His 2006 CD A Distant Land to Roam is an acclaimed collection of 13 Carter Family gems. 8 p.m., The Ark, 316 S.

This U-M dance-student company presents a program highlighted by a revival of Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rehearsal), the iconic modern dance choreographer Paul Taylor’s 1980 adaptation of Stravinsky’s seminal modernist ballet, a blend of stylized movement with a melancholy wit whose two parallel narratives juxtapose the daily rituals and intrigues of a touring dance company and a Runyonesque detective story set in Chinatown. It is set to a live performance of Stravinsky’s 1947 adaptation of his score for 4-hand piano. Also, new group works by U-M dance professors Amy Chevasse, Jessica Fogel, and Sandra Torijano. Chevasse’s Hunger for the Craving for the Longing for the Aching (a biased history of seduction) is a Busby Berkeley-like pastiche set to 4 very difference versions off Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.” Fogel’s Out of Thin Air: Lightness is inspired by theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek’s description of space as a “dance of intricate patterns within an effervescent medium.” It is set to a digital collage of text and music by sound designer Michelle Chamuel. Torijano’s La Luna Nueva envisions the overcoming of adversity as a process of personal transformation, set to music by Philip Glass, Villa-Lobos, and Bach. 7:30 p.m., Power Center.
