Visit page 11 to learn about Center Gift Cards, Discount Ticket programs, Group Sales and the Center’s Perks Card program. To help you plan ahead, a listing of this season’s events is available on pages 60 and 61.

performs a<br />
variety of dance<br />
styles including<br />
ballet, jazz, tap,<br />
hip-hop, lyrical,<br />
contemporary,<br />
African, and theatrical dance.<br />
The name derives from the group<br />
representation of a MOSAIC of<br />
diverse people, with different bodies,<br />
colors, shapes and sizes, ethnicities,<br />
religious affiliations, and ideological<br />
positionings… a MOSAIC not just of<br />
dance, but of life! Each semester is<br />
capped off with the signature “Evening<br />
of Dance” event featuring an all-student<br />
cast. Since 2007, FLC’s dance program<br />

Supporting the power<br />
of the arts<br />
Creativity not only powers the soul, but<br />
empowers your health. And research shows<br />
that they’re both linked in positive ways.<br />
So go ahead and let your artistic side flow.<br />
Learn to play a musical instrument, adventure<br />
to a new theatrical play, or join the dance<br />
class you’ve always wanted. And when you<br />
need a team of experts behind you, you’ll<br />
always have supportive partners in your<br />
care at UC Davis Health.<br />

<strong>2019</strong> Exhibitions<br />
Folsom Lake College Art Alumni Show<br />
May 24 - July 14, <strong>2019</strong><br />
The FLC Visual Arts Alumni Invitational<br />
exhibition at the Bank of America Gallery<br />
features a diverse range of works from<br />
representational to non-objective, as well<br />
as a variety of media. Each artist’s body<br />
of work captures the essence and investigative<br />
nature of the artist’s personal<br />
journey. The exhibition is representative<br />
of each artist’s aesthetics and reflects<br />
their experiential influences.<br />
Select FLC alumni were invited to exhibit<br />
their work. The artists in this exhibition<br />
are a diverse group. Some have gone on<br />
to pursue a B.A., M.A., or M.F.A., while<br />
others jumped straight into the job<br />
market. The artworks reveal fascinating<br />
personal stories and trace the artistic<br />
and professional trajectory of their lives.<br />
Many of these former FLC students keep<br />
in touch with their FLC instructors and all<br />
value the importance of their education at<br />
FLC, showing their ability to shine in the<br />
contemporary art world.<br />
A searching and deepening desire for the<br />
arts is what connects these artists. These<br />
individuals exemplify the vibrancy and<br />
multiple dimensions of the current art<br />
world.<br />

HALAU KA WAIKAHE LANI MALIE A ME KAHULALIWAI<br />
Halau Ka Waikahe Lani Malie and Halau Kahulaliwai were established 1999 in Sacramento<br />
under the direction of Kumu Hula Juni Kalāhikiola Lovel. Originally from the island of<br />
Kaua`i, Kumu Juni Kalāhikiola Lovel began dancing hula at the age of 8. She attributes<br />
her deeper love of hula and lessons in spirituality to the teachings of her Kumu, Blaine<br />
Kamalani Kia. The hālau vision is to enhance and to sustain strong cultural and spiritual<br />
values by better educating the hula practitioner to care, support and respect the dance; so<br />
that each practitioner, as they aspire to their full potential, can spiritually and humbly make<br />
a contributing impact (through example) to the community and all walks of life. The hālau<br />
mission is that all properties of knowledge, wisdom and cultural aspects belonging to the<br />
dance be passed down and rooted from generation to generation and maintained by the<br />
halau principals for the benefit of all who are part of the dance. This year’s annual Ho’ike<br />
show is scheduled for June 29.<br />

MARK HUMMEL'S <strong>2019</strong> SOUTHERN HARP BLOWOUT<br />
with Bobby Rush, Kenny Neal , James Harman and Jumpin Johnny Sansone, and<br />
Mark Hummel’s Golden State Lone Star featuring Anson Funderburgh<br />
Thursday, January 17, <strong>2019</strong>; 7:30 pm<br />
Grammy Nominee Mark Hummel returns and, as always, his<br />
guests are stellar: Bobby Rush is a 2017 Grammy winner, Blues<br />
Hall of Fame Inductee, 10 Ten Blues Music Award Winner, B.B.<br />
King Entertainer of the Year, and Rolling Stone “King of the<br />
Chitlin’ Circuit” winner. Kenny Neal is a second-generation<br />
southern Louisiana bluesman, 2017 Grammy-nominee and<br />
winner of two Blues Music Awards for his Bloodline CD. Jumpin’<br />
Johnny Sansone studied harmonica with Junior Wells and<br />
James Cotton; his former band Jumpin Johnny’s Blues Party<br />
was the foundation of the New Orleans-based The Iguanas.<br />
Appearing is blues supergroup Golden State/Lone Star Blues<br />
Revue. The Southern Blowouts are dedicated to the late Lazy<br />
Lester, who was on many of these shows since 2004.<br />

BOBBY RUSH<br />
Bobby is a 2017 Grammy winner,<br />
Blues Hall of Fame Inductee, 10 Times<br />
Blues Music Award Winner, B.B. King<br />
Entertainer of the Year and Rolling Stone<br />
"King of the Chitlin' Circuit” winner.<br />
Naming your album after a song entitled<br />
"Porcupine Meat” may seem a little<br />
unusual unless you’re Bobby Rush, who<br />
earned his first gold record in 1971 with a hit entitled “Chicken<br />
Heads.” He elaborates on his recent composition: “If a lady won’t<br />
treat me right, but she doesn’t want anyone else to have me,<br />
that is hard to digest.” Hence the lyric, “too fat to eat, too lean to<br />
throw away.” Porcupine Meat is Rush’s debut release for Rounder<br />
Records, and one of the best recordings of his astonishing 60-<br />
plus year career. Released in late 2016 the album went on to<br />
garner a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album after<br />
a debut at #1 on the Living Blues radio chart. Rush estimates that<br />
he has cut over 300 songs since he first began making music.<br />
He has been honored with four Grammy nominations, as well as<br />
41 nominations and 10 awards from the Blues Foundation, and<br />
a 2006 induction into the Blues Hall of Fame.<br />
But make no mistake: Rush is not your typical octogenarian. At<br />
age 84, he exudes the energy of a 20 year old, and is on the road<br />
for over 200 dates a year. His hectic tour schedule has earned<br />
him the affectionate title “King of the Chitlin’ Circuit.” Bobby<br />
completed US dates with the star-studded Take Me To The River<br />
Revue w/Charlie Musselwhite, William Bell & other Memphis<br />
star’s promoting the documentary of the same name last year.<br />
Rush has traveled the globe, and has performed in such faraway<br />
places as Japan and Beirut. In 2007, he earned the distinction<br />
of being the first blues artist to play at the Great Wall of China.<br />
His renowned stage act features his famed shake dancers,<br />
who personify his funky blues and the ribald humor that he has<br />
cultivated during the course of his storied career.<br />
Born Emmet Ellis, Jr. in Homer, Louisiana, he adopted the<br />
stage name Bobby Rush out of respect for his father, a pastor.<br />
According to Rush, his parents never talked about the blues<br />
being the devil’s music. “My daddy never told me to sing the<br />
blues, but he also didn’t tell me to not sing the blues. I took that<br />
as a green light.”<br />
Rush built his first guitar when he was a youngster. “I didn’t<br />

