Recent technological advances have ushered artificial intelligence into everyday musical life, from Spotify predicting what songs you like to Google generating customized music with the click of a mouse to Amazon streaming AI-produced music through its virtual assistant Alexa. As AI moves from the research lab into the mass marketplace, debates have shifted from the philosophical to the pragmatic. Expansive questions probing consciousness and creativity have taken a backseat to corporate concerns about efficiency, price points, and scale. Whether AI will surpass the ability of human creativity has become less pressing than whether AI-generated music can be copyright protected. Most notably, to assuage anxieties sounded across the music world, industry leaders have come to embrace collaboration as a model for how AI can enhance, rather than replace, human creativity.

This presentation explores the mechanics and theorizes the challenges of computer-human interactivity through the lens of singer/songwriter Taryn Southern’s I AM AI (2018), billed as the first AI pop album. Co-produced with cutting-edge software developed by AIVA, Amper, Google, and IBM, the album reveals how AI helps to extend, automate, and supplement Southern’s musical abilities while enabling her to maintain claims of artistic agency. Recent writings on virtuality and interactivity, complemented by interviews with AI industry professionals and musicians who use AI, reveal similarly productive tensions involving collaboration, control, credit, and creative independence. Coming to terms with new forms of intelligence challenges us to explore how we characterize, distinguish, and understand musical relationships between human and virtual beings.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

New York City-based new music chamber group loadbang is building a new kind of music for mixed ensemble of trumpet, trombone, bass clarinet, and baritone voice. Since their founding in 2008, they have been praised as ‘cultivated’ by The New Yorker, ‘an extra-cool new music group’ and ‘exhilarating’ by The Baltimore Sun, ‘inventive’ by The New York Times and called a 'formidable new-music force' by TimeOutNY. Creating 'a sonic world unlike any other' (The Boston Musical Intelligencer), their unique lung-powered instrumentation has provoked diverse responses from composers, resulting in a repertoire comprising an inclusive picture of composition today.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Saturday, January 25, Noon-1:30pm
Blue Llama, 314 S. Main St
Free & Open to the Public

Cheikh Lô is one of the great mavericks of African music. A superb singer and songwriter as well as a distinctive guitarist, percussionist and drummer he has personalised and distilled a variety of influences from West and Central Africa, to create a style that is uniquely his own. Incorporating Senegalese mbalax with elements of salsa, Zairian/Congolese rhumba, folk, and jazz, Lô has created an infectious, hook-laden style of pop music. Born in 1955, to Senegalese parents in Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, not far from the border with Mali, where he grew up speaking Bambara (language of Mali), Wolof (language of Senegal) and French. At 21 he started singing and playing percussion with Orchestra Volta Jazz in Bobo Dioulasso, and spent much of the 1980s working as a session musician in both Dakar, Senegal and Paris, France, while also developing his own repertoire. In 1995, Youssou N’Dour helped to produce his second solo record, and signature sound – a semi acoustic, Spanish-tinged take on the popular mbalax style – was an instant success in Senegal, gaining him a dedicated local following and subsequent international success.

Cheikh Lô will also perform two sets at the Blue Llama Jazz Club on Saturday, January 25 (7pm & 9pm). Visit https://www.bluellamaclub.com/event/cheikh-lo for ticket information for these performances.

This Artist Q&A is co-sponsored by Center for World Performance Studies and African Studies Center.

Logan Skelton, piano

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

The University Symphony Orchestra performs dance--inspired music by Gershwin and Rachmaninoff. In Gershwin’s Cuban Overture, originally entitled Rhumba, Cuban percussion instruments and Caribbean rhythms evoke the sounds and atmosphere of Gershwin’s visit to Cuba. With its famous opening clarinet slide, swagger and charm, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue springs from the America of the Roaring Twenties and crosses the tracks between the jazz and popular song of New York’s Tin Pan Alley and the classical realm of Carnegie Hall. U-M faculty member, Logan Skelton, who recently played Gershwin’s Concerto in F with the USO returns as piano soloist. The program continues with Rachmaninoff's virtuosic and colorful Symphonic Dances, a suite of 3 dances which balances Rachmaninoff’s lush melodies, colorful harmonies, and energetic rhythms with Russian church music. It also features one of the most famous and lyrical saxophone solos in the orchestral repertoire. As the last piece he composed for orchestra, Symphonic Dances sums up Rachmaninoff’s style, with its innovation as well as its nostalgia for the Russia of the past.

