MUSE/IQUE: ‘America’s Cultural Renaissance of 1974’
March 15, 2024 through March 17, 2024
Mark Taper Forum
MUSE/IQUE makes its Mark Taper Forum debut with Magic Hour in Los Angeles: America’s Cultural Renaissance of 1974! 1974 in Los Angeles was, in a word, magic. At a time when Americans began breaking free from post-war conformity, the city that outsiders once considered glitzy and superficial emerged as the unlikely cultural epicenter for exponential creativity and blossoming self-expression. Not only did groundbreaking works of art from film, television, and theatre spring forth from this “magic hour”, but so did the idea that it is often art and pop culture that lead our way forward. Join MUSE/IQUE and CTG:FWD as we celebrate the creative heavy-hitters who transformed our city and the year that crowned Los Angeles the cultural capital of the world. Curated and led by MUSE/IQUE Artistic & Music Director Rachael Worby, featuring spectacular vocalists Javier Almaráz, LaVance Colley, Rachel Gonzalez, and The DC6 Singers Collective, the soaring MUSE/IQUE orchestra bringing to life the music of Stevie Wonder, Jerry Goldsmith, Los Lobos, Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, and a look back at the plays and artists who graced the stage of the Mark Taper Forum in 1974 from award-winning actor Glynn Turman!

Madeleine Peyroux
Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 8:00 PM
Luckman Fine Arts Complex
Madeleine Peyroux is one of the most prominent voices in contemporary jazz music. She returns to The Luckman with her full arsenal of delicately sultry compositions and renditions. With hits such as “Careless Love” and “Don’t Wait Too Long,” she has earned her spot among jazz & blues divas such as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald — artists to whom she is often compared. Her unique interpretations of jazz standards, heartfelt compositions, and sultry vocal style effortlessly weave together elements of jazz, blues, folk, and pop, creating a distinct and timeless sound. Peyroux’s ability to evoke deep emotions through her nuanced performances has garnered critical acclaim and a global following. Singer-songwriter Jill Sobule — best known for her song “Supermodel” from the movie Clueless — will open the evening. In a dozen albums spanning three decades of recording, the Denver-born artist has tackled themes that are both poignant and topical.
