CHICAGO — The University of Chicago Presents, the University’s professional music presenting organization, announces its 2015/16 season. The series, which spans a variety of genres in beautiful, intimate venues drawing on the intellectual resources of the University, adds several mini-residencies, offers a roster rich with world-class talent and beloved masterworks, and expands early music and jazz programming. In its 72nd year, UChicago Presents invites listeners to experience six series spanning classical, contemporary, early, jazz, and world music. In all, 26 unique programs will feature virtuosic performances of world-touring artists on the historic University of Chicago campus.

UChicago Presents hosts several residencies in the coming season. The renowned and inimitable composer Philip Glass, University of Chicago alum (AB 1956, mathematics and philosophy), returns to campus. His mid-February mini-residency features a performance of The Etudes, a public talk, and film screening. Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón will appear in a three-day residency in late May, in which he explores the idea of cultural identity of New

1 Yorkers of Puerto Rican descent. Third Coast Percussion resumes on-campus presence for a third year hosting a mini-residency and a program featuring inventive use of a single type of material in two pieces, one including a drum head, in the Chicago premiere of Donnacha Dennehy’s Tension of Skin. The Pacifica Quartet returns as Don Michael Randel Ensemble-in- Residence, opening with the acclaimed British pianist Paul Lewis in a program including Beethoven’s late Piano Sonata No. 32, Op. 111.

The UChicago Presents’ Classic Concert series will present leading classical artists and diverse repertoire with The Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chamber Ensemble opening the season in a program of beloved chamber works, including Schubert’s epic Octet. Arcanto Quartet, the first of two European quartets this series to make its Chicago debut (the other being the Artemis Quartet), offers fresh and eloquent interpretations of chamber music. Anthony McGill, Chicago native and New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist, joins Vermont-based Musicians from Marlboro in their 50th anniversary season tour. The program showcases the famed Brahms clarinet quintet. Philip Glass offers his piano etudes, performed by five pianists, including the composer himself. The world’s leading guitar duo, brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad, and Clarice Assad, Sérgio’s daughter and a sought-after composer, pianist, and vocalist, conclude the series with Memories from Rio, a program inspired by their native Brazil.

The Howard Mayer Brown International Early Music Series expands its season from four concerts to five, offering audiences historically researched programming, original instrument practices and touring international artists. Bach Collegium Japan, with Joanne Lunn, soprano and Masaaki Suzuki, conductor/harpsichordist, kicks off the series with gems from the Baroque era, and South African pianist Kristian Bezuidenhout, who first gained international recognition after winning the prestigious first prize as well as the audience prize in the Bruges Fortepiano Competition, demonstrates his skill on the rarely heard fortepiano. Anonymous 4 concludes their farewell tour in a final performance with UChicago in a Christmas program of English carols and hymns. Early music star Jordi Savall and award-winning bodhrán player Frank McGuire offer a program of music in the Celtic Irish, Scottish, and American traditions, nicely timed near St. Patrick’s Day. The final concert of the series features one of the leading recorder players of her generation, Dorothée Oberlinger, with harpsichordist Florian Birsak and baroque cellist Marco Testori.

Contempo begins its 51st season with a new artistic director, composer Marta Ptaszynska, and a tribute to Pulitzer Prize winner Shulamit Ran (Contempo artistic director, 2002-2015). Ptaszynska’s programming vision for the new music collective includes music by leading European composers and the return of the Contempo-Jazz Double Bill. The series continues with gifted ensembles-in-residence Pacifica Quartet and eighth blackbird and conductor Cliff Colnot.

In its third year, Jazz at the Logan expands its footprint with the inclusion of vocalists. The dazzling Cécile McLorin Salvant opens the season. Next, pianist/composer Billy Childs and his quintet, with vocalists Becca Stevens, Alicia Olatuja, and Chicago-based Spektral Quartet, present his project on the singer-songwriter Laura Nyro in Map to the Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro. Other series highlights include the phenomenal multi-instrumentalist Warren Wolf’s Chicago debut as the leader of his Wolfpack; a musical trip to the Caribbean with GRAMMY award-winning drummer Dion Parson and the 21st Century Band; and a signature multimedia presentation, Identities Are Changeable, by multiple GRAMMY nominee and composer/saxophonist Miguel Zenón.

2 Music Across Genres, known for showcasing diverse ensembles and exploring music, creates an unlikely connection through the Irish bodhrán. The ever-inventive Third Coast Percussion explores playing techniques and offers a modern take on the instrument, while Jordi Savall and Frank McGuire, also performing as part of the Howard Mayer Brown Early Music Series, present the instrument in its classic, 18th century Irish and Scottish folk music context. Music Across Genres concludes with the enchanting female a cappella ensemble Zulal’s interpretations of rich and beautiful, ancient Armenian folk melodies.
