SUMMARY:British Invasion Part 1: Beginnings and Influences
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesdays – September 19 & 26 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nBefore the Beatles kicked off the British Invasion of the US\, a musical revolution was underway in the UK. Teens reveled in listening to a specific type of American music: rock and roll from Elvis Presley\, Fats Domino\, Little Richard\, and more. Early Motown reached the Merseyside\, along with records by little-known (in America) R&B artists. At the same time\, James Brown and Ray Charles scored hits both in the US and the UK. However\, folk also attracted teens’ attention through a genre called skiffle\, a style that would greatly influence budding musicians such as John Lennon and Jimmy Page. \nThis two-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole examines the influences of these genres on what would become the British Invasion\, which would ultimately transform music worldwide. The class will survey the artists that would predate the Beatles: Billy Fury\, Cliff Richard\, the Shadows\, Tommy Steele\, The Vipers Skiffle Group\, and much more. It will reveal just how different the UK and US charts looked prior to the British Invasion\, and how these artists and numerous genres contributed to the transformation from 1950s to 1960s sounds. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Willie Nile
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Performing Arts season-opening concert with Willie Nile and opening act James Maddock. \nThe New York Times called Buffalo\, NY born Willie Nile “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.” Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash.” His album Streets Of New York was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by Uncut. Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011” and BBC Radio called it “THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.” His single from that album\, “One Guitar\,” was the “Top Pick of the Week” in USA Today. \nBono\, Bruce Springsteen\, Pete Townshend\, Lou Reed\, Lucinda Williams\, Jim Jarmusch\, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises. His album\, American Ride\, won “Best Rock Album of the Year” at the Independent Music Awards. It appeared on dozens of year-end Top Ten lists for 2013 and was voted “Album Of The Year” by Twangville Magazine. Bono called it\, “One of the great guides to unraveling the mystery that is the troubled beauty of America.” \nWillie has toured across the U.S. with The Who and has sung with Bruce Springsteen and Ringo Starr. As the induction program from the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame says: “His live performances are legendary.” His 2020 album New York At Night got rave reviews\, with The Associated Press calling it: “As sharp and guitar-driven as ever…the fire within Nile\, once a peer of The Replacements and The Clash\, continues to light a similar torch…anthemic…custom made for these times..” Downbeat Magazine calling it a “sonic love letter to Gotham.” His new studio album The Day The Earth Stood Still features a duet with Steve Earle on the song “Blood On Your Hands.”  The London Times called him “A man who embodies the true spirit of rock n’ roll.” The New Yorker wrote that Willie Nile is “One of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the past 30 years.”

SUMMARY:Ballet Hispánico
DESCRIPTION:Ballet Hispánico is the nation’s renowned Latino dance organization and one of America’s Cultural Treasures. For 50 years Ballet Hispánico has been bringing communities together to celebrate and explore Latino cultures through innovative dance performances\, transformative dance training\, and enduring community engagement experiences. The organization’s founder\, National Medal of Arts recipient Tina Ramirez\, sought to give voice to the Hispanic experience and break through stereotypes. Today\, Ballet Hispánico is led by Eduardo Vilaro\, an acclaimed choreographer and former member of the Company\, whose vision of social equity\, cultural identity\, and quality arts education for all drives its programs. \n \nThe evening’s program will include: \nClub Havana\nChoreographer Pedro Ruiz\, a native of Cuba\, brings the intoxicating rhythms of conga\, rumba\, mambo\, and cha cha to life in “Club Havana.” Set to a fusion of Cuban\, jazz\, and big-band swing music\, this performance promises to be a silky\, sexy joy. \nNew Sleep (Duet)\nChoreographed by William Forsythe\, “New Sleep (Duet)” offers a unique and inventive dance movement based on balletic axioms. Forsythe’s work reorients ballet as a dynamic 21st-century art form\, pushing the boundaries of dance. \nLínea Recta\nFrom choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa comes “Línea Recta\,” a powerful and resonant work that explores the absence of physical partnering in flamenco dance. While maintaining the genre’s hallmark passion\, Lopez Ochoa’s piece offers an original and explosive movement language performed to flamenco guitar by Eric Vaarzon Morel.

SUMMARY:TITIAN: THE EMPIRE OF COLOR
DESCRIPTION:Winning over popes and emperors with his iconic\, revolutionary works Titian succeeded in becoming one of the artists that symbolized the entire Renaissance. \nTitian was an extraordinary master of color and a brilliant entrepreneur\, innovative both in a painting’s composition but also in how to sell it. In only a few years\, Tiziano Vecellio became the official painter of Venice and the utmost artist sought after by the richest and most influential Courts in Europe. \nFrom Ferrara to Urbino\, from Mantua to Rome\, up to the Spain of Carlos V and his son Felipe II\, Titian crossed his century illuminating it with his works of art\, inspiring future generations of artists. Perfect interpreter of religion and mythology\, portrayer of immediate expressive strength\, he dominated his time outshining his contemporaries\, always abiding by his motto: ‘Art is more powerful than Nature’. \nSpecial guest: Jeff Koons\nEstimated runtime: 88 minutes  \n

SUMMARY:The Mind and Music of George Gershwin - Live Concert Lecture by Dr. Richard Kogan
DESCRIPTION:Listening to the deft integration of jazz rhythms and classical music in Rhapsody in Blue or the often-wrenching songs of Porgy and Bess\, it’s jarring to think of their composer as a troubled youth\, a juvenile delinquent\, petty thief and high school dropout who\, in a latter era\, might have been prescribed a hefty dose of Ritalin or Adderall. But George Gershwin was saved by a school violin recital he’d tried to avoid attending – and it opened a door that allowed him to escape the predictable ignominy of a bad boy on the streets of Brooklyn. He was\, then\, a person reached – and made better – by music. \nDr. Richard Kogan joins us to discuss the life\, psyche and music of one of America’s greatest composers during an evening that integrates masterful piano playing\, humor and insight into the close links between music\, healing and genius. Trained in piano at Juilliard and in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School\, Dr. Kogan is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry\, Co-Director of the Human Sexuality Program at Weill Cornell Medical Center and Artistic Director of the Music and Medicine program. He also maintains a private practice in New York City.

SUMMARY:We are the Best
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Lukas Moodysson\nSweden\, 2014 \nWe Are the Best! is a story of three young misfit girls growing up in the early ‘80s Stockholm. Pixieish\, mohawk-sporting Klara and her best friend Bobo are 13-year-old rebels looking for a cause. Despite having no instruments—or discernible musical talent—the two put all their energy into forming an all-girl punk band\, recruiting their shy\, classical guitar-playing schoolmate Hedwig as a third wheel. With tender affection for its young characters\, We Are the Best! paints a joyous and sharply observant portrait of the rebellious spirit of youth and growing up different. \nThere will be a post screening Q&A hosted by Professor Mihaela Moscaliuc with special guest speaker Prof. Joe Rapolla.
