The program will begin with Jean-Michel DeFaye's *Suite Marine*\, a depiction of various creatures from the sea. Jason Fettig\, Director of Bands at the SMTD and budding thespian\, will join us to narrate Anthony Plog's *Animal Ditties IX*\, which is a colorful work based on short poems by Ogden Nash\, widely considered to be America's Poet Laureate of Light Verse. Closing the first half will be the world premiere of *\"Woof!\"*\, by hornist\, composer\, and SMTD alum James Naigus. This piece is a clever depiction of the characteristics of seven dog breeds.\n\nThe second half is dedicated to the evening's protagonist. Written in 1960\, *Effie the Elephant\, Suite no. 1* by Alec Wider is a relatively early work for solo tuba depicting Effie in pursuit of various human endeavors: singing a lullaby\, going folk dancing\, and falling in love\, etc. David decided that Effie needed a rebrand\, and perhaps to get out a little more: we present *Effie Swipes Left*\, *Effie Goes Clubbing*\, *Effie goes to Therapy*\, *Effie Goes to the DMV*\, *Effie Adopts a Puppy*\, and *Effie Gets Tipsy*. We're grateful to the University of Michigan for funding this commission\, and are thrilled to perform this world premiere of Jim Stephenson's *The Further Adventures of Effie the Elephant*. Jim is a wonderful composer and recovering brass player\, and this caricature is as charming as it is clever.\n\nThis will be a multimedia event\, as David's much more talented brother\, Tim\, has created an illustration for each of the 32 (short) movements on the program. \n\nThis will be a family friendly evening of storytelling and a delightfully innocuous introduction to the tuba as a solo voice.

Cole\, a native of Michigan state\, likewise led a fruitful life\, very much in the educational space - he was an advocate and leader in various compositional\, educational and musical societies\, including the Music Teachers National Association and the New York Manuscript Society. Born in New York\, Goldmark was equally known as a composer and pianist\, and notably was a student of Dvorak\, and taught Aaron Copland and George Gershwin. He served as the head of composition at the Juilliard School of Music in its early decades of founding.

Malm: Facilitating Global Musical Encounters\,” Christine R. Yano DESCRIPTION:*Presented as part of a series: \"A Celebration of Japanese Music and Dance: The Ethnomusicology Legacy of Professor William P. Malm.\" View the complete schedule at: https://myumi.ch/79rM5*\n\nJoin us for a lecture by Christine R. Yano\, Professor Emerita of Anthropology\, University of Hawaiʻi and President of the Society for East Asian Anthropology.\n\nWhat does it mean to encounter one another through unfamiliar musics? How do relative power dynamics frame the encounter? What are the contexts for the encounter and its numerous aftermaths? This talk takes Professor William Malm’s 1959 milestone book\, *Traditional Japanese Music and Musical Instruments*\, as a historical touchstone that allows us to consider various framings of the global musical encounter. Written while a graduate student in his fourth month of PhD fieldwork in Japan\, this book became a classic\, introducing the English-speaking world to various forms of Japanese music and its instruments\, and remaining on the market from 1959 until 1993. In fact\, it is still taught in many ethnomusicology classrooms.\n\nHere\, I ask\, what can we still learn from Malm’s *Traditional Japanese Music and Musical Instruments*? What kind of cross-cultural phenomenon has it been and perhaps continues to be? What is the nature of such global musical encounters\, then and now? In the introduction to the updated version of the book\, Malm says that he wrote it “with innocence and youthful enthusiasm.” What is the role of the naïve encounter\, the improvisational encounter\, the creative encounter\, even the colonial encounter between musical systems and new audiences? I propose that we consider our numerous musical encounters\, then and now (including perhaps tonight’s concert) as a juxtaposition of sound systems\, aesthetic hierarchies\, and affective frameworks. We are a jumble of differences striving for some tenuous legibility. Here is where Malm and other facilitators like him assist and even inspire in that bid to “get it.” Lastly\, let us zoom forward to an era that pays rapt attention to both the message and the politics of the messenger\, I suggest that we consider the contrastive and potentially dialogic role of the indigenous performer\, the home audience\, the knowing listener as our necessary interlocutors. In the process of considering these historicized musical meeting grounds\, how do we embrace new and critical possibilities of global musical encounters?\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nChristine R. Yano has conducted research on Japan and Japanese Americans with a focus on popular culture. Her publications include *Tears of Longing: Nostalgia and the Nation in Japanese Popular Song* (Harvard\, 2002)\, *Crowning the Nice Girl\; Gender\, Ethnicity\, and Culture in Hawaii’s Cherry Blossom Festival* (Hawaii\, 2006)\, *Airborne Dreams: “Nisei” Stewardesses and Pan American World Airways* (Duke\, 2011)\, and *Pink Globalization: Hello Kitty and its Trek Across the Pacific* (Duke\, 2013).

