COMEDY

The Flying Karamazov BroThersSaturday, September 17 at 8 p.m.They aren’t Russian. They aren’t brothers. And they certainly don’t fly. Misnomers aside, this zany foursome presents an unforgettable spectacle of music, comedy, dance, theater, and, not least of all, juggling. And boy, do they juggle—everything from bowling balls to chain saws—and with a bit of philosophy thrown in for good measure…and good laughs. “This quartet of juggler-clowns has the stuff to amuse and amaze. The puns fly as fast as the pins.” (New York’s Downtown Express) They started on the streets of San Francisco in the ’70s, and have since appeared on Broadway, Seinfeld and late-night TV. Don’t miss the most enduring and uniquely entertaining comedians performing today! “100 minutes of cleverness and comedy that go by in a flash!” (The New York Times)

LATIN MUSIC AND DANCE

Kings oF salsaSunday, October 2 at 4 p.m.This electrifying mix of high voltage Latin music and sizzling choreography comes straight from the streets of Havana! Kings of Salsa is a hot new show, filled with the sounds and movement of this intoxicating island, and showcases a slice of contemporary Cuba never before seen on stage. The renowned young Cuban choreographer Roclan Gonzalez Chavez has gathered some of his island’s greatest talents to perform a spicy blend of cool street salsa, Afro-Caribbean hip-hop, contemporary dance, and Cuba’s classics: the mambo, rumba, and cha-cha-cha. It is made all the more electric by the Latin rhythms and stratospheric brass arrangements of the spectacular nine-piece band, Cuba Ashire. “The dancers of the Kings of Salsa exercise their mastery of [these dances] to perfection, as if dancing were as essential to life as breathing and the beating of the heart.” (Hamburger Abendsplatt, Germany)

Compañia FlamenCa José porCel gypsy FireSunday, October 30 at 4 p.m.

“Evocative and exciting.” (Las Vegas Review-Journal) Spain’s premiere flamenco dancer and choreographer, José Porcel, and his company of gifted dancers and musicians dazzle audiences with an explosion of passionate rhythms, powerful movement, vibrant colors, and breathtaking choreography. In his new show, Gypsy Fire, Porcel presents the purest, oldest, and most fiery forms of flamenco. Porcel has been dancing Andalusian folkloric dances and flamenco since the age of 13, and has spent his life studying in Madrid with the masters of the craft. Now he brings his extraordinary company to the Hylton Center to share the customs, the culture, the art and, most of all, the passion of the gypsy people. “Exceptionally well-trained dancers…crisp technique and rhythmically solid.” (The Washington Post)

l.a. TheaTre WorKs The rivalryFriday, November 11 at 8 p.m. America’s premier radio theater company presents Norman Corwin’s riveting depiction of the historic debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas in their battle for the Senate. Using dialogue from the original debate, The Rivalry explores this epic clash of ideas that riveted a divided nation, as these two legendary politicians tackled the most controversial issues of their day—racial, social, and economic inequity; states’ rights; and the role of the federal government in the lives of its citizens: issues as relevant today as they were 150 years ago. The work is a stunning testament to the willingness of Lincoln and Douglas to put aside their differences for the good of the country. L.A. Theatre Works is “a national theatrical treasure,” says the Philadelphia Inquirer. This incredible company stages radio dramas with first-rate casts and live sound effects, resulting in a connection to the audience rarely felt in a traditional theater setting.

ChanTiCleer a Chanticleer ChristmasSunday, November 27 at 4 p.m.Chanticleer’s elegant Christmas concert is a longstanding hallmark of the holiday season in concert halls across the nation, and this year it comes to the Hylton Center. This enchanting concert features traditional Christmas carols, revered sacred works, and joyful holiday favorites. “No one does a better choral Christmas than the virtuoso male voices of Chanticleer,” according to the New Yorker, and we couldn’t agree more. This renowned ensemble from San Francisco has delighted audiences—and wowed critics—around the globe for more than 30 years. Celebrated for their flawless technique, rapturous melodies, and original interpretations, these twelve a cappella voices have mastered a vocal literature that spans ten centuries, and includes everything from Gregorian chant and Renaissance music to jazz, gospel and contemporary music. “Remarkable elegance and fluidity…the ensemble explores a melting pot of styles.” (The New York Times)

They perform a joyous blend of traditional Celtic melodies, their own signature hits, and cherished Christmas carols from North America and the British Isles, while demonstrating their contagious energy, formidable musical prowess and ferocious footwork. Described by the Buffalo News as “fresh, vibrant, and engaging,” they grew up playing music on the family farm, exploring their Irish-Scottish roots while perfecting their musical talents. They have since captured the hearts and minds of countless fans with their engaging fiddle-driven music, incredible step-dancing, and enchanting vocals. This amazing, award-winning group brought the audience to its feet at the grand opening of the Hylton Center in 2010 and their return appearance promises to be even more exciting.

Centuries ago, performers in China combined their dramatic folk arts with their cultural roots, using common household objects as props, to create an acrobatic art wholly unique to their culture. In 1950, the government established the National Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China to preserve and carry on this ancient art form, and it has since thrived both at home and now abroad. In its inaugural North American tour, this important cultural treasure—every bit as mesmerizing today as it was 3,000 years ago—is packed with fun for families of all ages!

BLUEGRASS

Dr. ralph sTanley anD The ClinCh mounTain BoysSaturday, February 11 at 8 p.m.“Hard, starkly beautiful music,” says Newsweek about this living legend from rural southwest Virginia. For more than 60 years, bluegrass banjoist Dr. Ralph Stanley has continued to preserve traditional bluegrass, old-time and mountain music with his celebrated band, The Clinch Mountain Boys, which he formed with his brother Carter in 1946. Not content to rest on his laurels, at age 84, Stanley still tours with the vigor and elan of a rock star, performing more than 150 concerts each year. In the last decade, he became the first artist inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in the 21st century; earned a Grammy Award for his work on the soundtrack for the acclaimed film, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”; received the National Medal of the Arts; and opened the Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center in Clintwood, Virginia. Don’t miss this incredible night of music that will enchant bluegrass fans across generations! “One of the last, and surely the purest, of the traditional country musicians.” (The New York Times)
