Growing up in Houston, Edmonson wrote her first song on a school bus at age nine. The Texas native evolved her signature style in Austin’s local club circuit for several years before touring throughout the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Kat's 2012 release " Way Down Low" was described by The New York Times as “fresh as a spring bouquet,” while 2014's "The Big Picture" confirmed the promise of this vintage yet totally contemporary artist by topping jazz charts. Now Kat is back in Michigan with a new album, "Old Fashioned Gal. Kat says, “I wrote these songs while holed up in my Brooklyn apartment during the winter of 2016. I had a terrible, reoccurring cold that winter and was often laid up in bed. I’d go back and forth from watching 1930s movies on Turner Classic Movies to working on a song. While writing this album, I realized that I was seeing what looked like scenes from a film in my head—a film not yet made. I ultimately sat down and wrote an entire outline for a screenplay—a musical, of course—with this music, the score. I processed a great deal of self-doubt in order to write this hopeful record. 'Old Fashioned Gal' is about believing in yourself even when it seems no one else will.” Brooklyn guitarist-songwriter Matt Munisteri opens.

Michigan songwriter Mike Vial writes songs about love and life's transitions, and his vocal style shows the influence of James Taylor and Ari Hest. But his accomplished guitar playing has a voice of its own, mixing elements of jazz, folk, and rock. Out on the road once more, Mike is taking Mike Gentry along for the ride. Mike started out playing guitar at Dexter High School, worked for years at A&M in Los Angeles, and came home to Michigan. He's appeared at Plymouth Coffee Bean, Black Fire Winery, Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tea Room, Dearborn Brewing, and many other venues. "I pitched to him the idea to tour together this summer like old folk artists did in the 60s!" Vial says. The Mikes will complete a tour of one-night stands with suitcases and guitars in hand, performing as solo artists and ending shows as a duo. Their musical partnership feels fated, since Gentry produced Vial’s latest record, the ambitious "A World That’s Bigger."

Lori McKenna (August 3, 2018 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/52116 52116-12441233@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, August 3, 2018 8:00pm

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

Home and the people who make it have captivated Lori McKenna for years. Over the last three decades, as she became a wife and mother of five, she has also emerged as one of the most respected, prolific singer-songwriters in popular music. Her 2016 release The Bird and the Rifle netted three Grammy nominations, along with Americana Music Association nods––all firsts for McKenna as an artist. Then, she made history: In 2016, she became the first woman ever to win the Country Music Association’s Song of the Year two years in a row thanks to co-writing Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush” and penning Tim McGraw’s no. 1 “Humble and Kind” solo. Both songs also clinched back-to-back Grammy wins for Best Country Song. In 2017, she became the Academy of Country Music’s first female Songwriter of the Year. McKenna’s much-anticipated eleventh studio album, produced by Dave Cobb, takes one of McKenna’s signature themes––family––and builds a tapestry of experiences she has lived and overheard, been told and dreamed up, to create a stunning ode to life’s defining relationships.

The Tartan Terrors are not a band but, in the words of the organizers, "North America’s premiere Celtic Event, featuring the best in music, comedy and dance." Amazed by the blistering chops of a two-time world champion bagpiper, the driving tones of drums from around the world, and a guitar played unlike any you’ve ever heard, standing-room-only audiences come to understand why Dig This magazine declares the Terrors "one act to keep an eye on!" Combine all the music with championship-caliber Highland Dancers and internationally recognized comedic performers, and this Celtic group goes beyond the ordinary. Members of The Tartan Terrors have performed on four different continents; in some of the most prestigious festivals, Highland Games, and theaters in North America, for a U.S. president and Britain's Queen, and on Good Morning America. Experience the phenomenon of the Tartan Terrors and see why Celtic Beat hails them as "the heirs apparent to the mayhem"!

UMMA Pop Up: Progressive Acoustic Music with Warren & Flick (September 8, 2018 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/53765 53765-13459398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, September 8, 2018 2:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

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.

Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

"It’s all rock & roll—no golf!" is how acclaimed singer/songwriter/violinist Amanda Shires describes her electrifying fifth album, To The Sunset. She’s borrowed a lyric from the effervescent track “Break Out the Champagne,” one of ten deftly crafted songs that comprise her powerful new recording. The Texas-born road warrior, new mom, and recently minted MFA in creative writing has mined a range of musical influences to reveal an Amanda Shires many didn’t know existed. “Isn’t it refreshing?” Amanda asks. Indeed. Distorted electric guitars, effects pedals, swirling keys and synths, and rockin’ rhythms certainly suit Shires’ visceral songcraft and lilting soprano. Amanda is renowned for her carefully crafted, evocative songs. Her influences include Leonard Cohen and John Prine, the latter a mentor. Amanda says she also uses songwriting as a way to "get through my own emotional stuff, which is cheaper than a therapist." Kentucky-born songwriter Leah Blevins is special guest.

