The Pius XI Vocal Jazz Night is celebrating its third year, and we are extremely excited to be returning home to the Father Robert V. Carney Performing Arts Center for this annual event. Come and witness the transformation of the space into a cool nightclub and sit ON the stage to enjoy the intimate, cabaret ambiance. Students from the vocal jazz ensemble work with and are accompanied by esteemed local musicians on solo songs for this great night of jazz. The students work hard for several weeks to gain an understanding of the jazz style, dabble in improvisation and work on fine-tuning their ears to new harmonies. They will even treat you to some of their ensemble pieces — which have been sent on to the State WSMA Solo/Ensemble competition this year.
This year’s guest artists include: vocal coach Ellen Winters Reynolds, pianist Sam Steffke, bassist Jon Blessing and internationally renowned jazz vocalist, saxophonist and music director Joe Turano (a 1969 Pius XI alum!). We look forward to providing friends, family and the community with a stellar night of music, snacks, and a cash bar courtesy of Last Call Beverages.
From the World Competitions in Ireland and Scotland to Epcot Center at Disney World, the World Champion Cashel Academy of Irish Dance is known throughout the world for their fast paced, high-stepping dance routines. Join them for their highly-anticipated spring performance!
Please be our guest as the Wisconsin Intergenerational Orchestra fills the stage with talented musicians of all ages. Featured works include the Brahms “Hungarian Dances” and the beloved “Rhapsody in Blue” of Gershwin. Bob Syverson, WIO’s principal trumpet, will perform the Handel G Minor Concerto – there will be something for everyone. The remarkable Amazing Grace Chorus will join us in the second half of the program. You will leave this concert refreshed, inspired, and hopeful.
This performance is free, but reserved seating tickets are required.
Dress Rehearsal is a time when performers, designers, technicians, and choreographers get to make sure each step, each costume, each lighting transition is picture perfect before the audience comes on Opening Night. But this year, we invite you to get a sneak preview of our Spring Dance Showcase before anyone else!
This special program is open to student groups only! Please e-mail Patrick Schley to book your group’s tickets.
