Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Image Vessels: Blown Glass
2019-02-20 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center - Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1.
Sculptor Herb Babcock creates both monumental and human-scale work using metal, glass and stone. In the early years of the American Studio Glass Movement (1974-1984) Babcock’s sculptural and painterly expression utilized the vessel format. By layering color — both mass and line — between gathers of clear, molten glass, the full compositions are viewed through the vessel as three-dimensional. Babcock is Professor Emeritus, College for Creative Studies. He was Section Chair of the Glass Department where he taught for 40 years. He lives in Ann Arbor and built a new studio near U-M north campus in 2016.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
2019-02-20 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center - Gifts of Art Gallery – Rogel Cancer Center, Level 1
Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Inspired: Art Quilts by Paradigm
2019-02-20 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals - Gifts of Art Gallery - Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1
Most members of Paradigm art quilt group are professional artists based in southeast Michigan who create work, teach and lecture. Although most of their artwork is textile based, members use many different techniques. The theme of this exhibit is Inspired, and the art quilts on display incorporate elements of assemblage, collage and painting. The exhibit showcases the round robin approach that guided the creation of the work: the first artist made something which inspired the work of the second artist, which inspired the work of the third artist, and so on. A brief statement about the inspiration is included with each piece.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Mystery Train: Oil on Linen
2019-02-20 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals - Gifts of Art Gallery – University Hospital Main Lobby, Floor 1
Gregg Chadwick grew up with the rails of America in his blood. His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings, Mystery Train, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Willow Run & the Home Front During WWII
2019-02-20 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center - Gifts of Art Gallery – Cancer Center Elevator Alcove, Level 2
The Yankee Air Museum dedicates itself to educating individuals about the history of US military aviation. Located at the historic Willow Run Airport, just east of Ann Arbor, where over 8,600 B-24 Liberator Bomber aircraft were produced during World War II, the Yankee Air Museum seeks to keep the history of the ‘Arsenal of Democracy’ alive. The Willow Run Bomber Plant is home to ‘Rosie the Riveter,’ the iconic symbol of the thousands of women who poured into industrial factories to help the war effort during WWII. This exhibition features unique artifacts from the US home-front, the Willow Run Bomber Plant, and local WWII aviators from Ann Arbor.

Exhibition:she was here, once
2019-02-20 08:00 - 17:00 | Lane Hall - Gallery (1st floor)
The mobility and displacement of the Black body, from port to holding cell, to ward and out, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain, otherness, power and triumph, "she was here, once" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.

In summer 2018, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement, sound, and solidarity, eight Black women and girls, wearing large needle felted wool masks, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).

The multi-layered piece has produced a short film, mini documentary, photography, and performance masks, on display in her solo exhibition, "she was here, once" in Lane Hall.

Lane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.

Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

Exhibition:Sinking Cities: Documenting the realities of climate change in cities around the world
2019-02-20 08:00 - 23:45 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor
This exhibit provides a platform to begin understanding the effects of rising sea levels along the coasts of Indonesia, Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Italy and the United States.

By the end of the century oceans are predicted to rise between .3 and 2.5 meters, which will result in major flooding in coastal cities around the world. The Sinking Cities Project aims to document this inundation through the stories of residents and the changing landscape of their cities.

This photo and video exhibit was produced by Marcin Szczepanski, visual communications director at Michigan Engineering, and Frank Sedlar, Michigan Engineering alumnus.

Join us for an exhibit opening event on November 16th, 4:00-7:00 p.m., in the Clark Library.

Reception / Open House:Whine, Werk, & Roll: The Art of the Lapa
2019-02-20 08:00 - 19:00 | Detroit Center - Gallery
The lap, worn around the waist, is the uniform of the African dancer. At its simplest it is a rectangular piece of cloth, at its most elegant it is a beautiful skirt made of different colors, textures, and patterns. Whine, Werk, and Roll: the Art of the Lapa celebrates this utilitarian object of beauty and the craftsmanship of the men and women who sew their seams.

Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
2019-02-20 09:00 - 16:00 | Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues, these statues — as well as Roman homes, clothing, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world, how these colors were produced, where they were found, what the Romans thought about them, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.

Exhibition:Paved with Good Intentions
2019-02-20 09:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Gallery
In keeping with artist David Opdyke’s previous work, this site-specific installation serves as a critique of U.S. culture and politics. In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.

The installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired, in part, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s "Flying Circus" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.

About David Opdyke:
David Opdyke is a draughtsman, sculptor, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady, NY in 1969, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive, decaying factories, an empty interstate loop, and unemployment were downtown; new streets, expensive homes, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.

For 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations, his artwork explores globalization, consumerism, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.

This project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
2019-02-20 10:00 - 17:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor
The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.

The market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.

Cloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes, such as “linenette.”

Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with SRC faculty Erin Ware
2019-02-20 10:30 - 11:30 | Institute For Social Research - Room 6080
Dr. Ware is a self-taught HPC user and excited to host a weekly hackerspace from February 13 to April 3, 2019. Her training has been in genetic epidemiology, public health, and statistics using SAS (local), R (server), Linux (on FLUX, MBNI, and other personal servers), batch scripting (SGE, PBS, Slurm). Dr. Ware has taught SAS (data management and statistical modeling) and introductory statistics using R. She is experienced in teaching high performance computing to individuals with limited programming background.

In this hackerspace, Dr. Ware is particularly interested in addressing issues of data manipulation in Linux, efficient documentation and file naming structures, data management (SAS/R), setting up an HPC connection, WinSCP, getting around a server using basic Linux, genomic analysis, and high-dimensional data analysis. Dr. Ware would like to learn about SFTP using Globus, Python, and more advanced batch scripting in Slurm. Dr. Ware hopes you will join her hackerspace this term.

The goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate, hackers need to bring their own laptops and, ideally, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

Exhibition:Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s
2019-02-20 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art
Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s, that question was hotly debated as artists, critics, and the public grappled with the relationship between art, politics, race, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Al Loving, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.

Lead support for "Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, Michigan Medicine, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

Exhibition:Marisa MorÃ¡n Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
2019-02-20 11:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
Marisa Morán Jahn: The Mighty and the Mythic
January 24, 2019 – March 2, 2019

Stamps Gallery is proud to present The Mighty and the Mythic, a solo exhibition of work by renowned social practice artist Marisa Morán Jahn. For the first time, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing), Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing), and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants, caregivers, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity, critique power, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher, caretaker, woodshop cleaner-upper, lumber hauler, community organizer, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people, mundane routines, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.

Lecture / Discussion:energy condition, modular flow, and AdS/CFT
2019-02-20 12:00 - 13:00 | Randall Laboratory - 3481
In recent years, substantial progresses has been made in understanding and proving a number of energy conditions in quantum field theories (QFTs), which played very important roles for constraining quantum corrections to black hole dynamics in general relativity. In this talk, I will discuss proof of the quantum null energy condition (QNEC), both in holographic CFTs based on AdS/CFT, and in generic CFTs using techniques related to the entanglement structure. Furthermore, I will discuss the connection between the two approaches, and in doing this, deep relations between boundary modular flow and bulk RT surface dynamics will be revealed.

Lecture / Discussion:DCMB Weekly Seminar
2019-02-20 15:30 - 17:00 | Palmer Commons - Forum Hall
Nephrotic syndrome (NS), a kidney disease caused by failure of the glomerular filtration barrier, leads to substantial morbidity and mortality due to infection, clotting, and progression to chronic kidney disease. Our ability to effectively care for our patients with NS is hampered by a limited understanding of its underlying molecular mechanisms. Major progress has been made through the discovery of more than 50 single-gene causes of NS. But altogether these explain less than 15% of cases in the U.S. To gain a more complete picture of the genetic architecture of NS, we need to go beyond Mendelian gene discovery. In this seminar, I will present work done by our group to achieve this goal, with a particular focus on unique opportunities that result from integrating genome-scale omics datasets with deep phenotypic data in the longitudinal NEPTUNE NS cohort.

Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Collective Physics for Breaking Quantum and Thermal Limits on Precision Measurements
2019-02-20 16:00 - 17:00 | West Hall - 340
A long-standing theme of atomic physics is a continual striving to gain ever greater control over single quantum objects, starting with their internal degrees of freedom and now extending to their external degrees of freedom. Having learned to exert nearly complete control over single atoms, what are the new frontiers? One direction is to now exert similar levels of control over the interactions and correlations between atoms, with examples including quantum computing with trapped ions, quantum many-body simulations in degenerate atomic gases, and the deterministic assembly of molecules. Our lab has been asking the question: is it also possible to exploit atom-atom correlations and entanglement to advance the field of precision measurement beyond the single-atom paradigm that dominates the field? Using laser-cooled and trapped rubidium and strontium atoms inside of high finesse optical cavities, we have explored this question along two fronts by surpassing the standard quantum limit on quantum phase estimation by a factor of 60 and overcoming thermal limits on laser frequency stability. If time permits, I will also discuss the emergence of spin-exchange interactions between atoms mediated by the optical cavity. Possible future impacts include robust millihertz linewidth optical lasers, advanced optical lattice clocks, and searches for new physics.

Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Panel. Human Rights in North Korea: Crimes Against Humanity, Advocacy for Change, and Future Prospects
2019-02-20 16:00 - 17:30 | Weill Hall (Ford School) - Annenberg Auditorium, Room 1120
As negotiations for denuclearization continues between the US and North Korea, the severe state of human rights situations in North Korea has again been de-emphasized by the international community. Yet the persecution of real or imagined dissenters continue, as do the systematic human rights abuses of the Kim regime, which has been classified by the United Nations as crimes against humanity. Activists in South Korea and abroad have advocated for these concerns to be given top priority but those calls have largely been unheeded by leaders engaging with North Korea. What exactly is happening in North Korea, what kinds of activism has emerged to address these concerns, and what might be the ways forward to improve the lives of the North Korean people? This panel features three prominent experts of human rights in North Korea who will share their perspectives on these questions as a legal expert, an NGO advocate, and a defector who survived one of North Korea’s infamous prison camps, respectively.

This event is co-sponsored by: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, International Policy Center, Law School, and Nam Center for Korean Studies.

Panelists:

Kang Cheol Hwan
Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, North Korea Strategy Center

Kang Cheol Hwan is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of North Korea Strategy Center U.S., Inc. and the founder of North Korea Strategy Center (“NKSC”) in Seoul, South Korea. Mr. Kang is a journalist, author, and North Korean defector. Born in 1968 in Pyongyang, North Korea, at the age of nine, he and his entire family were imprisoned in the Yodok concentration camp by the government of dictator Kim Il Sung after Kang’s grandfather was accused of treason. For ten years, Mr. Kang was subjected to the brutal conditions of the camp, where he and some members of his family endured starvation, torture, and the threat of execution. After he was released from the camp, Mr. Kang bought an illegal radio receiver to listen to broadcasts from South Korea. In 1992, he made the decision to defect and escaped North Korea by crossing the Yalu River into China, eventually immigrating to South Korea. In 2000, he published “The Aquariums of Pyongyang,” a description of his experiences and the very first survivor account of North Korea’s concentration camps. Mr. Kang is a staff writer for the South Korean newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo. In 2003, he was awarded the National Endowment for Democracy’s “Democracy Award” and in 2006, he was selected as one of Times’ “Asian Heroes”. After years of North Korean human rights activism, Mr. Kang came to the conclusion that expecting change from the North Korean government was not feasible. Without change and enlightenment of the North Korean people, without bridging the gap between the two Koreas, peaceful unification is not possible. Based on this belief, in 2007, Mr. Kang founded NKSC with the goals of disseminating uncensored information in North Korea, empowering North Korean defectors to become advocates of democracy, and raising awareness on North Korean human rights issues.

