Clink the link to check availability. \n“Nickel Creek takes us on a journey that we don’t want to miss.”—Folk Alley \nNickel Creek is the platinum-selling\, internationally renowned roots trio of mandolinist Chris Thile\, violinist Sara Watkins\, and guitarist Sean Watkins.

SUMMARY:Yonder Mountain String Band
DESCRIPTION:“More than most of their jam band-scene counterparts\, Yonder Mountain String Band grows more polished\, more dynamic\, more adventurous and more commanding every year.”—Dallas Observer \nAt 25 years old\, Yonder Mountain String Band continues to exist at the forefront of the progressive bluegrass scene as undeniable innovators and pioneers of the modern jamgrass movement. Blending bluegrass with elements of rock\, alternative\, psychedelic and improvisational music\, Yonder Mountain String Band brought their high-energy acoustic sound into rock ‘n’ roll settings with tremendous success\, proving it was possible for a bluegrass band to not only exist but excel in a rock world without drums. \nThe inroads they made created opportunities for like-minded acoustic bands to perform at festivals\, rock clubs\, theaters and stadiums previously considered off-limits for string bands. Yonder Mountain’s high-energy sound\, compelling original music and anything goes attitude cultivated a spirit of collaborative improvisation that continues to fuel today’s progressive bluegrass and jamgrass scenes. \nIt is a testament to the legacy of Yonder Mountain String Band that their original songs and unique interpretations/arrangements of covers are regularly performed by next generation bands in the scene. \nYonder Mountain String Band celebrates their quarter century mark with a Grammy nomination for their 2022 release\, Get Yourself Outside\, and an induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:Joshua Redman 3x3
DESCRIPTION:“Redman is among the most accomplished living practitioners of the jazz tenor saxophone.”—NPR Music \nJazz superstar Joshua Redman’s latest project is a celebration of the power of three—the music of three iconic jazz composers interpreted in the classic trio format of saxophone\, bass\, and drums. The music is drawn from the works of Duke Ellington\, Thelonious Monk\, and Wayne Shorter\, each of whom Redman considers “not just relevant but foundational” musicians. The 3×3 concept emerged in part from Redman’s COVID-19 pandemic experience\, and now the legendary saxophone player\, composer\, and 10-time Grammy Award nominee brings his unique style of intimate\,\nvirtuosic jazz to UGA for the first time.

SUMMARY:Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Nathalie Stutzmann\, music director Bach and Friends
DESCRIPTION:1685 was a banner year. Two little boys were born in Germany\, about 100 miles apart. One is among the world’s most influential composers. The other wrote Messiah. Six hundred miles to the south\, a third boy was learning the violin. Today\, they dominate western music written before the arrival of Mozart. \nEach year\, around the world\, professional and community choirs—as well as many intrepid audience members—gather to sing George Frideric Handel’s massive oratorio written on the life of Christ. On YouTube\, a single video of Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has over 248 million views. And\, thanks to NASA’s Voyager mission\, two pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach are hurtling through interstellar space at over 38\,000 miles per hour. \nOf the three\, Bach was the least traveled. He lived his life in central Germany. Twice he hoped to meet Handel\, but their schedules never aligned. He encountered Vivaldi through a book of Italian concertos and was so impressed he made keyboard transcriptions of them. (For many years\, Bach’s transcriptions served as a tether between Vivaldi\, who was largely forgotten\, and oblivion.) Vivaldi became a jumping-off point for Bach as he wrote concertos of his own. \nProbably\, Handel and Vivaldi did meet. In his early twenties\, Handel traveled to Italy\, learning the language\, learning to imitate Italian music\, and readying himself for a brilliant career in Great Britain. \nProgram to consist of selections from Bach\, Vivaldi\, and Handel. \nPlease Note: This concert will be performed without intermission. Approximate concert length is 80 minutes. \n\n\nPre-performance talk in Ramsey Concert Hall at 2:15 pm (free admission).  \n\n\n  \n\nFree shuttle transportation to this performance is available for Clarke County seniors\, thanks to a partnership between the Performing Arts Center and the Athens Community Council on Aging.

SUMMARY:Curtis on Tour Eric Owens\, bass-baritone Singers from Curtis Opera Theatre
DESCRIPTION:“His powerful voice\, with its earthy textures and resonant sound\, is ideal.”—New York Times \nWhat do Hercules\, Porgy\, and the Norse god Wotan have in common? They’ve all been portrayed by big-voiced American bass-baritone Eric Owens. A frequent star of the Metropolitan Opera\, he’s sharing the stage with students from the Curtis Institute\, where he serves as director of vocal studies and the Curtis Opera Theatre. The quartet will perform gems from the lieder and song repertoire—anchored by Brahms’s lilting and pensive Neue Liebeslieder waltzes for four voices and four-hand piano\, followed by operatic arias\, ensemble pieces\, and bittersweet Broadway numbers. \nCurtis on Tour is the Nina von Maltzahn Global Touring Initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music.
