Sun, Nov 9 at 06:00 PMThe 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!

Sun, Nov 16 at 04:00 PMMagnificat: 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.