PROGRAM:
Gershwin - Cuban Overture, Rhapsody in Blue
Rachmaninoff - Symphonic Dances

The Extradition Bill incident led to a wide-reaching social movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only ways through which Hong Kong people expressed their opinions. Promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes also played significant roles in the movement.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Special Event: Tuesday, February 4, 7:00pm / Michigan Theater, 603 E Liberty St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Acclaimed filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (Stranger Than Paradise, Down by Law, and Mystery Train) and multi-instrumentalist Carter Logan perform together as SQÜRL, a self-described “enthusiastically marginal rock band from New York City who like big drums and distorted guitars, cassette recorders, loops, feedback, sad country songs, molten stoner core, chopped and screwed hip-hop.” Logan works with Jarmusch as a producer and composer with credits including The Dead Don’t Die, Only Lovers Left Alive, Paterson, and Broken Flowers.

For this Speaker Series event, they will perform a live score to silent films by Dadaist and Surrealist artist Man Ray in addition to new sonic projects. Using loops, analogue synthesizers, and effected guitars, the duo create a semi-improvised ambient score for four of Man Ray’s dreamlike films. Of the project, Jarmusch says: “Man Ray’s films are very kinetic in the way they move. It’s like a kind of dream logic. Man Ray loves little details of daily life as the Surrealists did. He likes these strange things. A starfish in a jar. Or a scattering of a tailor’s pins” (Metro Times).

Supported by the University of Michigan Library, the Department of Film, Television, and Media, and the Ann Arbor Film Festival.

The Extradition Bill incident led to a wide-reaching social movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only ways through which Hong Kong people expressed their opinions. Promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes also played significant roles in the movement. In this exhibition, we will present these incredible art pieces, exploring their aesthetics and functions.

Creativity, Consciousness and Cognition: Arts-based Integral Distinctions (February 6, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72150 72150-17946487@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 6, 2020 5:30pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

This talk explores distinctions and relationships between consciousness and cognition through the lens of an emergent worldview called Integral Theory (IT), with insights from artistic creativity guiding the inquiry. Drawing widely from disciplines across the sciences and humanities as well as age-old spiritual wisdom, IT posits a remarkably expansive vision of human nature and developmental potential—at the core of which is consciousness development. From an IT vantage point, cognition has to do with the activity of the mind, Put another way, cognition is to consciousness as the wave is to the ocean. Artistic creativity, particularly as it manifests in improvised music, can be seen as a bridge between the two realms and helps illuminate them as part of an overarching wholeness of subjective experience. The arts-consciousness relationship also helps us move past conventional boundaries and labels when it comes to academic disciplines, with longstanding tensions between science and spirituality/mysticism a common, and unnecessary, casualty of such boundaries.

Stone Sound Collective unites diverse musicians and instruments to create a new global soundscape. Led by multi-percussionist Mark Stone, the group brings together celebrated world percussion traditions of Africa and India with the lyricism of cello and saxophone. Stone Sound Collective performs new music drawing on Mark's wide-ranging compositional influences, stretching from American jazz to traditional African music and classical Indian music to European concert music.

Prof. Mark Stone is a composer-performer with a passion for using music to bring diverse communities together. An internationally recognized multi-percussionist, Stone has performed with the foremost musicians of Uganda, Ghana, South Africa, India, Trinidad, Ecuador, and the United States. In the group, Stone plays the newly-invented array mbira, an American-made 120 key lamellaphone and a wide range of traditional melodic African instruments, including the Ghanaian gyil, Ugandan akogo, and South African karimba. He is joined by Matt Dufresne (saxophones, flute, atenteben, and nadaswaram), Abigail Alwin (cello), Chinelo Amen-Ra (djembe, congas, and cajon) and Sam Jeyasingham (mridangam, tabla, kanjira, thavil, and morsing). These established artists freely cross musical boundaries with their dynamic playing and are exceptional improvisers, bringing a wide-range of performance experience and artistry to the Stone Sound Collective.

Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Born in a sandstone Victorian farmhouse that has been in his family since it was built four generations ago, Andrew Brown is the son of a Motown session musician and grew up listening to the sounds of his dad’s piano as he steeped in musical influences from Duke Ellington to Stevie Wonder. As a young man returning from a trip to New Orleans with a newfound interest in Swing music, he co-founded the eclectic Americana group Appleseed Collective, with whom he has toured 150+ dates per year. Traveling all over the continental United States, playing esteemed venues and festivals such as The Ark, Sisters Folk Festival, Wheatland, Cervantes Ballroom, Summercamp Music Festival, Schuba’s, and The Ann Arbor Folk Festival at Hill Auditorium, he cut his teeth as a guitarist, songwriter and band leader. Since slowing down his touring schedule in 2017 he began tirelessly practicing and performing the music of his favorite guitar player: Django Reinhardt. Since then he has studied at various music camps with many of the genres heavy hitting players such as Angelo Debarre, Sebastian Gineaux, and Gonzalo Bergara, and was even invited to back up Denis Chang at one of his concerts. Andrew currently plays throughout Michigan with his own project Djangophonique, his band Appleseed Collective, and his friends' projects Third Coast Gypsy Jazz, and Smoking Dandies. He also teaches guitar, both generally and specifically in the style of Django

Hailed as a “…force of nature” by The Double Reed, bassoonist Christin Schillinger specializes in the accessibility of the avant-garde, aiming to broaden the audience for both new music and bassoon.

Schillinger works closely with living composers who remark on her “natural interpretation” and “perfect musical choices.” Her solo albums, Bassoon Unbounded (2018), Bassoon Transcended (2013) and Bassoon Surrounded (2009), produced for MSR Classics by Swineshead Productions, include world-premiere recordings of new repertoire for bassoon.

To facilitate the demands of 21st-century compositions, Schillinger researches reed-making consistency. Her 2016 book, Bassoon Reed Making (Indiana University Press) details current and historic trends in this field. Schillinger’s groundbreaking research extends to guest lectures and residencies throughout the United States and Europe.

Schillinger is an advocate for diversity in performance and programming. She is a founding member of Limitless Collective, an all-female ensemble featuring works by women, PoC, and the LGBTQ community. She is also the creator and organizer of the fEmpower social media network for bassoonists identifying as female.

Schillinger publishes numerous articles and appears regularly as a performer and lecturer. In addition, Schillinger co-hosted the 2012 International Double Reed Society Annual Conference and inaugural IDRS Teen Camp. 

Schillinger is on faculty at Ithaca College in New York where she performs frequently with New Music and traditional orchestral ensembles. Previously, she has held positions with Miami University, the University of Nevada, and various orchestras throughout the west.

Christin Schillinger holds degrees from Northwestern University (BM), Michigan State University (MM), and Arizona State University (DMA).

Creative media became a form of passive protest and connected people who shared the same emotions during social unrest in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement.

Since June, protests have been ongoing in Hong King, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations, over two million Hongkongers, which is more than a quarter of the population, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement.

After 2/12, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

Acclaimed by The New Yorker as “an American Master,” Composer David Lang is part visionary sound artist, part musical mad scientist.  With one foot in the classical tradition and one in the future, his music explores meaning and musical relationships in a way that is at once fiercely intellectual and plain-spoken.  Join the U-M Chamber Choir, under the direction of Eugene Rogers, for a stunning performance of Lang's Pulitzer-Prize winning work, the little match girl passion. The New York Times describes this touching work as “understated and ethereal… tender and mysterious.” The performance on February 18  will be the opening event of his week-long William Bolcom Guest Residency at the University of Michigan, which will feature performances of his music and other events across campus.    

This program is supported by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund and the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes—Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund.

