SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Thelonious Monk: The Music of Monk
DESCRIPTION:Ticket sales for this event have closed\, as we have reached seating capacity. The next event in this series will be announced soon. \n***** \nTickets – $10 (purchase tickets on Eventbrite)\nCash bar\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | show at 7 p.m. \n\nJazz performance featuring Stephen Lee (piano)\, Johnny Yancey (Trumpet)\, Sylvester Sample (Acoustic Bass) and Nygel Yancey (Drums) celebrating the legacy of Thelonious Monk. \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\nAbout Stephen Lee:\nJazz pianist Stephen Lee cut his teeth playing at Smalls Jazz Club in New York City’s Greenwich Village in the late 90s\, but he’s been playing piano and organ since the age of eight. His passion for jazz was born in college\, when he attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. \nStephen spent time as a touring musician with the Carnival Cruise Line and even did stints in Paris and Switzerland with the Legendary Paris Gospel Extravaganza and Jazz Life with the Janis Carter Quartet. His journey eventually took him to New York City\, where he worked as musical director of Manhattan’s Crenshaw Christian Center under Dr. Frederick Price. \nTough economic times eventually led Lee back to his hometown of Memphis. Stephen says being back in Memphis has turned out to be the best thing for his career. He’s finished his first album\, Songs in the Key of My Life\, and he plays regular gigs at the Westin Hotel downtown. \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:SOLD OUT -- An Evening with Wu Fei
DESCRIPTION:Ticket sales for this event have closed\, as we have reached seating capacity.  \n****** \nPresented by Sonosphere in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \nAn interactive performance with Wu Fei\, a genre-bending composer\, guzheng virtuoso\, and vocalist from Nashville — by way of Beijing. Wu Fei blends her Western and Chinese traditional sensibilities with a contemporary\, idiosyncratic\, experimental dialect as she performs original compositions on the guzheng\, an ancient 21-string Chinese zither. \nTickets: $15 (purchase on Eventbrite)\nCash bar\nDoors at 7:30 p.m. | Performance at 8 p.m. \n\nAbout Wu Fei:\nWu Fei\, a native of Beijing and a current Nashville resident\, is a master of the guzheng\, the ancient 21-string Chinese zither. She was trained as a Western classical composer\, a vocalist\, and plays beautifully in the guzheng’s vernacular — a musical language which is at least 2\,000 years old. She mixes her Western and Chinese traditional sensibilities with a contemporary\, idiosyncratic\, experimental dialect nurtured by years spent at Mills College and immersed in the New York downtown improvisation scene which revolved around venues like The Stone\, where Fei has frequently performed and curated. \nWu Fei composes for choir\, string quartet\, chamber ensemble\, Balinese gamelan\, and orchestra; her commissions range from a composition for Percussions Claviers de Lyon that premiered in the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing to live performances in Paris and Tokyo for luxury brand Hermès. \nIn addition to her own original compositions\, Fei has collaborated with many artists of different disciplines and genres ranging\, from Béla Fleck to avant garde composer John Zorn. She has taken her guzheng and music around the world and touring highlights include composition premiere at the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing\, the MoMA in New York City\, North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands\, Vossa Jazz Festival in Norway\, Europalia in Belgium\, and the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville. Wu Fei was recently commissioned by Intersection Ensemble in Nashville to create new classical work for guzheng\, voice\, and western chamber ensemble which she titled If I Was A Batman Queen. \n\nAbout the guzheng:\nWu Fei’s instrument\, the guzheng\, is more than 2\,000 years old. It became prominent during the Qin Dynasty (221 to 206 BCE)\, and by the Tang Dynasty (618 CE to 907 CE)\, the guzheng was arguably the most commonly played instrument in China. \nThe guzheng has 21 strings\, which were once made from silk but now they are almost always metal nylon which increase the instrument’s volume and timbre. There are many techniques used in the playing of the guzheng\, including basic plucking actions (right or both hands) at the right portion and pressing actions at the left portion (by the left hand to produce pitch ornamentations and vibrato) as well as tremolo (right hand). These techniques of playing the guzheng can create sounds that can evoke the sense of a cascading waterfall\, thunder\, horses’ hooves\, and even the scenic countryside. \n\nAbout Sonosphere:\nSonosphere is a Memphis-based podcast aimed at exploring sound in music and art movements through history and today. \n

SUMMARY:ICEBERG New Music Workshop: Sound Scavenger Hunt
DESCRIPTION:In two sessions\, participants search for sounds that meet certain criteria (i.e. “high\, short\, loud” or “low\, short\, soft”) and record them with portable recorders. The sounds will then be used to create an online “sound” map that lists the sounds’ qualities\, source\, and location\, allowing anyone to download the sounds to use in a creative project. \nLed by Drake Andersen\nMeet at the reception desk in Crosstown Concourse’s Central Atrium\nFree (register on Eventbrite) \nNew York City-based composer collective ICEBERG New Music will be in residence at Crosstown Arts for two weeks of concerts\, workshops\, and lectures. Memphis-based contemporary chamber group Blueshift Ensemble will collaborate with ICEBERG and perform the collective’s original compositions. \nSponsored by Amro Music \n\nAbout ICEBERG New Music:\nFounded by composer Alex Burtzos in 2016\, ICEBERG new music is a collective of ten young composers based in New York City. 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:ICEBERG New Music Collective\, Concert II
DESCRIPTION:New York City-based composer collective ICEBERG New Music will be in residence at Crosstown Arts for two weeks of concerts\, workshops\, and lectures. Memphis-based contemporary chamber group Blueshift Ensemble will collaborate with ICEBERG and perform the collective’s original compositions. \nConcert II program:\nAlex Burtzos – OMAHA (all the things you could be you are you were) for string quartet\nDrake Andersen – Photons for flute and clarinet\nYu-Chun Chien – Co-Composition for a cellist\nJonathan Russ – Eat Your Vegetables for solo clarinet\nHarry Stafylakis – Unrelent for flute\, clarinet\, violin\, cello\, piano\, and percussion \nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Performance at 7 p.m.\nCrosstown Concourse\, Central Atrium\nFree (donations accepted)\nFacebook invite \nSponsored by Amro Music \n\nAbout ICEBERG New Music:\nFounded by composer Alex Burtzos in 2016\, ICEBERG new music is a collective of ten young composers based in New York City. 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.

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:ArtRevival Showcase: Intersectionality Project
DESCRIPTION:Nine rising artists will display their work and share the motivation behind their pieces. \nThis semester\, the students created work addressing the topic of intersectionality — a term used to describe the overlapping or intersecting social identities and related systems of oppression\, domination\, or discrimination. Students were asked to embrace their differences or question their oppression. Issues they face vary from racism to islamophobia to cyberbullying and so many others. \nThe students in ArtRevival went through a series of workshops to develop their art skills and expand their awareness on community issues. Additionally\, work along a similar theme by other community artists will be on display. \nEnjoy the art\, listen to the voiceless\, donate to the organization\, eat great food\, and have fun! It’s free! \nFor more information\, email ArtRevival at artrevival.memphis@gmail.com or call 901.264.9440. Additional information may also be found on the ArtRevival website.  \nOrganized by ArtRevival
