SUMMARY:Invoke Multi-String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents multi-string quartet INVOKE at Crosstown Theater. \n\n\n\n\n\nCrosstown Theater\nFriday\, September 16\, 2022\nDoors 7pm | Concert 7:30pm \nTickets: $20 advance | $25 day of the show ($10 student tickets)\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \nDescribed as “not classical…but not not classical” (David Srebnik\, SiriusXM Classical Producer)\, Invoke continues to successfully dodge even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. The multi-instrumental band’s other ‘not-nots’ encompass traditions from across America\, including bluegrass\, Appalachian fiddle tunes\, jazz\, and minimalism. Invoke weaves all of these styles together to create truly individual music written by and for the group. \nThe band has recently garnered major prizes at international competitions including winning First Prize at the M-Prize International Chamber Arts competition in Ann Arbor\, MI\, the First Prize in the Coltman Competition in Austin\, TX\, and the “New Music/New Places” prize at Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition in New York. The group’s 20-21 season will take them across North America performing concert engagements and participating in major educational residencies. Highlights include performances at Lincoln Center\, Norton Center for the Arts\, Newberry Opera House and Green Music Center. \nInvoke has shared the stage with some of the most acclaimed ensembles in the country\, ranging from the Ensō Quartet to the U.S. Army Field Band\, and has also appeared with musicians in greatly varying genres – from chamber rock powerhouse San Fermin to DC beatboxer/rapper/spoons virtuoso Christylez Bacon. \nInvoke’s debut release Souls in the Mud\, and their follow-up Furious Creek\, both feature original works composed by and for the group\, plus the quartet has also performed and recorded numerous world premieres. Invoke believes in championing diverse American voices\, including their ongoing commissioning project American Postcards\, which asks composers to pick a time and place in American history and tell their story through Invoke’s unique artistry. \nInvoke is currently based in Austin\, Texas. \nThis programming is made possible in part thanks to an Organizational Development Fund grant from New Music USA.

SUMMARY:The Peace Chronicles\, Part 2 (ICEBERG + Blueshift + Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz)
DESCRIPTION:ICEBERG New Music\, Blueshift Ensemble\, and acclaimed poet Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz present “The Peace Chronicles (Part 2)” at Crosstown Theater. \n\n\n\n\n\nCrosstown Theater\nFriday\, August 19\, 2022\nDoors at 7pm | Performance at 7:30pm \nTickets: pay-what-you-can\nPURCHASE TICKETS / RSVP HERE \nICEBERG New Music\, Blueshift Ensemble\, and acclaimed poet Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz present “The Peace Chronicles (Part 2)\,” an evening of music and spoken word focused on finding peace in a violent and chaotic world. Blueshift Ensemble will perform works by Alex Burtzos\, Derek Cooper\, Jack Frerer\, Jessica Mays\, Max Grafe\, as well as new music by Becky Turro. Dr. Sealey-Ruiz will read from her recent book The Peace Chronicles. \nAfter the performance\, the poet\, performers\, and composers will join audience members for drinks and discussion. \nABOUT THE MUSIC \nThe Peace Chronicles is a two-evening program of poetry and music created as a collaboration between composer collective ICEBERG New Music (www.icebergnewmusic.com) and award-winning poet and scholar Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz (www.yolandasealeyruiz.com). The program premiered to sold-out audiences in New York City in Spring 2022. Each of the newly-composed works included in The Peace Chronicles is inspired by a poem from Dr. Sealey-Ruiz’s book of the same name. In performance\, the words and music are juxtaposed next to one another\, inviting listeners to find connections between the different media. The programs are structured dramatically\, the poems tracing a path from conflict through reconciliation and peace. \nABOUT ICEBERG NEW MUSIC \nICEBERG New Music is a collective of ten young composers based in New York City. ICEBERG’s mission is to promote the idea that substance\, not surface\, is the heart of music creation and perception. The collective’s ten member composers hail from different schools of thought and cultivate radically different sounds — from musical theater and indie rock to avant-garde sounds and electronic installations — but their contrasting musical languages belie a 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. \nABOUT YOLANDA SEALEY-RUIZ \nDr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz is an award-winning Associate Professor at Teachers College\, Columbia University. Her research focuses on racial literacy in teacher education\, Black girl literacies\, and Black and Latinx male high school students. A sought-after speaker on issues of race\, culturally responsive pedagogy\, and diversity\, Sealey-Ruiz works with K-12 and higher education school communities to increase their racial literacy knowledge and move toward more equitable school experiences for their Black and Latinx students. Sealey-Ruiz appeared in Spike Lee’s “2 Fists Up: We Gon’ Be Alright”\, a documentary about the Black Lives Matter movement and the campus protests at Mizzou. Her co-authored book [with Dr. Detra Price-Dennis] Advancing Racial Literacies in Teacher Education: Toward Activism for Equity in Digital Spaces will be published in April 2021. \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. Members of Blueshift are involved in almost every corner of the Memphis music community\, from performing in the Memphis Symphony Orchestra\, recording in the studio\, teaching at the University of Memphis and Rhodes College\, playing in your favorite local bands\, and composing original music for film. Founded by flutist Jenny Davis and cellist Jonathan Kirkscey in 2016\, Blueshift aims to bring classical music out of the concert hall and into the community. \nThis programming is made possible in part thanks to an Organizational Development Fund grant from New Music USA.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents JOHNNY GUITAR
