Summer at Brighton DomeWelcome to Brighton Dome’s summer season. Following on from the jammed-packed 46th Brighton Festival in May we have a wonderful mix of events on offer and as the country turns to celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, all that these events represent fi nd their refl ection in a terrifi c programme of performances at Brighton Dome.

We are delighted to present a series of very special chamber recitals across Sussex, working in partnership with the London 2012 Festival, Young Classical Artists Trust, Charleston and two local festivals. Combining the music of Kurtag and Schubert these small and beautiful concerts bring stunning music to magnifi cent locations across the region, creating three unmissable summer Saturdays.

And this season marks some very special returns to Brighton Dome: after more than seven years we are thrilled to welcome back punk-poet icon Patti Smith, and in an exciting double bill are the much-lauded collective The Imagined Village and Indian superstar Raghu Dixit. After the success of last year’s In Good Company, members of the Hofesh Shechter Company, (Brighton Dome’s Resident Dance Company) reveal their own choreographic talents, this time in a new group of commissioned works; and street and break dancers display their awe-inspiring skills in Breakin’ Convention.

Our theatre programme showcases the very best in smaller-scale companies, with something for adults and families alike, whilst great comedy performers includes Simon Amstell and Sandi Toksvig.

We look forward to welcoming you to Brighton Dome and to celebrating summer with you.

The Imagined VillageRaghu Dixit

In this double bill these two storming live acts put a modern spin on centuries-old folklore, making for one unforgettable world music encounter.

Imagine a 15th-century ballad retuned to an electro reggae beat; or a dub roots revival of a medieval poem. The Imagined Village mixes traditional English folk song with the varied cultural heritage of modern Britain to create a compelling new musical vision. This freewheeling collective of top-fl ight British musicians includes English folk icons like Eliza and Martin Carthy alongside members of Afro Celt Sound System, Cornershop, Transglobal Underground and The Bays.

Raghu Dixit – already approaching superstar status in his native India – came to the attention of British audiences courtesy of his show-stealing performance on Later With Jools... Overnight his debut album became iTunes top world music download. Since then he has packed out festivals and concert halls, won the Songlines Newcomer Award for 2011 and become Artist in Residence at London's Southbank. With his stirring fusion of traditional Indian folk, world rhythms and Western pop, this is the new sound of the subcontinent.

Join Imagined Village and Raghu Dixit for a sublime celebration of the enduring power of song.

‘Imagined Village’s success lies in taking traditional material and making it sound relevant and contemporary – which is what folk music should be.’ Evening Standard

Suzanne Vegaplus support

The pioneering American singer-songwriter returns with her gentle, yet powerfully political acoustic pop. Songs such as Marlene on the Wall, Luka and the hugely successful album Solitude Standing brought her to a global audience. Her career received an extra boost in the early 90s when UK-based dance duo DNA released a remix of a cappella song Tom's Diner, which charted world-wide.

Her music has inspired a generation of female singer-songwriters such as KT Tunstall and Alanis Morissette and, having recently embarked on a project to re-imagine her own songbook in a stripped down and intimate manner by creating four new thematic albums, she is ready to inspire thousands more.

This summer Patti Smith releases her 11th studio album, Banga. This highly anticipated album marks Smith’s fi rst collection of original material since 2004.

Patti Smith cut her teeth on the 70s New York scene, and has been making rousing, literate and cathartic rock 'n' roll ever since. From her seminal 1975 debut Horses (Gloria; Free Money) through Easter (and the art rock anthem Because the Night) to mid-90s collaborations with Jeff Buckley, John Cale and Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith’s uncompromising creativity and restless energy have inspired a generation of imitators and admirers.

Since the turn of the millennium Smith has been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, released a string of acclaimed albums, been the subject of Steven Sebring’s cult documentary Dream of Life, and authored the award-winning memoir Just Kids. Last year she was listed among the TIME 100 most infl uential people in the world, as well as one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Artists.

