the early 20th century saw a decade that witnessed global revolution. from the mexican revolution in 1910 and the Xinhai revolution in 1911 to the start of World War i in 1914 and the russian revolution in 1917, the world was convulsing with change. this torment was reflected in the arts, including the world of ballet. on may 29, 1913, Serge diaghilev’s ballets russes took to the stage in paris to give the first performance of the rite of Spring, choreographed by Vaslav nijinsky to a score by igor Stravinsky. the shock wave unleashed that evening is still being felt today.

in the centennial year of this premiere, carolina performing arts at the university of north carolina at chapel hill presents The Rite of spring at 100 (rite 100) as part of our eighth season. rite 100 will include 15 performances by world-renowned artists, who will be revisiting, re-examining and responding imaginatively to the Stravinsky-nijinsky masterpiece. We will present nine world premieres, two u.S. premieres and 11 works commissioned by carolina performing arts specifically for rite 100.

We will explore a variety of themes related to the rite of Spring throughout the year. choreographer Bill T. Jones and theater director anne Bogart will bring their companies together for the first time for a personal and visceral meditation on the rite. the string quartet Brooklyn Rider will present an evening entitled make it new!, tracing how this modernist imperative has been absorbed in new works by colin Jacobsen, Shara Worden and gabriel kahane. the season also includes an unparalleled opportunity to experience the most distinctive versions of the rite, performed by the Joffrey Ballet, Compagnie Marie Chouinard and Martha Graham Dance Company.

the rite of Spring is only the beginning. our 12/13 season features highly anticipated performances by returning artists such as legendary brazilian musician Gilberto Gil and the orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romatique. the orchestra will perform beethoven’s ninth Symphony with the Monteverdi Choir in one of only three stops on their u.S. tour. We will also welcome several new faces to memorial hall this year, including indie bluegrass band the Punch Brothers featuring Chris Thile.

We continue to deepen our relationship with the academy and are very excited to be partnering with the center for global initiatives and the center for the Study of the american South to host two performances as part of the annual global american South conference. the Carolina Chocolate Drops will perform with fellow returning artist Vusi Mahlasela, “the Voice” of South africa. the following evening, abigail Washburn will return to perform with Kai Welch alongside Wu Fei, an internationally acclaimed guzheng master.

We gratefully acknowledge our university partners for rite 100, the college of arts and Sciences and the institute for the arts and humanities. major funding for the initiative has been provided by the andrew W. mellon foundation and the William r. kenan, Jr. charitable trust. rite 100 would not be possible without the generous support of individual donors, who have allowed us to dream big, and the leadership of our national advisory board. their collective enthusiasm for this project — and our entire 12/13 season — has been inspiring.

carolina performing arts seeks to change lives by creating and presenting exceptional arts experiences. We strive to nurture artistic innovation and the development of new works; to challenge and inspire audiences with powerful and transformative performances; and to integrate the arts into the core mission of the university, embracing its mandate for teaching, research and public service. With rite 100, our most ambitious effort to date, our commitment to these goals has never felt more complete or more alive.

thank you for your continued support.

The centennial anniversary of the premiere performance of The Rite of Spring.

THE RITE of SPRING? what is

On a hot Paris evening in 1913, a riot broke out at the ballet. At the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, members of Serge Diaghilev’s legendary dance troupe, the Ballets Russes, stamped their feet and jumped to a wild orchestral score. Shaken by Igor Stravinsky’s unorthodox music and scandalized by Vaslav Nijinsky’s audacious choreography, audience members shouted out their protests, while others rose up in defense. Punches were thrown; the police were called. On its opening night, The Rite of Spring secured its place in history.

The outraged spectators must have known they were witnessing something important: Stravinsky’s score inspired countless composers and quickly assumed its place as a canonic work in the orchestral repertoire. The Rite of Spring has been choreographed more than any other music of the past century. From its ethereal bassoon solo opening to the sacrificial finale – in which a young girl dances herself to death – The Rite of Spring has captured the imagination of artists and audiences for the last century.

The Rite of Spring was both an end and a beginning: a farewell to the ballet tradition and the Romantic orchestral works of the 19th century, and the birth of the avant-garde movement in the 20th. It brought together the work of three great artists: composer Stravinsky, choreographer Nijinsky and visual artist and costume designer Nicholas Roerich. In re-interpreting archaic iconography and Russian folk traditions, the creators found an artistic language wholly modern, in step with a decade marked by the sinking of the Titanic and the horrors of World War I. Looking back after a century, The Rite of Spring appears more relevant than ever.

