SUMMARY:Award-Winning Street Painter to Create Image in UAMA Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the University of Arizona Museum of Art's upcoming exhibition\, \"The Aesthetic Code\: Unraveling the Secrets of Art\,\" Melanie Stimmell\, renowned street painter\, will create an extreme perspective painting on the UAMA's main gallery floor.  Viewers can watch the painting develop over the three days of the performance.  The finished painting will remain as part of the exhibition.  Stimmell is internationally recognized\; she has worked in Turkey\, Holland\, Canada\, Italy\, Germany\, France and throughout the United States.  In Italy this summer Stimmell won the gold medal in the Maestro category at the Incontro Nazionale Madonnari in Grazie di Curtatone for her \"Madonna con Bambino.\"  Specializing in bringing old masters to life\, Stimmell will design a unique image for the UAMA exhibition.    Extreme perspective painting is famous for making sense to the viewer's eye from only one viewing point.  From the other angles the painting is almost unrecognizable.  Stimmell says of her work\, \"My street paintings are a performance in visual art\, using the asphalt as my canvas.  My imagery\, traditional in execution but whimsical in style\, is a powerful statement of ephemeral beauty.  Fading with the wind\, rain\, and footsteps\, the once vivid imagery is soon lost to the evolution of the surface.\"  At UAMA Stimmell will work on canvas on the gallery floor\, so the painting will not be lost to \"the wind\, rain\, and footsteps.\"  UAMA will have special weekend hours to accommodate Stimmell's performance.  The museum will be open all three days of the event from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.   Stimmell is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America\, and the co-founder of two prominent organizations in the chalk painting world\: the Street Painting Society and the Street Painting Academy.  She has been street painting since 1998 and is known for her traditional Madonnari style\, trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) and 3-D anamorphic work.  Don't miss this opportunity to see a masterpiece in the making.  It is an experience that you will never forget.  The event is free with museum admission.  It is a perfect time to become a UAMA member\, since the primary benefit of membership is free admission to UAMA.

SUMMARY:UA Opera Theater and the Arizona Symphony Chamber Ensemble Present \"Albert Herring\" 
DESCRIPTION:The University of Arizona Opera Theater presents its fall production of Benjamin Britten's \"Albert Herring.\" Two performances will be offered\, one at 7\:30 p.m. on Nov. 19 and one at 3 p.m. on Nov. 21.\"Albert Herring\,\" which premiered in 1947\,  is a delightful chamber opera that combines humor with touches of melancholy. Britten parodies the pompous English townsfolk who decide that since there are no virtuous girls acceptable to be chosen for May Queen\, the somewhat simple Herring should be the town's May King.Jackson Warren\, music director and conductor for this production\, remarked\, \"'Albert Herring' is a delightful\, yet unusual comedy\, featuring a witty score\, and a youthful vigor that pervades from curtain to curtain.\" Fully staged\, with costumes and supertitles\, the opera is under the artistic direction of Charles Roe.The cast includes Stephanie Martin\, Mackenzie Romriell\, Asleif Wilmer\, Seth Kershisnik\, Lyle Brown\, Kyle Connor\, Dennis Tamblyn\, Ana Miller\, Greg Guenther\, Angeline Chairez\, Jovahnna Anderson\, Jenny Brobeck and James Cockrell.

SUMMARY:\"A Musical Evening at the Home of Eminent Surgeon Mr. John Hunter\, and Mrs. Anne Hunter\"
DESCRIPTION:\"A Musical Evening at the Home of Eminent Surgeon Mr. John Hunter\, and Mrs. Anne Hunter\" is a theatrical-musical performance featuring Eckart Sellheim as Franz Joseph Haydn\, performing on the fortepiano\; Dian Baker as his protégée\, Rebecca Schroeter\; Dr. Joseph Alpert of the Sarver Heart Center as John Hunter\; Kristin Dauphinais as Harriett Abrams\; Dr. Vincent Sorrell of the Sarver Heart Center as Everard Home and Paula Fan as Anne Home Hunter\, introduced by Susan Hardy Aiken.When the composer \"Papa Haydn\" came to London for the first time in 1791\, he was a frequent guest at the Hunter residence at 28 Leicester Square. His initial visit was a consultation with the man he described as \"the greatest and most celebrated chyrugus in London\,\" the pioneering surgeon and anatomist John Hunter. The proposed operation for nasal polyps prompted decisive action on the part of the composer. However\, he continued to visit at the invitation of Hunter's wife\, Anne Home Hunter\, who was both an accomplished musician and poet. Some of her works were published\, but anonymously\, attributed only to \"A Lady\,\" a practice not uncommon to the time. Anne Home Hunter hosted numerous musical and literary evenings\, frequented by some of the most distinguished cultural figures of the time. These gatherings were described as \"conversation parties\" in which the discourse was \"of the most instructive kind.\" On other occasions\, music played a major part\; James Boswell's diary includes an entry\: \"Went with my wife and two daughters to a concert at Mrs. Hunter's.\" Haydn set six of Anne Home Hunter's poems\, which were published in a volume\, dedicated to her in 1794.

The group is comprised of both undergraduate and graduate students form the percussion studio and is dedicated to performing only the highest quality percussion literature.  Guest artist Grant Collins will be joining the group for two amazing compositions\: John Bergamo's \"Foreign Objects\" will feature Collins with members of the ensemble\; Collins' own piece\, called \"The Do What Song\,\" will feature members of the totally electronic percussion group\, CrossTalk.  Grant is one of the forerunners in the industry\, forever pushing the limits and confines of music and leading cutting edge\, creative and unconventional drumming. His approach defies stereotypical drum set methodologies with his innovative and enthralling solo drum set compositions. He uses all four limbs both individually and as a collective to present multi-timbral soundscapes\, defining the drum set as a contemporary solo instrument for the world stage.  We are thrilled that the Pride of Arizona drumline will be the featured group at this performance. The drumline will present music from the 2010 show \"Music of Muse\,\" along with traditional favorites such as \"Selected Warmups\" and \"A Minute with Mike\" by Vicente Lopez.
