SARATOGA SPRINGS \u2014 Following a highly successful summer event series in 2017, Skidmore College is pleased to announce the Stewart\u2019s Signature Series 2018, a lineup of world-class music and arts performances to be held this spring and summer on the Skidmore campus. The Stewart\u2019s Signature Series performances are made possible through a generous grant from Stewart\u2019s Shops and the Dake family. <\/p>\n

\u201cSaratoga Springs is blessed with a wide array of live interactive entertainment, making our community truly unique in a world where so many are limiting their attention to their screens. We are proud to support the Stewart\u2019s Signature Series at Skidmore, which will bring exceptional performers to our community while reinforcing Skidmore as a cultural resource for everyone,\u201d said Susan Law Dake, Skidmore Class of \u201971 and president of the Stewart\u2019s Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cStewart\u2019s and the Dake family are proud to support Skidmore\u2019s contribution to Saratoga\u2019s arts community. Saratoga\u2019s eclectic mix of live events from horse racing and polo, theater and opera, to dance and music of all kinds makes our city unique, and Stewart\u2019s Signature Series will be a major part of the summer experience in Saratoga Springs this year,\u201d said William (Bill) Dake, chairman of Stewarts Shops Inc.<\/p>\n

\nSITI Company presents: Chess Match, No. 5
\nFriday, June 22 at 7:30 p.m.
\nJanet Kinghorn Bernhard Theater<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

SITI Company of New York City presents Chess Match #5. Company members Will Bond and Ellen Lauren star in this theatrical homage to avant garde composer John Cage. Cage’s own documented words are shaped into a conversation taking place in a single night over a chess game. The actors brew coffee, make toast, play chess and engage in several other acts of meaningless stage business while debating the purpose, shape and proper interpretation of music and art. It’s a thought-provoking Catch-22 that keeps you on the hook.<\/p>\n

\nTerri Lyne Carrington Quartet
\nTuesday, June 26 at 8 p.m.
\nArthur Zankel Music Center, Ladd Hall<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A concert by Terri Lyne Carrington and her quartet. Carrington is a three-time Grammy winner who made history as the first woman to win a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album in 2013. In the male-dominated jazz genre, this veteran drummer has been happily accepted as one of the guys and has forged a strong touring career pushing improvisational and conceptual boundaries. Carrington reached legendary status by working as a side woman for greats including George Duke and Herbie Hancock, and she went on to cement her legend by making a series of highly regarded albums that explored the history of jazz or dug deeply into those areas where jazz merged with other forms of popular music. <\/p>\n
