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.

Summer Carillon Series: Tiffany Ng (July 13, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75110 75110-19232231@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, July 13, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

U-M professor Tiffany Ng performs a program to ring out #BlackLivesMatter solidarity with original music by Yvette Janine Jackson, Wilbert Roget II, and more, plus arrangements ranging from "This Little Light of Mine" to Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, and Mahalia Jackson signature songs. (George Matthew, Jr.'s appearance has been postponed indefinitely due to travel concerns.)

Concerts are free and family-friendly. We kindly ask that attendees support physical distancing practices by bringing picnic blankets and lawn chairs and responsibly spacing themselves throughout Gerstacker Grove, and we advise wearing masks when conversing with people from other households.

PayStation parking is available behind the Walgreen Drama Center (https://ltp.umich.edu/lot/?xyz=fG) and the lots behind the Beyster Building (https://ltp.umich.edu/lot/?xyz=fZ), as well in other North Campus lots.

A “virtuoso” (HKSNA) in command of a range of expression from “eerie sonance” (Diapason) to “jumpy athleticism” (Chicago Classical Review), Dr. Tiffany Ng is Assistant Professor of Carillon at the University of Michigan. Her concert career spans festivals in seventeen countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America, where she has premiered over 60 acoustic and electroacoustic works, championed women composers, and pioneered models for interactive “crowdsourced” and environmental-data-driven carillon performances. She holds a doctorate in musicology and new media from the University of California, Berkeley, a master’s degree in organ from the Eastman School of Music, an artist diploma with great distinction from the Royal Carillon School in Belgium, and a bachelor’s degree from Yale.

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.

Concerts are free and family-friendly. We kindly ask that attendees support physical distancing practices by bringing picnic blankets and lawn chairs and responsibly spacing themselves throughout Ingalls Mall, and we advise wearing masks when conversing with people from other households. Public parking is available downtown.

Jenna Moon, one of U-M's two summer carillon series Assistant Directors, is a doctoral candidate in Sacred Music. She studies organ with Dr. James Kibbie and carillon with Dr. Tiffany Ng. An avid ambassador for the carillon, Moon performs weekly midday carillon recitals during the academic year and has arranged Korean traditional songs for the "Global Rings" project under the direction of Dr. Pamela Ruiter-Feenstra. Moon is a co-recipient of a 2020 Sonic Scenographies Award for an experimental collaboration with graduate students in Architecture and Urban Planning. Their research project envisions new rituals of carillon performance on the digital ground of Augmented Reality.

Collection Ensemble (August 11, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/61790 61790-17071401@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, August 11, 2020 11:00am
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.

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.

On Friday, August 28 at 8:00 pm ET, tune in at dptv.org or join us on the Penny Stamps Series Facebook page to view a presentation by Meredith Monk.

Meredith Monk is a composer, singer, director, choreographer, filmmaker, and creator of new opera, music-theater works, films, and installations. Considered one of the most significant and influential creative forces in the performing arts of the past fifty years, she is a pioneer of what is now called “extended vocal technique” and “interdisciplinary performance.” Ms. Monk has received numerous awards and honors including a Duke Performing Artist Award, a MacArthur “Genius” Award, and two Guggenheim fellowships. She has made more than a dozen recordings, most of which are on the ECM New Series label, including the 2008 Grammy-nominated impermanence. Ms. Monk was named Carnegie Hall’s 2014-15 Debs Composer’s Chair, an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters by the Republic of France, and one of NPR’s 50 Great Voices. In September 2015, she received the National Medal of Arts from President Barack Obama. Celebrated internationally, her work has been presented at major venues throughout the world.

This presentation is supported by the University Musical Society.

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: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Panel Discussion
This session explores how contemporary artists continue to build on this dynamic legacy through musical works that extend the techniques, themes, and concerns of the Black art song into the twenty-first century.

