FROM THE U-M PRESIDENT
@@@@W
elcome to the 128th season of the University Musical Society (UMS)! All of us at the University of Michigan are proud of UMS, the oldest university-related performing arts presenter in the United States and one of the most distinguished. Earlier this year, UMS was named one of only three university presenters in the United States to receive a major grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation in the inaugural year of the foundation's new Leading College and University Presenter Program. The University is pleased to support UMS not only in its regular 200607 season programming but in this fall's third residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company, an exclusive presentation taking place October 24-November 12 only in Ann Arbor.
It is an exciting time for the arts at Michigan. Earlier this year there were the four Grammy awards for the recording of Professor William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience featuring 450 musicians, most of them U-M students, and produced on the Hill Auditorium stage by UMS and the U-M School of Music, Theatre, & Dance. This fall marks the groundbreaking for the Maxine and Stuart Frankel and the Frankel Family Wing of the U-M Museum of Art, and this coming spring will see the opening of the Arthur Miller Theatre in the new Walgreen Drama Center. I hope to see many of you at these historic events.
Thank you for attending this UMS performance. Please join us this year for other UMS events and for performances, exhibitions, and cultural activities offered by our faculty and students in the University's many outstanding venues.

FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
@@@@W
elcome to this UMS performance. I hope to see you at more UMS events during this exciting 128th season. You'll find all of our events, including the 21 performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company in their third Ann Arbor residency this fall, listed on P29.
Volunteers are at the heart of UMS's success and among our most active, committed, and generous volunteers are the UMS Board of Directors. Over the summer we bade farewell to three outstanding members, welcomed five new members, and selected officers for the coming season.
Debbie Herbert, Jan Barney Newman, and Gil Omenn each served two three-year terms with distinction and now become members of the UMS Senate, which is the "alumni association" for retired UMS Board members. A highly qualified class was elected to three-year Board terms beginning July 1: arts educator Lynda Berg, physician Al Dodds, community leader Ellie Serras, auto dealer Joe Sesi, and dance educator Tony Smith. UMS Board members attend up to seven Board meetings a year, serve on various committees, participate in many UMS events, con?tribute generously, and provide leadership to the organization in many ways. The Board officers for the 200607 season include returning Chair Clayton Wilhite, Vice Chair Carl Herstein, and Treasurer Michael Allemang. Cynthia Dodd succeeds retiring Secretary Jan Barney Newman. For a complete list of UMS Board and Senate members, see P14.
It's wonderful to have you with us for this performance. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions or problems. If you don't see me in the lobby at this performance, please send me an e-mail message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174.
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President
Very best wishes.

AN INVITATION FROM UMS CHAIRMAN, CLAYTON WILHITE
How Two Gifts from You in 0607 Can Produce Four for UMS. Yes, the Math Works.
L
ast year in this space, I discussed the significant positive impact your donations can have on the fiscal health of UMS. So, before I explain the miraculous headline, I want to report that your generosity last year did, indeed, have impact. UMS reached both its annual and endowment fund goals, thereby achieving critical financial milestones in a bumpy economic climate.
From all of us at UMS, enormous thanks to those of you who made that possible.
Now let's focus on the headline and the message behind it--one so fundamentally necessary to our 0607 goals.
Let me lay out the rationale behind my claim and see if it makes sense for you.
Fact 1--UMS has a modest endowment. It must be increased signifi?cantly: first, because the cost of distinctive, high quality, sometimes "adventuresome" programming requires it; second, because the new reality is that UMS operates in an increasingly erratic arts funding environment. Corporate, government, University of Michigan, and foundation giving have each experienced wide funding fluctuations in the last 24 months. Insulating UMS from these vagaries is a high endowment priority.
Fact 2--Endowment monies not withstanding, UMS history is replete with examples of the lifeblood role that annual giving by thousands of generous individuals has played in building the UMS reputation over the last 127 seasons. Your annual gifts are the most essential component of a solvent UMS. Thus it has been and thus it shall always be.
Fact 3--UMS, for the first time, is a full participant in a University of Michigan fund-raising campaign. The "Michigan Difference" (you easily could substitute, "UMS") campaign presents UMS with a highly visible once-in-a-lifetime window to address our annual giving and endowment needs simultaneously as never before.
Now, let's turn the corner and relate all this to you--in particular, to our audiences of five, 10, 20, or 40 years standing who, conceivably, have both the means and the motivation to consider two gifts to UMS this season:
Continuing a personally meaningful annual fund commitment and
Inaugurating a "UMS Difference" endowment commitment in the form of a one-time cash gift, a multi-year cash pledge, or a bequest.
If this notion is beginning to strike a chord, let me offer one final, compelling motive to complete my case. Thanks to two great American philanthropic organizations. The Wallace Foundation and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, UMS is poised to receive $1.5 million in additional matching endowment funds if we can raise $2 million on our own. While achieving this level would still leave us well short of our ultimate endowment goals, what a jump-start the $3.5 million would give us. (Conversely, if we don't raise the full $2 million, we also lose that portion of the grant as well).
The endowment match opportunity is in place for the entire 0607 season. To bring things down to a very personal, individual level, every dollar you give to endowment generates an additional $1.50 from the foundations.
Never in UMS history have we had this amount of leverage working for us at one time.
So, can we ask you to give to UMS twice in 0607 Once to the annual fund and once more to the endowment
For some who already are stretched with their annual fund gift, the answer may be "no." Nevertheless, we thank you for that critical contribution. As I said earlier, there would be no UMS without you.
For others, in particular those who are experiencing the joy of being over age 40, many years of rewarding UMS performances combined with financial circumstances will produce a "yes"--knowing that when you give, Wallace and Duke will each give as well.
The quite magical result of your generosity Two gifts from you produce four gifts to UMS and protect our future for generations to come!
For more information on both giving options, please contact the offices of Susan McClanahan, Director of Development, at 734.647.1177 or visit our website at www.ums.org and click on "Make a Gift."

