“ Since moving here in November of 2012 we have had the pleasure of attending quite a number of your programs. All of them have been excellent, and Central PA is very lucky to have you bringing us such a variety and quality of talent at such reasonable prices.” — Dan & Gloria McDavitt, Lewisburg, PA

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2015-16 season at the Weis Center for the Performing

Arts! We are thrilled to offer you the opportunity to engage with some

of the most vibrant, ground-breaking and compelling artists of our

time. Whether it’s the awe-inspiring voices of The Tallis Scholars, the

foot-stomping, speakeasy sounds of The Hot Sardines, the exquisite

Irish melodies of The Gloaming, or the dazzling and electrifying footwork

of Dorrance Dance, the Weis Center season promises to transport you

to countries and cultures both near and far!

Through our programs and performances we expand our reach beyond

conventional boundaries and ideas to spark imagination and foster

global understanding. Over the past few years, we have evolved and

grown in response to the changing needs of our campus and greater

region but our central focus has remained the same: enriching the lives

of our community through the arts. The Weis Center for the Performing

Arts is a shining treasure in Central Pennsylvania and we invite you to

discover and re-discover its rich tradition of cultural exchange and

creative expression.

We hope you’ll join us in this truly life-changing adventure!

With warmest regards,

Kathryn Maguet

It’s a great American success story worthy of the cinema: a born-and-bred NYC actor meets a Parisian-born writer at an open jazz jam over a noodle shop in Manhattan, and before you could say “Bourbon Street Parade,” The Hot Sardines were bringing their contagious brand of joy to audiences all over the world. Bandleader Evan “Bibs” Palazzo and lead singer “Miz Elizabeth” Bougerol combine with the Sardine ensemble of powerhouse musicians — and their very own tap dancer — to play “hot jazz” as it was in the era when live music was king…with a little glamour, a little grit, and a lot of passion. Even while giving voice to the history-defining jazz of the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, The Hot Sardines’ vibrant performances bridge generations and captivate 21st-century audiences. Vanity Fair applauds their “unique repertoire, and a sound and style that are distinctly their own,” and Forbes Magazine calls them “one of the best jazz bands in NYC today.” TheHotSardines.com

Wednesday, Sept. 30, 7:30 p.m. • Campus TheatreInuit throat singer, improviser and 2014 Polaris Music Prize winner Tanya Tagaq reclaims the controversial 1922 silent film classic Nanook of the North. Nanook of the North is considered the world’s first major work of non-fiction filmmaking, yet it is rife with contradictions. The film portrays the lives of an Inuk family in Arctic Canada. Its director, Robert Flaherty, lived and worked with Inuit for years, but still included staged scenes of buffoonery and feigned Inuit ignorance of modern accoutrements. Tagaq, along with percussionist Jean Martin and violinist Jesse Zubot, performs a live accompaniment to the film’s silent images of life in an early 20th-century Inuit community in Northern Quebec. Tanya Tagaq in concert with Nanook of the North was commissioned by TIFF Bell Lightbox as part of its film retrospective First Peoples Cinema: 1500 Nations, One Tradition. TanyaTagaq.com

Alison Brown QuartetFriday, Oct. 23, 7:30 p.m. • Weis Center

Alison Brown has achieved success in many areas: a Harvard graduate, record label co-founder and owner, mother, and, the role that most people know her in: banjo virtuoso. An inter-nationally recognized musician with a wide-reaching and loyal fan base, Brown first came to national prominence when she was asked by Alison Krauss to join her band Union Station in 1989. Brown’s journey to a professional music career took a detour while she attended Harvard, studying history and literature, then UCLA, where she secured an MBA and went to work as an investment banker. After taking a hiatus to return to composing and recording music, Brown assembled the material for her solo debut, the Grammy nominated Simple Pleasures. A three-year stint with Alison Krauss and Union Station and a year serving as band leader for Michelle Shocked followed as did bluegrass music’s highest accolade for an instrumentalist: the International Bluegrass Music Association Banjo Player of the Year in 1991.

