In this podcast, Latin Dance instructors Ricardo Loaiza and Elba Garcia prep you to dance the night away! Once you’ve practiced all three dances, find a local Latin Dance club or bust these moves at the next school dance! Wepa! Ricardo and Elba, along with the dancers from the After School Dance Fund , walk you through the basic steps of the Salsa, one of the most common Latin Dances. The name for the dance was inspired by the food, the dance representing many different styles all being mixed together and re-interpreted on the dance floor. After learning the steps by yourself, grab your partner and dance together. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FdQ87SOfb7Y 0 2017-10-26T18:37:32.000Z Dance Lessons https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/moDuehwe5wk/five-ish-minute-dance-lesson:-bachata-level-1 2017-10-26T18:37:15.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/moDuehwe5wk/maxresdefault.jpg Five(ish) Minute Dance Lesson: Bachata, Level 1 Have you ever wanted to take a Latin Dance class but didn’t have enough time?

That depends on who you ask. The art community will tell you that Ben Ashworth is an accomplished visual artist, designer, builder, and skateboarder. His friends will tell you that he's a lunatic who skates too fast and works too hard. Either way, his work exists at the collision of art, skateboarding, community, and play, and it speaks largely for itself. He's also one of the founding members of the now legendary DC Fight Club, an underground skatepark/gallery/creative space in an abandoned warehouse which became a center for local and national cultural events. He works a 9-to-5 as George Mason University's Sculpture Studio Manager, is currently a MFA candidate in the School of Art at GMU, and is a core member of Workingman Collective, a DC-based artist collective formed in 2005. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kMPxwwQGNcY 0 2017-07-28T19:17:21.000Z Artist Profiles https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/PdPg-9Gj61M/the-suzanne-farrell-ballet-snapshot:-natalia-magnicaballi 2017-08-01T20:48:56.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PdPg-9Gj61M/maxresdefault.jpg The Suzanne Farrell Ballet Snapshot: Natalia Magnicaballi Principal Dancer Natalia Magnicaballi talks about growing up in Argentina, the gift of dancing for Suzanne Farrell, and creating magic for an audience.

Check out behind the scenes footage of Dave Chappelle’s Mega Masterclass, with celebrity guest facilitators Bradley Cooper, Chris Tucker, Common, Erykah Badu, Thundercat, Frédéric Yonnet and more. The Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor recognizes individuals who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th-century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist, and creator of characters, Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective on social injustice and personal folly. https://www.kennedy-center.org/whats-on/marktwain/ Watch the full star-studded Mark Twain Prize tribute to Dave Chappelle on Netflix now: https://www.netflix.com/title/81214015?s=i&trkid=13747225 The Duke Ellington School of the Arts was established in 1974 and remains the sole D.C. public high school to offer a dual curriculum encompassing professional arts training and academic enrichment, in preparation for college and careers in the arts. By naming one of his jazz bands The Washingtonians, Duke Ellington made his home part of his persona. D.C. philanthropist and avid art collector Peggy Cooper Cafritz and the late dancer and choreographer Mike Malone returned the favor, building this school to house the creative soul of the District, and to reflect the rich cultural diversity of the United States. From the beginning, public and private partnerships have supported the school, which in 2000 evolved into the Duke Ellington School of the Arts Project (DESAP), which includes the D.C. Public Schools, the Ellington Fund, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and George Washington University. http://www.ellingtonsch https://www.youtube.com/embed/OZmWPsMsCG8 0 2020-04-03T16:06:28.000Z Digital Stage Originals https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/1sm_ruTMURY/mo-willems:-the-joy-of-creation-|-a-kennedy-center-digital-stage-original 2020-09-04T15:52:09.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1sm_ruTMURY/maxresdefault.jpg Mo Willems: The Joy of Creation | A Kennedy Center Digital Stage Original "Everything that I do comes from a place of wanting to do something ridiculous."—Mo Willems The Kennedy Center presents an intimate portrait of Mo Willems, the Center's first-ever Education Artist-in-Residence.

Kennedy's granddaughter, in this exploration of The REACH -- the Kennedy Center's transformative new expansion. “If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”—John F. Kennedy John F. Kennedy’s vision was to set the artist free. Free to reach beyond hallowed halls and sacred walls into creative open spaces where audiences can reach back and connect with the art and the artist who created it. That’s why we created the REACH. The REACH is a living theater where diverse art forms collide to break down the boundaries between audience and art. It is an immersive learning center, a public incubator, and a set of dynamic, collaborative spaces where art happens so close audiences can reach out and touch it. Envisioned as a complement to, and extension of, the Kennedy Center’s mission, the REACH is an open stage for differing ideas and divergent cultures, delivering on a vision for what a 21st century arts center should be—inclusive, accessible, and interactive. Regular activities within the REACH will include club-style performances, a Learning Lab that welcomes students and visitors to explore hands-on arts experiences, and social events, as well as festivals, outdoor films, art installations, youth programs, and exhibitions. The REACH opens to the public on September 7, 2019, with a two-week-long celebration that features free campus-wide activities, indoor and outdoor performances and events, and extensive opportunities for the public to explore Washington’s newest cultural destination.

"Blue" - The Opera "Blue" brings audiences into the emotional epicenter of an African-American couple — a father (who is a police officer) and a mother — who lose their teenage son when he is killed by a fellow police officer. Music by Jeanine Tesori / Libretto by Tazewell Thompson Co-Production with The Glimmerglass Festival and Lyric Opera of Chicago Tony Award®–winning composer Jeanine Tesori and NAACP Theatre Award–winning librettist Tazewell Thompson’s new opera inspired by contemporary events and Black literature, including Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me and James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time. Jeanine's signature and genre-blending style and vivid flashbacks capture the grief of a family and community navigating the turbulent waters of loss at the hands of police. Exploring race, violence, and reconciliation, Blue places timely issues at the forefront of modern opera and invites audiences to the emotional epicenter of their impact.

For over ten years he’s shared the stage with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras, performing his pop hits and critically acclaimed concerto for Piano and Orchestra. He was recently named as the first-ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center where he will bring pop artists together with the nation's orchestra to collaborate on new music.

Folds continues to perform with symphonies and also cross country solo touring reminiscent of his earliest years, delivering a high energy rock performance using the intimacy of just a piano. An avid photographer, Folds is a member of the distinguished Sony Artisans of Imagery, and earlier this year completed an assignment as a photo editor for National Geographic. And he’s an outspoken advocate for music education and music therapy as a member of Americans For The Arts, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Nashville Symphony. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Wq8fG447Ls4 0 2017-12-18T02:37:00.000Z Digital Stage Originals https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/aiBeFmbopCA/chihuly:-sand-and-fire-|-a-kennedy-center-digital-stage-original 2017-12-29T21:40:53.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aiBeFmbopCA/maxresdefault.jpg Chihuly: Sand and Fire | A Kennedy Center Digital Stage Original In the fall of 2017, the Kennedy Center announced the re-opening of the Terrace Theater, which included a brand new chandelier created by renown artist Dale Chihuly specifically for the space.

Mendive works across media—including paint, wood, and organic matter—to create art that is strongly influenced by the Santería religion, expressing ways in which African heritage has shaped his country’s national identity and culture. Fragmento de Paisaje is a series of dreamscapes where people, animals, plants, and clouds morph into one another, reflecting his vision of the universe as one. Commissioned for the festival, "La Naturaleza, El Espíritu, y El Hombre" (Nature, Spirit, and Man) represents a new artistic direction for Mendive, who has crafted three-dimensional sculptures that may be experienced from both the interior and exterior.

Jessye Norman was trained at Howard University, the Peabody Institute, and the University of Michigan. The New York Times music critic Edward Rothstein described her voice as a "grand mansion of sound," and wrote that "it has enormous dimensions, reaching backward and upward. It opens onto unexpected vistas. It contains sunlit rooms, narrow passageways, cavernous halls." Her operatic début came as Elisabeth in Wagner's Tannhäuser. She went on to sing leading roles with many other companies, including the Metropolitan Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Paris Opera, and the Royal Opera, London. She sang at the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan, at Queen Elizabeth II's 60th birthday celebration in 1986, and performed the La Marseillaise to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution on July 14, 1989. She sang at the 1996 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Atlanta and for the second inauguration of Bill Clinton in 1997. She received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the National Medal of Arts, and was a member of the British Royal Academy of Music. In 1990, UN Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar named her Honorary Ambassador to the United Nations.

The Honors have been compared to a knighthood in Britain, or the French Legion of Honor--the quintessential reward for a lifetime's endeavor. At the same time, the annual addition of new names to the roster of Honors recipients charts the international standard of excellence set by America's artists, as well as the aesthetic inspiration provided by artists of other nations who have achieved prominence on these shores. The annual Honors gala is an evening without categories, without disappointments, and without competition. And the Honors telecast, aired during the week between Christmas and New Year's, is a perennial Emmy nominee. It serves for millions of American arts lovers as the year's crowning event, paying tribute to our nation's preeminent artists with performances by the great stars of today who have followed in their footsteps. The complete list of guest performers is kept secret until the show is in progress, keeping both the Honorees and the nation on the edge of their seats.

Rubenstein. “Earth, Wind & Fire’s hooks and grooves are the foundation of a seminal style that continues to shape our musical landscape; Sally Field has brought us unforgettable characters, both joyous and poignant, for more than five decades; Linda Ronstadt is the defining voice of a generation, spanning genres, languages, and continents; Sesame Street continues to revolutionize how children and adults learn about our world; and Michael Tilson Thomas goes far beyond keeping score: he has shaped American music and musical institutions for the 21st century.” “In this class of honorees, we are witnessing a uniquely American story: one that is representative of so many cultural touchstones and musical moments that make our nation great,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter. “When I look at this class, I see the hopes, aspirations, and achievements not just of these honorees, but of the many generations they have influenced and continue to influence. We’re not just looking back; these honorees are urging us to look forward as well.” The 42nd annual Kennedy Center Honors marks the first time a television program will receive the award. The co-founders of Sesame Street, Joan Ganz Cooney and Dr. Lloyd Morrisett, will accept the Kennedy Center Honors on behalf of the show, Muppets creator Jim Henson, seminal Muppets artists Caroll Spinney and Frank Oz, and the thousands of creatives who have built the program’s 50-year legacy.

As Christmas Eve falls on a battlefield near Belgium, soldiers in French, German, and Scottish trenches begin recalling songs of home, stepping into no-man’s-land for a spontaneous truce. Once sworn enemies, they trade their weapons for merriment and camaraderie—resulting in one miraculous night of peace. Based on the true story of a wartime ceasefire, and as depicted by the 2005 film Joyeux Noël, Silent Night makes its WNO premiere in the centennial month of World War I’s end.

This short documentary produced by Nsoroma Films includes exclusive rehearsal clips and behind-the-scenes footage. Blue tells the tragic story of an African-American police officer whose son is killed by a fellow officer during a protest. Strongly resonating with the Black Lives Matter movement, the piece is equally groundbreaking thanks to its intimate and layered portrayal of African-American family life on the operatic stage. The Music Critics Association of America named Blue the “Best New Opera” of 2020, while the Financial Times praised it as “an exceptionally strong new opera about race in America,” and hailed Tesori’s music as “eclectic, but assuredly so, full of beauty and eloquence.” The piece is sung by an excellent cast of vocalists, including Kenneth Kellogg as The Father, Briana Hunter as The Mother, and Aaron Crouch as The Son, while The Washington National Opera Orchestra is led by rising star conductor Roderick Cox.

Kenneth Kellogg, a D.C. native who plays the Father in Blue, learns lessons from a police officer. The story of the Washington National Opera's "Blue" is an extremely personal one for Kenneth. Having a young son himself, playing the role of a father comes naturally to him. But, to learn to play a police officer, he needed help from retired police officer Frank Riley. Watch as Kenneth reveals why this opera is so personal for him and learns more about the issues at the heart of Blue. "Blue" - The Opera "Blue" brings audiences into the emotional epicenter of an African-American couple — a father (who is a police officer) and a mother — who lose their teenage son when he is killed by a fellow police officer. Music by Jeanine Tesori / Libretto by Tazewell Thompson Co-Production with The Glimmerglass Festival and Lyric Opera of Chicago Tony Award®–winning composer Jeanine Tesori and NAACP Theatre Award–winning librettist Tazewell Thompson’s new opera inspired by contemporary events and Black literature, including Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me and James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time. Jeanine's signature and genre-blending style and vivid flashbacks capture the grief of a family and community navigating the turbulent waters of loss at the hands of police. Exploring race, violence, and reconciliation, Blue places timely issues at the forefront of modern opera and invites audiences to the emotional epicenter of their impact.

Faust Music by Charles Gounod Libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, based on Goethe’s Faust: Part One An Opera in Three Acts In French with Projected English Titles Production originated at Houston Grand Opera Is the freedom of youth worth an eternity in hell? It is to the aging Faust, who makes a pact with Méphistophélès to exchange his soul for Earth’s mortal pleasures. With his youth restored, Faust woos the lovely Marguerite, but his troubles are far from over. Along the seductive path to riches and power, Faust realizes his salvation is tragically bound to others, including those he loves most. WNO takes a look at this French classic with a riveting production featuring a storybook aesthetic and phenomenal cast. From Marguerite's celebrated “Jewel Song” to the beloved soldiers’ chorus, Gounod’s score propels Goethe’s tale of redemption and damnation into a dizzying dance with the devil that will be impossible to forget.