The symbiotic relationship between cerebral and corporeal intelligence systems - between the brain and the body - is central to how we understand and perform. The growing recognition of this connection has had a profound influence on the development of curriculum, teacher training and research.  The integration of artistic practices into the research process is a key aspect of this development. This presentation looks at two approaches to the use of artistic contemporary research: arts-based and arts practice methods. 
 
Arts-based research draws on a variety of practices including poetry, drawing song-writing, improvisation, composition and performance across all phases of research including data collection, analysis, interpretation and representation (Leavy, 2015). In Arts Practice research, artistic practice is a key method of exploration and forms a substantial part of the submitted evidence around the research inquiry (Nelson, 2013).
 
This presentation discusses strategies for the inclusion of arts-based or arts practice approaches in contemporary research, looking at questions of expertise, ethics, representation, dissemination and appropriateness to the research question. It concludes with a case study of arts-based research that uses singing as a tool of social and cultural integration in an Irish primary school.

Note: This presentation will take place at Rackham Auditorium, 915 Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI.

As one of America’s most performed composers, David Lang has “solidified his standing as an American master,” as The New Yorker puts it. His catalog of work is extensive, and his opera, orchestra, chamber, and solo works are by turns ominous, ethereal, urgent, hypnotic, unsettling, and emotionally direct. In 2008, the New York-based composer was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for the little match girl passion, a score for four voices and a few percussion instruments, played by the singers, based on the children’s story by Hans Christian Andersen. Additionally, Lang’s score for Paolo Sorrentino’s film Youth received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, among others. Other recent work includes man made, a concerto co-commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the BBC Symphony; the loser, an opera based on the novel by Thomas Bernhard, which opened the 2016 Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music; and prisoner of the state, an opera co-commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, De Doelen concert hall in the Netherlands, the Barbican Centre in London, l’Auditori concert hall in Barcelona, the Bochum Symphony Orchestra in Germany, the Concertgebouw in Belgium, and Malmö Opera in Sweden. Lang is co-founder and co-artistic director of Bang on a Can, a New York-based organization dedicated to the support of experimental music.

David Lang’s appearance is courtesy of the William Bolcom Guest Residency at the U-M School of Music, Theater, and Dance.

Penny Stamps Speaker Series Presents: David Lang: Music and Bad Manners (February 20, 2020 5:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72434 72434-18002781@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 20, 2020 5:10pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

As one of America’s most performed composers, David Lang has “solidified his standing as an American master,” as The New Yorker puts it. His catalog of work is extensive, and his opera, orchestra, chamber, and solo works are by turns ominous, ethereal, urgent, hypnotic, unsettling, and emotionally direct. In 2008, the New York-based composer was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for the little match girl passion, a score for four voices and a few percussion instruments, played by the singers, based on the children’s story by Hans Christian Andersen. Additionally, Lang’s score for Paolo Sorrentino’s film Youth received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, among others. Other recent work includes man made, a concerto co-commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the BBC Symphony; the loser, an opera based on the novel by Thomas Bernhard, which opened the 2016 Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music; and prisoner of the state, an opera co-commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, De Doelen concert hall in the Netherlands, the Barbican Centre in London, l’Auditori concert hall in Barcelona, the Bochum Symphony Orchestra in Germany, the Concertgebouw in Belgium, and Malmö Opera in Sweden. Lang is co-founder and co-artistic director of Bang on a Can, a New York-based organization dedicated to the support of experimental music.

David Lang’s appearance is courtesy of the William Bolcom Guest Residency at the U-M School of Music, Theater, and Dance, with additional support from the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

The Role of Creative Media in Hong Kong Protests (February 21, 2020 7:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72963 72963-18107873@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 7:00am
Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Hong Kong Human Rights Concern Group

Creative media became a form of passive protest and connected people who shared the same emotions during social unrest in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement.

Since June, protests have been ongoing in Hong King, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations, over two million Hongkongers, which is more than a quarter of the population, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement.

