This musical performance is presented in conjunction with the Nam Center for Korean Studies’ international conference\, “Transpacific Lives in an American Century: Ilhan New as Method\,” exploring New’s life and legacy across Korea and the United States.\n\nBorn in Pyongyang\, New came to the United States at a young age and grew up in the Midwest. His journey took him from a Korean youth military school in Hastings\, Nebraska\, to Detroit and Ann Arbor\, where he studied business and commerce at the University of Michigan. In 1922\, he co-founded La Choy with his Michigan friend Wally Smith. Returning to Korea in 1926\, he established Yuhan Corporation\, a pharmaceutical company that reflected his commitment to public health and social responsibility. During and after World War II\, New also contributed to Korea’s independence efforts and the rebuilding of the nation through education\, philanthropy\, and public health initiatives. His life offers a compelling lens through which to explore migration\, identity\, entrepreneurship\, and the enduring connections between Korea and the United States.\n\nFeaturing original songs by Lisa Sung\, this performance brings New’s extraordinary story to life through music and narrative\, inviting audiences to reflect on the personal experiences and historical forces that shaped his legacy.\n\nPerformers\n- Lisa Sung — Composer and piano\n- Jeong Min Huh — Tenor\n- Brynn Hilliker — Bass\n- Cecilia Fornuto — Soprano\n- Harrison McComb — Saxophone/Flute\n- Nicholas Classen — Trombone\n- Max Wetterlen — Drums\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu.

The program also includes two other works influenced by film or staged works – Dimitri Shostakovich’s *Elegy* and *Polka*\, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s String Quartet No. 3 in D Major\, Op. 34.\n\nShostakovich wrote *Elegy* and its companion piece *Polka* in a single night in 1931. *Elegy* is the transcription of a haunting aria from his opera *Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk*\, while *Polka* is a version of a comical dance from his soccer-inspired ballet *The Golden Age*. These short pieces were lost for many years and not rediscovered until the 1980s when they were made available by the USSR State Copyright Agency. Korngold’s String Quartet No. 3 was his last chamber music work\, completed in 1945. Korngold was one of the most influential composers in Hollywood\, and in his third string quartet he quoted from his scores for films including *Between Two Worlds* (1944)\, *The Sea Wolf* (1941)\, and *Devotion* (1943). A stylistically versatile composer\, Prutsman has written scores to accompany several of Buster Keaton’s silent films – many of which are decidedly comedic. For this story\, which involves a dream sequence\, a secret theft\, a wild villain chase\, and pining after a love interest\, Prustman turns to an assortment of tones\, rhythms\, and musical techniques in order to emphasize the emotional stakes throughout the film.\n\nABOUT TELEGRAPH QUARTET\n\nThe Telegraph (Eric Chin and Joseph Maile\, violins\; Pei-Ling Lin\, viola\; Jeremiah Shaw\, cello) formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire\; they rose quickly\, winning the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. Today\, they perform across the United States and abroad\, at venues including New York City’s Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, and Town Hall\; San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre\; the Philharmonie de Paris\; and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute\, Music in the Vineyards in Napa Valley\, and the Emilia Romagna Festival in Italy.\n\nThe Telegraph Quartet released its celebrated debut album *Into the Light* in 2018 and is currently recording an extensive three-album series titled *20th Century Vantage Points* for Azica Records\, exploring string quartets of the 20th century. The first volume\, *Divergent Paths* (2022)\, features two works that (to the best of the Quartet’s knowledge) have never been recorded on the same album before: Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Arnold Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 1 in D minor\, Op. 7. In August 2025\, the Telegraph released the second volume\, *Edge of the Storm*\, which examines the turbulent years of war and its aftermath from 1941-1951 through string quartets by Grażyna Bacewicz\, Benjamin Britten\, and Mieczysław Weinberg. Volume three will be released in fall 2027. In addition\, the Telegraph released a recording of the string quartets of Robert Sirota in summer 2026 (Azica Records) and will release a recording of Kenji Bunch string quartets in spring 2027 (Phenotypic Records). \n\nBeyond the concert stage\, the Telegraph Quartet seeks to spread its music through education and audience engagement. The Quartet has given master classes\, served as artists-in-residence\, and launched ChamberFEAST!\, a chamber music workshop in Taiwan. In fall 2020\, Telegraph launched an online video project called TeleLab\, in which the ensemble collectively breaks down the components of a movement from various works for quartet. In the summers of 2022 and 2024\, the Telegraph Quartet traveled to Vienna to work with Schoenberg expert Henk Guittart in conjunction with the Arnold Schoenberg Center\, researching all of Schoenberg's string quartets. \n \nhttp://www.telegraphquartet.com UID:150385-21909154@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150385 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261027T181721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261030T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261030T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band DESCRIPTION:Multiple Grammy-winning American composer Michael Daugherty has served on the faculty of the University of Michigan's School of Music\, Theatre & Dance for over 30 years.

