Carolina Chocolate Drops (Presented by UMS)
“Tradition is a guide, not a jailer. We play in an older tradition but we are modern musicians,” says Justin Robinson, a member of the popular bluegrass band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. The group’s name is a tip of the hat to the Tennessee Chocolate Drops, who lit up the music scene in the 1930s. Inspired by old-time fiddler Joe Thompson, at whose home they jammed every Thursday night during the summer and fall of 2005, the CCD started playing anywhere people would listen — town squares, farmers’ markets, and ultimately festivals and concert halls, where their foot-tapping music linked the deep tradition of the past with “dirt-floor-dance electricity.” (
Rolling Stone) Their sellout shows at the Ark last year reinforced how far they’ve come in a very short time. “This striking North Carolina trio brings a modern sizzle to the legacy of classic African-American stringbands…sparking an electrifying ruckus.” (

Murray Perahia, Piano (Presented by UMS)
Anyone who has heard one of Murray Perahia’s previous 11 UMS appearances would have to agree with the assessment of
The Los Angeles Times: “Perahia is a marvel.” In the more than 35 years he has been performing on the concert stage, he has become one of the most cherished pianists of our time. “Perahia may be the closest thing to a pure conduit of music — one in which the imagination and skill of the player are entirely at the service of the composer, not the player’s ego…The soul of a poet, the mind of a thinker, the hands of a virtuoso: No wonder audiences love this guy.” (
The Seattle Times)
Mr. Perahia’s recital repertoire will include works of J. S. Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.

ONCE MORE: ONCE THEN (Presented by the University Musical Society)
University Musical Society presents:
Faculty from the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance
Creative Arts Orchestrae
Digital Music Ensemblee
Ann Arbor Improvisation Collective
In 1960 a group of avant-garde composers came together in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to present the ONCE Festival, a modestly-scaled, artist-run event that would occur annually for several years and came to have an enormous impact on the American contemporary music scene. The festival’s founders were the superbly gifted composers Robert Ashley, Gordon Mumma, Roger Reynolds, Donald Scavarda, and the late George Cacioppo, all of whom interacted with Ross Lee Finney, the U-M School of Music’s then composer-in-residence, as well as visiting composer Roberto Gerhard. The ONCE Festival was hugely successful, as composers and performers embraced the opportunity to have their work heard by their peers as well as the general public. The Festival, which was hosted six times beginning in the early 1960s, had a significant impact on the American arts and contemporary music scene; one of the enduring outcomes was the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
On this 50th anniversary of the ONCE Festival, composers Ashley, Mumma, Reynolds, and Scavarda will reunite in Ann Arbor for the first time. This celebration of the ONCE Festival’s pioneering contributions to the American arts and contemporary music scene will include a concert of historic works selected by the composers themselves, and a second concert featuring their more recent creations. In addition to the concerts, the Institute for the Humanities will host an exhibition of historical artifacts from the ONCE Festival and a day-long symposium, providing a unique opportunity to explore Ann Arbor’s progressive role in the development of the American avant-garde. In a nod to the past, both concerts will feature 1961 ticket prices.
Program
- Roger Reynolds : Mosaic for Flute and Piano (1962)
- Robert Ashley : in memoriam…Crazy Horse (symphony) (1963)
- Gordon Mumma : Large Size Mograph (1962)
- Donald Scavarda : Groups for Piano (1959)
- Ashley : in memoriam…Esteban Gomez (quartet) (1963)
- Scavarda : FilmSCORE for Two Pianists (1962)
- Scavarda : GREYS, A FilmSCORE (silent version) (1963)
- Scavarda/Mumma : GREYS, A FilmSCORE (with sound) (1963)

Venice Baroque Orchestra (presented by UMS)
Robert McDuffie, violin
The Venice Baroque Orchestra was founded in 1997 by harpsichordist Andrea Marcon and is recognized as one of Europe’s premier ensembles devoted to period instrument performance. For this UMS debut, they perform music of their home city — Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons — paired with an “American Four Seasons” by Philip Glass featuring violinist Robert McDuffie, who has worked closely with Glass over the years and who last appeared with the Jerusalem Symphony in 2008. The VBO will perform the Vivaldi on period instruments, then switch to modern-day instruments for the Glass composition. “The first performance of [Philip Glass’s Violin Concerto No. 2, ‘The American Four Seasons,’] was so spectacularly played by the new piece’s muse, American violinist Robert McDuffie…that the event turned into one of the most exciting musical evenings of the year.” (The Toronto Star)
Program
Vivaldi :
The Four Seasons, Op. 8 (1723)

Sankai Juku: Hibiki: Resonance from Far Away (presented by UMS)
Ushio Amagatsu, the founder and artistic director of Sankai Juku, trained in classical as well as modern dance before he devoted his life to butoh. Butoh first appeared in Japan after World War II and is often defined by its playful and grotesque imagery, taboo topics, and absurd environments. Traditionally performed in white body makeup with slow, hyper-controlled, mesmerizing motion, butoh represents to Amagatsu a “dialogue with gravity,” whereas most dance forms revel in the escape from gravity. It plays with the perception of time and space through slowing down the experience — the dance equivalent of haiku, only much longer. The company, whose name translates to “studio by the mountain and the sea” and implies the characteristic serenity of the work, last appeared in Ann Arbor in 1999. In 2002, the work that they will perform, Hibiki – Resonance From Far Away, received an Olivier Award for “Best New Dance Production.” “[Ushio Amagatsu] conveys the infinitely minute yet spellbinding transformations of a world in constant metamorphosis.” (Dance Magazine)

