FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Welcome to Newman Center Presents! Our 11th season includes the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the University of Denver. The University strives to be a great private institution serving the public good. We at the Newman Center believe that our programs rise to the challenge of the University’s mission.

The Newman Center hosts nearly 500 performances each year, serving both campus and community. Those performances include, in addition to the Newman Center Presents performance you are here to experience, hundreds of performances by students and faculty of the Lamont School of Music and Department of Theatre, as well as scores of performances by Denver’s best performing arts organizations.

The world-renowned artists who perform in the Newman Center Presents series often give educational programs for both University students and K-12 students in the greater community as part of their visit. Over half of those artists have never before performed in Denver. The University’s dedication to serving the public good is what makes that possible, that and your generous support. Thank you for making Newman Center Presents part of your life and for helping the University fulfill its mission.

Welcome to your performing arts center at the University of Denver. Thank you for coming. Have a great time!

FROM THE CHANCELLOR

This academic year will mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the University of Denver. Through all of those years (very nearly as long as the city itself has existed) the University has been a major focal point for Denver’s cultural life. This is simply a part of who we are as an institution and of our mission to serve the public good. We seek to develop the extraordinary talent resident in our students and faculty members, but also to be a magnet that attracts the greatest musicians, dancers, actors and artists of all kinds from all over the world to our city, and to present their work to its citizens. All of this is done in an effort to enrich our lives and our culture.

The Newman Center for the Performing Arts at DU is surely one of the finest such venues in America. Through the many performances presented here each year we seek to entertain, stimulate, and inspire members of the DU community and the public at large. The Newman Center Presents series lies at the heart of that effort. Each year it presents a vibrant and eclectic variety of performances, introducing new aspects of music, theater and dance that our community may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience.

I hope that you will help the University Community celebrate its 150th birthday this season! Most particularly, I hope that you are entertained, stimulated, or inspired (or perhaps all three) by this evening’s performance. Thank you so much for visiting the Newman Center and DU.

GABRIEL KAHANE AND yMUSICTHURSDAY / MARCH 6 / 2014

Writing and performing music that moves effortlessly from modernism to vernacular song, pianist, composer, and singer Gabriel Kahane returns to Newman Center Presents after appearing in 2011 with his father, noted pianist and conductor Jeffrey Kahane. Of that concert The Denver Post said: “Wondering what Denver’s classical scene needs more of? Unconventional, imaginative and crowd-pleasing programs like this one.”

Gabe has established himself as a leading voice among a generation of young indie composers redefining music for the 21st century through his diverse vernacular songs and musical theater compositions. The exciting ensemble of six players who call themselves yMusic features guitarist/violinist Rob Moose (Bon Iver, Antony and the Johnsons) and trumpet player CJ Camerieri (Sufjan Stevens, American Composers Orchestra). yMusic and Gabe will each perform sets of their own in the first half of

the show. Then after intermission Gabe will join yMusic for an energetic and great time.

LES BALLETS TROCKADERO DE MONTE CARLOTHURSDAY / MARCH 20 / 2014

Founded in 1974 by a group of ballet enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a playful, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet in parody form (and en travesty), The Trocks, as they

have come to be known, first performed in the late-late shows in Off-Off Broadway lofts. They quickly garnered a major critical essay in The New Yorker, and combined with reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice, established the Company as an artistic and popular success. Very soon their inspired blend of a loving knowledge of dance, a comic approach, and the astounding fact that men can, indeed, dance en pointe without falling flat on their faces, earned them a permanent slot in the dance world.

The Newman Center presented them to a sold-out house in 2008, and now they’re back! Ballet is rarely funny, but The Trocks are — very.

MEET ROBERT AND JUDI NEWMAN With the Newman Center just having celebrated its tenth season, these avid philanthropists smile when they remember becoming involved in the campaign to create an outstanding center for the performing arts

at the University of Denver. Daniel L. Ritchie, then chancellor, invited Judi to head the effort when the Center was only a dream. Later the Center was named in the couple’s honor.

The couple’s passion for performing arts and education harmoniously intersected with the Newman Center, which is home to exceptional performance venues and DU’s Lamont School of Music and Department of Theatre. “Dan Ritchie has often said that love is the principal ingredient in any successful building,” says Judi. “The Newman Center, as well as the University’s many other new buildings, show just how true that is.” The Newmans appreciate the masterful collaboration between Ritchie and DU Architect Emeritus Cabell Childress, and the expertise of Joseph Docksey, director of the Lamont School, and William Temple Davis, chairman of DU’s Department of Theatre, both with the University at the time of construction. They delight in the superb array of Newman Center Presents’ programs presented by Executive Director Stephen Seifert.

