2015-2016 Show Information Updated 4/2/2015 Snarky Puppy Saturday, June 20 at 8 pm Ticket prices $44 / $34 Brooklyn, New York-based Snarky Puppy is an instrumental fusion band featuring a collective of nearly 40 musicians, referred to as “The Fam.” Created by Grammy Award-winning bassist, composer and producer Michael League, and formed in Denton, Texas, in 2004, Snarky Puppy incorporates a wide variety of instruments into their music, such as guitars, pianos, keyboards, woodwinds, brass, percussion and strings. The band released their debut album, The Only Constant, in 2006; their latest album is 2014’s We Like It Here. Many of the current and former band members were once students at the University of North Texas, and they are routinely joined by other artists such as Erykah Badu, Justin Timberlake, Kirk Franklin, Ari Hoenig and Snoop Dogg. http://snarkypuppy.com/ Lawrence Brownlee Sunday, July 5, 2015 at 8 pm Music & Theatre Hall Ticket prices $49 The most in-demand American tenor in the world in the bel canto repertoire, Lawrence Brownlee continues to astonish audiences with the elegance and agility of his instrument. From firmly American roots, Mr. Brownlee has become a star on the international scene, lauded for the seemingly effortless beauty of his voice. He has been featured in nearly every major theater in the world and enjoys a relationship with many prominent conductors and symphony orchestras. Operatic highlights of Mr. Brownlee’s career include: La Cenerentola in Milan, Houston, Philadelphia, and the Metropolitan Opera; L'italiana in Algeri in Milan, Dresden, Boston, Houston, and Seattle; and I Puritani in Washington, Seattle, and the Metropolitan Opera. http://lawrencebrownlee.com Bobby McFerrin Saturday, July 11, 2015 at 8 pm Tickets prices $57 / $47 / $42 Bobby McFerrin was always an unlikely pop star. The 10-time Grammy winner has blurred the distinction between pop music and fine art, goofing around barefoot in the world’s finest concert halls, exploring uncharted vocal territory, inspiring a whole new generation of a cappella singers and the beatbox movement. His latest album, spirityouall, is a bluesy, feel-good recording, an unexpected move from the music-industry rebel who singlehandedly redefined the role of the human voice with his a cappella hit Don’t Worry, Be Happy. Beyond that he always kept people guessing, what would be next: his collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea and the Vienna Philharmonic, his improvising choir Voicestra, and his legendary solo vocal performances kept people doing just that. It’s been the quietest and most polite of revolutions. http://bobbymcferrin.com Kelli O'Hara Monday, July 13, 2015 at 8 pm Music & Theatre Hall Ticket prices $49 Kelli O’Hara has unequivocally established herself as one of Broadway’s great leading ladies.

If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses … think again.

They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fan base, numerous national TV appearances and proven success with CD releases.

Fresh off the release of his 14th studio album, Mandatory Fun (the first ever comedy album to debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200), Weird Al takes no prisoners with parodies of some of the biggest hits from 2014 such as Pharrell Williams’ Happy (Tacky), Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines (Word Crimes), Lorde’s Royals (Foil), Iggy Azalea’s Fancy (Handy) and Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive (Inactive).

With more than 5,000 performances spanning four decades and 20 million records sold worldwide, Cheap Trick is undoubtedly one of the most influential classic rock groups of the past 50 years. The band was formed in 1974 and while it has evolved throughout the years, Cheap Trick has continued to reach mainstream and critical success. Hits such as “I Want You To Want Me,” “Dream Police,” and “Surrender” have cemented the group as one of America’s top rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time. Peter Frampton remains one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was lead singer and guitarist for British band the Herd. At 18, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie. His session work includes collaborations with such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle and many others. His fifth solo album, the electrifying Frampton Comes Alive!, is one of the top-selling live records of all time. http://www.frampton.com/ http://www.cheaptrick.com/ Brian Regan Live Comedy Tour Sunday, August 30, 2015 at 7:00 pm Ticket prices $45 / $40 Comedian Brian Regan’s family friendly act has made him one of the premier funny men working today. His non-stop theater tour has taken him around the globe and in front of diverse audiences — all to critical and peer acclaim. The perfect balance of sophisticated writing and physicality, Regan consistently attracts full houses with fervent fans that span generations. He’s released a live, hour-long show album, All By Myself, and two highly praised, hour-long Comedy Central specials on DVD — “The Epitome of Hyperbole” and “Brian Regan Standing Up.” With his clean act, Regan has set a standard of excellence that others continually try to follow. “Regan has been blazing a trail of laughter over the past few years and it’s even more amazing when you realize he doesn’t need to be shocking or dirty to get a laugh. But what’s interesting is that most people won’t even realize this until the end of the show when they think, ‘Wait a minute. There isn’t one joke of his that I couldn’t tell my boss or my kids.’ ” —Metro Spirit Augusta, Georgia http://brianregan.com/ Chick Corea & Béla Fleck Tuesday, September 29, 2015 at 7:30 pm Tickets prices $69 / $59 / $42 As an icon in the music industry, Chick Corea needs little introduction.

From straight-ahead to avant-garde, bebop to jazz-rock fusion and more, Chick has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his career. Known as an adventuresome collaborator, he co-headlines this show with Béla Fleck, who is often considered the world’s greatest banjo player. Others claim that Fleck has virtually reinvented the image and the sound of the banjo through a remarkable performing and recording career. If you are familiar with Fleck, you know that he just loves to play the banjo, and can play it in almost any setting!

The Orchestra performs more than 100 concerts each year throughout Europe, Asia and the United States (they last performed here in 2009). Georg Schmöhe, as chief conductor, has been credited with raising the artistic profile of the orchestra as well as the continuing enhancement of its symphonic repertoire. Philippe Entremont serves as conductor, as well as piano soloist. The New York Times wrote: “To call Pepe Romero a superb guitarist is to understate the case … [he] is an exceptional musician, and one whose qualities would assuredly have made themselves known regardless of the instrument he had chosen for his own.” Known to millions as “The Royal Family of the Guitar,” the Romeros were founded by the legendary Celedonio Romero with his sons Celin, Pepe and Angel in 1960. Half a century after walking onto the world stage as the first classical guitar quartet, The Romeros continue to be a veritable institution in the world of classical music.

As it exists and thrives today, the Philharmonic represents an amalgamation of international and historical influences (and the lofty passions that witnessed tragedy and drove revolutions) while still capturing the prideful stoicism of contemporary Poland and the larger Baltic Sea coast. Ernst van Tiel performed just about all the important works from the symphonic repertoire, but in particular his interpretations of music from the 19th and 20th century provided him an international reputation. His activities abroad include guest conductorships among others at the orchestra of the Teatro Communale in Bologna, where he introduced works of contemporary Dutch composers, the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra with a program based on the music of Duke Ellington, the Royal Flemish Philharmonic, the National Orchestra of Belgium and several orchestras in Germany and China. http://www.filharmonia.gda.pl/index.php/en/ For program information, please visit the performance’s web page.
