Ji Yong

 

Ji Yong

Saturday, January 17, 2 p.m.

A truly extraordinary artist, pianist Ji-Yong has both an awe-inspiring technique and a musical depth well beyond his 16 years. The Chicago Tribune raved, calling Ji-Yong “a thorough musician [with] a sound and style that seemed astonishingly mature . . . a gifted, sensitive young pianist who is clearly going places.”

 


Russian National Ballet–Cinderella

Sunday, January 25, 7:30 p.m.

Filled with gorgeous pas de deux, endearing characters, and many magical moments, this production promises an enchanted experience for young and old. From the Prince and Cinderella's first ballroom duet...to the dramatic strike of the clock at midnight...to the transformation of a shy young woman into a beautiful princess...this engagement of Cinderella promises yet another great ballet performance.

Bobby McFerrin

Saturday, January 31, 7:30 p.m.

Bobby McFerrin is one of the natural wonders of the music world. A ten-time Grammy Award winner, he is one of the world's best-known vocal innovators and improvisers, the creator of "Don't Worry Be Happy", one of the most popular songs of the late 20th century, and a passionate spokesman for music education. His recordings have sold over 20 million copies, and his collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea, the Vienna Philharmonic and Herbie Hancock have established him as an ambassador of both the classical and jazz worlds. Yet McFerrin's reach extends well beyond musical circles: he's worked with actor Jack Nicholson, dancer Savion Glover, comedians Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, and audiences around the world. With a four-octave range and a vast array of vocal techniques, McFerrin is no mere singer; he is music's last true Renaissance man, a vocal explorer who has combined jazz, folk and a multitude of world music influences - choral, a cappella, and classical music - with his own ingredients.