Malm was one of the foremost ethnomusicologists of Japanese music and one of the founding figures of ethnomusicology in the United States. His pioneering work has influenced countless musicians\, scholars\, and students. A faculty member at the University of Michigan from 1960 to 1996\, Professor Malm authored the first English-language study of Japanese music and instruments\, and developed a distinguished graduate program that brought international perspectives to the field. As director of the university's Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments\, he brought together high level scholarship\, curation\, and performance\; acquired important instruments including the first commercially made Moog Synthesizer\; and founded the U-M Gamelan Ensemble. He contributed significantly to the understanding of music across Asia through research and teaching\, and was recognized with numerous honors\, including the Fumio Koizumi Prize in Ethnomusicology and the Order of the Rising Sun from the Japanese government.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS\n\nDavid Furumoto is a professor emeritus from the Department of Theatre and Drama at the University Wisconsin-Madison\, where he taught in the acting and directing program for 21 years. He earned both his A.B. and M.F.A. at the University of Hawai’i-Manoa\, focusing on traditional Asian theatre performance. While a student\, he performed in numerous English-language premieres of Kabuki plays\, including notable roles such as Benkei in *Kanjincho* and Yuranosuke in *Chushingura*. In 1982\, he received the Crown Prince Akihito Scholarship to study as a special observer at the National Theatre of Japan’s kabuki training class. He also holds a professional title from the Onoe School of Classical Japanese Dance.\n\nMusician and musicologist David Kansuke Wheeler spent twenty years in Japan studying and performing the shakuhachi with traditional masters and ensembles\, beginning in Tokyo in 1977 under Kinko ryū master Junsuke Kawase III (Kansuke I).

Now based in Boulder\, he aims to cross musical and artistic barriers both within and outside of the Japanese traditional performing arts world.\n\nTsukasa Taiko\, a program of the nonprofit organization Asian Improv aRts Midwest\, aims to preserve\, develop\, and pass on traditional concepts of Japanese art as a cultural legacy\, while also expanding taiko as an art form. Its professional unit\, Gintenkai\, inherits compositions from Tokyo’s 1970s underground theater and music scene\, bringing them to the contemporary stage with complex\, refined arrangements. These works emphasize musical phrasing over rhythmic patterns and feature choreographic dance to retain an authentic Japanese aesthetic. Tsukasa reincorporates geza music using shamisen and shinobue\, reinforcing historical ties between music\, dance\, and theater. Performers include Kioto Aoki\, Miyumi Aoki\, and Neil Ducklow.

By this I mean that grappling with timbre is understood both to be a corrective to scholarship that has woefully ignored timbre and that attention to timbre is understood to bring us\, as listeners and scholars\, closer to some sort of sonic reality. The burgeoning subfield of timbre studies has been slow to reach chamber music\, and especially the Enlightenment-era string quartet. This lacuna is revealing: it gestures to the ways in which the string quartet has pointedly bypassed questions of timbre. The quartet has been held up as one of the paragons of “pure music” while scholars and critics have stressed questions of the genre’s “internal logic” and the interrelatedness of its musical elements (Bent 1994). For many\, the quartet is cerebral\, absolute\, and belongs to the “non-material world of the mind” (Dahlhaus 1991). This is not simply the product of later nineteenth-century formalist thought but has a longer history that is bound up with early writing on the quartet as a genre. Petiscus\, writing on the quartet in 1810\, declared that “the essential beauty of music lies not in [the] mere physical power of tone” (Petiscus 1810). Though this discourse does not necessarily name timbre\, the quartet has long been defined against music’s more material existence: it has been a space of “timbrelessness.” One inviting musicological move here would be to unmask all of this as ineluctably timbral. One could argue that timbre was ultimately vital to the instrumental blend of the quartet and that the “timbrelessness” of the quartet is intimately tied to ideas of timbral superiority and perfection associated with string instruments in the early nineteenth century. Tracing the quirky reception of Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat major\, Op. 74\, this essay considers how this particular quartet reveals the implicit timbral constraints that governed the behavior of string instruments in the genre of the string quartet\, inviting us to consider how listening past timbre has its own valuable history and learned audile techniques.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nEMILY I.

