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.

.

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.

A conversation with Simone Eccleston, Director of Hip Hop and Contemporary Music at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

What does it take to work toward representational justice? And how do artists and arts workers carry forward this work? Inspired by the Vision & Justice volume of Aperture magazine, join us for an hour-long conversation with Simone Eccleston as we hear her insights and perspective on her role bringing hip hop and contemporary music to one of the largest arts institutions in the nation, and how investment in representation requires infrastructure and imagination for justice.

With responses from Yuval Sharon, Michigan Opera Theatre, Christina Olsen, UMMA (University of Michigan Museum of Art).

Moderated by: Omari Rush, CultureSource

This program is presented by CultureSource of Southeast Michigan with support from MASCO. For information about the online residency "Representational Justice and Hip Hop Culture with Simon Eccleston," please visit www.culturesource.org.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Watch Session THREE at http://myumi.ch/kxPgR

Department of Musical Theatre

3 unique performances on three nights.

In theatre tradition, a ghostlight—usually a single bulb—remains on an empty stage when a theatre goes dark, to appease the spirits. Faced with the near impossibility of putting on a fully-staged production during a pandemic, the Department of Musical Theatre has chosen to provide a new kind of ghostlight: an online-only revue of the best that the department has to offer.

This faculty-led, student-driven production will feature songs, skits, and dances directed, choreographed, performed, and in some cases written by students from across the Department Musical Theatre. From classics of musical theatre to pop, folk, and jazz, this revue has it all.

Watch Session THREE at http://myumi.ch/kxPgR

Department of Musical Theatre

3 unique performances on three nights.

In theatre tradition, a ghostlight—usually a single bulb—remains on an empty stage when a theatre goes dark, to appease the spirits. Faced with the near impossibility of putting on a fully-staged production during a pandemic, the Department of Musical Theatre has chosen to provide a new kind of ghostlight: an online-only revue of the best that the department has to offer.

This faculty-led, student-driven production will feature songs, skits, and dances directed, choreographed, performed, and in some cases written by students from across the Department Musical Theatre. From classics of musical theatre to pop, folk, and jazz, this revue has it all.

Missy Mazzoli, Composer
Royce Vavrek, librettist

University Opera Theatre & University Symphony Orchestra

Based on the short story by Karen Russell, Proving Up is an intimate and haunting look at the perils of the American Dream. Set in Nebraska in the 1870s at the height of the push west, a family of homesteaders struggles to meet the daunting requirements of the Homestead Act as they try “proving up” on their land claim. This atmospheric new chamber opera from composer Missy Mazzoli features a sparse cast and orchestra, and was selected as one of The New York Times’ Best Classical Music of 2018 selections.

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.

Suddenly, strangers, friends, co-workers and family are unknowingly singing their feelings -- just to her. At first, Zoey questions her own sanity, but after some guidance from Mo, her musically attuned neighbor, and making a breakthrough with her ailing father, Zoey soon realizes this unwanted curse may just be an amazing and wonderful gift --as she now connects with the world like never before."

A free screening (zoom webinar) of the critically acclaimed documentary film,
RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT, followed by Q&A with director Marlon Johnson.


Wednesday, January 19, 2021 via Zoom Webinar (EDT, US and Canada):
     7:00pm - Introduction with Stearns Collection director Joseph Gascho and Marlon Johnson
     7:10pm - Screening begins
     8:45pm - Live Q&A with film director Marlon Johnson

RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT is a powerful story of music, love, and legacies set in the American South. Edward "Nardie" White devoted his life to leading the African-American drum corps he co-founded with Zambia Nkrumah in Louisville, Kentucky three decades ago. Together they inspired youth from their West Louisville neighborhood to thrive by connecting them with the art and cultural traditions of their African ancestors. Now Albert Shumake, whose destiny was shaped by the drumline, must take up the mantle for the next generation. Meanwhile, student drummers Imani, Jailen, and Emily navigate adolescence and life changes. RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT follows this creative community of mentors, parents, and youth making their way in a world where systemic forces raise obstacles to fulfilling their dreams.

Prof. Eugene Rogers, current MM student and alumnus Julian Goods, U-M alumnus Teddy Gotfredson, and the U-M Men's Glee Club are featured in the documentary which highlighted the Glee Club's performance of "Seven Last Words of the Unarmed" by Joel Thompson.

Musicology Lecture: National Anthems: Signifiers of Dominance and Oppression (February 5, 2021 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81218 81218-20873992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 5, 2021 5:00pm

On Jan 6, 2021, insurrectionists sang the Star Spangled Banner and waved the confederate flag while violently invading The Capitol. Contrast this with moments in 2016, when African American NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick  knelt quietly and peacefully during the Star-Spangled Banner. These gestures, both related to the National anthem, varied widely in action, perception, and meaning. These differences, rooted in the racial and racist history of the United States, draw attention to the very notion of a national anthem. Long before Kaepernick, Black folks in the United States have been questioning this song that was written by a slave-holding anti-abolitionist. These same questions should apply in African countries as well. How have national anthems been used to reinforce or dilute national pride in African countries.  Often these songs are sonic reflections of the colonized past, a great irony given the troubled relationships between these countries and their colonial “masters.” This presentation explores the complex relationship between official national anthems and black folks, and considers alternative songs that Africans and African Americans have embraced as a way of authoring their own sense of national identity and challenging enduring systems of oppression.

