A UNIVERSITY IS A UNIVERSE.OF IDEAS, DIALOGUE, THOUGHT.OF PEOPLE, IDENTITIES, AND CULTURES TO EXPLORE.
We love being part of the UVM Universe. And we love opening the University’s door to the wider community. This is a part of our mission that we take very seriously.
People often say, “The world is getting
smaller.” This is, in my opinion, an illusion
produced by instant communication
and a freakishly fast news cycle.
I think the world is vast, and it
comes with a whole lot of music to
explore. This year the Lane Series takes
you to the Caribbean and Latin America
(with the Duke of Bachata himself, Joan
Soriano, the great Brazilian Tropicalia
artist Cyro Baptista, and the extraordinary
classical guitarists Sérgio and Odair
Assad); to Africa (Mali and South Africa
with Trio Da Kali/Derek Gripper and
Zimbabwe with Nobuntu); the Celtic
lands (with Altan, Lúnasa, and Fara);
Europe (with the Semer Ensemble and
de Maeyer/Kende duo; and Israel (Avi
Avital, classical mandolin).
We also have an extraordinary
line-up of American artists, from one of
the most admired string quartets (the
St. Lawrence), to the young bluegrass
mandolin prodigy Sierra Hull, to the
beloved male choir Cantus (performing
their beautiful holiday show). We even
have a celebration of Leonard Bernstein
(no adjectives necessary)
on the occasion of the 100th
Anniversary of his birth,
hosted by his daughter, Jamie.
And did I mention that
it’s a Van Cliburn Piano
Competition year? Just as
we have every four years for
the past 24, we will present
the Cliburn Bronze, Silver,
and Gold medalists in recital
on our stage. What a thrill
that event is!
I think of the Lane
audience as a family of friends
on a quest for the joy that live
performance brings to our
lives. I hope you will join us
for many of these concerts,
talks, and special events at
our little microcosm of the
universe: the UVM Recital Hall.
See you there!

VAN CLIBURNINTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION
Winning the first Tchaikovsky
Competition in Moscow at the
height of the Cold War in 1958
brought Van Cliburn unprecedented
celebrity for an American concert
pianist. Cliburn’s international
victory instilled a fresh sense of
artistic pride in many Americans, while
opening the door to a new era of cultural
relations between East and West. He quickly
became one of the most persuasive ambassadors
of American culture, helping tear down cultural
barriers years ahead of glasnost and perestroika,
and transcending politics by demonstrating the
universality of classical music. The Van Cliburn
International Piano Competition was established
shortly thereafter by a small corps of volunteers
from Fort Worth, Texas, to perpetuate Van
Cliburn’s unique legacy of demonstrating how
classical music, in the hands of a master, has
the appeal to reach across all borders. First held
in 1962, the quadrennial competition quickly
established itself as an event that inspires and
engages the local community, while gracing the
international stage.
In a process that
begins with visits to
five audition sites
around the world to
hear 133 pianists,
the jury invites
thirty to compete in
the preliminary round,
twelve compete in the semifinal
round, and six vie for top honors
in the final round. The Lane Series
is pleased to be able to present the
gold, silver, and bronze medalists
from the 15th Van Cliburn
Competition.

JOAN SORIANO, BACHATA
Known as El Duque de Bachata and the subject of
a feature-length documentary of that name, Joan
Soriano is a master of Bachata: an infectious, melodic
dance and music style essential to the culture of the
Dominican Republic. Born in the rural countryside
near Santo Domingo, Soriano infuses this soulful music
with longing, romance, and grit. Along with his six-
person band, Soriano brings a new sound to our stage:
addictive rhythms from the Afro-Caribbean world
combined with his gorgeous singing, intricate steel
string guitar playing, and sensuous dance moves.

