Students perform RENT, Brubeck premiere in March and April

If you are in the Philadelphia or New York area in the coming month, Temple students have some fantastic performances coming up. Temple Theaters’ production of RENT opened March 3 and continues through April 11 in Tomlinson Theater, Main Campus. Tickets are $20-$25. Watch a video promo on Temple’s channel on YouTube or visit www.temple.edu/theater for more information.

At the same time, Temple University Symphony Orchestra is performing two new works — one by jazz legends Dave and Chris Brubeck and the other by composer and former Temple professor Bill Cunliffe — on March 21 at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philly and April 9 at Lincoln Center in New York City. The Brubecks’ work is a tribute to the photography of Ansel Adams (check out the NPR story here) and the performance will include a slideshow of 100 of his images. Cunliffe’s piece (check out the Temple Online Newsroom story and video here)  is a collaboration initiated by jazz trumpeter and Temple professor  Terrell Stafford.

Tickets to the March 21 Kimmel Center concert are $20-$35.

Tickets to the April 9 Lincoln Center concert are available directly from Lincoln Center for $20-$35 or in a package with a pre-concert reception hosted by Temple University Alumni Association for $35.
