DanceWorks Chicago & Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange (February 20, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59583 59583-14754455@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

The University of Michigan Department of Dance and Center For World Performance Studies, in collaboration with EXCEL and Arts In Color, is proud to present an evening with DanceWorks Chicago and the Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange. These two guest-residencies are overlapping in a night of movement and music improvisation, a DanceWorks Chicago performance, and a panel discussion regarding the topic of creating inclusive spaces in the arts.

DanceWorks Chicago is committed to building a foundation for the individual artistic growth of dancers and choreographers, providing a laboratory from which early career artists propel themselves and the art form to a new level through training, collaboration, mentorship, and performance. Led with integrity by Julie Nakagawa and Brendan P. Behan, DanceWorks Chicago fills a niche in the dance ecosystem investing in and shining a spotlight on the individual artists. Welcoming the public to engage with the DanceWorks family to build context around the work of art is both our pleasure and our duty as a good dance citizen.

The Anishnaabe Theatre Exchange is a collaborative project using theatre to activate networks with Native communities in the Great Lakes region, and involves University of Michigan students, faculty and staff with the Cultural Department of the Chippewa Sault Ste. Marie Tribe, Lake Superior State University and Bay Mills community members.

Organized By: Department of American Culture

A “uniquely Angeleno mishmash of punk, hip-hop, beat music, cumbia, and rock…live, they’re magnetic” (Los Angeles Times). Las Cafeteras create a vibrant musical fusion with a unique East LA sound and positive message, a mix-and-match of styles and sources that deliver socially conscious lyrics in both English and Spanish. Their wildly vibrant Afro-Mexican beats, rhythms, and rhymes document stories of a community looking for love and fighting for justice in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo (February 20, 2019 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58005 58005-14390318@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 20, 2019 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

Ladysmith Black Mambazo recently celebrated more than 50 years of joyous and uplifting music. Within this music are the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions. The group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya), which developed in the mines of South Africa, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Assembled in the early 1960s in South Africa by Joseph Shabalala, then a young farm boy turned factory worker, the group took the name Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown, about three hours west of Durban and three hours east of Johannesburg; Black being a reference to the oxen, the strongest of all farm animals; and Mambazo being the Zulu word for chopping axe, a symbol of the group’s ability to "chop down" any singing rival who might challenge them. A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract—the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than 50 recordings (including Paul Simon's "Graceland") and has earned three Grammy awards

Verrett was a James Earl Jones Distinguished University Professor of Voice at the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance, as well as an internationally acclaimed opera singer who was one of the pioneering leaders in the generation of black opera singers. She performed more than 40 roles all over the world during the course of her four-decade career.

Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange artists will be in residence at the University of Michigan campus from February 16-23, 2019, culminating in two performances of the new play by Carolyn Dunn, Three Sisters. The Anishinaabe Theatre Exchange uses theatre to activate networks with Native communities in the Great Lakes region. The group is a consortium of people from various backgrounds working to promote dialogue about Indigenous culture and issues.

In this brand new tragicomedy by Carolyn Dunn, three sisters, long estranged from family, community, and one another, return home to the Tunica-Biloxi Reservation lands in Louisiana at the behest of their dying aunt as she makes preparations for her final journey home. Family tensions, simmering secrets, death and grieving all intersect with the loss of tradition, culture, spiritual formation, and love. Poet, playwright, and scholar Carolyn Dunn was born in Southern California and is of Cherokee, Muscogee Creek, Seminole, Cajun, French Creole, and Tunica-Biloxi descent. Her scholarly work focuses on American Indian women’s literature and American Indian identity, and her play The Frybread Queen was produced by the Montana Repertory Theater in Missoula, Montana, and Native Voices at the Autry in Los Angeles. Her collections of poetry include Outfoxing Coyote (2001) and Echolocation: Poems and Stories from Indian Country L.A. (2013).

A dramatic comedy by Caryl Churchill
Department of Theatre & Drama
Directed by Gillian Eaton

Love and Information features 57 short, hilarious, and poignant vignettes with over 100 unnamed characters trying to communicate with each other in today’s world of shortened attention spans and vast societal sharing. Spouses, friends, siblings, and colleagues are dramatized in the middle of conversations as they deal with endless streams of data that can possibly alter relationships. They interrupt. They finish each other’s thoughts. They think they have finished each other’s thoughts. With so much sharing, when does TMI really become TMI? How do we love in a world with so much information? This is a play about individuals trying to connect with and understand one another.

Written in 2012, Love and Information distills the societal forces shaping our lives. Considered one of Great Britain’s greatest living playwrights, Caryl Churchill is well known for her provocative and relevant plays that are remarkably varied in both structure and topic. Her best-known works, Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Serious Money, Far Away, and A Number, combine a darkly funny imagination with a strong political viewpoint. “Leave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span. (The New York Times.)

