The Dancing Double Bass
Michael Geib, Alumni Recital, solo bass

Friday, April 12, 2024 at 5 p.m.
FREE
Samuel J. Cadden Chapel

Double Bassists are constantly searching for music to perform, as there is not an abundance of solo music written specifically for the instrument. Domenico Dragonetti’s 12 Waltzes are likely the first known works written for the unaccompanied modern double bass, yet they are not considered a standard part of the pedagogical repertoire. Geib hopes that these works will enable double bassists of all levels to add this wonderful, idiomatic music to their performance catalog. This concert features these brilliant waltzes, as well as other short vignettes written during the 18th and 19th Centuries.

April 15-20, 2024 at 7:30 p.m.
April 21, 2024 at 3 p.m.
$15 Adults, $10 Students
Bellamy Theatre

Tweetering, pandashrews and undying giddiness for James Madison – what else could you expect to find at a Miss America pageant? In this hilarious, raucous, all-female “power-play” inspired by Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator’s aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip. Here’s lookin’ at you, America.
