CARRIE NEWCOMER, Singer/Songwriter
with Opening Act ANTHONY MULLIS at 6:00 pm
Songwriter and Philo/Rounder Records artist, and veteran of eleven solo CD’s and countless national tours, Carrie Newcomer returns to DePauw as a solo artist after a winning performance here last year as part of the Wilderness Plots concert. Her most recent album, The Geography of Light, has been praised by The Boston Globe as Newcomer’s “prettiest and wisest” CD to date. Folkwax named it Album of the Year for 2008, and the magazine also named Newcomer as Artist of the Year for the same year. Esteemed folksinger Mary Chapin Carpenter described Newcomer’s award-winning album as being “full of gorgeous arrangements that frame her soulful vocals.”

Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets as the primitive seating in the amphitheater is limited. Patrons should be advised that there is a short walk of about five minutes from the Nature Park’s main parking lot to the amphitheater. A shuttle cart will be available to persons unable to walk the distance from the parking lot to the amphitheater.

The entrance to the Nature Park is located in the 1400 block of West Walnut Street. For more information on the concert click HERE. To access information on the DePauw University Nature Park including directions to the park click HERE. Go to Carrie's Web site HERE.

KING LEAR
Performed by Actors From The London Stage
Performed less frequently than others of William Shakespeare’s well-known tragedies, King Lear is nonetheless considered by many to be the playwright’s greatest tragedy. The Actors From the London Stage are perennial favorites at DePauw whose scaled-down productions minimize technical spectacle and focus instead on creative casting, impeccable acting and strict adherence to mastering the nuances of Shakespeare’s greatest texts.

YING QUARTET
One of the most dynamic and sought-after string quartets working in classical music today, members of the Ying Quartet combine brilliantly communicative performances with a fearlessly imaginative view of chamber music in today’s world, offering audiences a new way to experience art music. Winners of a Grammy for their 2005 collaboration with the Turtle Island Quartet, “Four + 4,” the group has also received Grammy nominations for their own recordings. While the Quartet’s performances regularly take place in many of the world’s most important concert halls - from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House - and at many of the most highly regarded summer festivals - from Tanglewood to Interlochen, the ensemble’s belief that concert music can also be a meaningful part of everyday life has drawn them to perform in settings as diverse as the workplace, schools, juvenile prisons and the White House. The Ying Quartet is co-sponsored by the DePauw School of Music. Access the Ying Quartet Web site HERE.