The Materiality of *Kunshan qiang:* The Emergence of a “Refined” *(Ya)* Singing Style of *Chuanqi* in Late Ming China (February 12, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81080 81080-20846539@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 12, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

*Chuanqi* is a dramatic genre comprising dialogue and arias that was prevalent in late Ming and early Qing China. Sheng's work investigates the interface between page and performance to explore the relations among literary texts, musical sound, and staging practices embedded in the genre, thereby decentering the hegemony of text in the study of *chuanqi.*

For this talk, Sheng will focus on *Kunshan qiang,* a specific singing style, and analyze how it became the refined, orthodox voice of *chuanqi* in early modern China. The discussion will center on a series of material practices paramount to the reform of Kunshan qiang, including the introduction of melodic instruments, the construction of a new stylized language for singing through typographical inventions, and the promotion of bodily techniques of rhythm. Such analyses of material practices cast light on a late Ming ecology of music in which the human body was deployed together with instruments and writing/printing technology as an essential tool for the practice, reproduction, and circulation of music.

James Ehnes has established himself as one of the most sought-after violinists on the international stage. Gifted with a rare combination of stunning virtuosity, serene lyricism and an unfaltering musicality, Ehnes is a favourite guest of many of the world’s most respected conductors including Ashkenazy, Alsop, Sir Andrew Davis, Denève, Elder, Ivan Fischer, Gardner, Paavo Järvi, Mena, Noseda, Robertson and Runnicles. Ehnes’s long list of orchestras includes, amongst others, the Boston, Chicago, London, NHK and Vienna Symphony Orchestras, the Los Angeles, New York, Munich and Czech Philharmonic Orchestras, and the Cleveland, Philadelphia, Philharmonia and DSO Berlin orchestras.

Recent orchestral highlights include the MET Orchestra at Carnegie Hall with Noseda, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig with Shelley, San Francisco Symphony with Janowski, Frankfurt Radio Symphony with Orozco-Estrada, London Symphony with Harding, and Munich Philharmonic with van Zweden, as well as his debut with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Lincoln Center in spring 2019. In 2019/20, Ehnes is Artist in Residence with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, which includes performances of the Elgar Concerto with Luisi, a play/direct programme leg by Ehnes, and a chamber music programme. In 2017, Ehnes premiered the Aaron-Jay Kernis Violin Concerto with the Toronto, Seattle and Dallas Symphony Orchestras, and gave further performances of the piece with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester and Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

Alongside his concerto work, James Ehnes maintains a busy recital schedule. He performs regularly at the Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Symphony Center Chicago, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Ravinia, Montreux, Chaise-Dieu, the White Nights Festival in St Petersburg, Verbier Festival, Festival de Pâques in Aix, and in 2018 he undertook a recital tour to the Far East, including performances in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. As part of the Beethoven celebrations, Ehnes has been invited to perform the complete cycle of Beethoven Sonatas at the Wigmore Hall throughout 2019/20. Elsewhere Ehnes performs the Beethoven Sonatas at Dresden Music Festival, Prague Spring Festival, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, at Aspen Music Festival (as part of a multi-year residency) and at Bravo Vail Festival during his residency week also including the Violin Concerto and Triple Concerto with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Runnicles. In 2016, Ehnes undertook a cross-Canada recital tour, performing in each of the country’s provinces and territories, to celebrate his 40th birthday.

As a chamber musician, he has collaborated with leading artists such as Andsnes, Capucon, Lortie, Lugansky, Yo-Yo Ma, Tamestit, Vogler and Yuja Wang. In 2010, he formally established the Ehnes Quartet, with whom he has performed in Europe at venues including the Wigmore Hall, Auditorium du Louvre in Paris and Théâtre du Jeu de Paume in Aix, amongst others. Ehnes is the Artistic Director of the Seattle Chamber Music Society.
Ehnes has an extensive discography and has won many awards for his recordings, including a Grammy Award (2019) for his live recording of Aaron Jay Kernis’ Violin Concerto with the Seattle Symphony and Ludovic Morlot, and a Gramophone Award for his live recording of the Elgar Concerto with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Sir Andrew Davis. His recording of the Korngold, Barber and Walton violin concertos won a Grammy Award for ‘Best Instrumental Soloist Performance’ and a JUNO award for ‘Best Classical Album of the Year’. His recording of the Paganini Caprices earned him universal praise, with Diapason writing of the disc, “Ehnes confirms the predictions of Erick Friedman, eminent student of Heifetz: ‘there is only one like him born every hundred years’.” Recent releases include sonatas by Beethoven, Debussy, Elgar and Respighi, and concertos by Walton, Britten, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Strauss, as well as the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Andrew Manze, which was released in October 2017 (Onyx Classics).

Ehnes began violin studies at the age of five, became a protégé of the noted Canadian violinist Francis Chaplin aged nine, and made his orchestra debut with L’Orchestre symphonique de Montréal aged 13. He continued his studies with Sally Thomas at the Meadowmount School of Music and The Juilliard School, winning the Peter Mennin Prize for Outstanding Achievement and Leadership in Music upon his graduation in 1997. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and in 2010 was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada. Ehnes was awarded the 2017 Royal Philharmonic Society Award in the Instrumentalist category.