Introduction: Stephen Michael Newby, Seattle Pacific University
Moderator: Uzee Brown, Morehouse College
Panelists: Britney Boykin, Spelman College; Adolphus Hailstork, Old Dominion University; Dave Ragland, and Darryl Taylor, University of California - Irvine

In 1916, concert artist, arranger, music editor, and composer, Harry T. Burleigh (1866-1949), published Jubilee Songs of the United States. Arranged for piano and voice, the songs represented a landmark as it established the solo Black art song as a distinct genre. Willis Patterson’s landmark collection, Anthology of Art Songs by Black American Composers was published in 1977. Its influence on the post-Civil Rights era pedagogy and performance of Black concert music has been inestimable. By building on Burleigh’s legacy, Patterson’s anthology has been central to establishing Black art songs as an important tradition of practice in American concert life on par with German Lieder and French Chanson.

Since the first African American Symposium of 1985, Black music research has surged with no sign of waning. What at one time represented a niche interest in the academy is now recognized as one of the most energized, rigorous, and popular fields of inquiry in the millennium. The studies on this panel showcase new and on-going scholarship on Black musicians who have made an indelible mark on the American musical landscape from the nineteenth century to the present.

When Ken Fischer retired after 30 years as president of the University Musical Society in 2017, many of his friends and colleagues repeatedly told him, “Ken, you should write a book! You have so many great stories.”

Ken took that advice, and we’re delighted to announce that Everybody In, Nobody Out: Inspiring Community at Michigan’s University Musical Society is now available from University of Michigan Press, with a wonderful foreword by Wynton Marsalis.

During this virtual book launch, John U. Bacon, Ann Arbor author, speaker, tv and radio commentator, and longtime friend of Ken’s, will interview Ken about his book, highlighting some of the wonderful stories Ken shares from his three decades at UMS and a lifetime in the arts.

This book launch is co-presented by Literati Bookstore and University of Michigan Press Great Lakes.

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.

Journey through the Syrian-Pacific with your own personal dragoman Omar Offendum, along with his partner-in-thyme Thanks Joey. This Shamreeki sonic saga is equal parts nostalgic and futuristic.

"In times of turmoil and transformation—a locked-down present and an uncertain future—how do artists share wisdom and experience? How do they foster growth? As a vocalist singing in multiples languages, as a composer straddling genres and styles, as a musician playing instruments whose histories span continents and centuries, and as a dancer and writer of compelling grace and power, Jen Shyu transforms wisdom from masters and stories gathered from communities around the world into fresh and original expressions. Her work off the bandstand focuses on fighting inequity and helping create new mentorship networks" (Larry Blumenfeld). During this session, Shyu will also perform new works composed during the lockdown period that are centered around quarantine as well as the Black Lives Matter movement.

Jen Shyu ("Shyu" pronounced "Shoe" in English, Chinese name: 徐秋雁, Pinyin: Xúqiūyàn) is a groundbreaking, multilingual vocalist, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, 2019 United States Artists Fellow, 2016 Doris Duke Artist, and was voted 2017 Downbeat Critics Poll Rising Star Female Vocalist. Born in Peoria, Illinois, to Taiwanese and East Timorese immigrant parents, Shyu is widely regarded for her virtuosic singing and riveting stage presence, carving out her own beyond-category space in the art world. She has performed with or sung the music of such musical innovators as Nicole Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, Steve Coleman, Vijay Iyer, Bobby Previte, Chris Potter, Michael Formanek and David Binney. Shyu has performed her own music on prestigious world stages such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rubin Museum of Art, Ojai Festival, Ringling International Arts Festival, Asia Society, Roulette, Blue Note, Bimhuis, Salihara Theater, National Gugak Center, National Theater of Korea and at festivals worldwide.

A Stanford University graduate in opera with classical violin and ballet training, Shyu had already won many piano competitions and performed the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto (3rd mvmt.) with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra by the age of 13. She speaks 10 languages and has studied traditional music and dance in Cuba, Taiwan, Brazil, China, South Korea, East Timor and Indonesia, conducting extensive research which culminated in her 2014 stage production Solo Rites: Seven Breaths, directed by renowned Indonesian filmmaker Garin Nugroho.

