SUMMARY:Honoring Refugee Composers
DESCRIPTION:Crossing Borders Music honors refugees around the world in this performance of music written by or about refugees!\nHear the proud “Refugees Anthem” by Moutaz Arian. Be stirred by Tatev Amiryan’s “Tristesse\,” a homage to the famous Armenian musician Komitas. The piece expresses Komitas’ pain and sorrow as the Armenian Genocide forced him from his home and caused him to suffer a mental breakdown as he lived in exile for the rest of his life. Hear Ruth Schonthal’s String Quartet “In Memoriam Holocaust.” As an American Holocaust refugee\, Schonthal spent much of her life avoiding writing music about the Holocaust so as not to trivialize it. Late in her life\, she finally decided to write this piece to encourage its remembrance and memorialize its victims. Mahdis Kashani’s “And the Moses Drowned” is written in memory of Aylan Kurdi and all children who have died in war. Mahdis says\, “These children are innocent like Moses\, but without any savior.” Zvonimir Nagy’s exquisite “Fall\, Leaves\, Fall” and Miguel del Aguila’s exciting Presto II round out an intensely stirring program.\nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

SUMMARY:Untold Beauty of Haiti: a Piano Concert
DESCRIPTION:Crossing Borders Music and the CSO African-American Network present “Untold Beauty of Haiti: a Piano Concert”! \nThe performance will take place at The Club\, on the 8th Floor of the Chicago Symphony Center. \nThe performances’ compositions have been preserved by the Société de recherche et de diffusion de la musique haïtienne (SRDMH) (Society for the Research and Diffusion of Haitian Music) in Montreal\, archived by the Laboratory of World Music Research of the Université de Montréal\, and prepared into performance editions by Dr. Robert Grenier of SC State University. Pianist Marianne Parker will perform the program\, bringing to life the fruits of decades of scholarly work. \nThe program will include the Haitian méringue-inspired Quatre Danses (Four Dances) by late 19th/early 20th century composer Ludovic Lamothe. Lamothe was known as “Black Chopin” and “The Last of the Romantics” because of his affinity for Chopin\, and for his long\, romantic-style melodies and lush harmonies. The program also shares Nocturne No. 1 by Carmen Brouard. Brouard was a 20th century piano virtuoso and modernist composer. As a young musician\, she attended the Paris Conservatoire. She dedicated her Nocturne #1 to one of her piano students. The three movements of Edmond Saintonge’s Pages Intimes (Intimate Pages) show his emotional and romantic approach to composing. The movements’ titles translate as I. Hopelessness\, II. Melancholy\, Salon Mazurka\, and III. Sentimental Talk. In his Sonate Folklorique en Sol Majeure sur les Chansons Populaires d’Haiti (Sonata on Haitian Folk Songs in G Major)\, Emile Desamours quotes popular Haitian folk song melodies and incorporates also the syncopated\, dancing rhythms of Haitian folk music. Ending the program\, François Manigat’s Souvenir de Quinze Jours au Cap Haitien (Memories of Fifteen Days in Cap Haitien) reminisces about two enchating weeks the composer spent on Haiti’s northern coastal city. \nPianist Marianne Parker is a founding member of the L+M Duo\, which performs contemporary music for percussion and piano. Previously\, she served as Principal Pianist of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago\, where she studied under Chicago Symphony Orchestra Principal Pianist Mary Sauer. Ms. Parker previously studied at the Bösendorfer Piano Institute of Vienna under Krassimera Jordan\, and with pianists Wei-Han Su\, David Northington\, and David Brunell. \nAfterward\, continue the celebration of women in music as Katia and Marielle Labèque perform Bruch’s Concerto for Two Pianos with the CSO! \nTickets are $15\, or stay for the CSO concert for an unbeatable deal of $40 for the whole evening! Get tickets here!

SUMMARY:Richès Dayiti: Treasures of Haitian Piano Music
DESCRIPTION:“Richès Dayiti: Treasures of Haitian Piano Music” provides an intimate look at the mostly unknown beauty of Haitian piano music\, unknown to all but a handful of scholars for the last century. The performances’ compositions have been preserved by the Société de recherche et de diffusion de la musique haïtienne (SRDMH) (Society for the Research and Diffusion of Haitian Music) in Montreal\, archived by the Laboratory of World Music Research of the Université de Montréal\, and prepared into performance editions by Dr. Robert Grenier of SC State University\, who will introduce the music with spoken remarks. Pianist Marianne Parker will perform the program\, bringing to life the fruits of decades of scholarly work. \nThe program will include the Haitian méringue-inspired Quatre Danses (Four Dances) by late 19th/early 20th century composer Ludovic Lamothe. Lamothe was known as “Black Chopin” and “The Last of the Romantics” because of his affinity for Chopin\, and for his long\, romantic-style melodies and lush harmonies. The program also shares Nocturne No. 1 by Carmen Brouard. Brouard was a 20th century piano virtuoso and modernist composer. As a young musician\, she attended the Paris Conservatoire. She dedicated her Nocturne #1 to one of her piano students. The three movements of Edmond Saintonge’s Pages Intimes (Intimate Pages) show his emotional and romantic approach to composing. The movements’ titles translate as I. Hopelessness\, II. Melancholy\, Salon Mazurka\, and III. Sentimental Talk. In his Sonate Folklorique en Sol Majeure sur les Chansons Populaires d’Haiti (Sonata on Haitian Folk Songs in G Major)\, Emile Desamours quotes popular Haitian folk song melodies and incorporates also the syncopated\, dancing rhythms of Haitian folk music. Ending the program\, François Manigat’s Souvenir de Quinze Jours au Cap Haitien (Memories of Fifteen Days in Cap Haitien) reminisces about two enchating weeks the composer spent on Haiti’s northern coastal city. \nThe performance will be given by pianist Marianne Parker. Parker is a founding member of the L+M Duo\, which performs contemporary music for percussion and piano. Previously\, she served as Principal Pianist of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago\, where she studied under Chicago Symphony Orchestra Principal Pianist Mary Sauer. Ms. Parker previously studied at the Bösendorfer Piano Institute of Vienna under Krassimera Jordan\, and with pianists Wei-Han Su\, David Northington\, and David Brunell. \nTickets are $15 in advance\, $20 at the door.

