UNLV announces lineups for performing arts series
Branford Marsalis, saxophonist Paul Taylor, the Orquesta Sinfonica del Estado de Mexico (the State Symphony Orchestra of Mexico), Tango Buenos Aires and the “Jersey Boys” alumni known as the Midtown Men lead the lineup for the 2014-15 season at UNLV’s Performing Arts Center.
Marsalis, a Grammy-winning saxophonist and Tony-nominated composer, will lead the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia Oct. 18 in “Well Tempered,” which spotlights baroque masterworks by Bach, Handel and Vivaldi.
Speaking of saxophones, UNLV alumnus Taylor returns to his alma mater to perform Nov. 7.
Original Broadway “Jersey Boys” cast members — Tony-winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony nominee J. Robert Spencer — will sing ’60s pop hits as the Midtown Men Feb. 14.
