Gray and graceful, Merchant pleases fans old and new with symphony collaborationsNatalie Merchant is used to it by now—the startled gasp from the audience when she emerges on stage.

The reaction says more about our celebrity-crazed culture than it does about Merchant, embraced by fans in the 1980s as the hip vocalist and literate lyricist/songwriter for the alt-folk-rock band 10,000 Maniacs.

Now 51, she’s doing everything she can to celebrate her maturity. Case in point: She stopped coloring her hair, and started rocking the salt-and-pepper look.

“It’s part of my campaign to age gracefully,” Merchant says. “I think, as a culture, we’re obsessed with youth culture. … But I’ve completely changed my mindset. Now, when I see women with gray hair, it’s beautiful.”

In that same spirit, she has been performing with symphony orchestras across the country, freshly arranging songs from both her multi-platinum solo and Maniacs albums to accord with strings and woodwinds, brass and percussion.

“The palette is so rich and broad with an orchestra. The emotional, dynamic range is so huge. It goes from a whisper to a sunburst,” Merchant says. “It seems natural to try to evolve as a more mature performer. … This is a way for me to stay active and vital, and I feel that it’s a way that I can stay true to myself.”

Natalie Merchant will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 2 with the CU Symphony Orchestra at Macky Auditorium as part of the Artist Series. For tickets, go to cupresents.org or call 303-492-8008.

The nation’s second-oldest Shakespeare festival raises the curtain June 5 for its exciting 2015 season. CSF is a unique Boulder experience you won’t want to miss — magic, mirth, mayhem …

and mountains. Go to coloradoshakes.org for more information and tickets.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHINGJune 5-Aug. 9Mary Rippon Outdoor TheatreDirected by Jim Helsinger, Orlando Shakespeare TheaterRomantic, raucous and razor-sharp, the Hamlet of Shakespeare comedies strikes hilarious chords even as it reveals timeless truths about love, change and acceptance. The men have returned victorious from war, but the merry sparring — and sparks — between Benedick the stubborn bachelor and witty, self-assured Beatrice have just begun.

WITTENBERGJune 11-Aug. 8 (Colorado premiere)University TheatreDirected by CSF Producing Artistic Director Timothy OrrTo believe or not to believe? That is the question when Prince Hamlet, a dazed-and-confused senior at Wittenberg University, circa 1517, is caught in the crossfire between two giants

of philosophy — and ego — the freethinking skeptic Dr. Faustus and stuffy, guilt-ridden Martin Luther. Punny, funny, brainy and zany, David Davalos’ ingenious mashup is equal parts Tom Stoppard, campus caper and metaphysical mind-trip.

OTHELLOJune 26-Aug. 8Mary Rippon Outdoor TheatreDirected by Lisa Wolpe, Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Co.In a country at war, Othello the Moor commands with authority and nobility of spirit, drawing strength from his bold and beautiful wife, Desdemona. But he has placed his trust in one of Shakespeare’s most sinister villains, Iago, who would sow seeds of doubt and destruction in the garden of their love. Passion, jealousy and murder explode in a sexy theatrical thriller that tumbles toward a diabolical finale

HENRY VJuly 16-Aug. 9, University TheatreDirected by Carolyn Howarth, director of CSF’s 2014 Henry IV, Part 1England’s crown rests on the head of the once wild and undisciplined acolyte of Falstaff, Prince Hal, now a wise and noble monarch leading his country into war with France. Rousing and cinematic in scope, Henry V raises compelling questions about leadership in a troubled world that powerfully echoes our own. With this production, CSF completes the four-play Henriad history cycle begun in 2013.

HENRY VI, PART 1 Aug. 2 and 5 , University TheatreBack by popular demand, CSF presents two exclusive, “original practices” performances of the rarely produced saga of Henry V’s son. Last seen onstage at CSF in 1967, the play features one of Shakespeare’s most intriguing females, Joan of Arc. Both 2014 “OP” shows sold out, so buy your tickets early!

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTARLyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Directed by Cecilia PangApril 10-19, University TheatreEver since the controversial rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice was released as a concept album in 1970, it has enflamed the passions of critics and fans alike. The story of Jesus of Nazareth during his final days, this high-energy, immensely popular show plunges deep into the hearts of the men and women, from Judas Iscariot to Mary Magdalene to Pontius Pilate, who played a part in one of the most momentous stories ever told.

Jesus Christ Superstar changed Boulder’s theater scene in 1970sAndrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s monumental rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, first recorded as a concept album in 1970 and produced on Broadway the following year, changed the face of musical theater—and Boulder’s theater scene.