Listening Systems
For hearing-impaired persons, Hill Auditorium, Power Center, and Rackham Auditorium are equipped with assistive listening devices. Earphones may be obtained upon arrival. Please ask an usher for assistance.
Lost and Found
For items lost at Hill Auditorium, Power Center, or Rackham Auditorium please call University Productions at 734.763.5213.
Parking
Please allow plenty of time for parking as the campus area may be congested. Parking is available in the Church Street, Thayer Street, and Fletcher Street structures for a minimal fee. Limited street parking is also available. Please allow enough time to park before the performance begins. UMS members at the Principal level and above receive 10 compli?mentary parking passes for use at the Thayer Street or Fletcher Street structures in Ann Arbor.
UMS offers valet parking service for Hill Auditorium performances in the 0607 Choral Union series. Cars may be dropped off in front of Hill Auditorium beginning one hour before each performance. There is a $20 fee for this service. UMS members at the Producer level and above are invited to use this service at no charge.
Other recommended parking that may not be as crowded as on-campus structures: Liberty Square structure (formerly Tally Hall), entrance off of Washington Street between Division and State. About a two-block walk from most per?formance venues, $2 after 3 pm weekdays and all day SaturdaySunday; and in the Maynard Street structure for a minimal fee.
For up-to-date parking information, please visit www.ums.org.
Refreshments
Refreshments are available in the lobby during intermissions at events in the Power Center, in the lower lobby of Hill Auditorium (beginning 75 minutes prior to concerts entering through the west lobby doors), and in the Michigan Theater. Refreshments are not allowed in the seating areas.
Smoking Areas
University of Michigan policy forbids smoking in any public area, including the lobbies and restrooms.
Start Time
UMS makes every effort to begin concerts at the published time. Most of our events take place in the heart of central campus, which does have limited parking and may have several events occurring simultaneously in different theaters. Please allow plenty of extra time to park and find your seats.
Latecomers
Latecomers will be asked to wait in the lobby until seated by ushers. Most lobbies have been outfitted with monitors andor speakers so that latecomers will not miss the performance. The late-seating break is determined by the
artist and will generally occur during a suit?able repertory break in the program (e.g., after the first entire piece, not after individ?ual movements of classical works). There may be occasions where latecomers are not seated until intermission, as determined by the artist. UMS makes every effort to alert patrons in advance when we know that there will be no late seating.
UMS tries to work with the artists to allow a flexible late-seating policy for family performances.
Returns
If you are unable to attend a concert for which you have purchased tickets, you may turn in your tickets up to 15 minutes before curtain time by calling the Ticket Office. Refunds are not available; however, you will be given a receipt for an income tax deduc-
tion. Please note that ticket returns do not count toward UMS membership.

UMS HISTORY
@@@@T
hrough a commitment to Presentation, Education, and the Creation of new work, the University Musical Society (UMS) serves Michigan audiences by bringing to our community an ongo?ing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 127 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted community has placed UMS in a league of internationally recognized perform?ing arts presenters. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this new millennium. Every day UMS seeks to culti?vate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
UMS grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first perform?ance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879, and this glorious oratorio has since been performed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
As a great number of Choral Union mem?bers also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December 1880. UMS included the Choral
Union and University Orchestra, and through?out the year presented a series of concerts fea?turing local and visiting artists and ensembles.
Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts--internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and

theater. Through educational endeavors, com?missioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies, and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction, and innovation. UMS now hosts over 60 performances and more than 125 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that this year gathers in five differ?ent Ann Arbor venues.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organiza?tion that supports itself from ticket sales, corpo?rate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, special project support from U-M, and endowment income.
UMS CHORAL UNION
@@@@T
hroughout its 127-year history, the UMS Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orchestras and conductors. Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 175-voice Choral Union is known for its defini?tive performances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Fourteen years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO). The chorus has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
Led by Grammy Award-winning Conductor and Music Director Jerry Blackstone, the UMS Choral Union was a participant chorus in a rare performance and recording of William Bolcom's
Songs of Innocence and of Experience in Hill Auditorium in April 2004 under the baton of Leonard Slatkin. Naxos released a three-disc set of this recording in October 2004, featuring the Choral Union and LJ-M School of Music ensembles. The recording won four Grammy Awards in 2006, including "Best Choral Performance" and "Best Classical Album." The recording was also selected as one of the New York Times "Best Classical Music CDs of 2004."
The current 0607 season includes further collaborations with the DSO, including Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Rafael Frubeck de Burgos, conductor) and John Adams's On the Trans?migration of Souls (John Adams, conductor). Further performances include Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13 ("Babi Yar") with the Kirov Orchestra of St. Petersburg (Valery Gergiev, conductor), the Verdi Requiem with the Ann Arbor Symphony (Arie Lipsky, conductor), and the 128th annual performances of Handel's Messiah in Hill Auditorium in December (Jerry Blackstone, conducting).
The 0506 season included collaborations with the DSO in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Mahler's Symphony No. 3, and a concert per?formance of Rossini's opera Tancredi. The 127th annual performances of Handel's Messiah took place in Hill Auditorium in December. The season was further rounded out by performances of the Vaughan Williams' Sea Symphony with the U-M School of Music's Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jerry Blackstone, and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 2 with the Kirov Orchestra of St. Petersburg, conducted by Valery Gergiev.
Participation in the UMS Choral Union remains open to all students and adults by audition. For more information about the UMS Choral Union, please call 734.763.8997 or e-mail choralunion@umich.edu.
VENUES AND BURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
Hill Auditorium
After an 18-month $38.6-million dollar renova?tion overseen by Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. and historic preservation architects Quinn EvansArchitects, Hill Auditorium re-opened to the public in January 2004. Originally built in 1913, renovations have updated Hill's infra?structure and restored much of the interior to its original splendor. Exterior renovations include the reworking of brick paving and stone retaining wall areas, restoration of the south entrance plaza, the reworking of the west barrier-free ramp and loading dock, and improvements to landscaping.
Interior renovations included the demolition of lower-level spaces to ready the area for future improvements, the creation of additional rest-rooms, the improvement of barrier-free circulation by providing elevators and an addition with ramps, the replacement of seating to increase patron comfort, introduction of barrier-free seating and stage access, the replacement of theatrical performance and audio-visual systems, and the complete replacement of mechanical and electrical infrastructure systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Hill Auditorium seats 3,575.
Power Center
The Power Center for the Performing Arts grew out of a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage theater for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most productions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre was too small. The Power Center was built to supply this missing link in design and seating capacity.
In 1963, Eugene and Sadye Power, together with their son Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University, and amidst a list of University priorities "a new theater" was men-
tioned. The Powers were immediately interested, realizing that state and federal governments were unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theater.
Opening in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Truman Capote), the Power Center achieved the seemingly contradictory combination of providing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features included two large spiral staircases leading from the orchestra level to the balcony and the well-known mirrored glass panels on the exterior. The lobby of the Power Center presently features two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes (Arabesque) by Pablo Picasso.
The Power Center seats approximately 1,400 people.
Arbor Springs Water Company is generously providing complimentary water to UMS artists backstage at the Power Center throughout the 0607 season.
Rackham Auditorium
Fifty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including University Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium, Newberry Hall, and the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will estab?lished the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund, which subsequently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School which houses Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate studies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambi?tious ever given to higher-level education, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
Designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci, Rackham Auditorium was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. In 1941, UMS presented its first chamber music festival with the Musical Art Quartet of New York per?forming three concerts in as many days, and the current Chamber Arts Series was born in 1963. Chamber music audiences and artists alike appreciate the intimacy, beauty, and fine acoustics of the 1,129-seat auditorium, which has been the location for hundreds of chamber music concerts throughout the years.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In June 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appointed pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Seventeen years later ground was broken to build a permanent church building, and on
March 19, 1969, John Cardinal Dearden dedi?cated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father James McDougal was appointed pastor in 1997.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church has grown from 248 families when it first started to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 900 people and has ample free parking. In 1994, St. Francis purchased a splendid three manual "mechanical action" organ with 34 stops and 45 ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec. Through a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision to the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building, and the reverberant sanctuary has made the church a gathering place for the enjoyment and contemplation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, Burton Memorial Tower is one of the most well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor landmarks. Completed in 1935 and designed by Albert Kahn, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet.
UMS administrative offices returned to their familiar home at Burton Memorial Tower in 2001, following a year of significant renova?tions to the University landmark.
This current season marks the sixth year of the merger of the UMS Ticket Office and the University Productions Ticket Office. Due to this partnership, the UMS walk-up ticket window is conveniently located at the Michigan League Ticket Office, on the north end of the Michigan League building at 911 N. University Avenue. The UMS Ticket Office phone number and mailing address remains the same.