SUMMARY:Piano Trios by Iranian Bahá'í composers at the Association of the Friends of Persian Culture conference!
DESCRIPTION:Crossing Borders Music will perform two short pieces for piano\, violin\, and cello at the 27th Annual Conference of the Association of the Friends of Persian Culture! The pieces are the First Movement (“Dashti”) of Nikan Milani’s Piano Trio\, and “Persian Dreams” by Safa Shahidi.\nNikan Milani’s piano trio tells through music the powerful\, resilient story of the BIHE – Bahá’í Institute for Higher Education. The BIHE was created because Bahá’ís in Iran are not allowed to enroll in higher education programs. By teaching at the BIHE\, Nikan and his fellow teachers therefore became subject to raids\, imprisonment\, and disappearance by the Iranian authorities.\nSafa Shahidi’s energetic and uplifting “Persian Dreams” blends Western instrumentation with Persian modes and melodies.\nThe works will be performed by Marianne Parker\, piano; Maya Shiraishi\, violin; and Tom Clowes\, cello.\nThis performance is open to attendees of the August 31-Sept 3 Conference of the Association of the Friends of Persian Culture. For registration information\, visit: https://www.fopca.com/en/events/conference.\nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

SUMMARY:New Voices: Celebrating Young American Indian Musicians
DESCRIPTION:Crossing Borders Music joins Shki Bmaadzi to showcase the musical accomplishments of young American Indian composers\, performers\, and dancers in the first-ever event of its kind. The concert will include performances of string quartets by Chickasaw composers Cruise Berry and Katie Barrick\, as well as music and dancing in the style used in inter-tribal powwows performed by Shki Bmaadzi and featuring members of the Chi Nations Youth Council\, including original choreography to selected music for string quartet. The performance will take place at the brand new location of Chicago’s American Indian Center\, the oldest organization of its kind in the country.\nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency. \nString Quartets \nThe program will feature Barrick’s Not For the Faint of Heart\, Berry’s Fantasia\, and a regional premiere of Berry’s String Quartet #3\, Donne XIV. Donne XIV is inspired by John Donne’s Holy Sonnet #14\, and by the documentary “This May Be the Last Time” about the mysterious disappearance of Pete Harjo in 1962\, and the members of his Seminole and Muskogee communities who sung the hymns of hope and faith as they searched for him. Berrry’s work uses a melody based on a Muskogee-Creek hymn that was orally passed along to the composer by a man featured in the documentary – a melody Berry considers a “connection to the secular and sacred.” Efforts to preserve these undocumented hymns have begun only in the past several years. \nThe program will also include Flare Up! by Michael-Thomas Foumai\, a composer of Samoan heritage. The breathlessly energetic work was inspired by Samoan fire knife dancing. \nThe quartets will be performed by Roy Meyer and Maya Shiraishi\, violins\, William McLellan\, viola\, and Tom Clowes\, cello. \nShki Bmaadzi \nAlso featured will be Shki Bmaadzi (“New Beginnings” in Ojibwe)\, a native youth drum and dance ensemble affiliated with the Chi Nations Youth Council. Led by Weylin Webster\, Shki Bmaadzi has performed at Soldier Field\, around the Midwest\, in Arizona\, and in Utah\, where it won a drumming contest. Shki Bmaadzi specializes in the music in the style performed at inter-tribal powwows\, including the vocal performance of “vocables” – syllables without any literal meaning\, originally used so that American Indians of different tribes could communicate solidarity without a shared language. Skhi Bmaadzi will perform original choreography to selected music for string quartet. \nAbout the Composers \nBerry and Barrick were participants in the Chickasaw Summer Arts Academy\, where they studied music composition with Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate. Their works were recorded on “Oshtali: Music for String Quartet”and “Tobachi: Chickasaw Nation Young Composers Recording Project” with the Linden Quartet. Berry recently finished his studies in Music Composition at Oklahoma City University. Barrick is currently Education Coordinator at the Oklahoma City Philharmonic. \nA note on terminology: We use “American Indian” rather than “Native American” to reflect the preferences of a majoirty of American Indians as expressed in US census data and a US Department of Labor survey.