James Ehnes plays the “Marsick” Stradivarius of 1715.

Stearns Collection Lecture: “Devils, Secret Societies, and Musical Instruments in Liberia” - Lester Monts (February 16, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79347 79347-20280629@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Part of the Virginia Martin Howard Lecture Series

Lester Monts is Professor Emeritus of Musicology at the University of Michigan

The ethnomusicological literature on music in West Africa contains several landmark studies on the performance practice, history, and function of musical instruments. The 21-string kora (Senegambia), the conical-shaped drum djembe (Senegal ), the talking drums atumpan (Ghana), and the hour-glass shaped dundun (Nigeria) and others garner particular appeal and interest among organologists.  The Stearns Collection contains specimens of each of these instruments.  

This lecture focuses on the musical instruments commonly used by ethnic groups in northern Liberia and Southern Sierra Leone, namely, the Mende, Gola, Dei, and Vai.  The data used in this presentation draws on more than 40 years of research among the Vai people of Liberia, highlighting the role of musical instruments in numerous cultural contexts, including their vital importance in masquerade performance, recreational dance, and the enactment of rituals and ceremonies of two pan-ethnic secret societies: Poro (Ɓɛli) for men and Sande (Bundu) for women.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

Maciej Lewenstein will present a historical review of free improvisation and jazz avant-garde, starting from the 1960s, as well as the early attempts to play free jazz by Tomasz Stańko or Leszek Żᶕdło. He will comment on the fusion-dominated 1970s and 1980s, then focus on the yass movement of the 1990s. The important role of the late Andrzej “Major” Przybielski will be stressed. He will sketch the present free improvisation scene in Poland, and describe a few of the leading figures of this scene: Mikołaj Trzaska, Rafał Mazur, Jerzy Mazzoll, Wacław Zimpel, Piotr Mełech, Paulina Owczarek, and more. The lecture will be illustrated with numerous musical examples. Maciej Lewenstein will also spend some time discussing the general condition of the Polish avant-garde: jazz clubs, concerts and festivals, as well as record labels.

Maciej Lewenstein graduated at Warsaw University in 1978 and joined the Centre for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He finished his PhD in Essen in 1983 and habilitated in 1986 in Warsaw. He was postdoc at Universitaet Essen, at Harvard University, at Commisariat a l'Énergie Atomique in Saclay, and at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics in Boulder. He was on faculty in Saclay (1995-98) and Leibniz University Hannover (1998-2005). In 2005, he moved to Catalonia as ICREA Professor to lead the quantum optics theory program at the Institut de Ciències Fotòniques in Castelldefels.

Musicology Distinguished Lecture: Revolution, Trauma, and a Transition to Nowhere: Thoughts on Russian Music and Culture post-1991 - Prof. Marina Frolova-Walker (February 19, 2021 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82028 82028-21008731@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 19, 2021 5:00pm

In the studies of post-Soviet space the term “transition to democracy”, so prevalent in the 1990s, has met an early demise. The optimistic narrative of transition first became impatient with the slowness and hesitancy of the process, then suffered from the uncertainty of the moving or even vanishing target, and was finally abandoned by scholars as it became clear that the post-Soviet nation-states were taking shape in some yet unprecedented forms that required unbiased analysis. 
 
The place of optimistic teleologies has been taken by hindsight-driven narratives portraying the collapse of the Soviet Union as a traumatogenic event and the culture of the succeeding period as trapped in the state of the ‘post-’. In this paper I will take post-socialist theories of cultural trauma as my starting point and test them against a number of case studies, both musical and more broadly cultural. I will then consider the double-edged nature of the “post-traumatic” narrative which can be utilised by both the supporters and opponents of the current political order in Russia, and the difficulties this creates for Western observers.

CCPS Concert. Avant Jazz from Poland: Free Improvisations by Mikołaj Trzaska and Macio Moretti (February 20, 2021 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/80778 80778-20791330@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 20, 2021 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Copernicus Center for Polish Studies

The Copernicus Center for Polish Studies presents a concert streamed from Warsaw featuring two of the finest innovative progressive musicians in Poland, which has become one of the most important centers of jazz in Europe. This concert was organized to illustrate the lecture by Maciej Lewenstein on “Free Improvisation and Jazz Avant-Garde in Poland: From Tomasz Stańko to Mikołaj Trzaska,” that will be broadcast on Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 12 PM. Trzaska first performed in Ann Arbor in 2010 in a duet with the magnificent trombonist Steve Swell at the Kerrytown Concert House, and returned in 2013 as the leader of Shofar, a trio that reinvents traditional Jewish music though free improvisation.