Special thanks to Martin Connor. More of his hip hop analysis can be found here: http://www.rapanalysis.com/ A crisp and clear vocal performance is a vital component of all genres of popular music. So when Kanye West recorded his debut single, "Through the Wire," with his jaw completely wired shut after a car accident, he was taking a huge risk. When you listen to "Through the Wire," you immediately hear that Kanye "chipmunk soul" in his pitched-up sample of Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire." But you also hear Kanye riff: Yo, Gee, they can’t stop me from rapping, can they? Can they, Hop? His voice is muffled and lispy. It's not clear at all. But that vocal performance illustrates something unique about his work as a producer and artist: His greatest instrument has always been the human voice.

Not the whole song, but a fragment of it that plays and replays until you find yourself unloading the vegetables in time to the beat? Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis explores earworms — a cognitive phenomenon that plagues over 90% of people at least once a week.

He's a Radiohead fan who also happens to be an incredibly talented musician and music teacher. In December 2016 he uploaded a 38 minute video to YouTube about a Radiohead song that I deeply love, "Videotape." He had been thinking about the music theory behind this seemingly simple song for the better part of a decade. The reason? “Videotape”, a slow rhythmically monotonous song, is actually syncopated. I’m joined also by Erin Barra, a professor at Berklee College of Music, who helped Warren and I explain this musical illusion. Warren’s video can be found right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvKhtFXPswk Some songs don't just stick in your head, they change the music world forever.

PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you. To support your local station, go to: http://to.pbs.org/DonateOKAY ↓ More info and sources below ↓ Why does music give us all the feels? Click here to SUBSCRIBE, it's FREE! -- http://bit.ly/iotbs_sub Why does music make us feel happy or sad? Or angry or romantic? How can simple sound waves cause so much emotion? I went from my comfy chair to the streets of Austin to investigate how it might be written into our neuroscience and evolution. Modern neuroscience says our brains may be wired to pick certain emotions out of music because they remind us of how people move! Humans are the only species we know that creates and communicate using music, but it's still unclear how or why we do that, brain-wise. Is it just a lucky side effect of evolution, like Steven Pinker says? Or is it a deeper part of our evolutionary history, as people like Mark Changizi and Daniel Levitin argue? New evolutionary science says that we may read emotion in music because it relates to how we sense emotion in people's movements. We'll take a trip from Austin to Dartmouth to Cambodia to hear why music makes us feel so many feels. The connections between movement and music go far beyond dance moves!

Support your local PBS Member Station here: https://to.pbs.org/donateidea Be it Elliott Smith or Queen, classical or dub step, there's usually a clear understanding that some songs are sad, and some songs are happy. But what is it about the music that makes us feel these feelings we're feeling? You might think it has something to do with the notes or how our brain's natural response to these sounds, but you're wrong. Or at the very least incomplete in your thinking. We've just been culturally trained to respond to music in certain ways because if you ignore the lyrics, music itself doesn't actually contain any emotion at all. Watch the episode to find out more!

Renée Fleming partnered with the Kennedy Center and National Institutes of Health (NIH) to find out what goes on inside the brain of a world class singer. In 2017, the Kennedy Center, the National Institutes of Health, and renowned soprano and Kennedy Center Artistic Advisor at Large Renée Fleming launched a new partnership designed to explore the connections between music, health, and wellness. The collaboration, spearheaded by Fleming, builds upon the performances that the National Symphony Orchestra has given at the NIH Clinical Center over the past several years, broadening the scope and bringing together the diverse artistic resources of the Kennedy Center with the scientific, clinical, and research expertise of the NIH. Says Renée Fleming: “A tremendous wealth of knowledge exists between the nation’s largest performing arts center and our largest health research institute. I hoped we could share and amplify the exciting work being done where science and music intersect, by bringing these two great institutions together for this initiative. There are ramifications here for a host of health topics: childhood development, autism, pain management, Alzheimer’s, PTSD—the list goes on and on, because music’s impact on the brain can be so powerful.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/7nS4u84ppf4 0 2018-01-13T16:32:52.000Z Explainers https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/qqbWEonptVo/behind-the-curtain:-war-horse---joey-the-horse 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qqbWEonptVo/maxresdefault.jpg Behind the Curtain: War Horse - Joey the Horse A member of Handspring Puppet Company demonstrates the abilities of Joey the horse. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qqbWEonptVo 0 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z Behind the Curtain https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/XdU36zNLqhQ/behind-the-curtain:-little-dancer-photoshoot-with-tiler-peck 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XdU36zNLqhQ/maxresdefault.jpg Behind the Curtain: Little Dancer Photoshoot with Tiler Peck New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler Peck stars as Young Marie in the Kennedy Center's world premiere musical "Little Dancer."

Young Orhan lives in a world where words are both very precious and very dangerous. Only 1000 of them can exist: new ones are forbidden, and anything newly invented takes the place of an existing word, which is then illegal to say. Those who disobey the rules are punished in the strongest way possible. They lose their right to speak and to be spoken of; they become only "…"--a condition that causes them to slowly fade away. When Orhan accidentally takes a pen (a mighty weapon indeed!) from school, he sets in motion an adventure to reclaim lost words. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5k8I7Xq0gvs 0 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z Behind the Curtain https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/ES7tjJR3I_g/olivério:-a-brazilian-twist---behind-the-curtain 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ES7tjJR3I_g/maxresdefault.jpg OLIVÉRio: A Brazilian Twist - Behind the Curtain Go Behind the Curtain with the writer and composer of the world premiere musical OLIVÉRio, the story of a spunky orphan girl on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. A song-filled, flip-flopped, Rio-inspired take on the classic Dickens novel! OLIVÉRio: A Brazilian Twist A world premiere Kennedy Center commission Inspired by Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens Book and lyrics by Karen Zacarías Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma Directed by Juliette Carrillo Cast features Felicia Curry as "Olivério" – and Rayanne Gonzales, James Konicek, Donna Migliaccio, Sasha Olinick, Erika Rose and Arturo Soria Live Brazilian band features Bruno Lucini, percussion, Leonardo Lucini, bass, Richard Miller, guitar It's New Year's Eve in Rio de Janeiro! Everyone in the city is making their annual pilgrimage to the beach, in hopes that the goddess of the sea will grant them their wishes. Esperanza Olivério, a young girl from the Brazilian desert, has found herself upon the shore not asking, but thanking, and even the goddess is struck by her innocence. But con man Falcao has other plans for "Oli," like using her genuine charm to steal from wealthy strangers. Supported by two new friends - Falcao's spunky apprentice Zé Esquiva and wash maid Nanci - might Oli's big dreams help them escape a life on the streets? Or will the ways of the city and its poor favela neighborhoods lead to even more hardship ahead? Inspired by Oliver Twist, this musical mixes fantasy, shifting identities, and a healthy helping of humor to explore the cultural melting pot of modern-day Rio. Original songs and music bring to life samba, capoeira, Carnaval, and other Brazilian traditions, while Oli's inspiring story proves there's more to family than you might think - and it's never too late to ask for just "a little more" hope in the world. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ES7tjJR3I_g 0 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z Behind the Curtain https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/RHwTbgvVnpM/behind-the-curtain:-lynn-ahrens-and-stephen-flaherty-on-little-dancer 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RHwTbgvVnpM/maxresdefault.jpg Behind the Curtain: Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty on Little Dancer Part fact, part fiction, and set in the harsh backstage world of the Paris Opera Ballet, this world premiere Kennedy Center musical is inspired by the story of Marie van Goethem, a young ballerina who posed for Edgar Degas and became, inadvertently, the most famous dancer in the world.

When Budapest's most beautiful and beloved young actress decides to marry, she of course chooses Budapest's most handsome and talented young actor. When she falls out of love a few months after the wedding, and the actor learns she is fantasizing about a courtier to the Emperor--a guardsman--the actor launches a mad plan to impersonate that very guardsman and seduce his own wife. The Guardsman was performed for decades in a drastic adaptation tailored to the light comedy skills of Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt. Molnár was unhappy to see the passionate heart of his play cut out, but like many a writer before and since, he kept quiet and cashed the royalty checks. Playwright Richard Nelson recently re-discovered Molnár's original version, and has restored the young wife's real despair at being trapped, and her husband's insane jealousy of the other man, who is of course the actor himself. The funny play about the bad marriage is a classic setup, the greatest modern example being Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, while disguised lovers animate comic romps from Così fan tutte to Some Like It Hot. With The Guardsman, Molnár, who is best known for La Ronde and Liliom (the source for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel), created a comedy that ranks among the best of the genre. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2smequVNzKk 0 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z Behind the Curtain https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/XU_rawsRWys/behind-the-curtain:-gregory-mosher-on-playwright-ferenc-molnár 2017-07-28T18:48:20.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XU_rawsRWys/maxresdefault.jpg Behind the Curtain: Gregory Mosher on playwright Ferenc Molnár Director Gregory Mosher discusses playwright Ferenc Molnár, When Budapest's most beautiful and beloved young actress decides to marry, she of course chooses Budapest's most handsome and talented young actor.

Kennedy (1962) | The Kennedy Center Ballerina Maria Tallchief performs for Presidents John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower during "An American Pageant of the Arts," on November 29, 1962. The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the National Cultural Center, begun under Eisenhower's administration and encouraged under Kennedy's. Two months after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, Congress passed and President Johnson signed into law legislation renaming the National Cultural Center as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy.

She was the first Native American to hold the rank, and is said to have revolutionized ballet. When George Balanchine co-founded what would become the New York City Ballet in 1946, Tallchief became the company's first star. The combination of Balanchine's difficult choreography and Tallchief's passionate dancing changed the world of dance. She served as director of ballet for the Lyric Opera of Chicago for most of the 1970s and debuted the Chicago City Ballet in 1981. Tallchief was honored by the people of Oklahoma with multiple statues and an honorific day. She was inducted in the National Women's Hall of Fame and received a National Medal of Arts. In 1996, Tallchief received a Kennedy Center Honor for lifetime achievements.

If that sounds like a slogan, it's truth in advertising." -The New York Times Using African-American spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs and holy blues, Alvin Ailey's Revelations fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul. More than just a popular dance work, it has become a cultural treasure, beloved by generations of fans. Seeing Revelations for the first time or the hundredth can be a transcendent experience, with audiences cheering, singing along and dancing in their seats from the opening notes of the plaintive "I Been 'Buked" to the rousing "Wade in the Water" and the triumphant finale, "Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham." Ailey said that one of America's richest treasures was the African-American cultural heritage-"sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful." This enduring classic is a tribute to that tradition, born out of the choreographer's "blood memories" of his childhood in rural Texas and the Baptist Church. But since its premiere in 1960, the ballet has been performed continuously around the globe, transcending barriers of faith and nationality, and appealing to universal emotions, making it the most widely-seen modern dance work in the world. ________ Repertory programs to include Revelations Truly great dance can be a window into the heart and soul, revealing our deepest selves. Let Ailey take you on a path of discovery. We'll show you ourselves through our movement and help you see yourself in our stories.

Sometimes debilitatingly negative, and then extraordinarily positive and powerful. That’s where the movement came from. And I wanted to capture Sara’s state of being against Zoe's song of hope." Artist Statement: Sara Mearns "We filmed this at the height of the pandemic in New York City, every morning we would wake up to the numbers rising. At that point, I felt lost & questioning what my role or contribution was to society, I felt helpless. I felt my being was crying out, this song and the choreography allowed me to express the pain I was in." Artist Statement: Zoe Sarnak "Writing music is a way for me to take an ache that I feel and turn it into some piece of hope. Like so many artists, I find myself trying to make meaning of this moment of confusion, pain, and loss. I hope that this song can provide the kind of strength and solace to viewers that working with Margo, Josh, and Sara has provided to me."

Iconic ballerina Patricia McBride was honored alongside Al Green, Tom Hanks, Lily Tomlin and Sting. Her three-decade long dancing career brought to life countless works by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, with a list of partners that included Edward Villella, Arthur Mitchell, Jacques d’Amboise and Mikhail Baryshnikov. She was New York City Ballet's youngest principal dancer, and was the original dancer of this "Fascinatin' Rhythm" solo from 'Who Cares?', which Balanchine created just for her.

First performed as separate WNO productions before being presented as a full cycle in San Francisco, The Ring in its entirety now returns to the nation’s capital, to be staged in three complete cycles across three weeks. Conceived and directed by Artistic Director Francesca Zambello and conducted by Music Director Philippe Auguin, the production brings together a world-class cast including British soprano Catherine Foster (Brünnhilde, Cycles I & II), Swedish soprano Nina Stemme (Brünnhilde, Cycle III), American tenor Daniel Brenna (Siegfried), American bass-baritone Alan Held (Wotan/The Wanderer), and many other top artists, including several reprising their roles from the original Washington productions. Additional events, ranging from expert-led lectures and engaging symposia to convenient dining options, give audiences even more ways to explore and celebrate The Ring’s WNO homecoming. Spectacularly evoking the mythology of America, Francesca Zambello’s acclaimed production draws provocative parallels between Wagner’s fantastical drama and civilization’s corruption of nature. The struggle for the possession of a powerful ring drives this extraordinary series of operas, in which the stakes—control of the entire world—could not be higher. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Major support for WNO and the Ring is provided by Jacqueline Badger Mars.

