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). In 2008\, in recognition of three decades of performing\, producing\, and teaching\, he received the performance name Kansuke II. Wheeler has played a central role in every major world shakuhachi festival since 1994. In 1999\, he co-founded the Shakuhachi Summer Camp of the Rockies\, which held its 26th camp in June 2024. 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.

In Arthur Meulemans’ *Toccata*\, downbeat versus upbeat clarity is constantly obscured. In *Aqua*\, breath-based time\, a series of short gestures separated by a duration determined entirely by listening and breathing. Matthias Vanden Gheyn\, the first composer from whom exists written music for a carillonist to perform\, wrote a series of preludes that make very idiomatic use of the different registers of the carillon. The result: near perpetual motion in the treble bells. Next\, flexible time (rubato): Jef Denyn’s *Preludium in D*\, a highly romantic work by the founder of the Royal Carillon School in Belgium\, the world’s first school for carillon. The four movements of Werner Van Cleemput’s *3 Sonneries & 1 Bis* each use a different rhythmic or temporal syntax. The first movement makes delightfully clunky use of gestures and accents that obscure the underlying meter\, the second movement is freer and airier\, the third movement fits very clearly and vigorously into its time signature\, and the finale is a constant accelerando. The final piece\, *Absorptions*\, is seven systems\, seven little worlds into which the performer is to settle and explore before moving on. Each world has a direction\, specific enough for coherence\, vague enough to allow the performer room to explore\, for example: ‘wobbly walking’\, ‘a chord\, very occasionally’\, and ‘turbulent tremolo’. Meditative time.\n\nFree and open to the public\; presented in conjunction with the 2025 U-M Organ Conference: \"Ludus Chronalis: Time\, Cadence\, and Temporality in Keyboard Music and Sacred Spaces.\"\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nALEX JOHNSON is the seventh University Carillonist of the University of Chicago.

A year later\, he won the Orchestra’s second trumpet position\, carrying on the tradition of brass section teamwork for which the CSO is famous. Previously\, he was principal trumpet of the Wichita Symphony Orchestra in Kansas and served as assistant professor of trumpet at Wichita State University.\n\nHagstrom is the host of *Intermission* at the CSO\, a podcast produced by the CSOA showcasing the voices of numerous CSO musicians through individual features or within topical episodes that discuss the dedication of the CSO to its mission and to its listeners. Originally conceived as a way for CSO supporters and students to stay connected to the Orchestra during the COVID-19 pandemic\, it additionally features selected moments of many of the CSO’s recordings.\n\nHagstrom is passionate in his support of music education\, and in 2006 helped to initiate *Dream Out Loud*\, a music-education advocacy partnership between the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association and the Yamaha Corporation of America. Through that initiative\, he developed a variety of resources for elementary through high school students\, their teachers and parents\, designed to support students’ music education and provide encouragement through times of challenge.\n\nA native Chicagoan\, Hagstrom grew up listening to the CSO. He studied at the Eastman School of Music and for six years was a member of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band in Washington\, D.C.\, where he spent three of those years as principal trumpet.

He headlined New York’s Winter Jazz Festival in January 2025\, performing in four different configurations over the course of a single week. This performance ties in with a new album release following In These Times\, his phenomenally successful 2022 recording.

These artists mastered traditional Korean instruments such as the Gayageum\, Geomungo\, and Piri\, and became treasured performers at palace festivities and ceremonies.\n \n Today\, this inspiring tradition continues to thrive. With support from Korea’s Ministry of Culture\, Sports\, and Tourism\, the Siloam Center for the Blind established the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind in 2011—transforming a centuries-old legacy into a beacon of contemporary excellence and empowerment. The Orchestra not only pays tribute to the artistry and history of the Gwanhyeonmaengin but also creates meaningful career opportunities for visually impaired musicians in Korea today.\n \n The ensemble’s repertoire is as dynamic as it is diverse: from jeongak (the elegant court music once reserved for royalty) to lively folk melodies that capture everyday Korean life\, and innovative fusion arrangements that bridge past and present. This ongoing evolution ensures Korea’s unique musical heritage remains vibrant\, relevant\, and deeply moving.\n \n As you experience the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind\, you’ll encounter a living legacy—a powerful testament to talent\, perseverance\, and inclusion—connecting the splendor of ancient Korean palaces to the energy of the modern stage\, and resonating with audiences everywhere.\n\nCreative Team:\n- Scenic Designer:\nJungah Han\nAssistant Professor of Theatre & Drama\nSchool of Music\, Theater\, and Dance\nUniversity of Michigan\nhttps://www.jungahhan.com\n\n- Technical Director:\nChad Hain\nTheatrical Scenery Manager and Mentor Instructor\nSchool of Music\, Dance\, and Theater\nUniversity of Michigan\n\n*The songs will be performed in Korean\, with both Korean and English subtitles provided for the audience.*\n\nView the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind promotional video: https://myumi.ch/79M3E\n\nEvent program: https://myumi.ch/Xyz1P\n\nFree & open to the Public \nNo tickets required \nDoors open at 6 PM\n\nAccessibility Accommodations: \nSongs are performed in Korean\, with subtitles in both Korean and English. \nWheelchair-accessible entry and seating are available. \nBraille copies of the event program are provided.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu.