continued<br />
know where to buy one, even if I had the money. I was a country<br />
boy,” he says. After seeing a picture of a guitar in a magazine,<br />
he decided to make one by attaching the top wire of a broom to<br />
a wall and fretting it with a bottle. He also got some harmonica<br />
lessons from his father. He eventually acquired a real guitar,<br />
and started playing in juke joints as a teenager, when his family<br />
briefly relocated to Little Rock, Arkansas. The fake moustache<br />
Rush wore made club owners believe he was old enough to<br />
gain entry into their establishments. While he was living in<br />
Little Rock, Rush’s band, which featured Elmore James, had a<br />
residency at a nightspot called Jackrabbit.<br />
During the mid-1950s, Rush relocated to Chicago to pursue<br />
his musical career and make a better life for himself. It was<br />
there that he started to work with Earl Hooker, Luther Allison,<br />
and Freddie King sat in with many of his musical heroes, such<br />
as Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, and<br />
Little Walter. Rush eventually began leading his own band in the<br />
1960s. He also started to craft his own distinct style of funky<br />
blues, and recorded a succession of singles for a various small<br />
labels. It wasn’t until the early 1970’s that Rush finally scored a<br />
hit with “Chicken Heads.” More recordings followed, including<br />
an album for Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff’s Philadelphia<br />
International Label.<br />
Rush relocated one final time to Jackson, Mississippi in the<br />
early 1980s. He was tired of the cold up north, and he realized<br />
that setting up his base of operations directly in the center of<br />
the South would make it easier to perform in nearby cities<br />
on weekends. More indie label recordings followed. Songs<br />
like “Sue, A Man Can Give (But He Sure Can’t Take It),” “What’s<br />
Good For The Goose Is Good For The Gander Too,” and” I Ain’t<br />
Studdin’ You” became regional jukebox favorites in juke joints<br />
throughout the region, and many of those songs are still fan<br />
favorites that are an integral part of his live repertoire. Make<br />
no mistake, Bobby Rush is both a Bluesman and an entertainer<br />
of the highest order!<br />
KENNY NEAL<br />
If you want to experience the "Real Deal,"<br />
take time out to find Kenny Neal. One<br />
of the strongest modern proponents<br />
of Baton Rouge swamp blues, Kenny<br />
Neal is a second-generation southern<br />
Louisiana bluesman who is cognizant<br />
of the region's venerable blues tradition<br />
and imaginative enough to steer it in<br />
fresh directions. Neal was born on<br />
October 14, 1957 in New Orleans. His dad, harpist Raful Neal,<br />
was a Baton Rouge blues mainstay whose pals included Buddy<br />
Guy and Slim Harpo (the latter gave three-year-old Kenny his<br />
first harmonica).<br />
At age 13, Neal was playing in his father's band, and at 17,<br />
landed a job playing bass for Buddy Guy. The guitarist recruited<br />
some of his talented siblings to form the Neal Brothers Blues<br />
Band up in Toronto (brother Noel later played bass behind<br />
James Cotton; five other Neal brothers also play in various<br />
bands) before returning stateside. In 1987, Kenny Neal cut<br />
his debut LP for Florida producer Bob Greenlee, an updated<br />
swamp feast initially released by Kingsnake Records as Bio<br />
on the Bayou. The following year, Alligator Records signed<br />
Neal and reissued the debut under the title Big News from<br />
Baton Rouge!! Young Neal was on his way. Neal's sizzling guitar<br />
work, sturdy harp, and gravelly, aged-beyond-his-years vocals<br />
served him well, and he cut four albums for Alligator Records<br />
between 1989 and 1994. An acclaimed 1991 stint on Broadway<br />
in a production of Mule Bone found him performing acoustic<br />
versions of Langston Hughes' poetry set to music by Taj Mahal.<br />
In 1998, Neal moved from Alligator to the blues division of<br />
the jazz-based Telarc Records, releasing three albums for<br />
the label: Blues Fallin' Down Like Rain (1998), What You Got<br />
(2000), and One Step Closer (2001). In the new millennium, Neal<br />
recorded sets for a variety of independent labels, including Easy<br />
Meeting (a 2003 collaboration with Billy Branch), Double Take<br />
(2004, a one-shot return to Alligator), and A Tribute to Slim Harpo<br />
and Raful Neal (released in 2005 for True Life Entertainment).<br />
Three years later, Neal hooked up with Blind Pig Records and<br />
released Let Life Flow in 2008, once again incorporating his<br />
gritty Louisiana roots with a sophisticated Chicago/Memphis<br />
soul approach. A second Blind Pig release, Hooked on Your Love,<br />
appeared two years later in 2010.<br />
In 2015, Neal released his first holiday-themed album, I'll<br />
Be Home for Christmas. It was his first album for Cleopatra<br />
Records, which also issued his critically acclaimed release,<br />
Bloodline in 2016.<br />
Kenny's 2016 release, Bloodline, was nomimated for a 2017<br />
Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album and also won two<br />
2017 BMAs (Blues Music Awards); one for Best Contemporary<br />
Blues Album and the other for Best Contemporary Male Blues<br />
Artist. Kenny Neal, a true living blues Legend is THE REAL<br />
DEAL and more poised than ever to deliver the blues like no<br />
one else can!<br />
JAMES HARMAN<br />
James was born and raised in Anniston,<br />
Alabama-quickly picked up on the black<br />
blues and soul music being played on<br />
juke boxes and the radio. He sang in<br />
the church choir until age 16 when his<br />
family moved to Panama City, Florida,<br />
where he found himself surrounded<br />
by like-minded blues lovers. Wearing a<br />
fake moustache, young James slipped<br />
into a still segregated black nightclub to see Little Junior<br />
Parker’s show. He was totally overtaken by the blues and soon<br />
became a regular, known as “That boy who sings like a man”<br />
by patrons.<br />
While still in his teens, he started playing juke joints and<br />
dance clubs throughout the South. His performances became<br />
legendary-he was “tapped” by talent scouts, signed and taken<br />
to Atlanta, Georgia in 1964 to begin his recording career at age<br />
18. He had a series of nine singles (45 RPM records) released<br />
during the mid to late 60's on obscure southern labels. He tried<br />
several restarts in new home bases including Chicago in ’65,<br />
New York in ’66, Miami in ’68 and New Orleans in ‘69.<br />
During his stay in Miami Harman was befriended by fellow<br />
record collectors Henry Vestine, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite<br />
of Canned Heat, who persuaded him to move to California,<br />
18 2018-<strong>2019</strong> SEASON PROGRAM GUIDE www.harriscenter.net
MARK HUMMEL'S <strong>2019</strong> SOUTHERN HARP BLOWOUT<br />
continued<br />
promising to help him get re-started. Harman made his move<br />
to SoCal in 1970, and true to their word, Canned Heat insisted<br />
on Harman’s Icehouse Blues Band as their opening act on many<br />
big shows. Icehouse Blues Band became established at venues<br />
such as The Golden Bear, The Ash Grove, The Troubadour and<br />
The Lighthouse, which all booked real blues artists.<br />
James Harman was soon in demand for his own shows, as well<br />
as backing every living blues artist who was touring without<br />
a band. He also opened literally hundreds of shows for artist<br />
who did have their own band. Icehouse Blues Band was a real<br />
working blues band. In 1978 James tired of using band names<br />
and started billing his act as James Harman Band.<br />
Some alumni include Phil Alvin, Bill Bateman, Gene Taylor,<br />
David “Kid” Ramos, Michael “Hollywood Fats” Mann, Stephen<br />
Taylor Hodges and Jeff “Big Dad” Turmes. All of these players<br />
did long stints in the Harman Band. James is often cited as<br />
a band leader who gave many now famous bluesmen their<br />
start. Harman stopped ground touring in 2000 and now only<br />
takes blues festival dates around the world. Nathan James has<br />
been James Harman’s regular band guitar player since 1997<br />
when he was 19 years old... he turned 37 in 2015 and he's still<br />
Harman's favorite! Nathan is also James’ recording engineer<br />
and co-producer on his own projects, as well as projects they<br />
produce for other artists.<br />
James Harman’s side project: Bamboo Porch Revue features<br />
guitarist Nathan James playing rollicking, low-down, juke-joint<br />
blues over James Michael Tempo’s Afro-Cuban percussion,<br />
Troy Sandow’s sparse, pulsating acoustic bass and Marty<br />
Dodson's masterful drumming. Through his long career starting<br />
in the early 60s James Harman has built up an enormous<br />
song catalog and had 20 of his original songs used in movies<br />
and television. He has been nominated for 20 pestiferous W.<br />
C. Handy (Blues Foundation) awards. He was inducted into<br />
the Alabama Music Hall of Fame, and he is the harmonica<br />
player of choice on many ZZ Top releases, as well as live with<br />
them on many international TV shows. James Harman has<br />
had 33 releases, on many different labels; he currently tours<br />
every spring, summer and fall, working in as many as 29<br />
countries. Harman was nominated for a Grammy Award, and<br />
won two Blues Music Awards for his contribution to the Blind<br />
Pig release, Remembering Little Walter in 2014. He is a one of<br />
a kind song writer, producer, musician, showman, vocalist and<br />
internationally known bluesman.<br />
in 2015 Electro-Fi release Bonetime was nominated for an<br />
unprecedented five BMA awards: Song Of The Year, Album Of<br />
The Year, Traditional Album Of The Year, Harmonica Player and<br />
Traditional Blues Male Artist Of The Year.<br />
Harman’s newest Electrofi Cd is FinePrint. He appears on ZZ<br />
Top leader Billy F Gibbons’s newest CD, Big Bad Blues. and he<br />
also appears on Gibbons tour dates.<br />
JUMPIN' JOHNNY SANSONE<br />
Jumpin' Johnny Sansone was raised in<br />
West Orange, New Jersey. His father had<br />
played the saxophone in Dave Brubeck's<br />
band during World War II and by the time<br />
he was age 12, his son had learned to play<br />
the saxophone, guitar, and harmonica<br />
and saw Howlin' Wolf in concert. He<br />
later studied blues harmonica playing<br />
by studying both Junior Wells and James Cotton. Sansone<br />
attended West Orange High School. He left New Jersey in 1975<br />
on a swimming scholarship at a college in Colorado. Sansone<br />
toured in the 1980s supporting Robert Lockwood, Jr., David<br />
"Honeyboy” Edwards and Jimmy Rogers. His former band<br />
Jumpin Johnny's Blues Party was the foundation of the New<br />
Orleans offshoot group The Iguanas. Johnny also toured with<br />
guitarist Ronnie Earl. Most recently he was part of Tab Benoit's<br />
Voice Of The Wetlands Revue. Johnny was featured in HBO's<br />
Treme in a scene at House Of Blues.<br />
MARK HUMMEL GOLDEN STATE/LONESTAR BLUES REVUE will<br />
be the backing band for the featured artists with Mark Hummel<br />
acting as Master of Ceremonies and Band Leader.<br />
Blues Supergroup Mark Hummel Golden State - Lone Star<br />
Blues Revue, featuring Grammy-nominated Harp Blower/<br />
Vocalist/ Bandleader Mark Hummel with guitar legend Mike<br />
Keller - guitar (Fabulous Thunderbirds/Marcia Ball/The Keller<br />
Brothers), another guitar sensation Rusty Zinn (Jimmy Rogers,<br />
Kim Wilson), drummer Wes Starr and bassist RW Grigsby<br />
is an all-star cross country melding of California musicians<br />
Hummel and Grigsby with Texans Funderburgh, Keller and<br />
Starr. Golden State - Lone Star Blues Revue's self-titled debut<br />
album (Electro-Fi Records/April 2016), was recorded by Kid<br />
Andersen at the famed Greaseland Studio in San Jose, CA, and<br />
co-produced by Funderburgh & Hummel.<br />
MARK HUMMEL<br />
Harmonica man/singer/songwriter/<br />
bandleader/author/impresario mark<br />
hummel was born in New Haven, CT but<br />
moved to Los Angeles as a newborn.<br />
Hummel took up an interest in blues<br />
harp & rock-blues music in high school<br />
but soon discovered the originators like<br />
Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson &<br />
Little Walter. Soon after, Hummel frequented the Ash Grove club<br />
on Melrose Ave. in LA where he saw (in a three month period)<br />
three blues legends he would later work with on a regular<br />
basis; Charlie Musselwhite, Brownie McGhee (w/Sonny Terry) &<br />
James Cotton. By 1985, Mark Hummel's Blues Survivors hit the<br />
road full time and continue till the present (Hummel's memoir,<br />
Big Road Blues: 12 Bars on I-80 recounts many road exploits).<br />
In 2014 Blind Pig Records released Remembering Little Walter<br />
(a recording of a Hummel Blues Harp Blowout). The CD was<br />
nominated for a Grammy Award and won two Blues Music<br />
Awards. Hummel's latest CD is the brand new all instrumental<br />
HarpBreaker, with GSLS on some of it.<br />