Jeanine Tesori's "The Lion, the Unicorn, and Me" World Premiere Holiday Family Opera Music by Jeanine Tesori Libretto by J.D. "Sandy" McClatchy Based upon the book by Jeanette Winterson Most everyone knows the story of the Nativity, but probably not from the donkey's point of view! As the world's first Christmas nears, an angel is conducting an important interview: who among all the animals can lead Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem? Will it be Lion, fearsome ruler of the jungle? Or might it be Unicorn, graceful steed to lovely maidens? It's certainly not Donkey, whose only humble gift is a small but sturdy back. But with the birth of a very special king on the horizon, and one bright star blazing the way to a crowded inn, Donkey soon discovers that miracles can happen anywhere--even right in front of his nose. British author Jeanette Winterson's award-winning children's book comes to vibrant life in a world premiere production by WNO Artistic Director Francesca Zambello, conducted by Kimberly Grigsby with the WNO Orchestra, and starring Domingo-Cafritz Young Artists and other rising stars. Following last holiday season's sold-out engagement of Hansel and Gretel, be sure to see this original, heartwarming family opera, certain to become an instant classic. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5Rm0LZ7Us40 0 2017-08-01T21:27:52.000Z Making of Opera https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/iC2NBTw46Vs/jessica-lang-dance-and-washington-national-opera-live-in-rehearsal 2017-10-26T18:28:21.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iC2NBTw46Vs/maxresdefault.jpg Jessica Lang Dance and Washington National Opera LIVE in Rehearsal Jessica Lang Dance and the Washington National Opera rehearse for the WNO's production of Aida at The Kennedy Center.

Lord’s radio play transforms into a heartening world premiere musical following Artemis—a young girl who’s determined to fight to save her dying, flooded town with the help of Aunt Maggie… and a talking heron! The Kennedy Center Family Theater Mar. 2 - 17, 2024 --- World Premiere Kennedy Center Commission Script and Lyrics by Tim J. Lord Music and Lyrics by Avi Amon Directed by Cara Phipps Movement Directed by Ronya-Lee Anderson Music Directed by Angie Benson Be brave and create a world that is better for everyone. Six months ago, a massive flood wiped away most of Arcady. Unable to contact her family and trapped in the library, a young girl named Artemis has built the place into her sanctuary. Trying to find a way back to her Aunt Maggie’s house, Artemis soon learns of a new danger—a committee determined to claim the town for themselves. Follow Artemis, Aunt Maggie, and even a talking heron in the fight to save Arcady. Crafted with complexity and rich emotions, Artemis’ character illustrates that when she brings her whole self—disability, determination, imagination, and problem solving—to a challenge, she is strong. Through her journey, she discovers power and purpose in rebuilding her town to be better for everyone. First commissioned and released by the Kennedy Center as a radio play as part of WTYA Presents in 2021, Tim J. Lord’s play transforms into a heartening world premiere musical, with composer and co-lyricist Avi Amon, director Cara Phipps, movement director Ronya-Lee Anderson, and music director Angie Benson.

Bassist Paul DeNola and violinist Heather LeDoux Green introduce young audiences to some of the greatest music ever written. You’ll never hear a word out of them during the concert, but with instruments in hand and a trunk full of gags, this “silent” comedic tag-team presents a hilarious program of music and mayhem. For more information and education content around this show, please visit https://www.kennedy-center.org/thestringthing. About the Show: Meet Heather and Paul. They are friends who like to have fun and tease each other. They also happen to love playing music together on their string instruments. Heather plays the violin and Paul plays the double bass (we’ll call it the bass for short). Watch how they have a great time in ways that go with the music. During the show, Heather and Paul never say a word. They communicate using costume pieces (like hats and goofy glasses) and objects (like signs). They also use mime—silently communicating through different looks on their faces and body movements. The only sound you’ll hear is amazing music, and lots of it. During the performance, listen for the song “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” A famous composer (a person who writes music) named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (MO-tzart) wrote changes called variations for the main melody, or theme. At the end of the performance, you’ll hear music you might have heard before because it’s been used in movies, cartoons, and TV shows. The music is called the William Tell Overture, and it helps tell the story of a hero rallying his army against an enemy. Can you imagine the troops charging?

A world premiere Kennedy Center and VSA commission based on the National Book Award–winning novel by Kathryn Erskine - Mockingbird. Adapted by Julie Jensen Directed by Tracy Callahan Featuring Aaron Bliden, Rex Daugherty, Maboud Ebrahimzadeh, Gabriela Fernandez-Coffey, Susan Lynskey, Thony Mena, Tia Shearer, Dylan Silver, and Kathryn Tkel "Mockingbird offers a finely nuanced look at grief, love, and autism with a hearty dose of laughter mixed with the tears... This Mockingbird not only has heart, it positively soars."--DC Metro Theater Arts Caitlin's world has always been black and white. As an 11-year-old on the autism spectrum, she used to rely on her older brother to help make sense of things beyond dictionaries, schedules, and the facial expressions chart at school. But now that he's gone, she's all on her own. With the support of her advisor, father, and a new reading buddy, Caitlin begins to understand how to get close to people again, embrace the "messiness" of emotions, and use her burgeoning artistic talents to move on. Hailed as "extraordinary… [a] moving and insightful masterpiece" by Publishers Weekly, Kathryn Erskine's 2010 National Book Award–winning young adult novel has been adapted for the stage by Julie Jensen, a recipient of the Kennedy Center Award for New American Plays. Directed by Tracy Callahan, this moving, vibrant, and surprisingly humorous world premiere play shows how the perseverance of one girl can change a community--and how black and white can always be complemented by a kaleidoscope of colors. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qb25iadFJHk 0 2017-12-07T17:18:44.000Z Young Audiences https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/LTg8BGJQl30/behind-the-curtain:-patrick-mcdonnell-on-the-gift-of-nothing 2017-12-07T17:18:44.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LTg8BGJQl30/maxresdefault.jpg Behind the Curtain: Patrick McDonnell on The Gift of Nothing Go behind the curtain of the Kennedy Center's production of The Gift of Nothing with author and cartoonist Patrick McDonnell, creator of MUTTS. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LTg8BGJQl30 0 2017-12-07T17:18:44.000Z Young Audiences https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/sCt_nhgjJ-4/animals-animals-from-me...jane---a-play-about-jane-goodall---at-the-kennedy-center 2017-12-07T17:18:44.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sCt_nhgjJ-4/maxresdefault.jpg "Animals, Animals" from Me...Jane - A Play About Jane Goodall - at the Kennedy Center!

OLIVÉRio: A Brazilian Twist A world premiere Kennedy Center commission Inspired by Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens Book and lyrics by Karen Zacarías Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma Directed by Juliette Carrillo Cast features Felicia Curry as "Olivério" – and Rayanne Gonzales, James Konicek, Donna Migliaccio, Sasha Olinick, Erika Rose and Arturo Soria Live Brazilian band features Bruno Lucini, percussion, Leonardo Lucini, bass, Richard Miller, guitar It's New Year's Eve in Rio de Janeiro! Everyone in the city is making their annual pilgrimage to the beach, in hopes that the goddess of the sea will grant them their wishes. Esperanza Olivério, a young girl from the Brazilian desert, has found herself upon the shore not asking, but thanking, and even the goddess is struck by her innocence. But con man Falcao has other plans for "Oli," like using her genuine charm to steal from wealthy strangers. Supported by two new friends - Falcao's spunky apprentice Zé Esquiva and wash maid Nanci - might Oli's big dreams help them escape a life on the streets? Or will the ways of the city and its poor favela neighborhoods lead to even more hardship ahead? Inspired by Oliver Twist, this musical mixes fantasy, shifting identities, and a healthy helping of humor to explore the cultural melting pot of modern-day Rio. Original songs and music bring to life samba, capoeira, Carnaval, and other Brazilian traditions, while Oli's inspiring story proves there's more to family than you might think - and it's never too late to ask for just "a little more" hope in the world. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ES7tjJR3I_g 0 2017-12-07T17:18:44.000Z Young Audiences https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/5k8I7Xq0gvs/behind-the-curtain:-where-words-once-were---summer-workshop 2017-12-07T17:18:44.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5k8I7Xq0gvs/maxresdefault.jpg Behind the Curtain: "Where Words Once Were" - Summer Workshop Go behind the curtain of this world premiere commission from playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer. Young Orhan lives in a world where words are both very precious and very dangerous. Only 1000 of them can exist: new ones are forbidden, and anything newly invented takes the place of an existing word, which is then illegal to say. Those who disobey the rules are punished in the strongest way possible. They lose their right to speak and to be spoken of; they become only "…"--a condition that causes them to slowly fade away. When Orhan accidentally takes a pen (a mighty weapon indeed!) from school, he sets in motion an adventure to reclaim lost words. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5k8I7Xq0gvs 0 2017-12-07T17:18:44.000Z Young Audiences https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/lxmErNmgnns/olivério:-a-brazilian-twist---a-little-bit-more-excerpt 2017-12-07T17:18:44.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lxmErNmgnns/maxresdefault.jpg OLIVÉRio: A Brazilian Twist - "A Little Bit More" (excerpt) A song-filled, flip-flopped, Rio-inspired take on the classic Dickens novel!

A song-filled, flip-flopped, Rio-inspired take on the classic Dickens novel! OLIVÉRio: A Brazilian Twist A world premiere Kennedy Center commission Inspired by Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens Book and lyrics by Karen Zacarías Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma Directed by Juliette Carrillo Cast features Felicia Curry as "Olivério" – and Rayanne Gonzales, James Konicek, Donna Migliaccio, Sasha Olinick, Erika Rose and Arturo Soria Live Brazilian band features Bruno Lucini, percussion, Leonardo Lucini, bass, Richard Miller, guitar It's New Year's Eve in Rio de Janeiro! Everyone in the city is making their annual pilgrimage to the beach, in hopes that the goddess of the sea will grant them their wishes. Esperanza Olivério, a young girl from the Brazilian desert, has found herself upon the shore not asking, but thanking, and even the goddess is struck by her innocence. But con man Falcao has other plans for "Oli," like using her genuine charm to steal from wealthy strangers. Supported by two new friends - Falcao's spunky apprentice Zé Esquiva and wash maid Nanci - might Oli's big dreams help them escape a life on the streets? Or will the ways of the city and its poor favela neighborhoods lead to even more hardship ahead? Inspired by Oliver Twist, this new musical mixes fantasy, shifting identities, and a healthy helping of humor to explore the cultural melting pot of modern-day Rio. Original songs and music bring to life samba, capoeira, Carnaval, and other Brazilian traditions, while Oli's inspiring story proves there's more to family than you might think - and it's never too late to ask for just "a little more" hope in the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most enjoyed by age 8 and up. NOTE: All children must have a ticket, regardless of age. Performance Timing: 70 minutes, with no intermission. https://www.youtube.com/embed/suXiO6Udd9I 0 2017-07-31T19:51:23.000Z Young Audiences https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/iBdlL41OFvg/universoul-circus---millennium-stage-june-25-2017 2017-07-31T19:43:10.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iBdlL41OFvg/maxresdefault.jpg UniverSoul Circus - Millennium Stage (June 25, 2017) UniverSoul Circus is a combination of circus arts, theater, music, and audience interaction that embraces and celebrates urban pop culture from around the world.

Part of Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center. December 16, 2017. Watch the full performance here: https://youtu.be/QWg8JwEF3SY The Sweet Heaven Kings is the premier brass band at the United House of Prayer in the historic Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The gospel brass band tradition is unique to this denomination. It was introduced into services by charismatic church founder Bishop Charles M. "Sweet Daddy" Grace. Grace established his first congregation in 1919 in West Wareham, Massachusetts, with an emphasis on the direct, physical experience of the Spirit. From the 1920s onward, as the church spread rapidly throughout the South, Grace began using brass instruments as the centerpiece of his all-day, all-night services. By the 1960s, trombones became the instrument of choice for House of Prayer bands, and groups were expanded to create a fuller, more multi-layered sound in the vein of large gospel choirs. The Kings of Harmony was formed in Washington, D.C., during this period and Norvus Miller emerged as the group's leader. Norvus "Butch Littlejohn" Miller Sr., who died May 1, 1994, described this music as "inspirational gospel whose purpose is to edify and glorify the Lord." Sweet Heaven Kings is comprised of sixteen musicians, including two of Miller's sons, one of whom now leads the band. The brothers play first and second lead trombones. Instruments include three lead trombones (with two playing at a time), two sets of "run" horns (two trombones playing harmony parts), background trombones that simulate the body of the choir, sousaphone, baritone horn, and a percussion section with bass drum, snare drum, and cymbals. The instrumental "voices" are arranged in three- and four-part harmonies with the lead horns playing on top of the run horns. The music builds slowly through songs to a sustained crescendo known as "th https://www.youtube.com/embed/JAQZ5RCOWqI 0 2018-03-25T15:57:09.000Z Jazz https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/BQbfEAeMMww/kandace-springs---novocaine-heart-|-live-at-the-kennedy-center 2018-02-19T01:49:42.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BQbfEAeMMww/maxresdefault.jpg Kandace Springs - "Novocaine Heart" | LIVE at The Kennedy Center Kandace Springs performs "Novocaine Heart" LIVE at The Kennedy Center.

ABOUT THE MARK TWAIN PRIZE The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of memorable characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled and outraged many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." The inaugural Mark Twain Prize was presented to Richard Pryor during the first annual Kennedy Center Celebration of American Humor, October 20, 1998. The event was created by the John F.

By naming one of his jazz bands The Washingtonians, Duke Ellington made his home part of his persona. D.C. philanthropist and avid art collector Peggy Cooper Cafritz and the late dancer and choreographer Mike Malone returned the favor, building this school to house the creative soul of the District, and to reflect the rich cultural diversity of the United States. From the beginning, public and private partnerships have supported the school, which in 2000 evolved into the Duke Ellington School of the Arts Project (DESAP), which includes the D.C. Public Schools, the Ellington Fund, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and George Washington University. http://www.ellingtonsch https://www.youtube.com/embed/OZmWPsMsCG8 0 2020-04-03T16:06:29.000Z Comedy https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/zqA7x5MkJBQ/dave-chappelle:-i-don-t-talk-about-it-often...-|-dc-improv-|-watch-on-netflix 2020-05-01T19:52:54.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zqA7x5MkJBQ/maxresdefault.jpg Dave Chappelle: "I don't talk about it often..." | @ DC Improv | Watch on Netflix Watch the full show on Netflix: https://bit.ly/39AtMTD Dave Chappelle is an internationally recognized stand-up comedian and actor whose trademark wit and sharp, irreverent social commentary explores race, popular culture, sex, drugs, politics, and fame.

