| | Hubbard Street Dance Chicago | | | Dates: | Tuesday, February 02, 2016 | | Title: | Hubbard Street Dance Chicago | | Description: | “If variety is the spice of life, then Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is one of the spiciest—not to mention liveliest—companies around,” asserts a New York Post reviewer. Celebrating thirty-eight years as one of the most original forces in contemporary dance, Hubbard Street has long been known for its exceptionally talented dancers and a diverse repertoire of adventurous choreography. Hubbard Street’s eighteen dancers display unparalleled versatility and virtuosity. The troupe transcends preconceptions by juxtaposing works inspired by a variety of genres, including jazz, modern, ballet, and theatrical. Under the artistic direction of Glenn Edgerton, the company is at the top of its game. One of the only American dance companies to operate year-round, Hubbard Street produces bold and passionate performances in the Windy City, across the United States, and abroad. “Take a deep breath,” a Washington Post critic advises, “because Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is going to take your breath away.”
The Penn State program features Out of Keeping, a new work choreographed by Hubbard Street dancer Penny Saunders to music by Ólafur Arnalds, Hilary Hahn, and Volker Bertelmann (who mostly performs and records under the name Hauschka); N.N.N.N., choreographed by William Forsythe to music by Thom Willems; an excerpt of Second to Last, created by Hubbard Street resident choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo to music by Arvo Pärt; and Gnawa, choreographed by Nacho Duato to music by various composers. | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://cpa.psu.edu/events/hubbard-street-dance-chi |

| | Billy Childs | | | Dates: | Friday, February 05, 2016 | | Title: | Billy Childs | | Description: | Pianist and composer Billy Childs received a 2015 Grammy nomination for best jazz vocal album for his Map to the Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Nyro died before her 50th birthday. But the Bronx-born singer, songwriter, and pianist—whose soulful music was recorded by artists such as Barbra Streisand, The Fifth Dimension, and Three Dog Night—had a significant influence on an array of music makers who followed her. Childs, who’s earned four Grammys and a Guggenheim Fellowship, makes his Center for the Performing Arts debut in a concert featuring music from the Nyro album, which included guest artists Yo-Yo Ma, Esperanza Spalding, Alison Krauss, Shawn Colvin, Chris Botti, Becca Stevens, and others. Stevens, a “Björk-meets-Joni [Mitchell] singer-songwriter” (jazzwisemagazine.com) who performed with pianist Taylor Eigsti in 2010 at Schwab, and Alicia Olatuja, who dazzled millions with her solo during the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s rendition of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” at the 2013 presidential inauguration, join Childs for the Schwab Auditorium performance.

| | VOCES8 | | | Dates: | Thursday, February 11, 2016 | | Title: | VOCES8 | | Description: | “A perfect blend of calm contentment and soaring spirit” (London’s The Independent), VOCES8 makes its Penn State debut in an acoustic choral program. Formed in 2003 by former Westminster Abbey choristers, the British octet performs works ranging from Renaissance polyphony to modern jazz and pop arrangements. “The singing of VOCES8 is impeccable in its quality of tone and balance,” writes a Gramophone reviewer. “They bring a new dimension to the word ‘ensemble’ with meticulous timing and tuning.” Touring extensively throughout Europe, North America, and Asia, VOCES8 has performed at prominent venues such as London’s Wigmore Hall, St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre Concert Hall, Tel Aviv Opera House, and Shanghai Concert Hall. The ensemble has also appeared with the Philharmonia and London Philharmonic orchestras. Eventide, the group’s 2014 release on Decca Classics, was number one on the United Kingdom classical charts for two weeks. Previous releases on Signum Classics include A Choral Tapestry, Bach Motets, Aces High, Christmas, and A Purcell Collection. In 2013, VOCES8 was nominated for seven Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards, winning for best classical album and best classical song. “‘Radiant’ and ‘luminous’ are adjectives that are perhaps overused in describing choral sound,” a critic for All Music observes, “but in this case they are fully deserved.” | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://cpa.psu.edu/events/voces8 |

