Leon Bates "is an artist who can carry off a wise interpretive touch…he is
an elegant player, with a keen ear for color and a flair for poetry…" said
the New York Times. "Brilliant, powerful, a virtuoso…" said a reviewer at
his concert with the Vienna Symphony. In Europe he is called, "one of
America's best" and in America, he continues to reap high praise from
critics while remaining an audience favorite. Mr. Bates returns to the
Clemens Center with a program that will include works by Ludwig van
Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Billy Strayhorn and
will conclude with George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue."

Imagine 10 fiddlers, leading names from Celtic to Chinese, joining forces
with a quintet of guitar, cello, bass, piano and drums. Bowfire brings the
violin to a whole new level in a musical theatrical production that has
critics raving and audiences leaping to their feet again and again! The
show features the top virtuoso violinists and fiddlers on the continent,
together in one electrifying performance. This who's who of strings
perform superb individual numbers and group showstoppers. The Bowfire
artists showcase styles as diverse as classical, rock, bluegrass, jazz,
gypsy, Texas style, country, Celtic, and electric in a seamless musical

DAVID COPPERFIELD – AN INTIMATE EVENING
OF GRAND ILLUSION
5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Tickets: $55/45/30. For tickets, call 607-734-8191
or 800-724-0159. Clemens Center for The Performing Arts. David
Copperfield: “An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion” is an affecting,
life-changing event that reaches into the audiences’ minds and hearts and
takes them on a feast of wish fulfillment. True to its title – “Grand
Illusion” is the logical, and incredible evolution of this conjurer’s art.
Copperfield’s goal in “Grand Illusion” is to take one’s dreams (and maybe
a few nightmares) and make them become reality using his state of the art
wizardry. Displaying his off-the-cuff brand of humor, Copperfield breaks
new ground in “Grand Illusion” and takes his art to a grand yet intimate,
personal yet universal dimension for an evening of wonders that will never
be forgotten.
3-4 -- OKLAHOMA!
2:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $62.50/$45/$25 ($56.25/$40.50/$22.50
Members). For tickets, call 607-734-8191 or 800-724-0159; Clemens
Center for The Performing Arts. It is quite simply, the show that
changed the American Musical forever-Rodgers & Hammerstein's landmark
musical, "Oklahoma!" Set in the Oklahoma Territory in the early 1900's,
"Oklahoma!" is an idealized vision of a simpler time, a story of tender
romance and violent passion. On the heels of the wildly acclaimed London
and Broadway revivals, this sparkling new touring production of
"Oklahoma!" is adapted from the Cameron Mackintosh presentation of the
Royal National Theatre production that won the hearts of a new generation
of theatergoers. The score is ripe with classics: "Oh, What A Beautiful
Morning", "The Surrey With The Fringe On Top", "People Will Say We're In
Love," "Oklahoma!" and many more. "Oh What A Beautiful Musical!" NY Post