The Celtic-influenced Michigan roots music of Detroit native Kitty Donohoe has been praised in Sing Out! for its "intelligent, literate songwriting infused with an inherent optimism." Over the years Kitty has opened for a variety of artists, from Doc Watson to David Bromberg, from Bruce Cockburn to Cheryl Wheeler—and in 2008 she and sideman David Mosher took the stage at an Obama rally just before Bruce Springsteen. Her song "There Are No Words," written on September 11, 2001, has been performed by numerous other songwriters and has taken on a life of its own. Rich Warren of WFMT radio in Chicago has included Kitty on his list of the 50 most significant songwriters in the last 50 years. She has some great seasonal songs like "The Michigan Waltz" that may be making an appearance on tonight's show.

Maybe you heard Jared Deck doing a wonderful set at the Ark stage during the 2018 Ann Arbor Art Fair—now he's back for a full evening of his remarkable music, with a new album in tow. Jared takes life one fight at a time. "The battle has always been internal, overcoming my own failures and working to improve," he says. Raised on the dusty plains of an Oklahoma family farm, Jared worked in the fields as well as the town grocery, owned by his parents. "In a community of 1,200 people, big dreams seem impossible. We're taught to manage expectations, put our nose down, and get to work." Later he worked in an oilfield and a factory. During the Great Recession he got by with a job as a pianist in a black church, where over the next six years, he received an unparalleled musical education. Now, with his self-titled debut album, Jared tells stories in an honest voice of midland America. His song "The American Dream" won first place in the annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Competition, and he comes to Michigan with a brand new release, "Bully Pulpit."

This show is free at the door for Ark members at the Solo level and above.

A dramatic comedy by Caryl Churchill
Department of Theatre & Drama
Directed by Gillian Eaton

Love and Information features 57 short, hilarious, and poignant vignettes with over 100 unnamed characters trying to communicate with each other in today’s world of shortened attention spans and vast societal sharing. Spouses, friends, siblings, and colleagues are dramatized in the middle of conversations as they deal with endless streams of data that can possibly alter relationships. They interrupt. They finish each other’s thoughts. They think they have finished each other’s thoughts. With so much sharing, when does TMI really become TMI? How do we love in a world with so much information? This is a play about individuals trying to connect with and understand one another.

Written in 2012, Love and Information distills the societal forces shaping our lives. Considered one of Great Britain’s greatest living playwrights, Caryl Churchill is well known for her provocative and relevant plays that are remarkably varied in both structure and topic. Her best-known works, Cloud Nine, Top Girls, Serious Money, Far Away, and A Number, combine a darkly funny imagination with a strong political viewpoint. “Leave it to Ms. Churchill to come up with a work that so ingeniously and exhaustively mirrors our age of the splintered attention span. (The New York Times.)

An Academy of Early Music–Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments Partnership Event.

During the autocratic reign of Louis XIV, music did not only serve as entertainment, but also as an important form of political messaging, often between warring factions within his own court. In this lecture, members of Les Bostonades will examine the cantatas of Montéclair and Gervais as well as Couperin’s Les Goûts-réunis, how these composers presented controversial material to a dangerous audience, and the subtle political messaging they employed.

The period-instrument ensemble Les Bostonades has been sharing chamber music with Boston area audiences since its founding in 2005. The ensemble features Baroque music specialists who have studied and performed all over the world, who collaborate in Boston’s vibrant early music scene, bringing spirited and polished performances to their listeners. The ensemble’s performances have been described as “the most engaging chamber music playing…[a] generous, voluptuous sound…well delineated, [and with] a poignancy of emotion.”

The ensemble has developed under the direction of Akiko Sato, an acclaimed harpsichordist and continuo player with a unique cultural background. Ms. Sato’s early training in Japan, and further study in the U.S. and Montreal, have given her unique cultural perspective, along with exposure to French language and culture. Akiko’s passion for French language and Baroque music led her to early music study at McGill University in Montreal, where she focused on studying music of the French clavecin school and Baroque stage works. This work has shaped Les Bostonades’ programming, which over the years, has featured lesser-known French Baroque composer such as Boismortier, Guillemain, Stuck, Mondonville, Colin de Blamont, Courbois, and Senallie (along with Rameau, Couperin, and Marais, and the great composers of the Italian, and German Baroque traditions).

The SMTD Faculty and Staff Allies Network (FASAN) is a collection of volunteer leaders dedicated to fostering a nurturing, respectful, and safe SMTD community, free from sexual misconduct, harassment, and gender bias. Distinct from a policy body or counseling effort, FASAN works collaboratively with the SMTD community to deepen our collective understanding of issues surrounding sexual misconduct, especially the power dynamics that can lead to abuse and a culture of silence. It strives to create a climate of open communication, awareness, and responsiveness through community education events. FASAN volunteers commit to attending additional training, particularly about U-M policies and support resources, so that they can serve as informed consultants to their faculty and staff peers. Network members seek to create an ever more positive learning atmosphere at SMTD and to improve the professional climate of the performing arts field as a whole.

