Beatrice Rana, piano

Called “a marvelously expressive interpreter with a keen sense of how to get to the emotional heart of a work” by Minnesota’s Star-Tribune, Beatrice Rana returns to Celebrity Series with a program that shows off her refinement and virtuosity. She brings her storytelling prowess and emotional expressiveness to two well-loved ballet suites: highlights from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, and selections from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker suite.

Camille A. Brown: I AM

Camille A. Brown created I AM with inspiration from an unlikely source: an episode of HBO’s acclaimed sci-fi/horror series Lovecraft Country. Mirroring aspects of a character’s multidimensional journey of self-discovery and the power that comes with asserting who you are, Brown weaves a world of African diasporic dance styles into an energetic, spontaneous, immersive, and powerful work that the Berkshire Edge called “universal to human experience….it is good for the soul.”

Third Coast Percussion: Metamorphosis

Chicago’s Third Coast Percussion and dancer-choreographers Lil Buck and Jon Boogz (together known as Movement Art Is) began this project remotely during the COVID-19 lockdown, a time that gave a special resonance to ideas of shared human experience. The result is a groundbreaking collaboration that weaves contemporary percussion music with distinct and powerful dance styles. At its heart, the work dramatizes the growth, resilience, and self-expression of two young Black men, offering an intimate journey that is as thought-provoking as it is visually and musically compelling.

Ruckus and Davóne Tines

Brilliant bass-baritone Davóne Tines and early music continuo band Ruckus form the perfect pairing to reflect on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Giving new life to Colonial- and Revolutionary-era hymns, ballads, and Baroque compositions, Ruckus and Tines embark on a musical journey that weaves through the pre-Civil War period, the Civil Rights era, and into the present day.

Gabriel Kahane

The morning after the 2016 election, singer/composer Gabriel Kahane boarded a train from New York to Chicago, starting a 9,000-mile journey across America. In a climate of national division, Kahane listened to Americans’ stories; a song cycle, Book of Travelers, was born from their hopes, hardships, and shared moments of faith and resilience. Everyday American stories become extraordinary when you experience Gabriel Kahane’s poignant, wise, and empathetic Book of Travelers.