While often associated with Frédéric Chopin\, this recital explores the broader and evolving story of the mazurka through the voices of both celebrated and lesser-known composers from Poland and around the world.\n\nThe program presents a diverse collection of works that reveal how composers have transformed this Polish dance into a vehicle for artistic expression\, cultural identity\, and contemporary creativity. It includes mazurkas by Karol Szymanowski\, whose innovative language expanded the genre in the twentieth century\, as well as works by composers inspired by Chopin’s legacy\, including Zygmunt Stojowski\, Julian and Nathalie Janotha. The program also features mazurkas by lesser-known Polish composers such as Wojciech Kilar and Mikołaj Piotr Górecki\, whose individual musical voices offer new perspectives on the evolution of the genre. Special attention is given to the contributions of female composers\, whose works enrich the mazurka’s continuing legacy.\n\nAlongside these historical works\, the program features newly commissioned mazurkas created for the international 21st Mazurkas project—a visionary artistic initiative conceived\, developed\, and realized by pianist Anna Kijanowska. Bringing together composers from Poland\, Europe\, North America\, South America\, and New Zealand\, the project presents the mazurka as a living international form. These contemporary works demonstrate the remarkable adaptability of the genre\, blending elements of folk tradition\, personal expression\, modern compositional techniques\, and diverse cultural influences. Each composer offers a unique perspective\, transforming the mazurka into a global musical language while maintaining its connection to its Polish roots. Among the contributors is Matthew Bengtson\, Associate Professor of Piano Literature at the University of Michigan\, whose commissioned mazurka forms part of this international collection.\n\nAll of these new works were written especially for pianist Anna Kijanowska and recorded on the award-winning DUX album 21st Mazurkas (DUX 2149). The recording received the Platinum Prize at the Golden European Piano Awards 2025\, together with the Special Regional Representative Award (Cieszyn\, Poland) and the Artist of the Month distinction.\n\nThrough a dialogue between historical voices and contemporary creators\, *Mazurka: Dance of a Polish Soul\, Voice of the World* celebrates the mazurka as a living art form—one that continues to evolve across generations\, cultures\, and continents\, while remaining deeply connected to Poland’s rich musical heritage.\n\n*This event is supported in part by the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia\, and partially funded by a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage\, Republic of Poland.* UID:150308-21908999@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150308 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Culture,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Earl V.

Bond: Carrigan Lecture in Music Education DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Education presents a guest lecture by Vanessa L. Bond\, Ph.D.\, with support from the Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Education.\n\nABSTRACT\n\n\"Mistakes are welcome here.” “Failure is not fatal.” “Every failure is a step to success.” Platitudes about the importance of failure abound. And yet\, failure is rarely tolerated in our educational and artistic systems. In this discussion\, I will interweave empirical research\, philosophical perspectives\, and personal insights to argue that pedagogical and artistic innovation require space and structures that nurture failure. I will offer concrete possibilities for reimagining specific curricular\, assessment\, and mentoring practices in music education. Ultimately\, if we design intentional opportunities to fail\, we open up greater opportunities to grow. \n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nDr. VANESSA L. BOND\, Professor and Coordinator of Graduate Music Education at Rowan University\, researches intersections of music education and the Reggio Emilia approach\, culturally responsive music education\, mentoring\, and academic motherhood. Her recent scholarship appears in the *Journal of Research in Music Education* and the *Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education*. She is also the author of the forthcoming research-to-practice book\, *Inspiring Musical Play in General Music Through Loose Parts*.