His collection of nearly twenty plucked-string instruments includes various Renaissance & Baroque lutes/guitars as well as a theorbo\, cittern\, bandora\, an 1831 Guadagnini guitar\, and a 7-string electric guitar with a Floyd-Rose tremolo bar. \n\nHe discovered the lute during his undergraduate studies at Pomona College\, where he graduated *summa cum laude*. He then studied early music at the Civica scuola di musica di Milano and at the Hochschule für Künste Bremen before beginning his freelancing career in New York City. For the past two decades he bases his activities in Toronto\, where he serves as the regular lutenist for Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. He is a founding member of the Toronto Continuo Collective\, the Vesuvius Ensemble (dedicated to Southern Italian folk music)\, as well as the Lute Legends Collective. Lucas plays with many ensembles in Canada and the USA and has worked in recent years with the Helicon Foundation\, the Smithsonian Chamber Players\, The Newberry Consort\, Les Délices\, and Jordi Savall / Le Concert des Nations\, and Early Music Vancouver. He teaches at the Tafelmusik Summer and Winter Baroque Institutes\, Oberlin Conservatory’s Baroque Performance Institute\, and the Canadian Renaissance Music Summer School. Also a choral conductor\, Lucas has been the Artistic Director of the Toronto Chamber Choir since 2014 and has developed and conducted nearly thirty themed concert programs for the TCC. He has also been a guest director for the Pacific Baroque Orchestra\, the Ohio State University Opera Program\, Les voix baroques\, Atalante\, and the Toronto Consort. Lucas’s longstanding interest in women composers has resulted in many projects including the reconstruction of 12 solo-voice motets by Chiara Margarita Cozzolani (the edition is now available for free download at the Web Library for Seventeenth-Century Music).\n\nhttp://www.lucasharris.ca\n UID:140856-21887740@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140856 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Free,Interdisciplinary,Music,North Campus,Talk,Workshop LOCATION:Earl V.

Hsieh\, \"Hearing with the state: Noise and Technologies of Post-authoritarian State Apprehension in Taiwan\" DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a guest lecture by Jennifer C. Hsieh\, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nSince the earliest implementation of noise-control regulations in 1920s New York City\, the governance of noise has exposed the gulf between the meaning and materiality of sound. Scholars of noise have argued that noise-control engineering ignores human hearing by measuring noise using quantitative values. While this assertion appears to close the chapter on the underlying contradictions of noise\, an examination of Taiwan's management of low-frequency noise – sounds that are perceptible to the ear but undetectable by decibel meters – suggests that noise remains a contested object in terms of its classification in bureaucratic systems and the handling capacity of infrastructure. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Taiwan's Environmental Protection Administration and legislative records around the time of the 1980s democratic transition\, I analyze the techno-sensorial mediation between acoustic devices\, an apprehensive state apparatus\, and embodied citizen hearers that shift the socio-material relations of noise governance into a mode of \"hearing with the state\,” one that amplifies the postauthoritarian conditions of modern-day Taiwan.\n\nFACULTY BIO\n\nhttps://lsa.umich.edu/anthro/people/faculty/socio-cultural-faculty/jchsieh.html UID:140757-21887579@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140757 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Free,Interdisciplinary,Lecture,North Campus,Research,Scholarship,Talk LOCATION:Earl V.

