Can We Talk? Divided We Fall
UPDATE: This event has been cancelled, click here for more information.
Have you noticed how many op-eds there are about “lazy Millennials and Gen Z-ers”? Have you ever seen a conversation shut down with an “Ok, Boomer”? How did this divide come to be? Can younger and older generations make peace and work together?
Zodiac Duo: Celestial Sounds
UPDATE: This event has been cancelled, click here for more information.
George Crumb's Celestial Mechanics is an iconic avant-garde masterwork for four-hand piano. Crumb's sonic tour-de-force makes the instrument sound in stunning and unimaginable ways: explosions, strange resonances, and cosmic clusters abound in a work that redefines the piano's entire soundscape.
Hart GP Jazz Ensemble plays Art Blakey
Considered to be the cornerstone of the Hard Bop genre and the training grounds for many of the greatest jazz musicians of all time, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers paved the way for the music of modern jazz. On March 6th at ArtHouse in College Park, Hart Guonjian-Pettit and his ensemble of fellow musicians pay homage to Art Blakey and his legendary band through a performance of selections from the group's standard repertoire. The group will perform compositions by Cedar Walton, Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk among others.
