The performance invites us into a sensory journey that includes sounds\, stories\, and musical idioms from at-risk coastal communities\, with images and short films of disappearing mangrove swamps\, coral reefs\, oyster beds\, seagrass\, sand dunes\, and mud volcanoes. Featuring musicians from the very communities most at risk\, the performance balances blunt reality\, eternal optimism\, and surrealism\, ultimately offering an exhortation to address climate change’s impact on our future. \nLearn more about Etienne Charles \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 \n \n \n \n \n \n Tickets\nContact theschaefercenter@appstate.edu\, call 828-262-4046\, visit the box office at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts\, or purchase online. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n $40 Tier 1$30 Tier 2$20 Tier 3$10 child/student \nApp State faculty/staff: 10% off all tiers Call the Box Office for special code. \nNC sales tax is included in ticket price. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BUY TICKETS\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 Etienne Charles\nTrinidad-born Etienne Charles is a performer\, composer and storyteller\, who is constantly searching for untold tales and sounds with which to tell them. His lush trumpet sound\, varied compositional textures and pulsating percussive grooves enable him to invoke trance\, soothing and exciting listeners while referencing touchy and sometimes controversial subjects in his music. Highlighting marginalized communities and engaging with them has been his mission\, evident with projects such as his Guggenheim Fellowship Project\, Carnival: The Sound of a People Vol. 1\, San Jose Suite\, Creole Soul\, Gullah Roots\, Folklore\, and his latest commission\, San Juan Hill – A New York Story. His concerts engage\, enlighten\, educate\, and enrich audiences with energized multidisciplinary performance utilizing original composition\, thematic improvisation\, dance\, short films and spoken word to create a holistic experience. A firm believer in music and performance as a tool for provoking thought and dialogue\, Charles’s themes speak to the status quo while drawing parallels to history. \nAs an Afro-descendant\, his work is actively connecting the diaspora and drawing lines to the regions at the roots of migrations\, evident in his latest release\, Creole Orchestra\, which spent seven weeks at #1 on the Jazzweek chart this summer. His dedication to music as a tool for social uplift has seen him awarded by France with the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres medal (2024) as well as a Congressional Citation from the United States (2012).  \nAs a sideman\, he has performed with and/or arranged for Roberta Flack\, Chucho Valdes\, Marcus Roberts\, Marcus Miller\, Count Basie Orchestra\, Frank Foster’s Loud Minority Big Band\, Monty Alexander\, Gregory Porter\, Terri Lyne Carrington\, René Marie\, Paulette McWilliams\, and many others. He has been commissioned as a composer and arranger by Lincoln Center for the New York Philharmonic (2021)\, Savannah Music Festival (2017)\, Chamber Music America (2015 and 2021)\, the Charleston Jazz Orchestra (2012)\, and the Chicago Jazz Ensemble (2011). \nHe currently serves as Professor of Studio Music and Jazz at University of Miami Frost School of Music. \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 Parking\nParking can be challenging\, particularly for sold-out events.

Founded by Alvin Ailey in 1974\, this universally renowned company embodies his pioneering mission to establish an extended cultural community that provides dance performances\, training\, and community programs for all people. Under the leadership of Sylvia Waters\, who served as artistic director for 38 seasons\, Ailey II flourished into one of the most popular modern dance companies\, combining a rigorous touring schedule with extensive community outreach programs. Today\, with Artistic Director Francesca Harper at the helm\, she brings fresh perspectives to Mr. Ailey’s legacy\, while nurturing new creative voices and propelling the company forward. \nPROGRAM \n  \nStreamsChoreographer Alvin Ailey’s abstract exploration of bodies in space\, danced to a percussion score by Miloslav Kabelac. This highly structured yet fluid compilation of solos\, duets\, and group choreography reflects the formal\, meditative mood of Kabelac’s music. While there is no narrative\, the movement and music arouse distinct thoughts and feelings\, evoking images and sensations inspired by bodies of water — from a gentle brook to a turbulent ocean — that correlate to the changing tides within us. \nDown the Rabbit HoleInspired by The Matrix film series\, “Down the Rabbit Hole” explores how technology weaves into the fabric of daily life\, transforming how we as humans interact and function. Set to a score by Johannes Goldbach and Pomassl\, Thomas begs the question\, in this high-powered piece: Technological change — are we powering it or is it powering us? \nRevelationsPerformed to African American spirituals\, song-sermons\, gospel songs\, and holy blues\, Alvin Ailey’s Revelations fervently explores the places of deepest grief and holiest joy in the soul. More than just a popular dance work\, it has become a cultural treasure\, beloved by generations of fans. Seeing Revelations for the first time or the hundredth can be a transcendent experience\, with audiences cheering\, singing along\, and dancing in their seats from the opening notes of the plaintive “I Been ’Buked” to the rousing “Wade in the Water” and the triumphant finale\, “Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham.” \n \n \n \n \n \n “Revelations” Repertoire Class for All Levelsdesigned for ages 10+\nThursday\, February 195-6:15pmVarsity Gym Dance Studios 208 A & B\, App State\, 530 Rivers Street\, Boone\n\nFREE and open to the public\n\nRegistration appreciated.

