When the alchemy is just right\, the results are warm\, vibrant\, life-affirming. Such are the commanding sounds of Paris-born Camille Thomas\, a rising-star cellist delivering dynamic virtuosity on her 18th-century Gagliano cello\, nicknamed the Château Pape-Clément after Bordeaux’s oldest wine estate. Thomas earned a first-prize finish at 2014’s European Broadcasting Union Competition and a spot on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list. Here\, she’ll let breathe her blend of verve\, intimacy and tenderness on a Brahms sonata with otherworldly overtones\, Beethoven’s variations on music from The Magic Flute\, a movement from Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time\, and a soulful\, radiant Franck cello sonata. \nPROGRAM\nBrahms: Cello Sonata No. 1 in E minor\, Op. 38 \nBeethoven: 7 Variations on Bei Männern\, welche Liebe fühlen \nINTERMISSION\nMessiaen: Louange à l’éternité de Jésus \nFranck: Cello Sonata in A Major\, M. 8 \nPRE-SHOW TALK | 6:30PM | STEWART CENTER 310\nJoin cellist and executive director of the Tippecanoe Chamber Music Society Margot Marlatt for a discussion about the evening’s performance.

An influential\, evocative work of fiction that’s timeless and timely\, 1984 finds everyman Winston Smith unexpectedly challenging a world in which totalitarian government reigns supreme\, technology is a weapon of propaganda and control\, and Big Brother is always watching. It’s a story suited to the bold\, ensemble-driven physicality of Aquila Theatre\, which will stage a ferocious\, provocative and critically praised adaptation of Orwell’s work from award-winning playwright Michael Gene Sullivan. As does the novel\, the Aquila Theatre’s production forces its audience to consider: How far are we from Orwell’s dystopian nightmare…or in what ways are we already there? \nPERFORMANCES \nOct. 16 at 7:30PM\nOct. 17 at 7:30PM \nPurdue Convocations is pleased to welcome back Aquila Theatre Company after its successful run of Frankenstein at Purdue University in October 2018. \nPRE-SHOW DISCUSSION | 6:30PM | BOTH NIGHTS | STEWART CENTER 310\nJoin Dr. Swati Srivastava\, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science\, for a discussion about the evening’s performance.

Across centuries and civilizations\, his epic poem The Odyssey became one of the world’s most famous tales. This mighty\, moving story follows Odysseus on his decade-long journey home from war—using skill\, strength and intellect to survive a fantastical array of creatures\, sorcerers\, monsters and divine forces. In the tradition of oral performance by skilled bards across the Mediterranean\, Aquila Theatre brings The Odyssey to life onstage. A tree of life from which Western fiction grew\, The Odyssey remains a testament to the human spirit\, the will to wander and the yearning for home. \n\nThis performance is part of a two-production mini-residency with Aquila Theatre Company. Following Aquila’s dynamic production of Frankenstein last season\, Convocations will again engender deep curricular engagement across campus with stage adaptations of the iconic literary works\, Homer’s Odyssey and Orwell’s 1984. \nPRE-SHOW TALK | 6:30PM | STEWART CENTER 279\nJoin Dr. Mike Johnston\, an Associate Professor in the Department of English\, and Dr. Daniel Conner\, Assistant Professor of Teaching in the School of Languages and Cultures\, for a discussion about the evening’s performance. \nPLEASE NOTE: \nThe Aquila Theatre production of The Odyssey will include simulated gunshots (audio) and replica/dummy firearms.  \n2019/20 BIG READ\nPurdue’s Big Read is designed to enrich Purdue and Greater Lafayette through literature. Each year we select a great book\, create a calendar of engaging events\, including lectures\, book group discussions\, performances\, workshops and author visits\, and then provide free copies of the text to the community.

However it helps you to think about the LAGQ\, keep the emphasis on superlatives for its unrivaled joy\, technical elan and questing spirits.” – Los Angeles Times \nGuitar virtuoso Andrés Segovia likened his instrument to a small orchestra\, “every string a different color\, a different voice.” Since 1980\, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (LAGQ) has embraced that diverse\, adventurous spirit—infusing new vigor into canonical classics while bridging classical\, jazz\, rock and pop in contemporary explorations. For its American Guitar Masters program\, the LAGQ celebrates U.S. guitar innovators\, including selections from Chet Atkins\, Jimi Hendrix\, Frank Zappa\, and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs\, guitar settings of Sousa and Copland\, chorales and chaconnes\, and the centerpiece “Road to the Sun.” Jazz legend Pat Metheny wrote this melodic\, groove-filled tone poem specifically for the LAGQ\, whom the Los Angeles Times hailed as “one of the wonders of the chamber music scene rooted in the West.” \nPRE-SHOW DISCUSSION | 2PM | STEWART CENTER 310\nJoin Los Angeles Guitar Quartet member Bill Kanengiser and composer\, jazz pianist and music educator Dr. Judd Danby for a pre-show discussion.

After cutting his teeth on Chopin\, Coltrane and Van Halen\, Graves co-founded L.A.’s West Coast Get Down (WCGD) alongside the supernova saxophone of Kamasi Washington. Known as the Wu-Tang Clan of jazz\, the WCGD collective is prolific when united or untethered. Graves’ 2017 debut album\, Planetary Prince\, emerged from a marathon WCGD recording session. Whether turning Ellington on its ear or achieving supersonic speeds typically reserved for prog rock and metal\, Graves transposes a fretboard ferocity and fluidity to 88 keys—music to quicken your pulse as easily as it broadens your consciousness.

By 2016\, she was among country music’s most celebrated new artists. Price’s debut album\, Midwest Farmer’s Daughter\, made numerous top-10 lists; NPR called it “the hard-won arrival of an artist who feels like she’s always been here.” Her 2017 follow-up\, All American Made\, earned widespread acclaim and a 2019 Grammy® nomination for Best New Artist. Price’s voice is a brassy\, sassy clarion call to wry\, weary\, and wise stories of heartache and determination. Fusing Nashville country\, Memphis soul and Texas twang\, she tips her cap to Waylon\, Willie\, Loretta and Dolly while challenging country conventions through brutally honest\, beautifully poetic portraits of everyday life. \nPRE-SHOW TALK | 6:30PM | PMU West Faculty Lounge\nJoin McKenzie Isom\, a  Ph.D. student in the Department of History\, for a discussion about the evening’s performance.
