UMSO Welcomes Guests Lerman & Scarano, Oct 27

Saturday, September 30, 2006

It’s not everyday that a symphony orchestra and a dance company share a concert stage, and rarer still for dancers to perform alongside and in-between seated orchestral musicians, but that's exactly what audiences will see when the UM Symphony Orchestra and music director James Ross welcome the acclaimed Liz Lerman Dance Exchange to the Dekelboum Concert Hall of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, Friday, October 27, 2006 at 8PM.

Originally commissioned for the Omaha Symphony Orchestra and debuted in February of 2006, this collaborative work titled "Man/Chair Dance" inserts dancers into a full orchestra as it plays one of the best known works in contemporary American music, John Adams's "The Chairman Dances." An outtake from Adams's opera Nixon in China, this popular and frequently choreographed work gets a new treatment in the form of "Man/Chair Dance" allowing audience members to see as well as hear orchestral music performed by both the UMSO and Liz Lerman dancers. This unusual combination of music and movement adds new vitality to the traditional concert experience, pairing an acclaimed and progressive collegiate orchestra with a renowned and innovative professional dance company.

The concert opens with the UMSO performing Richard Strauss's swashbuckling tone poem Don Juan, before collaborating with the Liz Lerman troupe. Following these two works, the UMSO teams up with another guest artist, pianist Daria Scarano, first prize Winner of the 2006-07 UMSO Concerto Competition. A graduate student of faculty artist Santiago Rodriguez, Scarano will perform Rachmaninov's demanding Piano Concerto No. 3 with the UMSO. One of the most difficult works in the piano repertoire, the "Rach 3" will provide an exciting finale to wonderfully varied program.

Tickets for this performance cost $20 for adults; $7 for students. To order on-line now, click here. For more performances of the UM School of Music, visit our complete Calendar of Events.
