SUMMARY:Crosstown Counterpoint: Blueshift Ensemble + Evan Williams
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Crosstown Counterpoint: Blueshift Ensemble + Evan Williams in the Central Atrium at Crosstown Concourse. \nCentral Atrium\nWednesday\, June 14\, 2023\nShow begins at 7:30 pm\nTickets: Free \nREGISTER HERE \nSupported by an Arts Access grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission and ArtsMemphis\, Crosstown Arts presents the premiere of the commissioned work by Evan Williams\, “Crosstown Counterpoint” alongside Williams’ earlier works “Bodies Upon the Gears”\, “Amber Waves”\, and Terry Riley’s classic minimalist bop\, “In C.” \nAs the groundbreaking neared for Crosstown Concourse in 2017\, several Memphians young and old were interviewed to provide oral histories of the Sears Crosstown building and what the revitalization would do for the area. Taking inspiration from works such as Steve Reich’s Different Trains\, Crosstown Counterpoint uses these oral histories to tell the multi-generational story of this space\, and what it meant to the people of Memphis. Two antiphonal string quartets accompany the voices\, using the open space of the Central Atrium of Crosstown Concourse to bring this history to life. \nDrawing from inspirations as diverse as Medieval chant to contemporary pop\, the music of composer and conductor Evan Williams (b. 1988) explores the thin lines between beauty and disquieting\, joy and sorrow\, and simple and complex\, while often tackling important social and political issues. Williams’ catalogue contains a broad range of work\, from vocal and operatic offerings to instrumental works\, along with electronic music. \nBlueshift Ensemble is a Memphis-based contemporary chamber music ensemble dedicated to bringing artists and audiences together through artistic collaboration. By programming both new and existing classical repertoire alongside multi-genre collaborations\, Blueshift aims to connect a wider audience to today’s classical music. The ensemble draws upon Memphis’s uniquely diverse musical heritage by combining classical music with popular music genres such as rock\, blues\, and soul and featuring local musicians\, visual artists\, and composers. \n

Her work has appeared in various online and print publications including Poetry Magazine\, Poet Lore\, The Offing\, The Louisville Review\, and Blue Lake Review.

Ali is the Program Consultant for Project Green Fork and the creator of Food Science 4 Kids\, a program that teaches grade-school children food science. She recently published her first children’s book\, entitled Can I Play with my Food?\, a book that explores food and science through the eyes of two sisters\, Nema and Lexi. Ali is a graduate of Alabama A&M University and a Huntsville\, Alabama\, native\, but after being a transplant for nearly twelve years\, she truly considers Memphis her home. \n  \nNubia Yasin is a screenwriter\, poet\, and multidisciplinary artist born in Memphis\, Tennessee. She uses her craft to explore themes around shame\, sex\, love\, and family\, with an acute focus on the Black Femme experience. She often pulls from her family history as a first generation Somali-American living in the south to tell stories about Black womanhood and Black motherhood. Her work is imbued with a sense of spirituality\, incorporating elements of Islam and Southern American Hoodoo. The Blood and Body (2022) is her debut collection of poetry. \n  \nDr. Terrence Tucker is an associate professor and chair of African American literature in the Department of English at the University of Memphis. He is the author of Furiously Funny: Comic Rage from Ralph Ellison to Chris Rock (University Press of Florida\, 2018). He has also published essays on topics ranging from race and pedagogy to Ernest Gaines to African-American superheroes and in journals from Pedagogy\, Southern Literary Journal\, and College Language Association Journal. He is finishing work on his second book project\, The Rise of the Afristocracy: Portraits of the Black Elite in Contemporary African American Literature contracted with University Press of Florida. This book traces the representation of the Black elite in African-American literature from the lives of free Blacks during slavery to rising Black middle and upper classes in the twenty-first century. \n  \nDr. Shelby Crosby’s research spans mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century African American literature\, representations of womanhood (particularly Black womanhood)\, and critical race theory. It threads together critical race\, Black feminism\, and literary historical frameworks to interrogate an American national story. Dr. Crosby is currently working on a book manuscript that examines the pervasive derogatory ideologies of Black womanhood. Using Black feminist theory to ground the text\, she will examine such authors as Frederick Douglass\, Williams Wells Brown\, and Martin Delany\, arguing that\, through their adoption of traditional demarcations of white womanhood\, Black women are further pushed to the margins of American society.
