  • Notes: Sean Fleming and the Dam ‘Rag Orchestra Present “Real Ragtime” Friday, October 28 @ 7:30PM Sean Fleming, the “Dam’ Rag Scotta Orchestra,” the “Raggy Dancers,” and the Lincoln Theater are finalizing their preparations for the “Real Ragtime” concert on Friday, Oct 28 at 7:30PM. During its heyday, roughly spanning from 1900 to 1920, Rag music was normally played as dance music. In keeping with the concert’s name of “Real Ragtime” it was decided to get even more real by including actual dancing as an integral part of the program. During the concert, there will also be a tutorial for any and all audience volunteers brave enough to learn new dance steps in front of a bunch of onlookers. For that matter, whether you know rag dancing or not, anyone is free to get up and dance to the music their own way. That is what Ragtime music is for. The concert is a benefit for upgrades to the Lincoln Theater’s audio systems. While some of this work has already been completed, more still has to be done, including purchasing the PA loudspeakers to be permanently installed. This is something the theater has been lacking which has prevented accommodating various events and hindered others from achieving better results. When this phase of the work is done, the theater will have first-class film, video, and live audio systems to help ensure an enjoyable entertainment experience for both audiences and performers alike. Ticket prices are $15 for Adults, $10 for Youth under 18, and Free for Children under 12. Tickets are going fast for this popular group, so call us soon!

  • Notes: The Bowdoin Chorus and Mozart Mentors Orchestra, under the direction of Anthony Antolini, will present the New England premiere of Karl Jenkins’ Requiem on Thursday, May 3, and Friday, May 4, at 7:30 p.m. at Studzinski Recital Hall on the Bowdoin College campus. The concerts are free and tickets are not required. The theme of the concert is “Death and Heaven.” In addition to the Jenkins Requiem the chorus will perform four spirituals arranged by William Dawson about preparing to go to heaven or imagining what it will be like. The decision to perform the Jenkins Requiem was made shortly after the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster hit Japan on March 11, 2011. The Jenkins work melds the traditional western Requiem text (a funeral service) with Japanese haiku on the subject of death. It will be performed as a memorial to those who lost their lives in that disaster. Jenkins is a Welsh composer who began his musical career as an oboist, then attended the Royal Academy of Music in London. For much of his early career he was known as a jazz-rock musician. He then became a successful composer of music for television advertisements. His Requiem was composed in 2005. The haiku movements are sung in Japanese by a women’s chorus and are accompanied by the shakuhachi, an ancient Japanese bamboo flute. Virtuoso shakuhachi player Ralph Samuelson of New York City will be the featured soloist. Samuelson was trained in the classical tradition of the Kinko School under the tutelage of the late Living National Treasure Goro Yamaguchi, as well as by Shudo Yamato and Kodo Araki V. He began shakuhachi studies in 1969 as a graduate student in the World Music Program at Wesleyan University and studied traditional music in Tokyo in the 1970s under the guidance of musicologist Fumio Koizumi. Samuelson has performed in leading concert venues in New York, around the United States, and in Europe and Asia and has recorded for many labels. Since 1976 Samuelson has also worked as a foundation professional facilitating and supporting international cultural exchange, and from 1991 to 2008 he served as director of the Asian Cultural Council, a foundation supporting exchanges in the arts and humanities between the United States and Asia. The Requiem is scored for chorus, female soloists, shakuhachi, two French horns, timpani, percussion, harp and strings. The Bowdoin Chorus is composed of students, alumni, faculty, staff and Brunswick area community members. The Mozart Mentors Orchestra, in its second season, is made up of Maine string teachers and their top students, ranging in age from 10 to 18.