After 2/12, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

Department of Performing Arts Technology Seminar: Alaa Algargoosh (February 21, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69954 69954-17485140@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 2:30pm
Location: Earl V. Moore Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Alaa Algargoosh has always been fascinated by sound and its relation to shapes. As an architect, she had a special interest in the influence of the architectural design on sound, and this was the driving force behind wanting to study architectural acoustics. Her previous work includes designing innovative sound diffusers inspired by the cymatics phenomenon in which she explored some of the physical aspects of room acoustics. However, the physical measurements do not precisely reflect the human acoustical experience. Therefore, her study extends to include the perceptual and cultural aspects of acoustics, providing a more integrated approach to understanding the aural experience. The physical aspect concentrates on analyzing sound propagation in space whereas the perceptual aspect centered on the psychological and physiological effects of sound and its relation to human cognition. The cultural aspect focuses on studying the role of the cultural background in sound perception and the role of social activities in shaping the soundscape of specific places. Hence, her research aims at providing a new comprehensive method of analyzing the aural architecture of buildings by linking qualitative and quantitative methods, studying the ways in which they interact, and how they relate to the architectural design.

Distinguished Music Theory Speaker Series: Prof. Brian Hyer, University of Wisconsin-Madison (February 21, 2020 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70436 70436-17596541@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 5:00pm
Location: Earl V. Moore Building
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Brian Hyer’s research involves the construction (and reconstruction) of historical modes of cognition for music of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, an initiative that blurs boundaries between music theory, music history, and music criticism. Since arriving in Madison, his main concern in the classroom has been to situate the study of music within the broader realm of the humanities, a commitment that has culminated in a new undergraduate music-theory curriculum, implemented in the fall of 1997.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Kenneth Kiesler, conductor
Karalyn Schubring, piano

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

The University Symphony Orchestra presents contrasting music by three U-M women composers: the Piano Concerto by current senior Karalyn Schubring (who is also the piano soloist), Propellers in the Sun by alumna Tanner Porter, and Rain On It by faculty composer Kristin Kuster. Music of two great French composers rounds out the program. Faure’s lyrical and ultimately tragic Pelleas and Melisande is followed by Ravel’s masterpiece Daphnis and Chloe, Suite No. 2, which evokes the ancient myth with opulent impressionist orchestral colors played by an expanded orchestra.

PROGRAM:
Kristin Kuster- Rain on It
Tanner Porter- Propellers in the Sun
Karalyn Schubring- Piano Concerto
Fauré- Pelléas et Mélisande
Ravel- Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2

The Role of Creative Media in Hong Kong Protests (February 25, 2020 7:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/72963 72963-18107877@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 25, 2020 7:00am
Location: Pierpont Commons
Organized By: Hong Kong Human Rights Concern Group

Creative media became a form of passive protest and connected people who shared the same emotions during social unrest in Hong Kong. In this exhibition, we will explore the incredible artworks created in this democratic movement.

Since June, protests have been ongoing in Hong King, sparked by The Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019. In one of the demonstrations, over two million Hongkongers, which is more than a quarter of the population, went on the streets to express their objection to the bill, and later led to a large scale democratic movement. It is important to note, however, that physical protests and demonstrations were not the only methods Hong Kong people used to voice their opinions. Creation of promotional art pieces, music, videos, and memes were sparked by the protests and played a significant role in the democratic movement.

After 2/12, this exhibit will be available for viewing from 2/18 through 2/27 in the Pierpont Commons Piano Lounge.

Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Throughout the twentieth century, carillons such as the bells in Burton Memorial Tower were erected by institutions on the promise of uniting harmonious communities and elevating the Everyman’s taste with Western classical music. Thanks to the invisibility of carillonists and of their agency, carillon concerts remain an uncontested musical practice on the social, cultural, architectural, and sonic landscape, while their power to construct exclusionary sonic communities functions in plain view and hearing. This work challenges the racialized and gendered boundaries that have constructed the carillon as a spatio-sonic tool for social harmony. Carillons served governments and corporations in Cold War-era technology development, cultural diplomacy, and corporate expansion, and if we listen carefully, we can hear their colonial entanglements.

Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

The Black Excellence celebration aims to honor the diversity of blackness within the UM campus and community. This event intends to have different black cultural organizations across campus come and showcase their cultural pride through art, performance, or any form of creative expression. The event will also include a buffet of food from different aspects of the African diaspora, such as soul food, different African dishes, and even dishes from Afro-Latino/Caribbean backgrounds.