The Rite of Spring was significant not just as a riot-inspiring act of modernism, but also for its embrace of the interdisciplinary. Igor Stravinsky, Vaslav Nijinsky and Nicholas Roerich brought cutting-edge visuals and music together on a single stage. In the spirit of this cross-medium collaboration, Carolina Performing Arts and UNC-Chapel Hill will present a year-long centennial commemoration of The Rite of Spring, embracing all aspects of the multifaceted work. From September 2012 through May 2013, UNC’s campus will be home to performances, academic conferences and courses exploring the impact of The Rite and what the work means today.

Carolina Performing Arts has commissioned 11 new works from important artists across the globe – choreographer Bill T. Jones and director Anne Bogart, puppeteer Basil Twist, composer Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky, jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, among others – who reimagine The Rite, bringing a contemporary flavor to the 1913 masterpiece. The Rite of Spring at 100 will present international dance companies’ reinterpretations of the original ballet and a reconstruction of Nijinsky’s groundbreaking choreography by the Joffrey Ballet.

The UNC campus is actively participating in the discussion of the impact of The Rite of Spring and its historical lineage through artistic residencies, masterclasses, interdisciplinary course offerings and two major academic conferences taking place in Chapel Hill and Moscow. The Rite of Spring at 100 celebrates the dawn of modernism through an exploration of artistic creation and scholarly dialogues that will foretell what awaits us in the future.

The National Theatre of Scotland returns to Carolina Performing Arts after their performances of Black Watch in 2011, this time with David Greig’s award-winning the strange Undoing of prudencia Hart. Conceived as an evening of “anarchic theater, live music and strange goings-on,” the play explores the politics and romance played out at an academic conference devoted to the Border Ballads – the traditional folklore songs celebrating the raids, feuds, seductions and elopements between the Scottish and English border. Staged at Top of the Hill Back Bar, this play both investigates and imitates its subject, telling old tales with distinctly modern overtones in classic ballad rhymes. In the depths of Midwinter’s Eve, all the conference attendees are snowed in at the town’s one pub, and the devil is at play as the pagan celebration takes hold. Prudencia must choose between the world of her peers and the traditions she yearns for.

The highly acclaimed Silk Road Ensemble, featuring multiple Grammy Award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma, will present a thrilling combination of world and classical music traditions. The concert program includes the world premiere of the seasons, a piece by Uzbekistan’s Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky commissioned for the rite of spring at 100. The three major sections of The Seasons represent summer, autumn and winter, each inspired by one of the nine folk tunes Stravinsky used in composing The Rite of Spring. The sections are titled after poems by Nicholas Roerich, designer of the original 1913 costumes and set. Roerich, who is credited with the central creative vision behind The Rite of Spring, spent much of his life traveling through central Asia, a compelling reflection of the legacy of multicultural inspiration at the heart of The Silk Road Ensemble’s musical vision.

elsewhere, a “CelloOpera” written for Maya Beiser, a virtuosic cellist and diva of the avant-garde, and featuring vocalist Helga Davis, is a haunting new multimedia performance that stages two dramatic interpretations of apocalyptic visions. The initial movement unfolds in a series of letters from a woman watching her world slowly coming to an end, evoked in a lush composition by Eve Beglarian that features text by the Belgian surrealist Henri Michaux. The second act presents the story of Lot’s wife, who must bear witness to the violent end of her world, creating a conversation between two women who are separated by distance and time, and yet are joined by the urgency of their questions about the brutal nature of the world. Featuring an assemblage of original video, choreography and stage environments under the direction of Robert Woodruff, elsewhere is a stunning showcase of postmodern collaboration.

“Contemporary dance at its best…funny, outrageous, rude, theatrical and gorgeous”

– The Vancouver Sun

Returning to Memorial Hall, Compagnie Marie Chouinard presents two of Chouinard’s most highly regarded works, pairing a new interpretation of Nijinksy’s prelude to the afternoon of a faun (1994) with the rite of spring (1993). The concentration of soloists is one of the most dynamic aspects of Chouinard’s version of “this hymn of life,” as she refers to the original the rite of spring, making prelude to the afternoon of a faun, a solo set to Claude Debussy’s score, an ideal accompaniment. Chouinard’s work explores the relationship of the body’s vital energy with space, creating “pathways toward freedom and compassion, where humor is possible and Eros omnipresent.”

