2015-2016 Show Information Updated 9/28/2015 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.

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.

She’s also proven herself a talented actress, starring as Danny Glover’s screen wife in the Lethal Weapon films and lighting up Broadway in such musicals as Grease and the Tony Award-nominated Leader of the Pack.

Dave’s high-energy shows have made him synonymous with the season, with the El Paso Times saying, “Dave Koz = Christmas” and Examiner.com christening him “Santa Koz.” The 2015 Dave Koz and Friends Christmas tour will feature Dave along with three special guests. Koz will be joined by two tour “alumni” — the irrepressible Jonathan Butler, who has earned accolades in the R&B, contemporary jazz and gospel fields, and Dutch saxophone star Candy Dulfer, who was introduced with the smash pop single “Lily Was Here” and has since released 10 studio albums and performed with such artists as Prince, Dave Stewart and Lionel Ritchie — and the legendary Bill Medley, who will be touring with Koz for the first time. Medley, who co-founded The Righteous Brothers with Bobby Hatfield, has released 14 solo albums, including the Grammy-winning Dirty Dancing. Together, the four musicians will put fresh spins on holiday classics as well as other selections that beautifully capture the spirit of the season. http://davekoz.com/ Lee Ann Womack with special guest Ruthie Collins Saturday, December 5, 2015 at 3 pm Ticket prices $64 / $54 / $44 / $39 / $32 In a world of faster, harder, louder, country superstar Lee Ann Womack wants something far more radical: to be real. Strip it all away, get to the core of life, love and raw emotion – and you find songs that distill it all to the stopping power of a hollow point bullet. “It just seems like music, when it is most powerful, hits you right between the eyes,” says the Grammy-winning vocalist who has been singled out for “the clarity of a soul that realizes loss is a form of purification, a scraping away of false ideals and excess emotional baggage” by TIME Magazine. Hot on the heels of success of her latest album, The Way I’m Livin’, Womack, who is known for her old-fashioned themed songwriting (heartbreak, lost love…) mixed with contemporary elements (I Hope You Dance was a major crossover hit), acknowledges the frankness of her writing: “Some of these songs are hard truths, tough moments, places you’d rather not be, but you know, life takes you to those places sometimes.” Opening the evening is Ruthie Collins, a fresh voice on the country scene whose tones harken back to Hank Senior but with a sound fresh enough to turn country music on its ear. Collins is a mix of contradictions (youthful yet experienced sound; ethereal vocals over a completely unexpected backbeat) connected in a way that makes perfect sense. The effect is stunning — nowhere more so than on her debut single Ramblin’ Man. It’s time to give her a serious listen. http://leeannwomack.com/ http://ruthiecollinsmusic.com/