At this event, participants and student groups will have an opportunity to celebrate and showcase their artistic talents in many ways, including spoken word, dance, singing, etc. We'll also have local Black vendors at the event.

We are also looking for black art, photographs, and creative pieces to showcase in an art gallery during this event that will take place at the very beginning. There will be an entire section of the union ballroom dedicated to displaying all sorts of black art, Afrocentric collective pieces for anyone who chooses to have art displayed.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

Folkloric dance and music festivals draw in diverse audiences, entertaining participants and instilling a sense of pride in Canadian multiculturalism as a national trait. Folklorama lays claim to being the longest running and largest multicultural festival of its kind in the world, and it is one that relies heavily on community groups more than well known performers. What can an examination of the festival tell us about Canadian national self-narratives? And is it possible to negotiate the complexities of difference and identity politics by engaging in music and dance?

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Location: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

It has long been known that there is a deep connection between Mathematics and Music. In this talk, Purnaprajna shows how modern algebraic geometry inspired by ideas and methods of Alexander Grothendieck sheds light on the connection between different genres of music. He develops a meta geometric framework which gives raise to the so called “Metaraga system”; a system with its own grammar and syntax. This integrates elements of Indian and Western classical music, jazz and the blues. Moreover it gives rise to a music with no vantage point of east or west. Metaraga system’s mathematical under pinning lies in category theoretic algebraic geometry, and Grothendieck like topologies. The dictionary that is set up is both ways; music from math and math from music. This power point presentation will contain both audio and visual elements to illustrate some of the thoughts mentioned above

Contemporary Black artists like Kendrick Lamar, Janelle Monáe, J. Cole, D’Angelo, and Beyoncé infuse empowering messages into their music, which serve as the musical backdrop to this century’s Black Lives Matter movement. Every decade, Black artists have served up insistent messages of empowerment confronting the oppressive effects of white supremacy. These anthems have often come from hip hop, soul, and R&B. Rarely has it come from jazz, a musical genre that has arguably had a closer and more complicated relationship with white audiences and spaces. However, in 1960, jazz drummer Max Roach and vocalist Abby Lincoln collaborated on an album We Insist: Max Roach’s Freedom Suite Now that literally and symbolically confronted historical and global racism in an unprecedented way that adopted a Pan-African approach, spanning slavery and civil rights in the U.S. to anti-apartheid movements in South Africa. This paper will argue that We Insist is a potent focal point of black musical activism by examining the making of the album, its reception by critics and audiences, and the significance of the fact that Roach and Lincoln were themselves embarking on a journey of love for their people and for each other. Ultimately this paper offers an analysis that places We Insist as a comprehensive musical precursor and a prophetic call to the twenty-first century that Black Lives must matter.

EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS, STARTLING WORKS OF ART, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER 

Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American, European, African, and Asian art from across media, sampling the Museum's remarkable, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston, Christo, Theaster Gates, Jenny Holzer, Roni Horn, Do-Ho Suh, Kara Walker, and others, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed, but instead as an active, creative, sometimes startling source of material and ideas, open for debate and interpretation.

UMMA Pop Up: Karissa Bone (March 14, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73786 73786-18315758@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 14, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Writing in her own genre, Karissa Bone introduces music with the bop-factor of Pop, the soul of R&B, and the unexpected element of pinpointed introspective lyrics. Hailing from Saginaw, MI, her style is influenced by Motown, Classic Rock, and everything in life that goes sideways. Her airy, yet powerful voice melts together with her soul-twisting lyrics to make every song a memorable journey. Whether she’s with a full band, string section, at a grand piano, or playing solo with her electric guitar, Bone’s live shows are full of energy and belonging. With short comedic breaks, she seamlessly covers topics from heartbreak to nostalgia, to the modern age of technology. Her artistry truly shows through– when she sings, you stop and listen. 

In 2019, while studying at the University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre & Dance, Bone paid her dues in Ann Arbor, where she's performed at the famed Blind Pig, the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, and the Canterbury House. She currently studies songwriting at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. 

You can find her on Instagram @itskarissabone
