3. Dear Patrons,
It takes years of dedication for a dancer to “fly” in the manner shown here.
Most of all, it requires a willingness to try something that seems downright daunting to
achieve. The moral here? If you don’t ever try, you’ll never fly.
Althoughmostofuscouldneverhopetoimitatethedancer’spose,we’reoften
equallychallengedbywhatseemtobedifficultgoals.Learninganotherlanguage. Losing
ten pounds. Traveling to far-off places. Eating different foods. All require motivation,
anopenmindand-iftheyaretoberealized,evenabitofchutzpa.Tryingisthefirststep
to flying.
The dancer’s flight is in the end a necessary leap of faith, a jump over hurdles
that often results in deep personal satisfaction. Last season alone, by experiencing the
richandextraordinaryvarietyofaward-winningartistsinmusic,dance,filmandlecture
at the D’Angelo Center, over 35,000 people from all over theTri-State region came away
with surprising fulfillment.
I invite you to take the leap, get your ticket and subscribe to our entire series,
thebestwayofensuringthatyouexperienceeventhoseshowsyoumightnototherwise
attend. Sure,there’sanelementoftheunknowninvolvedhere. Someoftheshowsmay
appear inaccessible. Others may lead you to doubt their capacity to be truly elevating.
My response to such hesitation? If you don’t try, you’ll never fly.
This season offers distinctive programming that will resonate powerfully
with patrons like you: individuals who share a passion for the authenticity, emotional
intensity, and intellectual challenge that only the best in the arts can evoke.
Come fly with us!

the eight members of the 30-year-old Dirty Dozen Brass Band
remainundaunted.They’vevowedtobringthetruespiritofthe
Big Easy to each of their concerts. Bursting with spunk, their
exciting mix of be-bop, R&B, jazz and soul has reinvented the
brass band while preserving what the New York Times calls
“a sense of communal jubilation.” Taking the stage first is
Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews and his own backup band,
Orleans Avenue. This 23-year-old grew up in the fabled Treme
neighborhood of the Crescent City, often playing to passersby
in Jackson Square. Since then he’s been dazzling audiences
here and abroad with his exuberant virtuosity, movingWynton
Marsalis to say,“I’m his biggest fan.”
