As the group's leader Jo Lily says, "This is a music of celebration, innovation and revelation...this Americana ramble has been a project infused with joy which we will share with our audience.”


The Mystix (Jo Lily, Guitars, Vocals, Marty Richards, Drums, Marty Ballou, Bass, Bobby B. Keyes, Guitars, Tom West Piano) will be joined on stage with some outstanding guest artists including harp legend Jerry Portnoy from Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton's band.

Starting simply during a quiet afternoon in a humble living room, an intriguing interwoven tale emerges from a moment of terrible loss that reaches beyond time. Testing the limits of fate and redemption, these very human characters struggle to overcome their shared dark history. This is a world premiere written by George Brant, an award-winning playwright whose plays have been described as “nearly flawless” by the New York Times and “striking” by the Times of London.

We all have our own ideas of heaven. For some, it’s white clouds and harps; for others, an eternal shore of silence. But perhaps you’re one of those souls (and I know you’re out there) who imagine an endless swirl of beautifully bad old movies — a place where the acting is always overripe, the plots as thick as oatmeal and the taste level close to the gutter. If this describes you, paradise awaits you, friend, just south of Houston Street.

Roger Kizik: Paintings and Mixed Media at Dedee Shattuck Gallery. Exhibit runs through Sunday, June 3rd.

Click here for a virtual tour.

 

t28.jpg

Roger Kizik's art works are immediately recognizable as his - regardless of medium, size or subject matter. He paints with surety, sense of humor, and imagination. Kizik’s brightly colored images boldly careen in and out of representation and abstraction, resulting in exuberant collisions of texture and form. Kizik began his education in the US Navy, before receiving his BFA at the Massachusetts College of Art in 1972. A fascination with marine technologies along with a seafarer's sense of adventure is clearly palpable in his work. Kizik experiments with mixed media, resulting in layered and textured surfaces, which are as stimulating as the imagery he creates.

Opening receptions are free of admission and open to the public.

“The Music of America”

Saturday, May 12, 2012 8:00pm

Zeiterion Theatre, New Bedford, MA

 

Janice Weber, Piano | bio

 

http://www.nbsymphony.org/assets/images/JaniceWeber-color2-278.jpg

Jennifer Higdon: blue cathedral

Edward MacDowell: Concerto No. 2 for Piano in D Minor

Aaron Copland: Symphony No. 3

Free Concert Prelude: Join Dr. David MacKenzie for an informal talk on the evening’s program at 6:45PM in the theater.

With the compositional craft that won her the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Music (as well as a Grammy), Jennifer Higdon begins blue cathedral with whispering strings and a cautious but gradually hopeful melody. Higdon tosses the melody from one woodwind to another, before a solo violin catches hold of it and brings it to the building intensity of the full orchestra, which rises and falls with it many times through the rest of the piece. If this sounds like it could be describing a day, a week or a year in your life, that is because in blue cathedral Higdon wanted “to reflect on the amazing journeys that we all make in our lives, crossing paths with so many individuals singularly and collectively, learning and growing each step of the way.”

Fall River Symphony Orchestra

87th Concert Season

t38.jpg

 

Margaret L. Jackson Arts Center Theater

Bristol Community College

  

The Fall River Orchestral Club was founded in 1925 by a group of fifteen players who wanted the opportunity to play orchestral music. They had all played chamber music but wanted to broaden their scope of performance. This was the foundation laid seventy-five years ago. They set as their reason for existence "to encourage interest in good music and to give players an opportunity to join in orchestral works, and to build up a Fall River Symphony Orchestra, not as an organization for profit, but rather a contribution to the musical life of the community and source of pleasure and musical development to those who are members of it". This policy has endured for all of these years and the present Board of Directors has endorsed it for the future.

Concerts are normally held at Margret L. Jackson Arts Center Theater, Bristol Community College.

Sponsored by St. Anne’s Credit Union.

Seating is limited. Tickets are available at SACU branch locations, at the door, or by calling (508) 252-3975.

 

Since 1989 to the present season, the orchestra has rehearsed and given their concerts in the Margaret L. Jackson Arts Center of Bristol Community College.

Death and the Maiden, by Ariel Dorfman

June 22, 23, 28, 29, and 30

Roger Williams University’s Performing Arts Center Directed by Dorisa Boggs

"Set in an unnamed country that is, like the author's native Chile, emerging from a totalitarian dictatorship, the play explores the after effects of repression on hearts and souls. Paulina Escobar's husband Gerardo is to head an investigation into past human rights abuses. A Dr. Miranda stops at the Escobars' to congratulate Gerardo. Paulina overhears them speaking and is convinced that Miranda supervised her prison torture sessions. She ties him to a chair and conducts her own interrogation, gun in hand. Escobar doesn't know whether to believe his distraught wife or his persuasive new friend. This white knuckle thriller is a riveting intellectual and emotional tug of war."

Boston Marriage, by David Mamet

July 13, 14, 19, 20, and 21

Roger Williams University’s Performing Arts Center Directed by Jeffrey Martin

"Anna and Claire are two bantering, scheming "women of fashion" who have long lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald and an income to match. Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the jealous Anna's help for an assignation. As the two women exchange barbs and take turns taunting Anna's hapless Scottish parlor maid, Claire's young inamorata suddenly appears, setting off a crisis that puts both the valuable emerald and the women's futures at risk. To this wickedly funny comedy, Mamet brings his trademark tart dialogue and impeccable plotting, spiced with Wildean wit."

Newport Comedy Series with Lisa Lampanelli on Sunday, July 22, 2012.

Lisa Lampanelli is Comedy’s Lovable Queen of Mean. Heralded as “more than a standup - a standout,” by comedy legend Jim Carrey, Lampanelli is a cross between Don Rickles, Archie Bunker, and a vial of estrogen. She even won accolades from The King of All Media Howard Stern, who called her “a true original and a brilliant comedy mind who’ll steal the show every time.”

$10 advance at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/236191, $12 at the door

An evening of great live roots music!

Mark Cutler & Men Of Great Courage (Jimmy Berger, Rick Couto, Bob Kirkman, Dick Reed) combine powerful lyrics with memorable melodies and driving rhythms. Mark's guitar-driven tunes are played and sung at every gig as if for the very first time. Come see why this gifted guitarist and award-winning singer/songwriter received the Providence Phoenix 2010 Male Vocalist award. Mark served as frontman for The Schemers and The Raindogs, and, with The Raindogs, toured in support of Bob Dylan and Warren Zevon. He continues to release award-winning CDs with bands such as Men of Great Courage and The Dino Club.

Red Eye Flight (Derek Escher, Tim Murphy, Ken Taylor, Kelly Cleveland, Rand Torman) formed in Rhode Island in 2005. Founded on strong vocal harmonies, the band plays original songs and Americana covers. Red Eye Flight incorporates electric and acoustic instrumentation to create soundscapes that are evocative of this country, from western highways to the open ocean.