A song-filled, flip-flopped, Rio-inspired take on the classic Dickens novel! OLIVÉRio: A Brazilian Twist A world premiere Kennedy Center commission Inspired by Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens Book and lyrics by Karen Zacarías Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma Directed by Juliette Carrillo Cast features Felicia Curry as "Olivério" – and Rayanne Gonzales, James Konicek, Donna Migliaccio, Sasha Olinick, Erika Rose and Arturo Soria Live Brazilian band features Bruno Lucini, percussion, Leonardo Lucini, bass, Richard Miller, guitar It's New Year's Eve in Rio de Janeiro! Everyone in the city is making their annual pilgrimage to the beach, in hopes that the goddess of the sea will grant them their wishes. Esperanza Olivério, a young girl from the Brazilian desert, has found herself upon the shore not asking, but thanking, and even the goddess is struck by her innocence. But con man Falcao has other plans for "Oli," like using her genuine charm to steal from wealthy strangers. Supported by two new friends - Falcao's spunky apprentice Zé Esquiva and wash maid Nanci - might Oli's big dreams help them escape a life on the streets? Or will the ways of the city and its poor favela neighborhoods lead to even more hardship ahead? Inspired by Oliver Twist, this new musical mixes fantasy, shifting identities, and a healthy helping of humor to explore the cultural melting pot of modern-day Rio. Original songs and music bring to life samba, capoeira, Carnaval, and other Brazilian traditions, while Oli's inspiring story proves there's more to family than you might think - and it's never too late to ask for just "a little more" hope in the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most enjoyed by age 8 and up. NOTE: All children must have a ticket, regardless of age.

In the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, November 9, 2017. Gianandrea Noseda conducts. One of Beethoven's most celebrated works, the Eroica symphony is a large-scale composition that broke boundaries in symphonic form, length, harmony, emotional and cultural content. It is widely considered a landmark in the transition between the Classical and the Romantic era. It is also often considered to be the first Romantic symphony. Gianandrea Noseda is one of the world’s most sought-after conductors, equally recognized for his artistry in both the concert hall and opera house. He was named the National Symphony Orchestra’s seventh music director in January 2016.

Czech composer Bed˘rich Smetana (BED-rick SMET–ah-na) was inspired to write The Moldau by nature, memories of his personal adventures, and a deep love for his country. The work is named after an actual river that runs from a mountainside, through the Czech countryside, and into the city of Prague. In his music, Smetana tells the story of the river’s journey as it passes people and events happening along its banks. Smetana even composes music to describe white water rapids! Smetana visited the Moldau River several times in his life. He wove those personal memories and impressions into a lush melody that serves as a river theme. You will notice that the river theme starts gently but then its melody swells as the river widens. You will also notice that Smetana changes the music to depict different scenes on the riverbanks. Listen for Smetana’s use of French horns and trumpets sounding like hunters chasing a deer through the forest. Listen for the violins performing a polka, (a lively couple dance) at a wedding party. And listen for the flutes as Smetana imagines mermaids in the moonlight. Part of Young People's Concert: Inspiration! Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni, May 24, 2016.

In a galaxy far, far away, a writer named George Lucas created a story about an epic space battle between a bunch of heroes and villains. This was back in 1977, when Lucas cooked up a colorful cast of characters including a dark warrior, a princess, a funny rebel, and a humble farm boy who goes on to galactic greatness. Even after seven films, the story still continues the themes of hope and inspiration, courage to fight off the bad guys, and working together for the good of all humankind. Lucas’s lightsabers light the way with music that has become almost as famous as the films. American composer John Williams was asked to compose the music for Lucas’s first film, and many of the series since. Williams came up with the idea to link each of the story’s main characters with a particular theme, or motif. These themes are instantly recognizable by audiences and offer up clues on how to think or feel about a character. And by choosing “heroic-sounding” instruments like trumpets to rally the troops and string instruments to tug at our hearts, Williams tells us when to cheer, when to fear, and when to watch closely and listen well. Listening to the music, you’ll be inspired to soar into battle for what is right and just. And may the force be with you…always! Part of "Reach for the Moon: John F.

Conducted by Michael Butterman. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi was inspired by nature and his own poetry to write a series of violin concertos to express the four seasons. In the “Presto” (meaning super-fast) section of “Summer,” Vivaldi uses music to tell the story of a shepherd and his flock caught in a sudden The summer rainstorm. Sometimes composers choose to write music that features one instrument over all others. Such a composition is called a concerto, a work that features the talent and skill of a solo performer. The soloist at this concert is a member of the NSO. In a concerto, composers write the soloist’s part to be especially flashy and technically difficult to perform so that the soloist can really show-off his or her skills.

The story is told of how Elgar, returning home from giving violin lessons, sat down at the piano and, to unwind, began improvising. Alice commented favourably on the tune that emerged and Elgar responded by suggesting how certain of their friends might play it. Out of that spontaneous exchange grew the idea of the Enigma Variations, the work that finally secured Elgar's reputation as a composer of national, even international, standing. It remains one of the most popular works in the classical repertoire. - Third Variation - R.B.T. Richard Baxter Townshend, a friend whose caricature of an old man in an amateur theatre production is captured in the variation. - Sixth Variation - Ysobel Isabel Fitton, an amateur viola player from a musical family living in Malvern. - Eleventh Variation - G.R.S. George Sinclair, organist at Hereford Cathedral, although the variation allegedly portrays Sinclair's bulldog Dan paddling in the River Wye after falling in.

Despite its nickname, Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony is widely considered a complete artistic statement. Composed in 1822, it comprises only two movements—yet in that brief span, Schubert conveys a world of human experience: longing, joy, sorrow, and transcendence. With its lyrical first movement, this symphony stands as one of the great works of the Romantic era.

Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony is not unfinished at all. Its brilliance lies in the composer’s deliberate decision to leave the masterpiece as is, and no music lover would have it any other way. With compassion for man’s mortality, Schubert packs a lifetime of hope, suffering, and joy into just two perfect movements.

Bassist Paul DeNola and violinist Heather LeDoux Green introduce young audiences to some of the greatest music ever written. You’ll never hear a word out of them during the concert, but with instruments in hand and a trunk full of gags, this “silent” comedic tag-team presents a hilarious program of music and mayhem. For more information and education content around this show, please visit https://www.kennedy-center.org/thestringthing. About the Show: Meet Heather and Paul. They are friends who like to have fun and tease each other. They also happen to love playing music together on their string instruments. Heather plays the violin and Paul plays the double bass (we’ll call it the bass for short). Watch how they have a great time in ways that go with the music. During the show, Heather and Paul never say a word. They communicate using costume pieces (like hats and goofy glasses) and objects (like signs). They also use mime—silently communicating through different looks on their faces and body movements. The only sound you’ll hear is amazing music, and lots of it. During the performance, listen for the song “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” A famous composer (a person who writes music) named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (MO-tzart) wrote changes called variations for the main melody, or theme. At the end of the performance, you’ll hear music you might have heard before because it’s been used in movies, cartoons, and TV shows. The music is called the William Tell Overture, and it helps tell the story of a hero rallying his army against an enemy. Can you imagine the troops charging?

Kennedy (1962) | The Kennedy Center Ballerina Maria Tallchief performs for Presidents John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower during "An American Pageant of the Arts," on November 29, 1962. The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the National Cultural Center, begun under Eisenhower's administration and encouraged under Kennedy's. Two months after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, Congress passed and President Johnson signed into law legislation renaming the National Cultural Center as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy.

She was the first Native American to hold the rank, and is said to have revolutionized ballet. When George Balanchine co-founded what would become the New York City Ballet in 1946, Tallchief became the company's first star. The combination of Balanchine's difficult choreography and Tallchief's passionate dancing changed the world of dance. She served as director of ballet for the Lyric Opera of Chicago for most of the 1970s and debuted the Chicago City Ballet in 1981. Tallchief was honored by the people of Oklahoma with multiple statues and an honorific day. She was inducted in the National Women's Hall of Fame and received a National Medal of Arts. In 1996, Tallchief received a Kennedy Center Honor for lifetime achievements.

If that sounds like a slogan, it's truth in advertising." -The New York Times Using African-American spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs and holy blues, Alvin Ailey's Revelations fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul. More than just a popular dance work, it has become a cultural treasure, beloved by generations of fans. Seeing Revelations for the first time or the hundredth can be a transcendent experience, with audiences cheering, singing along and dancing in their seats from the opening notes of the plaintive "I Been 'Buked" to the rousing "Wade in the Water" and the triumphant finale, "Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham." Ailey said that one of America's richest treasures was the African-American cultural heritage-"sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful." This enduring classic is a tribute to that tradition, born out of the choreographer's "blood memories" of his childhood in rural Texas and the Baptist Church. But since its premiere in 1960, the ballet has been performed continuously around the globe, transcending barriers of faith and nationality, and appealing to universal emotions, making it the most widely-seen modern dance work in the world. ________ Repertory programs to include Revelations Truly great dance can be a window into the heart and soul, revealing our deepest selves.

Occurring every few years, multiple American companies are invited to participate in a week-long celebration featuring performances from each company. In 2019, Ballet Across America was put together with the inspiration of women’s leadership in ballet and dance. To mark the celebration, the Center commissioned choreographer Pam Tanowitz to create a world premiere work for the week’s two participating companies, Dance Theatre of Harlem and Miami City Ballet; both are companies led by visionary women – Virginia Johnson at DTH and Lourdes Lopez in Miami. Tanowitz set the work on two dancers from each company, with a pianist on stage playing a solo work by the composer Caroline Shaw. The piece had its world premiere during Ballet Across America on May 31, 2019. This video captures the premiere performance.

Using African-American traditional spirituals, this suite fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul. Now more than ever, the world needs the power of dance to bring people together and connect us all by our common humanity.

The Ailey company has typically performed it with either an all-female or all-male cast; for its return to the Ailey repertory during the 2017-18 season, it will be performed by female dancers. Set to an inventive score which incorporates drumming by Junior "Gabu" Wedderburn and poetry by Hattie Gossett and Laurie Carlos, Shelter delivers the compelling message that the poverty of individuals will inevitably lead to the destitution of all humanity. Now more than ever, the world needs the power of dance to bring people together and connect us all by our common humanity.

The event, called "An American Pageant of the Arts," was broadcast live across the U.S. via closed-circuit hookup. Leonard Bernstein served as master of ceremonies for an evening that included appearances by Marian Anderson, Van Cliburn, Robert Frost, Danny Kaye, Bob Newhart, Harry Belafonte, and a young Yo-Yo Ma. Watch the full pageant: https://youtu.be/pCIg6fTPA5U “Art is political in the most profound sense,” the president stated, “not as a weapon in the struggle, but as an instrument of understanding of the futility of struggle between those who share man’s faith.” Two months after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, Congress passed and President Johnson signed into law legislation renaming the National Cultural Center as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy.

Set to be held in Washington, DC on May 6, 2017, this year’s edition of the Summit will examine how arts and culture play a critical role in shaping society, especially through interdisciplinary connections. We’ll focus on existing projects and programs that can propel one’s thinking towards new ideas and actions, including the leaders we look to for guidance and inspiration. As we explore and investigate these ideas together, we'll also honor President John F. Kennedy's legacy through ideals of courage, service, justice, freedom, and gratitude. The program will serve as a reflection on current and past efforts as well as the launching pad for new collaborations and initiatives among participants. The Arts Summit is part of JFKC: A Centennial Celebration of John F. Kennedy, inspired by five enduring ideals often ascribed to JFK: Courage, Freedom, Justice, Service, and Gratitude.

British composer John Ireland was an extremely careful composer who put a lot of thought into his work. During the dark days of World War II, he was asked by the British Broadcasting Corporation to write a march that might help strengthen the courage of the British people. Have you heard of Morse Code? That’s the combination of short and long sounds and flashes of lights and electrical pulses used to signal messages—super, secret messages. Well, the SSSL pattern also means the letter V—like in the word VICTORY—in Morse Code. For sure, Ireland used the SSSL motif in his “Epic March” to comfort the British people that they would win the war. (By the way, they did!) Listen carefully for these dramatic four notes repeated throughout the music. Part of "Reach for the Moon: John F. Kennedy's Vision and Courage," a Young People's Concert. Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni. In the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, October 18, 2016.

Travel back to 1913 when English composer Gustav Holst (pronounced HOLE-st) looked up in the sky and was inspired to write seven “mood pieces” collectively called The Planets. Each piece represented a different planet known at that time. Now, Holst wasn’t the first person to look at the night sky with wonder. In ancient times, people stared at the heavens and believed in the movements of “celestial bodies” and their influence over people on Earth. In fact, Holst based his piece about Mars more on the Roman god of war of the same name, than on any characteristics of the “red planet.” When you listen to Holst’s “Mars, the Bringer of War,” you’ll hear those trumpet calls, military rhythms, and clashing harmonies marching us straight into battle.

Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony is not unfinished at all. Its brilliance lies in the composer’s deliberate decision to leave the masterpiece as is, and no music lover would have it any other way. With compassion for man’s mortality, Schubert packs a lifetime of hope, suffering, and joy into just two perfect movements.

Despite its nickname, Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony is widely considered a complete artistic statement. Composed in 1822, it comprises only two movements—yet in that brief span, Schubert conveys a world of human experience: longing, joy, sorrow, and transcendence. With its lyrical first movement, this symphony stands as one of the great works of the Romantic era.