La Capella Reial de Catalunya with Hesperion XXI and Tembembe Ensamble Continuo (presented by UMS)
"The term ‘early-music superstar’ is surely an oxymoron. But in the most understated of repertory, on the most subdued of instruments, and in the most self-effacing way, Jordi Savall comes close to being one.” (The New York Times) Jordi Savall is an exceptional figure in today’s music world. For more than 30 years, he has been devoted to the rediscovery and performance of neglected musical treasures as soloist and director of three ensembles, two of which join forces with Mexico’s Tembembe Ensamble Continuo for this concert. For the past 15 years, Tembembe Ensamble Continuo has explored the relationship between Mexican Baroque music and traditional Latin American instruments. This concert will trace the movement of music from Spain to the New World, bringing together ensembles from Spain and Mexico, and fusing Hispanic baroque and guitar music with contemporary jarocho and huasteco traditions.Further Event Information

Susurrus: A Fire Exit Production (presented by UMS)
Susurrus is a play without actors, without a stage, and with only one person in the audience — YOU. It is part radio play, part avant-garde sonic art, part lesson in bird dissection, and part stroll through nature. Audiences follow a map around the Matthaei Botanical Gardens as they listen to the piece on an iPod with headphones. The listener hears snippets about opera, memorial benches, and botany, which fit together into a mournful and poignant story of love and loss that is loosely inspired by Benjamin Britten and W.H. Auden’s collaboration on Britten’s opera, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Susurrus was presented to great acclaim and sellout audiences at Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens in 2006 and at the Ediburgh Fringe Festival in 2009, acclaimed by both The Guardian and The Scotsman as one of the top arts events of the year. Times will vary, with groups of four admitted every 15 minutes. The piece includes about a mile of walking on defined trails. Umbrellas provided in case of rain.

Tony Rock
Yes, he’s Chris Rock’s brother.
No, he doesn’t sound like Chris.
Yes, he is very funny – he has the Rock funny gene in him.
Born in the same Brooklyn New York Hospital where most of his seven brothers and one sister found their way into the world, Tony Rock, not to be confused with his favorite wrestler, was born laughing. Being the fourth child, of Rose and Julius Rock, Tony had a natural knack for entertaining, just like his brother, Chris Rock. He had to, to stay alive. Decatur Street in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, where he grew up, was one of the toughest that New York had to offer. It also provided a host of rich characters on which to draw. After just six months in the business, his first booking on the road lead him to Amsterdam. No, not to Amsterdam, New York, Amsterdam, Netherlands, where he became a more popular figure than Ed Joost Swarte.
Upon returning to New York, Tony gained a reputation as a young star in the making. In 2001, The Hollywood Reporter picked him as one of the hot young talents to come out of New York. People Magazine featured Tony in their July 7, 2003 Issue. Since February 2000, he's become bi-coastal. When in New York, he's a regular at the famous Comic Strip, Caroline's and Stand-Up New York. When in Los Angeles, He's a regular at the Comedy Store, Improv and Icehouse and he headlines at the Laugh Factory. In April 2001, he co-starred in an ABC/Disney Pilot, "Me and My Needs". In July 2001, he hosted an MTV pilot, "It's Your Show". In 2002, Tony hosted Comedy Central's successful "Battle Botts"; in 2003, Tony hosted Oxygen's "Can You Tell". In April 2003, Tony landed the Jada Pinkett-Smith/Will Smith Pilot for UPN‘s "All of Us". The series, which was picked up in the Fall of 2003, is still on the air. In June 2004, Tony was featured in Will Smith's movie, "Hitch".
Since his last performances here Tony’s star has risen even more with his TV series “The Tony Rock Project,” a stint on his brother Chris’ show, “Everybody Hates Chris,” and on “Rome is Burning,” “Chelsea Lately,” and “Entertainment Tonight.” Besides touring the country, a highlight for Tony was when he came home to New York to headline with Mark Curry and John Henton at Harlem's world famous Apollo Theater.
Get your tickets early for this show, Tony has proven to be one of the most popular acts at the Comedy Showcase!

Bill's repertoire of one-liners and high-energy stage shenanigans are one-of-a-kind. His quick wit and smooth delivery make his show one you won't want to miss, although be warned, his choice of topics can be rude, crude and downright raunchy.

Ann Arbor Art Center Presents: Martha Rock Keller: Remembering The Days
In celebration of Martha Keller's long and distinguished career, the Ann Arbor Art Center presents, "Martha Rock Keller: Remembering the Days." The exhibition will include nearly 60 works from various periods in the artist's life, and highlight her strength of vision as an artist, teacher, and writer.
Born in 1926, Martha Keller's evolution as an artist continues to this day. Her artistic practice is grounded in the concept of "art as experience," and is inspired by nature, the body, and the movements of yoga and tai chi. An insatiable appetite for new information and inspiration, as well as a certain open-ness to experience ensures that she never stops growing and innovating. The Art Center has been fortunate enough to play a role in Martha's journey for many years, and is now honored to present this exploration of her 50-year-long career to the public.

Purple Rose Theater Presents: Boeing-Boeing
"One up, one down and one pending!"
The English adaptation of this French farce features self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard juggling three fiancees, each beautiful airline hostesses with frequent layovers in Paris. Bernard's carefully constructed timetable runs like clockwork until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to his apartment at the same time, and his "ideal life" unravels all in one nonstop night.
Boeing-Boeing originally premiered in Paris in 1960. The English language adaptation, translated by Beverley Cross, was first staged in London in 1962. The play was first produced on Broadway in 1965. In 1991, the play was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most performed French play throughout the world. Boeing-Boeing was revived in London in 2007. It once again proved to be a hit with critics and audiences alike and received two Olivier Award nominations. The 2008 Broadway revival won both the Tony and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play.