Mikołaj Trzaska—saxophonist, bass clarinetist, and film score composer—grew out of yass, a socio-artistic movement that brazenly challenged the rigidity of the institutionalized mainstream Polish jazz environment during the 1980s and 1990s. Free from any specific doctrine and open to all forms of artistic expression, the musicians successfully impacted the jazz scene in the country. Trzaska was the co-founder of the most important yass group—the celebrated Miłość ensemble that lasted, off and on, from 1988 to 2002, and the of the equally creative Łoskot, founded in 1993. Although the impetus of yass faded away many years ago, Trzaska's status remained and he went on to become one of the main leaders of the Polish scene, working as well with the top tier of international improvisors. After the yass period, he recorded a few concentrated quieter albums with the renowned Oleś brothers bass/drum duo. Trzaska has accompanied poets such as Marcin Świetlicki and Jurii Andrukhovych, and created musical-literary projects with the renowned Polish writer/journalist/critic Andrzej Stasiuk. Today, he works with many groups, including his own international trio Volumen, Ken Vandermark’s Resonance Ensemble, Magic with Joe McPhee, and the unique trio Shofar with Raphael Rogiński and Macio Moretti, which explores unique new improvisational perspectives on traditional Jewish music. He has also established himself as a major award-winning film music composer, working with the director Wojciech Smarzowski. But his main focus of self-realization is grounded in radical free jazz: he travels the world cooperating with some of the world’s major improvisors such as Peter Brötzmann, Joe McPhee, and Ken Vandermark.

Macio Moretti is a drummer and bassist (and occasionally a poor singer and even poorer guitar player) who works in many genres, from avant metal to jazz. He has founded or co-founded so many musical groups and organizations that it is practically impossible to count them, but bands such as Mitch & Mitch and LXMP, as well as the recording label Lado ABC, might be the most important of them. With these aforementioned bands he has had the pleasure of recording and releasing records with major artists such as Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Felix Kubin, Clayton Thomas, Kassin, and Zbigniew Wodecki. Besides all this, he is also an award-winning graphic designer, the father of two, a bread maniac, and has absolutely no interest in motorization.

This concert is presented in partnership with the Michigan Theater, and registration is available at https://www.michtheater.org/avant-jazz-poland/

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

Say Her Name…Too

This will be a discussion moderated by Dr. Antonio C. Cuyler and Professor Lawrence M. Jackson about the spaces that lie between Dance and Social Activism. This event will feature a screen dance viewing of Dance artist Lawrence M. Jackson’s work, “Say Her Name…Too." A short screen dance, this work will combine cinematic elements with choreography and explores the lives of 5 Black women who died at the hands of law enforcement. The goal of this work is to bring awareness to the often-invisible names and stories of Black women and girls who have been victimized by racist police violence. Black women have been killed by the police at alarming rates, though we rarely hear their names. Knowing their names is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for lifting up their stories which in turn provides a much clearer view of the wide-ranging circumstances that make Black women’s bodies disproportionately subject to police violence. To lift up their stories, and illuminate police violence against Black women, we need to know who they are, how they lived, and why they suffered at the hands of police…this film aims to do just that…

Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

In The Globally Familiar Ethiraj Gabriel Dattatreyan traces how the rapid development of information and communication technologies in India has created opportunities for young people to creatively explore their gendered, classed, and racialized subjectivities in and through transnational media worlds. His ethnography focuses on a group of diverse young, working-class men in Delhi as they take up the African diasporic aesthetics and creative practices of hip hop. Dattatreyan shows how these aspiring b-boys, MCs, and graffiti writers fashion themselves and their city through their online and offline experimentations with hip hop, thereby accessing new social, economic, and political opportunities while acting as consumers, producers, and influencers in global circuits of capitalism. In so doing, Dattatreyan outlines how the hopeful, creative, and vitally embodied practices of hip hop offer an alternative narrative of urban place-making in "digital" India.

Organized By: Residential College

Join us for a lecture and discussion with distinguished acoustic bassist, Marion Hayden on Thursday, March 11th at 6 pm EST!

The city of Detroit's rich musical history has forever shaped popular music in the United States. The migration of jazz musicians to Detroit in the 1920s and 1930s caused the area to develop its own thriving music scene. By the 1960s, the area became known for the first black owned record label, Motown. Today, the name "Motown" is synonymous with funk and soul music.

Detroit was home to some of the most important events of the 1960s and 1970s Civil Rights Movement. Consequently, jazz musicians in Detroit have witnessed music's role in shaping race relations within the city and across the United States.

Join us for this lecture and discussion, where Marion Hayden will tell of her experiences as a bassist in Detroit. With her deep knowledge of the city's musical history, learn how Motown and jazz were musical vanguards in altering to the social landscape of Detroit, Michigan, and the United States.


>> About Marion

Born in Detroit, MI, a crucible of jazz, Marion Hayden is one of the nation’s finest proponents of the acoustic bass. Mentored by master trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, Hayden began performing jazz at the age of 15. She has performed with such diverse luminaries as Bobby McFerrin, Nancy Wilson, Geri Allen, Regina Carter, Steve Turre, Lester Bowie, David Allen Grier, James Carter, Dorothy Donegan, Joe Williams, Lionel Hampton, Frank Morgan, Jon Hendricks, Hank Jones, Bobby Hutcherson, Larry Willis, Vanessa Rubin, Sheila Jordan, Mulgrew Miller, Annie Ross and many others. She is a co-founder of the touring jazz ensemble Straight Ahead- the first all woman jazz ensemble signed to Atlantic Records. She is a member of the Detroit International Jazz Festival All-Star Ambassadors touring ensemble.

