Staller Center for the Arts

Boasting a 14-year history as a solid, working unit, The Tierney Sutton Band has headlined Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, Jazz at Lincoln Center and packed New York City’s legendary Oak Room in one of its most critically acclaimed and commercially successful runs. A Grammy nomination for Best Vocal Jazz Album, as well as scores of dedicated fans, speak to the band’s success in creating music that is at once elegant, provocative and spellbinding.

With renditions of “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” “My Heart Belongs to Daddy,” “Whatever Lola Wants,” and “Skylark,” Sutton explores temptation and materialism. She and her fellow musicians—pianist Christian Jacob, bassists Trey Henry and Kevin Axt, and drummer Ray Brinker—take a philosophical and spiritual approach to standards and bring freshness to all their songs. Staller Center is delighted to bring them to Stony Brook this season.

Step back in time exactly 71 years to Halloween Eve in 1938 as they recreate the breathless pace and convincing detail of Orson Welles’ infamous radio broadcast and make it clear why H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds is truly the mother of all space invasions. The original live sixty-minute broadcast of an “eyewitness report” of an invasion from Mars caused a national panic.

The Lost World, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s campy adventure, follows a scientific expedition deep into the Amazon jungle—and back in time. The fearless explorers discover a place where dinosaurs have evolved beside ape-men and the fate of the human race hangs in the balance. From riding the rapids to dodging whizzing arrows, The Lost World will take you on a ride you won’t soon forget.

The cast of both productions will feature stars of the science fiction TV and movie world.

Blige, and won acclaim for her solos on Wynton Marsalis’ Blood on the Fields tour and Cassandra Wilson’s Travelin’ Miles concert at Lincoln Center.

This sunny 19th century comic classic has been called one of the happiest ballets in existence. Encompassed in three lively acts are lighthearted renderings of love, loss, mistaken identity, revenge, reconciliation and to wrap it all up, a wedding with the promise of happily ever after. Coppelia, with choreography by Arthur Saint-Leon and music by Leo Delibes, had its premiere on May 25, 1870 in Paris and was an instant hit. If Giselle is the 19th century’s great tragic ballet, dance historians often cite Coppelia as the century’s standout comedy.

The Moscow Festival Ballet was founded in 1989 when legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet Sergei Radchenko realized his vision of a company that would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies in an independent new company within the framework of Russian classical ballet. The Moscow Festival Ballet has toured extensively throughout the United States since 1997 and returns this year for a 17-week tour.

With Brad Mehldau on piano and Joshua Redman on tenor saxophone the Staller Center audience will be treated to two remarkable figures of contemporary jazz and “magical moments of interplay between two mesmerizing musicians.” (10th International Festival for Jazz and More)

As a young man he developed his own style and stepped out of the shadow of his famous father, Dewey Redman, as well as his idols John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Dexter Gordon. He actually played the latter in the Robert Altman film Kansas City. This Redman and Mehldau concert promises to shine with creative brilliance.
