Renegade Series: Melissa Ngan

Fifth House Ensemble's flutist and executive director discusses how her experiences growing up in a multicultural, multilingual family developed her skills as a cultural chameleon. Her current work leverages her capacity to create connections and common language to generate projects that engage international partners, source collaborators from wildly diverse disciplines and result in genre-defying artistic experiences.

Faculty Artist Series: The French Connection

Sarah Frisof and Rita Sloan are joined by fellow School of Music faculty Mark Hill, Gregory Miller, Robert DiLutis and Joseph Grimmer for a concert of unusual French chamber music for flute, piano and winds in various configurations. The performers will present duos, trios and a sextet from Poulenc's Paris of the 1930s to the 21st century's Techno-Parade by Guillaume Connesson.

Musicology Lecture: Jesse Rodin, Stanford University

Associate professor at Stanford University, Jesse Rodin gives a lecture titled “Amen”: Theorizing an Aesthetics of Intensification in Fifteenth-Century Music. In the lecture, Rodin will explore developing more empathetic and intuitive ways of hearing and analyzing Renaissance polyphony. He suggests that fifteenth-century composers created a formal and expressive language rooted in an aesthetics of intensification and contrast.

Shakespeare in the Parks

A fun-filled comedy, featuring Beatrice and Benedick, the witty rivals whose secret love for each other is revealed when they come to the rescue of Claudio and Hero, whose wedding has been sabotaged by the nefarious Don John. Set on the picturesque island of Sicily, this travelling production will feature live musicians playing a blend of traditional Italian music as well as original numbers composed from Shakespeare’s text.
