SUMMARY:Mourning\, Refuge\, and Unity: String Quartets from the Arab World
DESCRIPTION:Crossing Borders Music shares musical stories of mourning\, refuge\, and unity through string quartets by composers of the Levant\, or “Arab World.” \n\nThe program shares music from the Dozan World catalog curated by Palestinian Jordanian Canadian musician Shireen Abu Khader.

Lebanese composer Elie Kallab wrote Tango al Maboor\, Dozan World explains\, during “the evacuation of the house and leaving the [al Maboor] neighbourhood\, which meant the end of an era of profound experiences that turned into indelible memories.” \n  \nDon’t miss this incredibly moving program of mourning\, refuge\, solace\, and unity. \nFREE and open to the public! \nThis program is made possible in part by the Paul M Angell Family Foundation\, the Cliff Dwellers Arts Foundation\, and the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.

SUMMARY:Composers with Disabilities and Momenta Dance!
DESCRIPTION:This Mother’s Day weekend\, celebrate the art of composers with disabilities from around the world! This program\, presented in collaboration with the UIC Disability Cultural Center\, is free and open to everyone. It includes the world premiere of “Consolation of Persephone\,” created in collaboration with Momenta Dance Company\, with choreography commissioned of Connor Cornelius\, music commissioned of Karen Brown\, and danced by Ladonna Freidheim and her daughter Hana Javed!

Momenta was founded by Stephanie Clemens\, Larry Ippel and James Tenuta in 1983\, and in 2003 expanded its repertory to include physically integrated works for dancers with and without disabilities. \nLadonna Freidheim\, founder of ReinventAbility\, is passionate about inclusion\, dance\, science\, and joy! An award winning leader in the arts\, disability inclusion specialist\, and formally trained dancer; Ladonna grew up a bun-headed baby ballerina dancing around Chicago. After a degenerative disability ended her ballerina life\, she recovered from surgeries with future paralympic athletes who introduced her to disability culture. With the aid of braces and a cane or crutches she is able to navigate the world much of the time\, but it is Ladonna’s wheelchair that has restored her dancers soul. She currently performs with the MOMENTA Dance Company. Ladonna is honored to have received a 2023 Leadership in Dance Award and the Rhythm Within Award and has been nominated for 3Arts Awards in dance and education. Ladonna has served on a number of Boards of Directors\, currently for See Chicago Dance\, and is on the Chicago ArtsEd Leadership Committee. \nHana Angelina Freidheim Javed is a formally trained singer\, dancer\, and writer who attends the University of Chicago Lab High School. At only 17 years of age\, she has performed extensively at the Civic Opera House\, Symphony Center\, Harris Theater\, Navy Pier\, Ravinia and Millennium Park music festivals with the Lyric Opera\, Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, MOMENTA Dance Company\, and the Chicago Opera Theater. Hana is the much beloved only child of Ladonna Freidheim\, an Irish-Catholic Chicago born arts professional (bio above)\, and Adil Javed\, a Pakistani-Muslim born into abject poverty who immigrated to the US at ten years old\, going on to earn both an MD and PhD. Hana’s background and status as a person with a disability (a degenerative condition) inform and enrich her arts practice. \n\n\nCovid safety: Masking is encouraged\, and we will have extra masks available. More masking means more safety for immunocompromised members of our community.\n\nAccess information: \n\nCART (live captions) will be available for the program. Contact Tom Clowes at tom@crossingbordersmusic.org/773-442-2195 with any accessibility questions or requests. \n\n\nThe Halsted Street entrance to Student Center East (SCE) is equipped with automatic doors\, and the Illinois Rooms are accessible by elevator. \nThere is a drop-off area in front of SCE on Halsted Street\, and a pay parking lot with a number of ADA spots across the street at Halsted and Polk. SCE is closest to the Halsted bus\, with the Blue Line and a number of bus routes on Harrison Street nearby. \n\nThe nearest restrooms have ADA stalls and are gendered “men” and “women.” Please note that the doors are not automatic. Open-door restrooms and all-gender restrooms with ADA stalls are available in other areas of the building.

SUMMARY:Richès Dayiti: Rediscovered Haitian Piano Treasures with Marianne Parker
DESCRIPTION:Haitian composers have written piano music for centuries to show the international community they could write just as beautifully as any European composer\, and that Haitian and West African cultural influences were just as worthy of inclusion in piano music. But until now\, their works were suppressed in the Western classical music world. Hear Crossing Borders Music pianist Marianne Parker’s sensitive\, suave interpretations of her favorites from the Haitian piano music repertoire\, which she has tirelessly championed for many years. The performance includes music preserved through the painstaking work of the Société de recherche et de diffusion de la musique Haïtienne (Haitian Music Society).\nFree and open to the public!\nThis is Marianne’s FINAL performance with Crossing Borders Music\, and a chance for all of us to honor her astonishing artistry and great contributions to the CBM community over many\, many years!\nThanks to the Harold Washington Library for making this event possible. This season of Crossing Borders Music performances is made possible through the support of the Paul M Angell Family Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the New Music USA Organizational Development Fund\, the John R Halligan Fund\, and CliffDwellers Foundation.
