PRO MUSICA Out of Darkness into Light
Thursday, March 30, 7:00 PM
CAM Members & students with valid college ID: $12.00 Non-Members:$18.00, UNCW Students free w/ ID (tax and fees not included)
Now in its sixth season, the Pro Musica Concert Series - celebrating the works of living composers - will present a concert entitled "Out of Darkness into Light", a new work by composer William Neil. Premiering this arrangement of the work is the Pro Musica Ensemble: Nancy King (soprano), Danijela Zezelj-Gualdi (violin), Helena Spencer (contrabassoon), Laurent Estoppey (saxophones) and Robert Nathanson (guitar). "Out of Darkness into Light" is really a mystery play interpreting, through composed and improvisational music, the beautiful prayer-like text that Malgosia Sawczuk created after her remarkable restoration work in the St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Chicago. The music of William Neil has been performed on both sides of the Atlantic and has been featured at the Festival of Music in Evian, France, the Electronic Plus Festival in New York, the Pontino Festival in Italy, and the New Music Chicago Festival. Purchase seats on CAM's website, by phone and at CAM's Visitor Services desk. Co-sponsored by the UNCW Department of Music.

Jazz @The CAM Jua
Thursday, April 6, 6:30 - 8:00 PM
CAM/CFJS Members: $12.00, Non-Members: $20.00, Students with valid college ID: $10.00 (tax and fees not included) We welcome back the season five opener, Jua performing with a trio comprised of Andrew Berinson (piano), Donovan Cheatham (drums) and Lance Scott (bass) to close out season seven. Jua is a unique and emotive jazz vocal stylist whose range brings to mind Jon Lucien, among others. Nearly ten years ago, Jua Howard (who uses only his first name professionally, Swahili for "sun") was making quite a name for himself in neo-soul circles, crooning in velvety tenor tones reminiscent of Luther Vandross and Donny Hathaway in clubs from New York City to London. While living in the Washington D.C. area Jua was a background vocalist with the legendary Blackbyrds, "Jazz was clearly a big part of their foundation," he says of the Blackbyrds. "Singing with them made me think seriously about pursuing a career in jazz." In June 2014, Jua showcased his change in musical focus with the release of his sophomore cd Colors of Life. He currently resides in Raleigh, NC where he continues songwriting, performing and working on his next project. Purchase seats on CAM's website, by phone and at CAM's Visitor Services desk. The Jazz @ The CAM concert series is presented by the Cameron Art Museum and the Cape Fear Jazz Society. CAM Café is open and serving before and after the concerts, reservations suggested: 910-777-2363
