Monday, March 13, 2012 in the Stella Boyle Concert Hall on the campus of UALR.
The riveting performances of the Caswell Sisters, vocalist Rachel and violinist Sara, are the culmination of years of working together. Their seamless sound combined with their unique interpretation of repertoire ranging from the “Great American Songbook” to contemporary jazz, including their own compositions, is propelled by arresting improvisation. Rachel and Sara co-lead the Caswell Sisters Quintet and have recently recorded a CD project with acclaimed jazz pianist Fred Hersch. Notable appearances include a week long After-Hours engagement at Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City and an enthusiastically-received set on the opening night concert of the inaugural Jazz Education Network (JEN) Conference in 2010.
Although Rachel and Sara have shared a musical partnership since childhood, their development and experience as individual artists play an equally important role. Rachel often collaborates with bassist Jeremy Allen, their duo having been selected to perform at the 2006 International Association for Jazz Education’s Annual Conference in New York. She has performed with The Glenn Miller Orchestra, John Blake, Jr., Ingrid Jensen, the Billy Taylor Trio and Curtis Fuller. In addition to winning the Hilton Head Jazz Society Scholarship and placing in the top ten of 150 contestants in the jazzconnect.com 2005 vocal competition, Rachel has wonmany awards and first-place prizes as a classical cellist and jazz musician. Her debut CD Some Other Time has received excellent reviews.

Join the UALR Opera Theater as it goes “Into the Woods” with Stephen Sondheim’s modern classic of that name. Encounter familiar characters such as Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (of the beanstalk), Cinderella and more as they strive to get their wishes. Follow the Baker and his wife as they search for magical ingredients to undo the spell the Witch has placed which prevents them from having a child. Watch as their dreams come true and reality sets it. Composer Sondheim and book writer James Lapine weave our favorite fables together in this cautionary grown-up fairy-tale about sacrifice, consequence and community.