It is widely considered a landmark in the transition between the Classical and the Romantic era. It is also often considered to be the first Romantic symphony. Gianandrea Noseda is one of the world’s most sought-after conductors, equally recognized for his artistry in both the concert hall and opera house.

Czech composer Bed˘rich Smetana (BED-rick SMET–ah-na) was inspired to write The Moldau by nature, memories of his personal adventures, and a deep love for his country. The work is named after an actual river that runs from a mountainside, through the Czech countryside, and into the city of Prague. In his music, Smetana tells the story of the river’s journey as it passes people and events happening along its banks. Smetana even composes music to describe white water rapids! Smetana visited the Moldau River several times in his life. He wove those personal memories and impressions into a lush melody that serves as a river theme. You will notice that the river theme starts gently but then its melody swells as the river widens. You will also notice that Smetana changes the music to depict different scenes on the riverbanks. Listen for Smetana’s use of French horns and trumpets sounding like hunters chasing a deer through the forest. Listen for the violins performing a polka, (a lively couple dance) at a wedding party. And listen for the flutes as Smetana imagines mermaids in the moonlight. Part of Young People's Concert: Inspiration! Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni, May 24, 2016.

In a galaxy far, far away, a writer named George Lucas created a story about an epic space battle between a bunch of heroes and villains. This was back in 1977, when Lucas cooked up a colorful cast of characters including a dark warrior, a princess, a funny rebel, and a humble farm boy who goes on to galactic greatness. Even after seven films, the story still continues the themes of hope and inspiration, courage to fight off the bad guys, and working together for the good of all humankind. Lucas’s lightsabers light the way with music that has become almost as famous as the films. American composer John Williams was asked to compose the music for Lucas’s first film, and many of the series since. Williams came up with the idea to link each of the story’s main characters with a particular theme, or motif. These themes are instantly recognizable by audiences and offer up clues on how to think or feel about a character. And by choosing “heroic-sounding” instruments like trumpets to rally the troops and string instruments to tug at our hearts, Williams tells us when to cheer, when to fear, and when to watch closely and listen well. Listening to the music, you’ll be inspired to soar into battle for what is right and just. And may the force be with you…always! Part of "Reach for the Moon: John F. Kennedy's Vision and Courage," a Young People's Concert. Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni. In the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, October 18, 2016.

Conducted by Michael Butterman. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi was inspired by nature and his own poetry to write a series of violin concertos to express the four seasons. In the “Presto” (meaning super-fast) section of “Summer,” Vivaldi uses music to tell the story of a shepherd and his flock caught in a sudden The summer rainstorm. Sometimes composers choose to write music that features one instrument over all others. Such a composition is called a concerto, a work that features the talent and skill of a solo performer. The soloist at this concert is a member of the NSO. In a concerto, composers write the soloist’s part to be especially flashy and technically difficult to perform so that the soloist can really show-off his or her skills.

The story is told of how Elgar, returning home from giving violin lessons, sat down at the piano and, to unwind, began improvising. Alice commented favourably on the tune that emerged and Elgar responded by suggesting how certain of their friends might play it. Out of that spontaneous exchange grew the idea of the Enigma Variations, the work that finally secured Elgar's reputation as a composer of national, even international, standing. It remains one of the most popular works in the classical repertoire. - Third Variation - R.B.T. Richard Baxter Townshend, a friend whose caricature of an old man in an amateur theatre production is captured in the variation. - Sixth Variation - Ysobel Isabel Fitton, an amateur viola player from a musical family living in Malvern. - Eleventh Variation - G.R.S.

Part of "Portraits of America," January 22, 2017 Gianandrea Noseda, conductor According to Wikipedia, "Stravinsky's unconventional dominant seventh chord in his arrangement of the "Star-Spangled Banner" led to an incident with the Boston police on 15 January 1944, and he was warned that the authorities could impose a $100 fine upon any "re-arrangement of the national anthem in whole or in part". The police, as it turned out, were wrong. The law in question merely forbade using the national anthem "as dance music, as an exit march, or as a part of a medley of any kind", but the incident soon established itself as a myth, in which Stravinsky was supposedly arrested, held in custody for several nights, and photographed for police records." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Stravinsky Subscribe to The Kennedy Center! http://bit.ly/2gNFrtb #stravinsky #starspangledbanner #nationalsymphonyorchestra https://www.youtube.com/embed/xbHnDs8W36E 0 2018-02-19T14:05:30.000Z Classical Music https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/4HAXsnSeOYM/wenwen-liu-shenzhen-symphony-orchestra---100-birds-flying-towards-the-phoenix-excerpt 2018-02-17T21:27:53.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4HAXsnSeOYM/maxresdefault.jpg Wenwen Liu & Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra - "100 Birds Flying Towards the Phoenix" (Excerpt) Wenwen Liu and the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra perform Guan Xia's "100 Birds Flying Towards the Phoenix" for Suona and Orchestra.

Jessye Norman was trained at Howard University, the Peabody Institute, and the University of Michigan. The New York Times music critic Edward Rothstein described her voice as a "grand mansion of sound," and wrote that "it has enormous dimensions, reaching backward and upward. It opens onto unexpected vistas. It contains sunlit rooms, narrow passageways, cavernous halls." Her operatic début came as Elisabeth in Wagner's Tannhäuser. She went on to sing leading roles with many other companies, including the Metropolitan Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Paris Opera, and the Royal Opera, London. She sang at the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan, at Queen Elizabeth II's 60th birthday celebration in 1986, and performed the La Marseillaise to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution on July 14, 1989. She sang at the 1996 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Atlanta and for the second inauguration of Bill Clinton in 1997. She received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the National Medal of Arts, and was a member of the British Royal Academy of Music. In 1990, UN Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar named her Honorary Ambassador to the United Nations.

For over 40 years, the Kennedy Center and the arts and entertainment world have gathered every December to fete the annual slate of Kennedy Center Honorees and their unparalleled influence on American culture. Given this year’s extraordinary circumstances, the Honors will be re-imagined to celebrate our cultural icons in an unconventional, hybrid format featuring a mix of virtual tributes and small-capacity, in-person live performances in the late spring. The slate of Honorees and event date for the 43rd Kennedy Center Honors will be announced at a later date.

The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor recognizes individuals who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th-century novelist and essayist Samuel Clemens, best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist, and creator of characters, Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective on social injustice and personal folly. “Adam Sandler has entertained audiences for over three decades with his films, music, and his tenure as a fan favorite cast member on SNL,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter about this year’s recipient. “Adam has created characters that have made us laugh, cry, and cry from laughing. I am looking forward to a laughter-filled evening like no other as we celebrate his career at a ceremony that is sure to bring together the best in comedy.” #MarkTwainPrize #AdamSandler #chrisrock #kennedycenter #cnn Subscribe to The Kennedy Center! http://bit.ly/2gNFrtb https://www.youtube.com/embed/8imb1OPd9W0 0 2023-07-14T15:17:20.000Z Pop https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/ZDp-9VV9100/john-legend---you-i-|-live-at-the-kennedy-center 2017-07-28T20:00:40.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZDp-9VV9100/maxresdefault.jpg John Legend - "You & I" | LIVE at The Kennedy Center Musician, singer, and philanthropist John Legend performs his hit "You & I" LIVE at The Kennedy Center.

Watch the full show on PBS: https://www.pbs.org/video/dave-chappelle-the-kennedy-center-mark-twain-prize-qbmxgn/ An outstanding lineup of entertainers gathered in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall to salute Dave Chappelle, recipient of the 22nd annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on October 27, 2019. The Prize, which is named to honor one of the world’s greatest humorists, was given at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy. https://www.kennedy-center.org/pages/specialevents/marktwain Dave Chappelle is an internationally recognized stand-up comedian and actor whose trademark wit and sharp, irreverent social commentary explores race, popular culture, sex, drugs, politics, and fame. Arguably the most-touring comic on the circuit, Chappelle has performed more than 1,600 concerts worldwide in the past four years, selling out shows within minutes of their announcements. Dave Chappelle could always make people laugh. Once he realized the power of his natural talent, he set some ambitious goals for his art. As a 14-year-old student at Washington, D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Chappelle crafted his stand-up comedy act out of the realities of his life growing up Black in the nation's capital. ABOUT THE MARK TWAIN PRIZE The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of memorable characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled and outraged many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand."

Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower at "An American Pageant of the Arts," on November 29, 1962. The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the National Cultural Center, begun under Eisenhower's administration and encouraged under Kennedy's. The prodigious duo performed the first movement of the Concertino No. 3 in A Major, by Jean-Baptiste Breval.

And in this great tradition, there has come to us, this year, a young man aged 7, bearing the name Yo-Yo Ma. Now Yo-Yo came to our attention through the great master Pablo Casals who had recently heard the boy play the cello. Yo-Yo is, as you may have guessed, Chinese, and has lived up to now in France—a highly international type. But he and his family are now here. His father is teaching school in New York, and his 11-year-old sister, Yeou-Cheng Ma, is pursuing her musical studies, and they are all hoping to become American citizens.

Jessye Norman was trained at Howard University, the Peabody Institute, and the University of Michigan. The New York Times music critic Edward Rothstein described her voice as a "grand mansion of sound," and wrote that "it has enormous dimensions, reaching backward and upward. It opens onto unexpected vistas. It contains sunlit rooms, narrow passageways, cavernous halls." Her operatic début came as Elisabeth in Wagner's Tannhäuser. She went on to sing leading roles with many other companies, including the Metropolitan Opera, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Paris Opera, and the Royal Opera, London. She sang at the second inauguration of Ronald Reagan, at Queen Elizabeth II's 60th birthday celebration in 1986, and performed the La Marseillaise to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution on July 14, 1989. She sang at the 1996 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Atlanta and for the second inauguration of Bill Clinton in 1997. She received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the National Medal of Arts, and was a member of the British Royal Academy of Music. In 1990, UN Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar named her Honorary Ambassador to the United Nations.

The Prize, which is named to honor one of the world’s greatest humorists, was given at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy. https://www.kennedy-center.org/pages/specialevents/marktwain Dave Chappelle is an internationally recognized stand-up comedian and actor whose trademark wit and sharp, irreverent social commentary explores race, popular culture, sex, drugs, politics, and fame. Arguably the most-touring comic on the circuit, Chappelle has performed more than 1,600 concerts worldwide in the past four years, selling out shows within minutes of their announcements. Dave Chappelle could always make people laugh. Once he realized the power of his natural talent, he set some ambitious goals for his art. As a 14-year-old student at Washington, D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Chappelle crafted his stand-up comedy act out of the realities of his life growing up Black in the nation's capital. ABOUT THE MARK TWAIN PRIZE The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of memorable characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled and outraged many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." The inaugural Mark Twain Prize was presented to Richard Pryor during the first annual Kennedy Center Celebration of American Humor, October 20, 1998. The event was created by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Bob Kaminsky, Peter Kaminsky, Mark Krantz, and https://www.youtube.com/embed/JnE8cAdZ2IY 0 2020-05-16T13:52:25.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/9V-mVSwVjeE/brave---sara-bareilles-w-the-national-symphony-orchestra-|-declassified:-ben-folds-presents 2021-03-12T17:07:47.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9V-mVSwVjeE/maxresdefault.jpg "Brave" - Sara Bareilles w/ the National Symphony Orchestra | DECLASSIFIED: Ben Folds Presents Sara Bareilles performs her sensational hit "Brave" with the National Symphony Orchestra, as arranged by Alex Lacamoire.

Now, for over 20 years they have rocked us with their De La songs full of inscrutable samplings, whimsically irreverent lyrics, social commentary, light rhythm and laid back rhymes. They have gained respect within and outside the hip hop community with their contributions to rap, as well as jazz, funk, soul and alternative genres. Not only are their musical innovations acclaimed and respected worldwide, but they paved a path for many alternative rap groups to come after them.

Now, for over 20 years they have rocked us with their De La songs full of inscrutable samplings, whimsically irreverent lyrics, social commentary, light rhythm and laid back rhymes. They have gained respect within and outside the hip hop community with their contributions to rap, as well as jazz, funk, soul and alternative genres. Not only are their musical innovations acclaimed and respected worldwide, but they paved a path for many alternative rap groups to come after them. Today, De La continues to tour the globe and released their most recent studio album “And The Anonymous Nobody”, in 2016.

