Warren & Flick explore the nuanced textures of a two-person band. Using both original material and standards from many genres that they have arranged in a personal style, the group finds new depth in the simplicity of the duo. Jacob Warren plays double bass, while Grant Flick plays violin, tenor guitar and mandolin. Currently based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the two met at the 2015 Acoustic Music Seminar (AMS), a program accepting only sixteen young string players from around the world to participate in a week of intense improvisation, composition, and performance training. A part of the Savannah Music Festival in Georgia, AMS is led by multi-instrumentalist Mike Marshall with the help of guitarist Julian Lage.

After discovering their shared musical interests, Jacob and Grant began collaborating as a duo as well as in larger projects including “The Leafless” and “Westbound Situation,” both comprised of former AMS participants. Jacob and Grant attend University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, & Dance, where they spend much of their time arranging, composing and performing together. With Jacob’s classical foundation and Grant’s experience in bluegrass and jazz, their contrasting backgrounds give them a unique and compelling musical narrative.

In the early 1930s, jazz artists like Jack Teagarden, Billie Holiday, Django Reinhardt and Lonnie Johnson graced the stages and ballrooms of America. Ballads, melancholy and blue, and hot tunes, laced with exciting improvisation, told stories of tragedy and joy and provided dancers with rhythm. Ray Kamalay and his Red Hot Peppers are reminiscent of this era. They have wowed audiences at some of the finer venues in North America, including Interlochen and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.

Ann Arbor will feel a little like Vienna as the U-M Life Sciences Orchestra takes the stage of Hill Auditorium for a free concert of works written and arranged by Vienna-based composers. The LSO and music director Chelsea Gallo, will transport their audience to the Austrian capital through works by both Richard and Johann Strauss, and a piece by Johannes Brahms arranged by Arnold Schoenberg. The LSO brings together medical, health and science faculty, staff, students and alumni from across the university.
No tickets are required and donations will be accepted.

The concert will begin with “Macbeth,” one of the first tone poems written by Richard Strauss, evoking the dramatic tale of the Scottish king. Johann Strauss, Jr. – a fellow Viennese but not related to Richard – will be represented on the program with his Kaiser-Walzer, much better known in English as the Emperor Waltz. LSO assistant conductor Régulo Stabilito will conduct.

The concert’s second half features a unique work: Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor, Op. 25, but not the original written in 1861 for violin, viola, cello and piano. Rather, the LSO will play the 1937 arrangement for full orchestra, without piano.

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

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
of the Republic” and more!

Tickets; $10 – adults; $5 - seniors/ students; children under 12 - FREE. Tickets available from band
members, on-line at https://mkt.com/aacb, at the Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO) or the Hill
Auditorium box office beginning at 1:00 pm, Sunday, March 10.

The Living Earth Show: Tremble Staves Workshop Performance (March 14, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61418 61418-15099330@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2019 6:00pm
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.
