Arise. Begin again. The cover art for this brochure is the inspiration for my introduc-tion. It reminds me of the sun bursting in the morning. Just like the sun emerges anew each day, the main curtain at Emens College-Community Auditorium will con-tinue to rise revealing both tried and true performances as well as fresh, little known

gems to stir the imagination. The cover imagery may also conjure the notion of a

Kaleidoscope. Can you remember looking into the view finder and turning the end of this visual

marvel to see the magnificent metamorphosis of shape and color? The dictionary describes a kalei-

doscope in several ways including “display”, “complex pattern”, “changing scene”, “set”, “series” and “chain of

events”. How appropriate these terms are when reflecting upon this venue and the programming shared by so many. This past year we celebrated 50 years of magic moments and memories on our Emens stage. What a glorious year it was with major convocations, celebrities and stunning shows. Now we break forth upon the next half-century with a new season of

programming conceived to entertain, enrich, enlighten, and inspire. Striving to consistently meet expectations and promote arts participation is a worthy goal. Engaging audiences with enter-taining performances while embracing values of creativity, life-long learning and multicultural appreciation is our aim. Hopefully our events continue to inspire, capture the imagination, bear emotional

resonance, stimulate intellectual curiosity, and build a stronger sense of belonging and community. I welcome you to join the staff here at Emens Auditorium this coming season for what we believe will be an exceptionally varied and interesting medley of arts and entertainment experiences throughout 2014-2015. The best is yet to come!

“Every day that is born into

the world comes like a burst of

music and rings the whole day

through, and you make of it a

dance, a dirge, or a life march,

as you will.” — Thomas Carlyle

Nelson Rangell Jazziz maga-zine writes that Nelson Rangell is “an artist of depth, a master of song, and an impro-viser non pareil.” Such praise is a confirma-tion of what contemporary jazz fans have known since the Denver based saxophonist emerged in the late 80s: that Rangell is one of the most exciting and diverse perform-ers in the genre, equally adept at soprano, alto, and tenor saxophone, as well as being a genuine virtuoso on flute and piccolo.

Hot Sardines The Sardine sound — wartime Paris via New Orleans, or the oth-er way around — is steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Waller used to make: Straight-up, foot-stomping jazz. (Literally — the band includes a tap dancer whose feet count as two members of the rhythm section). They manage to in-voke the sounds of a near-century ago and stay resolutely in step with the current age. February 12, 7:30 PM

Carlos Nunez When the Los Angeles Times suggested, “if it’s possible to become a pop star playing traditional music on bagpipes and recorder, Núñez could be the man,” it may have been an understatement. Carlos Núñez is the world’s most famous player of the gaita, the bagpipes of Galicia, Spain’s northwest, Atlantic Ocean-abutting region rich in vi-brant, uniquely expressive Celtic traditional music.

The Grand Slambovians The music of The Grand Slambovians has been variously described as “hillbilly-Floyd,” “folk-pop,” “alt-country, roots-rock,” and “surreal Americana;” a clear indicator of its singularly indescribable uniqueness. Danc-ing freely between all existing religious and philosophical mythologies, the music is up-lifting, empowering, and a lot of fun. “They took the stage by storm!” — The New York Times April 23, 7:30 PM

Quartet San Francisco Grammy nominees for their last three CD releases and International Tango com-petition winners (New York), Quartet San Francisco expresses itself in its agility and standout virtuosic playing. Quartet San Francisco was founded in 2001 by cele-brated Bay Area violinist and composer-ar-ranger Jeremy Cohen. Along with violinist Matt Szemela, violist Chad Kaltinger, and cellist Kelly Maulbetsch, these crossover specialists excel in multiple styles — from jazz to tango, pop to funk, blues to blue-grass, gypsy swing to big band and be-yond.

Sean Chen

“He brought piquant charm and prodigious fingerwork to play in (Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on the Theme of Paganini) and a lush and ruminative spirit to (Rozsa’s Spellbound Concerto).”

— Ventura County Star

“It was the best perfor-mance of (Bartok’s Concer-to No. 2) that I have ever heard.”

New York Voices

“New York Voices lives up to its reputation as the most exciting vocal ensemble in current jazz … to collect such quality voices in one group is rare enough, yet the real trick of the New York Voices is how well they mesh.”

— The Boston Herald

“Meticulous, polished, and dead serious in their pursuit of vocal excellence, the Voices manage to maintain a genuine playful approach that makes it all look a little too easy.”

— Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild

February 10, 7:30 PM

Hilary Hahn

“At 33, (Hahn) sits atop the pantheon of stellar violin-ists.”

— New York Times

“She deserved the ovation. Her performance began inauspiciously with an authority that felt cool, even chilly. But as Bach’s lines wove together, her playing gradually deepened into something intense, adven-turous, and affecting. It was a microcosm of Ms. Hahn’s career. Born in 1979, she started out as a prodigy of rare clarity and virtuosity and has developed into a daring, mature artist eager for new collaborations and repertory.”

— The Boston Globe
