SUMMARY:Performance:PRISM Quartet with Andrew Bishop
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning PRISM Quartet performs a program of music by Roshanne Etezady\, Kristin Kuster\, Bill Ryan\, Bright Sheng\, Chris Potter\, and Don Byron. SMTD Professor Andrew Bishop will join the group as a guest artist. \n\nPRISM Quartet presents a program that travels from the factory floor to a pine forest and from Hollywood to China. Four of the works were commissioned by PRISM\, including Roshanne Etezady's *Inkling*\, a one-minute vignette written in 2004 for the ensemble's twentieth anniversary. As its title suggests\, it offers the merest hint of an idea\, and its clouds of sound showcase PRISM's flexibility and color. Don Byron's new *Quartet for Saxophones* is a fearless homage to classic film scores of the '50s and '60s\, from the title-sequence swagger of \"Saul Bass\" to a closing \"Fandango.\" Bright Sheng's *Old Tune Renewed* takes its name from a Chinese tradition in which performers reinvent well-known compositions as new works. Sheng builds his piece on a folk song from Northwestern China\, capturing the spirit of singing that rings through open valleys while imbuing it with his own voice. In selections from Chris Potter's epic *Improvisations*\, written for PRISM's Heritage/Evolution series and recorded on *Heritage/Evolution\, Volume 2*\, jazz saxophonist Andrew Bishop improvises over the quartet\, stepping into the solo role first shaped by Potter and Ravi Coltrane on the recording. The program's other two works have deep Michigan roots. Bill Ryan's *Tiny Machines*\, a set of miniatures inspired by the robotic assembly line at Ford's truck plant in Dearborn\, is heard in an arrangement commissioned by the Sinta Quartet. Kristin Kuster wrote *Red Pine* for the Sinta Quartet to mark Don Sinta's retirement from the University of Michigan. WNYC's John Schaefer calls it \"a sonic depiction of the simple beauty of the pine forests of Ontario.\"  \n\n*This program is co-presented by the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance and New Sounds Music\, with support from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council.*\n\nPRISM Quartet is:\nTimothy McAllister\, soprano saxophone (SMTD Professor of Saxophone)\nZach Shemon\, alto saxophone \nMatthew Levy\, tenor saxophone \nTaimur Sullivan\, baritone saxophone \n\nABOUT THE PRISM QUARTET\n\nIntriguing programs of great beauty and breadth have distinguished PRISM Quartet as one of America's foremost chamber ensembles. \"A bold ensemble that set the standard for contemporary-classical saxophone quartets\" (*The New York Times*)\, PRISM has performed at Carnegie Hall and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\, and has toured Latin America\, China\, and Russia under the auspices of USIA and USArtists International. PRISM has also appeared as soloists with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and The Cleveland Orchestra\, and has held residencies at the nation's leading conservatories\, including the Curtis Institute of Music and the Oberlin Conservatory\, with an upcoming residency at the Juilliard School. A two-time recipient of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming\, PRISM has commissioned more than 400 works by eminent composers\, including Pulitzer Prize winners William Bolcom\, Jennifer Higdon\, Susie Ibarra\, Bernard Rands\, Tyshawn Sorey\, Julia Wolfe\, and Zhou Long\, and MacArthur Fellows George Lewis\, Bright Sheng\, and Miguel Zenón. PRISM's discography is extensive\, with nearly 40 releases on Albany\, BCM&D\, BMOP/Sound\, ECM\, innova\, Koch International\, Navona\, Naxos\, New Dynamic\, New Focus\, Orange Mountain Music\, and its own label\, XAS Records. *The Fifth Century*\, PRISM's ECM recording with The Crossing\, won a 2018 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance. PRISM was named by its alma mater\, the University of Michigan\, as the first recipient of the Christopher Kendall Award in recognition of its work in \"collaboration\, entrepreneurship\, and community engagement.\" PRISM Quartet performs exclusively on Selmer saxophones.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
