The Voice Box Recommends - February 11 - 14

Lots of local art in action this week. Seattle company Backwards Ensemble is bringing in Brian Copeland for a 4-day run of his popular one-man show; experimental music group The Fisher Ensemble (of which I am a member) performs excerpts from Garrett's new opera; and musicians from all over town gather to raise money for victims of the Haiti earthquake.

*****
NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN
Theatre Off Jackson
February 11 - 14, 8 pm
$20 - 50
Valentine's Day special - 2 tickets for $35

From Backwards Ensemble Theater Company:
The longest running solo play in San Francisco Theatrical History comes to Seattle for a very special limited engagement!

Brian Copeland's first solo show, NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN, reveals a little-known chapter of Bay Area history. In 1971, San Leandro was named one of the most racist suburbs in America. Congressional hearings were held. The next year, the then eight-year-old Brian Copeland and his African-American family moved to San Leandro. In a monologue that's both funny and poignant, Brian explores how surroundings make us who we are.

SEATTLE SINGS FOR HAITI

Combined Choirs of Seattle, members of Orchestra Seatte and NW Mahler Orchestra to perform at St. Marks Cathedral in Haiti Benefit Event

On February 13, 2010, at 7:30 pm, the city of Seattle will sing for Haiti.

The Northwest Mahler Festival, in collaboration with Orchestra Seattle and the Seattle Musicians' Haiti Benefit Project, will host a benefit concert in which Seattle's own George Shangrow will conduct Johannes Brahms' Requiem (entitled "Ein Deutches Requiem," Opus 45) before a chorus of combined Seattle area choirs and members of Orchestra Seattle and the Northwest Mahler Festival Orchestra.

St. Mark's Cathedral, which can support an audience of over one thousand, will donate the use of their sanctuary for the event.

Representatives from the aid organization Friends of the Orphans will be in attendance to collect donations for their work in providing aid to orphaned children in Haiti. Friends of the Orphans has ongoing projects in Haiti, and suffered the loss of several staff members and volunteers who were working in Port au Prince during the Haiti earthquake.

Donations will be collected at the door and 100% of all proceeds will be donated to Friends of the Orphans.

If you are unable to attend the upcoming gala performance at St. Mark's Cathedral, but would still like to donate to Friends of the Orphans, please visit their 2010 Haiti Earthquake Relief donation page, found here. Please indicate that you heard about Friends of the Orphans through Seattle Sings for Haiti.

Music Back on Jackson Street
Flo Ware Park, 28th and Jackson
Sunday, September 27th, 12 - 5 pm

The Producers
Seattle Musical Theatre
Building 47, Magnuson Park
September 18 - October 4

One of my favorite things about SMT is that they provide study guides for their shows. These guides move beyond mere entertainment and encourage audience members to think about the larger societal issues that are being examined through the lens of musical theatre. The trivia, history and suggested activities for further study are sure to enhance your enjoyment of this hilarious musical satire.

A selective listing of performances for the weekend of August 28-30:

Das Barbecü

From the ACT website:

Seattle Opera originally commissioned this comic adaptation of Wagner's Ring Cycle in 1991. This year, The Ring returns – and so, lest we take it too seriously, does Das Barbecü. It's a lightning-paced musical that grafts Teutonic myth onto Texas twang. Big hair, big hats, and wonderful music – including an infectious ode to guacamole and a tender ditty entitled "Hog Tie Your Man" – make this show a blast for opera buffs and anybody who just loves a good time.

"The delicious fun of Das Barbecü is the deadpan way it superimposes the weirdest ancient Germanic lore onto a batch of down-home, straight-shootin' folk." —The Seattle Times

Friday, August 28th - 8:00 pm
Saturday, August 28th - 8:00 pm
Sunday, August 30th - 2:00 pm
The Falls Theatre at ACT

*****

The Wedding Sangers

From the ACT website:

Join country-tonk favorites Purty Mouth for The Weddin' Sangers, a Das Barbecü companion show that celebrates in song the dysfunction and redemption lurking at the heart of the modern American wedding.

Every Friday and Saturday, directly after Das Barbecü, The Weddin' Sangers will give you an hour of music and laughs from Purty Mouth and special guests.

Each weekend will feature a new theme, inspired by the shenanigans in Das Barbecü. Purty Mouth has been performing in Seattle for most of a decade; their unique take on country and pop music is dialed in from a universe where Brokeback Mountain sits comfortably alongside John Wayne.
Saturday, August 29th - 10:30 pm

The Ring not your thing? Head over to The Triple Door and check out the lovely pop/jazz harmonies of Les Nubians.

From their MySpace page:
Grammy Nominated international recording artists Les Nubians have intrigued audiences for almost a decade with their inventive and glamorous Afropean style. This distinctive sound embodies the timeless vibrations of Miriam Makeba, Ella Fitzgerald, Doudou N'diaye Rose, Fela Kuti, Edith Piaf, The Fugees, and Soul II Soul.

Recognized for their colorful auras, Les Nubians' vogue is a fusion of Funkin' Fashion and Modern Amazon. Adoring fans pay tribute to the French/Cameroonian sister duo for their continuous flow of jazzy nuances, hard hitting drum ‘n' bass lines, harmonious melodies, conscious proclamations and humanitarian endeavors.