One of the best live acts to come out of Ireland in recent years is the multi-awarded winning We Banjo 3. With a seven-time all-Ireland banjo champ, a four-time banjo champ, another member who is an all-Ireland champ on both fiddle and bodhran, and with a passionate lead vocalist like a young Springsteen adopted by the Chieftains (yes, they're a quartet, but there are three banjos), the result is unforgettable. On both sides of the Atlantic the word is out about this group! WB3 performed at the “Friends of Ireland” luncheon on Capitol Hill attended by House Speaker Paul Ryan, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, and has headlined virtually every major U.S .Celtic fest for several years in a row. With a strong bluegrass influence (they call their music "Celtgrass"), the band is rapidly gaining favor in the worlds of bluegrass and Americana as well, as evidenced by their invites to Merlefest, ROMP Fest, Sisters Folk Fest, Old Settlers Fest, Four Corners Fest, and more! They come to Michigan with a new release, "Haven."

Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Runyonland Productions

The iconic 1981 musical by legendary composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim is being boldly brought to life through a staged concert production in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Merrily We Roll Along moves backwards in time, exploring the life of three friends from their disenchanted adulthood to the bright-eyed optimism of their youth, exploring all the choices they made along the way. The production will feature a full 15-piece orchestra sharing the stage with the actors.

Director Megumi Nakamura, a Senior in the renowned University of Michigan Musical Theatre Department, is thrilled to be taking on the challenging musical, saying,

“For any student or enthusiast of musical theater, getting to work on a musical written by Stephen Sondheim is both a daunting and exhilarating experience. The music and story of this play are beautiful and widely relatable, but because of what some label as a challenging script, the show is seldom produced. Consequently, getting the opportunity to direct this show with some of the best young musical theater actors and designers in the country is an enormously thrilling and unique opportunity.”

Loudon Wainwright III, or LW3 for short, is a cherished icon of American folk music, a darkly witty and touchingly personal songwriter and storyteller. He started out in the folk clubs of New York and Boston before going on to a long career that's encompassed both music and acting. He has given birth to over 20 albums (as well as fathering some very successful musical offspring), written folk classics including "Dead Skunk" and "The Man Who Couldn't Cry," and created music for film and theater. Loudon comes to Michigan with a new compilation, "Years in the Making," which includes new music, and new songs for a film produced by Judd Apatow, "Surviving Twin."

A lot of people know Matt Nathanson for his 2007 hit "Come On Get Higher," but his career has only kept growing since then. The year 2018 saw two albums from Matt, a collection of Def Leppard covers and the all-original "Sings His Sad Heart." He comes to The Ark with acoustic arrangements of the songs "Sings His Sad Heart," and it's not so common to hear him in a club The Ark's size. It's all to the good, because Matt has a unique sense of humor on stage that can get lost in larger venues.

This show is sold out. Songwriter Blu Sanders opens

After celebrating their 40th anniversary with the live album "Disconnected in New York City," Los Lobos return with "Gates of Gold," their first studio album since 2010's "Tin Can Trust." "We're a Mexican American band, and no word describes America like immigrant," says Los Lobos wordsmith Louie Perez, describing the new release. "So it's perhaps natural that the songs we create celebrate America in this way." It's been a long time since Los Lobos have played Ann Arbor, and this is a rare concert opportunity indeed.

After celebrating their 40th anniversary with the live album "Disconnected in New York City," Los Lobos return with "Gates of Gold," their first studio album since 2010's "Tin Can Trust." "We're a Mexican American band, and no word describes America like immigrant," says Los Lobos wordsmith Louie Perez, describing the new release. "So it's perhaps natural that the songs we create celebrate America in this way." It's been a long time since Los Lobos have played Ann Arbor, and this is a rare concert opportunity indeed.

They have sold out hundreds of shows, in Ireland and the U.S., made numerous TV appearances, and achieved platinum status twice. The High Kings showcase their incredible versatility and skills as multi-instrumentalists, playing 13 instruments between them bringing a rousing acoustic flavour to brand-new songs as well as some old favorites. The High Kings are continuing to live up to their reputation as a phenomenal live band, serving up laughter, good times, and even the odd sing-along. They recently released a new album, "Decade."

The Earls of Leicester are Barry Bales (bass), Shawn Camp (guitar), Charlie Cushman (banjo), Jerry Douglas (Dobro), Johnny Warren (fiddle), and Jeff White (mandolin). When the Earls of Leicester (leave out the same letters you'd leave out in "Worcester") formed in 2013, their mission was ambitious but exact: to preserve and promote the legacy of bluegrass legends Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, in hopes of reviving the duo’s music for longtime admirers and introducing a new generation to their genre-defining sound. Within a year of releasing their self-titled debut, the Nashville-based six-piece far surpassed their own expectations, winning a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album and earning six awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association. They come to Michigan with a new live album that's further testimony to the pure joy and supreme musicianship that propel their every performance

They call her Long Tall Marcia Ball, and she's one of a kind! Marcia Ball grew up in Vinton, Louisiana, in the heart of an area overflowing with blues, zydeco, and swamp rock. All the female members of her family played the piano. In 1970 Marcia and her first husband were heading for San Francisco, but their car broke down in Austin, and that's where she stayed. She put together a trio of talents: piano playing, songwriting, and vocals. In 1983 Marcia released her first solo album, "Soulful Dress," and ever since then she's been letting the good times roll at The Ark and other clubs around the country where a corps of devoted fans has watched her evolved into a true legend of the piano blues. Marcia has won nine Blues Music Awards, and she was recently inducted into the Gulf Coast Music Hall of Fame. Come check out music from Marcia's fabulous recent album "Shine Bright"!