ANSON FUNDERBURGH<br />
Long time Golden State/Lonestar Blues<br />
Revue guitarist Anson Funderburgh was<br />
born in 1954 in Plano, Texas where the<br />
youngster first picked up the guitar in<br />
high school and was hit by the blues bug<br />
through Jimmy Reed Lightnin' Hopkins.<br />
By 1978 he had started Anson and<br />
the Rockets with vocalist/harmonica<br />
player Darrell Nulisch with the group being signed to Black Top<br />
Records a couple of years later. In 1986 Nulisch was replaced<br />
by Blind Sam Myers who stayed with the group until his death<br />
in 2006. The Rockets went on to win ten Blues Music Awards<br />
(formerly known as the W.C. Handy Blues Awards). It was widely<br />
regarded as the highest honor for blues artists in the United<br />
States. Funderburgh has played with Delbert McClinton (and<br />
joins his Sandy Beaches Cruise every year), Boz Scaggs, Snooks<br />
Eaglin, Earl King and Jimmy Buffet. Funderburgh is also the<br />
inspiration for Beavis of Beavis and Butthead as Mike Judge, the<br />
creator of those characters, worked as a Rocket for three years.<br />
MIKE KELLER<br />
Mike grew up in a musical family, his<br />
parents were musicians and his father<br />
played jazz, soul and rock in local bands<br />
around the Fargo area. Growing up he<br />
was influenced by Hendrix and Stevie<br />
Ray Vaughan and through them learned<br />
about the masters of the blues. Some of<br />
Mike's influences include Kenny Burrell,<br />
Freddie, Albert and B.B. King, Otis Rush and Jimmy Reed and<br />
later the slide techniques of Elmore James, Earl Hooker and<br />
Robert Nighthawk. These influences are apparent in his guitar<br />
playing which is pretty amazing! After getting an offer to play<br />
with Double Trouble (and becoming the first guitaist since Stevie<br />
Ray Vaughn), he moved back to Texas. "I did the Double Trouble<br />
gig for about two and half years, then played with Doyle Bramhall<br />
for four years, Marcia Ball for a year and a half, and then got the<br />
call to join the Fabulous Thunderbirds.<br />
Rounding out the GOLDEN STATE-LONE STAR BLUES REVUE<br />
are RW GRIGSBY on bass & famed Austin, Texas drummer WES<br />
STARR. Between these two old Rome, GA natives, they've played<br />
with a who's who of famed musicians - Omar & the Howlers,<br />
Junior Brown, Jimmy Vaughan, Asleep At The Wheel, Gary<br />
Primich, Kim Wilson, Mike Morgan, Carlene Carter, Hal Ketchum,<br />
Earl King, James Cotton and many more!<br />

Wizard of Oz simply to please children. He first adapted it to<br />

have been produced over the years. Baum was born to<br />
a wealthy oil family in 1856 and endured many financial<br />
failures, including a chain of theaters, a small variety store<br />
and a newspaper. He wrote 14 tales, creating a series about<br />
the enchanted land of Oz prior to his death in 1914. Several<br />
other authors continued the magical saga, creating a 40<br />
volume series. It is estimated that Baum’s best-loved tale of<br />
Dorothy’s journey through the world of Oz has entertained<br />
audiences totaling more than one billion people throughout<br />
the world.<br />
HAROLD ARLEN (Composer) and E.Y. HARBURG (Lyricist) hold<br />

score and songs which are as fresh and meaningful today as<br />
they were when this classic film fable was first introduced in<br />
1939. From the poignant Academy Award-winning jolly bell<br />
ringer, “Ding! Dong! The Witch is Dead!,” Harburg and Arlen<br />
take the music-lover and the fairy-tale-fancier down the<br />
yellow brick road to adventure, enchantment, laughter and<br />
some warm whimsical comments on the human condition.<br />
It’s a story, a message, a sheer magic which delights each<br />