Shyu has won commissions and support from NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, MAP Fund, US-Japan Creative Artists Fellowship from Japan-US Friendship Commission and National Endowment for the Arts, Jerome Foundation, Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works, Exploring the Metropolis, New Music USA, Jazz Gallery, and Roulette, as well as fellowships from the Fulbright Scholar Program, Civitella Ranieri Foundation, Asian Cultural Council, Hermitage Artist Retreat, Yaddo, MacDowell Colony, Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Korean Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Tourism.

Shyu has produced seven albums as a leader, including the first female-led and vocalist-led album Pi Recordings has released, Synastry (Pi 2011), with co-bandleader and bassist Mark Dresser. Her critically acclaimed Sounds and Cries of the World (Pi 2015) landed on many best-of-2015 lists, including those of The New York Times, The Nation, and NPR. Her latest album Song of Silver Geese (Pi 2017) is receiving rave reviews and was also included on The New York Times’ Best Albums of 2017.

In the new virtual series, PERFORMING THE MOVEMENT, PERFORMING THE MOMENT, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

Voters Broadcast

Selected messages will be set in Voters’ Broadcast, a new musical work conceived and composed by Lisa Bielawa, which will bring together choirs from the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. The 15-minute musical work will be released in three parts over the course of the fall semester as part of the Democracy & Debate Theme Semester programming.

Premiered in three virtual events online:
Wednesday, September 30, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 14, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 28, 3 pm

Watch the performances here: http://www.lisabielawa.net/voters-broadcast

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Music is present in our mental lives and can be a powerful antidote for emotional turmoil. This is particularly true in our current social, political, and cultural environment.

This course will bring awareness and deeper understanding regarding the power of music. Musical examples offered by Instructors Julie and Louis Nagel and also by class participants will be a basis for discussions about coping with the powerful feelings that have been evoked during COVID-19, the murder of George Floyd, and simmering racial, social, and political tensions. We will share poignant music and video clips that explore effects which include rage, loneliness, feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, vulnerable, and oppressed, as well as ways music can motivate people to think about turning loss, grief, and violence into positive action. West Side Story will begin our explorations.

The study group will be held on Thursdays from October 1 through 29.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or by phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

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.

Our lens on history powerfully influences how we envision and shape the future. Join two of our country's most accomplished storytellers, Ken Burns and Isabel Wilkerson, as they discuss the complexities of the American narrative and how grappling with the past might lead us forward. 

Journalist Isabel Wilkerson was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama in 2016 “for championing the stories of an unsung history.” The first African-American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, her book The Warmth of Other Suns, a sweeping and intimate examination of the Great Migration, won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction. Her new book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, examines the entrenched hierarchies that shape American life. Told through intimate personal narratives and deeply researched history, Wilkerson examines the ties between the American caste system and those in India and Nazi Germany, and points to ways America can move beyond our artificial and destructive human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.

Ken Burns has been making documentary films for over forty years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, he has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including The Civil War; Baseball; Jazz; The War; The National Parks: America’s Best Idea; The Roosevelts: An Intimate History; Jackie Robinson; Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson; The Vietnam War; The Central Park Five; and Country Music. His films have been honored with dozens of major awards, including sixteen Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, two Oscar nominations; and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. His new website UNUM rearranges clips from his past films into playlists to add historical context to the present.

This conversation will be moderated by Lynette Clemetson, Director of Wallace House, Knight-Wallace Fellowships and the Livingston Awards at the University of Michigan. A longtime journalist, she was a correspondent for Newsweek magazine in the U.S. and Asia, a national correspondent for The New York Times, and senior director of strategy and new initiatives at NPR. Wallace House works to sustain and elevate the careers of journalists, foster civic engagement, and uphold the role of a free press in democratic society. 

This event is part of the Democracy & Debate theme semester with support from Wallace House and UMMA.

with Liz Ames, piano

The program will begin with the Pergolesi Sinfonia, familiar to most as material from Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite. Next will be Pete Meechan's "...a night devoid of stars", a piece based on an essay of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King on the futility of violence in society. This piece will be a multimedia presentation in partnership with Professor Audrey Bennett, University of Michigan's Diversity and Social Transformation Professor. The final piece before intermission will be Steven Juliani's "Mariana", a marvelous new work for tuba and piano.
Following intermission will be John Stevens' "Five Muses for Tuba and Piano". John is a sage within our discipline and as a tubist/composer, always writes compelling and effective music for the instrument. Next is a new work, "Nine Miniatures", originally for horn and piano by my friend James Naigus, my former colleague at the University of Georgia. It is a collection of short character pieces that are both evocative and charming. The program will close with the Tom McCaslin arrangement of Mike Garson's Variations on a Theme of Paganini. Yes, it is *that* theme, which in this work gets a whimsical jazz treatment.