JOLENTE DE MAEYER,VIOLIN, AND NIKOLAAS KENDE, PIANO: AN EVENING IN VIENNA
Jolente de Maeyer, violin, and Nikolaas Kende, piano,
are internationally renowned artists, both as soloists and
as a duo, and they are coming as part of a very limited
U.S. tour, so we are fortunate to have them! Jolente
studied with Yehudi Menuhin and at the Royal College
of Music in London, and she is the recipient of awards
from the Jong Tenuto Competition, the Charles de Beriot
Competition, the Cardona International Competition, and
the Benjamin Britten International Violin Competition.
Nikolaas studied at the Antwerp Conservatory and at
the Amsterdam Conservatory and is a prize winner of
several competitions, including the Antwerp Cantabile
Competition, the Axiom Classics Competition, and
the Royal Flemish Young Soloists Competition. Jolente
and Nikolaas (also husband and wife) formed as a duo
in 2003 and, in 2016, released their first album of
music by Beethoven, Shostakovich, and Pärt. They will
perform a program titled An Evening in Vienna, which
includes Beethoven’s Sonata No. 9 in A Major, Op. 47,
“Kreutzer”; Schubert’s Sonata in A Major, D. 574, “Grand
Duo”; and Mendelssohn’s Sonata in F minor, Op. 4.

ENSEMBLE 4.1, WINDTET
Describing itself as “the only piano windtet of its
kind,” Ensemble 4.1 was founded in 2013 with
the fostering and oversight of the renowned Goethe
Institut. Thomas Hoppe (piano and member of the
ATOS Trio), Jörg Schneider (oboe), Alexander
Glücksmann (clarinet), Christoph Knitt (bassoon),
and Fritz Pahlmann (horn) devote themselves to
discovering rarely-played compositions from the 19th
and 20th centuries and have rekindled enthusiasm
for works by composers such as Walter Gieseking,
Theodor Verhey, Hermann Zilcher, and David
Stephen (in addition, of course, to masterpieces for
this unusual grouping of instruments by Mozart and
Beethoven). Ensemble 4.1 has repeatedly been praised
for the intoxicating atmosphere and powerful musical
communication it delivers onstage. The Lane program
includes Mozart’s Quintet in E-flat Major, K452;
Beethoven’s Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 16; Heinrich
von Herzogenberg’s Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 43;
and Avner Dorman’s “Jerusalem Mix” (2007).

CYRO BAPTISTA:BANQUET OF THE SPIRITS
This Brazilian-born percussionist, multi-instrumentalist,
composer, and singer is best known for being one of
the great artists in the Tropicalia style of Brazilian
music. Cyro Baptista’s credits read like a “Who’s
Who” of modern music. He’s toured extensively with
Yo-Yo Ma’s Brazil Project, Trey Anastasio, Herbie
Hancock’s Grammy award-winning “Gershwin’s
World,” Sting, James Taylor, Bobby McFerrin, and
Paul Simon’s “Rhythm of the Saints.” Banquet of
the Spirits is his homage to world music, and he’s
assembled a magnificent band and a stage full of very
unusual instruments. He’s a funny, warm, charming,
and incredibly accomplished presence, and we are
honored to welcome him to Lane.

NOBUNTU
Nobuntu is a five-woman a cappella choral group from
Zimbabwe that is making a splash internationally
with their magnificent voices raised in power and
harmony. Honoring their past while celebrating the
present, Nobuntu’s joyous performances range from
traditional Zimbabwean songs, to Afro-Pop, Jazz, and
Gospel. We thought this was a fitting follow-up to the
extraordinary evening with Ladysmith Black Mambazo
this past spring, and we’re excited to bring this
thrilling music to our audience.