t is a great pleasure to welcome you, the audi?ence members, back to Ann Arbor's beloved performance venues and to an exciting new UMS season. Everyone on the UMS staff never forgets that our jobs are ultimately in service to audiences and artists. For 127 years, UMS perform?ances and educational programs have created countless moments of connection between them. It is in these "moments of connection" where we find real joy in our work...and so it begins again!
At the beginning of any season I am often asked, "What's new this year at UMS" or,
"What events this season should I not miss" I am understandably coy about answering the latter question because I firmly believe that there is artistic merit and cultural rele?vance embedded in every?thing included on any given UMS roster. BUT, when pressed, I can offer
that this fall, I am especially excited about Alice Coltrane's tribute to her late husband John on what would have been his 80th birthday; Valery Gergiev's continuation of his Centennial Shostakovich Celebration with his Kirov Orchestra; the Florestan Trio's return to Rackham Auditorium; and the long-awaited return of the London Philharmonic Orchestra to Hill Auditorium. Of course, there is no need to enunciate the excitement and thrill surrounding the mounting of a third, exclusive US residency by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
To the first question of "what's new", I say, "a lot!"
-A series of performances focusing on artists from Mexico and greater Latin America, opening with the colorful pageantry and historic music and dances of Amalia Hernandez' Ballet Folkl6rico de Mexico. They come to Ann Arbor straight from their home in Mexico City before starting a tour of North America. In addition to the artists from Mexico, don't miss the performers
from Cuba, French Guiana, Haiti, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile also sched?uled throughout the entire season as part of this program focus.
A new UMS website which I encourage you to visit at www.ums.org. Hours of staff time have gone into researching and developing a much-expanded online world of information about UMS: programs, artist profiles, ticket specials, sound and video clips, podcasts, iTunes playlists, and study guides. I am most excited about a feature called "Everyone's a Critic" where all audience members now have a say in critiquing UMS performances in their own words. We hope to create a community of online opin? ion and response in which we can all participate. It should be informative, interesting, and, I hope, at times, controversial.
A stream of artists making debut appearances on UMS stages: Alice Coltrane, Jonathan Biss, Cuarteto Latinoamericano, Marian McPartland and Bill Charlap, Big 3 Palladium Orchestra, Stephen Petronio Company, Time for Three, Gilberto Gil, Rahim AlHaj and Souhail Kaspar, Pablo Ziegler and Claudia Acufia, David Krakauer, Los Folkloristas, and the Netherlands Bach Society.
Thank you for participating in the UMS experience. Feel free to drop me a line at mkond@umich.edu if you have questions or suggestions. Here's to a successful, thought-provoking, and happy 128th season!
Sincerely,
Kjz4asC_

Matachines
The Matachines is a dance performed in the Northern part of Mexico City. This dance is inspired by the customs of Pre-Hispanic people who danced exclusively to worship their gods. The Spanish Conquest brought with it Medieval dances that since the 16th century in Mexico were used in Christian ceremonies. This is the his?tory of the Matachines dance, which has been preserved to this day.
Sones de Michoacan
Michoacn is one of the culturally richest states in Mexico. It is recognized for producing fine folk art such as ceramics, weaving, wood carving, lacquer work, and copper work. Therefore it isn't surpris?ing to note that Michoaccin is also well known for its unique repertory of ancient song and dance.
The ballet begins with a party in a village where dances are performed in front of a flow?ered arc, a common decoration for this type of celebration. The brief but striking selection of dances begins with three rattle dancers, or sonajas, which reveal their hybrid Indo-Spanish origin by the constant use of a rattle, an instrument almost invariably used in Pre-Hispanic times to mark the rhythms of all dances. These dances are followed by the jarabes, classic examples of that style which has developed in different regions of Mexico with rapid steps full of gaiety and hope.
Sones de Michoacan is the first "folk ballet" composed by Amalia Hernandez. In this ballet she tried to present her love of Mexican culture and her love of youth.
Zacatecas
From the northern region of central Mexico, rich with gold and silver mines, we present dances and songs not only with Spanish influence from the Conquest, but with a French and Austrian fla?vor brought by the troops of Emperor Maximilian of Hasburg who came to Mexico in the 19th cen?tury. The movements consist of the following:
The March of Zacatecas The Red One
The Blue Birds The Gorgoros The Diggers
This dance tells about the brave and decisive fight held in Zacatecas, where Francisco Villa defeated the Federal Government.
Charreada
Charreada consists of the following two move?ments:
The Rope Dance Country Love Dance
Tlacotalpan Festivity
January 31 marks the celebration of the Candelaria Virgin in the town of Tlacotalpan. Stages are built in the main square where musicians and dancers dance to fandangos. This celebration is characterized by the use of the Mojigangas, enormous puppets that symbolize different cul?tural figures and archetypal human characteristics. The music is characterized by the sound of drums such as congas, common in the festive carnival season of the Caribbean. The "festivity" consists of the following:
The Dance of the Fisherman
El Sisquisiri
Jarochos, musicians from Veracruz
La Morena
The Cuckcoo Bird
The Fan Dance
El Coco
La Bamba
La Sarna

