Description:
Darrell Grant and One O?clock Jump
Once upon a time in a place called Harlem, jazz was thrivin? from a riff, hips were shakin? and the rent party was going all night long. Piano was the king of instruments, and the rulers went by names like Basie, Ellington, Garner, Tatum, Wilson, and Ahmad Jamal. Grant?s piano trio revives the sound of an era in all its irrepressible glory.

Vagabond Opera
Can this much fun be legal? Equal parts theater and music, this intoxicating sextet sings, dances, and generally transports audiences to a Bohemian world of Left Bank nightclubs, accordions and absinthe. A bouillabaisse of gypsy music, klezmer, and 1930?s Parisian cabaret-style fare.

Description:
Step inside Lan Su Yuan?Garden of Awakening Orchids?and be transported across time and place. Inside this authentic Ming dynasty (1368-1644) scholar?s garden, you will discover the culture of China?s vast civilization embedded within the five elements?stone, water, plants, architecture, and poetic inscriptions. Learn how to ?read the landscape? and to engage your students?across the curriculum?in the cultural narrative so richly expressed within the Chinese Garden.
Teachers will learn how to use what is revealed as well as what is concealed within the art, history, culture, poetry and botanicals found within the Chinese Garden. You will learn how to use this ?Gateway to China? in your diverse classrooms. Tours of the Garden will be expanded in curriculum sessions providing multi-disciplinary K-12 lessons appropriate for students of diverse learning styles and abilities. Teachers will leave with a vast array of curriculum to put into immediate use in their own classrooms. A DVD virtual tour of the Chinese Garden and the book Listen to the Fragrance: Poetic Inscriptions in Lan Su Yuan will also be included. As a bonus: a hands-on brush painting class will allow you to see the Garden?s living landscape painting in a new light.