ST. LAWRENCE STRING QUARTET
One of the greatest string quartets performing today,
the St. Lawrence String Quartet earned international

(1989), winning both the Banff Quartet Competition
and the Young Concert Artists Competition in
1992. The ensemble (Geoff Nuttall, violin; Owen
Dalby, violin; Lesley Robertson, viola; Christopher
Costanza, cello) has built a reputation for imaginative
and spontaneous music-making and is committed
not only to the great quartet literature but also to
championing new works. In addition to performing
regularly worldwide, the quartet has established an
ongoing residency at Spoleto Festival USA and is also
the ensemble in residence at Stanford University. They
will be performing the String Quartet in D minor, Op. 56
“Intimate Voices” by Sibelius; selections from “John’s
Book of Alleged Dances” by John Adams; and String

SEMER ENSEMBLE:RESCUED TREASURE
In 1938, on Kristallnacht, in Berlin, the entire archive
and storehouse of an important repository of Jewish
records and music was destroyed. Believing that this
material must still exist somewhere in the form of sheet
music and records sold to patrons, German musicologist
Dr. Rainer E. Lotz has made it his life’s work to seek out
these many rare examples of Jewish music produced
by Semer Records. An all-star cast of musicians from
Europe and the United States has formed the Semer
Ensemble to bring this recovered music to the public
for the first time. The often dramatic, emotional songs
range from klezmer, to cabaret, to prayer music.
Led by the great Alan Bern (Brave Old World) and
including Yiddish vocalist Lorin Sklamberg (Klezmatics),
Daniel Kahn (The Painted Bird), and more, this is an
astonishing evening of the Golden Age of Jewish Music
that was almost lost to history and violence.

A HOLIDAY CONCERT WITH CANTUS:THREE TALES OF CHRISTMAS
We are thrilled to welcome back this incredible
male vocal ensemble, which performed to a sold-out
house in the spring of 2013. Cantus is widely known
for its trademark warmth and blend, innovative
programming, and engaging performances of music
ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century.
For the holiday season, Cantus has prepared a
delightful program which features familiar carols
and new holiday songs interwoven with narrated
passages from the classic holiday stories A Christmas
Carol, Gift of the Magi, and ‘Twas the Night Before
Christmas. Three Tales of Christmas reminds us
of the meaning and joy of the season with a fresh
perspective and just the right amount of nostalgia.

AN IRISH CHRISTMAS WITH LÚNASA ANDASHLEY DAVIS, VOCALS
Lúnasa is one of the great Irish bands, and as many of
you know, we have co-presented them several times
at the Flynn. When the opportunity arose to bring
them to our small stage for a holiday show, we thought,
“Why not?” The truth is, Lúnasa is an intimate
band in its ethos and spirit, and the chance to hear
them in this setting seemed too good to resist. Just
thinking about the charm of flute/pipes player Kevin
Crawford’s stories and tall-tales makes us laugh! The
icing on the cake is that the lads are bringing a Celtic
singer: the charming and accomplished Ashley Davis,
whose voice will definitely put us in the holiday spirit.

ROB SCHWIMMER,THEREMIN, PIANO,HAKEN CONTINUUM
Rob Schwimmer, a master thereminist from the
duo Polygraph Lounge, will present a program that
includes stunning originals, his unique take on the
Great American Songbook (through jazz, Americana,
and fascinating movie soundtracks), and avant-garde,
classical, and the unclassifiable. Rob’s triple recital
will range from the piano, to theremin (one of the first
electronic instruments and the only instrument you
play without touching), to an amazing new instrument
called the Haken Continuum, which raises electronic
expression into the realm of the immediacy and depth
of acoustic instruments. As always with Schwimmer,
he brings his audience with him on a deeply artistic
yet fun journey of musical discovery and adventure.

SIERRA HULL TRIO, BLUEGRASS
Oh, she’s the Real Thing, this one. A preteen bluegrass
prodigy on the mandolin, Sierra Hull was first called
to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry at age 11 by Alison
Krauss. Two years later, she had her first contract
with Rounder Records. She played the White House,
Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center, and became
the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential
Scholarship at the Berklee College of Music. Now, at
the ripe age of 24, she has put together a crackerjack
band and continues developing her unbelievable chops
on the mandolin as well as her vocal and songwriting
talents. This is a story of a brilliant young artist
developing, even beyond her original promise.