INTERMISSION
The Feather Dance
This ballet is inspired by the ancient tradition of the Zapotecas, an indigenous group in Mexico who pays respect or gives Guelaguetza, an offer?ing, to important or high-ranking officials through their music and dance. The most spectacular of these regional dances is TVie Feather Dance, which requires great technical prowess in order to manipulate the richly adorned feather headdress?es. The state of Oaxaca also has another welcom?ing dance entitled Jarabes, originally attributed to the indigenous state of Mixteca. These welcom?ing dances, with their light and lyrical steps are performed to the accompaniment of a typical vil?lage band.
The Danzon and the Jarana
The danzon is a traditional urban dance that com?bines many different rhythms such as La Habanera or Cuban rhythm and other typical Mexican dance rhythms.
The danzon is a product of many cultures in Mexico and brings many influences from Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. Without a doubt it is the dance of the pueblo. It came to Mexico via the state of Yucatan and its popularity spread throughout the Gulf Coast creating the first Mexican danzones such as El Gran Danzon Nereidas.
The Mexican love of this rhythm persists and is evident since the time that the Salon Mexico welcomed it in the capital as well as in other dance halls throughout the country.
Jarana
It was inevitable that the implementation of many different musical and dance traditions classified generally as "Spanish" among the distinctive tra?ditions of Pre-Columbian Mexico should produce an endless range of different styles in present-day Mexican music and dance. One of the most inter?esting of these mixtures occurs in the Yucatan. There, the exotic exuberance of the Caribbean influence, visible in Vera Cruz, has been largely ignored. Instead the great dignity of ancient Mayan traditions has amalgamated with the
music of 17thand 18th-century Spanish dances such a Jota. Zapateado, and above all, the Sarabande. The dances of the Yucatan preserve the courtly elegance of early-Spanish dance and acquire certain exotic (though always restrained) overtones. The sternness and aristocratic severity of Mayan artistic tradition has led Spanish music in a direction contrary to that taken by similar music in Vera Cruz or the Huasteca.
Wedding in the Huasteca
On the day of his wedding, a young rancher finds a beautiful, young Indian girl and cannot resist the temptation of romance with her. Meanwhile, at the Village church, the bride begins the prepa?rations for their wedding. When the groom finally arrives, the couple begins a dance and all the neighbors join in and court her. In the midst of the general gaiety, her groom's rival arrives. In sec?onds the happiness of the celebration disappears as the two men get hold of their machetes and fight until the rival dies. The party continues, as is tradition in that region. The bride and groom finally leave for the church in total splendor but leave behind the mourners in the plaza who are the only memory of the fight and death of the rival.
The Deer Dance
The Yaqui People, who have a reputation as excellent hunters, have managed to be the only indigenous culture to preserve their cultural autonomy in the face of Spanish colonialism. Free from any racial mingling and modern cultures, the Yaquis continue hunting with bows and arrows, cultivating the land according to their ancestor's methods, and celebrating their ritual dances with hermetic fervor. The Deer Dance is part of a rite that is organized in preparation for a hunt. It reproduces the hunt with astonishing fidelity.
Jalisco
The state of Jalisco is the land of the Charms, the Chinas, and the Mariachis. Since the last century
it has become a symbol of Mexican nationality. The Charms of Jalisco are known for their high spirits and joyous grasping of life. Jalisco's folklore captures the soul of Mexico in its sensual music, refined dances, and dazzling costumes. For this reason, the Ballet Folkl6rico de Mexico culminates every performance with this ballet. It opens with a Mariachi parade playing lively sones at the start of a fiesta. In the background is the traditional gazebo found in all the provincial plazas of Mexico. During this colorful fiesta, the songs and dances of Jalisco: The Snake, El Tranchete, La Negra, and El Jarabe Tapatio--the famous Mexican Hat Dance--are performed. At the end of the performance the dancers salute the audi?ence by throwing colorful paper streamers to them.

n 1952, dancer and choreographer Amalia Hernandez founded the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, having embarked at a very early age on a never-ending quest to rescue the dancing traditions of Mexico. This vital search came from a basic need to express (not only in Mexico, but in the rest of the world) the beauty of the universe in motion through dances from the Pre-Colombian era, to the Hispanic Vice royal period, to the popular movement of the Revolutionary years.
In 1952, Ms. Hernandez began to garner recognition as a cultural representative of Mexico for her early works. In these works, the present fades before our eyes and we begin a journey into the past. The Lords of Heaven and Earth come back to life, as well as the Jaguars and the Gods born of man. Thirty different cultures that blos?somed in centuries past leave behind a trail of color and tradition from which Amalia Hernandez
was inspired to create the Ballet Folkl6rico de Mexico.
A weekly government-sponsored program on Mexican television aired the Ballet's initial per?formances. During these first few years, the com?pany achieved a degree of international success that has been maintained for over 50 years and has succeeded in disseminating the rich traditions and folklore of Mexico all over the world.
Beginning in the 1970s, Amalia Hernandez and Ballet Folklorico de Mexico created over 40 ballets for upwards of 70 dancers. The music, technical rigor, elaborate costuming, and Ms. Hernandez' choreography in these works have created a singular character, defining the Ballet Folkl6rico de Mexico.
Since 1959, the company has been perma?nently housed at the Palace of Fine Arts, the fore?most stage for the arts in Mexico City. The insti?tution has two main artistic companies called The First Company and the Resident Company: both alternate tours and performances in Mexico and abroad.
The company has currently given over 5000 performances, and both Amalia Hernandez and the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico have been distin?guished with more than 200 awards recognizing their artistic merits.

