Fireside Festival of New Works:
Bronzeville Gold by Anetria Cole
Sun., February 12, 7pm
Pay-What-You-Can ($10 recommended)
Set in 1933 Chicago, this powerful family saga revolves around a "gambling numbers wheel," and a young Mississippi newcomer as he and the entire African American community chase the ever elusive American dream.
Willie Jenkins, a 22-year-old sharecropper, knows that living in Tupelo, Mississippi will not afford him many opportunities. But when he meets a street numbers runner from south side Chicago named Cleveland, Willie jumps on what he feels is his only escape from the south. Will he walk on "streets of gold"? Is Bronzeville really the land flowing with milk and honey? Or is it all just a dream?

Sweet Honey In The Rock focuses on music that challenges, inspires, teaches, encourages, and empowers audiences from all walks of life to become interested and involved in issues that are central to their lives. For over three decades, Sweet Honey In The Rock has celebrated our collective humanity, singing about the challenging issues of racism; social, economic, and environmental injustice; equal rights; and the greed that seems to be pulling our nation apart. The group has built a distinguished legacy as one of the most celebrated ambassadors of a cappella music, fusing five scintillating and soulful voices with the texture, harmonic blend, and raw quality that is indigenous and true to authentic a cappella music. They take audiences on journeys that span centuries of African-American history and culture — sound journeys that nurture and heal. In the tradition of artists in action — this is the group that sang at the rally when the University of Michigan defended its affirmative action position before the Supreme Court — Sweet Honey taps the spirit, encourages audiences to think, asks them to reflect, and inspires them to make a difference in their communities. Sign language interpreted.

The February 2010 snowstorm was about the only thing that could keep Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra away from Ann Arbor! Wynton Marsalis stands in a league all his own. A creative genius, compassionate humanitarian, legendary trumpeter, masterful composer, arts advocate, tireless educator, and cultural leader, he inspires and uplifts people through superb music-making. His first trumpet came from Al Hirt at age 6, though it took a few years for interest in the instrument to stick. Now, more than 40 years later, he is best known as the leader of the 15-member Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Despite one of the most aggressive touring schedules in the business, JLCO makes each concert fresh, drawing in audiences who are continually energized and amazed by the group’s depth of outrageous talent. “The audience was weak from applauding and shouting and jumping up and down with the joy of the great music it had heard.” (El Universal/The Herald)