SÉRGIO & ODAIR ASSAD,DUO GUITAR, AND AVI AVITAL, CL ASSICAL MANDOLIN
It is a huge coup for us to be able to present such
incredible classical guitar and mandolin talent on the
Lane Series. Brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad are
perhaps the most well-known and highly regarded duo
guitar team in the world, and we are so honored to be
able to host them in our hall. These Brazilian artists
are renowned for their impeccable artistry, uncanny
ensemble playing, and talent in both classical and
traditional music. Their virtuosity has inspired a wide
range of composers to write for them, including Astor
Piazzolla, Terry Riley, and Francisco Mignone, and
they have also worked extensively with such artists as
Yo-Yo Ma, Paquito D’Rivera, and Dawn Upshaw. The
Assad Brothers will be joined by Grammy-nominated
Avi Avital on mandolin, who is recognized as one of
the world’s most exciting and adventurous musicians
and performs a variety of music from baroque, to
contemporary, to klezmer. Avi has won numerous
competitions and awards, performs in solo recitals and
with ensembles around the world, and has collaborated
extensively with Giora Feidman, Dawn Upshaw, and
Richard Galliano.

ROBBIE FULKS BAND,AMERICANA
Robbie’s performance in Jenny Scheinman’s
Kannapolis ensemble reminded us that he is one
of our great Americana musicians who always has
something interesting and new to say on a stage. What
can you expect from a Robbie Fulks show? Masterful
guitar playing, trenchant wit and storytelling, songs
that tear your heart out or move you to recognition
and laughter, and, well, as some of you may remember
from Kannapolis, that voice. Frankly, the guy is a
marvel, and we thought it was high time to invite this
artist back to Vermont for his very own show with his
very own stellar band.

TIERNEY SUTTON:THE STING VARIATIONS
Seven time Grammy Award-nominated vocalist
Tierney Sutton performs the music of Sting in this
evening of beautiful jazz arrangements of songs by one
of the master pop composers of our time. An exquisite
jazz vocalist, Tierney has headlined in recent years
at The Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy
Center, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. Her band is not
just a backing ensemble but an integral part of the
performance, and when instrumental virtuosos
Trey Henry, Ray Brinker, and Christian Jacob
start the first notes of Driven to Tears, Message in a
Bottle, Every Breath you Take, and more, it is simply
magical. Whether you are a Sting fan, or a chamber
jazz fan, or both, we hope you’ll join us for this
belated Valentine’s Day celebration.

CALIDORE STRINGQUARTET
Our audience knows that it is a priority of the Lane
Series to seek out and present rising stars in the classical
music field. This year, we are pleased to bring you the

Music Society of Lincoln Center’s prestigious CMS Two
program. Violinists Jeffrey Myers and Ryan Meehan,

graduates of the Colburn Conservatory of Music in Los
Angeles. In 2016, they became the first North American
ensemble to win the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and

which has brought with it recordings, international radio
broadcasts, and appearances in Britain’s most prominent
venues. Their performance includes the Divertimento in F
Major, K. 138 by Mozart; Quartet in D Major, Op. 44, No. 1
by Mendelssohn; First Essay: Nimrod by Caroline Shaw;
and Quartet in C minor, Op 51, No. 1 by Brahms.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY WITHALTAN
CO-PRESENTED WITH THE FLYNN CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
We love all of our Irish bands, but Altan may be the
Gold Standard. Led by the spectacular two-fiddle front
line (in the Donegal style) of Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh
and Ciaran Tourish, Altan never fails to whip an
audience into that happy place that live performance
uniquely creates. Sweetened by Mairéad’s beautiful
voice (the quintessential pure Irish soprano), there is
just so much to look forward to in an Altan concert.
For 30 years, this band has held its place at the head of
the pack, and we all know why: from hard driving jigs
and reels, to the sweet and sad ballads sung in Gaelic
and English, to the mastery of the form and freshness
of vision — it’s an Altan year, and we are so excited!