Widely recognized as a standard bearer of culture and artistic history, Hayden received a 2019 Art X Grant and a Creators of Culture Grant for original musical works. She was Artistic Director for a 2018 Knight Arts Foundation Grant encouraging young women in jazz. In 2016 Hayden was honored for her work as a performer and educator with the prestigious Kresge Artist Fellowship- a 1 year fellowship and grant award given an elite group of creative artists. She was the recipient of a 2016 Jazz Hero Award.- a national award given by the Jazz Journalists Association- recognizing people who have made a significant contribution through their artistry and community engagement.

As an arts advocate, Hayden has served as Grant Panelist for the Detroit Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs, Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs, Art-Ops and the Highland Park Cultural Commission. She also serves as panelist or consultant for South Arts, Detroit Sound Conservancy, Charles Wright Museum of African American History, the Kresge Foundation, Jazz Education Network and Society of the Culturally Concerned.

Hayden holds faculty positions in the Jazz Studies Departments at University of Michigan and Oakland University. Hayden is the Bass instructor for the Geri Allen Jazz Camp, Newark, NJ. , and in 2021 will join the faculty at Centrum Jazz, Port Townsend, WA.

“It has been a privilege and a gift to learn and experience music in Detroit. The informal music education here is both thorough and rigorous and includes arranging, composing and production. The mentoring I received from the men and women in this music community was critical to my development as a creative artist. It instilled in me a sense of deep reverence and respect for music traditions, but also a fearlessness and openness about bringing those traditions forward in an original and authentic way. I express this creative openness through the projects and collaborations I engage in.”

CSEAS Lecture Series. Tradition Never Dies: “Lắng nghe,” Active Listening, and Activism in Contemporary Vietnam (March 19, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80035 80035-20548979@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 19, 2021 12:00pm

Tradition always seems to be dying, or so say “the experts.” Scholars at academic conferences, diplomats at UNESCO, and government policy makers have belabored tradition’s downfall for decades as evidence of the necessity of intervention. Frequently, however, these interventions hide ulterior motives—for scholars, codifying traditions advance their careers; for diplomats, supporting the documentation of art bolsters tradition for consumption; for policy makers, selectively supporting certain practices over others serves nation-building strategies. These experts also tend to ignore the voices of practitioners themselves. Had these experts listened, they would have understood that tradition remains firmly tied to everyday life and even activism.

In this presentation, I examine how “tradition” lives a vibrant life in contemporary Vietnam and suggest that we retire the trite adage that tradition is dying. Tradition is tested, certainly, and frequently is reframed and revised; indeed, one genre of southern Vietnamese opera, cải lương, includes renovation (cải) in the genre name. Television shows, films, and popular music present many examples of how tradition does not simply inspire but is actively practiced and carried forward. In the television show Tài tử miệt vườn (Countryside Amateur), singers of southern Vietnamese traditional music from all walks of life receive praise from a panel of established singers and teach traditional music to viewers within a flashy gameshow format. In the film Song Lang (2018), director Leon Le tells a love story of two men in the 1980s and uses sounds of cải lương to give voice to LGBT voices on screen. In the music video for “BET ON ME” by the rapper Suboi, sounds of the đàn tranh zither mix with a Beyoncé-like delivery of lyrics to advocate for particular kinds of listening in an increasingly modernized Vietnam. All of these examples advance activism through tradition for forms of living to which we need to listen more closely.

Dr. Alexander M. Cannon is Lecturer in Music at the University of Birmingham (UK), where he teaches classes in ethnomusicology, critical musicology, and the traditional musics of Asia. He further serves as Co-editor of Ethnomusicology Forum, the journal of the British Forum for Ethnomusicology (BFE), and sits on the BFE Committee. He formerly served as Book Reviews Editor for the Yearbook of Traditional Music and as Secretary of the Board for the Society for Asian Music. An alumnus of the University of Michigan, he holds an MA and PhD in ethnomusicology from the School of Music, Theatre and Dance, where he wrote a dissertation on the southern Vietnamese traditional music genre đờn ca tài tử (music of talented amateurs). He recently completed a book manuscript titled “A Music Without a Name”: Creativity from Seed to Ruin in Southern Vietnam, and also has an article forthcoming in the journal Ethnomusicology. He has previously published in Ethnomusicology, Ethnomusicology Forum, Asian Music, and the Journal of Vietnamese Studies.

In March 2001, the University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies celebrated its grand opening, inviting the community to participate in an evening of lectures, performances and food at the International Institute. This month, the Center begins the celebration of the 20th anniversary with a virtual panel discussion featuring three alumni of our graduate programs, who represent the diverse disciplinary fields, research interests and life work of our community. Each panelist will speak briefly about their current work, including fresh insights into the field of Performance Studies and ethnography, and then there will be a Q&A.

Mike Rahfaldt (PhD, Ethnomusicology ‘07) is the Executive Director of Children’s Radio Foundation, where he oversees the international operations from Cape Town, South Africa. Before joining the Children’s Radio Foundation in 2006, Michal taught media and anthropology at the University of Cape Town. As a journalist, he has contributed to Public Radio International, BBC World Service, NPR, and the New York Times.