Yet the performance explores the uncharted geographical and stylistic spaces between the points of that triangle. Through diverse repertoire such as haunting Uyghur folk tunes from Xinjiang\, polyphonic songs from the Iberian Peninsula\, and classical forms from the Ottoman court\, we experience moments when these three musical traditions reached out to engage with one another. Guided by three plucked-string specialists joined in collaboration by mutual curiosity and friendship\, listeners will hear musical dialogues that can only take place in real or imagined \"borderlands\" where cultural boundaries blur and creativity know no bounds.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ENSEMBLE\n\nLucas Harris\, lute\; Ronnie Malley\, oud\; Wen Zhao\, pipa\n \nEach member of THE LUTE LEGENDS COLLECTIVE is a committed carrier of an ancient musical tradition\, whether it be the virtuosic modal improvisation of the Middle East\, the intricate polyphony of the European Renaissance and Baroque\, or the picturesque musical depiction of nature from China. Though instruments such as the oud\, lute\, & pipa each have evolved a distinct set of techniques and sounds\, the recognition that our beloved instruments are “long-lost cousins” invites us into a new kind of musical conversation based on mutual curiosity and friendship. The Lute Legends Collective is our way of reuniting our instruments in a cross-traditional musical experiment for the twenty-first century.\n\nLucas Harris & Wen Zhao\, directors\nhttp://www.lutelegends.com UID:137864-21880926@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137864 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Culture,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Earl V.

With the support of the Chamber Music Guest Artist Mentor Residency\, Schönberg scholar and violist\, Henk Guittart\, has worked extensively with the Telegraph Quartet and our guest artists to present the works on this program.\n\nWe'll explore two monumental works by the founder of that school\, Arnold Schönberg\, that span the full breadth of his musical journey – first with an early work form 1899\, his late-romantic and deeply expressive *Verklärte Nacht* or \"Transfigured Night\,\" a tone poem for string sextet inspired by the poem of the same name by Richard Dehmel. On the other side of his career\, the *Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte* of 1942 is a dramatic chamber music recitation\, setting Lord Byron's eponymous poem lambasting Napoleon's tyranny and defeat\, but intended by Schönberg to be a defiant statement against at the despotism and horror of Hitler's tyranny. Starting the program will be the dazzling and colorful String Quartet No. 3 by Jamaican-British composer Eleanor Alberga\, who in this specific work\, experimented with the 12-tone method invented by Arnold Schönberg\, melding that musical vocabulary into her own deeply individual aesthetic and adding yet another unique voice at the end of the century to a style that would become utterly pervasive during the 20th century.\n\nPROGRAM\nEleanor Alberga - String Quartet No. 3\nArnold Schönberg - *Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte* for String Quartet\, Piano and Reciter\n-intermission-\nArnold Schönberg - *Verklärte Nacht* for String Sextet\n\nThe award-winning Telegraph String Quartet – featuring Eric Chin and Joseph Maile (violins)\, Pei-Ling Lin (viola)\, and Jeremiah Shaw (cello) – is engaged in a three-year artist residency at the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.\n\nABOUT THE ENSEMBLE:\n\nhttps://www.telegraphquartet.com UID:137865-21880927@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137865 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Earl V.

A key step in this process is teaching them how to practice\, enabling them to act as their own instructors. Although the goal is clear\, the path toward it can be complex. Grounded in research\, this session will draw on psychological theories to illuminate the factors that shape effective practice. Studies on practice\, motivation\, and learning will be explored to show how research helps explain musical skill development. Evidence-based strategies for fostering self-regulated practice will be introduced.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nPETER MIKSZA is Professor of Music Education and Chair of the Music Education Department at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. He co-directs the IU Music and Mind Lab and researches psychological and social dimensions of musical skill\, teacher preparation\, and music education policy. Widely published and active internationally\, he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses\, advises research projects\, and serves as Editor of the Journal of Research in Music Education. Miksza previously taught in New Jersey and at the University of Colorado.

