Wed. Nov 2, 2016 at 7:00 pm

*This is event is free and open to the public.  Tickets are required for entrance, and can be picked up at The Pullo Center Box Office beginning August 22.

Esther Bauer was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1924. Her father, Dr. Alberto Jonas was the principal of the Jewish Girls School, and her mother Dr. Marie Anna Jonas was a medical doctor. On July 19th, 1942, Esther Bauer, her mother, and her father were deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia, where from one minute to the next they were prisoners. Her father died six weeks later of meningitis. After two years there, she married because her then friend, not yet husband, got the order to be sent with many others to the city of Dresden to build up a new ghetto. That was, of course, a lie. He and the other men wound up in Auschwitz. After the men had left, their spouses were told they could go voluntarily after their husbands. Esther went and they all landed in Auschwitz where her husband was murdered. On October 10th, 1944 Esther’s mother was herself deported to Auschwitz and was murdered there. Esther survived. Esther was exuberant upon being liberated, and decided to “live each day, have fun and be a human being.”

In this unforgettable and moving lecture, Esther Bauer recounts her harrowing experiences as a Holocaust Survivor. Esther recounts the story of her amazing, educated, and liberated mother Dr. Marie Anna Jonas who was a medical doctor who was stripped of her ability to practice by the Reich Citizen Law. Esther speaks to students as often as she can so that they will “learn what happened, and see to it that it never happens again.” Esther’s bounding energy and joy for life is infectious, and will leave you filled with respect, awe appreciation for the indestructibility of the human spirit.

Vienna Boys Choir - Christmas in Vienna

Sat. Dec 17, 2016 at 7:30 pm

The illustrious group of child musicians has been delighting music lovers across the globe for six centuries with their purity of tone, distinctive charm and popular repertoire. Christmas in Vienna showcases these gifted musicians with voices of unforgettable beauty in an extraordinary program featuring Austrian folk songs, classical masterpieces, popular songs and, of course, holiday favorites.

This quintessential boys' choir has a long tradition:

Boys have been singing at Vienna's Imperial Chapel since 1296. In 1498, Maximilian I moved his court to Vienna and instructed there were to be six singing boys among his musicians. This marked the foundation of what is known today as the Vienna Boys Choir. Over the centuries, the Viennese Court attracted musicians like Mozart, Salieri, and Bruckner; Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, and Franz Schubert were themselves choristers. 
The Chapel Imperial always travelled with the Emperor. Today, touring is part of the chorister's education. Since 1926, the Vienna Boys Choir has undertaken around 1000 tours in 97 different countries; in that time, the boys have sung more than 27.000 concerts.

There are currently 100 choristers between the ages of nine and fourteen, divided into four touring choirs. They give around 300 concerts each year, attended by almost half a million spectators around the world. 
Together with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna State Opera Chorus, the boys provide the music for the Sunday Mass in the Imperial Chapel, as they have done since 1498. The Vienna Boys Choir can also be seen (and heard!) in the  choir's own concert hall, Muth. Acclaimed Director Curt Faudon has created four films with the Choir. The first, Silk Road: Songs Along the Road and Time (2009) featured never before seen performances around the world and exclusive behind the scenes access. Songs for Mary, a biography of the Virgin Mary in 21 motets and songs followed in 2013. In 2015 they released Bridging the Gap – the Power of Singing and Good Shepherds. Also in 2015, the Choir entered a long-term partnership with Universal Music – Deutsche Grammophon; the first release was a holiday recording, "Merry Christmas From Vienna".

Cirque Mechanics - Pedal Punk

Tue. May 2, 2017 at 7:30 pm

From the inventive Cirque Mechanics comes Pedal Punk, a “Steampunk” - inspired acrobatic whirlwind where cycling is the escape from technology obsessed society. In Pedal Punk we experience the excitement, artistry and thrill that occurs when a zany bike shop mechanic interacts with cyclists and bikes, and repairs more than broken pieces. He creates wondrous machines that come to live and inspires the cyclist in all of us to unite with our inner Pedal Punk.

Creative Director Chris Lashua spent most of his career on a BMX bike and inside a German Wheel. This new production showcases his innate passion and fascination for all things bicycles and cycling. The synergy between man and machine, the hallmark of Cirque Mechanics, is magnificently exposed in Pedal Punk. It is that synergy that The New York Times called “exceptional, evocative, eye-catching and grossly entertaining…in a word, excellent.”
 

The Branford Marsalis Quartet with special guest Kurt Elling

Thu. Apr 20, 2017 at 7:30 pm

The Branford Marsalis Quartet will be joined by guest-vocalist Kurt Elling in a singular collaboration of musical forces. The tight-knit working band featuring Marsalis on saxophones, Joey Calderazzo on piano, Eric Revis on bass, and Justin Faulkner on drums rarely invites other musicians into the folds of their nearly telepathically cohesive unit, and Elling’s deep jazz vocabulary, technical versatility, and outstanding intonation will enable the band to perform a variety of material in new ways.

Energized by the artistic promise of this collaboration, the band members have all contributed new arrangements to perform with this special line-up and will be looking beyond the Great American Songbook. Although following the format of a standard jazz quartet with vocals, the collaboration between jazz’s most intense band and one of jazz’s foremost singer should prove to be anything but standard.

*VIP tickets include a meet and greet with Branford Marsalis
