Daily Weeker I Campus Arts 1997 Campus arts keeps 'U' alive with music, dance, theater in 1997 monday s of 1997 a6 Alberto Bands' State Street of Music Opera By Stephanie Love Daily Campus Arts Editor In looking for a way to sum up the past year's events, perhaps the idea of campus arts itself says it all. Campus arts, a term that only begins to express the scope of what it includes, encom- passes everything from the School of Music to the basement of the Frieze Building to Hill Auditorium. Ann Arbor is lucky to have a consistently excellent lineup of events in any given year, and 1997 proved to be no exception. The problem? Where to begin. On the professional level, the University Musical Society brought a diverse schedule of events, ranging from the familiar to the unusual, to Ann Arbor. From the choreography of Japanese Kodo drumming to the beauty and precision of the chamber orchestra Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, UMS provided concertgoers with an array of musical styles in the winter of 1997. Fans of Wynton Marsalis' composi- tion "Blood on the Fields," which pre- miered in April, await an encore April 1998 appearance, which is already sold out. Other notable events included the Harlem Nutcracker, making a repeat December stop in Ann Arbor after a successful run in 1996, and the 1997 Ford Honors Program that presented opera legend Jessye Norman, a former graduate student at the School of Music, with the second UMS Distinguished Artist Award on April 26. The 1997 UM S season, besides bringing great artists to Ann Arbor, also brought a new kind of audience to per- formances. Salsa queen Celia Cruz had the audience dancing in the aisles of Hill Auditorium in November. A few weeks later, the aisles were filled again when Itzhak Perlman performed in December's "In the Fiddler's House," perhaps the best event of the season. The performance was topped only by the incredible lyricism of Cecilia Bartoli's eagerly awaited September recital. In addition, UMS has looked to bring non-Western performances to Ann Arbor, some of which included the National Traditional Orchestra of China, the Pakistani Faridi Qawwals See CAMPUS, Page 108 r Choir in Perlman 's 10th 1 Marsalis od on the Orchestra us Arts Staff CAMPUS CINEMA Deconstructing Harry See Thursday. 5, 7 and 9 p.m. MUSIC Bird of Paradise Orchestra Jazz stylings for your listening pleasure.
