    The Traveling Salvation Show

    The Traveling Salvation Show is a one-of-a-kind tribute to the legendary Neil Diamond. Often described as “Neil Diamond’s greatest hits performed by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra”, this high energy performance captures the energy of Mr. Diamond’s live arena concerts and includes a visual spectacular with over 40 fixtures that include moving lights, sparks, geysers and lasers. Bottom line: it’s “so good, so good, so good!”. The show is fronted by Brother Love himself, Mr. Jay Henke who many fans have commented sounds uncannily like Neil Diamond. While not a visual “impersonator”, Jay’s vocals pay a true homage to what fans of Mr. Diamond would expect to hear at a tribute show. Next come the incomparable Diamond Ladies, our incredible backing trio made up of Leigha Sronce, Courtney Walker and Liz White. There are no “auto-tune” units in sight with these ladies, and each one of them will take center-stage at one point during the performance to pay their unique homage to Mr. Diamond. Finally, the Salvation Show Band impeccably recreates the sound of Neil’s famous NDRRT musicians, bringing the sound, energy and arrangements that are hallmarks of that group to the Salvation Show stage. Dan Farroll and Jeff Pawlow play keys, Jeff Lewis and Sebastian Sronce play bass and lead guitar respectively, and Tim Ilko and Rick Turcotte handle all the drums and percussion. In terms of the show, our guests can plan to walk away having experienced all of Neil Diamond’s greatest hits. A typical 2-set performance runs approximately 2.5 hours and includes 28 songs, Diamond trivia, and fun ways for the audience to participate in the show! Wearing sequins is not required, but highly encouraged!

    Renaissance Quartet

    Last season, violinist Randall Goosby carried a sold-out audience to the highest heights of emotion as the last-minute soloist replacement for the London Philharmonic Orchestra's triumphant concert. A flood of rapturous audience testimonials meant it became a must to welcome him back quickly.

Communicative engagement and technical finesse allow the four Juilliard School graduates to launch from their classical base into the 21st-century stratosphere with a dynamic blend of soul, R&B, hip-hop, and jazz. Their boundary-pushing performances are virtuosic and engaging, creating a new space for chamber music to thrive. Making a cultural statement in sound with high-energy artistry and gorgeously programmed to whisk you away early into a fall weekend, the Renaissance Quartet is a must-see for encountering classical music's centuries-long story with new chapters written right now.

    Magnificat: Lifting up the lowly

    Magnificat: Lifting Up the Lowly is a concert program weaving together the sacred and secular in response to human suffering and oppression. Framed by the canticle, the Song of Mary, it speaks of God who has scattered the proud, brought down the powerful, lifted up the lowly, and filled the hungry with good things. The concert features the glorious Magnificat by J.S. Bach, performed by students and faculty from the Program in Sacred Music at Notre Dame. From the secular realm, Dmitri Shostakovich's intensely personal Chamber Symphony (from his Eighth String Quartet) bears witness to 20th-century suffering. Dedicated to victims of war and fascism everywhere, the work is said to be autobiographical even as it references pogroms against Jews and a patriotic song set as a lament. The program also includes Joaquin Rodrigos exquisite Fantasía para un gentilhombre (Fantasia for a Gentleman), performed by the acclaimed Italian guitarist Nicolò Spera. Rodrigo, who was blind, crafted this lovely work on 17th-century Spanish Baroque dances, creating a beautiful musical connection to Bach's era.

    UZIMA! Drum and Dance presents "ASHE: Prepare Ye the Way"

    UZIMA! Drum and Dance Company returns with another unforgettable evening of powerful music, movement, and storytelling. Rescheduled from the 2024/2025 season, ASHE: Prepare Ye the Way is a journey down the road less traveled, following in the footsteps of trailblazers such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mary Church Terrell, and other visionaries who paved the way for peace and progress. Through the art of music and dance that has transformed the course of humanity, this event honors the legacies of those who fought for justice and unity and invites audiences to reflect on their role in continuing that journey. Together, we'll explore the spirit of resistance, hope, and transformation via UZIMA!'s distinctive collaborative practice and leadership in cultural advocacy. From the bold steps of the civil rights movement to the quiet strength of community change-makers, we'll celebrate the unquenchable thirst for change that forever compels us forward, as suffragist and activist Terrell wrote, "lifting as we climb." This event is part of the Presenting Series' Cultural Collective, programming supporting equitable artistic development in our community.