After a dozen acclaimed albums, virtuoso slide guitarist and bandleader Sonny Landreth has released "Recorded Live in Lafayette," capturing the one-of-a-kind live Sonny experience. Sonny Landreth has collaborated with the very top names in guitar over the years: Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson, Derek Trucks—the list goes on. The noted slideman cut his musical teeth in The Red Hot Louisiana Band of zydeco king Clifton Chenier, and he has since recorded and toured with artists ranging from John Mayall to John Hiatt. "Recorded Live in Lafayette" adds another major chapter to his tale, as new vocal and instrumental colors emerge

It's hard to believe, because each show is fresh and new, but the RFD Boys have been delighting Michigan audiences since 1969 with their fabulous musicianship and sly, exquisitely timed between-song humor. They're legends of Michigan bluegrass, but they're more than that too. With an appearance on the cover of Bluegrass Unlimited, with songs recorded by the likes of the Country Gentlemen, and with performances alongside bluegrass greats like Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley, the RFD Boys are a part of America's bluegrass tradition. The RFD Boys one of southeastern Michigan's most durable musical ensembles, and their shows capture a deep slice of musical Ann Arbor. Their 50th-anniversary appearance at the Folk Festival was a special moment and introduced many listeners to Dan Roehrig, who joined the band on guitar, mandolin, and bass in mid-2018. If you missed the Folk Fest, come by and say hello. Dan grew up listening to Doc Watson, Clarence White, and Tony Rice, and you can hear it in both his singing and guitar playing.

40 years ago Victor Bordo, Dave Juillet and associates established a fledgling organization called the Ann Arbor Symphony Band. The band was born out the desire of many local, non-professional, adult musicians to continue playing, to provide public performances with broad audience appeal, to foster interest in amateur music performances and provide continuing music education to its members and the public. The Ann Arbor Concert Band is a non-profit 501(c)(3) community-based ensemble of 75 members, presenting 4 concerts per year and extremely proud of our contribution to the Ann Arbor Arts Community. Past conductors include Victor Bordo, H. Robert Reynolds, Scott Boerma, John Stout and William D. Revelli. Current conductor, James Nissen, is in his 16th year. The Ann Arbor Concert Band annually awards our $1000 Andrew J. Lum & David R. Juillet Young Artist Scholarship to an outstanding high school musician in southeast Michigan who solos with the band during our May season finale concert. .

The Ann Arbor Concert Band welcomes the men’s choral society Measure for Measure as they
continue their 40th season celebration in wondrous fashion under the direction of James Nissen,
presenting “Festive Winds and Voices” featuring Shostakovich’s brilliant “Festive Overture”,
Bernstein’s “3 Dance Episodes from On the Town”, Eric Whitacre’s “Cloudburst”, the “Finale from
Symphony No. 1” by Kalinnikov, John William’s “Hymn to the Fallen” and the dynamic “Battle Hymn

o the cabaret

Founded in 1992 as a small chamber group devoted to a cappella singing, the Vocal Arts has solidified its reputation as one of the premier chamber ensembles in the region, performing several concerts each season. VAE performs with a core group of about 24 and presents a highly varied repertoire, from Josquin Desprez to William Bolcom and beyond into popular song. Each year, The Vocal Arts Ensemble returns to The Ark for an annual cabaret-style show, We return to the Ark for our annual cabaret, this time featuring numbers about numbers—songs that mention numerals. A great mix of standards, less familiar gems and fresh arrangements—as well as food and good cheer— make this a not-to-be-missed event.

Rodney Crowell is one of country music's most successful songwriters, but the deadly seriousness in his music was always there for those with ears to hear. "Dad drove a stock car to an early death/All I remember was a drunk man's breath," sang Waylon Jennings as he took Crowell's "Ain't Living Long Like This" to the top of the charts. Since the turn of the millennium, Crowell has been on a roll, releasing personal, ambitious albums to wide critical acclaim. With his autobiographical masterpiece "The Houston Kid," he took an unflinching look at his own down-and-out upbringing, and he comes to The Ark with a new album, "Close Ties," that flows from the same sources and has been nominated for an Americana Music Association Album of the Year award.

Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

In March 2019, composer and visual artist Raven Chacon and The Living Earth Show will travel to University of Michigan to workshop their new piece Tremble Staves: a wordless water opera synthesizing mixed media installation, manipulation of natural and artificial light and sound, and theatrical performance depicting the urgent but approaching crisis of water shortage burdening the region from California to the Navajo deserts. The full piece will be premiered in June 2019 in the flooded ruins of Sutro Baths, an early 20th century outdoor pool complex whose concrete remains are now a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This "workshop performance" in Ann Arbor, taking place in the lush setting of hte Matthaei Botanical Gardens Conservatory, will feature one movement of Tremble Staves and will feature members of the U-M Percussion Ensemble.

