Featuring "You Were Meant for Me," "Good Morning," and of course "Singin' in the Rain!"

Three B's: Bach, Beethoven & Brahms
|
 January 23, 2010
7:30pm
Visit website
Name: Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra
Event Address: CU Boulder Campus
Location: Macky Auditorium
Phone: 303-444-7328
Admission: $13-$70
The Three B's really do have a connection through the use of motive. Bach organically spins out a structure starting with a seminal motive. Beethoven's symphony is the first to use trombones and incorporates the famous short-short-short-long rhythmic motive to connect all movements into an organic whole. Brahms' style is all about motive and development. He labored under the shadow of Beethoven and what was expected of him, and his first piano concerto was an attempt to write a symphony that morphed into something else. Piano and orchestra are equal partners in this piece–not just a solo feature with orchestral "accompaniment." Boulder’s own Christopher Taylor, the 1993 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition bronze medalist, is the soloist. This evening features video enhancement for a more intimate concert experience. Catch a free, 30-minute talk on this concert by Don Campbell, world-renowned author of The Mozart Effect, at 6:30 p.m. at Macky.

What was left was washed away by a 12-foot storm surge of sea water. “The Children of the Storm” exhibition was conceived by Myint Zaw and Doug Cosper, who just returned from five months in Burma, to help assure that 76 Nargis Orphans from the Kun Chan Kone area will be able to attend school. The exhibit consists of artwork by the Nargis Orphans, as well as photographs and histories. All of the proceeds from the exhibition will be sent to Burma to pay the children’s school fees and help their guardians, usually aging grandparents or monks at the local monastery, feed and clothe them. Refreshments will be served.

Location: Boulder Public Library

One of the greatest works for the piano, the Sonata Op. 57, “Appassionata” is much more than a beautiful piece of music: it is Beethoven’s metaphysical study on good and evil, his treatise on humanity’s capacity for kindness and cruelty. Epic in scale and intensity, the sonata is also a wonder of ingenuity. Understanding the logic of Beethoven’s musical ideas can make listening to the Appassionata an even more powerful experience.
Pianist and Musicologist Lisa Harrington will bring to light the workings of Beethoven's creative genius in a down-to-earth and lively demonstration, followed by a complete performance of this most beloved masterpiece.
Whether the word “Appassionata” evokes fond memories of the great performances of Rubenstein and Horowitz, or mere curiosity (Appassionwhata?) this concert is for you!

Event Address: 4740 Table Mesa Drive Suite B
Location: Jewish Enrichment Center

Admission: $10 at door, $25 family rate
At the Chabad-Lubavitch Model Matzah Bakery, Jews of all ages get the unique opportunity to participate in an ancient tradition: making hand-made Matzah the old-fashioned way-by hand, the way their ancestors did. Matzah is a form of bread dating back several thousand years. It is made by baking fresh dough immediately after kneading, before it can rise. Thus, Matzah is flat and dense, like a cracker-not light and airy like conventional bread. The Chabad-Lubavitch Model Matzah Bakery, located at the Boulder JCC is designed to mimic genuine Matzah bakeries found today only in select Orthodox communities around the world. This is done by having visitors knead, roll, and bake dough by hand at long work tables, as well as use a conventional oven decorated with a brick facade, thus making the experience as authentic as possible.

Unpublished, unknown and not performed until the 1930s, this piece by the man who wrote the famous opera Carmen is a lively, tuneful, charming work that will be recognizable to many. This evening features video enhancement for a more intimate concert experience.

These happenings are not performances per se, but rather dance activities that present dancers dancing – dancers doing what dancers do. Participating artists decide what they want to present – keeping in mind that perhaps people will stop and watch, and perhaps not. Chairs will be available for community members who want to watch and dancers may invite participation when appropriate.

In this presentation, Alan E.

His girlfriend wants to get married and move out of the city (Tick,), his best friend is making big bucks on Madison Avenue (Tick…), yet Jon is still waiting tables and trying to write the great American musical (Boom!). Containing fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors, and a live rock band, Tick, Tick… Boom! takes you on the playwright/composer’s journey that led to the Broadway blockbuster, Rent. Set in 1990, this traditional book musical is filled with instantly appealing melodies, and a unique blend of pop and musical theatre styles with which Rentfans already are familiar. Everyone, regardless of age, will love this youthful, energetic, thoughtful piece, and surely will embrace the universal ideal of holding onto your dreams through life’s most difficult challenges.

