Popejoy presents: Duke Ellington Orchestra
Thursday, March 20, 2008, 7:30pm
Duke Ellington created over two thousand pieces of music including the standard songs “Take the A-Train” and “It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” and the longer works Black, Brown, and Beige; Liberian Suite; and Afro-Eurasian Eclipse. Ellington was responsible for many innovations in the jazz field, such as “jungle-style” use of the growl and plunger and the employment of the human voice as an instrument – singing notes without words. Under the direction of Barrie Lee Hall, Jr., the Duke Ellington Orchestra is a national treasure and continues to tour to enthusiastic audiences world wide at prestigious jazz festivals, international festivals and performing arts centers.

Where: Open Space Visitor Center (OSVC)
6500 Coors Blvd., NW
(Between Montaño & Paseo del Norte at Bosque Meadows Rd.)
505-897-8831
When: Sunday March 9, 2008 @ 2:00 pm
Cost: $15.00 Please RSVP for this event no later than March 6, 2008, limited seating
Contact: Joshua Willis, Parks & Recreation Dept., Open Space Division, 505-897-8831, jrwillis@cabq.gov
http://www.cabq.gov/openspace
“The wealth of wildlife habitat found here in Albuquerque is unmatched! The environmental education training that the Open Space Division provides is a wonderful way to learn about our marvelous Natural World[size=.]”
Mayor Martin J. Chávez
We often need to be reminded just how important wild places are by people who have dedicated their lives to the preservation of wilderness. The power of imagination suffers as we commute to and from our homes to work day after day. Our daily routines play out in front of flat screen monitors and TV’s, behind a steering wheel, or as we run the world from our ergonomic swivel chairs. These routines drain the batteries and dull our senses. The good news is there is still a place we can go to rekindle our natural vitality for living! We may turn towards Nature. Nature can revive our ability to take time, listen, speak softly and track our love of the outdoors into the forest, down to the river or up the mountain. On March 6, 2008 at the Open Space Visitor Center (OSVC) wildlife tracker Casey McFarland will use his skill as a teacher and tracker to remind us just how important our Earth really is.
Rekindling the power of observation in each living, breathing person is the objective of Casey McFarland. Casey approaches Nature with a sense of reverence. Casey’s skills as a wildlife tracker have led him all over the planet tracking predators such as the stealthy Pine Martin to our native Mountain Lions here in New Mexico. Yet as you speak to Casey you get a sense that predators are not the only intriguing creatures he has become familiar with in the wild. “Tracking provides us the opportunity to learn about all manner of critter from caribou to kangaroo rats. In a decade of teaching I have found that wildlife tracking rapidly builds ‘connection to place’ by allowing people to begin to see and read the activities of our wild neighbors. What was once invisible to the eye becomes a doorway to powerful recognition of the importance of biodiversity. During my talk emphasis will be placed on using wildlife tracking as a means of combating ‘nature deficit disorder’ (Richard Louve), how we learn the skill of tracking and its benefits for adults as well as children, and how connection to place is formulated by personal experience.” Casey demonstrates the importance of looking into nature holistically with eyes that reveal the intricate patters that define wilderness. Casey seeks to instill in each person an invigorated spirit and a set of eyes that can penetrate the veil of modernity so that we may perceive nature with respect. His talk will stress the responsibility adults have in teaching a love for nature to their children, and how adults may, too, reconnect with their own youth by embracing the tracker buried in each of us. To learn more about Casey visit his website http://wildlifetrackingsouthwest.com.
Getting outside is the bottom line here. Casey will teach us how to detect and track animals in their natural setting. His talk will begin with a slide show where he shares some of his own experiences and begins to train us to see with increased awareness. He will then take the group into the field for a brief tracking excursion in the Bosque adjacent to the Open Space Visitor Center. His lecture and demonstration will last approximately 2.5 hours. Interested individuals are asked to RSVP by e-mailing: jrwillis@cabq.gov or by calling the OSVC at 897-8831. The beautiful OSVC is located at 6500 Coors Boulevard between Montaño and Paseo del Norte at the end of Bosque Meadows Rd. Please come and enjoy this youthful presentation.

