But before she struck that barefoot pose near the window while her cat\, Telemachus\, almost stole the shot\, King penned a slew of 1960s hits for pop\, R&B and rock royalty\, starting with “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” by the Shirelles and then rounding out the decade with “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” for the Queen of Soul herself\, Aretha Franklin. These songs and many more penned by King—like James Taylor’s “You’ve Got a Friend”—fuel this jukebox of a musical that will make you “Feel the Earth Move.”\n\n \n\nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/beautiful-the-carole-king-musical/ LOCATION:Elliott Hall of Music\, 712 3rd Street\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Broadway & Musicals ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/1920x600-15.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4279028;-86.9149598 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Elliott Hall of Music 712 3rd Street West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=712 3rd Street:geo:-86.9149598,40.4279028 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220306T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220306T150000 DTSTAMP:20260420T204904 CREATED:20211008T010000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220225T144558Z UID:10000340-1646578800-1646578800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Beatrice Rana DESCRIPTION:Beatrice RanaPiano \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRSVP \n\n\n\nGROUP ORDER FORM\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSensitivity\, sophistication and control\, along with a touch of magic. The New York Times\n\n\n\nThe New York Times hailed young Italian pianist Beatrice Rana as “one of the most insightful and prodigiously gifted artists of the new generation.” In 2013\, she earned the Silver Prize and Audience Award at the prestigious Van Cliburn competition. Since then\, this Gramophone award-winning artist has headlined Lincoln Center\, Carnegie Hall\, Kennedy Center and venues worldwide. Rana delivers ravishing performances as instinctively human as they are intellectually engaged with compositional subtext. Her Convos program will highlight the technical and emotional complexities of Frédéric Chopin’s four scherzos\, ranging from tranquil and tender to terse and tense; a series of Claude Debussy études the composer considered suitable only for “remarkable hands”; and a deep exploration of emotional dissonance in an excerpt from Igor Stravinsky’s Petrushka ballet. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nFrédéric Chopin: Scherzo No. 1 in B minor\, Op. 20 \n\n\n\nChopin: Scherzo No. 2 in B-flat minor\, Op. 31 \n\n\n\nChopin: Scherzo No. 3 in C-sharp minor\, Op. 39 \n\n\n\nChopin: Scherzo No. 4 in E major\, Op. 54 \n\n\n\nClaude Debussy: Études\, Book 1 \n\n\n\nIgor Stravinsky: Petrushka URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/beatrice-rana-piano/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Chamber Music,Music,Piano ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/400x425-10.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220303T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220303T193000 DTSTAMP:20260420T204904 CREATED:20211008T010000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211110T212400Z UID:10000300-1646335800-1646335800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Macbeth DESCRIPTION:Imagine a tragic tale about the physical and psychological toll of political ambition and power-mongering. Does that sound eerily current or quaintly historic? Or is it simply that the themes of Shakespeare’s classic “Scottish Play” remain eminently applicable after 400-plus years? Palace intrigue and shocking betrayals are nothing new. However\, the highly regarded Aquila Theatre will make the relevance surprisingly fresh with their creative vision of this classic. Having toured nationwide for decades\, Aquila continues to earn recognition\, as famed producer and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda recently invited them to celebrate the National Endowment for the Arts in the U.S. Capitol. This electrifying rendition of Macbeth is keenly aware that a certain sound and fury persists. \n\n\n\nThis performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to present a two-production residency with Aquila Theatre Company—featuring The Great Gatsby and Macbeth. Following engagements in prior seasons with productions of Frankenstein\, The Odyssey and 1984\, Convocations will again engender deep curricular engagement across campus for students in the Cornerstone program. Faculty across all disciplines\, however\, are also invited to connect to these works for your students.

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby remains a vivid account of how\, in the absence of true equality\, pursuing the “American dream” can lead to devastating effects. Jay Gatsby\, a working-class war veteran\, reinvents himself as a self-made millionaire to become the man he believes his one-time love\, wealthy heiress Daisy Buchanan\, would want. Their rekindled affair triggers a domino effect of destruction\, in which obsession masquerades as love and the wealthy wield prejudice as a weapon. Known for its powerful immersion in classic texts\, Aquila Theatre brings a soberingly relevant reimagination of Fitzgerald’s classic in which Gatsby is a man of color\, setting the stage for themes of class\, racism and discrimination to play vividly inside the meaning of the American dream. \n\n\n\nThis performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to This performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to present a two-production residency with Aquila Theatre Company—featuring The Great Gatsby and Macbeth.

