SUMMARY:I Am A Voice That Sings
DESCRIPTION:I Am a Voice That Sings is a celebration of the joy\, courage\, and connection that live within all of us. Through a diverse and uplifting program performed by all ensembles of the Georgia Children’s Chorus – including works by Tracy Wong\, Benjamin Britten\, Marques L.A. Garrett\, Abbie Betinis\, and Michael Bussewitz-Quarm\, the concert explores music that reminds us to look beyond the noise and comparisons of the outside world and instead listen to the wisdom of our own hearts. These songs invite us to seek light in moments of uncertainty\, to support one another\, and to sing with honesty and hope. Above all\, we hope this program inspires our audience to remember a simple truth: each of us is enough\, and each of us is a voice that sings.

SUMMARY:Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
DESCRIPTION:Due to the concert in Sanford Stadium on April 25\, this performance was moved to Wednesday\, April 29. All tickets remain valid for the new date. Ticketholders may contact the Performing Arts Center Box Office (706-542-4400) if you have additional questions. \nQuintet Revelations\nThe piano quintet is a powerhouse chamber ensemble\, combining the sonic richness of a string quartet with the symphonic aura of grand piano. Inspired by Robert Schumann’s early example\, composers from the early Romantic age all the way through the 21st century have contributed significantly to the genre. Russian master Anton Arensky\, teacher of Rachmaninov\, penned his sole quintet in his mature years\, and ever-popular French composer Camille Saint-Saëns began his prolific chamber music career with this early quintet of surprising skill and maturity. Bracing violin duos by virtuosi of the Baroque and Classical eras serve as effervescent preludes. \nCANCELLED: PERFORMANCE TALK\nDue to a scheduling conflict\, the performance talk for this event has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience. The performance itself will continue as scheduled.

SUMMARY:Ballets Jazz Montréal Dance Me: The Music of Leonard Cohen
DESCRIPTION:“Leonard Cohen’s art and soul shine on in this stirring tribute.”—Telegraph\nSexy\, explosive\, and completely original—Ballets Jazz Montréal (BJM) arrives in Athens with one of this season’s most anticipated tour de force in Dance Me. Developed with the personal blessing of Leonard Cohen\, Dance Me is more than a tribute; it is a breathtaking translation of a legend’s soul into physical form. \nBJM doesn’t just move to Cohen’s songs—they surrender to it. Through movement\, they capture the mood and essence that made Cohen such an icon. From the depth of his voice to the sharp wit of his lyrics\, these world-class dancers embody the very rhythm of his poetry. The result? A performance where impeccable technique meets raw\, individual personality. \n“Ballets Jazz Montréal shattered my preconceptions in the most impressive\, original way.”—BalletcoForum \nTributes are often echoes but Dance Me is the roar. Don’t just watch the music. See it. \nAbout\nCurrently celebrating its 50th anniversary\, Ballets Jazz Montréal is an internationally renowned repertory company that embodies excellence\, innovation\, and passion. The company’s highly acclaimed Dance Me was originally conceived to celebrate the city of Montréal’s 375th Anniversary and is “a feast for the eyes and a delight to listen” (Huffington Post). \nCreated from the timeless music and words of Leonard Cohen\, the piece was approved by the Montréal-based poet\, artist\, and songwriter. The performance combines choreography\, music\, lighting\, visual design\, and videography in a riveting homage to the famed artist exploring “the grand cycles of existence” through Cohen’s beloved songs. These include “Hallelujah\,” “Suzanne\,” “First We Take Manhattan\,” and “Everybody Knows.” \nThe Classic Center Theatre\nFor information about parking at The Classic Center Theatre\, please visit the Classic Center’s website here.

SUMMARY:Cécile McLorin Salvant
DESCRIPTION:“There’s an intellectual playfulness to everything that Cécile McLorin Salvant’s velvety voice touches. It rises and falls with authority\, striking highs that flutter and lows that grumble and roar. Her wordplay teases\, taunts and tests in a way that forces her to not just sing a lyric\, but dive into roles with the zeal of a method actor.”—Downbeat\nSinger and composer Cécile McLorin Salvant is one of the greatest vocalists of her generation and a true creative force. She won Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album for three consecutive releases and a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship\, among many other honors. The late Jessye Norman once described her as “a unique voice supported by an intelligence and full-fledged musicality\, which light up every note she sings.” Salvant comes to Hodgson Concert Hall at last to perform her glittering interpretations of jazz standards and unearthed treasures from her eclectic repertoire.

SUMMARY:Ébène Quartet
DESCRIPTION:“In line with the quartet’s name\, the performance evoked the characteristics of ebony: opaque and dense\, much like the hardwood that gains depth and significance through polishing and appreciation of its intricate grain.”—Bachtrack\nAttending a concert by the French ensemble Quatuor Ébène is a musical experience unlike any other. For 25 years\, this award-winning string quartet has achieved new heights by transforming familiar repertoire into sounds beyond perfection and by constantly seeking a dynamic exchange with themselves and with the audience. The group’s first visit to UGA in 16 years promises to showcase the musicians at their very best\, performing Ravel’s brilliant string quartet alongside two of Beethoven’s iconic works. \nPERFORMANCE TALK\nJoin us for a free pre-performance talk in Hodgson Concert Hall from 6:45-7:15 pm. \nNOTE\nUnfortunately\, the violist Marie Chilemme is unable to participate in the quartet’s spring tour. The wonderful Hélène Clément (former violist of the Doric String Quartet) will take her place for this performance.

SUMMARY:Sphinx Virtuosi Randall Goosby\, violin
DESCRIPTION:“[The performance] opened with a propulsive\, richly hued interpretation…which demonstrated the ensemble’s polish and tonal allure.”–The New York Times\nThe Sphinx Virtuosi are an inspiring self-conducted chamber orchestra that transforms lives through the power of music.
