SUMMARY:Cyro Baptista and the Banquet of Spirits: Sounds of Community
DESCRIPTION:“I don’t even think of him as a percussionist\, because he is so much his own personality that it almost transcends any percussion instrument he could be playing.” – Yo-Yo Ma \nOne of the premiere percussionists on the planet\, Cyro Baptista leads his winsome quartet on a virtuosic trek through myriad musics of the world. Washed out surf rock splashes\, blazing hardbop solos\, breathtaking West African harping\, exquisite Brazilian rhythms — the sounds all coalesce into a carnivalesque stew of joy and irreverence as these four astonishing players draw on sounds and instruments from around the globe to create utterly unique combinations. \nA veteran of stage and studio work with the likes of Paul Simon\, Herbie Hancock\, Yo-Yo Ma\, Trey Anastasio (of Phish)\, John Zorn\, Laurie Anderson\, Cassandra Wilson\, Sting\, the New York Philharmonic\, the Kennedy Center Orchestra\, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, and many others\, Baptista is one of the most sought-after players around. His visionary approach to music-making stresses inclusion\, community and pushing past boundaries\, while remaining refreshingly fun and totally accessible. \nThroughout the week\, Baptista will be leading workshops with a variety of community groups and participants\, using everyday objects as well as traditional instruments at the Jean McDonough Arts Center in downtown Worcester. The sessions will culminate in a concert on Sunday\, April 3rd featuring Baptista & the Banquet of the Spirits with community participation. \nThis residency is supported by grants from the Worcester Arts Council\, New England Foundation for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. \n

SUMMARY:The Secret Door - Worcester's Mind Reading Experience
DESCRIPTION:Secret Doorway is an astonishing evening of mind-reading with comedian\, hypnotist and sleight-of-hand artist Peter Gross. Peter uses no special equipment or double-jointed assistants to create his confounding stunts\, just the quick hands of a card shark\, the improvisational skills of a stand-up\, and a con man’s command of human psychology. Peter reveals thoughts\, predicts what you’ll do next and acts as a human lie detector.  The showtakes you on a highly interactive\, intellectual roller-coaster ride of “impossible outcomes.”  Peter has performed at the White House\, The Kennedy Center\, Canada’s National Theater\, and on National Television. He is recognized as a master of misdirection and mentalism and Secret Doorway has been described as “the perfect date night”.  Peter is thrilled to bring the show to Worcester. Once the home of four competing Vaudeville theaters and dozens of speakeasies\, Worcester has a long history with charlatans and other professional liars. \n  \nThe Secret Doorway will only admit 90 people per performance\, so each person will have a unique and up close experience.
