KRASNOYARSK NATIONAL DANCE
COMPANY OF SIBERIA
Vivid characters, enchanting musical movements and fanciful patterns of choreographic design have defined this company since it was founded in 1960. In a kaleidoscopic manner, the dancers present a continuous stream of folk elements, old round as well as modern movements, all drenched in imagination. The stage becomes a large choreographic canvas with a whirlwind of episodes and contrasting rhythms.

Marsee Auditorium $28 / $24 (Children 12 and under $12)

LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO
Mostly in Zulu, but also in English, their themes are simple subjects: God, the generation gap, a desire for peace and reconciliation. Lead vocalist and conductor Joseph Shabalala guides the 10-member a cappella choir through layered, rich vocals that are both exotic and inspiring but, despite the ecumenical nature of most lyrics, there is a secular joy and jubilant energy that transcends the language barrier. Born in the mines of South Africa, the music is rich in tradition, making Ladysmith Black Mambazo a national treasure of the new South Africa, in part because they embody history suppressed in the old regime.

Marsee Auditorium $26 / $22 (Children 12 and under $12)

THE BEST OF AOTEAROA
Aotearoa is Maori for "Land of the Long White Cloud," a name chosen by four of New Zealand's most celebrated musicians: Gray Bartlett, guitar; Tim Beveridge, tenor; Ben Morrison, violinist, and Brendan Dugan, New Zealand's top country music star.
With a five-piece band, they perform popular music by top artists, as well as a blend of Maori tunes and some songs of the Pacific Islands.

LEAHY
Sibling sensations from Canada, Leahy fiddle their way through Irish, Scottish, classical, jazz and more in music that expands the boundaries of traditional Celtic sounds. Although the nine-piece Irish-Canadian brother and sister group specializes in Celtic pop, their talents abound in versatility with piano, singing and dancing. Spectacular in sight and sound! "The band's sound is big, fat, exuberant and punchy, punctuated by fierce hailstorms of solo and group step-dancing" (Rhythm Magazine).

LOUIE CRUZ BELTRAN LATIN
JAZZ ORCHESTRA
Percussionist, vocalist, composer, bandleader - Louis Cruz Beltran infuses each role with unfaltering enthusiasm and outstanding talent. He captivates audiences with his passion for music and with his magnetic spirit. Boasting a repertoire of music from Brazilian style and Afro-Cuban rhythms to "Top-40", they blend R & B, Salsa, Reggae, Latin, Rock and Jazz into a performance as visually captivating as it is musically engaging.
Marsee Auditorium $18 (Children 12 and under $12)

BRASIL, BRAZIL SHOW
Thrill to the fervor, enthusiasm and excitement of popular Brazilian music with the rhythms and faces of this tropical culture. Outfitted in bright yellow and green costumes, the band gives the joyful feel of Carnaval while the music is tinged with jazz and spiced with Latin and African drumming. With a lavish splash of color and rhythms, this happy ensemble educates and entertains with the best of Brazilian jazz.

Marsee Auditorium $18 (Children 12 and under $12)
