•Apollo by George Balanchine
•A World Premiere by Jessica Lang
Created in 1928, Apollo is George Balanchine’s oldest surviving ballet. It was his first great success and marked the beginning of his lifelong partnership with Igor Stravinsky, who conceived of and composed the score as a ballet. In this quintessential example of Balanchine’s spare, neoclassical choreographic style, the young god Apollo is visited and instructed by three muses – Calliope, Muse of poetry; Polyhymnia, Muse of mime; and Terpsichore, Muse of dance and song. Paired with this Balanchine classic is an eagerly awaited world premiere.
Audience favorite, Jessica Lang (To Familiar Spaces in Dream, A Maiden’s Hymn, La Belle Danse, Women and the Sea: A Tribute to Will Barnet) returns to create her fifth commissioned world premiere for Richmond Ballet. Known for her visually compelling and emotionally powerful ballets, Lang is a rising star in the dance world, with works in the repertories of American Ballet…

A legend in her own time, Mahalia Jackson (1911-1972) continues to be celebrated as a pioneer of gospel tradition. Her impassioned contralto was one of the most memorable voices of the 20th century, inspiring individuals for whom gospel represented the only true music, as well as the general public.
Throughout her life Jackson remained solely committed to gospel, declining to explore other means of vocal expression. Yet her rousing, soulful, and gut-wrenching renditions drawn from the church repertoire provided the creative impetus for musicians of all stripes, including performers of rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Little Richard called her "the true queen of spiritual singers."
The African-American Repertory Theatre (AART), under the artistic direction of Derome Scott Smith, invites you to experience the unbridled joy and profound spirituality of Mahalia Jackson's life in song with AART's season opener Mahalia: A Gospel Musical.

The show runs through Sunday, December 20th.
"Making extradordinary of the ordinary, this body of work features images of architectural elements of buildings experienced in daily travels yet go unnoticed. They have been identified for renovation and in some cases the processes have already started. The change is an effort to make them noticeable once again."
"Buildings have always intrigued me. Old ones with the sweet smell of lead paint and old pine timbers. The rusty artifacts resting in their dusty perimeter. Or the forgotten vegetation that casts overgrown shadows and cuts strange beams of sun through an interior. The light traffic on lost streets. It's mine. I take it home to preserve.".

November 9th - December 31st.
One of the most significant events in the history of the 20th century was the attempt by Nazi Germany to annihilate the Jewish people. This horrific time with the murder of 6 million Jews plus millions of others considered undesirable by the Nazi regime, left a painful void that will never be healed. As an artist, I have attempted to portray in visual form the history, experiences and the emotions of this time and the devastating impact the Holocaust has had and continues to have.
For many years I have been given both the privilege and awesome responsibility to portray in sculpture the memories and experiences of Holocaust survivors. They have entrusted me to tell for them what they feel is imperative for the world to remember. It is the goal of both the survivors and the artist to teach the lessons so that never again will the world turn a blind eye to the suffering and atrocities inflicted on others.

Free.
Eugene Trani, former president of Virginia Commonwealth University, will discuss and sign his latest book with writing partner Donald E. Davis, Professor Emeritus of History at Illinois State University.
Distorted Mirrors traces American prejudices toward the two countries in the title by focusing on the views of influential writers and politicians over the course of the 20th century. The authors show where American images of Russia and China originated, how they evolved, and how they have often helped sustain foreign policies generally negative toward the former and positive toward the latter.
The book marks a fresh approach to U.S. relations with these countries, emphasizing long-term attitudes that influenced policies rather than the reverse. It shows us that perceptions shaped over the course of the 20th century are crucial for their bearing on the 21st century, particularly if those unrestrained prejudices reemerge.

Reckless Kelly - http://www.recklesskelly.com/
The album art on Reckless Kelly’s new release, Bulletproof (June 24, Yep Roc), is a semi-faithful rendition of the homemade armor Australian outlaw and band namesake Ned “Reckless” Kelly wore during his final police shootout. But don’t assume that imagery and album title represent the Austin-based band’s propensity for shoot-’em-ups, horse-thievin’ or similarly dangerous behavior; their badass streak is manifested mainly in their fiercely incredible ability to rock out, and their “outlaw” credentials stretch about as far as their appreciation for outlaw country.
Scott Miller - http://www.thescottmiller.com/
Scott Miller blends folk and rock like there ain’t no words for. The power of storytelling with the power of a compressed electric guitar comes through this Virginian not heard since the likes of Wayne Newton (fellow Virginian) or The Statler Brothers (also of the Commonwealth.)

A legend in her own time, Mahalia Jackson (1911-1972) continues to be celebrated as a pioneer of gospel tradition. Her impassioned contralto was one of the most memorable voices of the 20th century, inspiring individuals for whom gospel represented the only true music, as well as the general public.
Throughout her life Jackson remained solely committed to gospel, declining to explore other means of vocal expression. Yet her rousing, soulful, and gut-wrenching renditions drawn from the church repertoire provided the creative impetus for musicians of all stripes, including performers of rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Little Richard called her "the true queen of spiritual singers."
The African-American Repertory Theatre (AART), under the artistic direction of Derome Scott Smith, invites you to experience the unbridled joy and profound spirituality of Mahalia Jackson's life in song with AART's season opener Mahalia: A Gospel Musical.

The show emulates the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, in its presentation of Lipizzans, and maintains a traditional as well as entertaining performance similar in many ways to what you would see at the Spanish Riding School of Vienna.
Also included in the performance is a segment called the "Airs Above the Ground." These are the spectacular leaps and maneuvers, once used by riders in saddle to protect and defend themselves on the battlefield, which are now preserved as an equestrian work of art.

Richmond poets Shann Palmer and Tom Sanchez Prunier read their verses of Americana, family, love, hate and other stuff.
Shann Palmer is the person shouting/writing "Support your local poets!" and is a former vice president of the Poetry Society of Virginia. She helped found Shockoe Poets, Richmond's longest-running poetry open mic and SlamRichmond, the first poetry slam to send poets from the River City to the National Poetry Slam. Shann has published several chapbooks and CDs and was recently featured at Richmond's "Art After Hours" series.
Tom Sanchez Prunier entered poetry through the side door of slam and fell in love with manipulating language. He founded SlamRichmond and was a participant in the 2007 National Poetry Slam, where he was also a quarterfinalist in the National Head-to-Head Haiku competition. Tom published his first chapbook, "Die Minivan Die," and has had work published in numerous journals and recently was an honorable mention in The Legendary's Bukowski contest.

A legend in her own time, Mahalia Jackson (1911-1972) continues to be celebrated as a pioneer of gospel tradition. Her impassioned contralto was one of the most memorable voices of the 20th century, inspiring individuals for whom gospel represented the only true music, as well as the general public.
Throughout her life Jackson remained solely committed to gospel, declining to explore other means of vocal expression. Yet her rousing, soulful, and gut-wrenching renditions drawn from the church repertoire provided the creative impetus for musicians of all stripes, including performers of rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Little Richard called her "the true queen of spiritual singers."
The African-American Repertory Theatre (AART), under the artistic direction of Derome Scott Smith, invites you to experience the unbridled joy and profound spirituality of Mahalia Jackson's life in song with AART's season opener Mahalia: A Gospel Musical.

Narrows - http://www.myspace.com/narrows
Spread out across both the United States and two continents, Narrows exists despite geographical inconveniences for the sole purpose of creating devastating noise. Though outside obligations will most likely relegate the live Narrows experience to a truly rare event, the shared need to exorcise their collective demons fuels the trans-global project.
Dave Verellen (Botch, Roy), Rob Moran (Unbroken, Some Girls, Over My Dead Body), Ryan Frederiksen (These Arms Are Snakes, Nineironspitfire), Jodie Cox (Tropics, Rohame, Bullet Union), and Sam Stothers (Makeout Boys, Quarantine) are busy men with busy lives. The Narrows project is not meant to define and drive their individual lives.
Rather, the band serves as a respite; a rare opportunity to escape; a vengeful howl from the basest corner of the psyche. In those rare moments when the five men find themselves in the same city, the quintet seizes the opportunity to combine their disparate t…

Mumiy Troll began as “one of the most socially dangerous bands in the world” as noted by a local Communist party chief; yet, was hailed as “Best Band of the Millennium” by leading Russian music critics after the fall of communism. Mumiy Troll began playing club dates in Siberia in their hometown of Vladivostock and steadily built a large fan base that now packs arenas in Moscow and St. Petersburg as well as the Baltic States. Having played over 1,000 gigs since the turn of the century, and boasting a back catalogue of eight full-length CDs, Mumiy Troll are the most influential and successful independent artists in Russia today.

Few artists make an impact as complete as the one Matisyahu made with his Top 40 hit “King Without a Crown”: Here was a true original, the song announced—a Hasidic Jewish musician from New York City singing reggae songs about his religious devotion.
Fans responded to this one-of-a-kind voice, driving Youth, Matisyahu’s Grammy-nominated 2006 studio disc, to the top spot on Billboard’s reggae albums chart. That album, as well as Matisahu’s previous recording "Live at Stubb’s," went Gold. His new album, "Light," which debuted in the top 20 on the Billboard charts, is out now on Epic Records.
