Pre-concert lecture at 7:15. Kenneth Kiesler, conductor. Jerry Blackstone and Eugene Rogers, choir directors. Musical forces join together for Carl Orff’s seminal masterpiece Carmina Burana. One of the most famous musical compositions of the 20th century, the powerful musical settings of texts written by monks and students in the 13th century still ring true today: the fickleness of fortune, the fleetingness of life, the primal thrill of the return of spring, and the pleasures and perils of lust, drinking, gambling and gluttony. The program will also include a concerto performed by one of the winners of STMD’s concerto competition. PROGRAM: Bartok - First Piano Concerto Timothy Krippner, piano (2012 Concert Competition Winner); Orff - Carmina Burana

In 1992 Mike Doughty was working as a doorman at New York's legendary Knitting Factory club. With musicians he met there he formed Soul Coughing, a great 1990s band whose unclassifiable mix of rock, beat poetry, hip-hop, and electronica gained in passionate admiration what it lost in mainstream success. The reasons for Soul Coughing's 2000 breakup included Doughty's own drug addiction. His reinvention of himself as a solo singer-songwriter has brought new creativity, warmth, and, dare we say it, a bit of lightening up as he has sung, written, and blogged about a huge range of topics from the personal to the political to the whimsical. Mike comes to Michigan with a new release, "Yes and Also Yes," that includes one song in German and other accompanied by a Chinese zither.