| | Windscape | | | Dates: | Thursday, February 18, 2016 | | Title: | Windscape | | Description: | “For many, the names of the players who make up the woodwind quintet Windscape will have a certain aura—that of the fabulously skilled, much sought-after, and usually footloose New York musician who can tackle anything—repeat, anything,” insists a Boston Globe writer. Created in 1994 by eminent woodwind soloists, Windscape has earned a prominent place for itself as a vibrant, ever-evolving group of musical individualists. The players, who are artists-in-residence at the Manhattan School of Music, even like to call themselves an “unquintet.” The group delights audiences across North America with its novel programs and accompanying presentations, each devised to take listeners on a musical and historical tour evoking cultural landscapes of distant times and places. In its Penn State premiere, Windscape performs an East-meets-West program titled A Floating World: Japan and the Impressionists.
The program features works by composers familiar to Western ears—Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Olivier Messaien—paired with music by Japanese composers Michio Miyagi and Toru Takemitsu. The musicians perform before projected images of paintings and prints by artists from Europe and Japan. Works by Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Vincent Van Gogh, and others are juxtaposed—often thematically—with pieces by Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Ando Hiroshige, Kitao Shigemasa, Suzuki Harunobu, Kitagawa Utamaro, Mizuno Toshikata, and others. | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://cpa.psu.edu/events/windscape |

| | globalFEST on the Road Creole Carnival | | | Dates: | Thursday, February 25, 2016 | | Title: | globalFEST on the Road Creole Carnival | | Description: | Creole Carnival begins with the foundations of African music, adds a fusion of sounds from the Americas, and wraps it in the pre-Lenten festival celebrated globally as a favorite excuse to party. From Brazil (samba band Casuarina)—the superpower of Carnival celebration—to Haiti (inspirational singer-songwriter Emeline Michel) to Jamaica (soulful blues singer-guitarist Brushy One-String), Creole Carnival demonstrates how each country has its own fertile traditions of music, dancing, costumes, and cutting loose. globalFEST’s international trio of artists explore, expand, and upend notions of Carnival without losing sight of where magic and religious fervor intersect with soiree. During the last decade, globalFEST has grown from a New York City festival/showcase into a nonprofit service organization for curators, artists, and the performing arts field. globalFEST on the Road takes creatively programmed artist lineups to venues throughout the United States.

| | Russian National Orchestra | | | Dates: | Thursday, March 03, 2016 | | Title: | Russian National Orchestra | | Description: | A Los Angeles Times critic calls the Russian National Orchestra, performing at Penn State as part of its twenty-fifth anniversary tour, “one of the world’s great ensembles.” Led since its inception by Artistic Director Mikhail Pletnev, the orchestra is unique among the principal Russian ensembles because it is a private institution funded by individuals, corporations, and foundations. The ensemble, which in 2004 became the first Russian orchestra to earn a Grammy Award, has recorded more than eighty albums and tours throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Ukrainian Kirill Karabits, “an energizing presence on the podium” (The Telegraph of London), guest conducts the orchestra. The United Kingdom’s Royal Philharmonic Society named Karabits conductor of the year in 2013. Stefan Jackiw joins the orchestra to perform Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64. Jackiw, who made his Carnegie Hall debut last season, combines poetry and impeccable technique. “When he plays, it is not all about him, or all about the violin—it is all about the music,” a Boston Globe critic asserts. “He knows what he wants to do with every phrase, and some of it is marked by heart-stopping purity of intent.” The violinist, born in Massachusetts to physicist parents of Korean and German descent, has appeared as a soloist with the symphony orchestras of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. His playing, writes a reviewer for The Globe and Mail of Toronto, is “as pure and close to perfection as music can get.” The orchestra program also includes Alexander Glazunov’s Prelude to the Suite From the Middle Ages and Pletnev’s arrangement of Sergei Prokofiev’s Suite from Romeo and Juliet. | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://cpa.psu.edu/events/russian-national-orchest |