Prominent in Denver’s cultural community, the Newmans serve on many boards. Their involvement in DU has deepened with Bob joining the University’s Board of Trustees. He also is a member of the Executive Advisory Board of the Daniels College of Business at DU. Judi sits on the Trustee Service Committee and the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees at the University of Miami. “Each year brings more recognition to this venue and its world-class programs,” says Bob. “Judi and I are delighted to be part of the University of Denver community.”

SCOTT O’NEIL, RESIDENT CONDUCTOR This is Scott O’Neil’s eighth season with the Colorado Symphony and his third full season as resident conductor. O’Neil maintains a strong commitment to making music of the highest quality accessible to young audiences.

He served as associate conductor for the Utah Symphony, which he joined in August 2000. O’Neil

has guest conducted the Houston Symphony, Houston Youth Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Annapolis Symphony, Florida Philharmonic, Tulsa Philharmonic, Portland Symphony (Maine), the Lubbock Symphony, the Boise Philharmonic, the Salt Lake Symphony, and the Columbus Symphony in Ohio. O’Neil studied piano performance at the Oberlin College Conservatory, served as the assistant conductor of the Eastman School Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras at the Eastman School of Music, and earned a master’s degree in orchestral conducting at Rice University, where he was the director of the Campanile Orchestra, a community/university orchestra. In 1999, he served as director of orchestras at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas. In the spring of 2003, O’Neil was selected by the League of American Orchestras (LAO) to conduct an orchestra comprised of members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and advanced students from the University of Southern California in Synergy, a program created to promote young, contemporary composers. Also in the spring of 2003, O’Neil was selected by LAO to appear on the Conductor Preview with the Jacksonville Symphony.

O’Neil is prominently featured with the Colorado Symphony as conductor and creator of the Inside the Score series, in addition to appearances in the Masterworks, Family, Pops, and Holiday Series.

HILARY KOLE, VOCALSHilary has been called a “musical marvel” by Rex Reed. She has recorded with such luminaries as David Brubeck, Michel LeGrand, Hank Jones, John Pizzarelli, and Freddy Cole.

Hilary began her professional career at the legendary Rainbow Room as the youngest singer ever to grace the stage. She was the Rainbow

Room’s lead singer for two years, while still attending Manhattan School of Music for Composition. From there, she debuted at the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel, at Lincoln Center as part of the “American Songbook Series,” and appeared at Carnegie Hall in a Tribute to Oscar Peterson. She also performed at the Canadian memorial to Dr. Peterson alongside Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, and Nancy Wilson as Oscar’s protégé.

Theatre credits include co-writing, arranging, and starring in the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway shows Our Sinatra and Singing Astaire. Hilary also won the Delius Award for composition while still in high school.

Hilary regularly headlines with major orchestras including the New York Pops, The Colorado Symphony, The Florida Philharmonic, Harrisburg, and more.

Additional major concert appearances include headlining in New York City at Town Hall, The Carlyle, The Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center, 54 Below, Zankel Hall, the 92nd Street Y, and Carnegie Hall. Abroad, Hilary headlines throughout the world at major European music festivals, jazz clubs, and performing arts centers with her jazz quintet.

Hilary’s debut recording, “Haunted Heart,” was released to critical acclaim, winning the Gold Disc Award in Japan, and receiving 4 stars in Downbeat magazine. Her newest recording, an unprecedented compilation of piano and vocal duets with the world’s greatest pianists, entitled “You Are There,” was a USA Today pick for “Pick of the Week” and “Best Album of the Year” in 2010, in addition to winning the 2011 Bistro Award for Recording of the Year.

ABOUT THE COLORADO SYMPHONY

ABOUT JUDY GARLAND

The Colorado Symphony performs more than 150 concerts during its regular season at Boettcher Concert Hall and on location throughout the state and region. 2013/14 season highlights include appearances by virtuoso violinists Itzhak Perlman and Joshua Bell, and classical pianists Natasha Paremski and Stephen Hough. This season’s Pops and Classic Rock series feature rock greats, iconic film scores and Broadway blockbusters. The Holiday, Family and Inside the Score series

offer musical favorites, captivating collaborations and interactive concerts for music lovers of all ages. For more about the Colorado Symphony, visit www.coloradosymphony.org. This concert is part of the Colorado Symphony’s On Location program; for more details on these community concerts, please contact Director of Artistic Partnerships and Strategic Initiatives, Jeannene Bragg, at [email protected].

