    New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players H.M.S. Pinafore, or The Lass that Loved a Sailor

    Williams Center for the Arts
    $30 for the general public; $6 for non-Lafayette students with valid I.D.
    07:00 PM - 09:00 PM on Sat, 30 Oct 2021
    A seaworthy satire of overblown nationalism and British social order, H.M.S. Pinafore put the wind in Gilbert and Sullivan’s sails and ushered in the modern musical theater. Composer Arthur Sullivan and librettist W.S. Gilbert armed their first internationally successful comic operetta with rousing choruses, merry character tunes, and some of the most memorable songs in the English language, including “When I Was a Lad,” a searing sendup of governmental ineptitude. Skewering the tropes of Victorian melodrama, this pageant of mismatched marriages and mistaken identity resolves in the most preposterous manner, yet remains a timeless reminder that true love triumphs over class distinction.

    Fans of legendary folk icons The Kingston Trio can re-discover their timeless music all over again. In celebration of 60 years of music, the iconic folk group performs their best loved songs as part of the ‘Keep The Music Playing’ national tour. All three current members, Mike Marvin, Tim Gorelangton and Don Marovich, have intrinsic links to the original group: Mike is the “adopted son” of founding member Nick Reynolds, who was also his musical mentor; Tim, a friend of John Stewart since he was in his early twenties, is one of the few musicians outside the Trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Don Marovich, a highly regarded musician who has also toured with the original Trio.

With a traditional ensemble of zithers, flutes, drums, and gongs, Ak Dan Gwang Chil builds on Korean musical forms and delivers them with 21st-century showmanship in buoyant, swinging performances. The result is nothing short of a spiritual experience filled with positive energy. “A most astonishing show musically and immensely entertaining—WOW!!!” (NPR Music).

    $35 for the general public; $6 for non-Lafayette students with valid I.D.
    08:00 PM - 11:59 PM on Tue, 16 Nov 2021
    That “crystalline tone…those airborne, searching melodies” (NPR). It’s a sound that can belong only to Pat Metheny, an NEA Jazz Master nearly without peer on any instrument. With Side-Eye, Metheny is joined by up-and-coming musicians with whom he shares musical kinship: James Francies, hailed “a pianist with liquid dynamism in his touch” by The New York Times, and drummer Joe Dyson, whose unpretentious musicality draws admiration on jazz stages around the world. As Pat Metheny Side-Eye, the three revel in the guitar legend’s emblematic style—loose and flexible articulation blended with an advanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility.
