It has quite a story behind it! Grammy-winning producer/engineer/filmmaker Mark Johnson founded Playing For Change on the simple idea that the world can be connected through music. Starting in Santa Monica\, California\, Mark captured a performance of “Stand By Me” by legendary street blues singer Roger Ridley\, then he took the show on the road. In New Orleans\, he put headphones on Grandpa Elliott\, who harmonized with Ridley’s soulful rendition of the song. And he didn’t stop there. Using innovative mobile technology and traveling the world\, they filmed and recorded more than 100 musicians\, largely outdoors\, in parks\, plazas and promenades\, in doorways\, on cobblestone streets and amid hilly pueblos. Each captured performance created a new mix in which essentially the artists are all performing together\, even though they're hundreds or thousands of miles apart. The Playing for Change has continued and evolved through worldwide concert tours musicians from around the globe\, many of whom have appeared in the project's videos. The PFC Band has performed on NBC’s The Tonight Show\, and the two-disc CD/DVD set \"Playing for Change: Songs Around the World\" has reached the top ten on Billboard magazine's pop chart. The project’s deep emotional resonance\, combined with the muscle of the Internet and sheer word-of-mouth\, has struck a profoundly enduring chord worldwide. Playing for Change is a musical story of hope\, joy\, and redemption. The Playing for Change organization has just released its third album\, \"A Better Place.\"\n UID:16794-1199395@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16794 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,playing for change,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

They perform Trudy Kane’s own transcription of the Fauré Sonata\; the Gieseking “Sonatine” and the Frank “Sonata”. American record Guide called this “(a) fine recital” and said “Kane uses variety in articulation and phrasing\, instead of sheer power\, to make these pieces energetic”. The English “Opera” magazine in reviewing a 1997 performance of Bizet’s “Carmen” said “The high point of the evening was the third-act prelude\, when the flute solo showed astonishing breath control and was almost unbearably pretty”. Miss Kane has been a frequent solo artist. Her appearances include recitals and chamber music in New York\, Delaware and Maine\, solos at the two New York Flute Conventions\, the New York and Long Island Flute Clubs and with orchestras in New Jersey and Long Island.

That first hit. It really does a whammy to you. And if you're like me you can find yourself chasing the San Francisco dragon for the rest of your life. That's what the record is about.\" \n\nNamed for the ill-fated rock club of the same name\, Temple Beautiful was \"made in San Francisco\, by San Franciscans about San Francisco.\" Roy Loney\, vocalist and wildman in legendary Bay Area band The Flamin' Groovies contributes guest vocals to the title track.\n\nOne of the driving forces behind cult heroes Green on Red and the influential L.A. Paisley Underground scene in the 1980s\, Prophet's creative mold was actually cast in San Francisco. Recalls Prophet\, \"'Temple Beautiful' is the name of a long-closed rock and roll club which was between Bill Graham's iconic Fillmore Ballroom and the tragic storefront church founded by the Reverend Jim Jones. It's where I saw my first gigs.\" \n\nInspired by current San Francisco artists\, Prophet felt compelled to pay tribute to the history and weirdness that brought him to the city nearly 30 years ago. \"There's a kind of rock and roll psych renaissance going on in this town at the moment with bands like Thee Oh Sees\, Girls\, The Fresh and Onlys\, Kelley Stoltz and Sonny and the Sunset's. I'm very encouraged by all this stuff going on here.\" \n\nPart love letter and part unsentimental tour\, \"Temple Beautiful\" attempts to capture San Francisco in all it's forms: romantic port-of-call\, bohemian utopia\, but even more so\, an often unforgiving pioneer outpost filled with the freaks and characters not welcome in America's heartland. And musically\, there is no doubt that San Francisco is one of the country's most enduring scenes\, home to decade after decade of classic artists and albums. \"Temple Beautiful\" is at once a look back at the inspirations that spawned them and the next installment in its discography. \n\nIn addition to the two amazing albums \"Soap & Water\" and \" ¡Let Freedom Ring!\" over the past several years\, Chuck's music has been heard in hit television series \"True Blood\" (HBO)\, \"Californication\" (Showtime) and \"Sons of Anarchy\" (FX). Prophet also co-wrote all the songs on Alejandro Escovedo's critically acclaimed album \"Real Animal.\" UID:17115-1200398@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17115 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:chuck prophet,chuck prophet and the mission express,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

She grew up the child of a singer in a band and began playing her mother's vintage Martin guitar when other girls were dressing dolls. She went from being the teenage toast of her hometown of Houston to sleeping in her van in Austin amid heaps of critical acclaim for her fine recordings: \"Alcohol & Salvation\,\" \"Bloodless Revolution\,\" and most recently \"Miss Understood.\" Along with the guitar and the multitude of other instruments she learned to play–trumpet\, accordion\, piano\, mandolin\, lap steel–Wonderland's ability to whistle remains most unusual. Whistling is a uniquely vocal art seldom invoked in modern music\, yet it's among the most spectacular talents the human voice possesses.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Take a trio of classically trained dueling fiddlers\, toss in a rhythm guitar\, a banjo and the occasional funky accordion\, then power it with the driving rhythm of a world percussionist\, and you've got the ingredients for a show you won't soon forget. Scythian's high-energy\, adrenaline-peddling\, interactive brand of music is the result of their origins as street performers and has one goal in mind - to get people up on their feet and dancing. Their repertoire ranges from traditional and contemporary Celtic and folk music to the alluring and dramatic strains of Gypsy and Eastern European tunes\, and then crosses back over the border to pick up some good old-fashioned bluegrass licks. Scythian is: Josef Crosby (fiddle/bass)\, Alexander (fiddle/mandolin) & Danylo Fedoryka (accordion/guitar)\, Ben-David Warner (fiddle/banjo) and Tim Hepburn (percussion).\n UID:17116-1200399@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/17116 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,scythian,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.