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents JOHNNY GUITAR at Crosstown Theater. \nNicholas Ray / 1954 / 110 minutes / Rated M \nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) at Crosstown Theater \nYou will get to know who JOHNNY GUITAR is in this movie\, but you won’t really care — because the story in JOHNNY GUITAR is rightfully and solidly fixed on the hatred between Vienna\, played by Joan Crawford\, and Emma Small\, played by Mercedes McCambridge. The two actresses notoriously hated each other in real life and the tension between the two seeps onto the screen. JOHNNY GUITAR is ostensibly a Western about a saloon owner (Crawford) balancing her relationship with her local customers and out-of-towner railroad men and possible outlaws versus a local (McCambridge) who wants nothing more than to stir up trouble. JOHNNY GUITAR was a favorite of Shinji Aoyama\, Pedro Almodovar\, Jean-Luc Godard and Francis Truffaut.  \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Kafé Kirk with Kirk Whalum & Maysa at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Kafe Kirk with Kirk Whalum and special guest Maysa. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open at 5pm | Show begins at 6pm\nTickets: General Admission $45 (plus fees) \n\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE \n\nKIRK WHALUM \nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring…these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis\, (TN) gospel roots and his 1980‘s initiation into the thriving Houston\, TX nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. The 80’s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene––especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first #1 album. As well\, Kirk and Bob received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album\, Joined at the Hip. After moving to Los Angeles\, Kirk became an in demand session player for top artists like\, Barbara Streisand\, Al Jarreau\, Luther Vandross\, Larry Carlton\, Quincy Jones and most notably\, Whitney Houston\, amongst many others. It’s his sax heard on the mega-hit\, “I Will Always Love You.” Kirk soon followed that career high point with his phenomenal hit album released on Warner Bros. Records\, For You\, perhaps the most successful of over 25 solo recordings to date; others include his eclectic\, and much lauded\, Gospel According to Jazz series\, (Chapters 1\, 2\, 3 and 4). In addition to his many solo projects\, Kirk was also a member of the popular soul/jazz group\, BWB\, which features Kirk as the “W” of the group with Rick Braun (trumpet) and Norman Brown (guitar). \nAn ordained minister\, Kirk has earned a Masters of Art in Religion. It’s in this spirit that he serves his community in various ways when his touring schedule allows. There is also his daily fifteen minute podcast\, Bible In Your Ear (BIYE)\, in which he invites you to listen along as he reads through the Bible in a year. In addition to music and ministry\, Kirk has a passion to educate young\, aspiring musicians and is currently engaged as a music professor at Visible Music College in his hometown of Memphis. \nKirk is the recipient of numerous awards and acknowledgements for his musical excellence including three Dove Award nominations\, an NAACP Image Award nomination and has won two Stellar Awards- Gospel music’s highest honor. A twelve time Grammy nominee\, Kirk won his first Grammy award (2011)for Best Gospel Song (“It’s What I Do”––featuring Lalah Hathaway) alongside life-long friend and gifted songwriter\, Jerry Peters. \nIn a career spanning decades\, Kirk has a sound that is uniquely his; it is a sound that leaves an indelible imprint on the listener. \nMAYSA \nMaysa is the kind of singer who takes hold of a song and enraptures her audience in the palm of her hands\, as she delivers lyrics\, phrases\, melodies and harmonies in a way that only she can. Blessed with an instantly identifiable honey-toned mezzo-soprano and an undeniably brilliant and magnetic stage presence\, Maysa’s alluring vocals\, candor\,honesty\, humor and purity as an artist make her a rarity in this business. Having collaborated with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Incognito\, Angela Bofill\, Will Downing and Jonathan Butler\, Phil Perry and more…Maysa can hang with the best. It is no wonder she was the recipient of many awards for her work\, including Soul Train’s first Centric Award in 2009\, and her first Grammy nomination for Best Traditional R&B Performance for her remake of Nancy Wilson’s “QUIET FIRE” in 2014. \nThe Baltimore native\, who grew up in a loving household with amazing parents\, is proudly the mom of one son\, Jazz\, who was born prematurely at 25 weeks while she was on tour with Incognito in 1999. Jazz is now in college studying Photography and Music Production. \nIn 2018\, Maysa became the owner/founder of her own record label\, BLUE VELVET SOUL RECORDS. The company has released 4 singles\, YOU ARE NOT ALONE\, IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT\, LOVIN’ YOU IS EASY\, and SOFT WORDS. To celebrate her first record printing \, MAYSA designed a commemorative blue velvet box set with those 4 singles as an EP called THE FAB FIRST FOUR\, in January of 2021. \nMaysa will release her 14th solo studio album entitled\, MUSIC FOR YOUR SOUL in the first quarter of 2022.

