it is my pleasure to invite you to experience the 2013/14 carolina Performing arts (cPa) season. a distinctive and world-class performing arts program offers a unique prism through which we can view and appreciate the university’s teaching, research, and public service missions. i was so pleased to learn that we have that here at carolina and look forward to experiencing it in person.

even as a new tar heel, i know cPa has made an indelible mark. last season’s The Rite of Spring at 100 made chapel hill an arts destination like no other. together, the university community revisited and reimagined the artistry that sparked a riot a century ago with an astonishing series of performances. the exposure for cPa and the university was equally impressive – including The New York Times, The New Yorker, the BBc, and national Public radio, to name a few outlets.

moving forward, cPa is committed to increasing its impact on students and in classrooms. (it’s great that we can offer $10 student tickets!) With major support from the andrew W. mellon foundation, cPa is rolling out a new initiative to fully integrate the performing arts into the academy – arts@thecore. By working directly with faculty across the university in curating performances, identifying new ways cPa performances can enhance student learning and research, and increasing the number and variety of ways in which visiting artists can interact with our community, arts@thecore promises a new vision for what the performing arts can mean for a major public research university.

no matter who you are – student, faculty, staff, arts lover, or arts novice – there is something extraordinary awaiting you at memorial hall. i encourage you to take advantage of the new season’s offerings. choose some old favorites, but also try something new. let the arts become a part of your life.

welcome

dear friendsthe arts are a singular language that incites us to view the world in new ways, to become familiar with the unfamiliar, and to see unanswered questions as motivation for discovery.

the heart of carolina Performing arts’ mission is to change lives by creating

and presenting exceptional arts experiences, to challenge and inspire, and to integrate the arts into the core of the university. We are excited to carry last season’s successes, both on stage and in the classroom, focusing now on our connection to unc’s academic foundation through the launch of our new initiative: Arts@TheCore.

arts@thecore strives to answer the challenges faced by all university presenters: how do the performing arts increase the ability of faculty and students to innovate and create? how can the arts help faculty respond to the challenges of our time? By shifting the arts to the core of the university, we can begin to answer these questions.

We believe that artistic excellence is fundamental to extraordinary engagement experiences. this season, we present a slate of artists from around the world whose own curiosities, ideas, and risk-taking truly identify them as 21st century virtuosos. they include artists such as israeli dancer/choreographer Sharon eyal, longtime member of Batsheva Dance company who has created her own company, L-E-V, with partner Gai Behar. We welcome the return of lin hwai-min’s Cloud

Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan. in addition, we are pleased to present pianist András Schiff performing J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, arguably the most important work of variations ever written; Wendy Whelan, new York city Ballet principal dancer, will return to chapel hill in an evening of duets created and performed with some of our nation’s most dynamic young choreographers; Brooklyn Rider returns for the third year of its unc residency; and we are thrilled to present the chapel hill debut of conductor Harry Bicket and The English Concert in a rare concert opera interpretation of handel’s Theodora, featuring some of the world’s greatest operatic voices of today.

each artist represents an opportunity to engage in dialogue across a range of academic disciplines, and allows our students and faculty to see across cultures, around conventions, and beyond boundaries. We invite you to join us on this journey.

thank you for your continued support.

With all best wishes,

Emil Kangexecutive Director for the artsDirector, carolina Performing artsProfessor of the Practice, Department of music

Our constantly changing and complex world demands more creative engagement than ever before. the arts have the potential to become a powerful tool in our dailylives, helping develop our collective abilities to approach objectives and challengeswith deeper understanding, insight, and imagination. this is especially truewithin the context of a university environment.

last season, The Rite of Spring at 100 offered a glimpse into what’s possible, withmore than 20 courses directly related to carolina Performing arts’ season-longcelebration of Stravinsky’s masterpiece. hundreds of students came to memorialhall as a result. this season, we launch arts@thecore, a multi-faceted, multi-year program designed to strengthen the bonds between academics and the performing arts at the university of north carolina at chapel hill.

arts@thecore strives to inspire faculty to re-imagine their own intellectual andinterdisciplinary frontiers. for this to occur, and for the performing arts to trulyestablish itself at the core of university life, faculty must have ample opportunity to experience the performing arts, share in the curatorial responsibility for programming,and attract financial and peer support to explore ways of integrating the performingarts into classroom instruction and research.