Dr Brown Becaves

‘His combination of clowning, oddity and low-level menace constitute one of the funniest shows on the Fringe.’ ****The Guardian

‘Rude, messy, but rather marvellous, full of provocation and downright uncomfortable weirdness.’**** The Times

‘whether slicing a banana, reinterpreting Peking Opera or manhandling punters…anything or nothing can happen – and either will be equally, intriguingly funny.’ The Guardian

Forget everything you thought you knew about comedy as the crown prince of the absurd unleashes an evening of ‘utterly bizarre and dreadfully funny’ (Time Out) visual mayhem.

This latest show from the cult comedy surrealist and comedian’s comedian Dr Brown is a welcome excursion for anyone tired of winsome witticisms and predictable punchlines. Using absurdist mime and impish waywardness, Brown takes audiences to the strangest places, turns left, and then gets even stranger…

Dr Brown Becaves comes straight from sold-out, award-winning seasons in London, Prague, Barcelona, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Sydney and Dubai.

Rough Fiction

The Last of the Lake

‘In distant desert villages where water is sparse young girls can either accept what fate has given them or fi ght against it.’

The very last of the life-giving lake is about to run out. The village just hopes their saviours don’t run out on them. This new play from acclaimed young company Rough Fiction brings the technicolour and extravagant world of magical realism to life as two girls twinned by birth and by prophesy, engage in an epic, healing and emotionally-testing journey to the sea. The Last of the Lake blends bold physicality and immersive audio-visual design; allowing a rich and heady world of birds, mermaids and ritual to burst into life.

‘No escape from life’s questions. Rough Fiction push the boundaries of text and performance’ **** The Scotsman on In Hospitals and Other Buildings

A skiing race, a tennis match, a slightly spectacular BMX fi nale – each episode is played out with mischievous playfulness and physical fl ights of fancy.

‘As bonkers an hour of comedy as ever you would fi nd – part Mr Bean, part Buster Keaton, all odd.’ ****Sunday Times

Unpredictable, original and delightfully deranged, this critically acclaimed family comedy is presented by award-winning performers Dr Brown and Stuart Bowden. Just beware: you might laugh so hard you hiccup a helicopter!

Dvorák Noonday Witch, Op. 108Bruch Violin Concerto No.1 in G minorBeethoven Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, Pastoral

Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony was written and premiered in the same year as the monumental Fifth (1808). Yet its pastoral mood and sunny complexion couldn’t be further in tone from its tempestuous predecessor. ‘No one can love the country as much as I do,’ wrote the composer to Therese Malfatti (a future suitor), ‘for surely woods, trees and rocks produce the echo which man desires to hear.’ Such bucolic sentiments are refl ected in the titles of the symphony’s fi ve movements (such as Scene by the Brook and Merry Gathering of the Country Folk), and are perfectly captured in the serene countenance of this highly melodic work.

In contrast, the concert opens with the brooding malevolence of Dvorák’s Noonday Witch, a darkly expressive tone poem based on Karel Jaromir Erben’s sinister Bohemian folk tale. The concert also includes one of the cornerstones of the violin repertoire, the seductive and exhilarating Concerto in G minor by Max Bruch.

Abram Wilson Quartet Performs Philippa

’Truly astonishing...A fi ery, colourful trumpeter and a gracefully cajoling soul singer, Wilson is a defi nite hot ticket.’ The Guardian

Multi-award winning New Orleans trumpeter, vocalist and composer Abram Wilson, is one of the leading jazz musicians in the UK today. With trumpet playing reminiscent of Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis, and Wynton Marsalis and the vocals of Sammy Davis Jr. and Chet Baker, Wilson has created a unique and captivating style of melodic compositions that swing and groove.

Philippa is a collection of original music composed by Wilson ranging from blues to melodic swing and stunning vocals. The project was inspired by the life of the brilliant but neglected mixed race classical pianist Philippa Schuyler. Born in Harlem in 1931, her fascinating, illustrious, tragically short life captured America’s tensions at a crucial period in its history.