But don’t let his strength and grace fool you: to become a part of this dance troop requires rigorous training, athleticism and skill. Its blend of folk dance, classical ballet and modern dance originated over 70 years ago with the grandparents of current director Nino Sukhishvili. Now, the 100+ member ensemble travels the world bringing Georgian dance front and center stage. This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

So when Kanye West recorded his debut single, "Through the Wire," with his jaw completely wired shut after a car accident, he was taking a huge risk. When you listen to "Through the Wire," you immediately hear that Kanye "chipmunk soul" in his pitched-up sample of Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire." But you also hear Kanye riff: Yo, Gee, they can’t stop me from rapping, can they? Can they, Hop? His voice is muffled and lispy. It's not clear at all. But that vocal performance illustrates something unique about his work as a producer and artist: His greatest instrument has always been the human voice. Here's a Spotify playlist for some select Kanye West tracks. https://open.spotify.com/user/estellecaswell/playlist/4We6iitXGS13jnzujboBHe Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

Use your phone or “click and drag” to experience every angle, from backstage to the top of Pride Rock. For viewing on desktop, watch in the latest Chrome browser and use your mouse to click and drag to navigate your view. For viewing on mobile or tablet, open the latest YouTube then move your device to navigate your view. The video is produced for The Lion King by Total Cinema 360. Unlike most virtual reality captures of landscapes, sporting events or concerts, The Lion King’s allows viewers to experience “Circle of Life” from the actors’ point of view and see activity otherwise invisible to an audience. The camera allows viewers – in a seamless 360° sweep – to experience the number from within it, completely surrounded by the 31 cast members onstage, Julie Taymor’s eye-popping puppets and masks, the audience seated in the Minskoff Theatre auditorium, set pieces flying in from above and actors emerging from two floors below the stage as Pride Rock rises up to present Mufasa, Rafiki and baby Simba. The virtual reality technology enables viewers to choose where to look at every point, inviting repeat viewings of the video to take in every possible vantage point. “In our 19th year, The Lion King continues to be embraced to an unprecedented degree around the world, and we are humbled,” said Thomas Schumacher, President and Producer Disney Theatrical Productions. “But with that success comes the responsibility to consistently find new ways of sharing Julie Taymor’s bold artistry. What better way to do that than this cutting edge virtual reality technology that puts you right in the middle of one of the most unforgettable production numbers ever staged? For the first time ever, you become part of the ‘Circle of Life.’” Get Tickets: http://www.lionking.com/tickets Subscribe to Disney on Broadway: http://www.youtube.com/DisneyOnBroadway THE LION KING continues ascendant as one of the most popular stage musicals in the world, with a worldwide gross exceeds https://www.youtube.com/embed/7T57kzGQGto 0 2017-10-17T16:18:33.000Z Best of the Web https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/7mFDXNODNyc/martha-argerich---bach-partita-no.-2---verbier-festival-2008 2017-12-07T16:25:09.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7mFDXNODNyc/hqdefault.jpg Martha Argerich - Bach Partita No. 2 - Verbier Festival 2008 Full concert here: https://cutt.ly/dWBnKme Subscribe to our channel for more videos http://ow.ly/ugONZ Martha Argerich, piano Johann-Sebastian Bach - Partita No. 2 in C Minor, BWV 82 Concert recorded at the Verbier Festival (Verbier, Switzerland), on 2008 © Idéale Audience in partnership with ARTE France Follow medici.tv on: | Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/medicitv | Twitter : https://twitter.com/medicitv | Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/medici.tv/ Dive into the heart of classical music with medici.tv!

He's a Radiohead fan who also happens to be an incredibly talented musician and music teacher. In December 2016 he uploaded a 38 minute video to YouTube about a Radiohead song that I deeply love, "Videotape." He had been thinking about the music theory behind this seemingly simple song for the better part of a decade. The reason? “Videotape”, a slow rhythmically monotonous song, is actually syncopated. I’m joined also by Erin Barra, a professor at Berklee College of Music, who helped Warren and I explain this musical illusion. Warren’s video can be found right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvKhtFXPswk Some songs don't just stick in your head, they change the music world forever.

Nope. In ancient Hawai'i, men were the first to dance hula, and the best dancers were even chosen to become warriors. Today, Ke Kai O Kahiki—one of Hawai'i's most famous male hula schools—is carrying on this tradition by telling warrior stories with dance. To do so, dancers train in the same way as their ancient forbearers, using the land itself as a harsh and unforgiving gym. To dance like a warrior, you need to train like one.

The Katherine Dunham Dance Company was the first black modern-dance company in North America, performing internationally for over 30 years. Ms. Dunham's legacy continues today through the Katherine Dunham Centers for Arts and Humanities in East St. Louis, Illinois, the Katherine Dunham Collection at the Library of Congress, and the generations of dancers, scholars, and theater artists who have been profoundly influenced by her work. In 2002, Ms. Dunham spent a week in The School at Jacob's Pillow, teaching classes in the Cultural Traditions Workshop, appearing onstage as part of a public tribute, and participating in interviews about her life's work. The PillowTalk excerpted here is one of many videos documenting the week's activities. EXCERPT from PillowTalk: The Legacy of Katherine Dunham recorded June 26, 2002. Included in the excerpt but not speaking: Reginald Yates and Julie Robinson Belafonte. PillowTalks feature world-renowned choreographers, dancers, authors, filmmakers, historians, and critics in live hour-long moderated discussions of the cultural forces shaping the field of dance. Curated by Jacob's Pillow Director of Preservation Norton Owen and moderated by Jacob's Pillow Scholars-in-Residence, PillowTalks use dance as a prism to explore the world at large.

OLIVÉRio: A Brazilian Twist A world premiere Kennedy Center commission Inspired by Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens Book and lyrics by Karen Zacarías Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma Directed by Juliette Carrillo Cast features Felicia Curry as "Olivério" – and Rayanne Gonzales, James Konicek, Donna Migliaccio, Sasha Olinick, Erika Rose and Arturo Soria Live Brazilian band features Bruno Lucini, percussion, Leonardo Lucini, bass, Richard Miller, guitar It's New Year's Eve in Rio de Janeiro! Everyone in the city is making their annual pilgrimage to the beach, in hopes that the goddess of the sea will grant them their wishes. Esperanza Olivério, a young girl from the Brazilian desert, has found herself upon the shore not asking, but thanking, and even the goddess is struck by her innocence. But con man Falcao has other plans for "Oli," like using her genuine charm to steal from wealthy strangers. Supported by two new friends - Falcao's spunky apprentice Zé Esquiva and wash maid Nanci - might Oli's big dreams help them escape a life on the streets? Or will the ways of the city and its poor favela neighborhoods lead to even more hardship ahead? Inspired by Oliver Twist, this new musical mixes fantasy, shifting identities, and a healthy helping of humor to explore the cultural melting pot of modern-day Rio. Original songs and music bring to life samba, capoeira, Carnaval, and other Brazilian traditions, while Oli's inspiring story proves there's more to family than you might think - and it's never too late to ask for just "a little more" hope in the world. https://www.youtube.com/embed/lxmErNmgnns 0 2018-01-07T17:21:02.000Z International https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/OkMMvRCbpK8/jojo-abot---to-li-|-live-at-the-kennedy-center 2018-03-21T14:49:19.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OkMMvRCbpK8/maxresdefault.jpg Jojo Abot - "To Li" | LIVE at The Kennedy Center Ghanaian singer-songwriter Jojo Abot performs "To Li," LIVE at The Kennedy Center.

In 2018, the co-creators of Hamilton—writer and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail, choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, and music director Alex Lacamoire—received a unique Kennedy Center Honors as trailblazing creators of a transformative work that defies category. The Kennedy Center Honors are given annually to select performing artists for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. Our Honors Memories series catches up with Honorees right after the Honors event to hear how they felt during tributes to their artistry, followed by a memorable performance from that night. For over 40 years, the Kennedy Center and the arts and entertainment world have gathered every December to fete the annual slate of Kennedy Center Honorees and their unparalleled influence on American culture. Given this year’s extraordinary circumstances, the Honors will be re-imagined to celebrate our cultural icons in an unconventional, hybrid format featuring a mix of virtual tributes and small-capacity, in-person live performances in the late spring. The slate of Honorees and event date for the 43rd Kennedy Center Honors will be announced at a later date.

Along with his growing body of pioneering orchestral works, Bates recently accepted a commission from Santa Fe Opera to write an opera with librettist Mark Campbell titled The (Re)evolution of Steve Jobs, about the iconic figure of the digital era. Bates himself has been re-imagining the possibilities of traditional orchestral music and the concert experience itself for the context of our wired times. In Mothership this impulse converges with the composer's parallel career as a DJ (who goes by the moniker "Masonic"). In San Francisco and many other cities Bates has for years been curating after-hours sessions of immersive electronica, at times as late-into-the-night extensions of an orchestral concert. Compositions like Mothership fuse Bates's varied identities by incorporating electronic samplings familiar from the dance club floor into high-energy orchestral textures. Even Mothership's creation followed an unusual track. It was commissioned by the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, the world's first online collaborative orchestra (which was established in 2008). The members of this ensemble were recruited on the basis of auditions they posted online (juried by professional orchestral musicians and selected according to online voting from YouTube users). Spearheaded by the conductor Michael Tilson Thomas, a prominent champion of both John Adams and Mason Bates, the YouTube Symphony has also performed in live concerts (which, naturally, are also available on YouTube). At their live concert debut in 2009, Tilson Thomas quipped about the way to get to Carnegie Hall (where they performed): "Upload, upload, upload!" On March 20, 2011, the YouTube Symphony unveiled Mothership, https://www.youtube.com/embed/nC6jTdlLP2s 0 2017-07-28T18:55:31.000Z Classical Music https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/HTD-PTuN5ZU/sasha-cooke-and-the-nso-perform-passage-by-mason-bates 2017-07-28T18:55:31.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HTD-PTuN5ZU/maxresdefault.jpg Sasha Cooke and the NSO perform "Passage" by Mason Bates A world premiere work from Mason Bates unites the iconic American voices of President John F. Kennedy and poet Walt Whitman in this concert celebration of JFK's monumental legacy. Led by conductor Joshua Weilerstein in his National Symphony Orchestra debut, this concert celebration of John F. Kennedy's monumental legacy features a world premiere from Kennedy Center Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates. Passage examines the theme of American exploration through the visionary words of Walt Whitman and John F. Kennedy. Composed for renowned mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke and the NSO, the work imaginatively sets Whitman's "Passage to India" alongside recorded fragments of JFK's moonshot speech. Two iconic American voices—that of poet and President—come together on a journey to the ever-expanding human frontier. This event is part of JFKC: A Centennial Celebration of John F.

In a galaxy far, far away, a writer named George Lucas created a story about an epic space battle between a bunch of heroes and villains. This was back in 1977, when Lucas cooked up a colorful cast of characters including a dark warrior, a princess, a funny rebel, and a humble farm boy who goes on to galactic greatness. Even after seven films, the story still continues the themes of hope and inspiration, courage to fight off the bad guys, and working together for the good of all humankind. Lucas’s lightsabers light the way with music that has become almost as famous as the films. American composer John Williams was asked to compose the music for Lucas’s first film, and many of the series since. Williams came up with the idea to link each of the story’s main characters with a particular theme, or motif. These themes are instantly recognizable by audiences and offer up clues on how to think or feel about a character. And by choosing “heroic-sounding” instruments like trumpets to rally the troops and string instruments to tug at our hearts, Williams tells us when to cheer, when to fear, and when to watch closely and listen well. Listening to the music, you’ll be inspired to soar into battle for what is right and just. And may the force be with you…always! Part of "Reach for the Moon: John F. Kennedy's Vision and Courage," a Young People's Concert. Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni. In the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, October 18, 2016.

Rubenstein. “Earth, Wind & Fire’s hooks and grooves are the foundation of a seminal style that continues to shape our musical landscape; Sally Field has brought us unforgettable characters, both joyous and poignant, for more than five decades; Linda Ronstadt is the defining voice of a generation, spanning genres, languages, and continents; Sesame Street continues to revolutionize how children and adults learn about our world; and Michael Tilson Thomas goes far beyond keeping score: he has shaped American music and musical institutions for the 21st century.” “In this class of honorees, we are witnessing a uniquely American story: one that is representative of so many cultural touchstones and musical moments that make our nation great,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter. “When I look at this class, I see the hopes, aspirations, and achievements not just of these honorees, but of the many generations they have influenced and continue to influence. We’re not just looking back; these honorees are urging us to look forward as well.” The 42nd annual Kennedy Center Honors marks the first time a television program will receive the award. The co-founders of Sesame Street, Joan Ganz Cooney and Dr. Lloyd Morrisett, will accept the Kennedy Center Honors on behalf of the show, Muppets creator Jim Henson, seminal Muppets artists Caroll Spinney and Frank Oz, and the thousands of creatives who have built the program’s 50-year legacy.

The Prize, which is named to honor one of the world’s greatest humorists, was given at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy. The program will be broadcast on PBS stations on Tuesday, January 7, 2020. https://www.kennedy-center.org/pages/specialevents/marktwain Dave Chappelle is an internationally recognized stand-up comedian and actor whose trademark wit and sharp, irreverent social commentary explores race, popular culture, sex, drugs, politics, and fame. Arguably the most-touring comic on the circuit, Chappelle has performed more than 1,600 concerts worldwide in the past four years, selling out shows within minutes of their announcements. Dave Chappelle could always make people laugh. Once he realized the power of his natural talent, he set some ambitious goals for his art.

ABOUT THE MARK TWAIN PRIZE The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of memorable characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled and outraged many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand."

Czech composer Bed˘rich Smetana (BED-rick SMET–ah-na) was inspired to write The Moldau by nature, memories of his personal adventures, and a deep love for his country. The work is named after an actual river that runs from a mountainside, through the Czech countryside, and into the city of Prague. In his music, Smetana tells the story of the river’s journey as it passes people and events happening along its banks. Smetana even composes music to describe white water rapids! Smetana visited the Moldau River several times in his life. He wove those personal memories and impressions into a lush melody that serves as a river theme. You will notice that the river theme starts gently but then its melody swells as the river widens. You will also notice that Smetana changes the music to depict different scenes on the riverbanks. Listen for Smetana’s use of French horns and trumpets sounding like hunters chasing a deer through the forest. Listen for the violins performing a polka, (a lively couple dance) at a wedding party. And listen for the flutes as Smetana imagines mermaids in the moonlight. Part of Young People's Concert: Inspiration! Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni, May 24, 2016.