last year, the andrew W. mellon foundation of new York awarded a five-year grant to carolina Performing arts to support the creation and implementation of arts@thecore programs. key elements of arts@thecore include the creation of the andrew W. mellon Distinguished Scholar for carolina Performing arts, an appointment tasked to leverage the influence and scholarship of our leading faculty members. this person assumes a key role within carolina Performing arts’ operations and helps direct arts@thecore initiatives. our first mellon Distinguished Scholar is Joy kasson, Ph.D., Professor of american Studies.

in addition to a faculty advisory committee that will develop a long-term strategy forconnecting carolina Performing arts with academic disciplines, newly tenured professorsat unc will be encouraged to apply for curatorial fellowships in which recipients willdesign a series of performances to be presented as part of a carolina Performing arts season.

an innovation fund, a faculty Seminar Series and other initiatives are being planned to further foster the innovation and creative thinking made possible by the performing arts. for more information, please visit www.carolinaperformingarts.org/artsatthecore.

everyone who visits memorial hall experiences world-class performances at the heart of a distinguished university. Beyond proximity, however, what can the performing arts and academics offer each other? carolina Performing arts’ 2013-14 season will explore this question through arts@thecore, where professors will propose links between performances and courses in a wide variety of departments. faculty and students will engage with performers to discuss creativity, innovation and the distinctive role the arts play in modern life.

opportunities to explore the roots of american identity abound in performances by Jazz at lincoln center orchestra, Béla fleck and abigail Washburn, and alvin ailey american Dance theater. Students and professors exploring global history and culture will find food for thought in performances by taj mahal, Vusi mahlasela and Deva mahal, compagnie käfig, and cloud Gate Dance theatre of taiwan.

arts@thecore will sponsor faculty seminars, workshops and discussion groups designed to explore intellectual and aesthetic themes of interest across the curriculum. faculty will engage in conversations and public events that will carry the performing arts beyond the walls of memorial hall. arts@thecore will also offer undergraduate students many opportunities to become more involved the arts. over the next few years, we hope to infuse even more life and energy into the relationship between carolina Performing arts and the rest of the carolina campus. Watch for signs that the innovation and creativity carolina Performing arts brings to the stage are inspiring the entire university.

Joy Kasson serves as professor of American Studies and English at UNC-Chapel Hill. As the inaugural Andrew W. Mellon Distinguished Scholar for Carolina Performing Arts, she helps spearhead the Arts@TheCore initiative to integrate arts into the academy.

MAceo PArker / GeorGe clinton And PArliAMent funkAdelicWe open the season with a double-bill featuring two north carolina natives whose names have become synonymous with funk.

it’s hard to tell which came first, maceo Parker or the funk. maceo got his start with James Brown, and for over 20 years he has been building a new funk empire, fresh and stylistically diverse. in his blistering solo career, he navigates deftly between Brown’s 1960s soul and George clinton’s 1970s freaky funk, while also exploring mellow jazz and hip-hop.

George clinton is one of the foremost innovators of funk music. the mastermind behind Parliament funkadelic (P-funk), clinton was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 1997 with 15 other band members. P-funk has captured 40 top r&B singles, including “one nation under a Groove” and “aqua Boogie,” and their music has been sampled on albums by outkast, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and many others.

two decades ago, Wynton marsalis composed and recorded In This House, On This Morning and began a creative exploration of how the

african-american church service reflects the theme of universal humanism while raising a joyful noise. he refined this integration of sacred and

secular expression with his definitive 2008 extended work Abyssinian 200: A Celebration, commissioned by the abyssinian Baptist church in

harlem to celebrate its bicentennial anniversary. after a triumphant performance in london’s Barbican centre, the Jazz at lincoln center

orchestra with Wynton marsalis has brought fresh perspective to this masterwork. Sensational conductor Damien Sneed

leads his 70-person gospel choir, chorale le chateau, through the demanding compendium of shouts,

chants and joyous expressions in this performance.