Lani Teves (PhD, American Culture ‘12) is an Associate Professor in Women’s Studies at University of Hawaiʻi. She has written about Hawaiian hip-hop, film, and sexuality in the Pacific. She specializes in theorizing alternate forms of Kanaka Maoli gender performance and recognition politics. Her approach is informed by Indigenous feminist methodologies and ʻŌiwi epistemologies. Teves is the author of *Defiant Indigeneity: The Politics of Hawaiian Performance *(UNC Press 2018).

Masimba Hwati (MFA, Art, ‘19) is a multidisciplinary artist working in the intersections of sculpture video performance and sound. Hwati explores the transformation and evolution of knowledge systems that are indigenous to his own background whilst experimenting with the symbolism and perceptions attached to cultural objects, expressed as an art movement known as "The Energy of Objects". His work has been shown in Germany, France, Canada, London, the US, Australia, and Southern Africa. In 2015, he represented Zimbabwe at the 56th edition of the Venice Biennale in Italy.

In March 2001, the University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) celebrated its grand opening, inviting the community to participate in an evening of lectures, performances and food at the International Institute. As part of the ongoing virtual celebration of this milestone, CWPS invites four esteemed U-M faculty members to reflect on the Center’s founding, its contributions to increasing the diversity of arts and research at University of Michigan, and to imagine the possibilities for the next twenty years.

Kwasi Ampene, Associate Professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, is a scholar and practitioner of ethnomusicology. He specializes in the rich musical traditions of the Akan people of West Africa. His research interests include the performing arts as individually and collectively created and experienced, the performance of historical and social memory, politics, ideologies, values, and religious philosophy in Akan court music. Professor Ampene’s latest book, *Asante Court Music and Verbal Arts in Ghana: The Porcupine and the Gold Stool*, was published on June 30th, 2020 by Routledge. Dr. Ampene was Director of the Center for World Performance Studies from 2011-2016.

Lester Monts is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Music (ethnomusicology). From 1993 until 2014, he served as senior vice provost for academic affairs and senior counselor to the president for the arts, diversity, and undergraduate affairs. He is currently director of the Michigan Musical Heritage Project that seeks to capture on film the state’s folk, ethnic, and immigrant music traditions. Monts received a bachelor’s degree in music education from Arkansas Polytechnic College, a master’s degree in trumpet performance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and a doctorate in ethnomusicology from the University of Minnesota.

Mbala Nkanga is an Associate Professor of Theatre and head of the minor in Global Theatre & Ethnic Studies. A native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he taught directing, scenography and dramaturgical analysis at the Institut National des Arts in Kinshasa (DRC) beginning in 1979. He has directed plays in various professional companies there, such as Bernard Dadié’s Béatrice du Congo, Wole Soyinka’s A Dance of the Forests, and Réné Kalisky’s Aïda Vaincue. Dr. Nkanga received his PhD in Performance Studies from Northwestern University, and has led the Center for World Performance Studies graduate seminar since 1999.

Robin Wilson is an Associate Professor of Dance at the University of Michigan, on the faculty since 1995, and is best known as a founding member of New York’s Urban Bush Women. In 1995, she was awarded a New York Performance Award for the collective work of the Urban Bush Women from 1984-1994. Her studio teaching is informed by years of study in various mid-twentieth century modern dance and Afro-Caribbean folkloric dance techniques. She performed in New York for more than a decade with such choreographers as Dianne McIntyre, Kevin Wynn, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar. Professor Wilson served on the Center for World Performance Studies faculty advisory committee for over a decade.

If you require 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.

Going for Baroque (April 6, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79953 79953-20517560@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 6, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The pun is old and often used but it makes for a good title: “GOING FOR BAROQUE”. The great triumvirate of composers during this musical period all born in the year 1685, is Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti and we hear their music often. However, this time was particularly rich in composers.

Instructor Louis Nagel will spend some time looking at other giants of the Baroque as well as the works of these three titans. Such composers as Frescobaldi, Dowland, Couperin, and Telemann deserve attention as they wrote some remarkably beautiful and forward looking music. He plans to illustrate at the piano as well as show on line (or if we are back to real live performances by late spring, on a “boom box”) samples of these composers. They are worthy of our attention and in many cases wrote astonishingly beautiful music.

The study group will meet Tuesdays from April 6 through April 27. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

In this 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. For this session, Dr. Ramón H. Rivera-Servera will discuss his recent research in Puerto Rico, including an innovative outreach initiative to assist Puerto Rican artists in the aftermath of hurricanes Maria and Irma. Participants can learn about this research ahead of the session by visiting the Mellon Foundation blog: https://mellon.org/shared-experiences-blog/after-storm/

Ramón H. Rivera-Servera is chair of the Department of Performance Studies and the Department of Theatre in the School of Communication at Northwestern University, and was recently appointed as the next dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on 20th and 21st Century performance in North America and the Caribbean with special emphasis on the ways categories of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality are negotiated across national borders through migratory circuits of circulation and exchange. His work documents a wide array of performance practices ranging from theatre and concert dance to social dance, popular music, fashion, and speech.

He is author of *Performing Queer Latinidad: Dance, Sexuality, Politics* (University of Michigan Press, 2012), a study of the role performance played in the development of Latina/o queer publics in the United States from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s.