Chacon’s opera connects narratives of the San Francisco Bay Area’s relationship with water to overlapping Navajo creation stories in which water figures prominently. The work will be performed, from memory, by the virtuosic musicians of The Living Earth Show, utilizing amplified antlers, tape reels, effected guitars, and water as a dynamic percussion instrument. With this palette, Chacon combines electro-acoustic noises, traditional Navajo music, field recordings, and extended techniques rooted in the musical lineage of classical chamber music to craft a vital sonic and visual landscape.

The opera presents the sacred element of water as a struck, manipulated, and amplified instrument–in reverence while simultaneously creating a sonic violence representative of continuing scarcity of this natural resource. The audience joins the performers in the environment, turning a public space into a sonic ecosystem in which all participants are surrounded by the element discussed and interrogated by the music. The intention is immersion; the opera immerses a congregation of audience members anchored in a pond of resonance; communally engaging in the work yet aware of their own complicity in the draining of the water.

Each unique iteration of the piece will last approximately 15 minutes, starting at 6:00pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm, with an Artist Q&A from 7:00-7:30pm. Attendees are invited to explore the conservatory during and between performances.

There will be limited seating available on a first come, first serve basis. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

UMS Pre-Performance Talk: Triptych (the eyes of one on another): Richard Meyer on the Legacy of Robert Mapplethorpe (March 15, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60275 60275-14857772@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 15, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

How has Robert Mapplethorpe's legacy evolved in the thirty years since his death from AIDS in 1989? How did the NEA funding controversy and charges of indecency surrounding his posthumous exhibition The Perfect Moment shape the way his work has been remembered? How have contemporary artists been influenced by, and commented on, his large and varied body of work? In conjunction with UMS's world premiere of Triptych (the eyes of one on another), a new music theatre work about Mapplethorpe's life and work, noted art historian Richard Meyer will unpack Mapplethorpe's complicated afterlife in the public imagination. 

Richard Meyer, Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor in Art History at Stanford University, teaches courses in twentieth-century American art, the history of photography, arts censorship and the first amendment, curatorial practice, and gender and sexuality studies. His first book, Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century American Art, was awarded the Charles C. Eldredge Prize for Outstanding Scholarship from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 2013, he published What Was Contemporary Art?, a study of the idea of "the contemporary" in early twentieth-century American art, and, with Catherine Lord, Art and Queer Culture, a survey focusing on the dialogue between visual art and non-normative sexualities from 1885 to the present. 

This program is organized by UMS and co-sponsored by UMMA.

1995, Athens, Ohio.
Agnes, a high school teacher, has found a D&D module (campaign guide) written by her teenage sister, Tilly, who has recently died in a car crash. She finds Chuck, a high schooler working at an RPG game store, and asks him to help her understand the module and play out the campaign. Initially taken aback by the complexity and “nerdiness” of the game, she uses it as a way of understanding her sister. As the play progresses, each character within the game is revealed to have a real-world counterpart, all of whom Agnes gets to meet. The play takes place both in the real world and within the D&D campaign.

Notes on Territory, a performance lecture on the history of containment architecture and embodied freedom practices. Territory is a movement-journey from Gothic cathedrals to slave dungeons to modern prisons to public housing and uses technologies such as the cross, the dome, the siteplan, and the chalk outline as temporal guideposts.

Anna Martine Whitehead is a Chicago-based artist who uses movement and language to practice escaping planet Earth. Her work has been presented at venues across North America and Europe, including Velocity Dance Center, Watts Towers Art Center, Chicago Cultural Center, AUNTS, Pieter, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, homeLA, CounterPulse, and the Hemispheric Institute for Performance and Politics. She develops her craft by working in close collaboration with Onye Ozuzu, Jefferson Pinder, taisha paggett, Thomas Teurlai, Every house has a door, Keith Hennessy, BodyCartography Project, Julien Prévieux, Jesse Hewit, and the Prison + Neighborhood Art Project, among others. Whitehead has written about blackness, queerness, and bodies in action for Art21 Magazine, C Magazine, Frieze, and Art Practical and contributed chapters to a range of publications, most recently Meanings and Makings of Queer Dance (Oxford, 2017).

Presented by Daring Dances with additional support from University of Michigan partners, including the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance (SMTD); the Institute for the Humanities; SMTD Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and the Department of Women Studies; and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

Over the last decade, Pokey LaFarge has won the hearts of music lovers across the globe with his creative mix of early jazz, string ragtime, country blues and western swing, all while writing songs that ring true n both spirit and sound. His music transcends the confines of genre, continually challenging the notion that tradition-bearers fail to push musical boundaries. Cleverly striding among numerous forms of traditional American music, Pokey has crafted a genre all his own, marked by its accessible ingenuity. Rather than merely conjuring up half-forgotten imagery of days past, Pokey is a lyrical storyteller, the plot delivered smoothly through his dynamic vocals. One moment he shouts a line and the next he croons above his archtop guitar. He transmits a rare distillation of old American sounds! Based in St. Louis, Missouri, Pokey honors the musical traditions of that town without aping them. He's an Ark favorite, heard most recently at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

Scott Piper, soloist

Pre-concert conversation with Erik Santos and Michael Haithcock at 7:15 in the lower lobby.