A true icon of modern music\, Hancock has transcended limitations and genres while maintaining his unmistakable voice\, and there are few artists in the music industry who have had more influence on acoustic and electronic jazz and R&B.\n\nBorn in Chicago in 1940\, Hancock was a piano prodigy who performed a Mozart piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 11\, years before he began playing jazz. After Detroit trumpeter Donald Byrd recognized his talents as a 20-year-old\, he signed with Blue Note Records as a solo artist\; his 1963 album produced the hit “Watermelon Man\,” which marked him as an instant success story. A history-shaping tenure with the Miles Davis Quintet followed\, and he would later herald the birth of jazz fusion. In short\, he has been an integral part of every popular musical movement in the 50+ years since\, leaving an indelible imprint wherever he lands. This performance marks Hancock’s fourth UMS concert appearance since 2000 and his first since April 2015.

This lecture probes Datong’s negotiation between historical allusion and experimental modification\, theorizing its ancient music program as an invention of “heritage” that reveals the meaning and problematics of music in early Chinese modernity.\n \n Joys HY Cheung (Ph.D. in Musicology/Ethnomusicology\, University of Michigan\; MM in Ethnomusicology\, University of Texas) is an associate professor at the Graduate Institute of Ethnomusicology\, National Taiwan Normal University. Her research has focused on the field of “music” in Chinese modernity emerging from interwar Shanghai\, including issues of translated modernity\, networks\, the sublime\, qin listening\, historiography\, and heritage negotiations. Her recent publications include \"The Art Song of East Asia and Australia\, 1900-1950\" (co-edited with Alison Tokita\, Routledge\, 2023)\, and “Making Chinese Instrumental Relics in Pre-UNESCO Modernity: Datong Music Society’s ‘Heritage’ Project” (Journal of Music Research 音樂研究\, Taipei). Her article “Riding the Wind with Mozart’s ‘Jupiter’ Symphony: The Kantian and Daoist Sublimes in Chinese Musical Modernity” (Music & Letters\, UK\, 2015) received the Rulan Chao Pian Publication Prize in 2016. With her recent discovery of a set of Chinese musical instruments donated by the Datong Music Society to Deutsches Museum in Munich\, Germany in 1925\, she has initiated a collaborative exhibit and research project between her institution and the Deutsches Museum. She was a scholar-in-residence at the Deutsches Museum\, May to July 2025.

He will coach singers\, discuss performance practices\, and demonstrate various instrumental accompanying styles. Works from the famous *24 Italian Songs and Arias* will be the focus\, but any repertoire from the 17th century will be welcome. \n\nPlease email Prof. Joseph Gascho (jgascho@umich.edu) to participate in this class and to ask questions.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nLUCAS HARRIS leads a busy freelancer’s life as a lutenist\, conductor\, continuo player\, teacher\, lecturer\, coach\, researcher\, and audio/video editor. 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:Music LOCATION:Earl V.

His debut solo album *Emblems* won Silver Medals in the Classical Album and Solo Instrumentalist categories of the 2018 Global Music Awards. The *International Tuba Euphonium Association Journal* described it as “an impressive and highly entertaining record” on which Benavidez “shreds with enthusiasm\, exuberance\, and precision.” His second album *Storyteller* won Silver Medals in the Classical Album and Solo Instrumentalist categories of the 2022 Global Music Awards and was named a finalist for the 2023 ITEA Roger Bobo Award for Excellence in Recording. *Fanfare* described the album as “splendidly eloquent […] a masterclass in expressiveness.”\n\nAs an orchestral tubist\, Benavidez has performed with the symphony orchestras of Charleston\, Charlotte\, Jacksonville\, Philadelphia\, Rochester\, Santa Fe\, Sarasota\, Tallahassee\, and Utah. He is the only tubist to have been awarded the Orchestral Fellowship and the New Horizons Fellowship at the Aspen Music Festival where he was a student for six summers\, held the principal tuba chair in the festival orchestra\, and was the winner of the Aspen Music Festival concerto competition.\n\nBenavidez was the distinguished recipient of the Horace H. Rackham Merit Fellowship for doctoral studies at the University of Michigan and was presented with the University of Michigan Paul Boylan Award for outstanding accomplishments and significant contributions in the field of music.

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:Music 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:Music LOCATION:Earl V.
