SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Roger Mathew Grant: \"The Colonial Galant Style: Eighteenth-Century Music from Chiquitania\, Bolivia\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Theory hosts guest scholar Roger Mathew Grant (Wesleyan University) as part of the Carrigan Lecture Series. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ninth Annual King Talks
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Assembly Hall at Rackham Graduate School for an evening of powerful storytelling. Rackham graduate students will take the stage and tell stories that weave together their lived experience\, scholarly work\, and reflections on this year’s MLK Symposium theme.\n\n2026 MLK Symposium Theme:\n“Unbowed and Unbroken: The Enduring Struggle for Justice”\n\nThis year’s symposium explores the enduring pursuit of justice through the lens of perseverance\, courage\, and collective resolve. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s theological roots and his reflections on the Civil Rights Movement\, the theme echoes his 1967 address\, “Where Do We Go From Here?”\, in which he reminded us that the journey toward justice is marked by both profound challenges and unwavering hope.\n\nTo be unbowed and unbroken is to honor the sacrifices of those who came before us while refusing to yield to injustice today. It is a commitment to move forward with defiant hope—confronting discrimination not with resignation\, but with determination and belief in the possibility of meaningful change.\n\nThrough storytelling\, reflection\, and community\, this event invites attendees to engage deeply with these ideas and consider how justice\, resilience\, and hope continue to shape our collective path forward.\n\nEvent Agenda\n5:30 p.m. – Doors Open & Reception\n6:00 p.m. – Program Begins\n\nWe hope you’ll join us for this meaningful evening of stories\, dialogue\, and connection.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Julia Keefe and the Indigenous Big Band
DESCRIPTION:For hundreds of years\, songs have been the vessels for stories\, lessons\, and prayers for the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. One of the newest additions to this world is the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band\, which presented its very first concert in 2022. The band focuses on reimagined traditional melodies made famous by Indigenous jazz musicians from the past\, like singer Mildred Bailey (Coeur d’Alene) and saxophonist Jim Pepper (Kaw/Mvskoke)\, as well as new works that push the genre forward.\n\nLed by the celebrated vocalist and luminary Julia Keefe (Nez Perce)\, the ensemble brings charisma\, passion\, and purpose to every stage\, leaving audiences both inspired and educated. The band has quickly gained a reputation for deepening and challenging our understanding of the “uniquely American” art form known as jazz. The goals of the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band are to celebrate and continue that tradition\, to compose and perform new music inspired by traditional backgrounds\, and to create a community of like-minded peoples from all backgrounds to uplift the next generation of Indigenous jazz musicians.\n\nIndigenous jazz musicians\, ensembles\, and big bands have their place in the contemporary jazz world and jazz history. Following 19th-century federal policies to remove Indian children from their homes and indoctrinate them into European culture (Indian Boarding Schools)\, small ensembles and big bands began to flourish on reservations across the US and Canada in the first half of the Twentieth Century. Indigenous musicians started to ascend to celebrity with jazz as their medium – including Russell “Big Chief” Moore\, Mildred Bailey\, Oscar Pettiford\, and Jim Pepper – but were never duly credited as Indigenous visionaries in the genre. \n\nThe Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band reflects a wide range of Indigenous identities\, from South America to Canada\, Northeast to Southwest. Together\, they represent a long-silenced\, long-forgotten chapter of jazz history: the participation\, contribution\, innovation\, and legacy of Indigenous jazz musicians. This is a legacy that seasoned composers and arrangers Julia Keefe and co-founder Delbert Anderson (Diné) carry forward through original works inspired by songs and rhythms of their Native heritage\, reimagined through the language and stylings of jazz.\n\nPresented in partnership with the University Musical Society\, the talk will be followed by the band’s performance presented by UMS\, beginning at 8 PM. \n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.