Familiar works by Richard Wagner and Aaron Copland frame others that illustrate depictions of “fire and ice.” Ida Gotkovsky’s Poem of Fire explores the mythology that links creation and creator through the reverence of fire. John Mackey’s musical portrait of Denali National Park, The Frozen Cathedral, depicts a pilgrimage embracing the grandeur of its natural beauty. The premiere performance of The Seer by U-M’s Erik Santos features faculty tenor Scott Piper. The work is a dramatic scene based on the poetry of Langston Hughes whose words evoke an emotional “fire and ice.”

PROGRAM: Copland- Fanfare for the Common Man; Erik Santos-The Seer, a dramatic scene based on the poetry of Langston Hughes, Scott Piper, tenor and actor; Wagner- Huldigungsmarsch; Ida Gotkovsky- Poem of Fire; John Mackey- The Frozen Cathedral

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 10, 2018 – Acoustic Routes Concerts announced today that country music legend, five-time Grammy® winner and Grand Ole Opry member Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives will take the stage at The Ark – Ann Arbor’s world-renowned folk music club – on March 16, 2019 to raise money to feed the hungry.

The concert is the 10th annual benefit at The Ark for the Breakfast at St. Andrew’s in Ann Arbor, which is hosted by St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Every day since the fall of 1982, volunteers have gathered there to serve a free meal to anyone in need, sometimes as many as 165 each day. Many guests are homeless. Others are working but struggling to make ends meet. Everyone is welcome. All concert profits will be used to purchase, food supplies and offset expenses, such as cleaning, heating and maintenance.

Rolling Stone magazine calls Marty Stuart one of the top country music artists of all time: “A musician’s musician, Stuart logged more than a decade as a sideman for the titans of twang – including Johnny Cash, Doc Watson and Lester Flatt – before launching his solo career...building his fanbase not only on the strength of his voice, but his hotshot guitar playing, too.”

NPR praised his latest album “Way Out West,” calling it a “journey through the Joshua trees, shadowy canyons and desert drams that tantalize travelers with the promise of a golden shore on the other side.”

Opening for Marty Stuart is Bloodshot Records artist Luke Winslow-King. A Cadillac, Mich., native steeped in the musical cauldron of New Orleans, Winslow-King is adept at mixing country, blues, R&B, rock ‘n’ roll and folk intuitively and masterfully. He shapes a mood from many sources and shepherds it to a unifying place of acceptance and hope.

The emcee for the evening is Lisa Tucker-Gray, the rector of Toledo’s Trinity Episcopal Church, an accomplished singer and the daughter of the Rev. Svea Gray, who was director of the Breakfast Program for more than 30 years. She will also perform with multi-instrumentalist Curt Waugh

Acoustic Routes Concerts has produced nine benefit concerts for the Breakfast Program at The Ark since 2010, with cumulative profits closing in on $100,000.

“The Breakfast started as way to help people get through a deep recession more than 30 years ago, but the need never went away,” said Jim Cain of Saline, founder of Acoustic Routes Concerts. “It’s staggering how many people don’t have enough to eat day in and day out.”

Ann Arbor-based food rescue agency Food Gatherers said hunger is a pervasive problem in Washtenaw County. More than one in seven people lack access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life.

“Some of the Breakfast volunteers have been there since the program’s earliest days. For others, it’s their first community service experience,” Cain added. “Volunteering creates a unique bond and I can’t thank Marty, Luke, Lisa and our sponsors enough for supporting our work.”

Igor Stravinsky is celebrated as one of the most influential composers of all time and a trio of his ballets (Firebird, Petrouchka, Rite of Spring) changed the course of music in the twentieth century. Between these musical monuments, he tinkered with his compositional process in delightfully experimental chamber works. Professor of bassoon Jeffrey Lyman and 20 of his SMTD colleagues offer a program of these miniature masterpieces for voices and instruments from one, two, four, up to eight players. From early works like the Three Pieces for Clarinet and the Three Pieces for String Quartet through his very last composition The Owl & the Pussycat, you'll get a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of Stravinsky's creative process.

Performers include Danielle Belen and Matt Albert, violin; Joachim Angster, viola; Leo Singer, cello; Amy I-Lin Cheng, Christian Mattias Mecca, Kathryn Goodson, piano; Amy Porter, flute; William King, Garret Jones, Elisha Willinger, clarinet; Jeffrey Lyman, Maddy Wildman, bassoon; Amanda Ross, Michelle Riechers, trumpet; David Jackson, Christopher Hernacki, trombone; Carmen Pelton, Elise Eden, soprano; Freda Herseth, contralto; and Stephen West, baritone.