Manhattan Project, Sister Mary Explains It All. Television: “The<br />
Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” (head writer), “The Dick<br />
Cavett Show” (head writer/co-producer). He has published in<br />
The New York Times, The New Yorker, Playboy and other periodicals<br />
and was the 2006 recipient of the Writers Guild of America’s<br />
Ian McClellan Hunter Lifetime Achievement Award. Jersey<br />
Boys, his first venture into musical theatre (with co-author<br />
Rick Elice), won four Tony Awards including Best Musical. The<br />
Addams Family, his second theatrical venture (also with Rick),<br />
ran over 700 performances on Broadway and had national and<br />
international tours. Upcoming projects include musicals about<br />
Roy Rogers and the Woodstock Festival of 1969.<br />
RICK ELICE (Book) co-wrote Jersey Boys (winner 2006 Tony<br />
Award, 2007 Grammy Award and 2009 Olivier Award for Best<br />
Musical) with the great Marshall Brickman. His play, Peter and<br />
the Starcatcher, received nine 2012 Tony Award nominations<br />
(including two for Rick), won five (more than any play of the season),<br />
and is one of the most produced plays in North America.<br />
Also on Broadway, Elice wrote The Addams Family (with Marshall<br />
Brickman, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa), which also<br />
had productions on tour across North America and in Europe<br />
and South America. Getting ready for Broadway in the fall<br />
of 2018, The Cher Show, directed by Jason Moore. Heartfelt<br />
thanks to those whose work in the theater makes him grateful<br />
for the day he was born: Sondheim, Stoppard, Bennett, Prince,<br />
Fosse, Robbins, Nichols, Tune, Nunn, Laurents, Stone, Kushner,<br />
Taymor, Papp, Schumacher, Schneider, David, Strong, Gaudio,<br />
Valli, McAnuff, Trujillo, Seller, Suarez, Moore, Gattelli, Coyne,<br />
Brickman, Timbers and, eternally, Roger Rees. Rick thinks<br />
about them a lot. He never thought about Jersey much. He does<br />
now.<br />
BOB GAUDIO (Composer) wrote his first hit, “Who Wears Short<br />
Shorts,” at 15, for the Royal Teens, and then went on to become<br />
a founding member of The Four Seasons and the band’s principal<br />
songwriter. He also produced the hit “You Don’t Bring Me<br />
Flowers” for Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand (Grammy<br />
nomination, Record of the Year) as well as six albums for<br />
Diamond, including The Jazz Singer. Other producing credits<br />
include albums for Frank Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross,<br />
Michael Jackson and the soundtrack for the film of Little Shop<br />
of Horrors. Several songs co-written with Bob Crewe have<br />
been cover hits for such artists as the Tremeloes (“Silence<br />
Is Golden”), the Walker Brothers (“The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine<br />
Anymore”) and Lauryn Hill (“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”). With<br />
his wife, Judy Parker, Gaudio produced and co-wrote the Who<br />
Loves You album for The Four Seasons and one of Billboard’s<br />
longest-charted singles (54 weeks), “Oh, What a Night.” A high<br />
point in his career came in 1990 when, as a member of the original<br />
Four Seasons, Gaudio was inducted into the Rock and Roll<br />
Hall of Fame. In 1995, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall<br />
of Fame, which hailed him as “a quintessential music-maker.” To<br />
this day, Bob Gaudio and Frankie Valli still maintain their partnership...on<br />
a handshake.<br />
BOB CREWE (Lyricist). “New York was pregnant in the fifties,”<br />
says Bob Crewe, “gestating with possibilities.” Crewe and music<br />
partner Frank Slay became independent writer-producers when<br />
the category hadn’t yet been invented. In 1957, they wrote and<br />
produced “Silhouettes” for The Rays, which skyrocketed to #1.<br />
Suddenly, producers in demand, they launched Freddie Cannon’s<br />
“Tallahassee Lassie” and Billy & Lillie’s “Lah Dee Da.” Crewe’s<br />
1960’s unprecedented producing success with The Four Seasons<br />
birthed a new sound, striking a major chord in American pop.<br />
“Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Candy Girl,”<br />
“Ronnie” – all smashes! When lead Frankie Valli demanded a<br />
solo turn, Crewe and Bob Gaudio wrote (and Crewe produced)<br />
“Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” which eventually became the<br />
century’s fifth most-played song. Crewe ran hot with artists from<br />
Vicki Carr, Oliver and Lesley Gore to Mitch Ryder, co-writing with<br />
Charles Fox the soundtrack for Jane Fonda’s film Barbarella.<br />
Then his own Bob Crewe Generation exploded with “Music<br />
to Watch Girls By.” In 1972 Bob was in L.A., where he revived<br />
Frankie Valli with “My Eyes Adored You” by Crewe and Kenny<br />
Nolan. They also co-wrote Patti LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade”<br />
(#1, July ’75), which was a hit again on the soundtrack of Moulin<br />
Rouge (#1, June ’01)...David Ritz<br />
DES McANUFF (Director) is a two-time Tony Award-winning<br />
director and former artistic director of the Stratford Festival. He<br />

IN MEMORY<br />
It is difficult to imagine producing anything without the presence of beloved Dodger<br />
family members James Elliot Love and Jean-Michel Quincey. Friends to everyone they<br />
met, James and Jean-Michel stood at the heart of all that is good about the theatrical<br />
community. They will be missed, but their spirits abide.<br />

ARTIST BIO<br />
KALANI PE‘A<br />
Kalani Pe'a sings everything from classical, musical, ballads,<br />
R&B, soul and, of course, Hawaiian music, displaying his<br />
wide-ranging talents as a songwriter and music composer. It<br />
started at age four when Pe'a was diagnosed with a speech<br />
impediment; his mother Pua Leonard “introduced my son to<br />
singing and music to help him pronounce his words.” Leonard<br />
and Pe'a’s father Arthur (Ata) Pe'a, who comes from a musical<br />
family, encouraged Kalani to take vocal lessons and choir. By<br />
the time he was 8 years old, Pe'a was winning numerous talent<br />
competitions statewide.<br />
At age 18, he won Brown Bags to Stardom, and won first place<br />
in the National Association Teachers of Singing Competition<br />
in Colorado/Wyoming chapter, in men’s classical and musical<br />
divisions, while a student at Colorado Mesa University<br />
(Mesa State College), where he received his degree in Mass<br />
Communications. “From speech therapy to being a college<br />
graduate in communications,” noted Pe'a’s father with humor,<br />
“Kalani can’t stop talking and singing.”<br />
In the process of planning his debut album, Pe'a contacted<br />
Dave Tucciarone, a 13-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-Winning<br />
Engineer and Producer based in Honolulu. “I had to travel every<br />
weekend from Maui to meet Dave for seven months, and just<br />
sing my heart out,” Pe'a noted. The hard work paid off with the<br />
2017 Grammy® win, followed by his first Na Hoku Award. This<br />
successful collaboration continued with Kalani’s second CD,<br />
No ‘Ane‘i [We Belong Here], garnering rave reviews and a <strong>2019</strong><br />
Grammy Nomination. Raves award-winning vocalist Darlene<br />
Honolulu Magazine quoted Kalani relating to his Hawaiian<br />
cultural foundation: “From a Hawaiian perspective, we don’t<br />
believe in just Kūlia I ka Nu’u, striving for the highest mountain<br />
and you get to the top and that’s the end. We continue to soar<br />
and continue to climb. In Hawaiian, we call it ‘akahi a ho’omaka,<br />
the beginning of every journey. We don’t believe there’s a start<br />
and finish line, like a marathon. This is just the start for me, even<br />
though I’ve been singing for nearly 30 years.”<br />
BAND<br />
AIAU KOA, guitar, is known for his performances with many of<br />
Hawai‘i’s leading artists, including Keali‘i Reichel and Kalani<br />
Pe‘a. He is also an instructor and practitioner of the martial<br />
arts style of Ai Pilau Kenpo, drawn to its heart and soul that<br />
exemplifies the spirit of "ohana" or family.<br />
KALANI MILES, guitar, was raised in Hawai‘i among many<br />
diverse cultures, including his own Samoan background. An<br />
accomplished guitarist, he has come to appreciate various<br />
genres of music, old and new, traditional and contemporary.<br />
WAILAU RYDER, bass, was born on O‘ahu but grew up in the<br />
Puna region of the Hawai‘i Island. One of his major influences<br />
was his aunt, the well-known musician and Hawaiian educator<br />
Lei'ohu Ryder. He is also a gifted vocalist and slack key guitarist.<br />

