Yo-Yo Ma will lead the Silk Road Ensemble in a free concert on the New Haven
Green at 7 p.m. June 11, opening the 16th annual International Festival of
Arts & Ideas
Founded by Yo-Yo Ma in 2000, the ensemble is a collective of musicians,
arrangers, and composers dedicated "to preserving authentic classical
traditions while nourishing global connections." The performance marks the
ensemble's Connecticut debut and the superstar cellist's first appearance in
the state since 2007.
Yo-Yo Ma received the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U
.S., from President Barack Obama in February.
"Just as the Silk Road Ensemble resplendently illuminates the 2011 Festival
theme, two other main stage events also address matters of culture, history,
and collective memory and perceptions, but in different and provocative
ways," said Mary Lou Aleskie, Executive Director of the festival.
"The Cripple of Inishmaan," (pictured below), a co-production by Druid
Theatre of Galway and Atlantic Theater Company of New York that received
rave reviews off-Broadway in 2008, will be presented at Yale's University
Theatre, June 15-19. Druid is currently touring the U.S. with the play by
Martin McDonagh and directed by Tony award-winner Garry Hynes. The show is
part of "Imagine Ireland," an initiative of Culture Ireland celebrating a
year of Irish arts in America.

The body politic and body politics of race, gender, and sexuality are
recurring subjects in works by Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, which
will perform two programs at Yale's University Theatre, June 23-25. The
first evening, entitled "Body Against Body," consists of grappling duets
rooted in contact improvisation, first choreographed and last performed more
than 30 years ago by Jones and Zane (who died of AIDS-related causes in
1988), which proclaimed their arrival in New York's experimental dance scene
. This will be followed by two performances of "Serenade/The Proposition,"
(pictured below), a dance-theater piece that draws upon the writings of
Abraham Lincoln and his contemporaries juxtaposed with Jones's memories as a
child of African American migrant farm workers.

Other ticketed events are:
Susan Marshall & Company will perform "Adamantine" and unveil a video
installation, created especially for the Festival, of Marshall's "Frame
Dances" at the Frederick Iseman Theater, June 15 to 18.
The Courtyard Concert series, June 14 to16, showcases on three consecutive
evenings New York's Bang On A Can All-Stars playing music by indie rockers
Brian Eno, Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Dave Longstreth (Dirty Projectors)
and Bryce Dessner (The National); Benin-born Afro-jazz guitarist and
vocalist Lionel Loueke; and Haiti's singer-songwriter Emeline Michel
Jack Hitt, best known for telling both funny and investigative stories on
the public radio show "This American Life," presents a new solo theater work
entitled "Making Up The Truth", in which he wonders, "Why do these things
always happen to me?," June 21 to 24 at Long Wharf Theatre's Stage II.
A theatrical staging of the one-man opera "Soldier Songs," composed by David
T. Little, sung by baritone David Adam Moore, and performed by the octet
Newspeak, takes place June 23 to 25 at the Frederick Iseman Theater. "
Soldier Songs" is based on Little's interviews with veterans who served in
World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The Festival will also other dance, music, theater, and music-theater works,
free concerts on the New Haven Green, and family-friendly interactive
events, including free concerts by Jose Condé backed by the nu Latin groove
and the Cosmic Jibaros as the opener (June 12); Canadian fiddler Natalie
