When Sonny Rollins picks up the tenor saxophone, the world listens. One of the most important and influential jazz artists ever, he is often called a “Saxophone Colossus,” and as the Village Voice so aptly puts it, he is “the last standing jazz immortal.” His compositions have become jazz standards, and his groundbreaking work on the tenor sax defined the sound of jazz in the 1950s and 60s. At 81, he remains the most exhilarating and inspiring jazz artist performing today. A recent Kennedy Center honoree, his status as a jazz icon cannot be understated. He performs infrequently, and the chance to hear Sonny Rollins in his Wharton Center debut is one that can’t be missed. Say you were there when this living legend comes to East Lansing. |

Love finds a voice in our professional premiere of The Scarlet Letter, Lori Laitman's dramatic new adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic novel with libretto written by Colorado’s Poet Laureate David Mason. It’s a morality play of rigid judgment, heart-wrenching betrayal and redemptive love brought to life through stunning performances, dramatic set design and incredible music.

Virginia Arts Festival presents Todd Rosenlieb Dance in Stravinsky’s Les Noces (The Wedding)
with Virginia Arts Festival Chamber Musicians and Virginia Symphony Chorus
Igor Stravinsky revolutionized music—and his music transformed ballet. Celebrating the genius of this groundbreaking composer, the Virginia Arts Festival has joined with area artistic leaders to recreate and reimagine Stravinsky masterworks that forever changed the performing arts, including Stravinsky’s LES NOCES (THE WEDDING). Stravinsky’s spine-tingling score conjured a pagan wedding ceremony, summoning primitive sounds and images that scandalized and thrilled audiences in 1923. In this electrifying evening, acclaimed choreographer Todd Rosenlieb creates a riveting new staging of Stravinsky’s “dance cantata,” a new vision of this legendary ballet.
