SUMMARY:What Makes Music Special? Part 1: Windows and Mirrors
DESCRIPTION:What makes your favorite music “special”? Is it the music itself? The memory of when you first heard it? The context in which you hear it? How do our personal backgrounds affect how we hear music? How can music help us relate to others? This unique program\, filled with “special” music from Colombia\, Haiti\, Scotland\, and the U.S.\, explores musical and non-musical elements that make music impactful.\nThis event is part of a weekly series of online music programs for K-12 students and teachers with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra\, International Music Foundation\, and Crossing Borders Music\, hosted by StreamableLearning.com. The events are free and open to K-12 students and teachers. Advanced registration is required. This particular event is geared towards grades 6-12.\nEvery weekly virtual concert in the series can be viewed at https://www.streamablelearning.com/…/performing-arts/. The site also includes registration instructions\, or you may register by e-mailing info@crossingbordersmusic.org from your school e-mail address by 9AM Central the day of the event with the subject line “Registration.”

SUMMARY:Soulful Haiti: Beyond the Headlines
DESCRIPTION:Crossing Borders Music Cellist Tom Clowes will join Haitian-born violinist and composer Jean (Rudy) Perrault in conversations about\, and performances of\, solo works by Haitian composers.

The event is sponsored by Northwoods Strings and will include interaction with the Northwoods Strings student musicians. Members of the public may audit the event.  More information and registration instructions for auditors are available online here. Northwoods Strings says\, “We will go beyond the headlines\, hearing from Special Student Correspondents about Haiti.

Rudy coaches chamber music\, conducts both the Symphony and Chamber Orchestras\, teaches violin and viola\, the Graduate literature classes and the Graduate Conducting classes.\n\nBorn in Port-au-Prince\, Haiti\, Rudy earned his Master’s degree in violin performance from Temple University. Upon graduation\, he moved to the New York area and has since guest conducted numerous ensembles in Russia\, France\, Turkey\, and Italy. He has also worked in Venezuela where he worked closely with members of “El Sistema” organization (FESNOJIV). Rudy’s performances have also taken him around the globe and his compositions are equally in demand by individuals and ensembles in all four corners of the world. The past several years he has been editing and orchestrating the piano works of Haitian Classical Composers. \nRudy is a founding member of the Kako Foundation (kakofoundation.com)\, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing music to at-risk youth\, and underserved communities in the US and Haiti. Rudy makes his home in Duluth\, Minnesota. \nSays Rudy\, “I am very excited to share music from my native country. It is a country with a rich heritage and untapped potential.” \n\n“Invocation” is one of Rudy’s favorite Haitian classical pieces for violin. Written by Haitian composer Occide Jeanty (1860-1936) for two violins and piano\, “Invocation” was transcribed here for one violin and piano by Rudy. Click here to watch it \nTom Clowes is a Chicago-area cellist and Founder of Crossing Borders Music.

As a member of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago\, he played under conductors Riccardo Muti\, Peter Oundjian\, and Cliff Colnot. Before moving to Chicago\, Tom was a member of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. He now teaches at the Chicago West Community Music Center of Garfield Park. In the summers\, Tom teaches at the Ambassadors Music Institute in Croix-des-Bouquets\, Haiti. \nConversations Tom had with Haitians in Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake helped shape the mission of Crossing Borders Music. Founded in 2011\, Crossing Borders Music has become a leading interpreter of chamber music by composers from under-represented cultures including the Chickasaw Nation\, Colombia\, Egypt\, Haiti\, India\, Syria\, and Uganda\, and a pioneering\, critically acclaimed presenter of music by graduates of the Bahá’í Institute for Higher Education in Iran. \nSays Clowes\, “I’m really looking forward to having fun\, sharing music\, and sharing part of Haiti way too few Americans get to see!” \nFor more information\, please visit the Northwoods Strings website.