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: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

Voters Broadcast

Selected messages will be set in Voters’ Broadcast, a new musical work conceived and composed by Lisa Bielawa, which will bring together choirs from the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. The 15-minute musical work will be released in three parts over the course of the fall semester as part of the Democracy & Debate Theme Semester programming.

Premiered in three virtual events online:
Wednesday, September 30, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 14, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 28, 3 pm

Watch the performances here: http://www.lisabielawa.net/voters-broadcast

Tending our Gardens: Ethnomusicologists as Music Educators, Music Historians, and Administrators (October 16, 2020 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78400 78400-20028614@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 16, 2020 5:00pm

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

ZOOM Passcode: 919304 

Prof. Timothy Rice, Distinguished Professor, Emeritus, Ethnomusicology, UCLA

It has been said that ethnomusicology is what ethnomusicologists do. Those of us who work in schools and departments of music often do many things and have multiple roles to play. As researchers, we may teach about the world's musical traditions, the musical traditions of the U.S. and the Americas, and the particular cultures, people, and genres we have researched in depth. In our roles as citizens of the university or college where we teach, we often take on other roles as performers, composers, music theorists, music educators, music historians, and administrators. In my own career these last three roles have figured most prominently. To these roles I have brought the values inherent in the discipline of ethnomusicology: advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion and opposing ethnocentrism and racism. This presentation examines my own life-long experiences in such institutions, including course and curricular innovations that express these values. Among other things, I discuss my recent attempt to move the curriculum of a school of music away from the eurocentrism at its core by becoming, in effect, a music historian. And I conclude with some reflections on why moving away from ethnocentrism to inclusion in schools of music has proven so difficult and one approach to doing so.

Timothy Rice, Distinguished Professor, Emeritus, of ethnomusicology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has written many books and articles about the traditional music of Bulgaria and Macedonia. He also writes about theory and method in ethnomusicology, including Ethnomusicology: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2014) and Modeling Ethnomusicology (Oxford University Press, 2017). He was the editor of the journal Ethnomusicology (1981-1984); the founding co-editor of the ten-volume Garland Encyclopedia of World Music (1992-2002); and the President of the Society for Ethnomusicology (SEM, 2003-2005). As the founding director of the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music (2007-2013), he contributed to discussions of curricular reform at the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the College Music Society (CMS). In 2019 he was named an honorary member of the Society for Ethnomusicology for his contributions to SEM and the field of ethnomusicology.

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

Registration required: http://myumi.ch/0WV7O

Tiffany Ng performs several selections from her recent concerts in solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives and #SayHerName on the carillon, and discusses recent efforts on this most public of instruments to expand beyond a diversity, equity & inclusion mindset to an actively anti-racist approach to the music that hundreds to thousands of people hear from bell towers each day.

Tiffany Ng (she/her/hers) is an assistant professor of carillon and university carillonist at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. An energetic advocate of diversity in contemporary music, she has premiered or revived over sixty pieces by emerging and established composers from Augusta Read Thomas to Yvette Janine Jackson, pioneered models for interactive “crowdsourced” carillon performances and environmental-data-driven sound installations with Greg Niemeyer, Chris Chafe, Ed Campion, Ken Goldberg, John Granzow, and Laura Steenberge, and through her composer collaborations significantly increased the American repertoire for carillon and electronics.

In this new virtual series, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

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.

T. Ayo Alston teaches and practices a signature theatrical style of West African drum and dance culture that captures the strength and power of women and community. Ayo is the founder, executive director, composer, and choreographer of Ayodele Drum and Dance, a performance training organization created for women to affirm their self-confidence and strength. Through Ayodele, she has performed, educated, fostered interpersonal healing, and created artistic work from a foundation of traditional African cultures fused with contemporary dance styles.