Nano’s style is an Indie-Folk-Rock-Jazz fusion; deeply rooted in traditional Chilean music and inspired by legends Violeta Parra, Victor Jara and Inti-Illimani, yet combined with a host of influences absorbed from his travels around the world, as well as his early classical training. Added to the mix is a love for rock, which results in a truly unique sound, the whole becoming greater than the sum of its parts. Stern is an accomplished musician, playing a range of instruments from Spanish and electric guitars and violin to the Andean and Nordic flutes.

Lewisburg’s Billy Kelly released his first children’s music album to widespread critical acclaim in 2009. Time Out New York called it “hilarious” and Common Sense Media praised its “vast appeal for kids and adults alike.” Since then he has recorded with Davy Jones of the Monkees, and produced a series of nationally-distributed music videos for American Public Television. South Carolina native Molly Ledford fronts the renowned kids music band Lunch Money. Her smart, catchy songs are a staple on the Sirius/XM channel, “Kids Place Live” and she has performed across the Unites States, notably at the Austin City Limits Festival and Lollapalooza. Billy and Molly teamed up in 2014 to write and record Trees — a musical celebration of everyone’s favorite ubiquitous woody plants — with Grammy-winning producer, Dean Jones. National Public Radio praised their collaboration as a “joyful celebration of the natural world.”

Dorrance Dance Friday, Jan. 29, 7:30 p.m. • Weis CenterMichelle Dorrance founded Dorrance Dance in the spring of 2011 after devoting 30 years to studying and performing tap dance. She’s been lauded by The New Yorker as “one of the most imaginative tap choreo-graphers working today,” and is the first tap choreographer to receive a Princess Grace Choreography Fellowship. Dorrance Dance aims to honor tap dance’s uniquely beautiful history in a new and dynamically compelling context, not by stripping the form of its tradition, but by pushing it: rhythmically, aesthetically and conceptually. Street, club and experimental dance forms — all of which are American dreams — awake to the sound of furious rhythms, and find their boundaries missing. Tap dance, America’s most long-standing indigenous jazz vernacular, is here to receive its due. DorranceDance.com

This tour engagement of Dorrance Dance is made possible by a grant from Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation as part of its ArtsCONNECT program with support from the National Endowment of the Arts.

Beijing Guitar DuoSunday, Jan. 31, 2 p.m. • Weis Center Lobby

Free! Tickets not required.Praised by the distinguished Classical Guitar magazine as “having the star potential to serve as inspiration for new generations of guitarists

to come,” the Beijing Guitar Duo made their New York debut in Carnegie Hall in 2010. Since 2011, Meng Su and Yameng Wang have been Artists- in-Residence at San Francisco Performances. The Beijing Guitar Duo’s

performances and recordings have impressed the public with “an ability and artistry that exceeds their years.” Their debut CD Maracaípe, received

a Latin Grammy nomination for the titled piece. Their second CD, Bach to Tan Dun, has been widely noted for the world-premiere recording of

Tan Dun’s Eight Memories in Watercolor, specially arranged for the duo by Manuel Barrueco. A trio recording, China West was released in May 2014.

Meng Su and Yameng Wang were born in the coastal city of Qingdao, China. They came to the partnership with exceptional credentials, including a string of competition awards. Ms. Su’s honors include

victories at the Vienna Youth Guitar Competition and the Christopher Parkening Young Guitarist Competition, while Ms. Wang was the

youngest guitarist to win the Tokyo International Guitar Competition at the age of 12, and was invited by Radio France to perform at

the prestigious Paris International Guitar Art Week at age 14. BeijingGuitarDuo.com

The ensemble will inaugurate Bucknell University’s new gamelan semara dana, a type of Balinese gamelan that was invented in the late 1980s. Combining two musical modes on each instrument, the ensemble can play a wide range of repertoire and styles, traditional and new.

