SUMMARY:The Music of Lucia Dlugoszewski: Rebecca Lloyd-Jones and Dustin Donahue
DESCRIPTION:Australian percussionist Rebecca Lloyd-Jones and UMBC percussion faculty Dustin Donahue present the enigmatic work of Lucia Dlugoszewski (1925–2000). \nA renowned composer for the Erick Hawkins Dance Company\, Dlugoszewski spent a lifetime searching for radical new ways of making sound. Her work of the 1950s celebrated the magical sounds of everyday objects. She later invented hundreds of percussion instruments designed to create delicate and color textures of sound and she developed a system of unconventional piano techniques that she referred to as the “timbre piano.” By the time of her death in 2000\, Dlugoszewski’s music was largely unpublished and unrecorded\, and her invented instruments in disrepair. Lloyd-Jones and Donahue have undertaken a reconstruction process\, working through her archives and in collaboration with performers of her music\, to bring this historic and evocative music to life again. \nThe program will feature:\nSong for the Poetry of Everyday Sounds (1952)\nEveryday Sounds for brIght by e.e. cummings (1953)\nSeparated Music for Rates of Speed (1958)\nSeparated Music for Delicate Accidents (1958)\nRadical Quidditas for an Unborn Baby (1991) \n\nRebecca Lloyd-Jones is a multiform musician\, passionate about performance\, research\, and education. Praised as “captivating” (San Diego Union-Tribune)\, Lloyd-Jones has performed professionally across Asia\, Europe\, North America\, and Oceania\, presented at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention\, and held residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity\, Canada. Active across many genres\, Rebecca has performed on the Walt Disney Concert Hall stage in conjunction with the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Noon to Midnight marathon new-music festival\, at the BBC Proms\, Concertgebouw Concert Hall\, and The National Centre for the Performing Arts\, Beijing. Lloyd-Jones has performed with the PARTCH ensemble\, ensemble red fish blue fish\, Hong Kong based percussion quintet Up:Strike Project and is the current Artistic Director of Synergy Percussion. Lloyd-Jones holds the position of Lecturer at Queensland Conservatorium\, Griffith University and is a Marimba One Education Artist. \nDustin Donahue is a percussionist dedicated to chamber music and contemporary music performance. He is a member of the Grammy award-winning Partch Ensemble\, a group specializing in the music and instruments of Harry Partch and he co-directs Wasteland\, an organization dedicated to fostering experimental chamber music in southern California. He performs across the United States with groups such as the International Contemporary Ensemble\, the Los Angeles Percussion Quartet\, the Brightwork Ensemble\, and ECHOI. He appears on recordings for Decca\, Mode\, Naxos\, New Focus\, Populist\, and Stradivarius Records. He is assistant professor of percussion at UMBC. \n\n$15 general admission\, $10 seniors\, $5 students.

SUMMARY:Tatiana Mann: Find Your Why
DESCRIPTION:In Find Your Why\, presented by the Center for Innovation\, Research\, and Creativity in the Arts (CIRCA)\, Tatiana Mann will lead us to explore why we engage with our disciplines\, what informs our decisions\, and how to light our creative fire to fuel our future success. \nAs artists and humanists\, why do we choose our career paths? Because of lucrative remuneration (supported by plentiful research grants) and a lavish lifestyle (afforded by sleepless nights working several jobs)? In pursuit of quixotic research\, prestigious performances\, exhibitions\, publications\, and accolades? Or do we choose to do what we do because at some point we couldn’t imagine a life without art\, or without investigating humanity’s larger questions? Whatever our reasons\, since we embarked on our career path\, the surrounding landscape has changed and we are left wondering where to head next. To reach our destination (hopefully intact)\, it is helpful to reflect on what motivates\, what drives us and what gets us fired up. \nTatiana Mann is a classical pianist\, educator\, administrator\, and a passionate advocate for the arts and humanities. She has performed throughout the United States and Europe as a recitalist\, orchestral soloist\, and as a chamber musician. She is the recipient of the Rockefeller Fellowship at the Tanglewood Music Center\, where she performed and worked in masterclasses with cellist Yo-Yo Ma\, pianists Charles Rosen and Peter Frank\, and with soprano Dawn Upshaw. Mann is the project manager of the Breaking the M.O.L.D. Initiative in partnership with UMBC\, the University of Maryland\, College Park\, and Morgan State University\, sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \n\nAdmission is free. A free lunch will be provided. Seating is limited\, and an r.s.v.p. form will be available soon. \n\nPhoto: Jason Masters \n

