Sunday March Lovers of Celtic music in North America are in for a special treat when the act known as THE WOMEN OF IRELAND takes to the stage. This select group of artists demonstrate the wealth of talent that exists within Ireland’s traditions of music, song and dance. The common theme inherent in all performances will be the presentation of the most revered qualities of Ireland’s ethnic music, which will be transported from the Irish fireside to Miller! This show features special guest—4-time world champion and former lead dancer with Riverdance—Anthony Fallon. March 20 & 21 | TIMES VARY 29 @ 3 p.m. PETER AND THE STARCATCHER, hailed by The New York Times as “The most exhilarating storytelling on Broadway in decades,” this musical takes a hilarious romp thru the Neverland you never knew. Winner of five Tony Awards®, this swashbuckling prequel to Peter Pan will have you hooked from the moment you let your imagination take flight. PETER AND THE STARCATCHER is based on the best-selling novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. 12 actors play more than a 100 unforgettable characters, all on a journey to answer the question: How did Peter Pan become The Boy Who Never Grew Up? BLUE MAN GROUP is best known for their wildly popular theatrical shows and concerts which combine comedy, music and technology to produce a totally unique form of entertainment. The New York Times heralds the show as “One of the most delightful performance pieces ever staged.” E! Entertainment News exclaims, “BLUE MAN GROUP is what every live performance aspires to be.” Although it is impossible to describe, people of all ages agree that BLUE MAN GROUP is an intensely exciting and wildly outrageous show that leaves the entire audience in a blissful, euphoric state. pg. 22 march 2015 MillerAuditorium.com / (269) 387-2300 / (800) 228-9858 / GROUP SALES (269) 387-2312 MONDAY SUNDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 1 2 3 4 8 9 10 11 FULL MOON FRIDAY SATURDAY 5 6 7 13 14 @ 3 p.m. daylight savings time begins 12 LAST QUARTER PFX—The Pink Floyd Experience @ 8 p.m. 16 15 St. Patrick’s Day 17 18 19 SoM: 77th Annual SW Michigan Vocal Festival @ 7 p.m. The Women of Ireland @ 3 p.m. 22 23 24 25 NEW MOON 20 first day of spring 21 Blue Man Group @ 8 p.m. 26 @ 3 & 8 p.m. 27 FIRST QUARTER 28 KSO: Fire and Water @ 8 p.m. 29 @ 3 p.m. 30 31 february april S M T W T F S S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 26 5 M T W T F 1 2 3 S 4 8 9 10 11 6 7 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 27 28 29 30 pg. 23 Air Supply Diavolo — Architecture in Motion Saturday Tuesday APRIL APRIL 18 @ 8 p.m. Welcomed by 21 @ 7:30 p.m. Graham Russell & Russell Hitchcock met in 1975 and became instant friends. They started playing small gigs and eventually toured Australia, the U.S. and Canada opening for Rod Stewart. Shortly after, they were noticed by Clive Davis who signed them immediately. In 1980 “Lost in Love” became the fastest selling single in the world. Their second hit “All Out of Love” went up the charts even quicker. The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple yet majestic songs created a unique sound that would forever be known as Air Supply. Their hits “Lost in Love,” “All Out of Love,” “The One That You Love,” “Sweet Dreams” and “Making Love Out of Nothing At All” have achieved multi-million plays on the radio. Air Supply has been a pop and Adult Contemporary chart phenomenon for decades, but their latest single “Desert Sea Sky” — which extends their Billboard chart success to an incredible five decades — is breaking ground in a fresh new genre: dance music. Diavolo — Architecture in Motion uses abstract and recognized structures to explore the relationship between the danger of our environment and the fragility of the human body. Diavolo — Architecture in Motion is a fusion of many different movement vocabularies such as everyday movement, ballet, contemporary, acrobatics, gymnastics, martial arts and hip-hop. Founded in 1992 by French-born choreographer and visionary Jacques Heim, Diavolo — Architecture in Motion is a cultural pillar of the Los Angeles community and has performed for hundreds of thousands of concertgoers worldwide as well as millions more on television. pg. 24 april 2015 MillerAuditorium.com / (269) 387-2300 / (800) 228-9858 / GROUP SALES (269) 387-2312 MONDAY SUNDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY april fool’s Day easter 5 6 7 THURSDAY FRIDAY 1 2 8 9 SATURDAY 3 good friday 4 FULL MOON 10 11 LAST QUARTER KSO: Elijah @ 8 p.m. 12 13 14 15 SoM: University Concert Band @ 3 p.m. 19 20 21 22 16 SoM: Concerto Concert University Symphony Orchestra @ 3 p.m. 27 28 18 NEW MOON Air Supply @ 8 p.m. 23 24 25 FIRST QUARTER KSO: Michael Cavanaugh in Concert: The Songs of Elton John & More! @ 8 p.m. Diavolo — Architecture in Motion @ 7:30 p.m. 26 17 SoM: 47th Annual Spring Conference on Wind & Percussion Music @ 7:30 p.m. 29 30 march may S M T W T F S S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 3 M 4 T 5 W T 6 7 F S 1 2 8 9 16 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 10 11 12 13 14 15 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 29 30 31 24/31 25 26 27 28 29 30 pg. 25 THANK YOU SPONSORS ® pg. 26 may 2015 S M MillerAuditorium.com / (269) 387-2300 / (800) 228-9858 / GROUP SALES (269) 387-2312 SUNDAY MONDAY april june T W T F S 1 2 3 4 S TUESDAY M T W T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 24 25 26 27 26 27 28 29 30 FULL MOON mother’s day 21 22 23 28 29 30 3 10 17 LAST QUARTER NEW MOON FIRST QUARTER 24 memorial day WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 14 15 16 18 19 20 21 22 23 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 pg. 27 KENDALL R.