The Prize, which is named to honor one of the world’s greatest humorists, was given at a gala performance featuring some of the biggest names in comedy. https://www.kennedy-center.org/pages/specialevents/marktwain Dave Chappelle is an internationally recognized stand-up comedian and actor whose trademark wit and sharp, irreverent social commentary explores race, popular culture, sex, drugs, politics, and fame. Arguably the most-touring comic on the circuit, Chappelle has performed more than 1,600 concerts worldwide in the past four years, selling out shows within minutes of their announcements. Dave Chappelle could always make people laugh. Once he realized the power of his natural talent, he set some ambitious goals for his art. As a 14-year-old student at Washington, D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Chappelle crafted his stand-up comedy act out of the realities of his life growing up Black in the nation's capital. ABOUT THE MARK TWAIN PRIZE The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of memorable characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled and outraged many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." The inaugural Mark Twain Prize was presented to Richard Pryor during the first annual Kennedy Center Celebration of American Humor, October 20, 1998. The event was created by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Bob Kaminsky, Peter Kaminsky, Mark Krantz, and https://www.youtube.com/embed/grHL75kccpA 0 2020-05-14T03:51:42.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/b5_KmD4Wl60/vanessa-williams---colors-of-the-wind-from-pocahontas-|-live-at-the-kennedy-center 2018-03-19T01:24:55.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/b5_KmD4Wl60/maxresdefault.jpg Vanessa Williams - "Colors of the Wind" from "Pocahontas" | LIVE at The Kennedy Center Vanessa Williams performs "Colors of the Wind" LIVE at The Kennedy Center during the annual "Let Freedom Ring" celebration.

By naming one of his jazz bands The Washingtonians, Duke Ellington made his home part of his persona. D.C. philanthropist and avid art collector Peggy Cooper Cafritz and the late dancer and choreographer Mike Malone returned the favor, building this school to house the creative soul of the District, and to reflect the rich cultural diversity of the United States. From the beginning, public and private partnerships have supported the school, which in 2000 evolved into the Duke Ellington School of the Arts Project (DESAP), which includes the D.C. Public Schools, the Ellington Fund, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and George Washington University. http://www.ellingtonsch https://www.youtube.com/embed/OZmWPsMsCG8 0 2020-06-25T16:16:02.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/pcFfjqjbvf0/a-kennedy-center-tribute-to-aretha-franklin-1942-2018 2018-08-16T22:01:38.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pcFfjqjbvf0/maxresdefault.jpg A Kennedy Center Tribute to Aretha Franklin (1942-2018) Remembering the Queen of Soul.

Flor de Toloache make New York City history as its’ first and only all­-women mariachi group. Founded in 2008, Flor de Toloache is led by singers Mireya I. Ramos (founder) & Shae Fiol (founding member). Reminiscent of the early days of mariachi, the group started as a trio -- Harp, Violin and Vihuela. Today, Flor De Toloache’s members hail from diverse cultural backgrounds such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Italy and the United States. The result of this cultural bouquet is an edgy, versatile and fresh take on traditional Mexican music. They coalesce as would a band of sisters, with a grace and vibrant beauty that casts a spell over their audiences not unlike the legendary Toloache flower still being used in Mexico as a love potion. The Kennedy Center Honors celebrates icons who, through their artistry, have left an indelible stamp on our collective cultural consciousness,” stated Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. Linda Ronstadt is the defining voice of a generation, spanning genres, languages, and continents. In a star-studded celebration on the Kennedy Center Opera House stage, the 2019 Honorees were saluted by today's leading performers from New York, Hollywood, and the arts capitals of the world through performances and tributes.

Arguably the most-touring comic on the circuit, Chappelle has performed more than 1,600 concerts worldwide in the past four years, selling out shows within minutes of their announcements. Dave Chappelle could always make people laugh. Once he realized the power of his natural talent, he set some ambitious goals for his art. As a 14-year-old student at Washington, D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Chappelle crafted his stand-up comedy act out of the realities of his life growing up Black in the nation's capital. ABOUT THE MARK TWAIN PRIZE The Mark Twain Prize recognizes people who have had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain. As a social commentator, satirist and creator of memorable characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled and outraged many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly. He revealed the great truth of humor when he said "against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." The inaugural Mark Twain Prize was presented to Richard Pryor during the first annual Kennedy Center Celebration of American Humor, October 20, 1998. The event was created by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Bob Kaminsky, Peter Kaminsky, Mark Krantz, and John Schreiber and is televised annually. The Kennedy Center is grateful to Cappy McGarr for his steadfast support of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor since its inception. Previous recipients of the Mark Twain include Richard Pryor (1998), Jonathan Winters (1999), Carl Reiner (2000), Whoopi Goldberg (2001), Bob Newhart (2002), Lily Tomlin (2003), Lorne Michaels (2004), Steve Martin (2005), Neil Simon https://www.youtube.com/embed/zqA7x5MkJBQ 0 2020-05-15T02:56:14.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/iRRNaAfe3p4/audra-mcdonald-and-brian-stokes-mitchell-re-unite-to-sing-wheels-of-a-dream-from-ragtime 2020-06-18T14:46:26.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iRRNaAfe3p4/maxresdefault.jpg Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell re-unite to sing "Wheels of a Dream" from Ragtime Twenty years after they first performed the roles, Broadway stars Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell re-unite to sing "Wheels of a Dream" from Ragtime LIVE at the Kennedy Center.

Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower during "An American Pageant of the Arts," on November 29, 1962. The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the National Cultural Center, begun under Eisenhower's administration and encouraged under Kennedy's. Two months after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, Congress passed and President Johnson signed into law legislation renaming the National Cultural Center as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy.

Newhart came to prominence in 1960 when his album of comedic monologues, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, became a bestseller and reached number one on the Billboard pop album chart; it remains the 20th-best selling comedy album in history. Newhart later went into acting, starring as Chicago psychologist Robert Hartley in The Bob Newhart Show during the 1970s and then as Vermont innkeeper Dick Loudon on the 1980s series Newhart. Newhart had film roles as Major Major in Catch-22 and Papa Elf in Elf. He provided the voice of Bernard in the Disney animated films The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under. In 2013, Newhart made his first of six guest appearances on The Big Bang Theory as Professor Proton, for which he received his first Primetime Emmy Award.

Part of "Portraits of America," January 22, 2017 Gianandrea Noseda, conductor According to Wikipedia, "Stravinsky's unconventional dominant seventh chord in his arrangement of the "Star-Spangled Banner" led to an incident with the Boston police on 15 January 1944, and he was warned that the authorities could impose a $100 fine upon any "re-arrangement of the national anthem in whole or in part". The police, as it turned out, were wrong. The law in question merely forbade using the national anthem "as dance music, as an exit march, or as a part of a medley of any kind", but the incident soon established itself as a myth, in which Stravinsky was supposedly arrested, held in custody for several nights, and photographed for police records." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Stravinsky Subscribe to The Kennedy Center! http://bit.ly/2gNFrtb #stravinsky #starspangledbanner #nationalsymphonyorchestra https://www.youtube.com/embed/xbHnDs8W36E 0 2020-07-02T15:00:45.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/m9gcUh1TpHs/lenny-kravitz---whole-lotta-love-led-zeppelin-tribute-|-2012-kennedy-center-honors 2021-05-26T18:56:56.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m9gcUh1TpHs/maxresdefault.jpg Lenny Kravitz - "Whole Lotta Love" (Led Zeppelin Tribute) | 2012 Kennedy Center Honors The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.

Part of Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center. December 16, 2017. Watch the full performance here: https://youtu.be/QWg8JwEF3SY The Sweet Heaven Kings is the premier brass band at the United House of Prayer in the historic Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The gospel brass band tradition is unique to this denomination. It was introduced into services by charismatic church founder Bishop Charles M. "Sweet Daddy" Grace. Grace established his first congregation in 1919 in West Wareham, Massachusetts, with an emphasis on the direct, physical experience of the Spirit. From the 1920s onward, as the church spread rapidly throughout the South, Grace began using brass instruments as the centerpiece of his all-day, all-night services. By the 1960s, trombones became the instrument of choice for House of Prayer bands, and groups were expanded to create a fuller, more multi-layered sound in the vein of large gospel choirs. The Kings of Harmony was formed in Washington, D.C., during this period and Norvus Miller emerged as the group's leader. Norvus "Butch Littlejohn" Miller Sr., who died May 1, 1994, described this music as "inspirational gospel whose purpose is to edify and glorify the Lord." Sweet Heaven Kings is comprised of sixteen musicians, including two of Miller's sons, one of whom now leads the band. The brothers play first and second lead trombones.

Our Honors Memories series catches up with Honorees right after the Honors event to hear how they felt during tributes to their artistry, followed by a memorable performance from that night. For over 40 years, the Kennedy Center and the arts and entertainment world have gathered every December to fete the annual slate of Kennedy Center Honorees and their unparalleled influence on American culture. Given this year’s extraordinary circumstances, the Honors will be re-imagined to celebrate our cultural icons in an unconventional, hybrid format featuring a mix of virtual tributes and small-capacity, in-person live performances in the late spring.

In a galaxy far, far away, a writer named George Lucas created a story about an epic space battle between a bunch of heroes and villains. This was back in 1977, when Lucas cooked up a colorful cast of characters including a dark warrior, a princess, a funny rebel, and a humble farm boy who goes on to galactic greatness. Even after seven films, the story still continues the themes of hope and inspiration, courage to fight off the bad guys, and working together for the good of all humankind. Lucas’s lightsabers light the way with music that has become almost as famous as the films. American composer John Williams was asked to compose the music for Lucas’s first film, and many of the series since. Williams came up with the idea to link each of the story’s main characters with a particular theme, or motif. These themes are instantly recognizable by audiences and offer up clues on how to think or feel about a character. And by choosing “heroic-sounding” instruments like trumpets to rally the troops and string instruments to tug at our hearts, Williams tells us when to cheer, when to fear, and when to watch closely and listen well. Listening to the music, you’ll be inspired to soar into battle for what is right and just. And may the force be with you…always! Part of "Reach for the Moon: John F. Kennedy's Vision and Courage," a Young People's Concert. Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni. In the Kennedy Center Concert Hall, October 18, 2016.

She was the first Native American to hold the rank, and is said to have revolutionized ballet. When George Balanchine co-founded what would become the New York City Ballet in 1946, Tallchief became the company's first star. The combination of Balanchine's difficult choreography and Tallchief's passionate dancing changed the world of dance. She served as director of ballet for the Lyric Opera of Chicago for most of the 1970s and debuted the Chicago City Ballet in 1981. Tallchief was honored by the people of Oklahoma with multiple statues and an honorific day. She was inducted in the National Women's Hall of Fame and received a National Medal of Arts. In 1996, Tallchief received a Kennedy Center Honor for lifetime achievements.

Steven Spielberg is considered one of the founding pioneers of the New Hollywood era and one of the most popular directors and producers in film history.

He has won the Academy Award for Best Director twice. His total work makes him the highest-grossing film director in history. The Kennedy Center Honors celebrates icons who, through their artistry, have left an indelible stamp on our collective cultural consciousness,” stated Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. “Sally Field has brought us unforgettable characters, both joyous and poignant, for more than five decades." Sally Field is the recipient of various accolades, including two Academy Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, and she has been nominated for a Tony Award and two BAFTA Awards. Field began her professional career on television, starring in the short-lived comedies Gidget (1965–1966), The Flying Nun (1967–1970), and The Girl with Something Extra (1973–1974). In 1976, she garnered critical acclaim for her performance in the miniseries Sybil, for which she received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.

Travel back to 1913 when English composer Gustav Holst (pronounced HOLE-st) looked up in the sky and was inspired to write seven “mood pieces” collectively called The Planets. Each piece represented a different planet known at that time. Now, Holst wasn’t the first person to look at the night sky with wonder. In ancient times, people stared at the heavens and believed in the movements of “celestial bodies” and their influence over people on Earth. In fact, Holst based his piece about Mars more on the Roman god of war of the same name, than on any characteristics of the “red planet.” When you listen to Holst’s “Mars, the Bringer of War,” you’ll hear those trumpet calls, military rhythms, and clashing harmonies marching us straight into battle.

If that sounds like a slogan, it's truth in advertising." -The New York Times Using African-American spirituals, song-sermons, gospel songs and holy blues, Alvin Ailey's Revelations fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul. More than just a popular dance work, it has become a cultural treasure, beloved by generations of fans. Seeing Revelations for the first time or the hundredth can be a transcendent experience, with audiences cheering, singing along and dancing in their seats from the opening notes of the plaintive "I Been 'Buked" to the rousing "Wade in the Water" and the triumphant finale, "Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham." Ailey said that one of America's richest treasures was the African-American cultural heritage-"sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful." This enduring classic is a tribute to that tradition, born out of the choreographer's "blood memories" of his childhood in rural Texas and the Baptist Church.

Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower during "An American Pageant of the Arts," on November 29, 1962. The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the National Cultural Center, begun under Eisenhower's administration and encouraged under Kennedy's. Two months after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, Congress passed and President Johnson signed into law legislation renaming the National Cultural Center as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy.

Music critic Alan Blyth said: "Her voice was a rich, vibrant contralto of intrinsic beauty." In 1939, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) refused permission for Anderson to sing to an integrated audience in Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. The incident placed Anderson into the spotlight of the international community on a level unusual for a classical musician. With the aid of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt, Anderson performed a critically acclaimed open-air concert on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in the capital. She sang before an integrated crowd of more than 75,000 people and a radio audience in the millions. Anderson continued to break barriers for black artists in the United States, becoming the first black person, American or otherwise, to perform at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City on January 7, 1955. Her performance as Ulrica in Giuseppe Verdi's Un ballo in maschera at the Met was the only time she sang an opera role on stage. Anderson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963, the Congressional Gold Medal in 1977, the Kennedy Center Honors in 1978, the Nati https://www.youtube.com/embed/-r5T9ttuy3I 0 2020-08-18T16:24:31.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/YD-JvMChuDg/vivaldi:-summer-from-the-four-seasons---national-symphony-orchestra-|-the-kennedy-center 2020-06-22T04:36:30.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YD-JvMChuDg/maxresdefault.jpg Vivaldi: "Summer" from The Four Seasons - National Symphony Orchestra | The Kennedy Center The National Symphony Orchestra and Marisa Regni perform Vivaldi's Summer from the Four Seasons. Conducted by Michael Butterman. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi was inspired by nature and his own poetry to write a series of violin concertos to express the four seasons. In the “Presto” (meaning super-fast) section of “Summer,” Vivaldi uses music to tell the story of a shepherd and his flock caught in a sudden The summer rainstorm. Sometimes composers choose to write music that features one instrument over all others. Such a composition is called a concerto, a work that features the talent and skill of a solo performer. The soloist at this concert is a member of the NSO. In a concerto, composers write the soloist’s part to be especially flashy and technically difficult to perform so that the soloist can really show-off his or her skills.

