HSaturday, October 21, 2006 8:00 PM Walker Recital HallHer music is unique, soulful, and enchanting, encompassing her wide array of influences from Sarah Vaughan to Ben Folds Five. Sara Gazarek was just another college kid from the Northwest, scrambling to make tuition as a jazz performance major at the esteemed Thornton School of Music at USC, when she was named as a recipient of the prestigious Downbeat Student Music Award for Outstanding Collegiate Jazz Vocalist. Now, after the release of her remarkable debut CD Yours, Sara has performed with such jazz legends as Oleta Adams, Karrin Allyson, and Diane Schuur.For more information: www.saragazarek.com

NSaturday, November 4, 2006 8:00 PM MDPACNiyaz was founded by Iranian vocalist and composer Azam Ali, multi-instrumentalist and composer Loga Ramin Torkian and twice Grammy-nominated American producer/remixer Carmen Rizzo. Together the members of Niyaz have established a new common ground, where the ageless mystical poetry of Urdu and Persian Sufi poets is adventurously placed in the context of sweeping electronic beats and Iranian/Indian acoustic instrumentation. For their Erie appearance, oud player Dmitris Mahlis and tabla player Satnam Ramgotra round out the group. For more information: www.niyazmusic.com

BTuesday, November 14, 2006 7:30 PM MDPACBa Cissoko is a Guinean world music band, featuring four members, two of whom are playing the traditional Kora harp. The other two band members play percussion and bass, respectively. Young people love them for their tradition-breaking approach to the kora, and older people love them for continuing the art of that instrument. If Eric Clapton played kora, this is surely what he would sound like.For more information: www.ba-cissoko.com

Sunday, December 3, 2006 2:00 PM MDPAC The MDPAC welcomes the Dave Stevens Big Band back to our stage to usher in the yuletide season with pizzaz. We are thrilled to have Erie-born Dave Stevens partner with the remarkable voice of Robin McKelle - a soul-infused alto tinged with haunting echoes of the postwar jazz greats. Robin evokes the jazzy spirit of 1940’s America, while retaining a contemporary edge that speaks of a new wartime. McKelle breathes fresh life into classics many listeners thought they knew intimately. Her brassy, on-the-fly sound pays homage to the days when jazz orchestras ruled America’s dancehalls and concert theaters. The City Style Swing Dancers are back with new numbers. This show is certain to evoke Christmas memories from glory days gone by!For more information: www.davestevensbigband.comwww.robinmckelle.com

“Star of tomorrow. A voice that compares with Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald, although at times

she also sounds like a young Aretha Franklin. She blew all of us away

when we heard her.” - Keith Lockhart, Boston Pops Conductor

“She’s got quite a set of pipes on her!” - David Bowie

LSaturday, February 10, 2007 8:00PM Walker Recital HallLouis T. Hardin, better known as Moondog, was one of the 20th century’s most respected musical icons, and also a pioneer on the avant garde/minimalist scene, lauded by Philip Glass, who called him the originator of minimalism. A Kansas native, Moondog arrived in Manhattan in 1943 and occupied a street corner on 6th Avenue and 54th Street, where he entertained with homemade drums, portable keyboard, and his own poetry. Swedish born Stefan Lakatos, the inheritor of the unique Moondog percussion instrument known as the trimbas, entertains audiences to Moondog’s legacy, which consists of some of the most beautiful and peculiar music that still amazes listeners all over the world—music that has influenced John Lennon, Frank Zappa, Paul Simon and many others. Project Moondog is spearheaded by local musician Lou Nicolia who will be joined in performance by Lakatos and seven other local musicians. For more information: www.moondogscorner.de

FTuesday, March 13, 2007 7:30PM MDPAC“Few theater artists today can achieve the level of visual splendor and theatrical magic that Mr. Pendleton can conjure,” says The Wall Street Journal of Momix’s celebrated founder Moses Pendleton (also the co-founder of Pilobolus). His versatile troupe of dancer/illusionists freely mixes classical ballet, modern dance, gymnastics, and theatrical illusion, creating surrealistic tableaux that are stunning, stimulating and always entertaining. The troupe brings one of its latest works, Opus Cactus, a suite of 21 dances built around an American Southwest theme and set to music ranging from Bach to Brian Eno.For more information: www.momix.com

BTuesday, April 3, 2007 7:30 PM MDPACBallet and bluegrass? You bet. North Carolina Dance Theatre’s Under Southern Skies will slide down as easy as grits and gravy. The program includes “Shindig” - the rollicking ballet set to traditional bluegrass music performed live by the Greasy Beans and “I’m With You” by Artistic Director Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux with the acclaimed country singer/songwriter Christine Kane. Each explores an aspect of what makes the South, its artists, and the culture of the region unique.

WSaturday, April 21, 2007 8:00 PM Walker Recital HallWith diverse cultural and musical influences, the Fareed Haque Group is opening new doors with a completely fresh approach to world music that grooves and percolates. The group makes its debut with the release of Cosmic Hug, a unique combination of world, jazz, and jam. Earthy, vital, breezy, electric, and truly eclectic, the Fareed Haque Group defies easy categorization. The band approaches the art of jazz improvisation in wide-ranging ways, bringing Middle Eastern scales, American-pop song forms and other far-flung elements to everything they play. Haque’s music is at times exciting and improvisatory, and at others relaxing and lightly settling into a mellow Funk groove. He co-founded the jam super-group Garaj Mahal and his work with Paquito D’Rivera, Sting, Dave Holland, Ramsey Lewis, Nigel Kennedy, and Edgar Meyer has proven him as a solid, versatile performer.
