SUMMARY:Performance:Yooncho Cho\, soprano and Matthew Thompson\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Step into an intimate journey through the evocative world of Korean art song\, where memories of home\, love\, longing\, and hope come to life — revealing the inner landscapes of the human heart and the emotions that connect us all.\n\nThe Korean Performing Arts Initiative presents a guest recital featuring international concert\, stage and recording vocalist Yooncho Cho\, performing with SMTD professor Matthew Thompson.\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n\nYOONCHO CHO is internationally recognized for her luminous tone\, refined expressivity\, and remarkable artistic freedom – praised by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and *Sächsische Zeitung*. A prizewinner of several international competitions\, including the Musica Sacra\, Strauss\, Rheinsberg\, and Darclée Competitions\, she served as a principal soloist at Theater Münster and has appeared in leading roles at major German opera houses\, including Essen\, Freiburg\, and Wiesbaden. Her operatic repertoire includes roles such as Blonde (*Die Entführung aus dem Serail*) and Musetta (*La Bohème*).\n \nAs a concert artist\, she has performed at the Berlin Philharmonie and in major venues across Europe\, collaborating with distinguished conductors such as Wolfgang Sawallisch and Christian Thielemann. Her repertoire includes Bach’s Passions\, Mozart’s *Requiem*\, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9\, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. She has also been featured at major international festivals\, including the Leipzig Bach Festival\, and has performed with leading orchestras across Asia.\n\nDeeply committed to Korean art song\, she shares its beauty and emotional depth with audiences worldwide. She has introduced Korean art songs – including “Arirang” – to European audiences and regularly leads masterclasses in Korea on this repertoire.\n\nHer recording of Handel’s *Dixit Dominus*\, conducted by Winfried Toll\, was released by Sony Classical. She has also appeared with the Seoul Metropolitan Opera and the Korea National Opera.\nShe studied at Seoul National University\, earned her master’s degree from the Berlin University of the Arts\, and completed the Konzertexamen with highest honors at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig. She is currently Professor of Voice at Gongju National University of Education.\n\nMATTHEW THOMPSON DMA (collaborative piano) joined the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance faculty in 2011 and was recently described by a former student as “giving one of the most wholesome\, nerdy\, epic-but-modest unicorn professor experiences you’ll ever find at U-M.” As a collaborative pianist\, Dr. Thompson has performed with operatic celebrities including Thomas Hampson\, Golden Mask winner Vince Yi\, and even musical theater gurus like Tony Award winner\, Gavin Creel. \n\nA lifelong gamer\, Dr. Thompson’s interests in video game music have become a major component of his teaching and research.  His upcoming book\, *The Video Game Piano Phenomenon: Press Ab to Play* will release in Spring 2027 as part of Intellect Publishing’s Studies in Game Sound and Music book series. \n\nIn 2022\, Thompson published a database of Korean Art Song\, koreanartsongresource.com\, currently containing thousands of song entries. The same year\, he organized and performed “K-ArtSong: a Korean Art Song Recital\,” excerpts of which went viral in Korean news media accumulating more than 10 million views. In 2024\, Thompson traveled to Korea and performed with U-M student\, Jack Morin\, on a Korean reality show\, *KoreaInvitesU*.\n\nThompson received masters and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan in collaborative piano\, studying with his long time mentor\, Martin Katz.

SUMMARY:Performance:2 X 2 - dance\, storytelling and genre-defying performance
DESCRIPTION:Amy Chavasse (faculty\, Dance)\, Malcolm Tulip (faculty\, Theatre & Drama)\, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance major\, Anna Bodescu join together for an evening of storytelling\, movement\, and dance. Careening from acts boisterous and absurd to tributes reverent and tender\, the three works promise an unflinching examination of the human condition.\n\nPROGRAM\n\n*Little Charlotte the Round Ray* (premiered at the Disguise Festival\, Northampton\, MA\, May 2025)\n\nA cautionary tale\, told as speculative fiction in kaleidoscopic movement\, song and storytelling. It examines the desperation that can emerge from belief systems that elevate hysteria\, and wishful thinking. At its core\, this is a heartfelt homage to Charlotte.\n\n*Low Light* (premiered at the Beijing Dance Festival\, 2014)\n\nIn 1956\, Rachel Carson wrote a script for the popular TV show *Omnibus* called *Something About the Sky*. She hoped to challenge the \"sterile preoccupation with things artificial\" and question our \"alienation from our source of strength.” Our absolute and essential humanness calls out for a re-imagined vocabulary of encounters. This dance seeks to uncover how this looks and feels across an expanse of emotional latitude – the imaginary line that connects points across the surface of the earth. Geographical imagery provides a framework as the dancer moves inside a quivering\, episodic narrative.\n\n*deux dogtooth* (premiered at the Arthur Miller Theatre\, 2017)\n\nA duet for Tulip and Chavasse that uses misappropriation and agitprop in a tightly structured improvisation that relies on intricately timed textural layering\, gestures and humor. Obliquely referencing the 2009 film\, *Dogtooth* by Yorgos Lanthimos\, the action unfolds on and around a table\, two chairs and a thick shag rug.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Women Who Move Us: Honoring the Inspiring Women Who Helped to Define Us
DESCRIPTION:*The Women Who Move Us* builds on the success of *Women Defining Themselves* (May 2024)\, continuing a powerful exploration of how movement and music illuminate the stories that shape us. This evening’s performance honors the inspiring women who have carried us\, guided us\, and left lasting impressions on our lives\, including mothers\, mentors\, daughters\, and friends. \n\nThrough original choreography and soulful music\, we celebrate the resilience\, wisdom\, and beauty of these women while deepening our understanding of the arts’ capacity to heal\, connect\, and inspire across generations. Reception to follow.\n\nAll proceeds from the evening will support the Scott Pranger ALS Center at Michigan Medicine\, advancing research for neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nAbout Dance/Wellness faculty member Amy West’s mission:\n\n\"This project is grounded in lived experience. For seven years\, my husband and I\, along with help from caregivers\, cared for my mother-in-law in our home as she slowly succumbed to dementia. Walking beside her during this time profoundly shaped my understanding of health\, caregiving\, and resilience\, and reinforced the importance of connection across all stages of life. *The Women Who Move Us* is both a tribute to her memory and a collective gesture of love and advocacy for all families and caregivers navigating memory loss. It also reflects my commitment to honoring the legacies of the women who came before us while supporting the health and well-being of those who carry them forward. The project will extend its reach through collaboration with the Scott Pranger ALS Center at Michigan Medicine\, linking the performing arts with medical research and care. By bringing together performance and science\, this partnership reflects the shared humanity at the core of both disciplines: the desire to honor\, heal\, and sustain life.\"  \n\nDonate to the Scott Pranger ALS Center at Michigan Medicine:\nhttps://giving.umich.edu/basket/fund/336111