Bassist Paul DeNola and violinist Heather LeDoux Green introduce young audiences to some of the greatest music ever written. You’ll never hear a word out of them during the concert, but with instruments in hand and a trunk full of gags, this “silent” comedic tag-team presents a hilarious program of music and mayhem. For more information and education content around this show, please visit https://www.kennedy-center.org/thestringthing. About the Show: Meet Heather and Paul. They are friends who like to have fun and tease each other. They also happen to love playing music together on their string instruments. Heather plays the violin and Paul plays the double bass (we’ll call it the bass for short). Watch how they have a great time in ways that go with the music. During the show, Heather and Paul never say a word. They communicate using costume pieces (like hats and goofy glasses) and objects (like signs). They also use mime—silently communicating through different looks on their faces and body movements. The only sound you’ll hear is amazing music, and lots of it. During the performance, listen for the song “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” A famous composer (a person who writes music) named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (MO-tzart) wrote changes called variations for the main melody, or theme. At the end of the performance, you’ll hear music you might have heard before because it’s been used in movies, cartoons, and TV shows. The music is called the William Tell Overture, and it helps tell the story of a hero rallying his army against an enemy. Can you imagine the troops charging?

(1962) An historic release from the Kennedy Center's archives -- Presidents John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower are special guests at "An American Pageant of the Arts" -- a fundraising event for the National Cultural Center, on November 29, 1962. The main stage was at the D.C. National Guard Armory, where five thousand attendees paid $100 a plate to attend the black-tie event. Other performances were beamed in from Chicago, Illinois, and President Eisenhower attended from Augusta, Georgia. Leonard Bernstein hosted the evening, expounding on the significance and importance of the arts while introducing some of the nation's top performers across music, dance and theater. The lineup included actor/comedian Danny Kaye, singer Marian Anderson, poet Robert Frost, dancer Maria Tallchief, pianists Andre Previn and Van Cliburn, seven-year-old cellist Yo-Yo Ma and sister Yeou-Cheng Ma on piano, actor Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain, comedian Bob Newhart, singer Harry Belafonte, actors Frederic March, Florence Eldridge, Bradford Dillman, Colleen Dewhurst, and Jason Robards Jr. under the direction of Jose Quintero, soprano Dorothy Kiersten and tenor Richard Tucker, the United States Navy Band, the National Symphony Orchestra, and many more. The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the National Cultural Center, begun under Eisenhower's administration and encouraged under Kennedy's. First Ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Mamie Eisenhower were particularly involved as Honorary Chairs of the institution. Two months after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, Congress passed and President Johnson signed into law legislation renaming the National Cultural Center (designed by Edward Durell Stone) as a "living memorial" to John F. Kennedy.

Kenneth Kellogg, a D.C. native who plays the Father in Blue, learns lessons from a police officer. The story of the Washington National Opera's "Blue" is an extremely personal one for Kenneth. Having a young son himself, playing the role of a father comes naturally to him. But, to learn to play a police officer, he needed help from retired police officer Frank Riley. Watch as Kenneth reveals why this opera is so personal for him and learns more about the issues at the heart of Blue. "Blue" - The Opera "Blue" brings audiences into the emotional epicenter of an African-American couple — a father (who is a police officer) and a mother — who lose their teenage son when he is killed by a fellow police officer. Music by Jeanine Tesori / Libretto by Tazewell Thompson Co-Production with The Glimmerglass Festival and Lyric Opera of Chicago Tony Award®–winning composer Jeanine Tesori and NAACP Theatre Award–winning librettist Tazewell Thompson’s new opera inspired by contemporary events and Black literature, including Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me and James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time. Jeanine's signature and genre-blending style and vivid flashbacks capture the grief of a family and community navigating the turbulent waters of loss at the hands of police. Exploring race, violence, and reconciliation, Blue places timely issues at the forefront of modern opera and invites audiences to the emotional epicenter of their impact.

Despite its nickname, Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony is widely considered a complete artistic statement. Composed in 1822, it comprises only two movements—yet in that brief span, Schubert conveys a world of human experience: longing, joy, sorrow, and transcendence.

Subscribe to our channel! https://www.youtube.com/user/TheKennedyCenter Ben Folds is widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation. For over ten years he’s shared the stage with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras, performing his pop hits and critically acclaimed concerto for Piano and Orchestra. He was recently named as the first-ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center where he will bring pop artists together with the nation's orchestra to collaborate on new music. Throughout his career, Folds has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and collaborative records with artists from Sara Bareilles and Regina Spektor, to William Shatner. Folds continues to perform with symphonies and also cross country solo touring reminiscent of his earliest years, delivering a high energy rock performance using the intimacy of just a piano. An avid photographer, Folds is a member of the distinguished Sony Artisans of Imagery, and earlier this year completed an assignment as a photo editor for National Geographic. And he’s an outspoken advocate for music education and music therapy as a member of Americans For The Arts, and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Nashville Symphony. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Wq8fG447Ls4 0 2017-12-16T17:18:56.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/_9t0vvbmB88/chris-thile-and-punch-brothers---passepied-by-claude-debussy 2018-02-26T14:33:36.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_9t0vvbmB88/maxresdefault.jpg Chris Thile and Punch Brothers - "Passepied" by Claude Debussy The Punch Brothers perform Claude Debussy's "Passepied" from his Suite bergamasque, LIVE at The Kennedy Center.

Our Honors Memories series catches up with Honorees right after the Honors event to hear how they felt during tributes to their artistry, followed by a memorable performance from that night. For over 40 years, the Kennedy Center and the arts and entertainment world have gathered every December to fete the annual slate of Kennedy Center Honorees and their unparalleled influence on American culture. Given this year’s extraordinary circumstances, the Honors will be re-imagined to celebrate our cultural icons in an unconventional, hybrid format featuring a mix of virtual tributes and small-capacity, in-person live performances in the late spring. The slate of Honorees and event date for the 43rd Kennedy Center Honors will be announced at a later date.

Renée Fleming partnered with the Kennedy Center and National Institutes of Health (NIH) to find out what goes on inside the brain of a world class singer. In 2017, the Kennedy Center, the National Institutes of Health, and renowned soprano and Kennedy Center Artistic Advisor at Large Renée Fleming launched a new partnership designed to explore the connections between music, health, and wellness. The collaboration, spearheaded by Fleming, builds upon the performances that the National Symphony Orchestra has given at the NIH Clinical Center over the past several years, broadening the scope and bringing together the diverse artistic resources of the Kennedy Center with the scientific, clinical, and research expertise of the NIH. Says Renée Fleming: “A tremendous wealth of knowledge exists between the nation’s largest performing arts center and our largest health research institute. I hoped we could share and amplify the exciting work being done where science and music intersect, by bringing these two great institutions together for this initiative. There are ramifications here for a host of health topics: childhood development, autism, pain management, Alzheimer’s, PTSD—the list goes on and on, because music’s impact on the brain can be so powerful.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/7nS4u84ppf4 0 2018-01-13T16:32:52.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/CPSWf8u_-Gc/banda-dell’arma-dei-carabinieri---the-washington-post-|-live-at-the-kennedy-center 2018-06-05T21:19:56.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CPSWf8u_-Gc/maxresdefault.jpg Banda dell’Arma dei Carabinieri - "The Washington Post" | LIVE at The Kennedy Center Banda dell’Arma dei Carabinieri performs "The March King" John Philip Sousa's 1889 march "The Washington Post" LIVE at The Kennedy Center.

Occurring every few years, multiple American companies are invited to participate in a week-long celebration featuring performances from each company. In 2019, Ballet Across America was put together with the inspiration of women’s leadership in ballet and dance. To mark the celebration, the Center commissioned choreographer Pam Tanowitz to create a world premiere work for the week’s two participating companies, Dance Theatre of Harlem and Miami City Ballet; both are companies led by visionary women – Virginia Johnson at DTH and Lourdes Lopez in Miami. Tanowitz set the work on two dancers from each company, with a pianist on stage playing a solo work by the composer Caroline Shaw. The piece had its world premiere during Ballet Across America on May 31, 2019. This video captures the premiere performance.

National Guard Armory for a $100-a-plate dinner, and fundraising show titled An American Pageant of the Arts. President and Mrs. Kennedy started the event by addressing the crowd about the importance of the arts in fostering American culture and a healthy democracy. Afterwards, the master of ceremonies for the evening, Leonard Bernstein, introduced some of the country's greatest performers in music, literature, and comedy. Perhaps the most memorable moment from the pageant was the debut of a 7-year-old cello prodigy named Yo-Yo Ma. Accompanied by his 11-year-old sister on the piano, he performed Breval’s Concertino No. 3 in A Major for the President and assembled guests.

British composer John Ireland was an extremely careful composer who put a lot of thought into his work. During the dark days of World War II, he was asked by the British Broadcasting Corporation to write a march that might help strengthen the courage of the British people. Have you heard of Morse Code? That’s the combination of short and long sounds and flashes of lights and electrical pulses used to signal messages—super, secret messages. Well, the SSSL pattern also means the letter V—like in the word VICTORY—in Morse Code. For sure, Ireland used the SSSL motif in his “Epic March” to comfort the British people that they would win the war. (By the way, they did!) Listen carefully for these dramatic four notes repeated throughout the music. Part of "Reach for the Moon: John F. Kennedy's Vision and Courage," a Young People's Concert.

The Ailey company has typically performed it with either an all-female or all-male cast; for its return to the Ailey repertory during the 2017-18 season, it will be performed by female dancers. Set to an inventive score which incorporates drumming by Junior "Gabu" Wedderburn and poetry by Hattie Gossett and Laurie Carlos, Shelter delivers the compelling message that the poverty of individuals will inevitably lead to the destitution of all humanity. Now more than ever, the world needs the power of dance to bring people together and connect us all by our common humanity. For its annual Kennedy Center engagement, the beloved company will continue to push the art form into fascinating new territory, with multiple programs as unique and phenomenal as the Ailey dancers themselves.

Mendive works across media—including paint, wood, and organic matter—to create art that is strongly influenced by the Santería religion, expressing ways in which African heritage has shaped his country’s national identity and culture. Fragmento de Paisaje is a series of dreamscapes where people, animals, plants, and clouds morph into one another, reflecting his vision of the universe as one. Commissioned for the festival, "La Naturaleza, El Espíritu, y El Hombre" (Nature, Spirit, and Man) represents a new artistic direction for Mendive, who has crafted three-dimensional sculptures that may be experienced from both the interior and exterior.

Kennedy and poet Walt Whitman in this concert celebration of JFK's monumental legacy. Led by conductor Joshua Weilerstein in his National Symphony Orchestra debut, this concert celebration of John F. Kennedy's monumental legacy features a world premiere from Kennedy Center Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates. Passage examines the theme of American exploration through the visionary words of Walt Whitman and John F. Kennedy. Composed for renowned mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke and the NSO, the work imaginatively sets Whitman's "Passage to India" alongside recorded fragments of JFK's moonshot speech. Two iconic American voices—that of poet and President—come together on a journey to the ever-expanding human frontier. This event is part of JFKC: A Centennial Celebration of John F. Kennedy, inspired by five enduring ideals often ascribed to JFK: Courage, Freedom, Justice, Service, and Gratitude.

The story is told of how Elgar, returning home from giving violin lessons, sat down at the piano and, to unwind, began improvising. Alice commented favourably on the tune that emerged and Elgar responded by suggesting how certain of their friends might play it. Out of that spontaneous exchange grew the idea of the Enigma Variations, the work that finally secured Elgar's reputation as a composer of national, even international, standing. It remains one of the most popular works in the classical repertoire. - Third Variation - R.B.T. Richard Baxter Townshend, a friend whose caricature of an old man in an amateur theatre production is captured in the variation. - Sixth Variation - Ysobel Isabel Fitton, an amateur viola player from a musical family living in Malvern. - Eleventh Variation - G.R.S. George Sinclair, organist at Hereford Cathedral, although the variation allegedly portrays Sinclair's bulldog Dan paddling in the River Wye after falling in.

"Passage" examines the theme of American exploration through the visionary words of Walt Whitman and John F. Kennedy. Composed for renowned mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke and the NSO, the work imaginatively sets Whitman's "Passage to India" alongside recorded fragments of JFK's moonshot speech. Two iconic American voices—that of poet and President—come together on a journey to the ever-expanding human frontier. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WL2tEVN2B-A 0 2018-01-23T15:45:55.000Z Latest https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com https://site-389051.bcvp0rtal.com/detail/video/GZl7f_zxo4c/sammy-miller-and-the-congregation---li-l-liza-jane-|-live-at-the-kennedy-center 2018-04-30T19:04:33.000Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GZl7f_zxo4c/maxresdefault.jpg Sammy Miller and the Congregation - "Li'l Liza Jane" | LIVE at The Kennedy Center Sammy Miller and the Congregation put a fresh and energizing spin on the jazz standard "Li'l Liza Jane."