Punch Brothers are the New York City-based quintet of mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny and violinist Gabe Witcher. As the five members, ranging in age from their mid-20s to mid-30s, have matured together on the road and in the studio, their approach to writing and performing has, conversely, become looser, simpler, and, in a sense, more unaffectedly youthful. Their music features rumbling bass, skittering violin, and wailing multi-tracked vocals that sounds like hard-charging string-band punk rock. The group, as virtuosic as it is freewheeling, evolved out of a 2007 collaboration on Thile’s string-band suite, The Blind Leading the Blind, which premiered at Carnegie Hall in a series curated by composer John Adams. Punch Brothers are currently featured on the soundtrack to The Hunger Games and the Chieftains’ 50th anniversary disc, Voice Of Ages.

Growing up in the Brazilian region of Bahia, Gilberto Gil began playing accordion and emulating the music of baião

pioneer Luiz Gonzaga at an early age. Infused with the diverse influences of northeastern Brazil – indigenous

instrumentation, West African rhythms and European folk music – baião reflects Gilberto Gil’s longstanding cultural

explorations through the lens of music. Recognized for his unique abilities to blend quintessential Brazilian genres,

including bossa nova and samba, with elements of rock ’n’ roll and jazz, Gil was one of the founders of the influential Tropicália movement of the 1960s, an avant-garde fusing

of the traditional and the experimental. Also known for his resonant guitar work and wide-ranging compositions, as

well as his commitment to political awareness and social activism, Gilberto Gil continues to be one of the most

eclectic and inspiring voices in world music. A Memorial Hall favorite, he returns to Chapel Hill this season for

an evening of international rhythms and grooves.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////A Meditation on The Rite of Spring (working title), a full-length collaborative work commissioned by Carolina Performing Arts, combines choreography from the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company with the ensemble-based theater work of SITI Company and Anne Bogart. This world premiere presents a deconstruction of the original score of The Rite of Spring, giving voice to author Jonah Lehrer’s claim that a central tenet of Stravinsky’s work is the realization that “the engine of music is conflict, not consonance.” The development of this work took place, in part, at UNC-Chapel Hill through a series of collaborative residencies hosted by Carolina Performing Arts. Bringing together these influential artists for the first time, this collaboration is a daring combination of original work from two of the most accomplished figures in the world of dance and theater.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops have achieved one of the most impressive feats in contemporary music, creating an authentic body of work steeped in the Piedmont blues tradition while also managing to reinvent the very sound they set out to honor. Winners of a 2010 Best Traditional Folk Album Grammy for their Nonesuch debut genuine negro Jig, the trio added several guest musicians for their follow-up recording leaving eden, leading to even more revelatory imaginings of the role traditional African-American string band music can play in a modern context. With work featured on the soundtrack to the Hunger games and a recent run opening for Bob Dylan, the Carolina Chocolate Drops are showing just how vast their musical vision can be. For this performance, the Carolina Chocolate Drops are joined on stage by Vusi Mahlasela, a South African singer-songwriter and poet-activist. Simply known as “The Voice” in his home country, Mahlasela was a leader in the anti-apartheid movement in the 1980s, and now is spreading his message globally about the human struggle for freedom and dignity.

TiCKeT eXChanGesSubscribers may exchange tickets free-of-charge up to 72 hours before the performance. Non-subscribers may exchange single tickets for a $10 fee.

We ask that you notify the Box Office of your intent to make an exchange at least 72 hours prior to the perfor-mance. You can call or email during normal business hours at 919-843-3333 or [email protected].

The value of the ticket(s) may be applied to the purchase of another performance or will be held as a CPA credit until the end of the 12/13 season. Credit must be redeemed by April 27, 2013.

For information about exchanging tickets, please call the Box Office at at 919-843-3333 or email [email protected].

TiCKeT DonaTions/unuseD TiCKeTsUnused tickets may be donated to CPA as a tax-deductible contribution until the published start time of the performance. Unused tickets that are returned after the performance are not eligible for a CPA credit or tax-deductible contribution.

ReFunDsDue to the nature of performing arts, programs and artists are subject to change. If an artist cancels an appearance, CPA will make every effort to substitute that performance with a comparable artist. Refunds will be offered only if a substitute cannot be found, or in the event of a date change. Handling fees are not refundable.

