Redfern Arts Center 2008-09 Season Celebrates Keene State College’s Centennial

The Georgia Guitar Quintet will open Redfern’s 2008-09 Presenting Series on October 4.

From Bill Menezes, Redfern: For 100 years, the arts have played an important role in the life of Keene State College, and Redfern’s 2008-09 Presenting Series will honor that tradition with a season that builds on the past, looks to the future, and celebrates KSC’s Centennial. The 2008-09 season will open on Saturday, October 4, with the dynamic Georgia Guitar Quartet.

This year, three visiting artists return to perform at the Redfern. In keeping with the theme of building on the past to celebrate the future, they will bring their latest creations: In March, the chamber theatre group Core Ensemble will perform Ain’t I a Woman, celebrating the life and times of four remarkable African-American women.

Also in March, one of New York’s hottest dance companies, Keigwin + Company, will perform Elements, an evening-length work that premiered this summer at the Bates Dance Festival. In April, I Musici de Montréal, on its 25th anniversary tour, will perform Moussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition with large-screen projections of paintings inspired by the original paintings that in turn inspired Moussorgsky’s timeless music.

Tickets for these and other performances may be ordered by calling 8-2168 or visiting http://www.keene.edu/racbp.
