GILBERTO GIL Gilbertos Samba Saturday, April 4, 8 pm Hill Auditorium (825 North University Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109) Sponsored by: University of Michigan Health System Gilberto Gil releases a new album in 2014 that celebrates the music of the great João Gilberto in this two Gilbertos event. While in college studying business administration, Gil heard singer and guitarist João Gilberto on the radio and was immediately smitten; he bought a guitar and learned to play and sing bossa nova. An original founder of the Tropicália movement in Brazil in the late 1960s who was exiled to London for his revolutionary role in conflating the seemingly threatening lyrics of US and European rock music with Brazilian musical traditions, Gil is today recognized as a pioneer of world music. From musical revolutionary to international pop star to beloved statesman, Brazil s former Minister of Culture returns to Ann Arbor with his romantic homage to the father of bossa nova. Performance note: This concert will be partially performed in Gilberto Gil s native Brazilian Portuguese.

3 Superstar musician, activist, and former Brazilian Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil is interviewed by professors Sueann Caulfield (History and Residential College) and Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof (History and American Culture), and LACS Brazil Initiative Manager, Elizabeth (Bebete) Martins. The interview will cover Gil's involvement in the cultural history of Brazil since the 1960's, be punctuated by videoclips of some of his most memorable performances, and be followed by a Q&A. Presented by the Brazil Initiative of the U-M Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. Getting to know Gilberto Gil: 3 Fast Facts Gilberto Gil was born in 1942 and grew up in the countryside in the Bahia (Northeast) region of Brazil. His mother encouraged his musical leanings and he started his musical life playing drums, the trumpet and the accordion. With over 50 albums released, Gilberto Gil has 12 gold records, 5 platinum albums, 7 Grammys and more than 4 million records sold. When he was appointed Minister of Culture ( ) Gil was only the second black person in the country s history to serve in the Brazilian cabinet (the first was Pele). He is considered a spokesperson for Brazil s emerging Black consciousness movement. More information can be found at Gilberto Gil s website. Previous UMS appearances: This will be Gilberto Gil s 3 rd performance at UMS. He debuted in 2007 and his last appeared in MAX RAABE AND THE PALAST ORCHESTER Thursday, April 9, 7:30 pm Hill Auditorium (825 North University Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109) Supported by: Michael and Leslee Perlstein Media Partner: Michigan Radio 91.7 FM Dashing, dapper, and debonair, Max Raabe might have walked straight out of the Golden Age of Berlin in the 1920s. With his elegant poise, suave sophistication, and silky-smooth baritone, he brings to life the songs and style of a bygone age. Born into a family of farmers just as the Beatles were serving their apprenticeship in the bars and clubs of Hamburg, Raabe s childhood musical tastes were formed by his discovery of a weekly program of 1920s music on German radio. His passion was further roused by a record he found in his parents cupboard, a humorous instrumental called I m Crazy About Hilda. Before long, he was collecting 78s in flea markets and junk shops, and by age 16 was an expert on the songs and styles of the Weimar era. Raabe s deadpan humor and charmingly meticulous recreations of the standards as they used to be sung in formal evening wear with an orchestra is guaranteed to take the audience away from their everyday problems and into another world. The time has never been better to discover or rediscover timeless tunes by legends like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Fred Astaire. April 2015 Events Page 3 of 11

4 Getting to know Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester: 3 Fast Facts Max Raabe, born in 1962, founded the Palast Orchester with fellow students in Since his graduation as certified baritone he and his ensemble have been enjoying international success on concert tours through Europe, USA, Asia and Israel. In addition to his work with the Palaast Orchester, he has teamed up with German singer/musician/composer Annette Humpe for two albums of original music (in 2010 and 2012). Good Wife star Julianna Margulies is a huge fan, and Max Raabe played at Marilyn Manson s wedding to burlesque performer Dita Von Teese. More information can be found at Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester s website. Previous UMS appearances: This will be the group s 2 nd UMS performance following their debut in AN EVENING WITH HERBIE HANCOCK AND CHICK COREA Thursday, April 16, 7:30 pm Hill Auditorium (825 North University Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109) Hosted by: ArborBike, Stout Systems Endowed support from: JazzNet Endowment Fund Media Partner: WEMU 89.1 FM and Ann Arbor s 107one Chick Corea closed out 2013 with a tribute to his friend and musical compatriot Herbie Hancock at the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors. Hancock is a true icon of modern music, and there are few artists in the music industry who have had more influence on acoustic and electric jazz and R&B. A DownBeat Hall of Famer and NEA Jazz Master, Chick Corea is at the vanguard of improvised music, both as a leading pianist forging new ground with his acoustic jazz bands and as an innovative electric keyboardist. He has attained living legend status after five decades of unparalleled creativity and an artistic output that is simply staggering. Their musical relationship dates back to 1968, when Corea replaced Hancock in the piano chair of the Miles Davis band. In 1978, they toured together as an acoustic piano duo, which surprised the music world at the peak of the jazz-rock fusion era. Both of them released double albums drawn from those live tour performances (part of one album was recorded in Hill Auditorium). The two haven t recorded together since, but they have reunited for acclaimed duo appearances and join forces for an evening that is sure to be one of the most memorable of the season.