THE ADVENTURES OF FRIENDS A Year with Frog and Toad Brings Exuberance to Popejoy Hall  Albuquerque, NM - February 8, 2008 A Year with Frog and Toad, a musical for the entire family, comes to Popejoy Hall at 2:00pm on Sunday, March 2, 2008. A Year with Frog and Toad comes to New Mexico as part of Popejoy Presents sponsored by Sandia Resort and Casino and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico.
A hit on Broadway, A Year with Frog and Toad was nominated for 3 Tony" Awards - including Best Musical. Arnold Lobel's beloved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale's musical A Year With Frog and Toad. Developed by Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, the stage musical remains true to the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.
A Year with Frog and Toad bubbles with melody and wit. Its jazzy upbeat sound is a perfect match for the hopping, crawling and flying denizens that inhabit Frog and Toad's world. Featuring a small cast that doubles in several roles and simple, suggestive costumes and staging, A Year with Frog and Toad serves as a great introduction to theatre for youngsters, as well as keeping adults entertained.
Adrianne Lobel, who developed this musical, also designs scenery for theatre, opera and dance. Her Broadway productions include A Year with Frog and Toad, On The Town, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Passion. National and International opera credits include Lady in the Dark at The Royal National Theatre, London, and Platee at Covent Garden. Lobel has designed for The Acting Company, The American Repertory Theater, The Goodman Theater, and many more. Author of A Year with Frog and Toad, Arnold Lobel, wrote and/or illustrated over 70 books for children throughout his career. In addition to the Frog and Toad books, Owl at Home, Mouse Tales, The Book of Pigericks, and many other popular books he created, Lobel also illustrated other writers' texts that captured his fancy. Often, his illustrations for those books showed a different aspect of his personality and his artistic expertise, ranging from his meticulous dinosaurs in Dinosaur Time by Peggy Parish to his chilling pen-and-ink drawings in Nightmares: Poems to Trouble Your Sleep by Jack Pretlutsky.
Tickets for adults for A Year with Frog and Toad are $29, $19 and $15 and children ages 12 and under are $20, $10, and $6. Patrons may purchase tickets by calling (877) 664-8661 or (505) 925-5858. Tickets are sold at UNM Ticket Offices at the UNM Bookstore, Central and Cornell and the UNM Arena (The Pit), University and Avenida César Chávez. Bookstore location hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 am to 6pm and Saturday from noon until 4pm. The Pit location hours are 8:30 to 5pm Monday through Friday. Tickets may be purchased online by visiting the UNM ticketing website at http://www.unmtickets.com. Tickets may also be purchased at select Albertson's locations.

BILL BRANDT: A RETROSPECTIVE The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History March 2, 2008 – May 18, 2008
British master photographer Bill Brandt’s wide ranging work is explored in a comprehensive exhibition Bill Brandt: A Retrospective opening Sunday, March 2, 2008, at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History with a lecture by Nancy Sutor on Bill Brandt and his contemporaries at 1:00 pm, followed by an opening exhibition reception from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.
From Brandt’s early work that documents fixed social contrasts of pre-World War II life in Britain to his later experimentation with a surreal style, this exhibition spans 50 years of Brandt’s far reaching career in an extensive assemblage of 155 vintage gelatin silver prints from the Bill Brandt Archive in London. Brandt’s vision, unconfined by easy categories, extends from photojournalism to moody, atmospheric landscapes to stark, revealing portraiture to high-contrast nudes, distorted with very wide-angle lenses.
Brandt (British, b. Germany 1904-1983) once wrote, “Photography is still a very new medium and everything is allowed and everything should be tried.” Although driven by historic periods and events, Brandt’s endless invention and continual search for ways to expand the medium makes his work fresh and timeless. So strong was his presence during the middle of the twentieth century that histories of photography often imply that he was the only photographer in Britain during that period.
“No other British photographer has made so many memorable photographs as Bill Brandt. He excelled in all fields –social scenes, Surrealism, night photography, wartime documentary, landscape, portraiture and the nude,” writes Mark Hayworth-Booth, curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
Brandt worked as Man Ray’s assistant in Paris in 1929 and returned to London in the 1930s to become a freelancer for the Weekly Illustrated. Some of this work was later published as his first book, The English at Home. In contrast with his contemporaries in Depression-era America, Brandt developed an expressive, high-key style that pushed accepted boundaries of documentary and journalism when photographing the destitute villages and mining towns of northern England.
“He photographed sharp social contrasts, the glittering surfaces of a rich and imperial city, compared with its humble East End; the coal-black buildings of the northern industrial heartland and the cool, moonlit streets of black-out London during the period of eerie calm at the beginning of the Second World War,” describes Hayworth-Booth.
During the “blitz” of World War II, Brandt photographed London by night and followed the crowds into the Underground to escape the bombs. After the war, Brandt’s work underwent a shift in focus. He left his documentary style behind and returned to his interests in the surreal. As Brandt himself explained it, his “main theme of the past few years had disappeared; England was no longer a country of marked social contrast.” Brandt then turned to nudes, portraits and landscapes.
Brandt’s formally plastic and haunting nude studies from this period were published in Perspective of Nudes (1961) and are considered today as some of his most innovative work. Using an old wooden plate camera with an ultra-wide-view lens, Brandt defined new territory showing among other things, photography’s kinship with sculpture and modernist abstraction. At the same time, Brandt developed the symbolist potential of photography in a series of landscapes inhabited by the spirit of Romanticism and directly inspired by the writings of poets and novelists such as Emily Brontë.
Himself an important figure of the British artistic and intellectual scene, Brandt produced striking portraits of celebrated contemporaries, such as Francis Bacon, E.M. Forester, Rene Magritté and Henry Moore.
In 1969, New York’s Museum of Modern Art honored Brandt with the first retrospective of his work. Several solo shows followed at both museums and galleries in Europe and the United States. In 1981, two years before Brandt’s death, the Royal Photographic Society inaugurated its National Center of Photography in Bath with a retrospective.
Bill Brandt: A Retrospective, curated by John-Paul Kernot, is organized by the Bill Brandt Archive and is circulated by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions (CATE), Los Angeles.