or more than five decades, the Coltrane name remains at the forefront of modern music. It is lauded throughout the US as well as internationally where it has received great acclaim. The musical offerings cover an eclectic variety of artistic expressions recorded on ABC Impulse, Warner Bros., and Impulsel-Universal.
Alice Coltrane was born and raised in the religious family of Solon and Anne McLeod in Detroit, Michigan, hailed as a major musical capi?tal and a creative wellspring of jazz. Ms. Coltrane became interested in music and began her study of the piano at the age of seven. She consistently and diligently practiced and studied classical music. Subsequently, she enrolled in a more advanced study of the music of Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Stravinsky, and Tchaikovsky. Classical music was an extensive, technical study for many years. Subsequent to the completion of her stud?ies, she said, "The classical artist must respectful?ly recreate the composer's meaning...with jazz music, you are allowed to develop your own cre?ativity, improvisation, and expression. This greatly inspires me."
Ms. Coltrane graduated Detroit's Cass Technical High School with pianist Hugh Lawson and drummer Earl Williams and was offered a scholarship to the Detroit Institute of Technology; however, her musical achievements began to
echo throughout the city, to the extent that she played in many music halls, choirs, and churches for various occasions and programs. Her skills and abilities were highly enhanced when she began playing piano and organ for the gospel choir and for the junior and senior choirs at her church. In later years, she would further her musical attrib?utes by including organ, harp, and synthesizer to her accomplishments.
After moving to New York in the early 1960s, Alice met and married John Coltrane, the great creator of avant-garde music and genius and master of the tenor and soprano saxophones. His parents were very spiritual and dedicated to service in the church in which John's father faith?fully served. John's mother was a fine singer.
Ms. Coltrane was asked to join Mr. Coltrane's band--replacing McCoy Tyner--one year later. She stayed with his band until Mr. Coltrane's death in 1967; on his albums Live at the Village Vanguard Again and Concert in Japan, her playing is characterized by rhythmically ambiguous arpeggios and a pulsing thickness of texture.
Alice Coltrane later led a series of groups and recorded fairly often for Impulse!, including the celebrated albums Monastic Trio, Journey in Satchidananda, Universal Consciousness, and World Galaxy. She then moved to Warner Brothers where she released albums
such as Transformation, Eternity, and her live opus Transfiguration in 1978.
A devotee of Swami Satchidananda, Ms. Coltrane withdrew from a per?forming career in the late-1970s so that she might devote herself to the Vedanta Center in California, of which she is its founder.
Ms. Coltrane began recording again in 2000 and eventually issued the crit?ically lauded Translinear Light on the Verve label in 2004, produced by her son Ravi.
The innovative, futuristic sounds of the Coltrane musical heritage have set a new pace for modern music that sounded an unstruck chord through-

out the world. It resounded in the hearts of many people, creating a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. The vision they shared became a bright effulgence from the lighthouse of polyphonic, ethereal, and universal sound, bringing clarity and understanding of the music and enhancing appre?ciation of it to people around the world

avi Coltrane, tenor and soprano saxo?phonist, bandleader, and composer, has fronted a variety of jazz lineups; recorded critically acclaimed albums as leader; produced recordings by other artists--including for his mother; worked as sideman for jazz luminaries; overseen important jazz reissues; and founded an independent record label. Seventeen years since finding his life's path, it seems music was Ravi's destiny from the outset.
Born the second son of John and Alice Coltrane in 1965 in Long Island, New York, and raised in the Los Angeles area, he was named after Indian sitar legend Ravi Shankar. Starting in middle school, Ravi began playing clarinet, though he grew up hearing a variety of music:
My mother was playing piano and organ in the house, everyday. She took us to her per?formances and to recording sessions. She played my father's LPs and recordings of classical music. Early on, I listened to a lot of R&B, soul music, popular music of the day.... Later I got into Prince, The Beatles; I listened to more symphonic music: Stravinsky, Dvorak. I was a big fan of film scores. Jazz music was something I always appreciated but I had to reach my late teens and go through profound family changes before the music became a dominant force in my life.
In 1986, Ravi entered the California Institute of the Arts to pursue musical studies, focusing on the saxophone. In 1991, Ravi hooked up with Elvin Jones, his father's renowned drummer from the 1960s, and received his first taste of the jazz life. Within a year, he relocated to New York City and began playing with a variety of players: Jack DeJohnnette, Rashied AN, Wallace Roney, Geri Allen, Kenny Barron, Joe Lovano, and Steve Coleman. Ravi's relationship with Mr. Coleman through most of the '90s was particularly influen?tial on the saxophonist, including tours and appearances on several of Mr. Coleman's albums.