IMPERFECT DANCERS COMPANY<br />
ANNE FRANK — WORDS FROM THE SHADOWS<br />
Thursday, January 31, <strong>2019</strong>; 7:30 pm<br />
IMPERFECT DANCERS COMPANY brings to ANNE FRANK<br />
-WORDS FROM THE SHADOWS, an inspirational tribute to a young<br />
woman’s life, spiritual strength and humanity in the midst of the<br />
darkest time in the 20th century: the Second World War. This<br />
work of extraordinary beauty and grace honors the memory<br />
of Anne Frank whose touching story has moved and inspired<br />
generations all over the world. This special tribute was created<br />
to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of Anne Frank’s<br />
arrest and deportation. The powerful and moving production<br />
begins after the liberation of Auschwitz. Anne’s father, the only<br />
survivor of the Frank family, returns to the Secret Annex where<br />
he receives his daughter’s diary from Miep Gies. While reading<br />
it, he discovers aspects of her personality that he did not expect.<br />
He relives their absconding and the tragic events that followed.<br />
ABOUT THE SHOW<br />
ANNE FRANK: Words from the Shadows<br />
The diary of Anne Frank invites us to think about the dark period<br />
in our history, seen through the eyes of an adolescent. It warns<br />
of the dangers of intolerance. This theme is still relevant today,<br />
because we are still disturbed by anything that deviates from<br />
our own opinions of what is “good” or “normal.”<br />
"It is impossible to understand certain things," said Primo Levi,<br />
writer and Auschwitz survivor "but it is necessary to be aware,<br />
and it is our duty to keep their memory alive." Asked whether the<br />
story of Anne Frank is more important than that of the millions<br />
of other victims, Levi replied: "One single Anne Frank moves us<br />
more than the countless others who suffered just as she did but<br />
whose faces have remained in the shadows. Perhaps it is better<br />
that way; if we were capable of taking in all the suffering of all<br />
those people, we would not be able to live.”<br />
"Anne Frank, parole dall'ombra" ("Anne Frank, Words From<br />
the Darkness") is dedicated to Anne Frank, and was made to<br />
commemorate the seventieth anniversary of her arrest and<br />
deportation.<br />

ABOUT THE DANCE COMPANY<br />
IMPERFECT DANCERS COMPANY was founded by Walter<br />
Matteini and Ina Broeckx in January 2009. Since its inception,<br />
this eight-strong contemporary dance company has proven<br />
tirelessly creative as it evolves, expands its repertoire, and<br />
delights audiences with its sensitive, original and compelling<br />
performances. In doing so, it has secured its rightful place in<br />
the artistic landscape.<br />
The source of that creativity and what makes the company so<br />
uniquely different is its conscious diversity. As dancers and<br />
human beings we all start from imperfection constantly striving<br />
for the unattainable; individual and collective perfection. It is this<br />
paradox that is encapsulated in the company’s name.<br />
In this pursuit of excellence and precision, IMPERFECT DANCERS<br />
COMPANY sets ever-higher standards and pushes itself to<br />
new pinnacles of achievement. In just five years, the Company<br />
has regularly toured throughout Europe [Germany, France,<br />
the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, Belgium], and has taken its<br />
passionate and intensely physical repertoire to Africa, South<br />
America, Canada, the US, the Festival de danse de Cannes,<br />
Benefit Gala for the Alzheimer Stuttgart, Tanz-Tage Festival<br />
Regensburg, Kultur Tempel Festival Karlsruhe, Chutzpah<br />
Festival Vancouver, Cali International Dance Festival, Visa2Dance<br />
Tanzania, just to name a few. ImPerfect Dancers Company has<br />
been the resident dance company of the Pisa Opera and Ballet<br />
Theatre in Italy since the 2011 season.<br />
Artistic Director Walter Matteini is a rapidly rising star of the<br />
European contemporary scene. His work is deeply human<br />
and accessible, energetic and emotional, and pushes past<br />
conventional interpretation and breathes fresh life into music<br />
and stories which inspire him.<br />
Co-Director and Co-Choreographer Ina Broeckx, a native of<br />
Belgium, has had an extraordinary career throughout Europe<br />
and is the Company’s costume and set designer as well as one<br />
of the dance members. “Our choreographic language is intensely<br />
physical and athletic, and hinges on our quest to explore and<br />
understand the human soul in all its different facets. Our work<br />
seeks to create an emotional connection with the audience.<br />
While we usually draw inspiration from history and literature,<br />
our choice of themes is always guided by careful consideration of<br />

continued<br />
severe factors: the cultural depth, the potential to be developed<br />
in an original and modern fashion, the artistic interest and<br />
the emotions they evoke. When we translate our ideas into<br />
movement we always start with the music and then the sole<br />
purpose is to convey emotion.”<br />
Mix brilliant dancers from around the world, the deep passion of<br />
Italy and the vision of one of the great emerging choreographers<br />
of the century. The result is the perfection of IMPERFECT<br />
DANCERS COMPANY, the most sought-after troupe from one of<br />
the world’s most inspired landscapes.<br />
are now accustomed to seeing violence. It has become difficult<br />
to distinguish reality from fiction. Terrible events do not shock<br />
us as they should. This interaction with the soldiers catapults<br />
the audience into the historical period.<br />
Scene 3 – Traditional Jewish music “Improvisation”<br />
From the darkness of the stage the sound of a violin slowly<br />
emerges, silencing the soldiers. As the musician is lit, the<br />
audience can see him, dressed in his ''stripped pajamas''. While<br />
he plays, the stage lights slowly reveal the secrets the stage<br />
holds. There is a striking contrast between the violence and the<br />
brutality of the soldiers and the purity and beauty of the music.<br />

to succumb. She urges Anne to go without her, but Anne does<br />
not want to leave her. Margot dies and Anne, now left alone, also<br />
surrenders to death.<br />
On the left side of the stage: the group of families, some of the<br />
members with their backs to the audience (i.e. those who are<br />
already dead). Still alive, facing the audience, are Peter, Auguste<br />

their death march. In the end, Anne lies down on the lifeless<br />
body of her sister and dies. Then Auguste turns her back to the<br />
audience, followed by Peter, as the both slip into death. Otto is<br />
the only survivor.<br />

He has finished reading the diary. Anne gave her words to the<br />
world – words that have remained in the shadows until now. She<br />
is free at last. The audience witnesses a fictitious, hypothetical<br />
farewell between Otto and Anne. The farewell that never took<br />
place. The farewell of a young girl who has not had time to live<br />
her life.<br />

