Letter FromThe Executive Director
The 2015-16 season of music flows from traditional roots to rock ‘n’ roll;
from freedom songs to jazz, and many styles in between. The theme of the Tribeca
Dance event (“Forgiveness” by B3W) focuses on social issues that have become
mainstream topics by presidential candidates of 2016. Our young audiences will
be reacquainted with traditional characters like Peter Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland
and Charlotte, as well as our old time favorite Dr. Seuss. In addition, we have
acrobats from China to entertain all ages. We welcome back returning friends and
patrons, and for you newcomers, thanks for including Tribeca PAC as one of your
entertainment venues.
The season opens with the National Circus & Acrobats of China performing
“Peking Dreams”. The acts in the show include contortionists and juggling, to
name a few. The company has won over twenty Gold and Silver medals and various
other awards. No one is too young or too old to enjoy this group!
Tribeca Spotlight: The NextVoiceYou Hear features David Gonzalez with “City
of Dreams” featuring the Poetic License Band. David has performed for our
Schooltime program in the past and we are so pleased to include him in our
Spotlight program with this show where spoken word meets Latin jazz. The Grip
Weeds, known as a Psychedelic Rock/Power Pop quartet, and the Christine Spero
Group, whose performance will be a tribute to rock ‘n’ roll from the 1960s and
1970s, will bring back the nostalgia from that era.
The Jazz programs will continue with the Lost Jazz Shrines concert musically
directed by Bob Stewart. The show will celebrate Sweet Basil, formerly located
on 88 Seventh Avenue at Bleecker St. It opened in January 1975 by Horst Liepolt
and Mel Litoff and flourished throughout the 1980s. Musicians such as Ron Carter,
Junior Mance, Pharoah Sanders, Doc Cheatham and Lester Bowie have played at
Sweet Basil. The performance will feature the music of trumpet player Lester
Bowie, a native of St. Louis, MO. He is a musician steeped in several genres of the
black experience, gospel, blues, R&B and jazz.
Our Dance Series is a collaboration between the dance company Beyond Third
Wave (B3W), composer Daniel Bernard Roumain, and writers Todd Craig and
Sarita Covington. The production,“Forgiveness”, features personal stories on social
injustice.
Make us your entertainment destination. Visit our web site, www.tribecapac.org for