What aspect of corporate culture is so deep that it affects our hearts, minds, and the organizational bottom line? In this session, O’Neill introduces the undiscovered domain she calls “emotional culture” and demonstrates how cultures comprised of positive emotions such as love, joviality, and awe have benefits not only for employees’ own individual well-being, but also for teams, clients, and the corporate bottom line. Building on her Harvard Business Review article, “Manage Your Emotional Culture,” O’Neill will highlight real-world case studies from across different industries and share practical tips for how managers, HR business partners, and individual change agents can diagnose, manage, and change their emotional cultures.

Film Screening:Millis Erwachen/Milli’s Awakening (Natasha Kelly, 2018)
2019-02-20 18:30 - 21:00 | North Quad - 2435
Milli's Awakening takes its name from the painting Sleeping Milli (1911), in which expressionist painter Ludwig Kirchner takes an eroticizing and exoticizing view of his Black female model. But one instance in centuries-long history of Black people in Germany, “Milli” remains silent, speaking volumes about how Black women have been reduced to anonymous objects of desire. Milli’s awakening seeks to intervene in this history, by bringing together the voices of eight Black German women of different generations. Through their artistic practices they have defined self-determined positions within white German mainstream society. Like a quilt, the film unfolds in a way reflecting the diversity and interwoven nature of these (hi)stories.

The German Film Series begins with a light dinner at 6:30 pm followed by introduction of the screening at 7:00 pm. **Screened in German with English subtitles. With Q&A in English with director Natasha Kelly following the film. Introduced by Professor Kristin Dickinson.

Co-sponsored by Alamanya, with support from the Center for European Studies and DAAS.

Film Screening:Screening and Discussion: “East Wind West Wind: Pearl Buck” (1993)
2019-02-20 18:30 - 21:00 | Palmer Commons - Forum Hall (4th Floor)
In December 1938, the Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to an American woman for the first time. With this announcement, the 46-year old Pearl Buck vaulted into the international spotlight. East Wind West Wind follows the extraordinary life of a missionary child. Born in West Virginia at the end of the nineteenth century and raised in rural China, who became one of the 20th century’s most popular authors. Best known for her novel “The Good Earth”, Pearl Buck wrote over 100 books during her career. She was also an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, civil rights, the real of the Chinese Exclusion Act, mixed race adoption and tolerance for the mentally challenged. The final segment of the documentary sums up her extraordinary legacy.

Meeting:Building a Movement: Climate Action on Campus
2019-02-20 19:00 - 20:30 | Weill Hall (Ford School) - Annenberg Auditorium
The University of Michigan and the City of Ann Arbor must work together in the pursuit of a clean energy future. This is where we start. Come join the conversation about the future of University of Michigan climate action!

This event is intended to yield specific and direct climate actions items that individuals, groups, and the whole community can take together. This event is taking the place of back-room event planning and allows the entire community to have a voice in dictating the future of climate action on campus and in the city!

The first half an hour of the consists of an expert panel consisting of 3 panelists talking about Ann Arbor Climate Policy, UM Climate Policy, and Environmental Justice. These speakers will talk about their opinions on the direction of climate action and climate policy on the UM campus and in the city of Ann Arbor.

Next, there will be a small group breakout session to allow for individual and small group brainstorming on the direction for AA/UM climate action.

Finally, there will be a whole group/community-wide brain storming session to map everyone's suggestions on the direction of future climate action. This should culminate in specific action items we would all like to get behind and take together as the next step in building the campus climate movement!

Join Us!! Food provided!!

Performance:DanceWorks Chicago & Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange
2019-02-20 19:00 | Off Campus Location - Hankinson Rehearsal Hall
The University of Michigan Department of Dance and Center For World Performance Studies, in collaboration with EXCEL and Arts In Color, is proud to present an evening with DanceWorks Chicago and the Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange. These two guest-residencies are overlapping in a night of movement and music improvisation, a DanceWorks Chicago performance, and a panel discussion regarding the topic of creating inclusive spaces in the arts.