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

The Rough & Tumble are as easy to detect as a stray dog on your doorstep—and as difficult to send home. The dumpster-folk, thriftstore-Americana duo, consisting of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler, have been circulating around the country in their 16’ camper since 2015. They picked up a couple of actual strays along the way—two 100-lb. dogs, Puddle & Magpie Mae—and have been making themselves at home in living rooms, bars, theaters, and festivals across the country. The Rough & Tumble are collectors ... a new kind of collector: songwriting with illustration, and arranging each song with a menagerie of instruments, ranging from acoustic guitars to mailbox snares to a banjulele.

The Lucky Nows play dynamic, high-energy Americana folk-rock with echoes of Isbell and Isakov and a bluesy center. Their music draws from every genre, delivering a wide range of lyric-driven originals with intricate arrangements and gorgeous harmonies. If Steve Earle had a love-child with Lucinda Williams, and that child was raised by Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault, and frequently visited by Shovels & Rope and the ghost of Townes Van Zandt, their debut CD would sound eerily similar to The Lucky Nows' "Rise." The Lucky Nows feature Detroiter Jen Cass on vocals.

This year's Open Stage Showcase features Seraphina Provenzano and Marco Bruschtein. Says Open Stage MC, Michael Shelata of this year’s performers: “Seraphina’s music is fresh, exciting and her lyrics draw the listener in to a story or feeling that leaves us laughing, happy and having a different perspective on a topic. Marco’s music, whether it’s an instrumental or with lyrics, is fun, energetic and you will see how he’s mastered the fingering on the frets. It’s dazzling.”

Molly Tuttle, says Paul Zollo of American Songwriter, "sings with the gentle authority of Gillian Welch, yet plays astoundingly fleet flat-picking guitar like Chet Atkins on superdrive." The first woman ever to win the International Bluegrass Music Association's Guitar Player of the Year award, Molly has been the talk of bluegrass circles of the past year and is rapidly gaining fans from all the spheres of the roots music universe as well. On her debut solo EP Rise, Molly reveals the rich new ground she’s discovered. Produced by Kai Welch (Abigail Washburn, Bobby Bare, Jr., the Greencards), the seven-song collection relies on a rock-solid bluegrass foundation as Molly breaks free without breaking ties, singing and exploring what her six-string acoustic guitar can do. A rising star if there ever was one!

Lifelong friends and Northern Michigan natives, the Michigan Rattlers play "heavy-hearted folk-rock with an aching dose of Midwestern nice." Graham Young (guitar), Adam Reed (upright bass), and Christian Wilder (piano) began writing music and performing together in their Petoskey high school. "Petoskey is a small place. Beautiful, but secluded. It’s hard to start a musical career in a place where there are more deer than people," they say. Still, they regularly played every bar, cafe, and stage in town, developing a musical chemistry informed by the likes of AC/DC, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Seger, and more. Their debut EP, recorded in Los Angeles, attracted glowing reviews from No Depression, Bluegrass Situation, B3 Science, and Rolling Stone, who compared them to "Whiskeytown-era Ryan Adams, early Wilco, the acoustic side of Rhett Miller, and the Old 97s." Local audiences got a taste of Michigan Rattlers on the Friday night Ann Arbor Folk Festival bill, and we're betting you'll be back for their full sho

Gemini is the much-loved duo of Sandor and Laszlo Slomovits. They've been performing since 1973 and are now playing music for the third—or is it fourth?—generation of young fans and families. They write and perform acoustic music for children and families, celebrating with their audiences the warmth, fun, and joy of family life. A Gemini concert is a kinetic event, filled with rousing singalongs, hand motion tunes, folk tales, and music from around the world. "If the Pied Piper had been twins, chances are he would have been Gemini," says the Detroit News. Since 1979 San and Laz have released numerous recordings for adults and children and families. These recordings have won a number of awards including ones from Parents' Choice Magazine, the American Library Association, the National Parenting Publications (NAPPA), and the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.

Channing & Quinn are an indie folk duo who craft music that blends quirky with creepy, and theatrics with sincerity. In a live setting the two do the work of several musicians by playing guitar, ukulele, accordion, drums, glockenspiel, banjo, looping vocals and even tap dancing all at the same time! (OK, some at the same time.) Their past tours have included one traveling entirely by Amtrak Trains, and most recently a seven-month-long national tour pulling and living in an Airstream trailer. They are currently based in Grand Rapids after spending nine years in Nashville. Channing & Quinn have opened for Brian Vander Ark, Langhorne Slim, and Enter The Haggis. They have released four full-length albums, including one since we last heard their full show in Ann Arbor. You can also hear their music in film and television, adding to the soundtrack of “More Than Me” starring former SNL cast member Jim Bruer, “3rd Street Blackout” with Ed Weeks and Janeane Garofalo, and more.