Dedicated to the traditions of Balinese performing arts and committed to exploring new music, New York City’s Gamelan Dharma Swara is carving out a compelling niche. Founded in 1989, Dharma Swara is one of the leading Balinese gamelan and dance groups in the United States and has performed at renowned NYC music venues including (le) Poisson Rouge, Symphony Space, Joe’s Pub, Roulette, and BAM, as well as cultural institutions such as MoMA and Asia Society. The group toured Bali in 2010 with an invitation to perform in the Bali Arts Festival’s popular Battle of the Bands, and most recently, a stunning performance at Basilica Soundscape in Hudson, New York, was described by The New Yorker as feeling “straight-up religious” and provoked “perhaps the weekend’s most rapturous response (including a fair amount of crying.)” While traditional repertoire is an honored part of Dharma Swara’s vision, they also value the exploration of new music for gamelan.

Aaron Diehl seeks to stand out in his era as an artist to exemplify quality, authenticity, and a fluency in the American musical vernacular. The 2011 Cole Porter Fellow of the American Pianists Association, Diehl has been hailed by the New York Times as “a smart young pianist with a fastidious grasp of jazz traditions.” He is committed to unearthing the treasures of a rich musical language through collaborative efforts with artists across generations. In 2002, Diehl was a finalist in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington competition, where he was awarded “Outstanding Soloist.” The following year, he was invited to tour with the Wynton Marsalis Septet on their European tour. A 2007 graduate of the Juilliard School, he is also a Martin E. Segal Award recipient. Diehl released his first live album in 2008, a solo concert recorded at the Caramoor Festival. In 2010, Live at the Players featured two of his working trios. His latest release, The Bespoke Man’s Narrative, is the current product of Diehl’s ensemble cultivation, influenced partly by John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet. He is the 2013 Jazz Journalist Association’s Up-And-Coming Musician of the Year Award recipient. AaronDiehl.com

“Enjoyed being able to hear a world class symphony orchestra outside of a major city. Thank you for bringing them to Central Pennsylvania.” — Susan Hill, Bloomsburg, PA

In 2008, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung declared that the Mandelring Quartet was so good that it is a worthy successor to the Alban Berg Quartet. Writing of their Shostakovich cycle at the Salzburg Festival, the leading Austrian arts magazine, Die Bühne, named it as the heir of the legendary Borodin Quartet, and the renowned music magazine Fono Forum counts it as one of the six best string quartets in the world. Based in the German wine region in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, the three Schmidt siblings — Sebastian, Nanette and Bernhard — joined with violist Roland Glassl in a partnership dedicated to exemplary performances of chamber music. Their success in winning some of the world’s great competi-tions — Munich, Evian and Reggio Emilia (Premio Paolo Borciani) — launched an international career. Their numerous CD recordings have been repeatedly awarded the German Music Critics’ Prize and nominated for the International Classical Music Award, confirming the Mandelring Quartet’s exceptional quality and wide-ranging repertoire.

Pilobolus — named after a barnyard fungus that propels its spores with extraordinary speed, accuracy and strength — is a dance company founded by a group of Dartmouth College students in 1971. In recent years Pilobolus has transformed from avant-garde dance company into an international entertainment brand featured on the likes of Oprah, Late Night with Conan O’Brien and the Academy Awards.

Pilobolus continually forms diverse collaborations that break down barriers between disciplines and challenge the way we think about dance. All of this is achieved without ever losing sight of the company’s core mission: to make art that builds community. Pilobolus.com

Mnozil Brass has established itself as one of the world’s premier brass ensembles. With more than 130 performances a year, the group has captivated audiences with their blend of immense virtuosity and theatrical wit. Their performances seamlessly blend original compositions with classical favorites, jazz standards, and popular hits. As always, the repertoire is presented with the group’s iconic humor and wit in scenes so clever that they would be worthy of Monty Python. Mnozil Brass take their name from the “Gasthaus Mnozil,” a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conserva- tory, where, in 1992, seven young brass musicians met and began playing at a monthly open-mic. Since then, the group has embraced repertoire for all ages and stages of life: from folk to classical to jazz to pop, all executed with the same fearlessness, immense technical skill, and typical Viennese “schmäh” (almost impossible to find an English translation, but best rendered as a kind of sarcastic charm!). In their time away from touring, Mnozil Brass has recorded eight albums and six DVDs. The group has been nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award and won the prestigious Salzburger Stier Cabaret Prize in 2006. MnozilBrass.at/en/

