One of ballet's most charming stories, Coppélia is the comic tale of villagers Swanhilda, her beau Franz, and their encounter with the mysterious toy shop owner, Dr. Coppelius. Swanhilda and Franz's love story is interrupted when Franz turns his gaze to the beautiful girl sitting on Dr. Coppelius' balcony, but she doesn't seem to recognize his advances...in fact, she doesn't seem to move or talk at all because she is really a doll!
While a case of mistaken identity, zany dancing toys, and traditional folk dance ensue, a beautiful classical ballet emerges. Audiences will enjoy Frederic Franklin's lively choreography, all danced to the animated score by Leo Delibes, making this a perfect Valentine's present for the whole family!

Biograph Theatre 40th Anniversary at VCU Grace Street Theater
On its 40th anniversary, the Biograph Theatre, or perhaps something akin to its reanimated spirit, will serve up a pair of highly acclaimed films as a double feature.
In other words, the James River Film Society will present "Breathless" - a 50th anniversary restoration 35mm print no less -- and "Lonely Are the Brave".
This splendid on-the-lam twin bill is guaranteed to make viewers think no less than twice.
Film Blurbs:
Breathless (1960): B&W. Directed by Jean-Luc Godard. Cast: Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean Seberg. Note: An opportunistic thief on the run becomes irresistible to a pretty American journalism student in Paris. Uh, oh, the guy is dangerous. How long can it last?
Lonely Are the Brave (1962): B&W. Directed by David Miller. Cast: Kirk Douglas, Gena Rowlands, Walter Matthau. Note: To help his friend, a free-spirited cowboy flings himself recklessly at the hobbling effects of modernity … then tries desperately to escape.
Breathless, based on a story by François Truffaut, did much to set…

Biohazard - http://www.last.fm/music/Biohazard
Biohazard was one of the first bands to regularly incorporate elements of both hip-hop and hardcore metal into their sound; since their lyrical fare dealt with the harshness of urban life and the resulting anger and frustration, which both genres of music have been known to address, the connection only made sense, especially in light of Anthrax's highly effective collaboration with Public Enemy on 1991's "Bring the Noise.".

Red - http://redmusiconline.com/
The epic quest of finding one's identity might be one of the most universal themes found in the pursuit of art. The hopeless wandering replaced by the hope-filled breakthrough has been chronicled time and again in painting, sculpture, prose, poetry, film and, certainly, music.
The men who make up the rock band RED have been through those trials themselves. They've taken those experiences to heart, mixed them with a plethora of influences – be they observations on art they admire, or communications with fans they adore – and now burst forth with a dynamic new set of songs geared toward finding who we truly are, inside and out.

Kenyatta Hill - http://reverbnation.com/kenyattaculturehill
“Take My Hands is the first song on this album which is done by Kenyatta. Just like his father Kenyatta has a great vocal skill. The song is a nice sing-a-long with upbeat riddim. Mighty Race is almost as if Joseph himself song this tune, the song is definitely one of the gems on the album. Daddy is the first tune Kenyatta ever made, it's a tribute to his father and the greatest tune on the album.

“From the second I popped it into my system, instant classic. Already one of my favorite albums...period, and never to leave my stereo or collection again. If your ready for an experience you will not soon forget, buy this album and support the real artists out there in the world. Blazing Hot Fyah will forever be an anthem in my mind, I encourage you to listen, nah better yet, spread the word about this.

August: Osage County by Tracy Letts
February 17-March 10, 2012
Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 4pm
http://www.cadencetheatre.org/
One of the most bracing and critically acclaimed plays in recent Broadway history, August: Osage County is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest—and absolute worst. When the patriarch disappears one night, the family reunites and long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed.
August: Osage County originally premiered at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre. The New York Times calls it “flat-out, no asterisks and without qualifications, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years.”

August: Osage County by Tracy Letts
February 17-March 10, 2012
Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 4pm
http://www.cadencetheatre.org/
One of the most bracing and critically acclaimed plays in recent Broadway history, August: Osage County is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest—and absolute worst. When the patriarch disappears one night, the family reunites and long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed.
August: Osage County originally premiered at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre. The New York Times calls it “flat-out, no asterisks and without qualifications, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years.”

Tickets - http://www.richmondsymphony.com/tickets.asp
Program Repertoire
John Adams ~ The Chairman Dances: Foxtrot for Orchestra
Mendelssohn ~ Die erste Walpurgisnacht
Beethoven ~ Symphony No. 7 in A Major
Perspective from Steven Smith
Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 makes powerful use of the repetition of small melodic and rhythmic fragments to build a work of stupendous energy and excitement. This is not all that different than the work of current American “Minimalist” composer John Adams, who created his landmark opera “Nixon in China” as a series of imaginative scenarios depicting the historic visit of Richard Nixon to Red China. The dream sequence that is excerpted as The Chairman Dances uses a very similar repetitive rhythmic propulsion as Beethoven’s symphony nearly two centuries earlier.

