SUMMARY:Toni Morrison Songs & Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony
DESCRIPTION:In Honey and Rue\, André Previn brings together classical music\, jazz\, and African American spirituals with the poetry of Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison. Soprano Vuvu Mpofu gives voice to six poems that move from loneliness and longing to love and self-sacrifice\, with Roderick Cox leading the NAC Orchestra. \nThen\, travel to Scotland with Felix Mendelssohn. When the 20-year-old composer visited the country\, its mysterious landscapes\, ancient ruins\, and stormy weather left a lasting impression. His “Scottish” Symphony transforms those memories into music\, moving from haunting\, mist-covered landscapes to wild storms and a jubilant finale. \nThe evening opens in another striking landscape with Jocelyn Morlock’s Cobalt. Inspired by the deep blue colour of the sky just before darkness\, this hypnotic NAC Orchestra commission puts Concertmaster Yosuke Kawasaki and Associate Concertmaster Jessica Linnebach in the spotlight.

SUMMARY:The Black Keys
DESCRIPTION:The story of Ohio Players—The Black Keys ’twelfth studio album and a record unlike any other in their long ride through deep blues and soul power—begins on a Saturday in February 2003. Singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney were on the road supporting their debut album\, 2002’s The Big Come Up\, opening for Sleater-Kinney at New York’s Roseland Ballroom\, when the headliners invited them to a party after the gig: the traditional bash following the broadcast of Saturday Night Live with the TV show’s cast and guests.\n“This is insane—of course\, we want to go\,” Carney recalls. “We said ‘How are you getting in?‘ ’Our friend Beck played tonight.’”\nAuerbach and Carney were school friends in Akron\, Ohio\, not yet a band\, when Beck’s 1993 single “Loser” —a landmark fusion of Delta blues\, hip-hop churn\, and post-punk lyricism—hit them like a bomb. “His aesthetic was\nincredible\,” Auerbach says today. “He wore his influences on his sleeve\, and we learned from that. There was someone showing us a way to go.”

SUMMARY:Ray Chen in recital
DESCRIPTION:Violinist Ray Chen first gained international attention after winning the Queen Elisabeth Competition and has since built one of the largest digital audiences of any classical soloist. His recitals often combine core repertoire with showpieces and newer works. He is known for directly addressing audiences and reshaping the traditional recital format. This program focuses on contrast\, character\, and violin-driven repertoire. A recital format designed to feel immediate and close-up. \nA few things to know … \n\nViolinist Ray Chen—called “the epitome of cool” by the Sydney Morning Herald— returns to Southam Hall to calm the mind and stir the soul with a program spanning 200 years.\nEven if you’ve never seen him perform\, Chen may look familiar: He’s appeared in the hit series Mozart in the Jungle\, modelled for Giorgio Armani\, and was profiled in Vogue.\n\nWhether he’s performing on the world’s biggest stages or sharing the magic of classical music with two million fans online\, violinist Ray Chen is on a mission to connect people to inspiration\, beauty\, and moments of musical bliss. “The joy that’s inherent in music is meant to be shared\,” he wrote\, “and I want others to find this joy and motivation.” \nDon’t miss your chance to experience one of Chen’s enchanting performances when the Taiwanese Australian violinist returns to Southam Hall for a time-travelling recital exploring nearly 200 years of music. Works by Bach and Mozart bring the dance floor to the concert hall with rhythms of electrifying energy\, while Grieg’s final composition for violin and piano spins captivating melodies of romantic intensity. \nAnd a pair of showstoppers by the 19th-century Spanish virtuoso Pablo de Sarasate showcases the full range of the violin’s voice. Playera\, based on an Andalucian folk song\, bristles with the heat of flamenco\, while the sensuous Carmen Fantasy journeys through moments of operatic lyricism and primal passion—the perfect showcase for Chen’s dazzling virtuosity.
