Seven Days of Opening Nights Presents CMA & GRAMMY Award Winner Kathy Mattea


Seven Days of Opening Nights
KATHY MATTEA   

Tickets are still available for many shows as Florida State University's Seven Days of Opening Nights resumes its 2013-2014 season with a lineup of spectacular performances by iconic artists and a wealth of educational opportunities for schoolchildren and university students.

Series highlights include performances by jazz musicians Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spalding and Leo Genevese performing as The Spring Quartet; blues rocker Jonny Lang; Poncho Sanchez and His Latin Jazz Band; violinist Nicola Benedetti; and country and bluegrass performer Kathy Mattea.

Performances by violinist Itzhak Perlman, comedian Lewis Black, and vocalist Nneena Freelon with guitarist Earl Klugh are sold out. Tickets for the Irish Rovers, PRISM and the Becca Stevens Band are nearly sold out, and tickets for other shows are selling fast, said Christopher J. Heacox, executive director of Seven Days of Opening Nights.

"Although some performances have sold out, there are still great seats available to see world-class artists who not only entertain but educate audiences and students of all ages," Heacox said.

The series offers a unique opportunity to see some artists, such as The Spring Quartet, L.A. Theatre Works, Urban Bush Women and Benedetti, who are making Tallahassee their only stop in Florida, he added.

For ticket information, visit www.sevendaysfestival.org/tickets or call (850) 644-6500.

Feb. 8 — The Spring Quartet: Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spalding and Leo Genovese, 7:30 p.m., Ruby Diamond Concert Hall: $70, $55 or $40; $10 for students. Spalding, a bassist, vocalist and composer, won a  Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2011, marking the first time in history that a jazz musician had won the award. DeJohnette has been hailed as one of the greatest musicians in jazz history and has been in constant demand as a drummer, bandleader and sideman for more than five decades.

Feb. 11, 12 — Urban Bush Women: "Walkin' With Trane," 8 p.m., Nancy Smith Fichter Dance Theatre: $50; $10 for students. Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, founder and artistic director of Urban Bush Women, partners with pianist George Caldwell for this new piece that plunges into the depths of John Coltrane's legacy.

Feb. 12 — Poncho Sanchez and His Latin Jazz Band, 7:30 p.m., Ruby Diamond Concert Hall: $50, $35 or $25; $10 for students. Poncho Sanchez & His Latin Jazz Band present Cubano Be! Cubano Bop! The program is a tribute to the legacy of Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo and American music icon Dizzy Gillespie, who changed the face of music history when their collaborations in the late 1940s ignited the Afro-Cuban jazz genre.

Feb. 13 — Nicola Benedetti and Alexei Grynyuk, 7:30 p.m., Ruby Diamond Concert Hall: $50, $35 or $25; $10 for students. Benedetti has proven to be one of Britain's most innovative and creative violinists, captivating audiences and critics alike.

Feb. 14 — Jonny Lang, 7:30 p.m., Ruby Diamond Concert Hall: $75, $60 or $45; $10 for students.  At age 16, blues-rock guitarist Lang found incredible success with the album "Lie To Me."

King, Santana, Aerosmith and Cyndi Lauper.

Feb. 14-March 2 — "Monty Python's Spamalot," presented by FSU School Theatre, Richard G. Fallon Theatre: $20; $10 for students. This campy cult-classic musical comedy based on the renowned film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is a highly irreverent parody of the Arthurian Legend and Broadway itself. Tony nominee Malcolm Gets directs this rollicking production. Visit www.sevendaysfestival.org/performances-events for show times.

Feb. 14-March 30 — "Making Now: Open for Exchange" and "Trevor Bell: Both Sides of the Atlantic;" Opening, 6-8 p.m., Feb. 14, FSU Museum of Fine Arts, free.
"Making Now: Open for Exchange": The tools used by these 21st century artists will likely involve digital wizardry and embrace global awareness and responsible ecology. Carolyn Henne, chair of the art department, is guest curator.
"Trevor Bell: Both Sides of the Atlantic": From the Space Coast of Florida to the rugged cliffs of southwestern England, Bell has been drawn to dynamic environments as inspiration for his vibrant sculptural canvasses. The FSU emeritus professor has been rediscovered by the British art world since returning to England in 1996, and last year London's Tate added several of his paintings to its permanent collection.

Feb. 15 — Saturday Matinee of the Arts, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Tallahassee Museum, free: Saturday Matinee of the Arts presents a rich lineup of visual and performing arts and activities for children.

Feb. 15 — Geoffrey Gilmore: A Movie You Haven't Seen VII, 7:30 p.m., Ruby Diamond Concert Hall: $35; $10 for students. Gilmore, the chief creative officer at Tribeca Enterprises and former head of the Sundance Film Festival, sees more movies than just about anyone in the country. What's this year's movie? We won't know until the lights go down. But if Gilmore's picking it, and his past Seven Days presentations are any indication, it will be smart, provocative, heartfelt and brilliant.

Feb. 16 — New York Voices, 4 p.m., Opperman Music Hall: $40; $10 for students. The FSU Vocal Jazz Ensemble will perform with the Grammy Award- winning vocal group. Known for its close-knit voicing, inspired arrangements and unparalleled vocal blend, the group has refined their musical story to high art.

Feb. 16 — Lewis Black: The Rant is Due, 7:30 p.m., Ruby Diamond Concert Hall: SOLD OUTOne of today's most prolific performers, Black executes a brilliant trifecta as a stand-up comedian, actor and author. He has won two Grammy awards for Best Comedy Album and is well known on television for his recurrent segment on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show." He also has had acting roles in movies and has written three best-selling books.

Feb. 18 — Matt Bondurant and Jane Springer, 7:30 p.m., FSU Alumni Center Ballroom: $35; $10 for students. Bondurant and Springer are both FSU creative writing alumni. Bondurant's 2008 novel "The Wettest County in the World" was a New York Times Editor's Pick and was made into the feature film "Lawless," starring Shia LaBeouf.

March 4 — Nneena Freelon and Earl Klugh, 7:30 p.m., Opperman Music Hall: SOLD OUT. Six-time Grammy-nominated vocalist Freelon and Grammy Award-winning guitarist Klugh come together for a night of outstanding music. Freelon is a skillful interpreter of even the most familiar tunes, and Klugh is a true statesman of contemporary jazz in a recording career spanning more than three decades.

April 22 — Becca Stevens Band, 7:30 p.m. The Carriage House at the Goodwood Museum and Gardens: $35; $25 for Seven Days members. Stevens is a critically acclaimed singer, composer and guitarist whose music draws upon elements of pop, jazz and folk without limiting itself to the rules of any particular genre.

April 28 — Chanticleer: An Orchestra of Voices, 7:30 p.m., Ruby Diamond Concert Hall: $50, $35 or $25; $10 for students. Called the world's reigning male chorus by The New Yorker and named "Ensemble of the Year" by Musical America, the multi-Grammy Award-winning ensemble Chanticleer celebrates its 36th anniversary. The ensemble has commissioned more than 70 composers who have written more than 90 pieces premiered by the group.

Mural Project — ongoing throughout festival; location to be determined; participation is free. Now in its fourth year, in collaboration with the city of Tallahassee and Florida State's Department of Art Education, Seven Days of Opening Nights will sponsor a celebratory piece of art created by the community, for the community, during the course of the festival.
