KRANNERT CENTER ANNOUNCES 2014-15 SEASON
High energy, contemplative, unexpected, reverent, inspiring, and esteemed—on the heels of its 45th anniversary celebration, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts presents the 2014-15 season. Artful encounters that cross genres and uplifting discoveries that span generations await all in the vibrant season of performances that lie ahead.
The Opening Night Party will sizzle with excitement as Mariachi Sol de México® de José Hernàndez, Tiempo Libre, and Samba Soul fill the lobby with hot Latin sounds. Big names like Renée Fleming, Cassandra Wilson, Rosanne Cash, and Wynton Marsalis are sure to thrill. A trio of performances in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I will let history reverberate, while commissioning projects with Gil Shaham, Ragamala Dance, and the Mark Morris Dance Group will propel the future of the arts. Exciting classical repertoire will ring anew in the Foellinger Great Hall as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony, Jupiter String Quartet, and young artists of the Salon Series—Emerging Artistry take to the stage. Families and audiences of all ages will relish the exuberance of Circus Oz and the National Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China, and there’s sure to be thunderous applause when KODO leads the lineup of artists for the March 14 Day of the Drum. The dynamic performances by the University of Illinois School of Music, Illinois Theatre, and Dance at Illinois, as well as those from Sinfonia da Camera and the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra are also featured in the listing below. The new season is chock full of diverse artists, consistent excellence, and uncommon creativity across a multiplicity of genres and from throughout the globe.
More details will be available right here on Thursday, July 24.