CPA will not cancel performances or refund tickets because of inclement weather unless the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s campus closes.

TiCKeT MailinG Vs. TiCKeT PiCK uPYour subscription tickets will be mailed during the week of June 4–8, 2012, before tickets to individual performances go on sale to the general public. Any ticket orders received fewer than 10 days prior to the perfor-mance will be held at Will Call, which opens 90 minutes prior to the published performance start time.

unC sTuDenT TiCKeTs aRe JusT $10UNC-Chapel Hill student tickets to Carolina Performing Arts performances are just $10. A portion of each stu-dent’s fees supports this ticket price, so it is offered exclusively to Carolina students. A valid UNC OneCard must be presented to receive the student ticket price.

GRouP TiCKeTsGroups of 10 people or more receive discounts ranging from 10% to 25% off the general public ticket price.

iMPoRTanT inFoRMaTion


aCCessiBiliTyWheelchair-accessible seating is available. Please advise a Box Office sales associate of your needs when you purchase your tickets. Memorial Hall is equipped with infrared listening systems provided free of charge. We have a limited supply of headsets that should be reserved in advance through the Box Office.

laTe seaTinGOnce a performance has begun, late seating opportunities are limited and may occur only during specific times. Be sure to plan your arrival time to allow for traffic/parking. Ticketed seating locations are not guaranteed once the performance begins. Refunds will not be given to latecomers.

eleCTRoniC DeViCesUse of mobile phones, pagers, alarms and electronics of any kind is prohibited during performances. Even when silenced, these devices emit distracting light. If you are concerned about missing an emergency call, you may leave your name, device and seat location with an usher and he or she will alert you if a call comes through. Photography, videography and recording devices are prohibited during performances. Violation will result in ejection without reentry.

ReMinDeRsChildren old enough to enjoy performances are welcome. A ticket must be purchased for any children attending aperformance and the child must be seated where a parent or guardian can supervise them. Babes in arms are not permitted. So that all patrons may enjoy the performance, please hold discussions and texting until after the perfor-mance ends; refrain from rustling wrapping paper during a performance; and be modest with your use of fragrances when attending performances.



ConneCTions

PRoGRaM noTes lIvETo help our patrons explore the historical and cultural backdrop along with in-depth looks into artist inspira-tions, Carolina Performing Arts presents Free public conversations in our program notes LiVe series. These intimate, inspirational discussions with artists, scholars and historians often in collaboration with other schools and colleges across the campus and region, help provide a deeper look into the creation, history and meaning of the works presented on the Memorial Hall stage.

Pre-Performance TalksFREE to all ticket holders, these half-hour discussions with guest artists, UNC faculty and local arts experts provide an in-depth look into the performance that evening. These insightful programs continue to grow in popularity. Post-Performance q&a with the artistsFollowing select Carolina Performing Arts performances, artists return to the stage to take questions from the audience. These intimate views into the artist experience provide viewpoints that further define the work just performed and offer a true “backstage” glimpse of the artists and their performances.

sTuDenT iMPaCTThe impact of the arts on a student’s education can be immeasurable. For $10, where else but in college can a student experience performances by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Yo-Yo Ma, Carolina Chocolate Drops and many, many others. Where else are students able to meet and participate in artist lectures, dem-onstrations and masterclasses? We feel strongly that the arts can be a core ingredient in preparing our students for life beyond the University walls. The impact is long lasting and powerful.

MasTeRClassesThis series of workshops and masterclasses highlight diverse styles taught by acclaimed artists visiting our campus. These unique classes provide the rarest of opportunities for students and community members to work closely with artists that perform on the Memorial Hall stage. These exciting events introduce artists to the campus and the local community. They share their knowledge of through masterclasses technique work-shops and free public lectures. This series provides experience, education and fun for local arts enthusiasts of all levels and ages.

at carolina performing arts, we strongly believe that bringing great artists to the memorial hall stage is not enough. We must also develop ways for our audiences to build a deeper, more robust relationship and understanding of the arts at carolina. We aim to achieve this by providing opportunities to connect our audiences, our students and our faculty with the world-renowned artists that visit our campus. These relationships are built and enhanced through artist interactions and with partnerships and collaborations with arts organizations across the Triangle, the United States and the world.
