The mission of the organization is to promote the idea that substance – not surface – is the heart of music creation and perception. We live in an era where dogma is out of place; composers can\, and should\, draw from an unprecedentedly broad array of influences in their work – including popular music\, avant-garde techniques\, and everything in between. The ten ICEBERG composers hail from different schools and cultivate radically different sounds\, but their contrasting musical languages belie shared emphasis on structure and depth of meaning. When these artists compose for the same ensemble and present their works during a joint concert\, the result is a glimpse into the ever-widening possibilities of art music in the twenty-first century. ICEBERG is committed to radical stylistic inclusiveness\, excellence of craft\, dialogue with the audience\, and a modernization of the concert-going experience. \n \n\nAbout Blueshift Ensemble:\nBlueshift 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.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT The Music of Miles Davis: From Bebop to Hip Hop
DESCRIPTION:Ticket sales for this event have closed\, as we have reached seating capacity. The next event in this series (The Music of Monk) is Saturday\, July 8\, and tickets can be reserved here. \n***** \nJazz performance featuring Paul McKinney and the Knights of Jazz\, celebrating the legacy of Miles Davis. \nThe Knights of Jazz features Paul McKinney (trumpet/flugel horn)\, Keenan Shotwell (piano)\, Vincent Oglesby (bass)\, Kelvin Walters (alto/soprano saxophone)\, and Renaldo Ward (drums). \n\nThe Crosstown Jazz Series\, presented by Strictly Jazz Entertainment in collaboration with Crosstown Arts\, is designed to salute classic jazz music as contemporary musicians perform the work of the legends.\n\n\n  \nTickets – $10 (purchase on Eventbrite)\nCash bar\nDoors at 6 p.m. | show at 7 p.m. \n\nAbout the Knights of Jazz:\nThe Knights of Jazz balance entertainment with value and education\, as they pay homage to historical jazz musicians\, such as Louis Armstrong\, Louis Jordan\, Herbie Hancock\, Freddie Hubbard\, Grover Washington Jr.\, Kirk Whalum\, Roy Hargrove\, and Robert Glasper. The Knights of Jazz believe music should evoke emotion; it should be pleasurable\, even spiritual. Blues legend Bobby Bland once said\, “People don’t want to hear all of those notes; they want to feel something.” \n\nAbout Strictly Jazz Entertainment:\nStrictly Jazz Entertainment is committed to cultivating a growing community in the knowledge and appreciation of jazz. We facilitate dialogue and collaboration between the devoted supporters of jazz and the brand new constituents – those new to the genre – for the furthering of the jazz community. We provide a bridge between leading artists and a community that typically does not embrace jazz by promoting concerts in various venues to generate an atmosphere that is viable for the absorption of pure jazz.

SUMMARY:"Barrier Free" Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Yancy Villa-Calvo will discuss “Barrier Free\,” her socially engaged art installation on display in Crosstown Concourse’s Central Atrium. A Q&A will follow. The talk will take place in front of the installation. \n\nBarrier Free is a portion of a socially engaged art installation designed for the Latino Memphis Festival by Yancy Villa-Calvo. The installation is on view through June 5th. \nBuilding on the current and controversial idea of the proposed wall along the US-Mexico border\, the installation aims to create awareness and encourages viewers to pause\, reflect\, and act. \nThe installation attempts to be inclusive and open to interpretation. Symbols make reference to barriers around nationality\, race\, religion\, sexual orientation and identity\, gender\, and socioeconomic aspects. This project is less about the actual wall and more about the systematic attempts to divide individuals\, families\, and communities. \n\n  \nioby Campaign

SUMMARY:The Moonpie Project presents: Brandon Marshall
DESCRIPTION:A new mural by Brandon Marshall memorializing artist Ronnie “BETOR” Bobal \nLocation: Crosstown Arts alley between 430 & 438 N. Cleveland \nFree food + drinks \nThe Moonpie Project is an ongoing\, rotating mural series curated by Michael Roy in memory of muralist Brad Wells. \nOrganized in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \n\n                 \n\n\n    \n\nAbout Brandon Marshall:\nBrandon Marshall is a visual artist specializing in mural-making and public art with a strong focus on community engagement and mobilization. Marshall’s current professional endeavors stem from an extensive background in the hip-hop community as a graffiti artist\, B-Boy\, promoter\, and educator. Marshall is the founder and lead organizer of the “Soul Food” graffiti art festival and curates other rotating walls in Memphis. He has secured wall space and painted at mural festivals from Denver to Melbourne and constantly strives for excellence within each of his artistic practices. \nAbout  Ronnie “BETOR” Bobal:\nRonnie “BETOR” Bobal was among the first generation of graffiti artists born and raised in Memphis\, Tennessee. Bobal was considered a pioneer of style and was respected nationwide among graffiti writers for his unique abstract lettering styles. In his pieces\, the viewer will note the thoughtful construction of his alphabet through the use of ribbon-like textures\, which are contrasted by hard-nosed\, slab-serif bars. BETOR proudly represented the U.H. Crew locally\, and the prestigious\, Los Angeles-based I.C.R. Crew. Although considered by many to be royalty within the subculture\, he simultaneously held a reputation for his laidback demeanor and notorious humility. His legacy as a dedicated and prolific master of the craft lives on through his crew mates and friends and by the artwork he has left behind throughout the country.