onight's concert marks Alice Coltrane's UMS debut. It also marks the debut appearances of Ravi Coltrane and Roy Haynes. Tonight's concert marks Charlie Haden's second UMS appearance. Mr. Haden appeared in concert with his Quartet West ensemble in January 2002 augmented by a string section comprised of U-M School of Music students in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
Leading up to this evening's celebration of Mr. Coltrane's musical legacy, UMS recently presented Wynton Marsalis' big band arrangement of John Coltrane's A Love Supreme in January 2006 with Mr. Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in Hill Auditorium.
In 1997, after performing on over 30 record?ings as a sideman, Ravi entered the studio to record his first album as leader.
In 2002, Ravi launched his own recording company, RKM Music, with albums by trumpeter Ralph Alessi and saxophonist Michael McGinnis. That same year, Ravi produced Legacy, a four-disc, thematic study of his father's career, for Verve, and co-produced and penned liner notes for the Deluxe Edition repackaging of A Love Supreme. Ravi continues his role as family archivist of his father's unreleased material and is working close?ly on preparing new projects with Verve.
Most recently, Ravi was the driving and guid?ing force behind his mother Alice Coltrane's return to recording after a 26-year hiatus. Translinear Light features performances by Alice and Ravi along with Charlie Haden, Jack DeJohnette, James Genus, Jeff Watts, Oran Coltrane, and others, and was released in September 2004 on Impulse!.
Shaping his own quartet through a series of recent tours and appearances, February 2005 saw the release of Ravi's fourth album as a leader, In Flux, for the Savoy Jazz label. The recording fea?tures pianist Luis Perdomo, bassist Drew Gress, and drummer E.J. Strickland--his primary work?ing unit since 2003.
In addition to working and traveling with his own group, Ravi has recently made several guest performances with McCoy Tyner, Pharoah Sanders, Carlos Santana, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Michael Brecker, George Duke, Stanley Clarke, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Branford Marsalis, Mark Turner, and Jacky Terrasson.
B
orn in Shenandoah, Iowa, Charlie Haden began his life in music almost immediately, singing on his parents' country & western radio show at the tender age of 22 months. He started playing bass in his early teens and, in 1957, left America's heartland for Los Angeles, where he met and played with such legends as Art Pepper, Hampton Hawes, and Dexter Gordon.
In 1959, Mr. Haden met Ornette Coleman and formed the saxophonist's pioneering quartet (alongside trumpeter Don Cherry and drummer Billy Higgins). In addition to his still-influential work with Mr. Coleman, Mr. Haden has collabo?rated with legendary musicians including John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Keith Jarrett, and Pat Metheny.
In 1969, Charlie Haden joined forces with pianistcomposer Carla Bley, founding the Liberation Music Orchestra. The group's self-titled debut is a true milestone of modern music, blend?ing experimental big band jazz with the folk songs of the Spanish Civil War to create a power?fully original work of musicalpolitical activism.
An acoustic bassist of extraordinary gifts, Mr. Haden's talents as a musician have been in constant demand by his fellow artists. As a result, he has collaborated with a genuinely stunning array of musicians, including Hank Jones, Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Paul Motian, Jack DeJohnette, Michael Brecker, Kenny Barron, and Pat Metheny (with whom he shared a 1997 "Best Jazz Instrumental IndividualSmall Group" Grammy Award for their Beyond the Missouri Sky).
Charlie Haden's love of world music has also seen him teaming with a variety of diverse inter?national players, including Brazilian guitarist and pianist Egberto Gismonti, Argentinean bando-neon master Dino Saluzzi, and Portuguese guitar giant Carlos Paredes. In addition, he has explored diverse streams of American popular music with both his acclaimed Quartet West, as well as on such recent collections as 2002's alliance with Michael Brecker entitled American Dreams.
Mr. Haden, who was invited to establish the jazz studies program at California Institute of the Arts in 1982, has earned countless honors, includ?ing and the Los Angeles Jazz Society prize for "Jazz Educator of the Year," two Grammy Awards (alongside a multitude of nominations), myriad Down Beat magazine readers' and critics' poll winners, a Guggenheim fellowship, four NEA grants for composition, France's Grand Prix Du Disque (Charles Cros) Award, Japan's SWING Journal Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, and the Montreal International Jazz Festival's Miles Davis Award.
D
rummer Roy Haynes has been a major player for more than half a century. Thelonious Monk once described Roy Haynes' drumming as "an eight ball right in the side pocket." Jack DeJohnette calls Roy's percola?tions "a rare combination of street education, high sophistication, and soul." Pat Metheny says Mr. Haynes is the "father of modern drumming" and "a national treasure." Lester Young summed up Roy Haynes' genius best perhaps when the two shared a bandstand in October 1947, exclaiming, "Haynes, you sure are swinging!"
For over 50 years Mr. Haynes has influenced and innovated, shaping some of the greatest recordings in jazz while altering the very fabric and direction of the music's improvisation with his mercurial, intelligent, joyous drumming. Freeing jazz's borders, infusing its lifeblood, steering it towards greater freedom and more distinctive expression, Roy Haynes was designated an "American Jazz Master" by the National Endowment for the Arts.
After engagements with Kai Winding, Roy Haynes was a member of the Charlie Parker quintet (1949-1952) and later was Elvin Jones' occasional substitute with John Coltrane's classic quartet between 1961-1965. When one considers that he has also gigged with Miles Davis, Art Pepper, Horace Tapscott, and Dizzy Gillespie, it is fair to say that Roy Haynes has played with just about everyone.
Mr. Haynes continues to forge new musical paths at age 81.

