University of Florida Performing Arts 2014-2015 Season

University of Florida Performing Arts
2014-2015 Season
From the Director
Greetings! It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2014 – 2015 University of Florida Performing Arts (UFPA) Season.
This season, UFPA is proud to present a line-up of world-class artists, from places both near and far.
The internationalization of the University of Florida continues to be a top priority, and to that end, UFPA will continue to present artists from
around the world. More than 20 countries will be represented by artists as diverse as Diplomats of Drum from Malaysia; Teatro Hugo & Ines
from Peru; DakhaBrakha from the Ukraine; and The Nile Project, which features artists from countries touched by that great and mysterious
river. For the first time we are identifying these live opportunities as “Artists Crossing Borders” which we will carry into future seasons, as well.
At the request of many of our audience members, we have expanded our offerings of singer-songwriter artists. This season’s singersongwriters include Perla Batalla, John Gorka, Tab Benoit, Dala and David Wilcox. Each artist, while unique in their presentation, remains
true to the storytelling tradition of the genre.
Several years ago, UFPA launched its Chords of Color for a Cause series. Featuring performing artists who are cancer survivors or who have
supported a loved one through an experience with cancer, this series demonstrates the profound impact that the performing arts can have
on the healing process. Look for the Chords of Color logo which will identify events presented under the umbrella of this program.
We are fortunate to live in a strong artistic community. To that end, a new set of offerings under the rubric “Local Routes” will provide a pathway
for artists within our community to start appearing under the auspices of UFPA. Stay tuned for an announcement this fall about the local artists
whose talents will be showcased in the intimacy of the Squitieri Studio Theatre, located in the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
The experience and power of a live performing arts event is unparalleled. We are appreciative of your continued support in our endeavors
to provide a rich artistic resource for the community.
I look forward to seeing you at one of our events this season.
Warmly,
Michael Blachly, Director

What began as a partnership to share
the impact of war on veterans and their

armed forces. With projections of images
and video content taken in Afghanistan and
from veterans at home, performers act as a
catalyst for social change and provide a
connection to the 34,000 men and women
serving overseas.

Mandolinist/composer Chris Thile, of
Punch Brothers, and bassist/composer
Edgar Meyer team up once again! These
two MacArthur Fellows will cross traditional
boundaries in a diverse program of largely

The Guitar, a film directed by Amy
Redford, examines what happens when the
unthinkable occurs. Diagnosed with cancer,
abandoned by her boyfriend and fired from
her job, Melody Wilder must re-invent herself.
Pursuing a lifelong dream to learn the
electric guitar becomes more than crossing
off an item on her bucket list. It becomes the
method by which she is not only transformed,

BJM — Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal — is a
repertory company that presents a hybrid
form of dance combining the aesthetics of
classical ballet while embracing many other
different styles. Very contemporary in its
current approach, BJM performances are
explosive, original and accessible, and the

ambition to “jazz up” the classical ballet on
which it prides itself.
Grammy-nominated vocalist, composer
and arranger Perla Batalla honors her
bi-cultural heritage with pure joy. Batalla
first gained attention as a backup singer
for Leonard Cohen, working with him for a
decade before embarking on a solo career —
with Cohen’s encouragement. In addition
to many albums including Mestiza and
Discoteca Batalla, she is also a recipient of
the United Nations Earth Charter Award
for extraordinary devotion to social and
economic justice. Batalla evokes the spirit

Cyrus Chestnut grew up in a home filled
with music, so it’s no surprise that his path
led him to the Berklee College of Music.
After graduating, he worked with such
preeminent jazz artists as Jon Hendricks,
Terence Blanchard and Wynton Marsalis. In
his latest musical endeavor, Chestnut and his
quartet pay homage to the legendary Dave
Brubeck with a unique interpretation of his
endearing music.
The highly acclaimed Hermès Quartet
“will likely take their place among the top
quartets of our time” (The Washington Post).
Having performed across Europe, the Parisbased Quartet made their U.S. debut in 2013
to rave reviews at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall
and the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater.
Comprised of violinists Omer Bouchez and
Elise Liu, violist Yung-Hsin Chang, and
cellist Anthony Kondo, the Quartet won
First Prize at the 2011 Geneva International
Music Competition and the “Coup de Coeur
Breguet” prize, landing a recording on the
Ysaÿe Records/Nascor label.