Moore Building.\n\nEach class will be led by a soloist from this year’s UMS presentation of Handel’s *Messiah*\, each working with four of our SMTD voice students. The master clinicians are Sherezade Panthaki\, soprano\; Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen\, counter-tenor\; Miles Mykkanen\, tenor\; and Enrico Lagasca\, bass-baritone.\n\nAll classes are open to the public to come and observe. Class locations are as follows:\n\nSherezade Panthaki\, soprano - McIntosh Theatre\nAryeh Nussbaum Cohen\, counter-tenor - Watkins Lecture Hall\nMiles Mykkanen\, tenor - Hankinson Rehearsal Hall\nEnrico Lagasca\, bass-baritone - Kevreson Rehearsal Hall\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nCountertenor ARYEH NUSSBAUM COHEN brings his “astonishingly beautiful\,” “golden toned” (*The Guardian*) instrument to a broad range of repertoire spanning the Baroque to the contemporary. Acclaimed as both a “young star” and “complete artist” by the *New York Times* and as “extravagantly gifted… poised to redefine what’s possible for singers of this distinctive voice type” by the *San Francisco Chronicle*\, Mr. Nussbaum Cohen’s passion for creating performances of great vocal beauty and dramatic intensity have earned him a reputation as “a redefining force in the countertenor field” (*Limelight*).\n\nMr. Nussbaum Cohen finds a close affinity between the ancient musical traditions of his Jewish heritage and the Baroque works composing much of his operatic repertoire.

His “smooth\, dark bass voice” can be heard on six Grammy Award-nominated recordings.\n\nAmid the wide-ranging demands of his repertoire\, critics note Enrico’s larger-than-life presence. “Bass-baritone Enrico Lagasca summoned nearly as much volume as everyone else onstage put together.” Storytelling is at the center of his artistry. He has been described as having “an oratorio voice that strikes fear of God in the hearts of the audience.” His performance of St. Matthew’s Passion at Saint Thomas’s Church was described as “an outpouring of devotion and grief as elegant as it was moving.”\n\nSoloist highlights of recent seasons include Haydn’s *Lord Nelson Mass* with Voices of Ascension in New York\, Handel’s *Messiah* at Ann Arbor’s University Musical Society and at Carnegie Hall with Musica Sacra\, Bach’s *Christmas Oratorio* at Washington Bach Consort\, and Mendelssohn’s *Walpurgisnacht* with the St. Louis Symphony. Enrico has collaborated with conductors such as Riccardo Muti\, Zubin Mehta\, Pablo Heras-Casado\, Nicholas McGegan\, Jane Glover\, John Butt\, John Nelson\, Matthew Halls and Carl St. Clair.\n\nEnrico’s passion extends beyond performing. He is dedicated to advocacy for the Queer community and Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion. As a member of the Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble\, a musical group committed to diversity and social justice\, he participates in creative outreach programming for various communities with limited access to the arts. His performances of Craig Hella Johnson’s *Considering Matthew Shepard* reflect Enrico’s dedication to works that address the LGBTQ+ community.

He has since impressed with a series of important debuts on the world’s major stages\, including the Metropolitan Opera\, Bayerische Staatsoper\, Canadian Opera Company\, and Royal Opera House Covent Garden\, where *The i* declared his performance “the most beautiful singing of the evening” and *Opera Magazine* dubbed it “so striking and brilliant” that “he managed toturn the Steersman into a principal character.”\n\nIn a pivotal 25/26 season\, Mykkanen stars as Sam Clay in *The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay* for the Metropolitan Opera’s opening night gala and house premiere run\, conducted by Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Mykkanen returns to the house after this season as The Groom in the first Met production of Kaija Saariaho’s *Innocence*. Elsewhere\, he makes two dual house and role debuts: as Leukippos in Strauss rarity *Daphne* at Seattle Opera\, and as Tamino in Barrie Kosky’s silent film-inspired production of *The Magic Flute* at LA Opera. He also brings his flexible tenor to Beethoven’s Symphony No.9 with Cleveland Orchestra\, led by Franz Welser-Möst\, and to Handel’s *Messiah* with Chicago’s Music of the Baroque\, conducted by Dame Jane Glover\, and the University Musical Society in Ann Arbor. He marks his first appearance at the Maastricht Festival in the Netherlands as soloist in a unique *Carmina Burana* featuring acclaimed piano duo Lucas and Arthur Jussen\, among other appearances still to be announced.