Throughout her career Ayo has taught, choreographed, and performed at schools and universities locally and nationally, as well as in African and Brazilian countries, as an independent artist and as a member of other companies and organizations, such as Dance Africa, Drum Cafe West, Le Bagatae Company of Guinea, Les Ballets Africans, and Muntu Dance Theatre.

In the last two years Ayo has been focused on fine-tuning and sharing her ability to compose music on African instruments, such as the kalimba. This resulted in her accepting a role as a lead actress in and musical composer for Mies Julie at Victory Gardens Theater and as a composer and musician for The Lion King Jr. at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).

Ayo serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia College Chicago and on the Dance faculty at Chicago High School of the Arts. She also has developed drum and dance programs that are thriving in prestigious schools, such as Jones College Prep and Walter Payton College Prep, where Ayodele has trained dancers to teach and gain professional artistic skills and experience.

In the new virtual series, PERFORMING THE MOVEMENT, PERFORMING THE MOMENT, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

CREES Noon Lecture. Music and Resilience in Early Postwar Poland (October 28, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76039 76039-19655370@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 28, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

This talk examines the composers who survived the Second World War in Poland and the music they wrote during the war’s aftermath. It analyzes longer-range continuities in composition in Poland across the war period. To do so, Mackenzie Pierce examines previously unconsidered archival materials to show how the wartime survival of the composers Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern, Zygmunt Mycielski, and Roman Palester informed their postwar aesthetics. He shows how these individual reactions to the war gained—or failed to gain—broader social support. Ultimately, he argues, these composers reactivated deep-seated beliefs about the power of the aesthetic to mediate individual and collective experience, bolstering an expressive, emotional musical style that would resonate through postwar Polish composition for years to come.

Mackenzie Pierce is assistant professor of musicology at the School of Music, Theater & Dance at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the cultural aftermath of WWII among Poland’s composers, musicologists, and performers, and he has overseen world and US premieres of the works of Roman Palester and Tadeusz Zygfryd Kassern, among others. His articles appear in *19th-Century Music*, *The Journal of Musicology*, and *The Cambridge Companion to Music and Fascism*. His research has been supported through fellowships from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews, and the Kościuszko Foundation.

I Wish to Say: Voters Broadcast (October 28, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/77702 77702-19903720@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 28, 2020 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Sheryl Oring returns to University of Michigan for virtual performances of “I Wish to Say” from September 29-November 1, 2020 as part of the university’s Democracy & Debate Theme Semester in collaboration with Stamps Gallery and Wayne State University.

In this project, Oring invites participants to dictate a message to the next president of the United States of America. Oring was last on the Ann Arbor campus in 2017 as part of the Stamps Gallery exhibition Vital Signs for a New America, curated by Srimoyee Mitra. For the 2020 iteration of the project, Oring collaborates with students at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, who will meet with members of the general public via Zoom to take dictation of the public’s messages to the next president. Students will type these messages on mid-century manual typewriters on the Zoom call in a performative fashion. The typed postcards will be mailed directly to the White House on the participant’s behalf after the inauguration.

Voters Broadcast

Selected messages will be set in Voters’ Broadcast, a new musical work conceived and composed by Lisa Bielawa, which will bring together choirs from the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. The 15-minute musical work will be released in three parts over the course of the fall semester as part of the Democracy & Debate Theme Semester programming.

Premiered in three virtual events online:
Wednesday, September 30, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 14, 3 pm
Wednesday, October 28, 3 pm

Watch the performances here: http://www.lisabielawa.net/voters-broadcast

Registration is required: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lisa-bielawas-voters-broadcast-virtual-world-premiere-registration-122615362851
This event is free and open to the public.
Join composer Lisa Bielawa as she unveils her new, broadly participatory musical work Voters’ Broadcast (http://www.lisabielawa.net/voters-broadcast) in its entirety for the first time online in this virtual event hosted by University Musical Society President Matthew VanBesien, and co-presented by University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Kaufman Music Center in New York.
Bielawa has created Voters’ Broadcast for an unlimited number of voices and instruments made up of choral singers and instrumentalists from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; the University Musical Society Choral Union; Kaufman Music Center in New York; and more, for performance online and/or by socially distanced ensembles. Her mission with the work is to stimulate voter engagement, political awareness, and community participation in challenging lockdown conditions, through the act of giving voice to the concerns of fellow citizens during the lead-up to the 2020 Presidential election.