Fr. James P. Conlon, Pastor, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Ann Arbor, and Rev. Susan Schilperoort, retired Minister, Presbyterian Church USA.

While in New York in 1894, Czech composer Antonín Dvořák composed his cycle of 10 Biblical Songs for voice and piano, set to various verses from the Book of Psalms in the Old Testament. Each song on this celebratory concert will be sung in the original Czech but preceded by an oral English translation of the particular psalm–recited, in turns, by a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi, a Muslim Imam, and a Protestant minister, as well as SMTD Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Freyja Harris.

The concert also celebrates ties between Czech composer Antonín Dvořák and the USA, as he taught for several years at the National Conservatory in New York City, and was the first to advocate for basing a national musical style on Negro Spirituals and Native American music at a time when American composers were looking to Europe for their model. Lastly, the concert also celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Czechoslovakia in 1918.

Prisoner's Song, a critically acclaimed multimedia performance about the experience of the incarcerated in America, will be presented at four different Detroit venues this September, free of charge and open to the general public. University of Michigan's Center for World Performance Studies presents a Performance Talk with Gelsey Bell and Erik Ruin, on Tuesday, Sept. 18th at 6pm. Prisoner's Song is the recipient of a Knight Arts Challenge Grant.

Prisoner’s Song is an hour-long performance comprised of ten chapters based on various primary sources, approached in an array of performance styles. The performance, by New York-based composer Gelsey Bell and Philadelphia-based (and Detroit-raised) visual artist Erik Ruin, uses shadow puppets, projections, and a variety of musical idioms to portray the prison experience. For instance, the 19th-century British folk ballad “Adieu To All Judges and Juries” tells the tale of a woman yearning for her lover who has been forcibly exiled, set to an original arrangement by Bell and illustrated by an intricate paper-cut scroll 10.5 feet in length. In contrast, an inventory of prisoners’ personal possessions from the Eastern State Penitentiary in the 1930s is performed as an abrupt sequence of voices and percussion, with the silhouettes of found objects starkly flickering across the screen.

By drawing on historic ballads, poetry, audio interviews with people who have spent time in prison, and other primary sources, Prisoner's Song allows audiences to encounter the states of mind and heart that prison engenders. The New York Times calls Prisoner’s Song“uncomfortably powerful … evoking the restrictive and impoverished reality of incarceration even as it pays tribute to the resilience, ingenuity and poetry that can transcend it.”

Prisoner's Song is presented free through the contributions of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Carrie Morris Arts Production, the U-M Center for World Performance Studies, the U-M Prison Creative Arts Project, Power House Productions, and through the generosity of many individual donors.

Detroit Performances of Prisoner's Song:
Wednesday, Sept. 19, 7pm | Light Box
Thursday, Sept. 20, 7pm | Cass Corridor Neighborhood Development Corporation Community Center
Friday, Sept. 21, 8pm | Play House
Saturday, Sept. 22, 8pm | Trumbullplex

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Have you ever wondered what makes different styles of music unique? We will explore distinctive musical genres to understand the essence of their style and appeal.

The first meeting will describe what makes music “western”, describing the sonic power of chords. They create anticipation and prediction in any type of western music and you will hear examples drawn from classic folk and popular music. The second session will explore Indonesian golden gong sounds, in which time cycles guide the audience through many layers of sound. The third class will cover Japanese noh drama music, which is characterized by the horizontal drive of drum patterns that equal vertical western chords.

Instructor William Malm is a Professor Emeritus of Music from the University of Michigan. He is the founder of the World Music Program and Director of the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments. This study group for those 50 and above will meet on Fridays, 10-11:30, from September 21 through October 5.

Pre-concert conversation with Judy Bozone, Danielle Gonzalez, and Michael Haithcock at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

Four movements of Mozart’s “magnificent and sublime” Gran Partita recall the work’s premiere in 1784. This timeless classic is contrasted with the premiere of a composition by Judy Bozone, a recent U-M alumna, based on her recollections of living in Thailand. Higdon’s Percussion Concerto exploits the traditions of the classical concerto form infused with her award-winning compositional language. Premiered in Hill Auditorium in 1967, Nelson’s Rocky Point Holiday was an instant classic and has been an audience favorite for more than half a century!

He was named NPR's Top Artist to Watch at SXSW 2017 and has been praised by The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, Noisey, Afropunk, and countless others.

Featuring guest artists Dr. Scott Hyslop & Rev. Kendra Mohn

Events of recent history have clearly demonstrated to us how little we have progressed in the areas of social justice - justice for women, justice For sexual orientation, justice for race and creed are to name but a few of these areas which seem to populate newspaper headlines, television news feeds and social media. The church triumphant cannot remain mute in the face of these societal ills and issues, but must stand strong and with a clear voice proclaim justice for all - justice for all creation. This hymn festival will present a variety of hymns which address these issues with texts written by women poets and authors as well as settings by women composers. It will be our hope to present the best of what these voices have to offer for the edification of all who hear their words and music.