He is currently completing a book manuscript, *Reggaetón’s Queer Turn: Sexuality, Abstraction, and Contemporary Art in the Circum-Caribbean*, which pursues feminist and queer uptakes of the popular music and dance cultures of reggaetón in circum-Caribbean contemporary art to theorize the role of black aesthetics in the sexual cultural politics of the Spanish speaking Caribbean and its diaspora. He is also conducting fieldwork and archival research towards two other projects: *Exhibiting Performance: Race, Museum Cultures, and the Live Event*, which looks at the ways race has been collected and exhibited in North America and the Caribbean since the mid-1990s and *Choreographing the Latina/o Post-Modern: Puerto Rican Moves in the New York Dance Avant-Garde*, a cultural history of Puerto Rican participation in the New York City experimental dance scene since the 1980s.

If you require 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.

For two weeks every February, Trinity Laban’s usual creative atmosphere gets supercharged. There are no lectures, no classes, no assignments. That’s because it’s time for CoLab, their eccentric two‑week festival of creativity and innovation. For the 2021 CoLab, 10 SMTD students spent a week at Trinity Laban working alongside students to devise and perform interdisciplinary works through the city of London. Join SMTD faculty supervisor Jonathan Kuuskoski and a member of the Trinity Laban team to learn more about the CoLab experience, understand how SMTD students are selected for this opportunity, and share our hopes for what SMTD participation might look like in the February 2022.

Ken Fischer and Wynton Marsalis: Everybody In, Nobody Out (April 9, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83246 83246-21322431@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 9, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Exploring community connection through the performing arts, UMS President Emeritus Ken Fischer and jazz musician Wynton Marsalis come together in a conversation moderated by Lisa Richards Toney, president and CEO of the Association of Performing Arts Professionals.

Marsalis wrote the introduction to Fischer's book, Everybody in, Nobody Out (Michigan Publishing, 2020), which offers a reflection on the power of the performing arts to engage and enrich communities — not by handing down cultural enrichment from on high, but by meeting communities where they live and helping them preserve cultural heritage, incubate talent, and find ways to make community voices heard. In this talk, Fischer and Marsalis will also discuss the important relationship between presenter and artist in moving the artist's work forward.

Ken Fischer is President Emeritus of the University Musical Society (UMS) of the University of Michigan (U-M), a position he held from June 1, 1987 to June 30, 2017. UMS, an independent multidisciplinary performing arts presenter with a long and deep affiliation with U-M, is in the center of the Ann Arbor campus and offers 60-90 concerts each season, performed in up to nine University and community venues. On September 10, 2015, Fischer accepted the 2014 National Medal of Arts on behalf of UMS from President Obama at the White House. UMS is the first university presenter to receive the National Medal of Arts, which is the highest award given to artists and arts patrons by the United States government. Under Fischer’s leadership UMS greatly expanded and diversified its programming and its audiences; deepened its engagement with the University and southeast Michigan communities; created exemplary partnerships with leading corporations, arts organizations, educational institutions, and community organizations; and received significant endowment grants awarded by the leading foundations in the arts. In December 2019, Fischer received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan.

Wynton Marsalis is a world-renowned trumpeter, bandleader and composer, and a leading advocate of American culture. He presently serves as Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center and Director of Jazz Studies at The Juilliard School. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1961, Marsalis began his classical training on trumpet at age 12, entered The Juilliard School at age 17, and soon thereafter joined Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. He recorded more than 103 jazz and classical recordings, which have won nine GRAMMY® awards. In 1983, he became the first and only artist to win both classical and jazz GRAMMYs® in the same year, repeating the distinction the following year. Today, Wynton is the only artist ever to win Grammy Awards® in five consecutive years (1983-1987). In 1997, Wynton became the first jazz artist to be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer in Music for his oratorio Blood on the Fields. Marsalis has received honorary doctorates from over 25 of America’s top academic institutions including Columbia, Harvard, Howard, Princeton and Yale. In 2001, he was appointed Messenger of Peace by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan. In 2005 Wynton received The National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists by the United States government.

Lisa Richards Toney is the President & CEO of the Association of Performing Arts Professionals. Richards Toney brings more than 20 years of experience leading a range of small and large arts and humanities organizations, managing change and building stability. Most recently she served as the Executive Director of the Abramson Scholarship Foundation, and prior to that, as the Interim Executive Director and Deputy Director of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. She was also the first Executive Director of the Debbie Allen Dance Academy and Director of Literature to Life for The American Place Theatre. She currently serves on the boards of Performing Arts Alliance and Mosaic Theatre Company of DC, co-chair of the Jack and Jill DC Chapter Jumoke Black History Festival, and on the Advisory Board of the American University Graduate Program in Arts Administration. She holds an M.A. in educational theater from NYU with coursework in arts administration and a B.A. as a presidential scholar from Spelman College.

This event is co-presented by PBS Books and Detroit Public Television, with support from UMS and the Association of Performing Arts Professionals.

