Aimée M. Petrin, Executive Director, PCA Great PerformancesCelebrate with PCA in 2008–09

By Aimée M. Petrin
Executive Director, PCA Great Performances

I am delighted to share with you PCA Great Performances’ seventy-eighth season.

When I think of PCA’s 2008–09 season, the word that springs to mind is “celebration.” Together we’ll celebrate exquisite artistry, singular perspectives, global expressions, our vibrant community and young audiences.

Any discussion of exquisite artistry must recognize world-renowned master of the cello and cultural ambassador, Yo-Yo Ma. In February 2009, PCA celebrates its eighth presentation of Mr. Ma to Maine audiences with a special Endowment Benefit Event. We’ll celebrate the American songbook with works inspired or created by Irving Berlin and Stephen Sondheim. From a singular voice to an unabashedly American dance sensation to an incomparable a cappella singing ensemble, these artists bring to light contemporary perspectives and rich traditions.

Traveling the globe from United States and Canada to west Africa, Europe, and China, the 2008–09 season illuminates our interconnected world. Our own community takes center stage with dynamic artists’ residencies, the showcasing of a community choir, and exciting collaborations. Even one of the Broadway hits will look to our neighbors for some local color. A variety of family-friendly events in dance, opera, circus arts and culturally specific arts forms extend PCA’s popular family series. This season we introduce day-time performances for students and an expanded student ticket program for many of our evening events.

Come celebrate with PCA in 2008–09! Rejoice in the skill of illustrious artists, rejoice in a sense of community and family, rejoice in a shared world. We look forward to sharing the exhilaration and joy of the performing arts with you all season long.