This event is made possible with support from the Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nThis talk examines various classification schemes for music theory and analysis\, especially ones that have played a central role in my own research activities. After a brief consideration of the ubiquity of *binary* oppositions in music-theoretical thought\, along with some limitations of this approach\, the remainder of the talk focuses on classifications consisting of *three* elements\, what I call (after Nattiez) *tripartitions*. I set the stage for my investigations by reviewing the three dialectically grounded tripartitions of *intervals*\, *harmonies*\, and *keys* as proposed by Mortiz Hauptmann in the mid nineteenth century. The heart of my talk then details three tripartitions in the domains of harmony\, form\, and general analytical methodologies. The first tripartition classifies harmonic progressions into three types: *prolongational*\, *sequential*\, and *cadential*. With the second tripartition\, I consider the temporal functions of *beginning*\, *middle*\, and *end*\, and examine how these temporalities are expressed by a variety of formal functions and formal types. The final tripartition\, inspired by some ideas of Leonard B. Meyer\, organizes various modes of music analysis into three general categories: *conformant*\, *statistical*\, and *syntactical*. To conclude\, I return to Hauptmann and consider the extent to which my three tripartitions correlate with his dialectical framework.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nWILLIAM CAPLIN completed undergraduate studies in music composition (BM\,1971) at the University of Southern California and graduate studies in the history and theory of music (MA\, 1975\; PhD\, 1981) at the University of Chicago. He began his academic career in the Faculty of Music at McGill University in 1978. He was appointed Distinguished James McGill Professor of Music Theory in 2019 following fourteen years as a James McGill Professor.\n\nCaplin specializes in the theories of musical form and musical cadence. His extensive investigations into formal procedures of late-eighteenth-century music culminated in the 1998 book *Classical Form: A Theory of Formal Functions for the Instrumental Music of Haydn\, Mozart\, and Beethoven* (Oxford University Press)\, which won the 1999 Wallace Berry Book Award from the Society for Music Theory. He has refined and extended his theoretical approach in his recent book *Cadence: A Study of Closure in Tonal Music* (OUP\, 2024). Caplin has also undertaken research in the history of music theory. His most notable study in this area\, “Theories of Musical Rhythm in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries\,” appears in *The Cambridge History of Western Music Theory*. His current academic project is a complete harmonic\, cadential and formal analysis of Beethoven’s thirty-two piano sonatas.\n\nCaplin’s research work has been honoured by two Festschrift publications: *Formal Functions in Perspective: Essays on Musical Form from Haydn to Adorno* (Eastman Studies in Music\, 2015)\; and “Contemplating Caplin\,” a Festschrift issue of *Intersections: Canadian Journal of Music* 31/1\, 2010. In 2015\, he was elected a Fellow in the Royal Society of Canada (Academy of Arts and Humanities). Following his retirement in 2022\, he was awarded the 2023 McGill University Medal for Exceptional Academic Achievement. Most recently\, he received the 2025 Pascall Medal from the Society for Music Analysis (UK).

