Tulsa Symphony – Beethoven’s 4th Symphony

January 14, 2017 | 7:30 - 10 p.m.

MENDELSSOHN The Hebrides RAVEL Le tombeau de Couperin RAVEL Tzigane BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 4 Inspiration shows up anywhere and everywhere. Mendelssohn, a lover of nature, found inspiration in the natural acoustics of a sea cave in the InneTur Hebrides of Scotland. The idea for Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin came forth on a battlefield in World War I, and his Hungarian musical style of Tzigane, after hearing a private concert of a talented Hungarian violinist. While catching his breath before returning to the heroic struggles of the Fifth Symphony, Beethoven found inspiration for his illuminating Symphony No. 4 while retiring in the country estate of a devoted admirer. Daniel Hege, principal guest conductor Rossitza Jekova-Goza, violin Pre-concert conductor chat begins at 6:30 and student performances at 6:45. All are invited to attend the post-concert reception and meet the musicians and conductor! http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=37848&pid=8223419&agency=TULSA_PAC

Remembrance 2000

April 5-27, 2017 | 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art partners with the Tulsa Performing Arts Center to honor the late Michael Knigin and his show, “Remembrance 2000,” in the PAC Gallery during April. Knigin’s exhibit features 25 pieces across a series of images on canvas, all commemorating both dead and living heroes of the Holocaust. Knigin’s art serves as an ongoing reminder of the past and a step toward building a better future. “In my paintings and graphics, I seek to isolate objects and images from their mundane contexts and reorganize them, thereby granting them a new life,” said Knigin. “I select colors, textures and forms that complement the realistic images that I use. The elements reinforce the fact that I am creating something new, not merely replicating nature’s truths.” The gallery is open April 5-27, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and during all Chapman Music Hall events.

Recycled art is something that is beautiful, unique and/or timeless… it just happens to be created with junk. Do these pieces of art really rate an art show and are they worth the purchase? Make plans to stop by and see for yourself! Opening night is set for April 6th, 2017 from 5:30 to 8:30pm at Your Design located at 211 S. Main St.; in the heart of the Rose District. There will be live local music, delicious food and wine provided for this event. This annual event is always open to the public and free of charge. Our goal is to introduce art to as many people as possible. Our hope is by experiencing these art shows and meeting the local artists the community is inspired and motivated to create for themselves. Our desire is to support and encourage local artists! The duration of the show is from April 6th – April 28th.

Ein Deutsches Requiem was not intended as a mass for the dead as his contemporaries and earlier composers had written, but instead as a work of consolation for those left behind. James Bagwell, guest conductor Tulsa Oratorio Chorus Pre-concert conductor chat begins at 6:30 and student performances at 6:45. All are invited to attend the post-concert reception and meet the musicians and conductor! http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=37848&pid=8223421&agency=TULSA_PAC

Tulsa Symphony – Firebird-Featuring Tulsa Oratorio Chorus

May 13, 2017 | 7:30 - 10 p.m.

HAYDN Symphony No. 90 KODALY Háry János Suite STRAVINSKY The Firebird Suite (1945 version) Conducted by Daniel Hege, this program is sure to elicit a smile from seasoned concertgoers and first-timers alike. Haydn’s Symphony No. 90 is not without glimpses into his humorous, prankster side. Influenced by his love for both folk music and for French impressionistic music, Kodaly was able to paint in impressionistic orchestral colors the comedic tale of a Hungarian style Don Quixote in his Háry János Suite. Stravinsky captivates listeners with his ballet music suite The Firebird. Even without the ballet theater, Stravinsky’s music summons the imagination to delight in Russian fairy tales of the magical glowing bird that can be a blessing or a curse to its owner. Daniel Hege, principal guest conductor Pre-concert conductor chat begins at 6:30 and student performances at 6:45. All are invited to attend the post-concert reception and meet the musicians and conductor! http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=37848&pid=8223422&agency=TULSA_PAC

As missionaries traveled across the early United States into Indian Country, they became one of the first to document Native languages and create translations of the Bible and other Christian texts, including church hymns. This blending of music and language lead to a new series of a hybrid music, composed by tribal citizens. For Southeast American Indians (Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and Seminole) this beloved hybrid‐style of music is now more than 200 years old with a vast repertoire. American Indian church hymns are unmistakably native and is the third category of traditional Southeast American Indian music, alongside stomp dancing and timeworn folk songs.