August: Osage County by Tracy Letts
February 17-March 10, 2012
Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 4pm
http://www.cadencetheatre.org/
One of the most bracing and critically acclaimed plays in recent Broadway history, August: Osage County is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest—and absolute worst. When the patriarch disappears one night, the family reunites and long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed.
August: Osage County originally premiered at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre. The New York Times calls it “flat-out, no asterisks and without qualifications, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years.”
Produced by Cadence Theatre Company in partnership with Barksdale's Theatre Gym

Program Repertoire
John Adams ~ The Chairman Dances: Foxtrot for Orchestra
Mendelssohn ~ Die erste Walpurgisnacht
Beethoven ~ Symphony No. 7 in A Major
Perspective from Steven Smith
Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 makes powerful use of the repetition of small melodic and rhythmic fragments to build a work of stupendous energy and excitement. This is not all that different than the work of current American “Minimalist” composer John Adams, who created his landmark opera “Nixon in China” as a series of imaginative scenarios depicting the historic visit of Richard Nixon to Red China. The dream sequence that is excerpted as The Chairman Dances uses a very similar repetitive rhythmic propulsion as Beethoven’s symphony nearly two centuries earlier.

"The Lion King" at Landmark Theater
A Broadway in Richmond Performance
Experience the phenomenon. Richmond’s most eagerly awaited stage production ever will leap onto the Landmark Theater stage next season. Visually stunning, technically astounding and with a musical score like none other you’ve ever heard.
Giraffes strut, birds swoop, gazelles leap. The entire savannah comes to life and as the music soars, Pride Rock slowly emerges from the mist.
See the Tony Award-winning Broadway sensation that Newsweek calls “a landmark event in entertainment.” The New York Times says, “There is simply nothing else like it.”
Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals brought to life by a cast of more than 40 actors. Wonder at the inspiration of award-winning director Julie Taymor, who created visual images for this show that you’ll remember forever.
Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pridelands and an unforgettable score including Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar-winning song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life…

Colt Ford - http://coltford.com/
With his imposing physique, larger than life personality, and outrageous videos, it could be easy to lose something important in Colt Ford's ample shadow: the music. But make no mistake, Colt Ford is a musician. A natural drummer, he is as comfortable laying down a beat as he is in front of the mic, singing and talking honestly about the country life he and his devoted audiences have in common.

Lights - http://music.iamlights.com/
When electro-rock sensation Lights first hit the music scene in 2008, she was just a songwriter with a synth and a dream. Her name may have been pluralized but Lights Poxleitner was a one-woman show who played and programmed her own instruments and sang her own lyrics.
This admirable self-reliance is rare in pop—in fact, Lights, signed a publishing deal at 16 and began writing songs for other artists—but after her 2008 self-titled debut EP (precocious enough to earn her a best new artist Juno) and gold-selling full-length follow-up The Listening, Lights was ready to open herself up to collaborations on her unexpectedly experimental album Siberia. And by choosing such leftfield collaborators as live electronic outfit Holy Fuck and rising rapper Shad, she also opened up her sound.

August: Osage County by Tracy Letts
February 17-March 10, 2012
Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 4pm
http://www.cadencetheatre.org/
One of the most bracing and critically acclaimed plays in recent Broadway history, August: Osage County is a portrait of the dysfunctional American family at its finest—and absolute worst. When the patriarch disappears one night, the family reunites and long-held secrets are unflinchingly and uproariously revealed.

Purity Ring - http://thepurityring.tumblr.com/
Purity Ring is the futuristic pop project of Corin Roddick and Megan James. Purity Ring makes lullabies for the club, drawing equally from airy 90s r&b, lush dream pop, and the powerful immediacy of the very best modern indie pop. Megan James' remarkable voice is at once ecstatic and ethereal, soaring joyfully through Roddick's carefully chopped beats, trembling synths, and past her perfect counterpoint – a ghostly pitched-down vocal which both underscores hooks and renders the entire musical backdrop beautifully alien.

Boston-based Taang! Records immediately picked up on The Lemonheads, with three college radio pleasers to follow: the LPs Hate Your Friends (1987), Creator (1988), and Lick (1989). In 1990 Atlantic Records took notice of the massively expanding Lemonheads fanbase in Europe (where they toured in 1989) and America by signing the band and releasing their well-received (in Cambridge, Massachusetts) fourth LP, Lovey.

"The Lion King" at Landmark Theater
A Broadway in Richmond Performance
Experience the phenomenon. Richmond’s most eagerly awaited stage production ever will leap onto the Landmark Theater stage next season. Visually stunning, technically astounding and with a musical score like none other you’ve ever heard.

August: Osage County by Tracy Letts

August: Osage County originally premiered at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre. The New York Times calls it “flat-out, no asterisks and without qualifications, the most exciting new American play Broadway has seen in years.”

Composed largely of transplants to the Seattle area, The Head and the Heart write and play songs that speak to the newness of a fresh start, of the ghosts left behind, of moving forward, all brimming with a soulfulness and hope for a better life than the one we've all been sold.
Stylistically, think a folksy Beatles or Crosby Stills Nash & Young with more instrumental force. Catchy piano melodies stand side by side with a tight trio of harmonies, and solid minimalist drums, groovin bass, and plenty of hand percussion and foot stomps make the live show inspiring and really goddamn fun.