Miller (aka DJ Spooky). Revered in the hip-hop world as a master turntablist, Miller is a sonic artist who hears music in almost everything—from visual forms and economic theory to the great outdoors. In 2007 and 2008, Miller undertook two expeditions to Antarctica to shoot a film and create an acoustic portrait of the rapidly changing continent. That led to his celebrated 2011 publication The Book of Ice and his 2013 album Of Water and Ice. Sponsored by the Sierra Club, Miller traveled to the Arctic Circle in 2014 and came away with the inspiration for another volume of music, Arctic Rhythms. Accompanied at Eisenhower Auditorium by a Penn State School of Music graduate student string quartet, Miller creates an evocative multimedia trip through the Arctic landscape. He juxtaposes images with live and recorded hip-hop, electronic, and minimalist music to create a unique experience. Miller has previously collaborated with an array of musicians, including Metallica, Chuck D, Steve Reich, and Yoko Ono. MIT Press published his award-winning book Rhythm Science in 2004. The Village Voice, The Source, and Artforum have featured his writing, and he’s the editor of Origin Magazine.

| | Moscow Festival Ballet The Sleeping Beauty | | | Dates: | Thursday, March 31, 2016 | | Title: | Moscow Festival Ballet The Sleeping Beauty | | Description: | The Sleeping Beauty, a crowning jewel in the career of choreographer Marius Petipa, is often called the finest achievement of classical ballet. The three-act ballet, which premiered in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1890, moves to a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and takes inspiration from a well-known fairy tale by Charles Perrault. An evil fairy condemns a baby princess to prick her finger and die on her sixteenth birthday. But the Lilac Fairy saves the child by declaring the injury will merely put the princess to sleep until awakened by a prince’s kiss. The Sleeping Beauty is replete with a king and a queen, good and bad fairies, a beautiful princess and a dreamy prince, magical stage effects, courtly splendor, and a storybook kingdom from the realm of the imagination. Moscow Festival Ballet, created in 1989 by Bolshoi Ballet principal dancer Sergei Radchenko, recruits leading dancers from throughout Russia. The company, with Radchenko as artistic director, has toured extensively in Europe and the Far East. This tour of The Sleeping Beauty marks the troupe’s seventh visit to the United States. The company performed Swan Lake at Eisenhower in 2014. | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://cpa.psu.edu/events/moscow-festival-ballet |

| | The Big Friendly Giant | | | Dates: | Friday, April 08, 2016 | | Title: | The Big Friendly Giant | | Description: | In the much-beloved tradition of Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda), we join two misfits on an unforgettable odyssey. For a young orphan “human bean,” the sight of a giant outside her window is terrifying. She fears for her life when he whisks her away to an enchanted land. But this Big Friendly Giant is not like other giants. The job of this larger-than-life vegetarian is to blow magical dreams into children’s bedrooms. Together, they embark on a quest to save England from the “gizzard-gulping” giants who lack the BFG’s tender heart. The cheeky BFG ultimately shows that heroes can come in all sizes. Humongous on humor and large on laughs, the story of the BFG was Dahl’s personal favorite. On stage, his wacky tale comes to life with puppets and people creating a fantastical world of towering giants and magical adventures. | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://cpa.psu.edu/events/bfg-big-friendly-giant |

The Breast Cancer Voucher Program assists area women who are patients of the Breast Cancer & Women’s Health Institute (BCWHI) who have breast cancer and who are uninsured or underinsured by providing financial support.
Women battling breast cancer and their families are profoundly affected by this disease and deal with many stressors. Among them are financial stressors.
Costs associated with breast cancer care and recovery are numerous and significant. There are costs for direct medical care, transportation costs associated with cancer treatments, expenses for medical supplies and other items such as wigs and prosthetic bras. Women who are underinsured or who do not have health insurance often find themselves with mounting expenses intensifying an already stressful experience. Additionally, the process of cancer treatment and recovery is typically lengthy keeping working women away from their jobs which can significantly reduce a family’s income.