It tells the story of “sundown towns” where residents drove out or actively excluded specific groups from residing there (from being in a town after sunset) through ordinances\, signs\, and acts of violence. Sundown towns excluded Black people\, and in some cases\, Chinese Americans\, Jewish people\, Native Americans\, Latinas/os and other racialized groups. Since the 19th century these towns have been prevalent throughout the U.S. and especially in the Midwest\, West\, and East.\n\nThese policies did not completely disappear over time. The attitudes that drove them morphed into housing “covenants\,” redlining\, discrimination within the post-war FHA and discrimination in the granting of bank loans. The results of these decisions and policies haunt our country to this very day. *Don’t Let the Sun* will shine a light on this difficult chapter in America’s ever-expanding history\, and help audiences engage productively with “hard” histories.\n\nMr. Loewen’s *Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism* is the definitive history of these phenomena. Another source is the “History and Social Justice” website launched by Dr. Loewen\, which has had nearly one million visitors over the last three years\, and continues to amass cases and first-hand accounts. Librettist Richard Wesley’s text is inspired by the voices of individuals impacted by sundown towns and more recent policies\, examining the harm experienced by both the excluded and the excluders\; and recent efforts by many sundown towns to reckon with their past and shape a better future.\n\n*\"Don't Let the Sun\" was commissioned with support from an Arts Initiative Project Support (AIPS) grant\, an Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) grant\, the U-M Brehm Choral Commissioning Fund and generous support from the Department of History\, the Department of American Culture\, and the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.*\n\n–––\n*Parking / Traffic alert for attendees:*\nhttps://smtd.umich.edu/2026-construction\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS\n\nTHEODORE WIPRUD is a composer\, an educator\, and a researcher on the musical community’s work toward equity and inclusion. Many of his works address social issues\, including vocal works like *American Journal* (Robert Hayden) and *A Georgia Song* (Maya Angelou)\; and orchestral works like his Violin Concerto *“Katrina”\; Wind of Many Voices*\, responding to the troubled history of South Dakota\; and a second Violin Concerto *“on the brink”* exploring climate grief and climate action. \n\nRICHARD WESLEY is a playwright and screenwriter whose many plays deal with social-historical moments. He wrote the libretto for Anthony Davis’ Pulitzer Prize-winning opera *Central Park Five*. Mr. Wesley has received numerous awards including the NAACP Image Award for Best Picture (for *Uptown Saturday Night*) and the National Black Theater Festival’s August Wilson Playwright Award. He teaches at New York University.

This event is an immersive performance installation that shifts the focus of dance from exterior virtuosity to interior listening. An improvisational score will be performed at 6:45 pm and 7:45 pm. Guests are invited to come and go whenever during those two hours.\n\n*Small Dance Party* investigates the intersection of trans/queer studies and dance studies by centering softness\, attunement\, and the ordinary as radical sites of inquiry. While acknowledging the highly virtuosic performances often found in queer communities\, this project offers an alternative: a queer dance space that values quiet listening to the body and the environment. By framing dance as an art of attention in space and time\, the installation turns toward the mundane movements of everyday life. Outside the bounds of traditional entertainment\, dance becomes a critical\, living lens to examine transness – revealing the internal movement that happens while transitioning.\n\nDuring the event\, with music composition by Molly Jones\, participants and observers are invited into a shared meditative space. The installation asks attendees to yield control: rather than commanding the body\, participants are invited to listen to what the body has to say. By engaging with the rhythm of the internal body\, the sway of gravity\, and the expansion of breath\, *Small Dance Party* creates a deeply somatic environment for queering body\, movement\, and stillness.\n\nThis project is being held in partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts in Dance degree requirements. It was made possible by support from the Department of Dance\, William Braddan McClellan\, Jr. Fund in Dance\, Excel Lab & Career Center\, SMTD Wellness Program\, Eisenberg Family Depression Center\, and the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.