SUMMARY:Kraftwerk 3-D at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:Electro pioneers Kraftwerk present their 3-D Summer Concert Tour at Crosstown Theater. \nTickets: $50 \n\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 8 pm \n** We will not accept tickets from third-party ticket-holders. \nBringing together music and performance art\, Kraftwerk 3-D concerts are a true “Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art.” \nThe multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf\, Germany\, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. By the mid-1970s\, Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic soundscapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. \nWith their visions of the future\, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century. Their compositions\, using innovative techniques\, synthetic voices\, and computerized rhythms\, have had a major international influence across an entire range of music genres: from electro to hip hop\, from techno to synth-pop. \nIn their live performances\, Kraftwerk — Ralf Hütter\, Henning Schmitz\, Fritz Hilpert\, and Falk Grieffenhagen — illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine. Starting with the retrospective of their catalog at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012\, Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late 1960s. The 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London)\, Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo)\, Opera House (Sydney)\, Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles)\, Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris)\, Neue National Galerie (Berlin)\, and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). In 2014\, Ralf Hütter and his former partner were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Starr made her home in the Memphis music scene in the mid-90s\, working at famed Ardent Studios and playing shows every chance she got. Her triumphant song “Superhero” caught the attention of A&R rep Ray Farrell\, and she signed a deal in 1996. The majority of the record was written within the year\, and was released in Sept. of 97’. Starr notes her favorite touring experiences from back in those days were with The Sundays soon after the record’s release and playing Lilith Fair\, where she met some of her heroes and future collaborators: Mary Chapin Carpenter\, The Indigo Girls\, Bonnie Raitt and Sara Maclachlan. \nSince then\, she’s toured the world and back\, she’s received a GRAMMY nomination\, has had her songs placed in hundreds of movies\, TV shows and commercials\, was featured in a 2022 Super Bowl commercial for T-Mobile staring Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus and has released a dozen albums while also writing songs for others such as Back Street Boys and Kris Allen. \nBut there’s nothing quite like your first LP. No matter what else you accomplish\, there’s always something special about the first thing you present to the world. And that’s something to celebrate. \nAbout Garrison Starr: \nGarrison Starr is the quintessential musical triple-threat – singer\, songwriter\, record producer – and her latest album\, Girl I Used To Be\, reveals her at the height of all her powers. \nStarr is a celebrated singer of such remarkable reputation that music icons go out of their way to praise her. Glen Phillips declares\, “Garrison’s voice goes straight to the gut. She reminds you of what it means to be human.” Mary Chapin Carpenter adds\, “She just writes and sings her heart out. In the ‘American Idol’-ized landscape that constitutes today’s music business\, she is someone to be thankful for.” \nOf her songwriting\, Billboard Magazine describes Starr as “the author of affecting\, emotion-bearing songs that are clothed in attractive\, melodic garb.” That unique melodic sense is the foundation for Starr’s songwriting acclaim and why she’s found such success writing for TV\, commercials\, and film – where her songs have been featured numerous times. \nHer frequent collaborations with other artists have been both in the studio and on stage – Starr has toured with the likes of Steve Earle\, Emmylou Harris\, Bruce Cockburn\, Patty Griffin\, Mindy Smith\, and Melissa Etheridge (to name a few)\, logging hundreds of thousands of touring miles across the country and around the world. \nIn 2016\, Starr collaborated with Margaret Cho\, producing and performing on her Grammy-nominated album\, American Myth. Pulling no punches\, Cho paints Starr as “an incredible singer and songwriter and one of the brightest talents that music has ever seen. Artists like her come along once in a millennia\, and we are lucky to have her now.” \nMost recently\, Starr started a “supergroup” with Nashville songwriters Sean McConnell and Peter Groenwald to form My Sister My Brother\, who released their debut self-titled EP on March 6\, 2020. Rolling Stone called it “a gorgeous\, harmony-drenched [record] about partnership and purpose”.
