FROM THE EXECUTIVE AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
elcome to another busy weekend at Cal Performances!
W On Thursday evening, the combined vocal forces of the
Manhattan Transfer and Take 6 (Mar 17)—10 voices with
20 Grammys between them—will fill Zellerbach Hall with their trade-
mark crystalline harmonies, stirring gospel rhythms, and soaring
melodies. The bands’ current tour is a hit with audiences and critics
alike, with a recent concert in Maryland praised as “an explosion, in
gale wind proportions, of musical enjoyment, creative genius, vocal
excellence and a boatload of fun” (DC Metro).
Next, acclaimed choreographer Michelle Dorrance and her com-
pany Dorrance Dance (Mar 18–19) arrive in town with a program
Jeremy Geffen
that demonstrates how powerfully movement and music can be en-
twined in the bodies of expert dancers. Dorrance’s brilliant
SOUNDspace, adapted on this occasion for the unique qualities of Zellerbach Playhouse, soars as a
powerful tribute to the history and legacy of tap dancing and features both Dorrance’s own chore-
ography and solo improvisation by company members. This remarkable program reminds us that
“If the idea of tap dance makes you think of stale musicals from the early 20th century, Michelle
Dorrance is eager to shatter your assumptions” (Broadway World Washington).
Finally, in a true season highlight, the mighty London Symphony Orchestra (Mar 20), under
the direction of luminary conductor Sir Simon Rattle, provides an afternoon of unsurpassed sym-
phonic music on Sunday afternoon at Zellerbach Hall. The wide-ranging program is almost an
embarrassment of riches, packed with masterworks by Berlioz, Sibelius, Bartók, and Ravel, along
with a more recent audience favorite, The Spark Catchers, by the brilliant British composer Hannah
Kendall. Trust me—in terms of memorable symphonic music, it doesn’t get better than this.
March marks the time of year that traditionally finds Cal Performances operating on all cylin-
ders. From now through the beginning of May, the remainder of our 2021–22 season is packed
with adventurous programming. You won’t want to miss…
• pianist extraordinaire Mitsuko Uchida playing and directing Mozart with the Mahler
Chamber Orchestra (Mar 27)
• the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (Mar 29 – Apr 3), returning to Zellerbach Hall for
the first time since the initial pandemic shutdown in 2020; this year’s Ailey programs—fea-
turing more than a dozen works from the company’s legendary repertory—have only re-
cently been announced, so make sure to check our website for details
• the renowned English Baroque Soloists with conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner in a trans-
fixing program of works by Mozart and Haydn (Apr 10)
• Angélique Kidjo, our 2021–22 artist-in-residence, in her new music-theater piece Yemandja
(a much-anticipated Cal Performances co-commission and Illuminations event, Apr 23).
Fasten your seatbelts; we have all of this—plus much more—in store for you!
We’re very proud of our updated winter brochure and know that a few minutes spent review-
ing our schedule—in print or online—will reveal a wealth of options for your calendar; now is the
perfect time to guarantee that you have the best seats for all the events you plan to attend.
I know you join us in looking forward to what lies ahead, and to coming together once again
to encounter the life-changing experiences that only the live performing arts deliver. We can’t wait
to share it all with you during the coming months.
Jeremy Geffen
Executive and Artistic Director, Cal Performances