Event Address: 1206 Euclid Ave

This exhibition provides a rare insight into the prevalence of performed music among 19th century Americans. With the birth of photography, many musicians—including Civil War soldiers, cowboys, Vaudeville performers and middle-class Victorians—were able to pose with their favorite instruments to show their pride and love of music. The images were collected over a period of 25 years by historian and musician Mark L. Gardner and the vast majority have never been published or assembled for public view.
In addition to the traveling exhibit, the Museum will provide supplemental photos of Boulder's own musical passion and hands-on musical activities for visitors of all ages. The exhibit will also include a film, created by Parlando School for the Arts, which features several modern-day families who keep music at the center of their lives both in their homes and in their studies at Parlando.

Parlando’s Broadway in Boulder Studios follows up its 2009 sell-out run of “Secret Garden” with the Dramatic Musical “Grand Hotel.” Based on the 1929 Vicki Baum novel and play, Menschen im Hotel (People in a Hotel), and the subsequent 1932 MGM feature film, the musical focuses on events taking place over the course of a weekend in an elegant hotel in 1928 Berlin and the intersecting stories of the eccentric guests of the hotel, including a fading prima ballerina; a fatally ill Jewish bookkeeper, who wants to spend his final days living in luxury; a young, handsome, but destitute Baron; a cynical doctor; and a typist dreaming of Hollywood success.
“Grand Hotel, Berlin. Always the same – people come, people go – One life ends while another begins – one heart breaks while another beats faster – one man goes to jail while another goes to Paris – always the same. I’ll stay – one more day.”

In a Maine coastal village toward the end of the 19th century, the swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, captivates and marries the naive millworker, Julie Jordan. Billy loses his job just as he learns that Julie is pregnant and, desperately intent upon providing a decent life for his family, he is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery. Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison, he takes his own life and is sent "up there." Billy is allowed to return to earth for one day fifteen years later, and he encounters the daughter he never knew. She is a lonely, friendless teenager, her father's reputation as a thief and bully having haunted her throughout her young life. How Billy instills in both the child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic testimony to the power of love. It's easy to understand why, of all the shows they created, CAROUSEL was Rodgers & Hammerstein's personal favorite.

Clash of the Wolves (1925): Starring Rin Tin Tin with live musical accompaniment by Hank Troy, piano
Filmed on locations at Joshua Tree National Monument and Chatsworth, CA, this surviving Rin Tin Tin melodrama features the famous canine as Lobo, the "half-breed" leader of a pack of wolves. When forest fires ruin their habitat, the starving animals trek down into the desert, where they in desperation attack the local cattle. Wounded by a treacherous cactus, Lobo is nursed back to health by young borax prospector Dave Weston (Charles Farrell), but is forced to wear a disguise lest he becomes the target of the irate ranchers.
To celebrate our 25th anniversary of showing silent films, a Houdini “Master Mystery” episode will be shown prior to each feature film throughout the summer series.

The BJDW intensive consists of two weeks of classes, for ages 16 through adult, in a wide variety of dance styles, choreography, and theatrical dance production. The University of Colorado will award up to two hours of undergraduate college credit and 1 hour of graduate level credit to qualified students. Housing in the University’s Athens North Apartments is available for out-of-towners. Housing space is limited – early reservations are recommended!
In addition, there is a separate Weekend Workshop for ages 11 through adult on Saturday July 17th and Sunday July 18th, that now includes special classes for teachers.

Admission: $13-$17
In a Maine coastal village toward the end of the 19th century, the swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, captivates and marries the naive millworker, Julie Jordan. Billy loses his job just as he learns that Julie is pregnant and, desperately intent upon providing a decent life for his family, he is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery. Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison, he takes his own life and is sent "up there." Billy is allowed to return to earth for one day fifteen years later, and he encounters the daughter he never knew. She is a lonely, friendless teenager, her father's reputation as a thief and bully having haunted her throughout her young life. How Billy instills in both the child and her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic testimony to the power of love. It's easy to understand why, of all the shows they created, CAROUSEL was Rodgers & Hammerstein's personal favorite.

Just Off Pearl: Recent Paintings by Barry H. Gillespie
|
 August 6, 2010
6-8 pm
Visit website
Event Address: 2116B Pearl St.
Location: Jet’s Espressoria
Phone: 303-447-0455
The images of buildings in this show are all from a small area of downtown Boulder, the area bounded by Broadway, Walnut, Pine and 20th. By looking at what is familiar through new eyes we can see great beauty in the ordinary. What is commonplace, and thus often unnoticed, takes on new significance. These paintings focus on what is behind the public front façade, looking at the backs of buildings, or some small aspect of the structure, like a tower, a decorative roofline, or how a shadow of a tree falls on a wall.
Barry H. Gillespie is a mathematician turned expressionist painter. His work was originally very linear and abstract, coming completely from his own imagination, but in the last 18 months he has come to see architecture as applied mathematics, as a ground which allows him to express the beauty that he sees all around him. His work combines his fascination with order, precision and light with the effects of his Theravaden Buddhist practice, giving his paintings a great stillness.
