SUMMARY:Performance:Nigamon/Tunai
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of a forest of sound\, Canadian artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian artist Waira Nina deliver a poetic manifesto inspired by the bonds of friendship and solidarity.\n\nNigamon / Tunai (the words translate to “song” in the Anishinaabemowin and Inga languages) is an immersive performance ritual rooted in the presence of the natural world and co-exists with the audience\, who are in close proximity to the performers on the Power Center stage.\n\nAt the crossroads of friendship and resistance\, the two women invite us to listen deeply and to understand the knowledge and struggles that link their respective cultures: the depletion and plundering of natural resources that are core to their existence.\n\nInterweaving immersive performance and audio documentary with Indigenous knowledge and voices\, this mesmerizing new theatrical work invites audiences into ritualized listening\, and to feel the sound vibrations emitted by the surrounding water\, stones\, copper\, and tree trunks. Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

SUMMARY:Performance:John Hagstrom\, trumpet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guest artist recital featuring John Hagstrom\, the Bleck Family Chair of Trumpet for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). He will be accompanied by Liz Ames\, piano.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nJOHN HAGSTROM joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s trumpet section as fourth trumpet in 1996. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lori McKenna
DESCRIPTION:“One of Music City’s most in-demand songwriters” –Paste\n\nFrom her home base in Boston\, Lori McKenna has carved out an enviable niche for herself as one of Nashville's most in-demand songwriters\, all while maintaining a prolific and remarkably consistent career as a solo artist. The release of her anticipated album\, 1988\, adds to a series of landmark years for McKenna and follows three widely acclaimed albums: 2016’s The Bird & The Rifle\, 2018’s The Tree and 2020’s The Balladeer\, of which the Associated Press praised\, “McKenna has by now long established herself as one of the best songwriters working in any genre. And she does it again and again\,” while The Tennessean asserted\, “one of the sharpest pens in modern country and folk songwriting.” \n\nIn addition to her career as a solo artist\, McKenna continues to enjoy success as one of the music industry’s most in-demand songwriters. In 2023\, she was nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Song for co-writing “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)\,” performed by Taylor Swift. In 2017\, McKenna became the first woman to win the Academy of Country Music’s Songwriter of the Year award and the first woman to win the Country Music Association’s Song of the Year award two years in a row. She also won back-to-back Grammys for Best Country Song: for “Girl Crush\,” performed by Little Big Town\, in 2016 and “Humble and Kind\,” performed by Tim McGraw\, in 2017. In 2021\, McKenna won her third Best Country Song Grammy for co-writing “Crowded Table\,” performed by the Highwomen\, with Brandi Carlile and Natalie Hemby. In addition to writing songs for a multitude of award-winning artists — including Hunter Hayes\, Faith Hill\, Miranda Lambert\, Little Big Town\, Reba McEntire\, Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood — McKenna also co-wrote “Always Remember Us This Way\,” which was featured in the Oscar-winning 2018 film “A Star Is Born.”

They pass the time recording comedy sketches and fantasizing about making zombie films and moving to Sweden. Nasser\, however\, feels increasingly trapped in this No Man’s Land. With nowhere to escape\, boiling tensions in the camp push Nasser to another reality. Highly experimental filmmaking.\n\nDirector Noaz Deshe works as a director and musician. He composed the soundtrack of Babak Jalali’s FRONTIER BLUES (2009)\, and was the cinematographer of the Tiger winner RADIO DREAMS (2016). His debut feature film WHITE SHADOW (2013) about a young albino person won the Lion of the Future Award at Venice Film Festival and was showcased at Sundance Film Festival.

In addition to his artistic work\, he has worked as a volunteer on sea rescue missions and in refugee camps.\n\nHalaloween Horror Rating: 2/5 Pumpkins \n\nRating explanation: Not very scary\, but eerie\, experimental\, and suspenseful. Purposefully experimental to capture the difficulty of being in a refugee camp. Content warnings: drowning death\, monsters\, zombie references\, refugee camps\, hunger\, and fleeing war.