Divertimento for String Trio in E-Flat Major, K. 563
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Bom January 27, 1756 in Salzburg Died December 5, 1791 in Vienna
This work is definitely one of a kind. It is not only Mozart's only finished composition for string trio--it also appears to be the first such work by any composer. The backbone of classical style is four-part harmony, which is why the string quar?tet became the chamber-music medium of choice during this period. To create a similar balance and fullness of sound with only three instruments was a special challenge, which Mozart met not only by the few double-stops he used but mainly by writ?ing three string parts of uncommon richness and intensity. And if that were not enough, he revisit?ed a genre--the divertimento--which he had much cultivated during the early stages of his career but practically abandoned after his move from Salzburg to Vienna in 1781. The early diver?timentos were scored mostly for orchestra or wind ensemble. In the late 1780s, armed with the experience of the six string quartets dedicated to Haydn and two of the magnificent viola quintets, Mozart had reached a completely new level of writing chamber music for strings, and when he combined that mastery with the lightness of the divertimento form (the word, we remember, means "entertainment"), the results were extraordinary, even by Mozart's standards.
Many of Mozart's earlier divertimentos were in six movements, with the slow movement-min?uet sequence repeated between the two outer Allegros. This form was retained in K. 563, but the movements became longer and more com?plex. If this is still "entertainment," it is no longer music to accompany a banquet or a wedding cel?ebration; it is, much rather, music for an intimate gathering of friends. In fact, Mozart wrote it for his friend and fellow Freemason Michael Puchberg, the man he was desperately asking for money the very same summer of 1788. The trio was probably first performed in the house of this wealthy merchant, perhaps with Mozart on viola.
The work opens in a surprisingly subdued
way, with the three instruments playing a simple descending triad in unison, soffo voce (softly). It is a curiously understated beginning that deter?mines much of what follows, even though the subsequent materials and developments are con?siderably more dynamic in nature. The meditative quality of this opening carries over into the sec?ond-movement "Adagio," which is based on an ascending triad unfolding across a wide melodic range. This triad appears in two strikingly differ?ent forms: first in a simple version, introduced by the cello, and then in an ornate form, played by the violin. How Mozart managed to build one of his most profound musical utterances from this extremely simple melody is a mystery that will never be explained.
The third movement is a minuet where Mozart plays a trick on anyone who would try to dance to this music: the first two measures, though notated in the conventional 34 time of the minuet, really break down into three units of 24. The normal minuet rhythm then resumes, but other irregularities follow as the musical phrases are expanded in many unusual ways.
Next comes a most-compelling set of variations on a simple, folk-like theme. As the variations progress, Mozart gets further and fur?ther away from the original theme, taking more liberties with the form as usual. It is particularly noteworthy how he turns each variation into two variations by introducing new changes at the repeat of each section. After a poignant, even tragic minor-mode episode, the last variation con?tains a highly virtuosic violin part, followed by a coda which recalls the theme in its unadorned original form.
The second minuet is much simpler in tone and structure than the first, but it has not one but two trios, both of which are in the style of the Landler, the Austrian folk dance that would con?tinue to inspire composers after Mozart, from Schubert to Mahler. At the last recapitulation, a lengthy coda is appended to the minuet, devel?oping its thematic ideas in different ways.
The ingratiating theme of the finale is close?ly related to Mozart's song "Komm, lieber Mai" (Come, month of May) and to the last movement
of the Piano Concerto, No. 27. The simple melody undergoes some rather bold transformations, but it all ends gently, with a typically Mozartean ges?ture where the composer appears to be smiling through his tears.
Piano Quartet in g minor. Op. 25
Johannes Brahms
Born May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Germany
Died April 3, 1897 in Vienna
In 1861, the year of the Piano Quartet in g minor, Brahms was a young man of 28, still living in his native city of Hamburg, where he had just given up the directorship of a women's choir to devote more time to composing. Although hailed by Robert Schumann eight years earlier as the next great musical genius, the prophecies had not quite come true yet; in fact, Brahms had suffered a major setback when his Piano Concerto in d minor was poorly received in Leipzig. Breitkopf & Hartel, the prestigious music publishing firm in that city, accepted only one of his works for pub?lication and turned the rest down.
In July, Brahms moved out of the house he had been sharing with his parents, elder sister, and younger brother. He rented an apartment from the aunt of two of his former choir members in the Hamburg suburb of Hamm. It was there that he wrote the two piano quartets (Opp. 25 and 26), the first products of what his biogra?phers would later call his "first maturity." (The g-minor quartet may actually have been begun several years earlier, but it wasn't completed until this time.) In these two large works (each lasting about 40 minutes) he made spectacular advances in terms of harmonic richness and structural com?plexity. Even more important, however, is a widening of the range of moods expressed by the music, from emotional turbulence to boisterous play and all the shades in between.
The g-minor quartet opens with a melody that lacks both rhythmic variety (it is all quarter-notes) and harmony (it is played by the piano in simple octave doubling, or, to be more exact, tripling). Yet it is only a matter of seconds before
the four instruments develop this somewhat aus?tere raw material into a passionate Romantic statement. A warmly lyrical second theme, first announced by the cello, brings total contrast; from then on, moments of intense passion and great tenderness alternate as the movement wends its way through a sonata form of gigantic proportions. The ending is dark: the opening theme is surrounded first by an agitated accom?paniment with unsettling syncopations, and final?ly by an ominous crescendo-decrescendo arc that leaves us in a state of great suspense.
The expansive and contrast-ridden first movement is followed by an "Intermezzo" in c minor. Brahms had originally called this move?ment a "scherzo," but it lacks the playful quality implied by that name, though Brahms did use the A-B-A form characteristic of the scherzo. The new name "Intermezzo," which Brahms used here for the first time, simply means a lyrical mid?dle movement. Viola and muted violin announce the expressive theme against a throbbing accom?paniment in the cello. The trio section, which retains the eighth-note pulsation of the main sec?tion, is slightly more animated in tempo. After the recapitulation, the faster tempo of the trio returns for a short and ethereal coda in C Major.
Next comes an "Andante con moto" in E-flat Major, a lyrical song with echoes of a military march (in 34 time!) as its middle section. In his insightful Brahms monograph, Malcolm MacDonald observes that this double-character piece "some?how resolves the expressive tensions that had shadowed the work until this point, making possible the sheer animal vitality of the finale."
That finale, the celebrated "Rondo alia Zingarese," is in fact the crowning glory of the quartet. It is Brahms's first essay in what was known as the "style hongrois," a characteristic manner imitating the music-making of Hungarian Gypsies. Brahms had been introduced to this style by his two Hungarian violinist friends: first Ede (Eduard) Remenyi, with whom he toured Germany in 1852, and then Joseph Joachim, him?self the author of a "Concerto in Hungarian Style" written the same year as Brahms's quartet. Upon hearing Brahms's "Rondo," Joachim admit-
ted in a letter to his friend: "In the last movement you beat me on my own turf."
Brahms had the wild accents, the impetuous runs, and fiery melodies of the Gypsy fiddlers down pat. Yet he added many spices of his own making to the mix: a superb "orchestration" for four instruments, where the pizzicatos (plucked notes) of the strings and the carefully controlled dynamics contribute a great deal to the general effect. Near the end, a brilliant piano cadenza vividly evokes the sound of the cimbalom, the Hungarian hammered dulcimer. That episode is followed by a slower passage in which the wistful central melody of the "Rondo" is taken up by the string instruments in contrapuntal imitation--cer?tainly not a Gypsy musical practice! But moments such as these only serve as foils to the irresistible Gypsy tunes and, in spite of their more serious appearance, only end up adding to the fun.

enowned for its insightful performances, brilliant artistry, and technical mastery, the Emerson String Quartet is one of the world's foremost chamber ensembles and has amassed an impressive list of achievements: a bril?liant series of recordings exclusively documented by Deutsche Grammophon since 1987, seven Grammy Awards including two unprecedented honors for "Best Classical Album," three Gramophone Awards, and performances in major concert halls throughout the world. The ensemble is lauded globally as a string quartet that approaches both classical and contemporary repertoire with equal mastery and enthusiasm.
In 2006-2007, the quartet celebrates its 30th anniversary season with an eight-concert Perspectives Series in Carengie Hall's Stern Auditorium. The quartet also celebrates 20 years of exclusivity with Deutsche Grammophon and will release an all-Brahms disc. Additional per?formances of note are a Shostakovich cycle at Washington, DCs Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and an extensive European tour including performances in London, Vienna, Berlin,
and Paris, and Beethoven cycles in Valencia and Badenweiler.
The Quartet tours Europe and North America extensively, and serves as Quartet-in-Residence at Stony Brook University, where, in addition to chamber music coaching throughout the academ?ic year, they have conducted intensive string quar?tet workshops in 2004 and 2006 with another planned for 2008. This season marks their third educational collaboration with Carnegie Hall. In March 2004 the Quartet was named the 18th recipient of the 2004 Avery Fisher Prize--another first for a chamber ensemble.
Formed in 1976, the Emerson String Quartet took its name from the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. Violinists Eugene Drucker and Philip Setzer alternate in the first chair position and are joined by violist Lawrence Dutton and cellist David Finckel. Since January 2002, the Emerson has performed while standing--the cellist plays on a podium--and incorporates this practice in all appearances. The Quartet is based in New York City.