Released in the throes of bro-country and before pop stars were crossing over into the genre left and right\, it showcased an artist completely unafraid to double down not only on herself\, but what she’d always loved: classic country songs written from the intellect and the gut\, hell-bent on truth-telling and both timeless and urgent all at once. Respected by her peers\, praised by critics and beloved by her fans\, Price created a lane where independent-minded\, insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream\, and became an ardent fighter for her beliefs in a genre where the norm is to shut up and sing. A trailblazer and a champion for the craft\, Price redefined what it meant to be a modern country artist. \nAnd now she’s back with an exquisite\, truly timeless album that reconnects with her roots and pays tribute to the art of the country song\, inspired in part by the legends whom she now calls colleagues and friends. Hard Headed Woman is both a look forward and a look back: a way to march forward while staying true to yourself when the path of less resistance is right there in front of us\, and short cuts are around every corner. And a way to look back when we need to trim what is no longer working\, and to stay connected with where we’re from. It is a promise and a manifesto\, a love song to both a city and a genre\, and a defiant cry for individuality. \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 Parking\nParking can be challenging\, particularly for sold-out events.

He also studied the Nyamakala tradition of circus\, practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He eventually joined Guinea’s original circus company\, Circus Baobob\, with whom he toured Africa and Europe. \nIn the early 2000s\, Yamoussa was recruited to come to Canada with Cirque Eloize\, a Montreal-based Canadian cirque company.  While in Canada\, he also performed with Cirque du Soleil and Cavalia (cirque with horses). In 2007\, Yamoussa realized his dream and opened his own company\, Kalabanté Productions\, in Montreal Canada. He recruited many of his extended family members to join the company\, including his twin sisters\, brothers\, and cousins. \nThe company began doing shows in Quebec\, and over the years expanded to all of Canada\, the USA and now performs all over the world. In 2018\, Kalabanté opened their own studio and school in Montreal\, where they offer classes in African dance\, cirque\, and drumming. \nKalabanté Productions is proud to be able to share their work\, achievements and skills to inspire others and to assist with the humanitarian mission to help the Guinean community from which Yamoussa and many of his company members come. \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 Parking\nParking can be challenging\, particularly for sold-out events.

Coupled with his gift for storytelling\, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country\, swing\, jazz\, folk\, gospel\, and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. \nWhether touring as a ‘Duo’ or with his ‘Acoustic Group’ or his ‘Large Band\,’ Lovett’s live performances show not only the breadth of this Texas legend’s deep talents\, but also the diversity of his influences\, making him one of the most compelling and captivating musicians in popular music. \nSince his self-titled debut in 1986\, Lyle Lovett has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers. Among his many accolades\, besides the four Grammy Awards\, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award\, and was named Texas State Musician. \nHis works\, rich and eclectic\, are some of the most beloved of any artist working today. \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 Tickets\nContact theschaefercenter@appstate.edu\, call 800-841-2787 or 828-262-4046\, visit the box office at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts\, or purchase online. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n $70 Tier 1$60 Tier 2$45 Tier 3$25 App State students \nApp State faculty/staff: 10% off all tiers Call the Box Office for special code \nNC sales tax is included in ticket price. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BUY TICKETS\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 Parking\nParking can be challenging\, particularly for sold-out events.
