Baltimore Consort MULTIPLE MASTER CLASSES WITH THE CONSORT MEMBERS, OCT. 7, 12:30 P.M. IN THE DIEHN CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

The Baltimore Consort has delighted audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The ensemble’s arrangements of early

music from England, Scotland, France, Italy and Spain speak to the heart as well as the mind. Their love for the early music of English/Scottish heritage has led the musicians to delve into the rich trove of traditional balladry and dance tunes preserved in the Appalachian Mountains and Nova Scotia. More recently, the group has explored the extraordinary repertory from the Iberian Peninsula in a program entitled “Cancionero: Early Music from Spain.” The Consort tours throughout the United States and frequently in Europe. Its members have held residencies at the Walters Art Gallery and the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, and the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S.C., and have broad-cast on syndicated radio programs such as “Performance Today,” “St. Paul Sunday,” “Millennium of Music,” “Harmonia” and “On-stage” (CBC). The Consort has recorded 14 discs on the Dorian label and their CDs earned a place on the Billboard Magazine Top 10 list.

TICKETS: $10 STUDENTS, $15 GENERALTickets can be purchased online at oduartstix.com, or by calling (757) 683-5305 during regular box office hours.

The Baltimore Consort is perhaps the best balancing act of period authenticity, instrumental precision and sheer fun in the early music community today. —Times-Dispatch, Richmond, Va.

Few early music players have more fun making music than the Baltimore [seven], who through their performances, take the position that echoes of Renaissance secular music are still to be found in modern folk practice. —The New Yorker

Apple Hill String QuartetMASTER CLASS OCT. 21, 12:30 P.M. CHANDLER RECITAL HALL

The Apple Hill String Quartet has earned accolades from around the world for its interpretive mastery of such

traditional repertoire as Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Beethoven and Ravel — along with its special dedication to seldom heard masterworks and contemporary music. Its members have performed concerts extensively throughout the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia as part of Apple Hill’s innovative Playing for Peace™ program. Education is an integral part of the quartet’s mission and the musicians conduct mini-residencies in embassies, communities, schools and universities throughout the world. They also spend countless hours as dedicated teacher-performers at Apple Hill’s renowned Summer Chamber Music Workshop held each summer. As 21st-century musicians, the quartet is deeply committed to commissioning new works. A commission by composer Daniel Sedgwick premiered in 2009 and was performed to critical acclaim throughout the U.S., Europe and the Middle East. Featured composers have included Viktor Ullmann (“String Quartet #3,” written in the Theresienstadt concentration camp), Turkish composer Ekrem Zeki Ün, Armenian composers Alan Hovhaness and Ashot Zohrabian, Syrian composer Kareem Roustom, and American composers Roger Sessions, John Harbison, Thomas Oboe Lee, Larry Siegel and Charles Ives.

The legendary Norwegian tubist Øystein Baadsvik is reunited with

ODU’s own Andrey Kasparov and Oksana Lutsyshyn with works by Bach, Grieg, Kraft, Piazzolla and Baadsvik. Both pianists performed with Baadsvik during his American debut in 1994 in Bloomington, Ind., as he was launching his spectacular international career. Øystein Baadsvik is the only tuba virtuoso to make a career exclusively as a soloist. His multifaceted music has taken him all over the world. The unique virtuosity and musi-cality he brings to the tuba has established him as the exemplar of the instrument. Baadsvik studied under the celebrated tuba player Harvey Phillips, Indiana University professor emeritus, and with the legendary Arnold Jacobs, principal tuba with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 40 years. Baadsvik’s international career began in 1991 when he was awarded two prizes at the prestigious Concours International d’Exécution Musicale in Geneva. Baadsvik works constantly to expand the musical aspects of the tuba and has premiered some 40 solo works by composers from the U.S., Russia, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. In this ongoing process, he has developed new tuba-playing techniques that have been used in a number of more recent works for the instrument. He is an active recording artist whose CDs receive unstinting praise. This concert is in conjunction with the Norfolk Chamber Consort. For more information about the Norfolk Chamber Consort see ncconsort.org. Øystein Baadsvik will perform with the Virginia Wind Symphony Nov. 9. For information about this concert see virginiawindsymphony.org.

Food, Family and Feelings in The Book of Sarah: The visual Autobiography of Sarah LightmanLOBBYThis exhibition is in cooperation with the 37th Annual Literary Festival, “The Hungry Heart is Telling You”

The Book of Sarah” is an autobiographical text/image project. Begun in 1995, the project also references

the biblical silence of her namesake, the Matriarch Sarah, and her unpreserved voice. “The Book of Sarah” transforms Jewish history into contemporary visual herstory. The exquisite, meticulous and often fragmentary pencil drawings that form the majority of “The Book of Sarah” transform unhappy experiences into something beautiful. It seeks to distill time and experience into art that, though based on Lightman’s personal experience, can also have universal appeal and resonance. “The Book of Sarah” will be published as a graphic novel in 2015 by Myriad Editions.

Comprised of resin layered with acrylic pigments on wood panels, the paintings of Kansas City artist Kent Michael Smith

explore the collision between the human and the natural worlds. Solid, colored shapes float above diffused, organic backgrounds, harmonizing at a distance but creating a sense of dissonance at close range. Smith draws inspiration from motifs as varied as NASCAR graphics, hunting camouflage, and urban graffiti.

Shaped Polarities, works by Fiona Ross and Alan RosenbaumCHANGING GALLERY

Richmond-based artists Fiona Ross and Alan Rosenbaum tread the line between abstraction and representation

by focusing on form and process, yet still inviting reference and association. Rosenbaum, who aptly describes his ceramic sculptures as “uncanny” and “intimate,” juxtaposes linear and rounded, smooth and rough, and organic and mechanical. Ross offers a series of delicate paintings on paper and a site-specific wall drawing, that, according to the artist, “create a feeling of both stillness and awareness of the constancy of natural forces.”

This exhibition focuses on the growth of Old Dominion Uni-versity’s self-taught collection, beginning with the initial gift

of more than 350 objects from Williamsburg collectors Baron and Ellin Gordon in 2007 and continuing with a number of strategic acquisitions in the years since. Works by Vollis Simpson, Howard Finster and Minnie Adkins that have not been on view in recent years will join newly acquired works by Samuel Kahn, Derek Webster and others. As it has evolved, the self-taught collection speaks to the rich variety of work being produced by diverse artists outside the academic mainstream.

Oct. 6 – Oct. 10, 2014

The 2014 Old Dominion University Literary Festival foregrounds the

relationships of food and sustenance in a variety of contexts. As we require food for our bodies, we

also require food for the mind and spirit. As oceans rise and natural calamities increase in frequency and violence, as wars rage and

food and fuel sources reach critical points across the world, we face our individual and collective futures with

a greater sense of anxiety.

Besides a deeper kind of nourishment, in poems and stories,

songs and art we find the promise of healing energy and inspiration. We hope all will be fortified for all that is

yet to come.
