SUMMARY:Of Folk\, Faith\, and Fellowship: Exploring Chicago's African-American Women Composers
DESCRIPTION:Join pianist and scholar Samantha Ege in exploring the music and lives of four great composers! Florence Price and Margaret Bonds lived and composed on Chicago’s South Side during the remarkable artistic period of the Chicago Black Renaissance in the 1930s. Supported in their friendship in the midst of a thriving arts environment\, these trail-blazing women created historic and ground-breaking compositions influenced by African-American folk melodies – especially spirituals.  Ege also explores the  remarkable music of contemporary composers Dolores White and Regina Harris Baiocchi\, and how their friendship has supported them to become strong voices within a community of contemporary composers.\nSamantha Ege has written detailed program notes for this program; read them here to learn about the music before you hear it!\nThe event will take place at Preston Bradley Hall at the Chicago Cultural Center\, and is free and open to the public.\nThe program includes:\nFantasie Negre by Florence Price\nAzuretta by Regina Harris Baiocchi\nToccata by Dolores White\nSonata in E minor by Florence Price\nTroubled Water by Margaret Bonds\n\nThis program is partially supported by a grant from Illinois Humanties.\nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.\nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.

SUMMARY:African-American Women Composers: Looking Back and Looking Forward
DESCRIPTION:Honor the past and celebrate the future of African-American women composers as we share their unique perspectives and beautiful music in this concert for string quartet and piano. Florence Price was a trailblazing composer who lived on Chicago’s South Side. Her Five Folksongs in Counterpoint draw on both traditional spirituals and academic musical training from the New England Conservatory\, which she managed to attend only by overcoming a ban on African-American admissions. The granddaughter of slaves and a graduate of Juilliard\, Undine Smith-Moore’s Afro-American Suite similarly draws on spirituals as well as the composer’s formal music training to create unique settings of popular melodies. Elizabeth Baker’s Rain on the Cotton Fields explores the juxtaposition of African spiritual traditions emphasizing connection with the land with enslaved African Americans’ forced participation in worship services as performing musicians. Each movement of Brittany J Green’s Portraits draws inspiration from a different poem by the composer’s grandmother\, exploring themes of longing\, realization\, uneasiness\, reassurance\, solemnity\, exposure\, bleakness\, and beauty. Jordyn Davis’ What Have You Done (Who Are You?) rounds out a captivating program. \nWith Marianne Parker\, piano; Rasa Mahmoudian and Kyle Dickson\, violins; Sixto Franco\, viola; and Tom Clowes\, cello. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nThis program is made possible in part by a grant from the American Music Project (americanmusicproject.net).\n \nThis program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
