Haale Wednesday, March 19, 2008 at 7:30pm

Born in New York City to Iranian parents, Haale grew up with Jimi Hendrix in one ear and Persianmusic in the other. Her distinctive style and incendiary live shows draw on ‘60s psychedelic rockand traditional Sufi music. Whether singing her own lyrics in English or those of mystical Iranianpoets like Rumi in Persian, Haale’s cinematic, collaged texts are woven through a trance-inducingtapestry of shimmering electric guitars, strings and percussion. “In Sufi tradition,” she says,“music is a tool for ushering listeners into a transcendent state, for turning them on, awakeningtheir souls, propelling them into an ecstatic state. I think great psychedelic rock does this as well.There’s definitely a kinship in the level of energy and fire that’s in these two genres, and in wherethat can take the listener...That’s what I am interested in.”

CREATIVE CAMPUSStarting in 2007-08, alongside our regular series, we will be adding season-long, campus- andcommunity-wide thematic programming that explores a particular topic each academic year.Through collaborations with artists, speakers, academic leaders and key community partners,Carolina Performing Arts will strive to provide a balanced platform for the discussion of impor-tant societal issues through the arts, politics, law, religion, the media, and more. The focus of2007-08 is The Death Penalty Examined, with performances, commissioned works, exhibi-tions, talks, films and panel discussions. Keep an eye on our website for further information.

CURRICULUM CONNECTIONSAs part of our commitment to the University’s academic plan, we collaborate with facultyto create unique, interdisciplinary educational opportunities through the performing arts.Faculty members can take advantage of our programs to supplement classroom discus-sions and convey course themes, and, where possible, we bring artists to students withworkshops, master classes, discussions, symposia, Q&As, open rehearsals and more. In 2006-07, we partnered with some thirty-five faculty in African & Afro-AmericanStudies, American Studies, Asian Studies, Communication Studies, Computer Science,Dramatic Art, English, Exercise and Sport Science, Folklore, French Studies, History,Law, Music, and Portuguese Studies, along with the Johnston Center forUndergraduate Excellence and the Stone Center for Black Culture and History.

LEVELS OF MEMBERSHIP

The performance experience is only possible with an enthusiastic and attentive audience who engage with and respond toartists on the stage. Purchasing tickets is one of the most effective ways to support our work, but the cost of presenting artistsof the caliber on our season is far greater than income from tickets, even when Memorial Hall is sold out. Ticket sales coveronly 45% of the cost of performances and although the University will continue to fund facilities and overhead, financial self-sufficiency remains an urgent goal. By creating an endowment, we will achieve a predictable level of permanent funding intothe future, allowing us to plan and expand our offerings.

The $5 Mill ion ChallengeWith a $5 million challenge grant from the William R. Kenan Charitable Trust, Carolina Performing Arts has undertaken acampaign to match it dollar for dollar by December 31, 2007 to create a permanent endowment. As of spring 2007, giftsand pledges totaling $4.2 million have been generously given, but we must reach our goal by the end of 2007 in order toearn the $5 million match.

When complete, the endowment will provide $500,000 annually to the Carolina Performing Arts. Along with an annualgrant from student fees to offset our tremendously successful $10 student ticket program, the endowment will fill the gapbetween costs and ticket income and support the current level of programming.

Naming OpportunitiesAs with the Memorial Hall campaign, naming opportunities are available. Seats in the Beasley-Curtis Auditorium atMemorial Hall can be named for $5,000 each. While over 600 seats have already been named, nearly 800 unnamed seatsremain. There are also several opportunities to name spaces in the Hall. In addition, donors may wish to create permanentperformance funds to support future artists at Carolina.

For more information, please contact Priscilla Bratcher at [email protected] or at 919-843-3307.
