Modlin Center - an amazing year!
We here at ART love the Modlin Center. This past season was amazing; everything from Black Watch to Bela Fleck and the Flecktones to The Great Monkey Trial to Ravi Shankar and a whole bunch of great stuff in between. They really do some of the best and most varied entertainment in Richmond. If you have not checked them out yet, I highly recommend making a point of taking in at least two or three different things, there is something for everyone in their seasons.
Speaking of their seasons - I cannot wait for the 2006-2007 season. I recently heard on the radio some of what might be coming - very exciting stuff. Their website announces that subscriptions go on sale July 5th. Keep your eye on their site for the new line-up next season or sign up for their email list.
UPDATE:
Their newest email includes specifics on the lineup for next season - fantastic!
"Cirque Eloize, the Modlin Center's most popular attraction by far, returns to campus in January with a new production, "Rain." This little cousin to Cirque du Soleil presented four sold out shows in 2003 and now returns with its signature blend of circus arts. MOMIX also returns to Richmond to perform its newest magical multimedia piece, "Lunar Sea." To miss Moses Pendleton's "Lunar Sea" would be sheer lunacy!
Two recent artists, banjo-master Bela Fleck and pianist Chick Corea, who both performed this past season with their own groups, will return to the Modlin Center stage as an acoustic duo. We also welcome back perennial favorites Shanghai Quartet and eighth blackbird as they return to their "home away from home" at the Modlin Center.
Always a large part of any Modlin Center season, world music takes center stage with several new artists. Tiempo Libre is one the hottest young Latin bands today, and their performance will bring the audience to their feet and dancing in the aisles. Hungarian violinist Roby Lakatos visits town with his Gypsy Ensemble. Lakatos combines aspects of Western classical violin technique with jazz, Middle Eastern rhythms and pop in an extraordinary display of virtuosity.
One of our most exciting events of the 2006-2007 season will undoubtedly be author and humorist David Sedaris, scheduled for Richmond's Landmark Theater. His sardonic wit and incisive social critique have made him one of America's pre-eminent creative writers.
The complete season will be announced in July and subscription orders will be accepted beginning July 5 when the box office reopens. To receive the printed brochure, update your account information this month using the link at the end of this message. Or visit our Web site in July for all the details. We look forward to seeing you in the audience next season!"
