SUMMARY:Branford Marsalis Quartet Belonging
DESCRIPTION:“He finds the classic jazz format of saxophone\, piano\, bass and drums an endless source of inspiration and\, over the years\, the quartet has developed a kind of group mind.”—The Guardian\nSaxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master\, Grammy Award winner\, and Tony and Emmy Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead\, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. After receiving Grammy nominations on its last two albums\, Upward Spiral and The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul\, the Quartet recently made its Blue Note Records debut with the release of Belonging\, a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett’s 1974 ECM album of the same name. This celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of original compositions\, jazz standards\, and popular classics. \nPERFORMANCE TALK\nJoin us for a free pre-performance talk by Senior Lecturer of Jazz David J Dangelo\,  Assistant Professor Greg Satterthwaite\, and Assistant Professor James Weidman in Ramsey Concert Hall from 6:15-6:45 pm.

SUMMARY:Camerata Nordica Octet
DESCRIPTION:“The Camerata Nordica are Swedish. They are also outstandingly good\, practised and magnetic in performance. Why magnetic? Because the empathy between the players is unique. They have no conductor and rely entirely upon mutual sensitivity\, deeply felt mutual intentions and good old fashioned eye contact and body language. ”—Musical Opinion (UK)\nFounded in 1974\, Camerata Nordica has become Sweden’s leading chamber orchestra. The musicians’ dynamic energy and shared musical purpose form the core of the group’s identity. The ensemble has garnered a reputation for its distinctive performance style\, captivating audiences by performing while standing up and occasionally by heart — as with Mendelssohn’s glorious Octet in E-flat Major\, Op. 20\, which will anchor the group’s first UGA Presents program. \nPart of Nordic Dream: Voices from Denmark\, Finland\, Norway\, and Sweden \nPERFORMANCE TALK\nJoin us for a free pre-performance talk by Theresa Chafin in Ramsey Concert Hall from 6:45-7:15 pm.

SUMMARY:Chris Thile
DESCRIPTION:“The afternoon carried on like this — Thile gently guiding the show like he was turning the sides of a colorful\, musical Rubik’s Cube — never once letting the air between himself and the very close audience settle on any one aspect of what he had to and was capable of offering.”—No Depression\nAcclaimed Grammy Award-winning mandolinist\, singer\, songwriter\, composer\, and MacArthur Fellow recipient of the prestigious “Genius Grant\,” Chris Thile is a multifaceted musical talent\, described by The Guardian as “that rare being: an all-round musician\,” and hailed by NPR as a “genre-defying musical genius.” Thile is a founding member of the highly influential string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek\, and has collaborated with countless luminaries from Yo-Yo Ma to Fiona Apple to Brad Mehldau. For four years\, Thile hosted public radio favorite Live from Here with Chris Thile (the successor to A Prairie Home Companion). With his broad outlook\, Thile creates a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike\, giving the listener “one joyous arc\, with the linear melody and vertical harmony blurring into a single web of gossamer beauty” (New York Times). \nOver the last year\, Thile has been touring with Nickel Creek in support of the critically acclaimed 2023 release Celebrants\, and captivating audiences with a playfully ambitious biographical composition entitled ATTENTION! (a narrative song cycle for extroverted mandolinist and orchestra). \nThe wide-ranging program of Thile’s 2025-2026 solo performances will feature selections from his acclaimed solo recordings of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas – including the upcoming second volume out this autumn – alongside his signature mix of classical\, folk and improvisational brilliance.

SUMMARY:Symbio
DESCRIPTION:Cinematic Electro-Folk from Sweden (Nordic/Celtic)\n“Wonderful\, catchy instrumental music with melodies that associate freely around the concept of folk/trad music and seek both electronic and art musical inspiration… The sound is about mood and produces a very special kind of shimmering warmth.”—Dagens Nyheter\nSymbio is regarded as one of the most prominent new bands from today’s Nordic folk and world music scene. The magical interplay of hurdy-gurdy (a hand-cranked string instrument) and accordion\, along with an electrifying stage presence\, enables the duo to use music to paint heartfelt melodies\, dreamy soundscapes\, and hypnotic beats depicting life-affirming themes across its mesmerizing reservoir of original compositions. The result is a sound full of rhythm and mystery\, orchestrated by the symbiotic relationship of two virtuosos. \nWORKSHOP\nGo inside the music when the band discusses their music\, instruments\, and Swedish culture. Free and open to the public (tickets not required) on Thurs\, Sept 25\, 12:45-2:00 pm. Learn more here. \nPart of Nordic Dream: Voices from Denmark\, Finland\, Norway\, and Sweden

SUMMARY:Athens Choral Festival
DESCRIPTION:On June 1\, 2024 it was my distinct privilege to conduct the Mozart Requiem at Carnegie Hall in New York City\, with an assembled chorus of 150 singers from 17 states around the country. That group gave a spectacular performance of that great work.  In the weeks that followed the idea to perform another concert in Athens with that group began to be considered.  An invitation was sent and 70 singers from 10 states have accepted\, and are coming to perform in Hodgson Hall for this special event.  The music to be performed is Mozart – Solemn Vespers and Forrest – Lux: The Dawn From on High.  Both are great works by great composers.  The Vespers are bright\, melodic\, rhythmic\, and exciting\, pure Mozart.  Lux is more personal\, but with much contemplation and exultation\, employing sweeping phrases and beautiful melodies.  Please join us — both pieces are music you will want to hear! \nJoe Napoli\, conductor