The program highlights music shaped by the idea of revisitation – it includes George Rochberg’s String Quintet (performed with cellist Norman Fischer)\; Franz Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet Op. 76\, No. 2 “Quinten”\; and Osvaldo Golijov’s *Ever Yours*\, a string octet performed with Fischer\, violist Matt Albert\, and violinists River Sawchyn and Aidan Krieger. Composed in different eras\, these works by Rochberg\, Haydn\, and Golijov each center on the idea of returning to something: musical ideas embraced before or the meanings behind emotions that influence the composers’ work.\n\nInitially known for his use of serialism – an approach to composing that focuses on creating sequences using pitches\, rhythms\, dynamics\, or other musical elements – Rochberg turned to writing music with a more melodic style after the death of his son in 1964. Rochberg claimed he couldn’t fully express his grief in music that used serialism’s pattern-focused approach. His 1982 String Quintet reflects Rochberg returns to the familiarity of more traditional melodic expression\, and though critics thought it was a creative regression\, the music still conveys what Rochberg viewed as an expanded emotional range.\n\nHaydn’s String Quartet Op. 76\, No. 2 “Quinten” bucked the composer’s trend of composing grand\, bright\, vibrant music and is instead written almost entirely in D minor\, which is often described as the saddest and most melancholy of all keys. The piece is nicknamed “Quinten\,” meaning fifths\, because of Haydn’s frequent use of this foundational interval between notes. Composed when he was in his 60s\, after a lifetime of writing some of the most sophisticated\, expressive\, and innovative works of his time\, this quartet showcases Haydn’s ability to create impressive work even with the most basic elements.\n\nAfter being asked to compose an octet for the Amsterdam String Quartet Biennale\, Osvaldo Golijov re-read letters Vincent Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. The small but consistent detail of Van Gogh’s letters closing with “ever yours” prompted Golijov to reflect on the enduring bonds between himself\, the St. Lawrence Quartet\, and their late first violinist\, co-founder\, and force of nature\, Geoff Nuttall\, to whom the octet is dedicated. At the time\, Nuttall was battling pancreatic cancer\, which would ultimately take his life. In thinking about Nuttall\, Golijov came to consider the idea of Van Gogh’s “ever yours” mentality and how attention can connect to love. Through that attention-minded lens\, Golijov saw a bond between Nuttall\, Van Gogh\, and Haydn\, a composer of whom Nuttall was especially fond\, ultimately connecting the three across time and creative spaces. \n\nThe Telegraph Quartet was truly honored to work with Nuttall\, the St. Lawrence Quartet\, and Golijov in the actual formation of the work. Golijov composed the music almost before the ensemble’s very ears\, using the instrumentation of the octet and aesthetic feedback from the Telegraph’s players to stimulate his own creative process. The work was dedicated to Nuttall\, who\, along with the St. Lawrence and Telegraph Quartets\, premiered the work at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.\n\nABOUT TELEGRAPH QUARTET\nErin Chin & Joseph Maile\, violins\nPei-Ling Lin\, viola\nJeremiah Shaw\, cello\n\nThe TELEGRAPH QUARTET formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire. Described by the *San Francisco Chronicle* as “…an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape” and “powerfully adept… with a combination of brilliance and subtlety\,” the Telegraph Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. The quartet is currently the quartet-in-residence at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe quartet has performed in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre\, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s *Chamber Masters Series*\, and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute\, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival\, and the Emilia Romagna Festival. They have collaborated with pianists Leon Fleisher and Simone Dinnerstein\; cellists Norman Fischer and Bonnie Hampton\; violinist Ian Swensen\; and the St. Lawrence Quartet and Henschel Quartett. A fervent champion of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire\, the Telegraph Quartet has premiered works by Osvaldo Golijov\, John Harbison\, Robert Sirota\, and Richard Festinger.\n\nIn 2023\, the Telegraph Quartet released *20th Century Vantage Points: Divergent Paths*\, the first in a trilogy of recordings on Azica Records exploring the string quartets of the first half of the 20th century – an era of music that the group has felt especially called to perform since its formation. *Divergent Paths* features two works that (to the best of the quartet’s knowledge) have never been recorded on the same album before: Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Arnold Schoenberg’s String Quartet no. 1 in D minor\, op. 7. The quartet’s new album\, *20th Century Vantage Points: Edge of the Storm* is out now on Azica Records.\n\nhttp://www.telegraphquartet.com UID:150386-21909155@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150386 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Earl V.

Can we dissolve the boundaries between self and the nonhuman world? What does solitude mean and how can we build a community?
