excerpt of the recitative on his bass.

LIVE AT THE CENTER: CARMICHAEL THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 AT 7:30PM ET | ONLINE Carmichael founders and chief songwriters Eric Carmichael and Nick Christie describe their music as the “Marion Sound,” inspired by “a landlocked world of car dealerships, high school basketball games, and empty lots…steeped in rich and harmonious melody, shimmery spring reverb, stereo classic-rock vibe, some move and some groove, and the occasional dual guitar solo for pomp and flare.” Rounding out the lineup are drummer Costin Ritter and keyboardist Jamie Mahan.

JAZZTALK: TRAIL BLAZERS MONDAY, DECEMBER 8 AT 7PM ET | ONLINE In every genre of music, there are those who redefine the genre and even go beyond to influence others outside of their discipline. We may refer to these individuals as “trailblazers.” Trailblazers in jazz include clarinetist-saxophonist Sidney Bechet, trumpeter Miles Davis, pianist Dave Brubeck and drummer Elvin Jones. The discussion will explore why these artists’ contributions were so pivotal in the development of jazz, how their influence extended to other musicians and other forms of expression, and how today’s artists approach jazz performance differently because of their influence.

LEGACY SOCIETY The Legacy Society recognizes and thanks dedicated individuals who are leaving a future legacy to the Center for the Performing Arts. Through their generosity, these individuals have demonstrated their commitment to the future of the Center and the health of the arts community for Central Indiana.

Cheri & Rollie Dick Jeffrey C. McDermott Susan Springirth

BRIDGE CAMPAIGN We hold steadfast that the arts are key to bringing joy, beauty, hope, laughter, education, entertainment and economic development in good times and in more trying times alike. In the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, the Center for the Performing Arts faces unique obstacles, and among those are financial concerns.

And yet, our mission continues – perhaps more important than ever, in fact – but through new forms of delivery, media and outreach to the community.

Established to ensure the Center for the Performing Arts continues its mission to Central Indiana in spite of the Covid-19 crisis, these donors gave generously to the Bridge Campaign. And for that, a grateful community says thank you.