| | Celebration of Smiles | | | Dates: | Saturday, April 09, 2016 | | Title: | Celebration of Smiles | | Description: | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER HOLDS ANNUAL “CELEBRATION OF SMILES DAY” PROMOTION TO BENEFIT PPA CHARITIES/OPERATION SMILE
Ebensburg, PA -On April 9th, 2016 from 1-4pm, local photographer Claire Houser of Claire Terese Photography will join with PPA Charities (the philanthropic arm of the Professional Photographers of America) to promote “Celebration of Smiles Day.” This national fundraising event will benefit Operation Smile, which treats children around the world who suffer with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
On April 9th from 1pm to 4pm Claire Terese Photography will offer the gift of an individual portrait mini session and a 5x7 portrait in exchange for a minimum $24 donation to Operation Smile. This donation represents one tenth of the $240 needed to help fund a single cleft palate surgery. “Celebration of Smiles Day is the perfect opportunity to have your portrait taken or that of a loved one, because in doing so you are making it possible to truly change the lives of children who would otherwise face a lifetime of pain and rejection.” Said Michigan based photographer and President of Professional Photographers of America, Michael Timmons.
Founded in 1982, Operation Smile is a worldwide children’s medical charity dedicated to helping children and young adults born with facial deformities. In as little as 45 minutes, one cleft lip surgery can change a child’s life forever. Every three minutes a child somewhere in the world is born with a facial deformity. One in ten will not survive to see their first birthday. Those who do survive often live in isolation and pain. Each year, more than 100,000 children are born with a facial deformity in Operation Smile’s 26 partner countries. Tens of thousands remain untreated.
Claire Houser, Owner of Claire Terese Photography has received numerous awards and has been honored nationally for her work with PPA Charities. This will be Claire’s fourth year of participation in this celebration. "Walk ins" for a brief photo session with all proceeds benefiting Operation Smiles are welcome on this day from 1-4pm. “It’s a great cause that benefits something I’m passionate about, smiles. It’s a fun day, a whirlwind four hours of capturing great smiles.” Claire also hopes that area business’s will partner with her in the PPA Charities Matching Event. “It’s a great “gift in kind” opportunity for business’ wishing to provide a photo session for their employees. It’s an event that everyone can get involved with and positively affect the lives of children throughout our community and world.”
Celebration of Smiles event will take place at Claire Terese Photography, 109 S. Center Street, Ebensburg, PA 15931, Saturday, April 9th from 1pm-4pm. For more details and questions contact Claire. | | Times: | 1:00PM - 4:00PM | | Link: | www.claireteresephotography.com |

| | Maria Schneider Orchestra | | | Dates: | Thursday, April 14, 2016 | | Title: | Maria Schneider Orchestra | | Description: | It’s been almost a decade since the Maria Schneider Orchestra first performed at Penn State in a concert featuring a work co-commissioned by the Center for the Performing Arts. Now, the orchestra returns to Eisenhower Auditorium in a concert featuring the world premiere of another Center for the Performing Arts co-commission. “Maria Schneider’s orchestral jazz is about feeling. Like Wayne Shorter, she somehow expresses compassion through tones,” writes a New York Times reviewer. The Jazz Journalists Association and the Down Beat critics poll named her Concert in the Garden and Sky Blue, in turn, “jazz album of the year.” Schneider, who ignores genre boundaries, and her band have been nominated for ten Grammys and have won three. Organizations as diverse as the Monterey Jazz and American Dance festivals, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and Kronos Quartet have commissioned her to create music. “To call Schneider the most important woman in jazz is missing the point two ways,” insists a critic for Time. “She’s a major composer—period.” | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://cpa.psu.edu/events/maria-schneider-orchestr |