DanceWorks Chicago is committed to building a foundation for the individual artistic growth of dancers and choreographers, providing a laboratory from which early career artists propel themselves and the art form to a new level through training, collaboration, mentorship, and performance. Led with integrity by Julie Nakagawa and Brendan P. Behan, DanceWorks Chicago fills a niche in the dance ecosystem investing in and shining a spotlight on the individual artists. Welcoming the public to engage with the DanceWorks family to build context around the work of art is both our pleasure and our duty as a good dance citizen.

The Anishnaabe Theatre Exchange is a collaborative project using theatre to activate networks with Native communities in the Great Lakes region, and involves University of Michigan students, faculty and staff with the Cultural Department of the Chippewa Sault Ste. Marie Tribe, Lake Superior State University and Bay Mills community members.

This event will be live-streamed here: https://smtd.umich.edu/performances-events/live-stream-hankinson/

Lecture / Discussion:The Vanished Synagogues of Medieval Seville
2019-02-20 19:00 - 20:30 | Off Campus Location
In 1388, Ferrán Martínez, a cleric at the Cathedral of Seville, complained that there were twenty-three synagogues in the city and threatened to demolish them all if given a chance. A few years later, in 1391, Martínez’s threat became reality when hundreds of Seville’s Jews were massacred during a violent riot, and the community’s synagogues were destroyed or converted into churches. How were Seville’s Jews able to construct many new houses of worship in the city, dodging secular and ecclesiastical prohibitions? Why did synagogues become the focal point of Martínez’s anti-Jewish campaign? The talk will attempt to answer these questions while examining Jewish life in the kingdom of Castile just before the tragic events of 1391 changed it forever.

Lecture / Discussion:Cognitive Science Community
2019-02-20 19:30 - 20:30 | Weiser Hall - 955
The next professor talk will take place on Wednesday, February 20, starting at 7:30 p.m. Professor Chandra Sripada will be joining the group to discuss "Empirically Investigating the Stream of Consciousness." His talk is about spontaneous streams of thought -- ideas, images, and memories -- that meander across the mind when otherwise unoccupied. Professor Sripada will report on new studies from his lab that shed light on how these streams are constructed. He will also discuss agency in the stream of consciousness: Do we actively construct streams of thought or do they passively “pop” into our minds?

Performance:Las Cafeteras
2019-02-20 19:30 - 22:30 | Off Campus Location
A “uniquely Angeleno mishmash of punk, hip-hop, beat music, cumbia, and rock…live, they’re magnetic” (Los Angeles Times). Las Cafeteras create a vibrant musical fusion with a unique East LA sound and positive message, a mix-and-match of styles and sources that deliver socially conscious lyrics in both English and Spanish. Their wildly vibrant Afro-Mexican beats, rhythms, and rhymes document stories of a community looking for love and fighting for justice in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles.

Performance:Faculty Recital: Kathryn Votapek, violin and Christopher Harding, piano with Adam Unsworth, horn
2019-02-20 20:00 | Off Campus Location - Britton Recital Hall
Kathryn Votapek and Christopher Harding present a recital featuring sonatas of Mozart and Rodrigo. Adam Unsworth joins them for a performance of Brahms’s Horn Trio.

Performance:Ladysmith Black Mambazo
2019-02-20 20:00 | Off Campus Location
Ladysmith Black Mambazo recently celebrated more than 50 years of joyous and uplifting music. Within this music are the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions. The group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya), which developed in the mines of South Africa, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Assembled in the early 1960s in South Africa by Joseph Shabalala, then a young farm boy turned factory worker, the group took the name Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown, about three hours west of Durban and three hours east of Johannesburg; Black being a reference to the oxen, the strongest of all farm animals; and Mambazo being the Zulu word for chopping axe, a symbol of the group’s ability to "chop down" any singing rival who might challenge them. A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract—the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than 50 recordings (including Paul Simon's "Graceland") and has earned three Grammy awards

This annual concert of new works by student composers, led by student conductors, and played by student musicians is often one of the most inspiring concerts of the year. This program provides an important and singular opportunity for composers and conductors to learn by working with one another and the musicians of the UPO in a collaborative process, while also being mentored by their principal composition and conducting teachers.