Grammy award-winning pianist and conductor andrás Schiff is one of the most renowned interpreters of Bach, mozart, Schubert and Schumann. thirty years after his acclaimed recording of the Goldberg Variations for Decca and a decade after the re-release on ecm, Schiff returns to J.S. Bach’s iconic work. first published in 1741, the Goldberg Variations – a

series of 30 movements inspired by a single musical theme – has come to be recognized as one of the most important examples of

variation form. returning to chapel hill, Schiff brings a distinctively melodic, nuanced voice to Bach’s masterwork in a concert that

promises an exceptional display of musical genius not to be missed.

käfig’s sensational double bill Correria and Agwa derives from an encounter between artistic Director mourad merzouki and 11 young male dancers from rio de Janeiro at the lyon Dance Biennial in 2006. their stories about life in the favelas – Brazilian shanty towns – and their determination to make something of themselves struck a profound chord with merzouki and inspired him to create two heart-stopping works that showcase the young Brazilians’ dazzling virtuosity.

the company’s thrilling combination of hip-hop, capoeira, samba, electronic music and bossa nova culminates in a dance performance with astonishing acrobatic skills filled with energy and invention. Correria plunges us into a frantic, hectic race just like the one that governs our daily lives. Agwa is all about water – the most vital component of the human body, a precious natural resource to be preserved, and a symbol of renewal.

often referred to as the “poet of the violin,” Joshua Bell is one of the world’s most celebrated violinists. his stunning virtuosity, beautiful tone and charismatic stage presence have brought him universal acclaim. recently appointed music Director of the academy of St. martin in the fields, he is the first person to hold this title since Sir neville marriner formed the orchestra in 1958.

the academy of St. martin in the fields is renowned for its polished and refined sound, rooted in outstanding musicianship. formed from a group of leading london musicians, and working without a conductor, the academy gave its first performance in its namesake church in 1959. the collegiate spirit and flexibility of the original ensemble remain an academy hallmark.

cloud Gate Dance theatre of taiwan transforms ancient aesthetics into a thrilling modern celebration of motion. immersed in

everything from meditation to martial arts to modern dance, cloud Gate returns to memorial hall for its third visit in a stunning

production of Songs of the Wanderers. inspired by the quest for enlightenment and wealth of sacred traditions throughout asia, lin hwai-min, cloud Gate’s founder, choreographer and artistic director, transforms ancient rites into resonant dance theater.

a visually stunning poem to spiritual pilgrimage, Songs of the Wanderers creates a world of intense reverence. evocative

movements set to soulful Georgian folk songs are brought to life on an astonishing set with over three tons of shimmering golden grains of rice. a monk stands still at a downstage corner for the

entire performance, a stream of rice grains flowing from above and onto his shaved head, transforming from a river to hills to

a desert, showering like a summer storm and waterfalls.

carolina Performing arts is delighted to welcome one of israel’s oldest and most influential cultural institutions to chapel hill for the first time. Since its founding in 1936, the israel Philharmonic orchestra has dedicated itself to presenting the world’s greatest music to audiences in israel and around the world. founder Bronislaw huberman, a Polish violinist, spent countless hours persuading first-chair musicians of eastern european and German orchestras, who had lost their jobs as a result of naziism, to emigrate to Palestine. in doing so, huberman created an “orchestra of soloists” which, under the esteemed leadership of Zubin mehta, continues to absorb new immigrants and serve as a gathering point for musicians from all over the world.

“America’s greatest contemporary ballerina” – The New York Times

wendy whelAn Restless Creature With her elegant, thrilling movement, Wendy Whelan has captivated audiences as the principal dancer of the new York city Ballet for more than 25 years, in a career that spans great classical ballets, neo-classical masterpieces and adventurous works by contemporary choreographers. returning to unc’s memorial hall, she takes on a challenge that will show audiences new aspects of her craft in a series of new works by four young choreographers. collaborating with kyle abraham, Brian Brooks, Joshua Beamish and alejandro cerrudo, Wendy creates a suite of duets that she will perform with each choreographer in turn. the distinct styles of her partners will provide for a fascinating study of how she can adapt to another’s vision while maintaining and even amplifying her own vivid individuality.

This performance is made possible by Performance Benefactor Jane Ellison in celebration of Jacqueline Zinn’s love of dance.


alvin ailey’s story is one of the most inspirational in the history of american performing arts, and his genius forever changed the perception of american dance. from its now-fabled beginnings in 1958 at new York city’s 92nd Street Y, alvin ailey american Dance theater has grown to become the nation’s dance ambassador. Bringing african-american cultural expression and the american modern dance tradition to the world’s stages, the company has performed at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents. the alvin ailey legacy continues with the extraordinary artistry of the company’s beautiful dancers, whose splendid technique and remarkable style, signature characteristics of the ailey tradition, continue to dazzle audiences around the globe. the company’s annual visit to memorial hall has become an essential part of the carolina Performing arts season and a time-honored chapel hill tradition.