| | Compagnia Finzi Pasca presents La Verita | | | Dates: | Thursday, April 21, 2016 | | Title: | Compagnia Finzi Pasca presents La Verita | | Description: | La Verità, a creation by Daniele Finzi Pasca, is a theatrical homage to the surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. The contemporary circus work features a certified replica of a backdrop Dalí painted in 1944. Originally created for the ballet Tristan and Isolde at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, the backdrop is a stunning focal point for this production by the creator of Cirque Éloize’s Rain, Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo, and his own company’s Donka: A Letter to Chekhov. La Verità, which features music by Maria Bonzanigo, includes a versatile cast of twelve performers who play instruments, sing, juggle, contort, clown, and dance the can-can. Channeling the surrealist vision of Dalí, themes explode into other themes. Ideas in the mind jostle and form themselves into images of blindfolded characters, hands with unnaturally long fingers, shadows that deform proportions, red blood, yellow flowers, the blue of the Virgin Mary’s cloak, the color white, ladders suspended in empty space, impossible balances, dismantled corpses, and colliding feathers and sequins. It’s as if the story takes place in a decadent Vaudeville. “La Verità delights through performances tinged with sheer beauty and offbeat humor,” writes a critic for Le Journal de Montréal. “Like a daydream … the acts are mesmerizingly beautiful.” | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://cpa.psu.edu/events/compagnia-finzi-pasca |

The only problem is that their families have been bitterly feuding for so many years that they aren't even sure what they're feuding about. But true love, hillbilly style, prevails in the end when a surprising wedding takes place on top of Shaky Spears Hill.

| | National Purple Heart Run | | | Dates: | Tuesday, May 03, 2016 | | Title: | National Purple Heart Run | | Description: | Combat Wounded, Disabled Veteran to Crisscross the Nation in specially adapted Ford
F-150, to bring awareness of the costs of freedom.
There are an estimated 1.8 million Purple Heart recipients, combat wounded service members who have transitioned back into civilian life. They have made great sacrifices to ensure our freedoms but often go unrecognized. The road to recovery and reintegration into their communities can be a long and difficult struggle for our nation’s wounded warriors and their families.
The focus of the 2016 “Purple Heart Run” will be “Mobility is Freedom.” Sponsored jointly by the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) and Wounded Warriors Family Support (WWFS), the Purple Heart Run features a mobility-equipped, 2015 Ford F-150 Super Cab truck, adapted to suit combat-wounded veterans who are paralyzed or have lost legs or arms. Our belief is that, given the right vehicle for mobility, a combat-wounded veteran will have the freedom to live a productive and quality life with his or her family.
Driven by LCpl Tyler Huffman, a combat wounded and paralyzed veteran of the war in Afghanistan, and Joe Tidwell, a combat wounded and disabled veteran of the Vietnam War, the Purple Heart Run Ford F-150 truck will make its way from coast-to-coast and back, rallying communities to thank our country’s military veterans and support this great mission. The Purple Heart Run will begin in Mt. Vernon, VA, on May 2, traverse the nation to California and return to end in Washington DC on Memorial Day, May 30, 2016.
Along the way, the Purple Heart Truck will stop to visit with local MOPH Chapters and Purple Heart entities. Locally the Purple Heart Truck will stop:
May 3, 2016 from 3-4 PM at the Flight 93 National Memorial (Shanksville, PA)
Please come in uniform if possible, or wear purple to show your support. For more information contact Wanda Ickes, 814-505-2926 or wanda.ickes@rocketmail.com, Welfare Officer of the Local 992 Chapter (Forbes Road Charter) of the Military Order of the Purple Heart.