Washburn traded briefcases for banjos and built bridges with groundbreaking tours of China. Wu’s global explorations led her to pick bluegrass with Washburn\, who’s now her Nashville neighbor. In 2020\, these simpatico sisters from two misters released an album of impressionistic intercultural folk that spans Appalachian hills to Xinjiang prairies.

Due to COVID-19 related complications\, the U.S. tour has been cancelled.  While the Convocations team is currently working to reschedule the performance for a future date\, all tickets purchased for the performance will be refunded automatically. \n\n\n\nIf you purchased with a credit card\, the credit should appear on your billing statement within the next 7-10 business days. Any payments made by cash or check will be refunded via university check and mailed to the current address on file within the next 30 days.  Call (765) 494-3933 for more information. \n\n\n\nWhat if data were a dance partner? Dökk is a daring\, dynamic journey into the subconscious\, the latest expression of artistry through emerging digital technology from Italy’s fuse*. Named after the Icelandic word for “darkness\,” Dökk uses software to synthesize real-time data from four simultaneous sources: Dökk’s musical score; the movement of performer / choreographer Elena Annovi; her heartbeat; and emotional analysis of social media trends at that very moment. This data mashup is vividly visualized through a stunning 3D projection environment. As these data sources shift and change\, each performance of Dökk becomes one-of-a-kind—evoking life’s own random\, unforeseeable whims. Both experimental and empirical\, Dökk illuminates the invisible connections among us all in an intimate\, immersive fusion of light\, sound\, space and movement. \n\n\n\n\nAn unexpected synesthesia of pure cognitive escape.— Exibart \n\n\n\n\nThis engagement with fuse* is a continuation of Purdue Convocations’ Innovator-In-Residence platform—a forum for the investigation of new works that examine\, question and propose ideas in the fluid nexus where humanity and technology intersect. This production further extends the discussion of real-time interactivity from our previous engagement in this series\, the AI-driven musical improvisation of Shimon Robot and Friends—which Convocations presented in February of 2017. \n\n\n\nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/dokk/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Dance,Ideas,Innovative ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/X2Fuse1920x600.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220130T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220130T150000 DTSTAMP:20260420T204904 CREATED:20211008T010000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220127T162520Z UID:10000282-1643554800-1643554800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Geneva Lewis DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in New Zealand but raised in the United States\, young violinist Geneva Lewis emits passion for classical music on- and off-stage. Lewis debuted onstage as an 11-year-old prodigy for the Pasadena Symphony. Whether performing solo or as part of the Callisto Trio\, Lewis has since earned national accolades for her musical prowess\, having mastered such pieces as Béla Bartók’s Violin Sonata No. 1\, Paul Schoenfeld’s Four Souvenirs\, and Georg Philip Telemann’s Fantasia No. 7 in E flat major. Lewis’s current concert violin is a Stradivarius believed to have been crafted in 1714. She also engages with communities to promote music education—inspiring children to pick up the violin bow and\, perhaps someday\, experience the thrill of standing ovations like those that often greet her performances. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nClaude Debussy — Violin Sonata [14’] \n\n\n\nI.

Hits like “Mrs. Robinson\,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “Homeward Bound” fueled album sales to the tune of 100 million. And it wasn’t just the Empire State: Your mother or father probably wore out a vinyl copy of Sounds of Silence. Through artful image projection\, rare photos and video\, and a live band performing timeless tunes\, The Simon & Garfunkel Story presents a multimedia experience that culminates with the duo’s 1981 Central Park reunion concert—one of the largest in history with more than a half-million fans singing along.

Boasting influences that range from John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman to Prince and the Police\, Redman has forged a signature saxophone sound as provocative and forward-looking as it is hard-swinging and soulful. Propelled by bassist Reuben Rogers\, drummer Gregory Hutchinson and pianist Aaron Goldberg\, Redman’s Grammy®-nominated namesake quartet generates a tight and joyous onstage alchemy\, most recently captured on its 2019 album\, Come What May. The quartet’s performance represents Convocations’ kick-off contribution to the 2022 Purdue Jazz Festival\, a Purdue University Bands event that brings more than 2\,500 middle- and high-school students to campus for clinics and concerts. \n\n\n\n \n\nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES\n\n  URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/joshua-redman-quartet/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/1920x600.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20211210T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20211211T235959 DTSTAMP:20260420T204904 CREATED:20210802T040017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260420T205755Z UID:10000331-1639094400-1639267199@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Manual Cinema's Christmas Carol DESCRIPTION:Purdue Convocations\n\n\n\n\n\nTeaser \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 \n \n ABOUT Purdue Convocations\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol remains a holiday staple\, its empathetic idea of a life well lived indelibly woven into our cultural fabric.