5 Hancock was born in Chicago in 1940 and by age 11 was playing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Corea formed Stretch Records in 1992, a label committed to breaking musical boundaries. Hancock has been quoted saying, When I listen back to some of the duet tracks we've made, half the time I can't tell who's Chick and who's me. More information can be found at Herbie Hancock s and Chick Corea s websites. Previous UMS appearances: This performance marks Herbie Hancock s third appearance and Chick Corea s fourth appearance on the UMS stage. Mr. Hancock made his debut in 2000 with Wayne Shorter, and Mr. Corea made his debut in 1994 with the Chick Corea Quartet.

(Frankfurt) The Artemis Quartet made its UMS debut in 2013 with an interesting pairing of Bach and Piazzolla. Now the ensemble returns with a more conventional string quartet program that features works by Dvořák, Latvian composer Peteris Vasks, and Tchaikovsky. The Berlin-based ensemble was founded in 1989 and programs its own series at the Berlin Philharmonic. In 2011, it was named Quartet in Residence at the Vienna Konzerthaus, a position it holds alongside the Belcea Quartet.

7 Autumn A group of soldiers return from the trenches. The world- weary Benedick and his friend Claudio find themselves reacquainted with Beatrice and Hero. As memories of conflict give way to a life of parties and masked balls, Claudio and Hero fall madly, deeply in love, while Benedick and Beatrice reignite their own altogether more combative courtship. Shakespeare s comic romance plays out amidst the brittle high spirits of a post-war house party, as youthful passions run riot, lovers are deceived and happiness is threatened before peace ultimately wins the day. Christopher Luscombe directs the second of Shakespeare s matching pair of comedies that rejoice in our capacity to find love in the most unlikely places. Better known as Much Ado About Nothing, the play is performed under the title Love s Labour s Won, a name possibly given to it during Shakespeare s lifetime. More information can be found at the RSC Live website. CANCELLED: SEOUL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA Myung-Whun Chung, conductor Sunwook Kim, piano Thursday, April 23, 7:30 pm Hill Auditorium (825 North University Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109) The Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra has cancelled their entire U.S. tour due to recent funding cuts. The tour was to take place between April and included a number of major U.S. venues. As a result, UMS is forced to cancel its Thursday, April 23 presentation of the orchestra in Hill Auditorium. The orchestra's tour management has informed us that the Seoul City Council, in a recent decision, did not give permission to the Orchestra to use Council funds for the U.S tour, a decision that is legally binding for the orchestra. As a result, there will be no concert on April 23. Ticketholders to this concert should contact the UMS Ticket Office to discuss their options (refund, credit, or exchange): LYON OPERA BALLET: CINDERELLA Maguy Marin, choreographer Friday, April 24, 8 pm Saturday, April 25, 8 pm Sunday, April 26, 2 pm Power Center (121 Fletcher Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109) Sponsored by Old National Bank Media Partner: Michigan Radio 91.7 FM April 2015 Events Page 7 of 11

8 Created in 1984, the Lyon Opera Ballet has revolutionized the classical ballet world, presenting new, contemporary works with witty and often surprising choreography. In Cinderella, Maguy Marin s magical retelling of the fairy tale, the story unfolds in a three-story dollhouse, a child s world of toys and wonder. Human dancers are transformed into fat-cheeked dolls, Cinderella scoots off to the ball in a toy car, Prince Charming searches for her on his rocking horse, and Prokofiev s score is spliced with coos and gurgles. The astonishingly original and magical production (New York Times) unfolds with a dreamlike quality, a vision of childhood without sentimentality but with affectionate insight. The work was last seen at UMS in 2002, also performed by Lyon Opera Ballet, and Ann Arbor is the only city in the country that will host this fascinating production this year.

Goode has won a large and devoted following for music-making of tremendous emotional power, depth, and expressiveness, and is acknowledged worldwide as one of today s leading interpreters of Classical and Romantic music.
