RAISIN’ CANE
WITH
JASMINE GUY
AND
THE AVERY SHARPE TRIO
Saturday, February 23, 2013 at 8:00 pm
Main Stage - $34
Raisin’ Cane, called a ‘Harlem
Renaissance Odyssey,’ stars the talented and versatile Jasmine Guy, actress
(A Different World), singer and dancer. This dramatic production depicts
Harlem in the 1920’s: a pent up explosion of brilliant prose, poetry, politics
and music of African-Americans who were ready to have their say.
Backed by a superb original score performed by the
Avery Sharpe Trio, Raisin’ Cane features striking photos and paintings of the
artists and inhabitants of Harlem during this period, and is a unique theatrical
experience unlike any other.
It was an exceptional time.
It was our time.

REGINA CARTER:
REVERSE THREAD
Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 8:00 pm
Recital Hall - $38
RenaissanceJazz sponsored
by Renaissance Technologies
In
Reverse Thread, world-renowned jazz violinist Regina Carter plays African
folk melodies re-imagined, making music that’s jazzy and beautiful. By adding an
accordion and kora, the West African harp traditionally played by village
storytellers, Ms. Carter has found the perfect complement to her sumptuous
sound. Some of the music from her album Reverse Thread is based on field
recordings of singing by Ugandan Jews, other pieces layer the rhythms of African
music with harmonies from India and Puerto Rico.
Whatever the source of inspiration, each work is better than the one before,
resulting in a new and uplifting experience like no other.
