SUMMARY:901 Ringers Handbell Choir
DESCRIPTION:Performance of holiday music and carols by the 901 Ringers Handbell Choir. \nWith up to 12 ringers\, this seasoned group of musicians can perform both religious and secular pieces. Unlike an orchestra or choir in which each musician is responsible for one line of the texture\, a handbell ensemble acts as one instrument\, with each musician responsible for particular notes\, sounding his or her assigned bells whenever that note appears in the music. \nStick around after the performance for Memphis Holiday Bones\, a holiday trombone concert by the Bluff City Trombone Collective\, in The Green Room.

SUMMARY:Resident Artist Pecha Kucha
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts resident artists will deliver talks in the Pecha Kucha format. \nThe key to Pecha Kucha is the 20×20 format: all presenters show 20 slides for 20 seconds each\, making each presentation concise and dynamic. If you’re wondering what “Pecha Kucha” means\, it draws its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat.” \nPecha Kucha Nights began in Tokyo as an opportunity for artists\, designers and architects to show samples of their work through a concise\, timed presentation in a relaxed community setting. Over the past 10 years\, these events have expanded to hundreds of cities across the globe\, and often include a variety of community members sharing a wide array of interesting (and sometimes hilarious) topics. \n\nPresenting Artists:\nCaroline Keys\nAlex Joins\nLester Merriweather\nLauren Ross\nSarah Ledbetter\nToya & Reuben Levi\nRosemary Warren\nMelanie Bernier\nPaul Taylor

SUMMARY:The Music of Michael Brecker
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: $15 (purchase on Eventbrite)\nDoors at 6:30 pm | show at 7 pm \nJazz tribute to saxophonist Michael Brecker featuring Lannie McMillian (tenor sax)\, Tony Thomas (piano)\, Austin Bradley (drums)\, Gerard Harris (guitar)\, and Scott Reed (bass). \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. \nMichael Leonard Brecker (March 29\, 1949 – January 13\, 2007) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. He was awarded 15 Grammy Awards as both performer and composer. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Berklee College of Music in 2004\, and was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 2007. \n\nAbout Lannie McMillan:\nLannie McMillan is a lifelong\, full-time jazz performer. Lannie graduated from the University of Memphis with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music Education. He has been a staff musician at many recording studios including Stax Records\, Shoe Productions\, and the Hi-Cream Studios. He has also performed with many well-known jazz artists\, such as Stan Kenton\, Buddy DeFranco\, Lou Soloff\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Clark Terry\, Louis Bellson\, Maynard Ferguson\, and Don Menza. In addition\, he participated in a blues seminar given at King George College and performed at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1993. Lannie McMillian is the featured saxophonist for Sunday Brunch at Owen Brennans. \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:Shoot & Splice: Filming on Film
DESCRIPTION:Many filmmakers might argue that the film vs. digital debate is dead in the water and that digital has finally won out for good. But many of the major releases in 2017 were actually shot entirely\, or at least partially\, on film\, including Wonder Woman\, The Post\, Justice League\, Phantom Thread\, The Florida Project and I\, Tonya. \nJoin Memphis film-making pioneer Mike McCarthy in a discussion about his own experiences shooting on film\, why a filmmaker in 2018 might choose to shoot on film\, and where to find resources to do so. \nMike McCarthy is an artist\, musician\, writer\, filmmaker\, and Memphian by way of Tupelo\, Mississippi.  Mike released his first full-length film\, Damselvis\, Daughter of Helvis in 1994 and has been making films ever since.  Some of Mike’s films include Teenage Tupelo\, The Sore Losers\, Superstarlet A.D.\, and Cigarette Girl.  Mike is currently working with a non-profit TV station in Albany\, Mississippi\, called Hill Country Network to develop new programming. \nShoot & Splice is a monthly forum for filmmakers presented collaboratively by Crosstown Arts & Indie Memphis. \nFree and open to the public\nDoors at 6:30 pm | discussion at 7 pm

SUMMARY:Sound Observations: Maria Chavez & Christina Carter
DESCRIPTION:A musical performance and lecture series presented by Sonosphere in collaboration with Crosstown Arts \nMaria Chavez\, an abstract turntablist/sound artist/DJ of Lima\, Peru\, and vocalist/guitarist/pianist Christina Carter will collaborate on a performance. \nFree and open to the public (reserve free ticket on Eventbrite)\nDoors at 7:30 pm | concert at 8 pm \n\nAbout Sound Observations:\nIn this four-part series highlighting new explorations in sound\, musicians\, composers\, and scholars from across the country will showcase their unique talents through performances and lectures. Listen and experience sound as art through a variety of different approaches and mediums. \n\n\n\nAbout the artists:\nSound artist Maria Chavez utilizes accidents\, coincidence\, and failures to unite her sound sculptures\, installations\, and other works with her solo turntable performance practice. Routledge Press chose Maria to be on the cover of the latest edition of their Electronic and Experimental textbook that is distributed widely throughout academia. The book is used in universities and music programs all over the world as a first-year course for students interested in the world of avant garde and electronic sound practice. \nMaria wrote her first book on her unique approach to abstract turntablism in 2012 titled\, OF TECHNIQUE: Chance Procedures on Turntable (currently out of stock)\, a book of essays and illustrations that guide the novice turntablist to explore the world of needles and vinyl through the lens of deterioration\, destruction\, and the unexpected. \nMaria regularly teaches workshops introducing students to her turntable practice all over the world and has been a research fellow with the Sound Practice Research Department of Goldsmith’s University of London since 2015. \nShe presents lectures on sound art\, improvisation\, multi-channel speaker installation practice\, most recently for Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)\, Stony Brook University\, the Contemporary Arts Museum-Houston\, Berklee College-Valencia\, Spain and others later in the fall/winter season. \nChristina Carter was born in the bayou city of Houston\, Texas in November of 1968\, and co-founded the group Charalambides there in December of 1991. Ever since\, she has deeply mined her own vein of art-as-music with voice\, guitar\, and piano. For the past several years\, Christina has utilized extended improvisational guitar passages within and without song-medley structures\, and recently\, investigated ‘the song’ as a thing unto itself\, specifically concentrating on ‘the word’- both in her own lyric writing and her interpretations of the work of other lyricists. In addition to performing extensively in the US\, UK\, and Europe as a solo artist\, Christina has played and recorded in various groups and duos with Heather Leigh Murray (as Scorces)\, Maria Chavez\, Loren Connors\, Chris Corsano\, Dredd Foole\, Sandy Ewen\, Paul Flaherty and Thurston Moore. \n\nAbout Sonosphere:\nSonosphere is a Memphis-based podcast aimed at exploring sound in music and art movements through history and today. Past podcasts have featured ICEBERG New Music Collective\, John Cage\, Martin Heyne\, and Memphis Concrete\, among other artists and music events.