Imagine 12 shining brass instruments blasting away, led by a trumpet as rapturous as it is melancholic. Imagine

the Balkanic fusion of the love of life with its inescapable sadness. Imagine Boban Markovic,

judged “best trumpet on Earth” at the legendary Guca festival in central Serbia, playing live in Belgrade. Now stop imagining — this is the

real thing. BMMO is the quintessential brass Balkan band and universally acknowledged as the best Balkan

brass band on the planet! Originating from Vladicin Han, Southern Serbia, BMMO is a 12-piece band, wholly defined by their own gypsy lineage whilst giving a knowing nod towards other musical and

cultural backgrounds closely related to that of the Romani’s. They have won all of the most presti-

gious accolades available to players in Serbia: ‘Trumpet Maestro’ (x2), ‘Golden Trumpet’, ‘First Trumpet’, ‘The Best Orchestra’, ‘Best

Concert’. BobaniMarko.com/

Director Peter Phillips founded The Tallis Scholars in 1973. Through recordings and concert performances, the ensemble has established itself as the leading exponent of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. Peter Phillips has worked with the group to create, through good tuning and blend, the purity and clarity of sound that he feels best serves the Renaissance repertoire, allowing every detail of the musical lines to be heard. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which The Tallis Scholars has become so widely renowned. thetallisscholars.co.uk/

A modern troubadour with extraordinary appeal, Habib Koité‘s musicianship, wit and wisdom translate across cultures. Hailing from the musically prolific West African nation of Mali, the guitarist and composer has been named the biggest pop star of the region by Rolling Stone, delighting audiences the world over and selling more than 250,000 albums.

Vusi Mahlasela is simply known as ‘The Voice‘ in his home country, South Africa, celebrated for his distinct, powerful voice and his poetic, optimistic lyrics. His songs of hope connect Apartheid-scarred South Africa with its promise for a better future. After his popular debut on BMG Africa, When You Come Back, Vusi was asked to perform at Nelson Mandela’s inauguration in 1994 and continues to spread Mandela’s message as an official ambassador to Mandela’s HIV/AIDS initiative.

Beloved the world over, the Peruvian-based Teatro Hugo & Ines has performed throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. With amazing dexterity and delightful creativity, this dynamic duo transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary in performances for adults and children alike. Combining mime, dance and puppetry, Hugo & Ines create a riot of characters composed of knees, feet, hands and elbows and a handful of props. In Short Stories, we are introduced to a parade of memorable beings who, in their brief moments on the scene, play out the poetic moments of daily life.

Hugo Suarez was born in Lima, Peru and Ines Pasic is originally from Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Their paths crossed in Italy where Hugo was performing mime on the streets of Italy. Ines, a trained pianist from the Sarajevo Conservatory, began to study pantomime with Hugo and quickly discovered that her dexterity on the keyboard had provided her with tools that would be useful in mime as well as music. Together they founded Teatro Hugo & Ines in 1986 and premiered their first production, Return to Darkness in 1987. Hugo & Ines were seen regularly on episodes of the PBS series Between the Lions and on national television in Japan.

“ I thoroughly enjoyed the show especially since it was my first visit to the Weis Center. The comfortable feel of the Center, not too big, but just right greatly in-creased the ambiance. The talent of the musicians was thrilling as they so obviously enjoy not only the stage, but the art of the music itself. I so look forward to experiencing other performances on your calendar. Kudos for a great show in a remarkable setting.”

— Fran Shea, Wellsboro, PA

“ This concert was over-whelming. I was on cloud nine afterwards and could not sleep until the early morning hours. What did I like best? All of it. I’m very grateful that Bucknell was able to have an orchestra and soloist of such caliber visit Bucknell and that they were received with such warmth and enthusiasm by the audience. I am most grateful for an unforget-table evening.”