Skerryvore first formed on the tiny lsle of Tiree off Scotland’s west coast in 2005. Back then, the band consisted of Tiree-born brothers Daniel Gillespie (accordion) and Martin Gillespie (bagpipes, whistles & accordion) who bonded with holidaymaker Fraser West (drums & vocals) and friend Alec Dalglish (lead vocals & guitar) over a shared love of music: everything from traditional to rock and jazz. It was this mix of musical styles and sounds that set the path for the band’s 2005 debut album, "West Coast Life." The more the fledgling band experimented with fusing together this mix of musical styles, the more their signature sound evolved, with many high-energy rock elements. The group expanded to a sextet and then to an octet, and the release of their self-titled third album saw them catapulted into the musical limelight, winning a string of prestigious awards and critical acclaim. Since then they've toured the globe, appeared in TV commercials promoting Scotland, and unveiled their own tartan. They come to Michigan with a new release, their sixth

Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Latina/o Studies

Tuesday, March 26, 2019

-Arts Workshop (limited capacity): 4:00-5:30pm, American Culture, 3512 Haven Hall
-Artist Talk and Poetry Performance: 6:00-7:00pm. Angell Hall Auditorium D
-Reception: 7:30pm, 3512 Haven Hall. Food will be served.

The Latina/o Studies Program, the Department of American Culture, the Center for Educational Outreach and La Casa invite you to celebrate Chicano labor leader César Chávez’s enduring legacy and the richness of Latinx culture at the University of Michigan. Please join us for a very special arts workshop with visiting artists Jeff Abbey Maldonado and Dulce Santoyo, to be followed by an artist talk featuring Jeff Maldonado and including a Flor y Canto Nahuat Xochitl in Cuitcatl Flower and Song Celebration with local and student poets. Our evening will culminate with a reception in 3512 Haven Hall to celebrate the University Housing donation of Maldonado’s 1998 César Chávez mural to Latina/o Studies and American Culture.

Jeff Abbey Maldonado lives and works in Pilsen, Chicago. He has maintained his studio for the past 20 years. He studied under Mario Castillo, professor at Columbia College, who is credited with painting the first Latino mural in Chicago. Maldonado’s work has been shown nationally and internationally, including at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Chicago Cultural Center, The Field Museum, and the Chicago History Museum. Currently, he is Founder and Director of the J-Def Peace Project, which promotes youth empowerment through the arts. Dulce Santoyo is an emerging Latina artist working in Chicago.

The Chávez mural was donated to American Culture in summer 2018 thanks to the student activism of La Casa. It previously was held by University Housing—a unit of Student Life—and was displayed in the César Chávez Lounge at the Mosher-Jordan “Mo-Jo” Student Residence Hall in the Hill Neighborhood on Observatory, home to the Michigan Research Community and the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program. The mural is an interpretation of the activism of César Chávez, born of Mexican heritage in Yuma, Arizona in 1927. Chávez founded and led the National Farm Worker's Association (NFWA), the first successful farm workers union, later known as United Farm Workers (UFW).

Events are free and open to the public.

A haggis is a tasty Scottish dish consisting of sheep heart, liver, and lungs, mixed with oatmeal, onion, suet, and spices, and then boiled inside the sheep's stomach. The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style, a high-speed collision of Celtic music, rock, bluegrass, funk, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower, more introspective alt pop songs, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with an as-yet-untitled new release!

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The University Symphony Orchestra and University Philharmonia Orchestra join forces to climb the musical mountain which is Mahler’s Sixth Symphony. Mahler wrote the Sixth Symphony during a particularly happy time, yet this monumental work seems to portray a vision of tragic events that soon followed. It juxtaposes some of the composer’s most gripping and beautiful music.

an opera by George Frideric Handel

University Opera Theatre and University Philharmonia Orchestra

The third of Handel’s operas to be based on the epic poem Orlando furioso (with Orlando and Ariodante), Alcina is the story about a beautiful sorceress named Alcina, who lures men to her enchanted island for love only to turn them into objects or animals when she tires of them. Alcina debuted at the Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1735 to great acclaim. Just a few of the exquisite arias are the famous “Tornami a vagheggiar,” “Verdi prati,” and “Ah, mio cor.” Today, the opera is considered to be one of the composer’s greatest. A moving story of love’s fickleness and faithfulness, Alcina features some of Handel’s most alluring music.

Preston returns home one night to Emma. The conversation they have opens up the floodgates of every problem between them; all of the secrets they've kept from one another, everything they are too afraid to say. Preston suggests a solution—a drinking game. The rules of the game dictate that they pour six shots and ask each other honest, essential questions about the nature of their relationship. At any time, if someone wants to kill a topic or doesn't want to answer the question, they take a shot. If they finish all six shots, it means their relationship is beyond saving and they have to break up. Roulette asks us to consider whether human relationships are built on mutual effort or some uncontrollable, cosmic force.

an opera by George Frideric Handel

University Opera Theatre and University Philharmonia Orchestra

The third of Handel’s operas to be based on the epic poem Orlando furioso (with Orlando and Ariodante), Alcina is the story about a beautiful sorceress named Alcina, who lures men to her enchanted island for love only to turn them into objects or animals when she tires of them. Alcina debuted at the Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1735 to great acclaim. Just a few of the exquisite arias are the famous “Tornami a vagheggiar,” “Verdi prati,” and “Ah, mio cor.” Today, the opera is considered to be one of the composer’s greatest. A moving story of love’s fickleness and faithfulness, Alcina features some of Handel’s most alluring music.