The return of this all-out dancing-in-the-streets party will mark 26 years of Global Fest and serve as a jubilant expression of this global village that is our home. \n\n\n\nIncluded in Purdue Weeks of Welcome—tag your photos! #PurdueWoW \n\n\n\n\n\nMain Stage Performance Schedule\n\n\n\n3:30pm  – gates open \n\n\n\n3:40pm – Boiler Bhangra \n\n\n\n4:00pm – McGovern Irish Dancers \n\n\n\n4:30pm – Purdue Chinese Performing Arts Troupe \n\n\n\n5:30pm – Rahim AlHaj Trio \n\n\n\n7:00pm – Nation Beat \n\n\n\n9:00pm – Los Hacheros \n\n\n\n\n\nPop-up Performances\n\n\n\n4:25pm – Lion/Dragon Parade \n\n\n\n5:15pm – Okinawa Yuyukai \n\n\n\n6:40pm – Okinawa Yuyukai \n\n\n\n6:50pm – Lion/Dragon Parade \n\n\n\n\nGLOBAL FEST PASSPORT GUIDE\n\n\n\nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional support for Global Fest:\n\n\n\nIndiana Arts Commission | Skillman Corporation | The Veridus Group | West Lafayette Parks and RecreationPurdue University Honors College | Wessler Engineering\, Inc. | Sunbelt Rentals | West Lafayette Public LibraryDeFouw Automotive | MBAH Insurance | Purdue Black Cultural Center | Purdue Latino Cultural Center | Purdue Asian American and Asian Resource Cultural CenterBowen Engineering | Friends of Convocations Endowment URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/26th-annual-global-fest/ LOCATION:Downtown West Lafayette\, 222 N Chauncey Ave\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Family,Festival,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GF1920x600.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4401775;-86.9261008 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Downtown West Lafayette 222 N Chauncey Ave West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=222 N Chauncey Ave:geo:-86.9261008,40.4401775 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210909T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210910T235900 DTSTAMP:20260420T204905 CREATED:20210802T040039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210902T160653Z UID:10000335-1631145600-1631318340@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Mucca Pazza DESCRIPTION:John Phillip Sousa would not be amused. \nChicago Tribune\n\n\n\nLike any marching band\, you’ll hear Mucca Pazza coming before you see them. That’s where the similarities end. Mucca Pazza’s original genre-bending compositions are inspired by everything from surf rock to Stravinsky. Then there are the brightly colored\, mismatched thrift-shop get-ups\, a squad of absurdist cheerleaders\, and implausible instrumentation that includes electric guitars\, accordions\, violins and even a cello. A darling of Chicago’s underground music scene since 2004\, Mucca Pazza has performed at Lollapalooza\, Lincoln Center\, the Montreal Jazz Fest and NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series. At Purdue\, this merry band of misfits will roam campus\, providing a variety of free pop-up performances at different spaces. Fusing DIY punk aesthetics\, Balkan brass and marching-band maximalism\, Mucca Pazza presents an eminently danceable embrace of the absurd. \n\n\n\n\n\nPerformances Times and Locations\n\n\n\nThursday\, September 9 \n\n\n\n\nKrach Lawn 11:45 AM\nPurdue Bell Tower 1:15 PM\nMemorial Mall 2:30 PM\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, September 10 \n\n\n\n\nPurdue Bell Tower 4:20 PM\nPurdue Arch at Grant and State 5:20 PM\nGreyhouse Coffee plaza (Northwestern and State) 6:20 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES \n\n  URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/mucca-pazza/ CATEGORIES:Innovative,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Mucca-Pazza-header.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210825 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210827 DTSTAMP:20260420T204905 CREATED:20210802T040058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210902T195530Z UID:10000337-1629849600-1630022399@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Hand to Hand DESCRIPTION:…surreal and poetic.” – USA Today \nSquonk Opera’s Hand to Hand is a magnum opus of music\, mischief and marvelous stagecraft. Rigged like a sailing ship and sized like a house\, two giant puppet hands propel this outdoor spectacle alongside a live performance of propulsive progressive rock from Squonk Opera. For 25 years\, these Pittsburgh post-industrialists have fused music\, design\, science and art to bring people face to face in festive ways that The New York Times has called “ingenious\, hallucinatory and hypnotic.” Indeed\, the only things heavy-handed here are the massive mitts\, which audience members can even help manipulate to become part of the fun. This timely\, boisterous extravaganza of comic invention\, fantastic jams and shared experience is a show of hands that’s larger than life. \n\n SUPPORT THIS FREE PERFORMANCE \nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/hand-to-hand/ LOCATION:Purdue Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Music,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Squonk-header.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4401775;-86.9261008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210426T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210426T193000 DTSTAMP:20260420T204905 CREATED:20210205T181445Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210210T223823Z UID:10000324-1619465400-1619465400@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Live from Emmet's Place DESCRIPTION:Since March of 2020\, the rising star Cohen\, who is the current American Pianists Association’s (APA) Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz\, has been holding forth every Monday night with his Live From Emmet’s Place webcast featuring his long-time bandmates Russell Hall (bass) and Kyle Poole (drums).

