A breathtaking journey through the arts awaits audiences for the ninth season of Seven Days of Opening Nights, Feb. 12-27, 2007, and ticket sales are now open to the public.
Topping the itinerary of Florida State University's annual festival of the fine and performing arts are a Rosanne Cash/Kris Kristofferson combo, Rita Coolidge and the John Pizzarelli Quartet, the dance company of Paul Taylor-known as the world's greatest choreographer-and renowned cellist Lynn Harrell with the University Symphony Orchestra.
The whirlwind Seven Days cultural tour includes The Irish Rovers; South Africa's Ladysmith Black Mambazo; Flags of Our Fathers author James Bradley; and actor Joshua Kane's Gothic at Midnight. All-American stops include crossover jazz from The Manhattan Transfer, young piano prodigies with The 5 Browns, and jazz piano veteran Marian McPartland.
Also on the jam-packed schedule: A special Prism concert, the premiere of a film by FSU professors, The Trees Have a Mother: Stories of the Amazon, art exhibits (AfroProvocations at the Mary Brogan Museum of Art and Science; More Is More-Maximalist Tendencies in Recent American Painting and Ray Burggraf: Retrospective), and the ever popular free Saturday Matinee of the Arts. The Seven Days festival includes a Healing and the Arts symposium as well as a fringe festival with numerous cultural offerings.
Florida State University, in cooperation with dozens of generous sponsors and members, presents Seven Days of Opening Nights each year to bring world-class artists to the region, not only for the enjoyment of general audiences but also to work with students through master classes, lectures, readings, exhibits and other discipline-specific experiences.