Moe and Aimee played for our wedding reception cocktail hour as the amazing duo MoZo. Moe recently released her solo album, Blues Filter Through, and Aimee's band The Starlings are releasing their limited-edition EP tonight! I may be biased, but their music makes me really happy. Come out and support these two super cool gals (and of course their talented bandmates!).

The Tallboys CD release party
with Slimpickins

From The Tallboys' website:

Based in Seattle, Washington, The Tallboys are a four piece old time string band well-versed in traditional fiddle tunes and mountain songs. They stay honest to their traditional inspirations, yet charge up their sound with a raw edge of gritty enthusiasm conjured from their years of street performing. The Tallboys consistently deliver exciting stage performances and hard-driving dance tunes.
We've listened to two members of The Tallboys nearly every Sunday for the past few years at the Ballard Farmers Market, and they're fantastic. Should be an excellent show.

Toy Box Trio

From Toy Box Trio's MySpace page:
The Toy-Box Trio was founded in early 2007 by classical composer Harlan Glotzer while studying at Cornish College of the Arts. During Harlan's studies, he experimented with bringing different ensembles together. The Toy-Box Trio was born out of a search for an unlikely–yet musically functional–ensemble that would cause listeners to experience through-composed music in an entirely different way. The pairing of concertina, toy piano, and violoncello is reminiscent of the classical piano trio–a staple in chamber repertoire–but able to extend into the 21st century by creating a sonic landscape evocative of dusty old music boxes and haunted carnivals. The Toy-Box Trio is committed to approaching time worn ideas and concepts from unexpected, untraditional, and rarely used angles, as well as providing a light and fanciful sonic atmosphere.

The Esoterics present
CONSTANTINESCU
Paul Constantinescu Centennial

From The Esoterics' website:
Virtually unknown to audiences in America, Paul Constantinescu (1909-1963) was one of Romania’s most cherished composers. A master of orchestral and vocal genres, Constantinescu was foremost among his generation of artists; as he infused the demands of Western counterpoint into the eccentricities of his native folk art, he breathed a new nationalism into Romanian classical music. Constantinescu’s fascinating blend of sacred, poetic, and folk influences shines through in each of his choral works.

For this concert, The Esoterics will be joined by Romanian conductor Gabriel Dumitrescu and pianist Kevin Johnson, to perform all of Constantinescu’s compositions for chamber choir – including his setting of the orthodox liturgy, ten folksong settings, and four madrigals.

Upcoming Performances

Lots of opportunities to hear your fellow students (and teachers) perform this month:

Thoroughly Modern Millie

From the Ingraham High website:
Thoroughly Modern Millie is a Tony Award-winning musical with music by Jeanine Tesori, lyrics by Dick Scanlan, and a book by Richard Morris and Scanlan. Based on the 1967 film of the same name, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City to marry for money instead of love – a thoroughly modern aim in 1922, when women were just entering the workforce. Millie soon begins to take to delight in the flapper lifestyle, but problems arise when she checks into a hotel owned by the leader of a white slavery ring in China.
Featuring fellow student Celia Buckingham as Millie, not to mention impressive sets, lots of fun musical numbers and some excellent tap dancing.

Northwest Chamber Chorus presents
The American Spirit:
Songs of Faith in the Americas

From the NWCC website:
Sacred music has arrived in America from many different directions and places, and has developed from influences just as diverse. This is not a program of music of Christianity, but a celebration of the diversity of spirituality in America in the 21st century. We’ll trace the musical paths that have led us to where we are today. South American music will include Kasar Mie la Gaji (Earth is Tired) on a sub-Saharan African text set by Venezuelan composer Alberto Grau, Salmo 150 by Brazil's Ernani Aguiar, and Hanacpachap, arranged by Oscar Escalada and believed to be the first piece of music published in the New World. North America will be well-represented as well, with Magic Songs by trail-blazing Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer, Shaker Songs arranged by Kevin Siegfried, and Deep River arranged by Swedish composer Anders Paulsson for choir and soprano saxophone and featuring saxophonist Michael Brockman.

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! is a loving spoof in which two aspiring playwrights perform a backers’ audition for their new project: A big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg (not Steve Guttenberg from the cinema classic Short Circuit).

"I don't recall the last time I left a theater with a face that ached from laughing way too much." - Paul Constant, The Stranger

With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them a Broadway contract – fulfilling their sky-high, if simple-minded, dreams.

Northwest Puppet Center presents Don Quixote
Baroque Marionette Opera

From the NWPC website:

Each year, Northwest Puppet Center presents an elaborate baroque marionette opera. Hand-carved figures take the stage with chamber orchestra and singers on either side of the proscenium.

The Carter Family Marionettes are joined by an ensemble of outstanding musicians and singers for this unique production of Don Quixote.

George Philipp Telemann's Don Quixote Suite is a well known instrumental delight. Rarely seen, however, is his one act operetta, in which the chivalrous Don and the earthy Sancho Panza attend and disrupt a shepherd's wedding. These two works are combined by Carter Family Marionettes and Maestra di Musica, Margriet Tindemanns. Sancho Panza's aria to his donkey and the attack on the windmills are among the treats to be dished up by hand-carved marionettes and our beloved musical collaborators. This is our 10th live opera, with nearly a decade of these unique and challenging presentations at the Northwest Puppet Center. Please join us for a night at the opera with this quixotic delectation!
