Schomburg Series
36th Season Performances

Welcome to the 2011-2012 Schomburg Series
This could be the best and most diverse line-up ever for the Defiance College Schomburg Series. Along with blues and Bluegrass we are bringing back two favorite acts guaranteed to fill the auditorium. Neil Jacobs (12 string maestro) and his new band Lone Raven as well as pianist Robin Spielberg will once again grace the Schomburg stage. Chicago musician and artist Nicholas Barron will bring his unique form of blues/rock and wit to the McCann lounge during homecoming week followed by musical and dance artists Hotlanta. NewFound Road will present a modern bluegrass performance appearing in Defiance for the first time.

Pick up a season ticket today. Become a donor. We depend on your support to keep this great tradition at Defiance College of the high caliber that you have become familiar with. Check the brief artist biographies herein. Check the artist websites. And I do mean it when I say “this is the best line up yet!”

Sincerely,
Douglas R. Fiely
Director, Schomburg Series

Tina MaeHotlanta, a six-piece Dixieland jazz band from Atlanta, recreates the sounds of jazz as heard during the early decades of this century in New Orleans. Using clarinet, cornet, trombone, banjo, tuba and drums, they bring to life old favorites like Royal Garden Blues, South, Riverboat Shuffle, Fidgety Feet, and of course, the classic, “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In.” Palmer Wood, in Atlanta’s Highpoint Magazine calls Hotlanta “a trip to New Orleans without the hangover!”

Tartan Terrors

With over 20 instruments on stage,the band soars through everything from fiery Irish reels to Gypsy fiddle tunes.

NewFound Road
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
7:00 p.m. Schomburg Auditorium
tickets

Eclectica featuring Tracy Silverman“The secret weapon of NewFound Road is Tim Shelton, who comes powerfully out of the gate on the bands fifth recording with his trademark rich, chesty baritone roar. There are a lot of instrumentally virtuosic bands out there, a lot of bands with fine singers, but very few who combine technique with taste the way that NewFound Road does.” -- Rick Anderson, All Music Guide




Robin Spielberg

7:00 p.m. Schomburg Auditorium
tickets
Ball in the House
Thousands of people have been both entertained and touched by Ms. Spielberg`s live concerts; she has toured more than any female composer/pianist in the past decade. Her natural talent for making audiences immediately comfortable transforms what could easily be an ordinary evening at the concert hall into a very special concert event. A prolific composer, Spielberg has fifteen recordings to her credit and appears on over 40 compilations around the world.
