Mar 13    Wunderkammer: Dance Performance
Join J. Lindsay Brown at The DANK Haus (German American Cultural Center) for "WUNDERKAMMER: The Cabinet of Curiosities": an eclectic collection of dances inspired by the moon, the ocean, and kingdoms far, far away.

The evening begins in 1969, a time when America burned with revolution, internal strife, and the discomfort of a rapidly changing world. Amid this chaos, three men catapulted into space in an unprecedented mission to the moon, carrying the words "We came in Peace for All Mankind." Drawing from interviews, biographies, and documentaries, "Moon Stories" focuses on the tense moments leading up to the moon landing, and the immense pressure of a giant leap for mankind.

From the moon, we are taken to the ocean to examine one tiny, earthly element: the pearl. An item that has long held extreme value in society, pearls begin their lives hidden in oyster shells on the bottom of the ocean floor, rolling, rubbing, and irritating their counterpart as they form into what we recognize as jewelry. Pulling from the mysteries, controversies, and extreme value that pearls hold, "Pearl Girls" investigates the development of the pearl, starting from the ocean floor to the necklaces they eventually become.

The first act concludes with guest choreographer Helen Zoerhof's re-staged work. Intense and theatrical, "Mit Kron und Schweif" depicts the old German poem, "Elfkoenig" which describes how a young boy and his father venture through a mystical forest. The boy claims he can see an enticing group of elves following them. The father, dismissing his son's claims as imaginations of youth, tucks his son into the bed, where the son slips into what seems to be a magical dreamland.

The final act of "WUNDERKAMMER" takes us to the world of fairytales through humor, partnering, text, and dance, Brown reconsiders the plights of several fairytale princesses to bring realism to the fantastical and three-dimensionality to well-known characters.

Mar 21    Trio Speranza at DANK Haus: Stylus Phantasticus, Old and New
Celebrate J.S. Bach's 330th birthday with Trio Speranza at DANK Haus German American Cultural Center located in Chicago's iconic Lincoln Square neighborhood. Enjoy German beers and other liquid refreshments available for purchase as you sit back and enjoy this program of German Baroque music in the Skyline Lounge! Suggested donation: $15; students $5.

Explore the enigmatic musical world of Northern Europe with a sojourn through works by Germanic composers. Dieterich Buxtehude’s compositions exemplify this ‘fantastic style’ that influenced contemporaries and successive generations of composers. Trio Speranza (Anna Griffis, violin; Cora Swenson Lee, cello; Jason Moy, harpsichord) explores the Stylus Phantasticus from its roots in Buxtehude through the tempestuous early works of J.S. Bach, and its evolution into the Galant style of Telemann, Abel, and others.

Trio Speranza is a dynamic new ensemble dedicated to presenting engaging and thought-provoking performances of both familiar and lesser-known repertoire from
the Baroque era. The group, comprising violinist Anna Griffis, cellist Cora Swenson Lee, and harpsichordist Jason Moy, made their debut in a Boston Early Music
Festival Fringe Concert at the historic Trinity Church on Copley Square in the summer of 2013, and won the Presentation Prize at the 2014 Early Music America
Baroque Performance Competition in Chicago. Collectively, they are alums of the Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute and Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute, and frequently perform with such respected ensembles as Boston Baroque, La Follia, Music of the Baroque, Tempesta di Mare, the Newberry Consort, and New Trinity Baroque, among others.