Judy Garland was born Frances Ethel Gumm on June 10, 1922 in Minnesota. A star of many classic American films, Garland is remembered today for her tremendous talent as well as her troubled family life. She began performing at an early age with her older sisters, then began traveling with her mother to perform in solo acts in nightclubs, cabarets, hotels, and theaters across the country. Garland signed her first movie contract with MGM at the age of 13 and changed her name.

She shot straight to fame in 1939 with The Wizard of Oz with, arguably, her most famous role—the precocious Dorothy who gets swept away in a tornado and lands in the magical world of Oz. Her memorable performance, as well as the delivery of her signature song, “Over the Rainbow,” earned her an Oscar in 1940 for Best Performance by a Juvenile.

Along with her tremendous talent, Garland was also known for her troubled personal life. She died in London on June 22, 1969 from an alleged accidental overdose.

ASCEND – CAMPAIGN FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

In any project, the benefits of leverage can be amazing. The University of Denver is committed to leadership in leveraging our partnership with you. DU has committed $5 million to match every new gift of $10,000 or more in the Campaign for the Performing Arts. Your gift can even be personalized and designated for a wide range of purposes, including endowment of Newman Center Presents programming and educational residency activities. Even more remarkable, DU will also match any binding planned gifts from your estate!

We urge you to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity today. Please consider giving generously to the performing arts at the University of Denver. Seize the opportunity to leverage your gift for the enrichment and education of current and future generations of students, and for the living cultural fabric of our community.

To discuss DU’s Campaign for the Performing Arts, contact Isabel Werner, Director of Development - Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, [email protected] or call 303.871.4472.

WHAT GIFT DOLLARS CAN REALLY DOThanks to the generosity of numerous long-time supporters of the Newman Center for the Performing Arts: Beverlee Henry and the Honorable Robert Fullerton (Newman Center Endowed Fund for Experiential and Cultural Learning), Celeste Grynberg (The Grynberg Family Endowment for Dance Programming), The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado (The Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado Endowment for Diverse and Innovative Music), and Porter Adventist Hospital (The Porter Adventist Hospital Endowment for the Performing Arts).The purpose of these endowed funds is to produce annual income to support various aspects of the Newman Center Presents series.

In honor of the University of Denver’s sesquicentennial, an interactive exhibit introduces visitors to some of the people, programs and traditions that have made our campus community exceptional. Mixing artifacts and video clips with text and archival photographs, “Tradition and Legacy” shows how aspiration and vision came to animate the DU experience.

THE LASTING DIFFERENCE MADE BY ENDOWMENT GIFTS

The construction of the Newman Center and all its public and backstage spaces was only made possible by generous donors whose gifts have been recognized through the naming of these spaces. Moreover, the annual income from the Newman Center Building Endowment helps ensure constant care and upkeep of our world-class venues and state-of-the-art systems that make possible the highest quality of Newman Center Presents productions.

To maintain this excellence the Newman Center Building Endowment needs to grow, and many naming opportunities remain for your gift to the Endowment.

Your gift to name a space in the Newman Center offers lasting recognition of your support of the Newman Center’s programming, operations and facilities. Both current and testamentary gifts to the Newman Center Building Endowment are welcome. If you have already included the Newman Center in your estate, please let us know so that we may appropriately thank you.

If you would like more information about how to make a lasting difference to the Newman Center Building Endowment, to Newman Center Presents, or to help the Newman Center continue to make a lasting contribution to the performing arts in our community, please contact Isabel Werner, Director of Development, at 303.871.4472 ([email protected]) or Aaron Ciszek, Director of Development, at 303.871.2315 ([email protected]).

DONOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe Newman Center for the Performing Arts would like to express its gratitude to the following individuals and organizations who have given generously in 2012-2013 (July 2012 to June 2013) to support the Newman Center’s Scholarship, Maintenance, Operations and Programming, and Marketing Funds, the newly created Newman Center Endowments discussed earlier, and Newman Center Memberships initiated during this time period:
