The production\, remounted from the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis premiere in 2019\, was experienced by 30\,000 people\, not to mention hundreds of thousands more around the world who watched The MET: LIVE in HD rebroadcasts. Notably\, The Met restaged “Fire” again in the 2023-2024 season as a testament to its unparalleled success and achievement.  \n\n\n\nBlanchard is already a celebrated artist with seven Grammy® Awards\, two Oscar® nominations\, numerous acclaimed film scores and albums\, and his recent appointment as Executive Artistic Director for SFJazz\, but with this work\, he created a new cultural paradigm\, breaking barriers along the way. Based on the 2014 memoir of the same name by The New York Times columnist\, Charles M. Blow\, the story is an excavation of a painful past and the desire to move beyond it.  \n\n\n\nThis “concert excerpt” version\, adapted for Terence Blanchard and his band\, the E-Collective\, features the intrepid Turtle Island String Quartet and guest soloists\, plus visuals by Andrew F. Scott. This work reveals the depths of Blanchard’s capacity to create a new musical world filled with pathos\, humanity\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nPerformed by Terence Blanchard and The E-CollectiveFeaturing Turtle Island Quartet and vocalists Adrienne Danrich and Norman GarrettLibretto by Kasi LemmonsBased on the book by Charles M.

SUMMARY:A Conversation With Yo-Yo Ma
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation With Yo-Yo Ma\nJeffrey Brown\, PBS NewsHour Correspondent\, moderator\n\n\n\nPresented by the Purdue Presidential Lecture Series\n\n\n\nPowered by Purdue Convocations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTANDBY SEATING\n\n\n\nThis event is sold out. If you do not have a free ticket\, a designated standby line will be formed outside Elliott Hall if additional seating becomes available. \nIMPORTANT ENTRY INFO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE EVENT\nPurdue University President Mung Chiang and the Purdue Presidential Lecture Series present the renowned cellist\, recording artist\, and humanitarian leader Yo-Yo Ma in a special engagement moderated by PBS NewsHour correspondent Jeffrey Brown. Through personal anecdotes\, thoughtful inquiry\, and musical interludes\, Yo-Yo Ma explores how culture can help us all seek truth\, build trust and act in service of one another. \n\n\n\nYo-Yo Ma’s multi-faceted career is testament to his belief in culture’s power to generate trust and understanding. Whether performing new or familiar works for cello\, bringing communities together to explore culture’s role in society\, or engaging unexpected musical forms\, Yo-Yo strives to foster connections that stimulate the imagination and reinforce our humanity. Among his many roles\, Yo-Yo is a United Nations Messenger of Peace and the first artist ever appointed to the World Economic Forum’s board of trustees. His discography of more than 120 albums (including 19 Grammy Award winners) ranges from iconic renditions of the Western classical canon to recordings that defy categorization.   \n\n\n\nYo-Yo was born in 1955 to Chinese parents living in Paris. He began to study the cello with his father at age four and three years later moved with his family to New York City\, where he continued his cello studies at the Juilliard School before pursuing a liberal arts education at Harvard. He has received numerous awards\, including the Avery Fisher Prize (1978)\, the National Medal of the Arts (2001)\, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2010)\, Kennedy Center Honors (2011)\, the Polar Music Prize (2012)\, and the Birgit Nilsson Prize (2022). He has performed for nine American presidents\, most recently on the occasion of President Biden’s inauguration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt sounds superhuman\, but it was just the opposite. It was fully human\, perfect and imperfect at the same time\, easy and difficult\, marked by attempt and reward. This is Ma’s skill. He doesn’t make his music something to marvel at. He makes it a gift. Created for you himself. The Denver Post \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeffrey Brown\, PBS NewsHour Correspondent \nModerator\n\n\n\nJeffrey Brown\, in a career spanning 30 years with PBS’s NewsHour\, has served as co-anchor\, studio moderator\, and field reporter on a wide range of national and international issues around the nation and globe. He has profiled many of the world’s leading writers\, musicians\, actors\, and artists\, and led inquiry into the status of cultural heritage in the United States and abroad.   \n\n\n\n\nPurdue University President Mung Chiang \n“Arts connects and inspires. Purdue is a university in the fullest sense when we welcome distinguished artists to our campus\,” Purdue President Mung Chiang said. “It is particularly exciting to announce the unique Presidential Lecture Series event with Yo-Yo Ma\, a living legend in the world of music and humanity.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPICK5 + SAVE Did you know that if you buy 5 shows or more (not 5 tickets)\, you save an average of 15% off single-ticket prices?

SUMMARY:Grandmaster Flash

NOW COMING TO PURDUE ON NOV. 4TH! LEARN MORE\n\n\n\nABOUT THE SHOW\n\n\nWho knows what hip-hop would sound like without Grandmaster Flash? A musical pioneer in every sense of the word\, Flash transformed the turntable into an expressive and complex instrument\, and introduced the world to record scratching\, beat juggling\, and breaks. His mastery of these techniques elevated DJ’ing to an art form\, while his legendary parties in the South Bronx became the cradle of hip-hop culture. \n\n\n\nThis audiovisual lecture/demonstration is an educational\, entertaining\, and interactive experience that takes you on a journey with one of the founding fathers of hip-hop. As the architect of the quick mix theory\, Grandmaster Flash will show you how as a teenager\, he used his knowledge of electronic repair to experiment with different styles and techniques and bridge the gap between musical genres—incorporating elements of funk\, soul\, and disco into his mixes. Now\, as we celebrate 50 years of hip-hop\, a whole new generation will experience a once in a lifetime hip-hop history lesson from one of the creators and legends in the genre. \n\n\n\nServing as host and panelist will be Dr. Marlo David\, director of African American Studies and Research Center in Purdue University College of Liberal Arts. Matthew Joseph\, postdoctoral research assistant in belonging\, equity\, and inclusion in Purdue’s John Martinson Honors College\, will serve as a panelist for the event.  \nVISIT ARTIST WEBSITE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA party in the Bronx on August 11th\, 1973 is widely considered to be the birthplace of hip-hop.
