An Evening of Swing, Big Band
and Broadway
March 6
8 p.m.
Two powerhouse vocalists join forces for the ultimate in cool. They'll revive the Swing and Big Band eras and take you for a trip down the Great White Way.
Internationally known for classic standards, late-night ballads and a cool jazz flavor, John Pizzarelli is the consummate entertainer and jazz guitarist. John and his Swing 7 band will electrify the audience with his interpretations of the Great American Songbook, Nat King Cole and a sprinkle of Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra.
Singer, film and TV actress and multiple Tony-award winner Christine Ebersole, currently starring on Broadway in Blythe Spirit, will bring her band to Staller as well. After her opening night at NY's Café Carlyle, The New York Times critic Stephen Holden wrote, "It would be only mildly overstating my delight at Christine Ebersole's effervescent new act at Café Carlyle to announce that I'm in love again..."
It will be a night to remember.

Fernando Botero
March 13 - May 24
A major exhibition that showcases work by one of the most honored Latin American artists working today, Fernando Botero, includes paintings, drawings and monumental sculpture that exemplify Botero's most familiar themes: commonplace scenes of everyday life, life in the bedroom, life of the streets and people rapt in family activities or in the excitement of music.

Dubuffet/MirÓ/Basquiat
March 13 - May 24
For the first time, works by Dubuffet, Miró and Basquiat are shown together, giving voice to the primal symbols that characterize their works in personalized types of graffiti that exist in a timeless, unidentifiable space. Signs and colors erupt in a free association of structure and rhythm; the mysterious act of painting is shown as wild and free, yet very exacting. The artists do not share generation nor culture, but they do share a confrontational antagonism to the traditional and academic, resulting in art that is raw, bold, forthright and terribly exciting!