The Indiana-raised Mexican-American singer-songwriter picked up a guitar at the age of 11 and never looked back. His success began when he had 3000 followers on SoundCloud and his friend paid him $30 to upload his music to streaming services. His single “Ugotme” quickly gained traction · and to date has accumulated over 30 million streams in the US across all platforms. \nAfter two back-to-back sold-out headlining tours · memorable festival appearances at Camp Flog Gnaw and Lollapalooza · and a network television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers · the now 23-year-old Apollo has transitioned from the freeform D.I.Y. creativity of those beloved earlier records towards a more focused development of his sound. He’s making deeper connections between his music and his Latin roots while laboring over each song in ways he never would’ve before. Part redefinition · part enhancement · the autobiographical new material he’s been working on for his upcoming projects promises to bring him to another level in his career. \n  \n  URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/omar-apollo/ CATEGORIES:hip hop,Music,Student Concert Committee ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Apollo-header-1-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210419T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210419T193000 DTSTAMP:20260420T204905 CREATED:20210205T181337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210210T222756Z UID:10000323-1618860600-1618860600@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Live from Emmet's Place DESCRIPTION:Since March of 2020\, the rising star Cohen\, who is the current American Pianists Association’s (APA) Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz\, has been holding forth every Monday night with his Live From Emmet’s Place webcast featuring his long-time bandmates Russell Hall (bass) and Kyle Poole (drums).

Buckley\, Jr. were invited to The Cambridge University Union to debate the resolution “The American Dream is at the Expense of The American Negro.” The result was a provocative and profoundly relevant confrontation between Baldwin\, one of the most powerful figures of the civil rights movement\, and Buckley\, often considered the father of 20th Century patrician conservatism. Building on its history of staging unconventional texts\, New York-based ensemble Elevator Repair Service (ERS) will present the debate verbatim in a special video preview of this new work. As a more intimate and personal counterpoint to the debate\, the final scene features a brief\, imagined reunion between Baldwin and his close friend and confidante Lorraine Hansberry\, who died only weeks before the debate. \nThe piece was conceived in late 2019 by long-time ERS company member Greig Sargeant. In the many months since those early conversations\, the subject of the debate has only become more urgent. With both 1965 and 2021 in mind\, Baldwin and Buckley at Cambridge – through a starkly simple design and an acting style that favors intimacy over impersonation – presents the debate as real\, immediate\, and of this moment. \n  \n  \n  URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/baldwin-and-buckley-at-cambridge/ CATEGORIES:Theatre,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/bnb1920x600.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210412T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210412T193000 DTSTAMP:20260420T204905 CREATED:20210205T181229Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210210T223744Z UID:10000322-1618255800-1618255800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Live from Emmet's Place DESCRIPTION:Since March of 2020\, the rising star Cohen\, who is the current American Pianists Association’s (APA) Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz\, has been holding forth every Monday night with his Live From Emmet’s Place webcast featuring his long-time bandmates Russell Hall (bass) and Kyle Poole (drums).