LATE NIGHT WITH LEONARD BERNSTEIN WITH JAMIE BERNSTEIN, MICHAEL BORISKIN,AMY BURTON, & JOHN MUSTO
We celebrate the great American maestro, composer,
educator, and bon vivant on the occasion of the 100th
Anniversary of his birth. Leonard Bernstein was a
late night kind of guy — honestly, he was an insomniac
who had trouble turning off his brilliant, creative, and
prolific mind. Known for his late night soirées and
musicales at his apartment in the Dakota, Bernstein
created some of the world’s most enchanting music
in a wide variety of genres. Narrated by his daughter,
Jamie Bernstein (how about that for up close and
personal?), and featuring pianists Michael Boriskin
and John Musto and soprano Amy Burton, this multi-
media cabaret brings us stories, songs, photos, film,
and personal anecdotes from his life. How thrilling to
share an evening with Lenny, the music and the man.

TRIO DA KALI ANDDEREK GRIPPER, GUITAR
Oh, this is beautiful music! Trio Da Kali brings
together three outstanding musicians from the Mandé
culture of southern Mali who come from a long line
of distinguished griots. The trio is formed by vocalist
Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté (known as the African
Mahalia Jackson for her vocal power and expression),
balafon player Lassana Diabaté, and bass ngoni
player Mamadou Kouyaté. They are joined by the
extraordinary South African guitarist Derek Gripper.
Gripper has spent years transcribing and perfecting
the work of great kora artists on the guitar, and his
playing is like nothing you have ever heard: when Trio
Da Kali first heard him perform, these consummate
musicians from an unbroken line of traditional artists
knew they must tour with him.

FARA
In April of 2017, Lane Director Natalie Neuert was
invited to a gathering of musicians and presenters in
Scotland. After seeing 23 bands in five days, there were
three or four groups that she knew would be perfect
for the Lane audience. Fara is four young women
(three fiddles and piano) from the Orkney Islands
who have been friends and made music together since
childhood. Their fiery sound is balanced by gorgeous
harmonizing vocals, and their songs are a mix of
traditional and trad-influenced original writing. All
musicians with serious chops, they hold degrees from
The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Strathclyde
University, The Royal Northern College of Music, and The
Royal Academy of Music. They have all since established
themselves in the Scottish music scene, winning
prestigious prizes including the BBC Radio 2 Young
Folk Award and BBC Radio Scotland’s Young Traditional
Musicians of the Year. This will be their first U.S. tour.

We sincerely hope you will consider joining the family of Lane Series supporters, whose
contributions are integral to helping us achieve our mission of bringing a unique combination of
arts, education, and culture to the community.
Lane Series income comes from four important sources: ticket sales, a yearly dividend from
our founding endowment, gifts from businesses and individuals in direct support of our concerts
and events, and donations from individuals to our Annual Fund.
In addition to the general support of our Series, donors to our Annual Fund make the
following Lane Series outreach activities possible:
■ Free tickets for underserved community
members through our ARTIX program
■ Pre- and Post-talks with our artists
■ Master classes with musicians for
University of Vermont students, grade
school and high school students, and
members of our community
■ $10 and under student tickets
■ Educational outreach activities, including
workshops, classes, and seminars
■ Post-concert receptions that include an
opportunity to meet the artists
■ Collaborative performances with UVM’s
Department of Music and Dance and other
cross-campus and community partners
Ticket sales and the endowment created by the Lane family in 1955 have never covered the
costs of a Lane Series season and the important activities listed above. We therefore rely on the
generosity and support of individuals in our community to continue to help make our valuable
institution thrive.
Your tax-deductible gift to the Annual Fund can be generally designated to the Lane Series or
can be specifically designated to the Lane Series Concert Artists Fund (which supports classical
chamber music and solo recitals). In addition to check and credit card payments, we welcome gifts
of stock and securities, and we can also help you if you are interested in making a planned gift or
charitable bequest. Please call our office at (802) 656-4455 with any questions.
Y O U R G I F T I S E X T R E M E L Y I M P O R T A N T T O U S .
