For Immediate Release New Artsbridge Project Event Scheduled As Part of Fall 2017 Programming in Uihlein Hall Unique Allian For Immediate Release New ArtsBridge Project Event Scheduled as Part of Fall 2017 Programming in Uihlein Hall Unique alliance being created for the community by Florentine Opera Company, Marcus Center for the Performing Arts and Milwaukee Ballet Company In October of 2017 the Milwaukee Ballet, Florentine Opera and the Marcus Center will showcase three weeks of uniquely integrated arts programming in Uihlein Hall. This series of collaborative arts experiences is aimed at connecting with new audiences while offering current patrons the opportunity to engage in a different way. The Milwaukee Ballet and Florentine Opera will collaborate around classic operatic themes while all three organizations will participate in the ArtsBridge Project event focusing on a centennial celebration of musical contributions from legendary artists: Leonard Bernstein, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Desi Arnaz, Dean Martin and Jerome Robbins. “The Marcus Center is thrilled to partner with the Milwaukee Ballet, and the Florentine Opera on the ArtsBridge Project,” said Paul Mathews, Marcus Center President & CEO. “As we look ahead to our 50th Anniversary in 2019, this type of creative collaboration is critical to fulfilling our leadership role as the community’s premiere performing arts center and helps us open our doors wider to our increasingly diverse community.” During each of the three weeks, one of the organizations will take the lead in presenting a new or enhanced production that incorporates artists from one or more of the other participating groups. The Milwaukee Ballet Orchestra will be utilized by both the Marcus Center and Florentine Opera in addition to performing for the Ballet during their week. “Having the Ballet Orchestra work with all of us during this series of events is very exciting,” said Paul Mathews. “It is another way to connect each of our organization’s to each other and give the broader community a chance to experience the talent of this ensemble.” The Marcus Center will be including the students from their Arts Connect program as part of the ArtsBridge Project as well as partners from the community. Arts Connect students will begin preparation for the event during the summer intensive program in June. “Collaboration and community engagement are the cornerstones of successful professional performing arts and this unique partnership puts all three organizations ahead of the curve as we move forward,” said Bill Florescu Florentine Opera General Director. “The Florentine Opera is proud to be a part of it.” Additionally, the groups directly responsible for the collaboration each week will look to include other local artists or students in the development and presentation of these arts experiences – creating more opportunities to build unique artistic connections between the participants, the audiences and the community. Integrating new media, visual art and educational efforts into the performing arts’ experience, will broaden the impact of all the participants. “Milwaukee Ballet is pleased to be partnering on the ArtsBridge Project,” said Michael Pink Artistic Director Milwaukee Ballet. “Together we aim to build a meaningful bridge to the future of the arts in our community. We believe this collaboration is a positive step to securing a brighter future.” While the concept of an art’s collaboration is not unique, deliberately integrating the talents from all three groups across genres plus adding in other local creatives produces an experience that is uniquely Milwaukee. Taking this approach serves to enrich the artistic experience for both the audience and the artists while creating the opportunity to connect the community to new and unexpected interpretations each art form. Additional details about additional community partners, programming and ticketing will be released this summer. ### ABOUT MARCUS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS Established in 1969, the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts is the premier performing arts community gathering space in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • Here Are a Number of Recognizable Singers Who Are Noted As Prominent Contributors to the Songbook Genre
    Music Take- Home Packet Inside About the Songbook Song Facts & Lyrics Music & Movement Additional Viewing YouTube playlist https://bit.ly/AllegraSongbookSongs This packet was created by Board-Certified Music Therapist, Allegra Hein (MT-BC) who consults with the Perfect Harmony program. About the Songbook The “Great American Songbook” is the canon of the most important and influential American popular songs and jazz standards from the early 20th century that have stood the test of time in their life and legacy. Often referred to as "American Standards", the songs published during the Golden Age of this genre include those popular and enduring tunes from the 1920s to the 1950s that were created for Broadway theatre, musical theatre, and Hollywood musical film. The times in which much of this music was written were tumultuous ones for a rapidly growing and changing America. The music of the Great American Songbook offered hope of better days during the Great Depression, built morale during two world wars, helped build social bridges within our culture, and whistled beside us during unprecedented economic growth. About the Songbook We defended our country, raised families, and built a nation while singing these songs. There are a number of recognizable singers who are noted as prominent contributors to the Songbook genre. Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astaire, Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Judy Garland, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Al Jolson, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, Margaret Whiting, and Andy Williams are widely recognized for their performances and recordings which defined the genre. This is by no means an exhaustive list; there are countless others who are widely recognized for their performances of music from the Great American Songbook.