The musical was popular—and controversial—from the start. Based on the Gospel of John, its doubting Jesus, tortured Judas, sympathetic Pilate and scheming priests, it was banned and drew protests and charges of anti-Semitism. Yet millions of fans, believers and non-believers alike, made it one of the most beloved musicals in history.

A few facts about the show’s history in Boulder and beyond:

n The original recording featured Ian Gillan of Deep Purple as Jesus, future disco star Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene and glam rocker Gary Glitter as a priest.

n The original Broadway production won six Tony Awards, including best score.

n At the time of its first closing, Superstar was the longest-running musical in the history of London’s West End.

n The show has been banned by the BBC, South Africa, the Soviet Union and as recently as 2012 in Belarus and Russia.

n Many famous entertainers have done the show, including Alice Cooper and Jack Black as King Herod, Ben Vereen and the Who’s Roger Daltrey as Judas, and the Indigo Girls’ Amy Ray as Jesus.

n A 17-year-old John Travolta didn’t get the part when he auditioned for Jesus in the 1973 film version, but producer Robert Stigwood soon made him a star in Saturday Night Fever.

n Boulder High School’s 1976 production, directed by Ross Haley, remains the only show at the school ever to be held over for encore performances.

n CU Presents Executive Director Joan McLean Braun and Lissy Garrison, Assistant Dean for Advancement at the College of Music, played in the orchestra for the BHS production.

n Keith Hurdle, owner of Artist Series sponsor Hurdle’s Jewelry, played Peter.

n Matthew Monfort, who played live electric guitar, is listed as one the 100 greatest acoustic guitarists by Digital Dream Door alongside such notables as Doc Watson and Joni Mitchell.

n Haley and some parents of students in the show started Boulder’s Dinner Theatre in 1977.

n Michael Duran, who played Jesus in BDT’s 1978 Superstar, is now directing producer.

Two-time Grammy Award winner Ernie Watts is one of the most versatile and prolific saxophone players on the music scene. In a diverse career that has spanned more than 30 years, he has been featured on more than 500 recordings by artists ranging from Cannonball Adderley to Frank Zappa, always exhibiting his unforgettable trademark sound.

Watts started playing saxophone at age 13. He accompanied a friend who was enrolling in the local school music program and found himself carrying home an instrument. “I was a self-starter; no one ever had to tell me to practice,” he remembers.

His discipline, combined with natural talent, began to shape his life. He won a scholarship to the Wilmington Music School in Delaware, where he studied classical music and technique. Though the school had no jazz program, his mother provided the spark by giving him his own record player for Christmas and enrolling him in a record club. That first record club promotional selection turned out to be the brand-new Miles Davis album Kind of Blue.

“When I first heard John Coltrane play, it was like someone put my hand into a light socket,” Watts says. He started to learn jazz by ear, often falling asleep at night listening to a stack of Coltrane records. Although he would enroll briefly at West Chester University in music education, he soon won a Downbeat Scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, renowned for jazz.

When Gene Quill left Buddy Rich’s Big Band, trombonist Phil Wilson (an educator at Berklee) was asked to recommend a replacement; young Ernie Watts got the job. He left Berklee for that important spot, staying with Rich from 1966-68 and touring the world. Watts then moved to Los Angeles and began working in the big bands of Gerald Wilson and Oliver Nelson. With the Nelson band, Watts visited Africa on a U.S. State Department tour in 1969. They played in Chad, Niger, Mali, Senegal and the Republic of the Congo, which included the opportunity to meet and jam with the local African musicians. Remembering the experience, Watts recalls Africa as “a timeless land.”

“It was amazing to play a government sponsored concert in the evening, then take a walk the next

morning and see a camel caravan coming in from the desert, laden with giant salt blocks,” he says. “That had been happening for thousands of years! Walking out into the desert at night, I felt the tremendous quiet there, something I had never experienced before, or since.”

It was also with Oliver Nelson that Watts had the occasion to record with the legendary Thelonious Monk on Monk’s Blues (Columbia).

During the 1970s and ‘80s, Watts was immersed in the busy production scene of Los Angeles. Watts’ signature sound was heard on countless TV shows and movie scores, almost all the early West Coast Motown sessions, and with pop stars such as Aretha Franklin and Steely Dan. Though the pop-music genre placed narrow confines on his performance, the studio sessions allowed Watts the chance to constantly hone and refine his tone. After years in the studios, Watts’ passion for acoustic jazz never left him. At the end of a long day of sessions, he could frequently be heard playing fiery jazz in late-night clubs around Los Angeles.