TRACY BYRD -TBYRD25: THE TOUR<br />
Tuesday, February 5, <strong>2019</strong>; 7:30 pm<br />
of these single's reached the Top Five on the Charts. It was at this same<br />
time that TNN Outdoors recruited Byrd as the TV Host of their Weekend<br />
Outdoor Broadcast. Tracy, a well known outdoorsman, was perfect for<br />
the job and continued his hosting responsibilities for three years.<br />
At this point in his career, Tracy Byrd, was looking for a change in labels,<br />
but still was under contract with MCA Records who were preparing<br />
a release of Keepers: Greatest Hits containing all the hit's from Byrd's<br />
catalog of songs. The album quickly earned another Gold Record award<br />
for Byrd but he was trying to persuade MCA to let him out of his contract<br />
so he could pursue a different direction. MCA finally allowed Byrd out<br />
of his contract and he quickly signed with RCA Records and got to work<br />
on a new project, It's About Time that would be released in November of<br />
1999 and would reach the top 10 quickly with the single "Put Your Hand<br />
In Mine." Byrd has said that this album is the most Traditional Album he<br />
ever released and therefore his favorite.<br />
Tracy Byrd became a household name on the Country Music Scene<br />
in 1993 when his third single, called "Holdin' Heaven," off of his MCA<br />
Records, self-titled debut album, hit #1 on the Billboard Country Charts.<br />
The album also included the remake hit of Johnny Paycheck's "Someone<br />
to Give my Love to" cementing Byrd as a Traditional Country Troubadour!!<br />
The Debut Album went on to be certified Gold, a reward signifying sales<br />
in excess of 500,000 copies.<br />
Byrd's second project, No Ordinary Man, kept building on the momentum<br />
the first album created. The first radio single from it called "Lifestyle's<br />
of the Not so Rich and Famous" reached #4, followed by another top five<br />
hit, "The First Step," then with the release of the smash, chart topping<br />
hit "Watermelon Crawl" the second album crossed the half million sales<br />
mark and certified Gold. The realease of the 4th and last single on this<br />
project moved Byrd to the top of both the Billboard Album and Singles<br />
charts. The song was called "The Keeper of the Stars" and it shot to #1<br />
on the singles charts and pushed the album to Double Platinum Status,<br />
which certifies sales of over two million copies. "The Keeper of the Stars"<br />
won Academy of Country Music's "Song of the Year" award in 1995.<br />
His third studio album, Love Lesson, is one of Tracy's favorites. It included<br />
the title track, another top five hit single for Byrd, also included were the<br />
top 15 singles, "Walking to Jerusalem" and "Heaven in My Woman's<br />
Eyes", Byrd's personal favorite. A 4th top 15 single was released called<br />
"4 to 1 in Atlanta" which Byrd performed live on the David Letterman<br />
Show. The "Love Lesson's" album also certified Gold.<br />
Big Love became Byrd's fourth studio album with it's release in the fall<br />
of 1996. It spawned two more top five singles with the release of the<br />
title track and "Don't Take Her She's All I've Got" The video's of both of<br />
these songs reached the top of CMT's Video Chart's and also earned<br />
Byrd his first TNN television special titled Tracy Byrd's Big Love on which<br />
Byrd invited guests Johnny Paycheck, Mark Chesnutt, and Asleep at the<br />
Wheel. The album Big Love became Tracy's fourth consecutive Studio<br />
Album to be certified Gold. Tracy said that this meant more to him than<br />
anything because he knew Fans weren't just listening to his hit songs<br />
on the radio, they were laying down their hard earned money to own a<br />
copy of their own and that was flattering.<br />
The fifth project on MCA was titled, I'm From the Country. The CD also<br />
contained a Beautiful Ballad called "I Wanna Feel That Way Again" Both<br />
Tracy Byrd crossed into the new Millineum with the release of his<br />
album 10 Rounds. It took off on the release of a duet with his longtime<br />
hometown buddy and hero Mark Chesnutt. The song was called "A Good<br />
Way to get on my Bad Side" and was a milestone for Byrd to finally get<br />
to record with his good friend. Then came the release of the party song<br />
of the year, "10 Rounds with Jose Cuervo" which shot to the top of the<br />
Billboard Charts to notch Byrd's third #1 single. He also hit the top 10<br />
with his spanish guitar flared "Just Let Me be in Love."<br />
Next came The Truth About Men, which first released the title track which<br />
was a comedic look at what men are really like. It was a team effort<br />
with Tracy's buddies Blake Shelton, Andy Griggs, and Troy and Eddie<br />
of Montgomery Gentry lending their talents to the song and the video.<br />
This album also released the top five smash "The Drinkin' Bone" which<br />
became a crowd favorite sing along song.<br />
Byrd was then moved to BNA Records, the sister label of RCA, and they<br />
released his second Greatest Hits project, another feat that not many<br />
artists experience, two Greatest Hits projects!!! It debuted in the top five<br />
of the album charts and became Byrd's sixth Gold Album, and sent him<br />
to over six million records sold!!!<br />
Byrd then left the major label and released an album on his own,<br />
appropriatelly titled Different Things. Although this project was not<br />
commercially successful, it garnered Byrd his highest critical acclaim<br />
of his career with Billboard magazine choosing it as one of their Top 10<br />
Country Albums of the Year!!!<br />
Through all of these years, Byrd became a promoter favorite on the road,<br />
performing over 4000 exciting shows across the United States, Canada,<br />
Mexico, Europe, and Australia from 1992 until 2009! He then say's he<br />
needed a break to take care of himself and his most precious thing, his<br />
family, wife Michelle, daugter Evee, and sons Logan and Jared, who<br />
had taken a backseat to his career for years. He did not perform from<br />
2010-2013, but in 2014 he got back to the music with a new band and a<br />
new found sobriety and love of the thing he enjoys so much. Say's Byrd,<br />
"These day's my life has great balance, with my music being a part of it,<br />
not all of it. I can honestly say I have never enjoyed it more!!"<br />
Byrd went back in the studio in June of 2016 and started work on his first<br />
project in 10 years. Recorded completely in Tyler, Texas at Rosewood<br />
Studios, that album is appropriatelly titled, All American Texan, which is<br />
exactly what he is and has always been. This album features eight tracks<br />
written by Byrd, a fact he is very proud of. The album was released in<br />
October of 2016 and has been very well received by his fans and critics<br />
alike.<br />

RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET<br />
COMPANY of 50<br />
Artistic Director: Elena Radchenko<br />
The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded in Moscow<br />
during the transitional period of Perestroika in the late 1980s,<br />
when many of the great dancers and choreographers of the<br />
Soviet Union's ballet institutions were exercising their newfound<br />
creative freedom by starting new, vibrant companies<br />
dedicated not only to the timeless tradition of classical Russian<br />
Ballet but to invigorate this tradition as the Russians began to<br />
accept new developments in the dance from around the world.<br />
The company, then titled the Soviet National Ballet, was<br />
founded by and incorporated graduates from the great Russian<br />
choreographic schools of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Perm.<br />
The principal dancers of the company came from the upper<br />
ranks of the great ballet companies and academies of Russia,<br />
and the companies of Riga, Kiev and even Warsaw. Today, the<br />
Russian National Ballet Theatre is its own institution, with over<br />
50 dancers of singular instruction and vast experience, many of<br />
whom have been with the company since its inception.<br />
In 1994, the legendary Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko<br />
was selected by Presidential decree to assume the first<br />
permanent artistic directorship of the company. Ms. Radchenko<br />
is the founder of the Russian National Ballet Theatre, and she<br />
has focused the Company on upholding the grand national<br />
tradition of the major Russian ballet works and developing new<br />
talents throughout Russia, with a repertory of virtually all of the<br />
great full works of Petipa: Don Quixote, La Bayadere, The Sleeping<br />
Beauty, Swan Lake, Raymonda, Paquita, Coppelia and La Sylphide,<br />
as well as productions of, among others, The Nutcracker, Sylvia,<br />
and La Fille Mal Gardee.<br />

Cinderella is left alone and has sad dreams of the royal ball.<br />
Suddenly the room is filled with light, and in front of Cinderella,<br />

radiant with Cinderella and her beautiful dress. The enchanted<br />
prince can not take his eyes off her. He invites the beautiful<br />
stranger to dance and Cinderella and the Prince dance oblivious<br />
to anyone around them. But suddenly we hear the chimes of<br />

RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET: GALA PROGRAM continued<br />
The Rose Adagio from Act I of Sleeping Beauty<br />
Choreography by: Marius Petipa<br />
Music by: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky<br />
The Sleeping Beauty, a ballet in a prologue and three acts with<br />
choreography by Marius Petipa, had its first production in 1890<br />
at the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg. In the last quarter of the<br />
nineteenth century, ballet on the Imperial Russian stage had sunk<br />
to a very low level artistically. The director of the Imperial Theatres,<br />
Ivan Vsevolojsky, a talented and cultured man, was determined to<br />
raise the artistic level on all counts, and as a first step he approached<br />
the composer Tchaikovsky to supply him with a ballet score. Owing<br />
to the slight success in Moscow of his previous attempts at ballet<br />
music (Swan Lake), it is not wholly surprising to find Tchaikovsky<br />
insistent on having minute and detailed instructions from the<br />
choreographer himself. These he followed slavishly, down to the<br />
exact number of bars required in a given scene or variation. This<br />
seems to have inspired his imagination for the resulting enchanting<br />
score remains possibly his best ballet music.<br />
The "Rose Adagio" of Act I of The Sleeping Beauty is one of ballet’s<br />
most iconic set pieces. The scene takes place at the beginning of the<br />
ballet at Princess Aurora's sixteenth birthday party. Celebrations are<br />
already underway: the atmosphere is festive and Princess Aurora<br />
receives her four royal suitors and their gifts of exquisite roses. The<br />
music and choreography by which Princess Aurora is presented to<br />
her four suitors is instantly recognizable as the Dance of the Little<br />
Swans in Swan Lake or the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker.<br />
The key fact about the Rose Adagio is its technical difficulty. After<br />
a sparky allegro entrance, the ballerina has to steady herself for a<br />
series of unsupported balances, taking off from each of her four<br />
princes in turn as Tchaikovsky's music builds up to an expectant<br />
climax around her. Marius Petipa (1818-1910), served as ballet<br />
master of the Imperial Theatre in St. Petersburg from 1862 to 1903,<br />
where he choreographed such classics as Don Quixote, The Sleeping<br />
Beauty, Raymonda and Le Corsaire. His work is considered one of the<br />
greatest achievements of ballet history.<br />
The Quatre<br />
Music by: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky<br />
Choreography by: Elena Radchenko<br />
While Tchaikovsky is known for his composition of several glorious<br />
pas de deux’s in his prolific ballet works, little is known about<br />
his non-excerpted pas de deux. In this sensational display, Elena<br />
Radchenko has taken two of those pas de deux’s and choreographed<br />
them into a mélange of pure beauty and elegance.<br />
The Ocean and the Pearls from The Little Humpbacked Horse<br />
Music by: Cesare Pugni<br />
Choreography by: Saint- Léon<br />
Arthur Saint-Léon's 1864 ballet Le Petit cheval bossu, ou La Tsar-<br />
Demoiselle ("The Little Humpbacked Horse, or The Tsar Maiden")<br />
was based on Pyotr Yershov's celebrated poem "Konyok-gorbunok,",<br />
meaning "Hunchback Horse" and composed for the Imperial<br />
Ballet (today the Kirov/Mariinsky Ballet). The work premiered on<br />
December 13, 1864 at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in<br />
St. Petersburg, Russia. The ballet was a massive success, with<br />
its fantastical tableaux set on an enchanted Isle of mermaids,<br />
or another set in a magical Under-water world. The ballet's<br />
final act included a Grand divertissement celebrating the many<br />
peoples of the Russian Empire. Cesare Pugni's music was equally<br />
successful, and was heard at Imperial Balls for decades thereafter.<br />
The resoundingly successful premiere was attended by Emperor<br />
Alexander II. The ballet lived on for many years in the repertory of<br />
the Imperial Ballet and the Kirov Ballet, and of the Bolshoi Theatre<br />
in Moscow in a version by Alexander Gorsky (1901). Marius Petipa<br />
revived the ballet in 1895 as The Tsar Maiden for the Ballerina Pierina<br />
Legnani. Alexander Radunsky choreographed his own version to a<br />
score by Rodion Shchedrin for the Bolshoi Ballet in 1960, a version<br />
which was filmed in 1961 with Maya Plisetskaya as the Tsar Maiden<br />
and Vladimir Vasiliev as Ivanushka. In 2009, Alexei Ratmansky<br />
choreographed a new version for the Mariinsky (Kirov) Ballet, also<br />
using Shschedrin's score.<br />
A version of Saint-Léon's original was filmed in 1989 for Russian<br />
television with graduates from the Vaganova Academy of Russian<br />
Ballet in the lead roles. The film included narrated sections and<br />
illustration from a popular 1964 Russian version of Yershov's book,<br />
Cinderella, Act III: Adagio<br />
Music by: Sergei Prokofiev<br />
Choreography by: Rostislav Zakharov<br />
In Act III, Cinderella remembers the Ball as if it were a beautiful<br />
dream, but finds the remaining glass slipper in one of her pockets.<br />
She quickly hides it as the Stepsisters return, proudly displaying<br />
the oranges the Prince gave them. The Stepmother announces<br />
the arrival of the Prince with his Jester and courtiers in search<br />
of the owner of the glass slipper they bear with them. Each of the<br />
Stepsisters in turn vainly tries to squeeze an oversized foot into the<br />
tiny slipper. When the Prince notices Cinderella sitting shyly by the<br />
fire, he asks her father if she may try it on. As she moves to do so,<br />
the second slipper falls from her pocket. The Prince is overjoyed in<br />
spite of Cinderella's ragged appearance, and asks her to marry him.<br />
Cinderella forgives her Stepmother and sisters for their previous<br />
cruelty to her.<br />
As the Prince returns the glass slipper to the Fairy Godmother, the<br />
kitchen is transformed into a magic glade where Cinderella and her<br />
Prince dance a romantic pas de deux. The guests return to acclaim<br />
their new Princess at her betrothal.<br />
Adagio from Romeo and Juliet<br />
Music by: Sergei Prokofiev<br />
Choreography by: Elena Radchenko<br />
The ballet closely follows Shakespeare’s tragedy. There is an<br />
emphasis on the social conflict between the two feuding families<br />
from disparate social classes who are reconciled over the tombs<br />
of the two lovers. This pas de deux is from the famous scene<br />
where Juliet dreams of Romeo outside on her bedroom balcony.<br />
He appears below in the garden. They declare their eternal love for<br />
one another before the lovers reluctantly part.<br />
Grand Pas de deux from Act III of Don Quixote<br />
Choreography by: Alexander Gorsky<br />
Music by: Leon Minkus<br />
The full-length ballet of Don Quixote concentrates on the love affair<br />
between Kitri and the barber Basil from Volume Two of Cervantes'<br />
masterpiece. The characters of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza<br />

RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET: GALA PROGRAM continued<br />
merely serve as a thread to link the various scenes of the ballet. This<br />
striking pas de deux performed by Kitri and Basil takes place during<br />
their wedding festivities, and is one of the most famous dances for its<br />
flair and stamina. After a bold, lyrical entrance, the ballerina and her<br />
partner dance a sustained duet followed by an engaging, diamondlike<br />
variation for her and a spectacular solo for him. A joyous climax<br />
is reached with her famous fouettés (quick whipping movement of the<br />
raised leg while turning on the other) and his tours a la seconde (turns<br />
on one leg with the other raised and extended throughout).<br />
Pas de Quatre<br />
Music by: Cesare Pugni<br />
Choreography by: Anton Dolin<br />
"Pas de Quatre" was originally choreographed at the suggestion<br />
of Benjamin Lunley, by Jules Perrot in 1845, with music by Cesare<br />
Pugni at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. In the nineteenth century,<br />
ballerinas were worshiped, even idolized. Their salaries were the<br />
equivalent of what is paid to star athletes today. They developed<br />
enormous egos and had feuds with their rivals. It was a real feat for<br />
Benjamin Lumley to get Marie Taglioni, Carlotta Grisi, Fanny Cerrito,<br />
and Lucile Grahn to dance together, and Perrot to choreograph. Of the<br />
great dancers of that time, only Fanny Elssler did not participate. The<br />
first performance of "Pas de Quatre" sent critics into a frenzy. Perrot<br />
had the difficult task of making each ballerina look her best.<br />
An additional challenge was the order in which they were to appear<br />
with the last solo as the best spot. The manager, Benjamin Lumley,<br />
solved the problem by suggesting that they dance according to age<br />
— the youngest first and the oldest last. Suddenly everyone wanted<br />
to be first, but it was decided that Grahn would lead, followed by Grisi,<br />
then Cerrito and, finally, Taglioni. Only four performances were given<br />
with the original cast. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were in the<br />
audience at the third performance.<br />
In 1941 Anton Dolin re-choreographed the ballet for Ballet Theatre<br />
and in 1949 for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. I saw this ballet with<br />
Alicia Markova in the role of Taglioni, Mia Slavenska as Grisi, Alexandra<br />
Danilova as Cerrito, Nathalie Krassovska (and later Gertrude Tyven) as<br />
Grahn. Many, many dancers have danced this ballet since.<br />
Fokine employed the music of Le Cygne from Saint-Saens's Le<br />
Carnival des Animaux. The dance, evoking the final struggle for the life<br />
of a dying bird, became particularly identified with Pavlova. It remains<br />
one of the most famous solo dances ever created, representing for<br />
many the very essence of ballet dancing.<br />
Selections from Paquita<br />
Choreography: Joseph Mazilier/Marius Petipa<br />
Music: Leon Minkus<br />
Paquita is one of the most celebrated displays of technical fireworks<br />
from the old Imperial Russian Ballet. Marius Petipa made a series of<br />
revisions to the famous French ballet Paquita when he was balletmaster<br />
in St. Petersburg, the most important being in 1881 when he<br />
inserted a trio and Grand Pas to new music by Ludwig Minkus as a<br />
showcase for the considerable talents of his ballerinas at that time.<br />
These gems of Petipa’s choreography have been treasured in Russia<br />
ever since and remain wonderful examples of his genius. Paquita was<br />
originally staged at the Paris Opera in April 1846. The first Paquita was<br />
Carlotta Grisi. A year after its creation it was staged in St. Petersburg,<br />
where Marius Petipa danced the leading role – his first steps on a<br />
stage to which he would devote the rest of his long career in Russia.<br />
As chief ballet-master in St. Petersburg, Petipa revived the ballet in<br />
1881 for his favored ballerina, Yekaterina Vazem, and with the new<br />
music by Ludwig Minkus, he created the dazzling Grand Pas, which<br />
was revived by Pyotr Gusev for the Bolshoi Ballet.<br />
The ballet takes place in Spain during the Peninsular War and tells<br />
of a Gypsy girl, Paquita, who saves the life of Lucien, and officer<br />
in Napoleon’s army, from a plot to murder him. Lucien’s father, a<br />
French general, wants his son to marry Dona Seraphina, daughter<br />
of the Spanish Governor, but the Governor looks at the proposed<br />
alliance with disdain and bribes the Gyspy King Idigo to kill the<br />
young Frenchman. Idigo offers Lucien a glass of drugged wine, but<br />
Paquita, who knew about the plot, changes the glasses. When hired<br />
assassins enter the Gypsy’s hut, Paquita and Lucien escape. Lucien<br />
approaches his father and introduces Paquita during a ball. The<br />
Governor is arrested and Paquita discovers that she is a daughter of<br />
noble parents, and thus she is able to marry Lucien.<br />
Allegro<br />
Choreography: Vitaly Zabelin<br />
Music: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky<br />
Tchaikovsky’s last symphony, nicknamed “Pathetique,” which in<br />
Russian translates to “passionate” or “emotional,” was composed<br />
between February and August of 1893. Tchaikovsky conducted its<br />
debut in St. Petersburg on October 28, 1893, nine days before his<br />
death (it is said that five days after he conducted his final symphony,<br />
he drank a glass of unboiled water, which was the cause of many<br />
cholera cases in St. Petersburg at the time, although some refute that<br />
it was an accidental death). The choreographer for this work is also a<br />
member of the company, and sets the music to the third movement<br />
from Tchaikovsky’s famous symphony.<br />
Dying Swan<br />
Music by Camille Saint-Saens<br />
Choreography by Michel Fokine<br />
Originally choreographed for the great ballerina Anna Pavlova and<br />