His 2025–2026 debut season as Cliburn winner includes a major tour of Asia through South Korea and China\, and U.S. recitals for Aspen Music Festival\, La Jolla Music Society/The Conrad\, UCSB Arts and Lectures\, and the Skyline Piano Artist Series at Northwestern University.\n\nRecently\, he recorded and hosted the complete Brahms solo piano music on RTHK4\, Classical Radio in Hong Kong. Upcoming seasons will see the release of two albums on Platoon: a Cliburn live release\, as well as his debut studio album.\n\nAristo Sham’s mother taught piano in their Hong Kong home\, so he says: “I was enveloped in the environment of the piano even before I was born.” His parents recall his immense curiosity towards the instrument when he was a toddler and started him in lessons when he was 3. At the age of 10\, he began competing and concertizing. But he also went to regular schools\, never making the conscious decision to focus solely on the piano or his other studies\; this made the dual degree program at Harvard and the New England Conservatory a perfect fit when he went to college. He finished his Bachelor of Arts at Harvard in 2019 and master’s at NEC under Victor Rosenbaum in 2020. He then went to the Ingesund School of Music in Sweden to study with Julia Mustonen-Dahlkvist before returning to the States to earn an artist diploma at The Juilliard School with Robert McDonald and Orli Shaham. In addition to the Cliburn\, he’s a laureate of international competitions\, with first-prize wins at Young Concert Artists\, Ettlingen\, Gina Bachauer\, and Monte Carlo Music Masters.

Free and open to the public. \n\nABSTRACT: During the middle decades of the eighteenth century\, Indigenous musicians in rural South America created a distinctive musical style music under conditions of Jesuit colonization. These musicians had been forcibly relocated to mission communities in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru\, which is now eastern Bolivia. There\, they participated in vibrant scenes of choral and orchestral performance\; they trained and retrained each other in apprenticeship systems of singing\, conducting\, composition\, and instrument building. Today a substantial corpus of their music is preserved in Bolivian archives. The extant repertoire includes several large-scale operas and liturgical compositions attributed to teams of Indigenous composers. In this talk\, I offer a systematic analysis of this repertoire and its distinctive style\, which I call “colonial galant.” I argue\, first\, how the style of this repertoire is genuinely galant and very much a part of the eighteenth-century European intellectual and aesthetic movement that shares that name. I also define the colonial galant style as a distinct sub-set of the galant and demonstrate its particular features. I hope to show that close scrutiny of this colonial repertoire can help us reframe the historiography of eighteenth-century European music.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nROGER MATHEW GRANT is a music theorist and cultural historian whose research focuses on eighteenth-century music\, affect theory\, and the history of music theory. He is the author of two award-winning books\, *Peculiar Attunements: How Affect Theory Turned Musical* and *Beating Time and Measuring Music in the Early Modern Era*. His journal articles have appeared in venues such as *Critical Inquiry*\, *Representations*\, *Music Theory Spectrum*\, and the *Journal of the American Musicological Society*. Currently\, he is at work on a new book examining eighteenth-century Indigenous compositions from Jesuit missions in Bolivia. At Wesleyan University\, Roger serves as Professor of Music\, Dean of Arts and Humanities\, and Deputy Provost. He was also recently named a Guggenheim Fellow.

He will be joined by collaborative pianist Zhihua Tang\, an associate professor in collaborative piano at the Michigan State University College of Music.\n\nGUEST BIO\n\nCHANCE HUIET is currently the Assistant Professor of Euphonium and Tuba at Michigan State University. Prior to his appointment\, Chance was the replacement Principal Tuba with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra for several seasons. He also held the Principal Tuba position with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic from 2016-2024. Chance has performed with the orchestras of Cleveland\, Melbourne (Australia)\, Utah\, Detroit\, Kansas City\, Iceland\, and Malaysia\, and Kalamazoo\, Michigan based New Orleans-style group\, the Kanola Band.\n\nAs a soloist\, Chance has performed recitals around the country including a guest artist recital at the 2018 International Tuba and Euphonium Conference held at the University of Iowa. Chance performed the John Williams Tuba Concerto on a subscription series with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic in February 2022\, his first solo appearance with the orchestra. In March 2019\, he had the privilege of premiering Viet Cuong’s Concerto for Tuba and Wind Ensemble with the Purdue Fort Wayne Wind Ensemble.\n\nIn the last few years\, Chance has been interested in learning about birds and loves exploring the native birds in places he gets to travel. Most recently\, he saw the critically-endangered Helmeted Honeyeater in Healesville\, Australia. In the 1980s\, its population had dropped to fewer than 60 breeding pairs in the wild\, but is slowly growing due to diligent work at sanctuaries like in Healesville. Though not explicitly bird related\, he recorded and self-produced an album of original folk songs released in January 2021 called\, “For the Birds.” The album is on Spotify and all listening sources.\n\nHis primary teachers\, who deserve much gratitude\, include Orcenith Smith\, Jacob Cameron\, and Philip Sinder.