hen considering the long and storied career of Marian McPartland it soon becomes apparent that the remark?able breadth and manner of her accomplishments are unsurpassed in the history of jazz. A pianist and composer gifted with a vast, encyclopedic memory and an intuitive sense of harmony, Ms. McPartland has been performing professionally for 65 years, delighting audiences with her engaging artistry in around the world and on scores of recordings. To millions of radio listeners, she is also the genial host of Marian McPartland's
Marian McPartland
Piano Jazz, the popular Peabody Award-winning National Public Radio program which is celebrat?ing its 25th year on the airwaves. Additionally, Ms. McPartland has mentored countless musi?cians, spearheaded efforts in jazz education, and served as one of the best ambassadors of jazz the world has known.
Marian McPartland was born in a small English village near Windsor Castle. A musical prodigy from the time she could sit at the piano, she studied classical music, mastered the violin, and worshipped jazz, taking Duke, Teddy Wilson, and others to heart while looking to Mary Lou Williams, Lil Hardin, and Hazel Scott as trailblazers.
A pivotal moment in the young pianist's life came in 1944 while entertaining British and American troops in Belgium when she met Jimmy McPartland, a prominent Dixieland-style cornetist from Chicago (and 11 years her senior). The two musicians fell in love and the following year they were married at a military base in Germany. After the war, Jimmy McPartland brought his young wife to Chicago, where the couple worked until they moved to Manhattan in 1949. Louis Armstrong greeted them on their first day in the city, and in no time they were ensconced in the middle of the bustling jazz universe.
From 1952 to 1960 Marian McPartland led a trio at the Hickory House, a restaurant-cum-night-club on Manhattan's legendary 52nd Street, and it was there that the pianist grew in stature among her peers and legions of jazz fans, the casual and cognoscenti alike.
Instead of simply falling back on a true-and-tried repertoire and sticking to familiar musical styles while at the Hickory House, Ms. McPartland used her tenure there as a base for a wide learn?ing experience, typically running over to Birdland
and other nearby clubs, between and after her own sets, to soak up more music and to study Duke, Basie, Monk, Bud Powell, and Dave Brubeck. Able to summon a prodigious number of songs from memory and adaptive to any sub-genre of jazz, Ms. McPartland became heralded as a superb interpreter and forceful improviser.
The best-known forum for her enthusiastic advocacy of the improviser's art, however, has been, and continues to be, Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz, a radio program heard weekly on National Public Radio for the past 25 years, mak?ing the series NPR's longest-running cultural pro?gram. Developed and presented by South Carolina Educational Radio, Piano Jazz today reaches listeners in 45 states and 24 foreign coun?tries. Featuring intimate piano duets and impromptu conversation, 26 new installments of the hour-long show are taped each year with guests who have included nearly all of the important jazz artists of our age and other musical luminaries including Ray Charles, Sting, and the members of Steely Dan. Winner of the prestigious Peabody Award in 1984 and the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award in 1991, Piano Jazz has also received hon?ors from the New York Festival and the Foundation of American Women in Radio and Television. In 2000, Ms. McPartland was named an American Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Marian McPartland has released over 60 albums on Concord Records during her remark?able 25-year tenure at the label.
Ms. McPartland was awarded her first Grammy Award in 2004, a Trustees Lifetime Achievement Award celebrating her work as an educator, writer, and radio host. She celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Piano Jazz with a taping
Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz, a radio program heard weekly on National Public Radio for the past 25 years, is NPR's longest-running cultural program
in front of a live audience at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on June 4, 2004 with special guest Peter Cincotti.
Marian McPartland turned 88 years old in March 2006 and continues to perform for audi?ences around the world.
F
or more than a decade, pianist and band?leader Bill Charlap has been forging a solo career characterized by hard-swinging brio, eloquence, and a rigor-meets-romance musical sensibility. With his fine long-term working trio he has released four superb albums for Blue Note Records--CDs celebrating the American song-book tradition, the songs of Hoagy Carmichael, Leonard Bernstein, and George Gershwin--that have afforded him an increased visibility as one of jazz's foremost pianists.
The son of two accomplished artists, Mr. Charlap grew up immersed in a household of song. His father, Broadway composer and song?writer Moose Charlap, and mother, cabaretpop singer Sandy Stewart, entertained popular song?writers and musicians from the show world at their Upper-East-Side home.
After attending SUNY-Purchase for two years, Bill Charlap gave up formal studies in lieu of pursuing a career in jazz. Soon thereafter, Mr. Charlap was chosen to be the musical director of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (pre?sented by UMS in November 1996).
After several early recordings, 1997's All Through the Night on Criss Cross Jazz Records marked the first collaboration with the rhythm
team of drummer Kenny Washington and bassist Peter Washington. After Blue Note President Bruce Lundvall caught Mr. Charlap performing in New York, he signed the pianist to the label. His Blue Note debut was 2000's Written in the Stars, a collection of Great American Songbook stan?dards given a fresh jazz treatment. Mr. Charlap brought his own personality to the songs while also managing to render them with respect to the composer's original intent. Mr. Charlap followed his label debut with 2002's Stardust, an album that celebrates the songs of Hoagy Carmichael. Guest performers include vocalists Tony Bennett and Shirley Horn, guitarist Jim Hall, and saxo?phonist Frank Wess.
Mr. Charlap's 2004 release, Somewhere, pays homage to the songs of Leonard Bernstein; the album earned a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Jazz Instrumental Album."
Bill Charlap was named Artistic Director of the long-running Jazz In July series at the 92nd St. Y's Tisch Center for the Arts in New York City.