At each stop they will deliver Combat Wounded Parking Signs, free of charge, to any interested entity as a way for them to honor and recognize these veterans. Already, the response to placing the signs has been tremendous. From coast to coast, the signs have been placed in the parking lots of businesses, restaurants, churches, schools and colleges, government buildings, medical facilities, and sports venues. Americans of all walks of life are invited and encouraged to show their support for our military families by visiting an event on the tour as a means of showing their support for our country’s veterans and their families.
In a special ceremony at the conclusion of the Purple Heart Run, the keys to the truck will be presented to Purple Heart recipient Nicholas Thom of Broad Run, Virginia, who was chosen from a nation-wide search of eligible and deserving nominees. In Feb. 2010, Patriot Thom was wounded while his unit was clearing Afghan villages of Taliban fighters. Nick was blown up by a command detonated I.E.D., losing both his legs from above the knees, 3 fingers, and suffered severe soft tissue damage to his forearms.
We need your help to allow us to continue to serve our nation’s veterans and their families. Every donation, large or small, is deeply appreciated and helps us meet our goal of making a normal transition back to civilian life a reality for many deserving veterans and their families. Partnership opportunities are available for companies and organizations of all kinds, and your financial support of the Purple Heart Run goes directly to the support and rehabilitation of deserving wounded warriors. By partnering with either the Wounded Warriors Family Support (WWFS or the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) Foundations, you would be showing your support for wounded veterans and their families as well as our country’s active and retired military and their families around the world. Through our partnership, you would be making a real, tangible difference that will change the lives of deserving wounded warriors and their families.
The mission of Wounded Warrior Family Support (WWFS) is to provide support to the families of those who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations. The families of our casualties suffer in many ways: some financially, some psychologically. The overwhelming stress of the recovery process can threaten to tear a family apart. Their programs include:
The Family Retreat program provides vacation retreats, free of charge, for wounded veterans to have the opportunity to decompress in a peaceful, non-stress environment, and share in positive experiences with their spouses and children, strengthening the bonds of their families and making lasting memories. The Caregiver Respite Programs provide respite and supplemental services nationwide to the caregivers and families of wounded war veterans. Oftentimes caregivers are spouses or family members who have many other responsibilities, such as work, managing bills and taking care of children. Caregivers of veterans often spend long hours caring for their loved one, feel high levels of stress and neglect their own personal health. The Respite Services Programs provide secondary caregiver assistance, respite aid for remote areas and short-term temporary relief in the form of child care and other services. The program also assists the caregiver in enrolling in the Department of Veterans Affairs Caregiver Support Services and other agencies offering resources and support. The “Mobility is Freedom” program provides grants to qualified combat-wounded for the purchase of a Ford vehicle, specially adapted to suit combat-wounded veterans who are paralyzed or have lost legs or arms
The Military Order of the Purple Heart provides emotional, physical, educational and financial support for wounded and disabled veterans and their families, to help improve their lives. Programs include suicide prevention, support for veterans with brain injuries, counseling for Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) and assistance for women's health issues – all common challenges for veterans. The Purple Heart Service Foundation provides scholarships, family assistance, claims assistance and employment training. Family members also get support, learning how to help disabled veterans to cope with their physical, emotional and behavioral challenges.