A true New York City institution, CHICAGO
has everything that makes Broadway great:
a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that
jazz; one show-stopping-song after another;
and the most astonishing dancing you’ve
ever seen. No wonder CHICAGO has
been honored with six Tony Awards, two
Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of
standing ovations. It’s also no surprise that
CHICAGO has wowed audiences all around
the world, from Mexico City to Moscow, from
São Paulo to South Africa. Whether you’re
looking for your first Broadway musical,
whether you’ve seen the Academy Awardwinning film and want to experience the
show live on stage, or whether you’ve seen
it before and want to recapture the magic,
CHICAGO always delivers.

Mummenschanz:
Musicians of Silence
UNCOVERED is a concert of startling
classic rock tunes, re-imagined and
re-contextualized, in stunning performances
by Maya Beiser. A “cover tune” can be
an homage to the original, but these
“uncovers,” in new arrangements by Evan
Ziporyn, attempt to do more — to evoke
the unprecedented power of the music of
Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd,
Nirvana, Janis Joplin and Howlin’ Wolf, as
musical masterpieces and as totems of our
collective consciousness. Maya releases
UNCOVERED, the album, on the innova
label in summer 2014.
Pasadena Roof Orchestra

Get up and swing! When it comes to
authentic dance band and early swing music,
the Pasadena Roof Orchestra has no equal.
Under the guidance of band-leader and
singer Duncan Galloway, the Pasadena Roof
Orchestra’s show is full of fun, full of rhythm
and, of course, full of swing. Formed more
than 40 years ago, the band is truly worldclass, having appeared at major concert halls
from New York to London and Berlin to
Hong Kong.
Communicating through a solely visual
spectacle, this theatre troupe creates a
compelling experience that is completely
soundless. The language of Mummenschanz
is universal, transcending cultural boundaries
through the manipulation of shadow, light
and everyday objects. Each scene ignites
a different effect in the viewer, tapping
into the entire spectrum of emotion, and
leaving endless room for interpretation.
Mummenschanz reminds us of the power of
silence and engages audiences in a way words
cannot describe.

Centre Chorégraphique National de Créteil
et du Val-de-Marne/Compagnie Käfig was
created in 1996 by Mourad Merzouki. Born
in Lyon, Merzouki studied martial arts and
circus arts before discovering hip-hop at the
age of 15. Merzouki’s company “combines
street dance with the circus to provide a gaspworthy, lighthearted, enormously creative
show” (Chicago Tribune). In 2006, Merzouki
met 11 young dancers from Rio de Janeiro.
The Brazilian dancers had their roots in the
favelas, and their individual stories struck a
profound chord with the Compagnie Käfig
choreographer. With a mix of hip-hop,
capoeira, samba, electronica music and
bossa nova, Agwa and Correria are two dance
events filled with energy and invention.

Going Green
Through the extensive recycling of paper and plates, energy conservation strategies and more, UFPA is making every
effort to lower our organization’s carbon footprint. Help us and the environment by employing one or more of the
following strategies:
•Recycle your program book after the performance. When you return your book to our ushers after an event, you help
avoid unnecessary printing — saving both trees and money.
• Let us know if you are receiving duplicate mailings. UFPA makes every effort to produce printed materials that meet
professional standards of environmental responsibility. You can help by alerting us when you’re receiving more than
one copy of any of our direct mail pieces. Call the Phillips Center Box Office at 352-392-ARTS (2787) to have the
duplicate address eliminated from our mailing list. And in the meantime, pass along the extra copy to a friend.
• Carpool to UFPA performances. This helps reduce traffic congestion and pollution, and gives you time to catch up
with family and friends.
Note: To receive the Five for Ten discount, tickets must be
purchased at the Phillips Center Box Office. See page 23 for more
information.
For your convenience, the Phillips Center Box Office is open two
hours prior to performance time and through intermission for
in-person sales to all UFPA-presented events. For other events, the
box office is normally open one hour prior to performance time and
remains open 30 minutes after the event begins.
Every patron, regardless of age, must have a ticket for admission
to University of Florida Performing Arts events.
