Bruce Wood Dance Company
Tuesday, January 18, 7:30
p.m.
Helena Civic Center
|
Bruce Wood was a George Balanchine-trained principal dancer for
the New York Ballet and San Francisco Ballet before he was given
his life's greatest challenge: to create a ballet for a small
dance company in Austin, Texas. His life was transformed, and
he was driven to form the Bruce Wood Dance Company to showcase
his subsequent works. |
This performance will feature some stunning performances from
the heart of modern dance. The program includes new works performed
to music of Philip Glass and Lyle Lovett, as well as a new ballet
that debuted in early 2004 that honors people in the military
service.

Ian Tyson
Friday, January 21, 8:00
p.m.
Myrna Loy Center
|
The legendary Ian Tyson, composer of "Navajo Rug,"
"Four Strong Winds" and "Someday Soon," as
well as a number of cowboy and folk classics, will perform an
intimate concert for all those who hated to miss him last winter.
Ian Tyson began his career as a folk singer (the great half
of Ian and Sylvia), then re-invented his career about 20 years
ago when he presented his own personal brand of cowboy songs
to a wildly enthusiastic audience at the Elko, |
Nevada Cowboy Poetry Gathering. He's now in his 70s, winner
of numerous music awards, and "remains the best singer and
songwriter in Canadian Country music" (Montreal Gazette).
Ian Tyson is as engaging as he's ever been. His older songs
are as fresh as dew on a sweetgrass meadow, and his new pieces
reflect the dignity, heartbreak and joy of a poetic man who has
lived a great life on the Northern prairie.

Philip Aaberg and Eugene
Friesen
Including performance of new Aaberg music
Thursday, January 27, 7:30
p.m.
Myrna Loy Center
|
The Aaberg/Friesen Duo merges pretty much every American music
tradition into a circus of virtuosity, improvisation and soul. This
is chamber music-but the chamber is a fun house that shifts shape,
color and furnishings with every tune, and may go from being
a meditation room to a horse trailer in the span of 5 minutes. The
two have separately, at one time or another, been at the forefront
of many new music trends, yet have kept their grounding in various
American traditions: classical, bluegrass, rock and roll,
and folk music. Their improvisational skills are at an extraordinary
level...so expect the unexpected! |

Magnolias of the title: beautiful, but strong enough to survive
any challenge together. |

Band to celebrate the history of the U.S. Forest Service in Montana

and tunes based on the stories of the Gold Rush and the building
of the railroads. |
Patrick Michael Karnahan's songs are articulate narrative
ballads -"Underneath Montana Skies" stands out in particular
- "Rocky Road to Reno" mixes Celtic folk with Spanish
brass. "16" sounds vaguely like the Nitty Gritty Dirt
Band and "Men of Iron" has bluegrass affinities. This
is the band's second stop at the Myrna Loy Center and we're excited
to have them back. |

Storyhill: New Composition
 Acclaimed for their
tight harmonies and soulful lyrics, Storyhill has performed and

years. Natives of Montana Chris Cunningham and John Hermanson
have released 11 CDs, sold 45,000 copies to date, have toured

Composer Kelli Roberti with MJ Williams
Quartet: Ghost Tango Project
 While living in Paris in 1996
jazz musician and composer Kelli Roberti became enthralled with
the romance of Tango music. "I would journey into the Metro
to listen to the wonderful street musicians, and many of them
were playing Tango, both conventional and modern," Roberti
says. "The rhythm and heart of the music truly struck me.
Upon returning to Montana in '97 I proceeded to study the history,
form and dance of the genre. This was the beginning of a series
of compositions that, unbeknown to me, would snowball into 13
tangos of my own making…. I am totally grateful and relieved
to finally get the opportunity to present the series." Roberti's
Ghost Tango Project will be performed here by Montana's
stupendous M J Williams Quartet.
The Myrna Loy Center has curated these premier NWNW performances
as part of The Northwest New Works Program (see www.ontheboards.org)
showcasing new works and performance experiments by artists of

Imani Winds
Friday, October 14 - 8:00 p.m.

At first, their weaving together of Pan-African and European musical sensibilities raised
eyebrows in the classical music world. Then Imani Winds (named for the Swahili word for "faith")

African-American spirituals, jazz and edgy contemporary pieces at Alice Tully Hall, on Saint
Paul Sunday and Perfomance Today, and at Carnegie Hall, they have won even the stodgiest hearts.

The Be Good Tanyas
Friday, November 18 - 8:00 p.m.

Their music has been described as beguiling, haunting, rustic, ambient, hobo-erotica,

they toured nonstop-North America, England, Australia-then back home to record their second
CD, 'Chinatown.' Both old-tymey and new-tymey, their lush harmonies and raw soul delivery
are as invigorating as a walk in the woods.