Platte\, \"Glad Company: A Songful History of Mary Poppins’s Bert\" DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a talk by guest scholar Nathan R. Platte\, Professor of Musicology\, University of Iowa. Free and open to the public.\n\nIn Pamela Travers’s *Mary Poppins* novels\, Bert is a minor character. In Disney’s 1964 film musical\, he is a major one: a friend\, mentor\, father figure\, and jack-of-all trades who sings half of the film’s songs. This presentation accounts for the difference between books and film by showing how Bert’s character became a recurring solution to problems arising in the film’s development. Increasingly\, Bert’s songs came to hold the more slippery threads of Travers’s novels\, including matters of social standing\, affection\, and spiritual wonder. Drawing together story treatments\, conference notes\, scripts\, and song drafts\, this talk frames Bert as a reconciling presence\, whose onscreen assistance of others echoes his role in assuaging disagreement between novelist Travers and the film’s songwriters\, Richard and Robert Sherman.\n\nRefreshments to follow.

Music shoulders the burden of “culture” across hundreds of residents\, staff\, and volunteers from across the diaspora: Karaoke Wednesdays and Opera Fridays punctuate the daily repetition of Cantopop broadcast\, between live performances of recognizably traditional Chinese genres. In the Care Home\, culturally appropriate *music* comes to signal life\, against the hums and beeps of breathing machines foretelling death. \n\nDrawing on fieldwork from 2014-2015\, I juxtapose a diversity of ways in which members of the Care Home community have aurally engaged with (or refused) what amounts to a biopolitical regime of sound-as-life. I trace how an alternative conception of life – one that far exceeds heart beats and is grounded\, always\, in vitality and enjoyment – emerged in the social cultivation and circulation of these praxis of otherwise listening. In so doing\, I hope to offer not answers but an open question about how the ear mediates possibilities for otherwise aliveness.\" UID:144278-21895111@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/144278 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Free,Interdisciplinary,Lecture,North Campus,Research,Scholarship,Talk LOCATION:Earl V.

Lucas as part of the Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory. Free and open to the public. \n\nABSTRACT\n\nWhat does it mean to love a song that expresses the brutality of intimate partner violence? And further\, what does it mean to analyze such a song—to discover its deep structure? \n\nIn this paper\, I examine the experience of listening to and analyzing the music of the experimental musician Lingua Ignota. Taking her project name from Hildegard von Bingen’s mystical constructed language\, her music explores the intersections of Christianity\, trauma\, and intimate partner abuse. Sonically\, her music traverses deconstructed elements of metal and noise music\, vocal techniques that range from extended screams to classical mezzo-soprano\, and extensively researched references to Catholic\, Pentecostal\, Mennonite\, and Western art musical traditions. The resulting complexly layered musical texts deploy the subjectivity of Christian faith as a metaphor for intimate partner abuse. I trace how the timbral\, textual\, and vocal-expressive layers of Lingua Ignota’s music shape deeply uncomfortable sonic experiences in which a victim’s struggle to make her abuser love her is given the apocalyptic scale of a sinner struggling to avoid eternal hellfire. Building on recent work in critical music theory\, I use these uncomfortable emotional experiences to explore moments when analytical writing seems to fail.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nOLIVIA R. LUCAS is an Associate Professor of Music Theory at Louisiana State University. Her work on metal music has been published in *Music Theory Online*\, *Popular Music*\, *The Journal of Sonic Studies*\, and several edited volumes. Her article “Performing Analysis\, Performing Metal” won the 2023 SMT Emerging Scholar (Article) award. She also co-edited the volume *Teaching Difficult Topics: Reflections from the Undergraduate Music Classroom* (University of Michigan Press\, 2024). In her free time she enjoys dancing with her Mardi Gras Krewe\, the Ogden Park Coven.