The text for Voters’ Broadcast is excerpted from artist Sheryl Oring’s ongoing project I Wish to Say, which uses vintage typewriters for social change. I Wish to Say consists of performances in which Oring and a pool of typists work on vintage manual typewriters and invite the public to dictate postcards to the U.S. President. In the current circumstances, Oring and the typists are holding Zoom sessions, during which participants dictate their messages to the next President. Launched in 2004, the project has garnered nearly 4,000 postcards to President Bush, President Obama, and President Trump, all of which have been mailed to the White House on behalf of the participant as part of the performance.

Voters’ Broadcast is commissioned as part of the Democracy & Debate theme-semester by the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor with support from its School of Music, Theatre & Dance, and developed in partnership with Kaufman Music Center in New York, where Bielawa is a 2020 Artist in Residence.

Voters’ Broadcast is providing voting information via HeadCount, a non-partisan organization that uses the power of music to register voters and promote participation in democracy. Check your voter registration and make a plan to vote at HeadCount.org.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Presented online, this year’s Grand Night for Singing will focus on the themes of community and connection, with repertoire including traditional songs that speak to our need for communal singing such as “I Was Glad” by Sir Charles Hubert Parry and “How Can I Keep from Singing” arranged by Karen Thomas. It will also feature new social justice songs such as Alysia Lee’s “Say Her Name” and Melanie Demore’s “Lead with Love.” This music seeks to raise awareness about police brutality and anti-racism in the United States, and all four pieces will be presented as new virtual choir pieces.

This year’s Grand Night for Singing program will be the largest in the concert’s history. Nine of U-M’s choral ensembles will participate including singers in SMTD’s Michigan Youth Chamber Ensemble and the University Musical Society Choral Union. The event will be held virtually via livestream on SMTD’s Facebook and YouTube and will include live commentary with Grand Night performers.

Kenneth Kiesler, Artistic Director

Ghouls and goblins, gather ‘round your screens: The U-M Halloween Concert is going virtual! This thrilling annual U-M tradition features the University Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras in costume, led by current Graduate conducting students, performing spooky symphonic Halloween favorites.

Highlights this year include an inventive, Zoom-style take on March of the Little Goblins, a new classic written by U-M alum Adam Glaser (now Music Director of the professional-caliber Juilliard Pre-College Orchestras and Director of Orchestras at Hofstra University) when he was an orchestral conducting student. March of the Little Goblins originally received its premiere as the opening number of the Halloween Concert at Hill Auditorium in 1997.

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.

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: Off Campus Location
Organized By: International Institute

REGISTRATION REQUIRED: http://myumi.ch/v2Z2Q

The *Radical History Review* Issue 138, “Fascism and Anti-fascism Since 1945” is currently open access (until January 2021) and available to read on the Duke University Press website. (https://read.dukeupress.edu/radical-history-review/issue/2020/138)

Presenters: Co-editors Jessica Namakkal (Duke), Mark Bray (Rutgers), Eric Roubinek (UNC Asheville) and Giulia Riccò (University of Michigan)

Respondents: Federico Finchelstein (The New School); Victoria de Grazia (Columbia University)

Contributors to this special issue of *Radical History Review* study histories of fascism and antifascism after 1945 to show how fascist ideology continues to circulate and be opposed transnationally despite its supposed death at the end of World War II.

The essays cover the use of fascism in the 1970s construction of the Latinx Left, the connection between antifascism and anti-imperialism in 1960s Italian Communist internationalism, post-dictatorship Argentina and the transhistorical alliance between Las Madres and travestí activism, cultures of antifascism in contemporary Japan, and the British radical right's attempted alliance with Qathafi's Libya. The issue also includes a discussion about teaching fascism through fiction in the age of Trump, a reflection on the practices of archiving and displaying antifascist objects to various publics, and reviews of recent works on antifascism, punk music, and the Rock Against Racism movement. Please RSVP for the Zoom link and password (RSVP link can be found below). This event is sponsored by the Democracy and Debate Theme Semester.

