PATTERNS ∙ JUNE 2020 1 JUNE FEATURES Great Performances presents Ann with Emmy Award-winner Holland Taylor’s compelling portrayal of the legendary Texas Governor Ann Richards. Airing at 8 pm Friday, June 19, Ann is a no-holds-barred theatrical portrait of the inimitable Ann Richards, who served as Governor from 1991- 95. The play is a compelling look at the inspiring woman who enriched the lives of her followers, friends, and family. Through excerpts from public speeches and private phone calls with famous figures including the likes of Bill Clinton, Ann Richards is revealed as a complex, colorful, and captivating character with a personality even bigger than 2 PATTERNS ∙ JUNE 2020 the state from which she hailed. American Masters presents Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am, an artful and intimate meditation on the legendary storyteller that examines her life, her works and the powerful themes she has confronted throughout her literary career. Toni Morrison, author of 11 novels and recipient of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award for her novel, Beloved, as well as the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature, among many other honors, leads an assembly of her peers, critics and colleagues on an exploration of race, history, America and the human condition. The film premieres at 7 pm Tuesday, June 23. Mae West achieved great acclaim in every entertainment medium that existed during her lifetime, spanning eight decades of the 20th century. She possessed creative and economic powers unheard of for a female entertainer in the 1930s and still rare today. Though she was a comedian, West grappled with some of the more complex social issues, including race, class tensions, gender conformity, and moral hypocrisy. This is the first major documentary film to explore West’s life and career, as she “climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong” to become a writer, performer and subversive agitator for social change.

  • Concert Season 34

    Concert Season 34

    Concert Season 34 REVISED CALENDAR 2020 2021 Note from the Maestro eAfter an abbreviated Season 33, VoxAmaDeus returns for its 34th year with a renewed dedication to bringing you a diverse array of extraordinary concerts. It is with real pleasure that we look forward, once again, to returning to the stage and regaling our audiences with the fabulous programs that have been prepared for our three VoxAmaDeus performing groups. (Note that all fall concerts will be of shortened duration in light of current guidelines.) In this year of necessary breaks from tradition, our season opener in mid- September will be an intimate Maestro & Guests concert, September Soirée, featuring delightful solo works for piano, violin and oboe, in the spacious and acoustically superb St. Katharine of Siena Church in Wayne. Vox Renaissance Consort will continue with its trio of traditional Renaissance Noël concerts (including return to St. Katharine of Siena Church) that bring you back in time to the glory of Old Europe, with lavish costumes and period instruments, and heavenly music of Italian, English and German masters. Ama Deus Ensemble will perform five fascinating concerts. First is the traditional December Handel Messiah on Baroque instruments, but for this year shortened to 80 minutes and consisting of highlights from all three parts. Then, for our Good Friday concert in April, a program of sublime music, Bach Easter Oratorio & Rossini Stabat Mater; in May, two glorious Beethoven works, the Fifth Symphony and the Missa solemnis; and, lastly, two programs in June: Bach & Vivaldi Festival, as well as our Season 34 Grand Finale Gershwin & More (transplanted from January to June, as a temporary break from tradition), an exhilarating concert featuring favorite works by Gershwin, with the amazing Peter Donohoe as piano soloist, and also including rousing movie themes by Hans Zimmer and John Williams.

    Sarà Il Chitarrista Bill Frisell, Ad Aprire Venerdì 9 Novembre, Ore 21, Alla Fiera Di Cagliari, Una Delle Notti Jazz Che Si P

    36° Festival Internazionale Jazz in Sardegna – European Jazz Expo BILL FRISELL (solo) ENRICO RAVA 5et feat. JOE LOVANO Centro Congressi della Fiera di Cagliari, venerdì 9 novembre (ore 21) Sarà il chitarrista Bill Frisell, ad aprire venerdì 9 novembre, ore 21, alla Fiera di Cagliari, una delle notti jazz che si preannuncia esplosiva per il valore e la fama degli artisti che si esibiranno sul palco. Un unico concerto che vedrà, dopo l’esibizione di Frisell in solo, anche il live di un quintetto d’eccezione, il supergruppo formato dal sassofonista Joe Lovano, il trombettista Enrico Rava il contrabbassista Dezron Douglas, il batterista Gerald Ceaver e il pianista Giovanni Guidi. Bill Frisell, stella indiscussa del panorama musicale mondiale, riconosciuto non solo come uno dei chitarristi più inventivi di sempre ma anche come uno dei più versatili e prolifici, si esibirà in solo sul palco della fiera nella prima parte della serata. Con una carriera trentennale e oltre cento dischi pubblicati alle spalle, Frisell è tra le figure più di spicco nell’ambito jazzistico, con un repertorio che sconfina spesso nei territori del folk, del country, del pop e della musica d’avanguardia. Ha collaborato tra gli altri con Paul Motian, John Zorn, Elvis Costello, Marianne Faithfull, John Scofield, Jan Garbarek, Paul Bley, Bono, Robin Sylvian. Alcuni critici lo hanno paragonato a Miles Davis per il suo stile caratterizzato dalla ricerca del puro suono e dall’antitecnica inconfondibile. I suoi dischi coprono un ampio raggio di generi e influenze musicali: dalle colonne sonore di film di Buster Keaton e dei cartoni animati di Gary Larson (Quartet) alle composizioni originali per grossi ensemble con archi e collaborazioni con il bassista Viktor Krauss e il batterista Jim Keltner.

The Things I Haven’t Done (Bruce Coughlan) Bruce Coughlan Music (SESAC) The opening track, by Bruce Coughlan, a talented singer-songwriter from British Columbia with whom I’ve had the privilege of collaborating over the years, captures the theme of Sixty: I’ve been blessed with an amazing life and career. As with most of us, my journey has not been without loss and sacrifice, but by and large, I’ve been able to make a living doing what I love. One of the joys in my life has been to sing on records of people I admire greatly. Singing on Rodney Crowell’s recordings since the landmark “Houston Kid,” has been a source of great pride and satisfaction for me. I was a fan of his long before our lives intersected and we became friends. Having Rod on this song means very much to me.
