The turntables give the music a modern edge\, inventing new expressions just like Gillespie did as he explored thought-provoking jazz directions\, incorporating bebop and later helping introduce Afro-Cuban styles to American jazz audiences. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW SPONSORS URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/sean-jones-dizzy-spellz/ 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/2022/06/DIZZY1920x1080.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:20221211T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20221211T150000 DTSTAMP:20260614T092737 CREATED:20220707T233000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221209T175340Z UID:10000376-1670770800-1670770800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:tenThing: A Feeling of Norwegian Christmas DESCRIPTION:TICKETS ON SALE NOW!\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\nPICK5 + SAVE\n\n\n\n\n\nGROUP ORDER FORM\n\n\n\n\n\nWell integrated and technically accomplished\, with some especially brilliant trumpet work.

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.

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.

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.

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. The Simon & Garfunkel Story ensures audiences can do the same 40 years later.\n\n \n\nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES\n\n  URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/the-simon-and-garfunkel-story/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Broadway & Musicals,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/1920x600-3.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:20220121T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220121T200000 DTSTAMP:20260614T092737 CREATED:20211008T010053Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220824T223555Z UID:10000354-1642795200-1642795200@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Joshua Redman Quartet DESCRIPTION:“Unparalleled among horn players today” – JazzTimes\nWhat began as a brief detour into Brooklyn’s jazz scene for Joshua Redman blossomed into 30 years of ceaseless innovation\, acclaimed recording and passionate performance. 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:20211112T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20211112T230000 DTSTAMP:20260614T092737 CREATED:20210922T150017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211001T150955Z UID:10000339-1636747200-1636758000@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Gus Dapperton DESCRIPTION:Spotify\n\nTikTok\n\nInstagram\n\nTwitter\n\nFacebook\n\nLink\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\nMICHELLE\n\n\n\nSpotify\n\nInstagram\n\nTwitter\n\nFacebook\n\nLink\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Purdue Student Concert Committee\n\n\n\nWith support from:\n\n\n\nStudent Fee Advisory Board and Purdue Convocations URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/gus-dapperton/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Music,Student Concert Committee ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/gus1920x600.png 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 END:VCALENDAR
