North State Symphony:
Peter and the Wolf
10:30 a.m. | Tuesday, March 8


There is no better way to be introduced to the orchestra than Prokofiev’s immortal Peter and the Wolf, the symphonic fairy tale that will transform the instruments of the orchestra into different characters involved in a tale of mischief, suspense, and triumph.  Also on the program is Haydn’s whimsical Toy Symphony, a piece that just might need your help to complete the melody!  We will also feature our Young Artist Audition winners in a variety of colorful works by Mozart.

Nobuntu
 10:30 a.m.  Thurs., March 10 

This a cappella female quintet from Zimbabwe has drawn international acclaim for its inventive performances that range from traditional Zimbabwean songs to Afro Jazz to gospel. The ensemble’s concerts are performed with pure voices, augmented by minimalistic percussion, traditional instruments such as the Mbira (thumb piano), and organic, authentic dance movements. The word Nobuntu is an African concept that values humbleness, love, unity, and family from a woman’s perspective. The ensemble represents a new generation of young African women singers who celebrate and preserve their culture, beauty, and heritage through art.

Pss Pss
 11:30 a.m.  May 11 & 12


Inspired by the era of silent films, two modern-day clowns play out their hilarious and unique pas de deux through the universal language of gesture and look. Without a single word being spoken, Swiss duo Compagnia Baccalà sweeps us up in a timeless and award-winning performance with all the seriousness, innocence, and unkindness of the human condition. An extraordinary physical performance, it blends contemporary clown with theatre and circus. Inventive and exciting, the characters’ poetic and breathtaking fumble through mishaps, acrobatics, and life will have you laughing long after you leave the theatre.