Salakastar will be performing selections from ALL BLUE: PART ONE (MAJORELLE!) , her debut experimental R+B album and performance series. It consists of poetic healing rituals in the form of vibrant sounds, visuals, and mantras. AB: P1(M!) is a response to the urgent needs of people of color for recording and sharing untold narratives of self, land, and belonging.

Salakastar channels her ancestral spirit Majorelle to expand the African-American tradition of rhythm+blues and its lineage in relation to the generational depression experienced by descendants of the survivors of the Middle Passage and the souls that still exist in the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean. She extends the healing quality of the color blue as it relates to the 5th chakra at the throat associated with Truth, voice, communication, and purification.

Salakastar is a Detroit born and based actor, singer-songwriter, poet, and teaching artist working in theatre, television, film, and music. She earned her BFA and completed her classical acting training at the State University of New York at Purchase College. She is an artist-in-residence at Poetic Societies, a member of the touring company of I, Too, Sing America at the Michigan Opera Theatre and a founding member of iii Sisters, a Detroit-based feminist writing ensemble. She is a 2018 Gilda Award Winner and a 2020 Kresge Artist Fellow in Live Arts awarded by the Kresge foundation.

In the new virtual series, PERFORMING THE MOVEMENT, PERFORMING THE MOMENT, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

JOHN GRANZOW  Assistant Professor of Music (Performing Arts Technology)
Virtual Reality (VR) and digital fabrication technologies today are ushering in a new wave of opportunities in instrument design to bring otherwise implausible instruments to life or support virtual counterparts to irreplaceable and fragile instruments housed in museums and  collections. In the latter case, we aim to resynthesize both the sound of a rare instrument as well as the audio visual experience of playing it in a virtual space. The Stearns Instrument Collection at the University of Michigan has served as an invaluable resource for this research. In this seminar I will discuss electrophones of interest in the collection that give rise to persisting issues of interaction design as well as research conducted with Dr. Anıl Çamcı (Performing Arts Technology, SMTD) where instruments in the collection are scanned and modeled for virtual interaction.

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.

.

December 1 marks World AIDS Day, as well as Day With(out) Art 2020, a yearly event presented by Visual AIDS marking the global impact of HIV/AIDS. Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over. This year, Visual AIDS is presenting a series of short films titled TRANSMISSIONS, which will premiere on November 30 at 6pm EST as part of a special online screening event hosted by Visual AIDS. A live Q&A with the commissioned artists will follow the screening. Beginning December 1, the video program will be available to view online at visualaids.org/transmissions.

RSVP here to receive updates about the live event   ​ Then, consider submitting your own art to the SEC blog! You can relate your work to the topic of HIV/AIDS awareness in any way you see fit, but some prompts that you can use:
How does HIV/AIDS awareness and other public health issues affect various groups differently? How does the HIV/AIDS crisis continue internationally today or relate to other current public health issues? How has viewing the films in the TRANSMISSIONS series changed my personal view of HIV/AIDS? How do people reconcile with the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS diagnoses?
Your work can be in any artistic medium — painting, poetry, dance, collage, music, film, creative writing, sculpture, photography and more are all welcome. HOW TO SUBMIT:
Put your work together in an accessible digital file format — .pdf, .jpg, .png, .mov, .mp4, a website or Google Drive link. Send your submissions to ummastudentcouncil@umich.edu with your name and the title of the piece. (Optional) Include a short description of your piece as it relates to HIV/AIDS awareness or the films of TRANSMISSIONS series.
You can submit at any time beforehand, but please have all submissions in by Thursday, December 10th, at 5 pm EST. Any questions? Ask ummastudentcouncil@umich.edu!

Student programming at UMMA is generously supported by the University of Michigan Credit Union Arts Adventures Program, UMMA's Lead Sponsor for Student and Family Engagement.