Global Connections: An Investigation into How to Bring the Traditional Rituals of Tujia and Miao Chinese Ethnic Minorities to Contemporary Society through Theatre and Performance (April 15, 2021 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82073 82073-21016992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 15, 2021 6:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Session Guest: Jay Peng Zhang, vocalist, choreographer, Professor- Art College, Shanghai University of Sport, Hong Kong
Faculty Lead: Amy Chavasse

Folk singer and modern dancer, Jay Peng Zhang, is from the Tujia and Miao ethnic minority groups of Western Hunan Province. Jay’s research maintains a focus on rituals and their inspirational role in his contemporary practice. Culturally rooted songs and traditions from his native place Yongshun (Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Western Hunan) form the core of his work. Jay will share his research through a performative talk including movement and songs from Miao and Tujia minorities as well as wearing the traditional attire he inherited from his grandmother. As one of the few remaining practitioners of traditional Tujia songs and aware of the recent policies of tourism and entertainment, Jay raises questions about authenticity and the rapidly changing conditions of Miao and Tujia minorities in China today. Peng Zhang will share his research in song, performed live via ZOOM, and provide context for his examination of these cultural artifacts in his lecture. Videos and images from his home land in Western Hunan will amplify the exchange.

A Band for all Ages (May 19, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79828 79828-20507635@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, May 19, 2021 3:30pm

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The Little Bands Music School is an innovative music program in which students learn music from a constructivist perspective. The program serves all ages including children as young as four and adults.

The foundation of the program is the multi-instrumental band program. Students join a 5-piece band. The instrumentation of the band is piano, guitar, bass, drums and voice. Students follow a detailed curriculum of songs and compose their own songs. Every student learns every song on every instrument. This method is designed to facilitate an environment in which students understand music from different perspectives, learn to collaborate, and experience what goes into a piece of music and how to compose their own music.

Teachers in Little Bands School work with private students and students in public and private schools in Southeast Michigan. We particularly love helping people who have always wanted to play an instrument and never had the chance.

Presenter Joshua Grekin is a musician and educator with experience teaching all ages and genres. Trained as a jazz trumpet player, he is also proficient on piano, guitar, bass, drums, and other orchestral instruments. Joshua has a BA in music from the Berklee College of Music, a Masters from the Manhattan School of Music and is currently finishing his PhD at Oakland University.

He is the creator and director of the Little Bands School, a tech-enabled music education program which offers a unique and innovative K-12 instrumental curriculum. A songwriter as well, Joshua writes music for musicals, film, commercials, bands, and the Little Bands School curriculum.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the presentation will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the event.

Featuring such showtune standards as “Turn Back, O Man,” “Day by Day,” and “Learn Your Lessons Well”, Godspell is a tribute to vaudeville, breathing parable, and protest piece all at the same time. Prepare ye for the Godspell you know and love from 50 years ago, but told through the perspective of these incredible young theater-makers.

*I am America too.* With these powerful words, Afro-American poet Langston Hughes expressed the right of coloured people to be an equal part of American culture and society. As a member of the »Harlem Renaissance«, a dynamic movement initiated by Afro-American artists in the 1920s, Hughes became a true classic. With his deeply humanistic attitude, his intellect, sense of humour and incorruptible integrity, he produced works that remain timeless and touching to this day. The concert programme *Langston Hughes: Singing Harlem in Europe* features musical settings of his texts by composers like Wilhelm Grosz, Florence Price and Leonard Bernstein, showing that humanity and truthfulness know no bounds – neither then, nor now.

»I know why the caged bird sings« – it sings of freedom in order not to lose hope. It sings in order to feel the life beyond the bars of its cage. To encourage itself and others. And this is how American composers and authors with African roots sing and write to this day: their subject matter is discrimination and injustice, pride and dignity – but love and separation as well, mourning and joy, belief and hope.

In the second part of the Celebration of Black Music, several generations of these artists have their say: from Florence Price and William Grant Still to Tyshawn Sorey and B. E. Boykin. The concert presents a many-voiced panorama of black music in its countless and fascinating facets.

The final concert, *Hope in the Night,* offers us messages of strength and resilience through operatic excerpts, spirituals, and instrumental music by composers William Grant Still, Valerie Coleman, George Walker, Margaret Bonds, Hale Smith, and William Dawson.

Organized By: ArtsEngine

This is a milestone in a journey that brings together music and neurobiology. Through a collaboration among musicians, neurobiologists, sound engineers, composers, scientists, humans, and nematodes, we explore questions inspired by neurobiology experiments with the invertebrate model organism Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). How does memory sound? What constitutes the musical background of a memory? How is a maze represented musically? What is the relationship between stochasticity in spatial navigation and improvisation in musical navigation? How can a human performer converse with a tiny invertebrate animal lost in space? How can we learn to create music guided by an experimental animal? How can an invertebrate creature learn to navigate guided by music? And, ultimately, how do the founding definitions of our certainties shape up when we shift our frame of thought into a new paradigm?

Sunday, September 26 | 2-3pm & 3-4pm (each show is a 30-minute installation followed by a 30-minute performance)

Department of Musical Theatre

Book, Music, & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa (BM ‵87, music education and voice)
Directed by MiMi Scardulla
Music Direction by Jason DeBord

The setting is the roaring 1920s. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the arrival of a slew of colorful guests living life on the edge, Queenie's wandering eye lands on a striking man named Mr. Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs' jealousy, which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned, Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who's been shot?

A steamy prohibition tale, steamrolling and roaring its way across the stage, The Wild Party was an Off-Broadway gem that garnered an array of industry accolades, including Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Obie awards. Based on Joseph Moncure March's 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written, courtesy of SMTD alumnus Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, Big Fish).