In 1983, film composer Michel Colombier wrote an orchestral piece, Nightbird, for Watts. At the work’s inaugural performance at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, Charlie Haden came backstage to introduce himself. The meeting led to Watts performing with Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra and to tours with Pat Metheny’s Special Quartet, which included Haden.

Watts’ tour with Metheny’s group in the late 1980s found him on a triple bill with Sun Ra and the Miles Davis Band (on Davis’ final tour), a turning point for the artist.

“The serious energy of Pat’s music convinced me to make the commitment to this level of performance. Every night I also absorbed Sun Ra and Miles and could not deny the power I was feeling in the music,” he recalls.

Watts’ charter membership in Haden’s critically acclaimed Quartet West, with whom he has toured and recorded for nearly 20 years, and his body of work for the audiophile Japanese label JVC Music continued to demonstrate his talent and commitment to the jazz world.

His four recordings for JVC Music are some of the finest of his extensive career. For these projects, he surrounded himself with several of his favorite players; Jack DeJohnette, Arturo Sandoval, Kenny Barron, Mulgrew Miller, Eddie Gomez, Jimmy Cobb and Marc Whitfield. The music encompassed both jazz classics and new pieces by Watts. Between his stint with JVC and starting his own label, Flying Dolphin, Watts recorded Reflections, a side-project with friend and fellow musician Ron Feuer. This 2003 duet release features serene ballads for saxophone and piano and exemplifies Watts’ fluid tone.

Watts’ eclectic mix of career activities has included Jazz at the Kennedy Center for Billy Taylor, as well as touring with Gene Harris and appearing on his last recording, Alley Cats (live at the Jazz Alley in Seattle). A typical year finds Watts touring Europe with his own quartet, in Asia as a featured guest artist and performing at summer festivals throughout North America and Europe. A skilled educator, he continues his commitment to music education by conducting student workshops and has compiled a collection of orchestral arrangements for guest soloist appearances with symphonies. And there is the occasional “hometown gig” with the Ernie Watts Quartet in Los Angeles, where he is still based.

Brad Goode earned a BM degree in trumpet at the University of Kentucky and an MM degree in bass at DePaul University. His trumpet teachers were Vincent DiMartino, Byron Baxter, Clark Terry, Chris Gekker and William Adam. He studied bass with Larry Gray, Donald “Rafael” Garrett and Carroll Crouch.

Brad Goode During his apprenticeship, he toured and recorded with the bands of Von Freeman, Red Rodney, Al Cohn, Eddie Harris, Ira Sullivan, Frank Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Jack DeJohnette, Ernie Krivda, Rosemary Clooney, Barrett Deems, the Woody Herman Orchestra and many others.

Goode led his own combo in Chicago from 1985 until 1998, including a 12-year stint as leader of the house band at the Green Mill. As a cultural ambassador for Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, he led jazz groups on tours of Asia and the Middle East. He was named one of the most influential Chicagoans of the 1980s by the Chicago Tribune, who credited him as a “major catalyst in the revitalization of the Chicago jazz scene.”

Since 1998, he has primarily performed as a freelance lead trumpeter. He currently tours with the bands of Canadian vocalist Matt Dusk and West African

Thompson Jazz Studies ProgramThe jazz studies program at the CU-Boulder College of Music was founded in 1996 by former Dean Daniel Sher. It was named in honor of CU-Boulder alumni Jack and Jeannie Thompson in 2013, in recognition of a $1.6 million contribution toward a program endowment, becoming the first several named programs at the college.

“Jazz is a truly unique American art form, and there aren’t very many of those,” says Jack Thompson (Hist’64, MA’70), who with Jeannie (Zool’64) has helped lead the effort to attract matching gifts for the endowment. “We couldn’t conceive of a place where Glenn Miller came from not having a vibrant and vigorous jazz program.” Miller, who attended CU-Boulder, went on to become a big-band pioneer known for such classics as In the Mood.

The Thompson Jazz Studies Program offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Students from across the Boulder campus participate in the programs three jazz bands and seven combos, which perform dozens of public concerts a year. The program also sponsors residencies, performances and clinics by prominent jazz artists. Participants have been recognized multiple times in DownBeat Magazine’s Annual Student Music Awards.

ABOUT THE EKLUND FAMILY OPERA PROGRAMRecognizing the importance of the arts and live-vocal performance in an increasingly distracted world, long-time Boulder resident Paul Eklund made a generous gift in October to help establish a $2 million endowment at the CU-Boulder College of Music. Funding from the endowment will help support three opera productions each academic year, the CU New Opera Workshop and an opera-scenes program for new students.