A NEW WAY FOR MEMBERS TO GIVE:<br />
PERPETUAL MEMBERSHIP GIFTS<br />
The <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s new Perpetual Membership Gift Program<br />
allows you to give monthly using a credit card. Your monthly<br />
contribution will be ongoing until you let us know that you would like<br />
to change or cancel your membership. Perpetual Membership Gifts<br />
provide uninterrupted support to the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> for the Arts, with the<br />
added benefit that your membership is always current.<br />
Have questions? Please call the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> Ticket Office Monday-Saturday from<br />
noon-6:00pm at (916) 608-6888.<br />
The <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> for the Arts operates under the auspices of the<br />
Los Rios Community College District, a nonprofit public educational<br />
organization. Membership is tax deductible to the extent permitted<br />
under the law. Fair market value of benefits provided may affect the<br />
portion of your membership which is tax deductible; please consult<br />
your tax advisor. Membership benefits are good for one year from the<br />
date of activation. Additional membership contributions within the<br />
same year may increase your benefit level.<br />
If you are making a gift through a Charitable IRA rollover, Qualified<br />
IRA Charitable Distribution or a gift from a Donor Advised<br />
Fund please contact Sally Howard with the Folsom Lake College<br />
Advancement office as these funds cannot be used to fulfill<br />
membership payments and restrictions may apply:<br />
howards@flc.losrios.edu or (916) 608-6643.<br />

HARRIS CENTER SUPPORTERS<br />
MAKE GREAT SHOWS COME TO LIFE<br />
WAYS TO SUPPORT THE HARRIS CENTER FOR THE ARTS!<br />
Whether you give through our membership program or make a donation beyond membership, your generosity supports the<br />
<strong>Center</strong>’s mission to bring the best in the performing arts to the region. Your philanthropic support makes possible the many<br />
services and programs the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> for the Arts provides and are typically eligible for tax deductions.<br />
MEMBERSHIP<br />
Over 500 fans of the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> support the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong><br />
each year through the Membership program. Memberships<br />
come with a variety of special benefits that may reduce the<br />
deductibility of one's gift. See the opposite page for more<br />
information on the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> Membership Program, or<br />
contact Kathleen Leavitt with <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> Membership<br />
Services: (916) 608-6851 or kathleen.leavitt@<strong>Harris</strong><strong>Center</strong>.net<br />
NAME A SEAT<br />
Your legacy, in your words. Make a statement with your favorite<br />
seat — or your favorite person’s favorite seat — and put some<br />
personality into a customized plaque. On top of your $1000<br />
donation being 100% tax-deductible, you'll support bringing<br />
great shows, up close, to the entire region. Name a seat<br />
donations are deposited in the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s Endowment<br />
Fund. Larger naming opportunities exist as well.<br />
OTHER DONATIONS<br />
Donors making outright gifts with no expectation of tangible<br />
benefits see 100% of their contribution support <strong>Harris</strong><br />
<strong>Center</strong> services and programs. Undesignated gifts provide<br />
valuable general operational support, while designated gifts<br />
can support a special program like Youth Arts or an area of<br />
particular interest to the Donor.<br />
SPONSOR A PROGRAM<br />
Assure that your favorite artist or art form is presented on<br />
stage, while also receiving visibility in the community and/<br />
or access to other valuable sponsor benefits. See page 57 for<br />
information about Corporate Sponsorships.<br />
PLANNED GIVING & THE CIMAROLI SOCIETY<br />
Named in honor of long time Folsom residents and<br />
philanthropists Sevy and Neva Cimaroli, the Cimaroli Society<br />
recognizes those interested in leaving a legacy for future<br />
generations to enjoy and experience artistic work, celebrate<br />
cultural traditions, and participate in the creative process.<br />
Legacy gifts strengthen the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s endowment,<br />
provide much-needed annual income, and support our<br />
extraordinary mission to build community and enrich the lives<br />
of people throughout California’s capital region. By including<br />
the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> in your long-term plans, you can achieve<br />
the goals that are important to you – benefiting yourself, your<br />
family, and an institution that you value and believe in.<br />
In addition to a bequest in your will, there are other ways<br />
you may make a legacy gift. For example, you can name the<br />
<strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life<br />
insurance policy. If you are looking for a way to supplement<br />
your income, you can establish a charitable gift annuity, or a<br />
charitable remainder trust, which are gifts that will support<br />
the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> and pay you, and/or other designated<br />
beneficiaries, income for life.<br />
OTHER WAYS TO GIVE<br />
Gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and employer<br />
matching gifts can apply to a membership or to a donation<br />
with no benefits.<br />
A Charitable IRA rollover, Qualified IRA Charitable<br />
Distribution and gifts from Donor Advised Funds can be used<br />
to provide support to the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> for non-membership<br />
gifts such as endowment contributions, youth arts programs<br />
and/or general operating support, but cannot be used to fulfill<br />
membership payments (because donors are not permitted<br />
by law to receive privileges or benefits in exchange for this<br />
form of giving).<br />
For more information on Donations and Other Ways to Give,<br />
contact the Folsom Lake College Advancement office at<br />
916-608-6643 or howards@flc.losrios.edu<br />

Committee<br />
The <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> Arts Committee<br />
supports the <strong>Harris</strong> <strong>Center</strong> through<br />
fundraising and advocacy. This group<br />
of dedicated volunteers help support<br />
the <strong>Center</strong>’s mission to bring the best in<br />
the performing arts to Folsom and the<br />
surrounding region.<br />

Volunteers<br />
A Key Part of the Team<br />
More than 1,500 volunteers help to keep<br />
the <strong>Center</strong> running smoothly. Last year<br />
alone, volunteers contributed nearly<br />
35,000 hours as gallery docents, ushers<br />
and office assistants, and community<br />
ambassadors—helping patrons to have an<br />
outstanding arts experience. They are a<br />
key part of the <strong>Center</strong>’s success—it literally<br />
could not operate without their support.<br />