Celebrity Guest Announced So Far: Catherine Hicks - Catherine appeared in several high profile films through the early 1980s, in leading and supporting roles whilst also appearing on television. Films included: Death Valley (1982), Garbo Talks (1984), The Razor's Edge (1984) and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986). She played "Dr. Gillian Taylor", opposite lead actor William - Shatner, in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), a cult sequel to the popular Star Trek films. In the late 1980s, she played the lead role of "Karen Barclay" in Child's Play (1988), a film that remains highly regarded in the horror genre. It was on the set of this film that Catherine met her future husband, Kevin Yagher, with whom she had a daughter in 1992. Despite her obvious talent, big movie roles never seemed to find their way to her in the early 1990s. In spite of this, she worked consistently, appearing in Liebestraum (1991), Dillinger and Capone (1995), the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie Redwood Curtain (1995), and a small role in the semi-high profile movie, Turbulence (1997). In 1996, she landed the lead role in the Warner Bros. television series, 7th Heaven (1996), playing "Annie Jackson-Camden". From that point on, her career revolved around the television series and her family, occasionally appearing in films. Her last to-date film was the television movie, For All Time (2000), opposite Mark Harmon. 7th Heaven (1996) was canceled in 2007, after a successful eleven-year run, but it is likely that this attractive and talented actress will remain in films and television for a long time to come. Chase Masterson - Chase Masterson is perhaps best known as sexy casino girl “Leeta” on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) and “Ivy Lief” on General Hospital (1963), as well as being the featured guest star in the first Emmy Award-winning episode of ER (1994). Masterson was named one of the “Hot Leading Ladies” of Film in 2008 by “Film Fetish”, one of the world’s “50 Sexiest Women” by “Femme Fatales Magazine”, the “#1 Favorite Science Fiction Actress on Television” in a “TV Guide” online readers’ poll, and one of the “Top 20 People to Watch in Hollywood” by “Sci-Fi Universe Magazine”. She was also named “Best Feature Film Producer” by the LA Femme Film Festival for her work on Yesterday Was a Lie (2008). Justin Nimmo - Justin Nimmo is an American actor who is best known for his role as Zhane in Power Rangers in Space. He was born in Lexington, Oklahoma and currently resides in Purcell, Oklahoma. Nimmo's film appearances range from American Indian Graffiti, The Cabin, Dude, Where’s My Car, and Pleasantville. He has also appeared on television in Power Rangers in Space and Saved by the Bell. Currently Nimmo is a small business owner in Purcell, OK. John Anderson - John Anderson is an actor, comedian, and self-proclaimed professional "Trick Talking Meat" who hails from Birmingham, Alabama. He landed his first major motion picture role as a Ravager in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. John also appeared in Sleepy Hollow, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Case for Christ, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, MacGyver, Being Mary Jane, and Tyler Perry's Too Close to Home. He will appear in a number of television shows and movies premiering later this year, and most recently appeared in Make-up Artist Magazine, displaying his alien movie make-up as a Hurctarian Ravager. Tom Waite - Tom Waite is a Hollywood actor and stuntman. His acting credits include roles in such films as: The Amazing Spiderman, Rage, Ride Along and All Nighter (2017). His TV roles include: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alias, Castle, and Supergirl. Along with doing his own stunts in such films and TV shows as: Pirates of the Caribbean, Snow White and the Huntsman, The Last Airbender, CHUCK, CSI Miami, and Training Day, he has been the stuntman for some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
