SUMMARY:Ruckus with Davóne Tines in “What is Your Hand in this?”
DESCRIPTION:Ruckus makes its Pittsburgh debut\, joining forces with bass-baritone Davóne Tines\, “one of the most powerful voices of our time” (Los Angeles Times). Use code AWAACC at online checkout for 20% off the ticket price! \nAs we mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and reflect on our shared history\, how can the American traditions of artistic expression and cultural evolution guide our interconnected future? Traveling through four centuries of reimagined songs\, hymns\, and ballads\, early music band Ruckus and path breaking vocalist Davóne Tines offer a meditation on and interrogation of the American legacy through its revolutionary musics. \nRuckus makes its Pittsburgh debut in this remarkable program\, bringing an utterly unique approach to early music that is “achingly delicate one moment\, incisive and punchy the next” (The New York Times). The band joins forces with Tines to ask: how can our fragile American experiment hold? \nThe Ruckus early music band features Doug Balliett on violone and electric bass\, Elliot Figg on harpsichord and synthesizer\, Keir GoGwilt on violin\, Manami Mizumoto on violin and viola\, Paul Holmes Morton on banjo and theorbo\, and Clay Zeller-Townson on reeds & percussion. \nDOUG BALLIETT Steps to Compassion\nTRADITIONAL (arr.

CMP serves Pittsburgh’s diverse communities through a variety of series and programs\, including its MainStage Live subscription series; its Pittsburgh Performs series featuring Pittsburgh artists in unusual venues outside of the traditional concert hall setting; and its free\, need-based musical instrument lending library\, administered in partnership with East Liberty’s Hope Academy of Music and the Arts. Each CMP season features a carefully balanced menu of acclaimed chamber ensembles and brilliant emerging groups\, performing traditional musical masterpieces as well as contemporary\, intercultural\, and crossover compositions. Chamber Music Pittsburgh remains a vital element of cultural life in Pittsburgh and is recognized throughout the classical music world. The 65th Anniversary MainStage Live Season\, which coincides with the American semiquincentennial\, is entitled “Voices in Time: A Celebration of Chamber Music in America\,” and features US-based artists in wide-ranging programs that exemplify all that chamber music can be in America. \nAbout Calliope\nFounded in 1976\, Calliope is a nonprofit educational and presenting organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of traditional and contemporary folk music and its allied arts. We firmly believe that music is a language through which we speak\, learn\, create\, and come to know our world\, engaging individuals of all backgrounds. Through our programs\, we seek to connect people through the particular power of folk music and serve the community by encouraging and supporting the joy of live music\, the delight of making music\, and the power of sharing music.