www.upjarts.org
Over 30 years ago, the Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.
No matter who or what is in the headlines, you can bet the Capitol Steps will tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish. What more would you expect from the group that puts the "MOCK" in Democracy?!

However, the Florida-based chain of authentic Southern barbecue restaurants had been previously untested in the Northeast. The Dilberian’s new location would mark one of Woody’s first franchises in the U.S. north of the Mason-Dixon line. Fortunately, the couple took a gamble and won. Immediately after opening and in all the years since, Woody’s Bar-B-Q of Huntingdon has continued to receive a warm reception from the community as its number of regular patrons rises. To commemorate a fabulous first five years of service to the Huntingdon community, the owners plan to host a celebration from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. on Monday, May 16 – complete with spare rib eating contest, raffles and giveaways, food and drink specials, and more.
Located at 7620 Lake Raystown Shopping Center, Woody’s Bar-B-Q of Huntingdon features an extensive menu of Woody’s Signature slow cooked meats and made-from-scratch sides, as well as a full bar, big screen TVs and classic rock on the sound system.

| | Sphinx Virtuosi Latin Voyage | | | Dates: | Thursday, September 29, 2016 | | Title: | Sphinx Virtuosi Latin Voyage | | Description: | Sphinx Virtuosi, one of the nation’s most dynamic professional orchestras, consists of eighteen classical soloists. The musicians are alumni of Detroit’s internationally acclaimed Sphinx Competition, which provides educational and performance opportunities to Black and Latino musicians. The orchestra’s Carnegie Hall premiere earned rave reviews. The performance was “first-rate in every way,” writes a New York Times critic.
Catalyst Quartet, whose members perform as a chamber ensemble and as principal musicians in Sphinx Virtuosi, made its central Pennsylvania debut last season as part of a residency at Penn State.
Members of Sphinx Virtuosi have performed as soloists with America’s major ensembles, including New York Philharmonic and the symphony orchestras of Cleveland, Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Pittsburgh. Members also hold professional orchestral positions. Several players have been named laureates of other prestigious competitions, including the Queen Elisabeth and Yehudi Menuhin.
Latin Voyages: Viajes Latinos, the ensemble’s fall 2016 tour, takes audiences on a journey that includes zesty Argentine tango, nocturnal images of Mexico, and a tribute to the great Brazilian composer Astor Piazzolla. The program invites listeners to explore the great palette of the string medium through the prism of celebrated and lesser-known composers. The music, which celebrates the intricate mosaic of sounds and colors of the diverse Latin heritage, includes works by Alberto Williams, Javier Álvarez, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Cesar Espejo, Osvaldo Golijov, Alberto Ginastera, and, of course, Piazzolla. | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:30PM | | Link: | http://www.cpa.psu.edu |

| | Ramsey LewisJohn Pizzarelli NatCole Tribute | | | Dates: | Thursday, October 13, 2016 | | Title: | Ramsey LewisJohn Pizzarelli NatCole Tribute | | Description: | Nat King Cole broke the pop barrier with his smoky, smooth vocals, stringing along a huge number of solid hits right after his first, “Straighten Up and Fly Right,” soared up the charts in 1943. As a vocalist, he was called “the best friend a song ever had,” but he was a jazz performer at heart. Even those later tracks crafted for the pop charts belie a piano technique, vocal phrasing, and on-the-mark orchestration that are indebted to his roots in jazz.
Pianist Ramsey Lewis and guitarist-singer John Pizzarelli pay tribute to the titan of 1950s vocal pop in a concert featuring Cole’s hits along with those singular tracks of sophisticated cool jazz that have influenced their own recordings.

| | Shadowland by Pilobolus | | | Dates: | Tuesday, October 18, 2016 | | Title: | Shadowland by Pilobolus | | Description: | Created by famed dance company Pilobolus, Shadowland is a first-of-its-kind performance combining legendary modern dance with high-energy, fast-paced multimedia, merging front-of-screen choreography with projected images and moving screens of different sizes and shapes.
Shadowland tells the story of a teenage girl, longing for her independence, with nowhere for her thoughts to go but to her dreams. She sleeps, only to wake to something incredible lurking behind her bedroom wall—her shadow. Walls spin, darkness swallows the girl, and she’s off on a journey into Shadowland.
Shadowland was conceived in collaboration with Steven Banks, lead writer for the playfully surreal animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, and is propelled by a rhythmic original score by the popular American musician, producer, and film composer David Poe. Shadowland has the fluid logic of a dream powered by the grace of an acrobatic dance, evincing surprise and joyous delight in a way that is uniquely Pilobolus.
The performance includes nudity.
The performers will also participate in a post-performance discussion with audience members. | | Times: | 7:30PM - 9:00PM | | Link: | cpa.psu.edu |

| | Straight No Chaser | | | Dates: | Friday, November 11, 2016 | | Title: | Straight No Chaser | | Description: | If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures images of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses, think again. Straight No Chaser isn’t straightlaced, straight-faced, or vaudeville-style kitsch. The group has emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fan following, numerous national television appearances, and proven success with CD releases.
The I’ll Have Another tour comes to Penn State in celebration of the group’s twentieth anniversary. Straight No Chaser is the real deal, the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that moves people in a fundamental sense—and with a sense of humor.
The tour follows Straight No Chaser’s most recent album, 2015’s The New Old Fashioned, in which the group lends its inimitable vocal style to contemporary standards including The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face,” Hozier’s “Take Me to Church,” Radiohead’s “Creep,” and Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love.” The album also features some of the group’s incomparable medleys, such as “Beggin’/Counting Stars,” blending favorites by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons and OneRepublic, and “On the Road Again/Play the Road,” by Willie Nelson and Zac Brown Band, respectively. And speaking of being on the road, Straight No Chaser has built a reputation as an unforgettable live act.