Nam Center Colloquium Series | A Song of Dissent and Democracy: "March for the Beloved" and the Politics of Resistance in South Korea (October 9, 2018 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54421 54421-13583295@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 9, 2018 4:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

In early 1982, a group of writers, labor activists, and musicians gathered at a remote house in the southwestern city of Kwangju. Under the watchful eye of Chun Doo Hwan’s military dictatorship, the group clandestinely performed and recorded “March for the Beloved” (Im ŭl wihan haengjingok), a song to honor the “soul marriage” of late activists Pak Kisun and Yun Sangwǒn. Born in a city that had yet to recover from a brutal massacre of civilians staged by the military state in May of 1980, the song moved vastly beyond its original intent of commemorating those massacred and consoling the bereaved. Over the decades to follow, the song would emerge as the most powerful and widely sung anthem for counter-state movements, often finding itself at the center of much controversy over how to remember the tumultuous 1980s. This paper examines the bizarre twists and turns the song has undergone since its original inception, as occasions for thinking about the culture of protest and the politics of memory that shape the legacies of democratization in South Korea.

Susan Hwang is Assistant Professor of Contemporary Korean Literature and Cultural Studies in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Indiana University. Her current research focuses on the changing relationship between literature and politics from the 1960s to the present in South Korea.

Professor Stein's abstract:

“The pervasive influence of popular dance-songs in early modern Hispanic literature and colonial cultures has long been recognized by literary and musical scholars. Hundreds of plays, stories, and text booklets for vernacular sacred villancicos call for them. Musicologists have focused primarily on analyzing form and genre, finding and listing musical sources, categorizing poetic texts, and generally describing their broad cultural context. 

In this paper, I focus on dance-songs that were incorporated into sacred music performed across the Hispanic dominions, despite their repeated condemnation and prohibition. Their tunes, rhythms, and harmonic patterns (made especially clear to us in solo instrumental settings) were distinct and recognizable to all kinds of listeners. They communicated meaning through their very musical materials, not merely in their sung texts.  

My recent research has uncovered what might be the key to understanding the paradoxical value of these dance-songs to seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century ecclesiastical authorities. Many describe, execute, facilitate or narrate the violation of feminine spaces, womanly precincts, female privacy, and even the female body. My presentation moves from a sacred play by Miguel de Cervantes about a conversion in the Americas to provocative excerpts from sacred villancicos composed in Spain, colonial New Spain (Mexico), and colonial Latin America. The paper will be illustrated with both audio examples and visual evidence presented via slides.”

The talk is part of the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop on "Religion in the Atlantic World."

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

This year's Carrigan Lecture will take place during the Big Ten Academic Alliance Conference for Music Education. The theme of the conference is "Tradition and Innovation in Dialog." Eric Shieh will probe our conception of music education as a singular kind of tradition, and will describe innovative music education communities where several musical or pedagogical traditions are sharing space, often with little precedent. 

Eric Shieh is a founding teacher and curriculum leader at the Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School, “A School for a Sustainable City,” in New York City. As part of his work there, Eric co-led a national two-day site seminar in 2018 for eighty educators and administrators from across the country on the school’s innovative curricular designs. He is also a former policy strategist for the New York City Department of Education and has founded and led music programs in prisons across the U.S.

In addition to his work with schools, Shieh writes and presents regularly on issues related to education policy, social justice, and music curriculum. His recent research can be found in Arts Education Policy Review, Oxford Handbook of Social Justice in Music Education, Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education, and Music Educators Journal. His essays and editorials can be found in The Hechinger Report and The Washington Post. Shieh holds degrees in music education, multicultural theory, and curriculum policy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Teachers College, Columbia University. He is a national associate of the Prison Creative Arts Project.

Part of the Toyota Visiting Professor 30th Anniversary Special Lecture Series

NOTE: Please join us for "Blue Moon Over Memphis" at the Power Center on Friday, October 12, 2018 at 7pm.

In preparation for the English-language Noh performance at the University of Michigan of "Blue Moon Over Memphis" (BMOM), a story based on the legendary Elvis Presley, this talk examines how Noh can be created and performed in languages other than Japanese, what aspects BMOM has maintained or adapted from tradition, and how this version deviates from tradition. This talk posits that English-language Noh has become an entry point into Noh for audiences, and that its composers have created English-language Noh text-music conventions. BMOM reveals the flexibility of the Noh form and how it can accommodate innovative musical elements in English.

Mariko Anno is Associate Professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology. She earned a Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology from Tokyo University of the Arts and a D.M.A. in Flute Performance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research examines Japanese Noh drama in a contemporary transnational context through English-language Noh.
