SUMMARY:Music of Faith and Hope from Uganda and Haiti
DESCRIPTION:Music of Faith and Hope from Uganda and Haiti is a concert of string quartet concert by Haitian and Ugandan composers. \n\nThe program includes Rudy Perrault‘s Exodus String Quartet. His writing is heavily influenced by the culture of his native Haiti\, and he portrays through music the story of being forced to leave Haiti under circumstances less fortunate than his own. The work is dedicated to people around the world forced from their homelands\, especially those persecuted in their new country. The work ends on a tentative but hopeful note that the lives of the children of the work’s dedicatees will be better. \nAlso included is Justinian Tamusuza’s On the Way of the Cross\, which celebrates the Uganda Martyrs. The Uganda Martyrs are the first Black African saints canonized by the Catholic Church. In the 1880s\, the vile king Mwanga II invited religious men to his court to argue the merits of their religions. When his authority became compromised because men in his court converted to Christianity\, he had them put to death. According to legend\, they were so happy to be spiritually freed by their new faith that they accepted their fates peacefully and even joyously\, so happy were they to have found this new religion. The Uganda Martyrs are widely celebrated in Uganda and through Africa to this day.\n Tamusuza‘s work extensively incorporates elements of the music of the Buganda cultural group from which he hails\, imitating its instruments and using its rhythms\, scales\, and melodies.\nSabrina Jean Louis is a 21-year-old Haitian cellist who is largely self-taught as a composer. Her beautiful piece Allo Seigneur (“Hello Lord”) is a moving and personal testament of her deep Christian faith.\n\nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

SUMMARY:Música Colombiana with special guest The Mulati Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The program features compositions and folk song arrangements by Colombian composers\, including the song “A Mother to Her Son” by early-20th century composer Eustasio Rosales\, which was recently unearthed by The Mulati Ensemble in the composer’s great-grandson’s basement. Rosales came to Chicago from Colombia and is thought to be Chicago’s first Hispanic composer. While in his lifetime his music was performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, after his death\, his non-musical heirs put his music in storage\, where it has remained until 2015\, when Rosales’ opera was given its posthumous world premiere. In addition to other works by early 20th century composer Luis Calvo\, the program will feature world premiere performances of works by contemporary Colombian composers Andrés Posada\, Juan David Osorio\, and Jose Revelo. The program will also feature world premiere performances of folk song arrangements by Diego Alejandro Osorio and Juan David Osorio which will highlight the richness of Colombia’s regional folk music and dance traditions. \nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

SUMMARY:The Third Annual CELEBRATING RESILIENCE: Music From the Unvanquished Bahá'í University of Iran
DESCRIPTION:The third annual “Celebrating Resilience: Music from the Unvanquished Bahá’í University of Iran” features music composed or performed by former music teachers and students who risked their safety to attend the Bahá’í Institute for Higher Education. This grassroots school was created because the Iranian government doesn’t allows Bahá’ís in Iran to enter official colleges or universities – part of a pattern of vicious government discrimination against Iranian Bahá’ís. In response\, these brave musicians have created music that celebrates their faith and perseverance. Celebrate their journey with us and enjoy their beautiful music in a beautiful venue.\nThis program will include the world premiere performance of “Hope\,” a piano trio by Badie Khaleghian.\nThe event marks the debut of a 6-month residency of Crossing Borders Music at the Chicago Cultural Center. This concert will take place in Preston Bradley Hall \nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