  • Linda Twine, a Native of Muskogee, OK, Graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1966, with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music
    Linda Twine, a native of Muskogee, OK, graduated from Oklahoma City University in 1966, with a bachelor of arts degree in music. There, she studied piano with the esteemed Dr. Clarence Burg and Professor Nancy Apgar. After graduating from OCU, Twine studied at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where she earned a master’s degree, and made New York her home. She began her musical career in New York, teaching music in public school by day and accompanying classical and jazz artists at night. At one of these engagements, she was asked if she would like to substitute for the keyboardist of the Tony Award winning Broadway hit, “The Wiz.” Her positive response began a long career in Broadway musicals from keyboard substitute to assistant conductor of Broadway orchestras. In 1981, Twine transitioned to conductor when Lena Horne asked her to conduct her one-woman hit, “Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music.” This garnered Twine the respect of her peers and as a much sought-after Broadway musical conductor. In addition to “The Wiz” and “Lena Horne,” Twine’s Broadway credits include, “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Big River” (the score composed by Oklahoman Roger Miller), “Jelly’s Last Jam,” “Frog and Toad,” “Caroline or Change,” “Purlie,” and the current “The Color Purple,” starring Fantasia. Not only a distinguished conductor, Twine is also a composer and arranger. She composed “Changed My Name,” a cantata inspired by slave women Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman, and written for two actresses, four soloists, and a chorus. Her popular spiritual arrangements are published by Hinshaw.

  • Give Me the Banjo: Lesson Plan
    Give Me the Banjo: Lesson Plan Created by: Dan McDowell, Educational Consultant Shaun Clarke, Project Manager Marc Fields, Producer/Director VIII. Pete Seeger & The Weavers / Blacklisting “Give Me the Banjo” - broadcast clip: 1:46:21 - 1:49:03 Between 1950 and 1952, Pete Seeger and his bandmates in The Weavers sold over four million records with their interpretations of folk songs like “Goodnight Irene,” “Tzena, Tzena” and “Kisses Sweeter than Wine.” It should have been a triumphant time for them. While The Weavers’ commercial success sparked mainstream interest in folk music, their political causes and past associations drew the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee. The FBI’s campaign to blacklist The Weavers caused their tours and recording deals to be cancelled. Charges of sedition and contempt of Congress dogged Seeger for the rest of the decade. Nevertheless, he found new audiences in schools, camps and colleges. For years after the blacklist, the networks banned him from television, including some of the same shows that his music had inspired. But he managed to get his own public access show, and with his tireless appearances at folk festivals, civil rights demonstrations and in print, Seeger passed along his passion for rural folk music from all over the world to a new generation of musicians and fans. Discussion Questions 1. What was going on in the United State in the 1950’s during the time that Seeger and the Weavers were identified as communists? 2. How did Seeger react to the blacklisting attempts by the FBI? 3. Compare the words on Woody Guthrie’s Guitar, “This machine kills fascists” with the words on Seeger’s Banjo, “This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.” What do these statements say about the two folk artists? Lesson Overview: During the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, Joseph McCarthy led a series of investigations that targeted Hollywood actors and directors.

  • Lena Horne Live Welcome to a Deep Dive I'm Reggie. in This Episode, We
    Lena Horne Live Welcome to a deep dive I'm Reggie. In this episode, we're going to take a deep dive into two live recordings by Lena Horne one recorded at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas, the other at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Two live recordings by one of the greatest live performers of her generation. I think you’ll wanna add these to your collection. Be sure to stick around for the end of the episode because there might even be a giveaway. Thanks for joining me for Lena Horne Live. When I was younger I had this dopey idea that the female jazz vocalist world was neatly divided into two camps, either you loved Sarah Vaughan or Ella Fitzgerald, you couldn’t love both. This didn’t exist for male vocalists because for me there was only one and that is Johnny Hartman. A dopey idea I know. Over the years my appreciation for Vaughan and Fitzgerald has grown but if I were faced with one of those desert-island disk situations I would choose recordings by Sarah Vaughan hands down. A part of my devotion to Vaughan can be contributed to the fact that I got to see Sarah Vaughan work live many times and those performances linger and heighten my listening pleasure right until today. Is that true for you as well? Has the experience of hearing or seeing musicians or music live enhanced your listening pleasure afterward? One of the things Lena Horne’s contemporaries would say is her recorded work is great but you’ve got to see her in person.

  • Meet Me in St. Louis by Andrea Alsberg
    Meet Me in St. Louis By Andrea Alsberg There are times the stars align, the perfect storm hits, and the going gets good. These idioms apply to the making of “Meet Me in St. Louis,” a nearly per- fect movie. The tetrad responsible for this delicacy of a film: Arthur Freed, producer at MGM; Vincente Minnelli, director; Judy Garland, actress; and, World War II. Arthur Freed, born in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1894, had a happy childhood. The eldest of eight children, his family was privileged and middle class. After attending Phillips Exeter Academy, he worked on the vaudeville circuit, and eventually landed at MGM as a lyricist. Ten years later, in 1938, Freed convinced Louis B. Mayer to let him produce films. Judy Garland signed with MGM at age 13. Garland’s life has been dissected in countless journals and most folks are knowledgeable about her horrendous upbringing and tragic life. Needless to say, at 13 she was already a professional having performed since age two with her siblings as The Gumm Sisters. Alt- hough Mayer and the studio have deservedly taken the blame for her induction to chemicals, as a child her mother had already introduced her to “pep” pills for late-night shows and alcohol to calm her nerves. Once signed by MGM, Garland and fellow adoles- cent crooners Mickey Rooney and Deanna Durbin bided there time at the studio by doing bit parts until The original release poster featuring Judy Garland and Margaret O’Brien.