SUMMARY:Kelley Bell: Projections\, Inflatables\, and Artistic Spectacles
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Innovation\, Research\, and Creativity in the Arts (CIRCA) presents artist Kelley Bell\, who will present a talk entitled Projections\, Inflatables\, and Artistic Spectacles. \nBell is an artist/designer/educator celebrated for creating vibrant projection mapping works on a grand scale and gallery installations that emphasize joy\, community\, and human connection. In this presentation\, she will take us on a tour of her best\, worst and wildest art adventures and discover how delight and imagination can lead to contemplation and meaningful interpersonal connection\, and how art doesn’t have to be big or in the public eye to be spectacular. \nBlending mid-century design stylings\, lively rhythms\, and penny-arcade antics\, Bell’s work radiates a distinctively playful energy that aspires to unlock deeper social potentialities. Bell’s large-scale projection mapping works and public installations have been featured in national and international festivals for almost two decades. Her experiences working behind the scenes while other folks are having fun inform the philosophy central to her artistic practice: that enjoyment and delight are essential aspects of human experience and growth. While many high-profile art spectaculars are often co-opted as fodder for social media\, they are also potential opportunities for audiences to connect with themselves\, with one another\, and with the world in ways that are hopeful\, meaningful\, and enduring. \nBell’s career includes numerous prominent exhibitions and festivals across the globe. Highlights include: the MOMENTUM Festival in Toledo\, OH (2019); Digital Graffiti in Alys Beach\, FL (2024/2018); the Dlectricty festival in Detroit\, MI (2017) and the Animafest International Animation Festival in Zagreb\, Croatia (2017 and 2016). She has been a regular contributor to the MoCA Lights international light art festival in Patchogue\, NY and the Artscape festival in Baltimore MD. In 2019\, she studied under master woodworker and automata craftsman Matthew Smith in Falmouth\, UK. In 2024\, she was awarded the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance’s Baker Artist Award in Interdisciplinary Arts and her work will be featured in the Baker Award exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art in April through July\, 2025. Professor Bell ​earned an MFA degree from the Intermedia and Digital Arts program at UMBC and a BFA in Graphic Design from Pratt Institute. Kelley Bell is an associate professor of visual arts at UMBC. \n\nAdmission is free\, and lunch will be provided. Space is limited\, and an r.s.v.p. form will be available soon. \n\nImage: Kelley Bell\, Palazzo\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Ivalas Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The Shriver Hall Concert Series presents charismatic rising stars the Ivalas Quartet in a program of three works traversing the musical heavens. Osvaldo Golijov took inspiration for his poignant Tenebrae from a planetarium visit with his son. Sparked by a lecture on physics\, Eleanor Alberga’s rich and spellbinding quartet explores the ideas of swirling particles and stargazing from outer space. Finally\, the group infuses one of Beethoven’s final works with “tremendous heart and beauty” (The Strad). \nHailed by The Strad for playing with “tremendous heart and beauty\,” the Ivalas Quartet has been changing the face of classical music since its inception at the University of Michigan in 2017. Dedicated to the celebration of BIPOC voices\, Ivalas seeks to enhance the classical music world by consistently spotlighting past and present BIPOC composers such as Jessie Montgomery\, Daniel Bernard Roumain\, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor\, and Eleanor Alberga. The Ivalas Quartet is the Graduate Resident String Quartet at The Juilliard School in New York City\, where they study under the Juilliard String Quartet. They were previously in residence at the University of Colorado-Boulder under the mentorship of the Takács Quartet. \nThe complete program:\nOsvaldo Golijov (b. 1960): Tenebrae\nEleanor Alberga (b. 1949): String Quartet No. 1\nLudwig van Beethoven (1770–1827): String Quartet in B-flat major\, Op. 130 \n\nFor tickets and additional information\, please visit the Shriver Hall Concert Series. \n\nLinehan Concert Hall\, located in the Performing Arts and Humanities Building\, is easy to visit\, with plenty of free parking.

SUMMARY:Melissa Hyatt Foss: Rewilding Sound and Form
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Innovation\, Research\, and Creativity in the Arts (CIRCA) presents artist Melissa Hyatt Foss\, an instrument-maker\, musician\, composer-performer\, researcher\, and teaching artist who develops artistic and educational projects that explore pre-Colonial sound artifacts of the Americas and their applications in contemporary art and music. Foss is the Maryland Traditions Artist-in-Residence at UMBC where she shared her tradition and practice with Linehan Artist Scholars students and is guiding them to develop teaching materials that will enable public school teachers to introduce the practice\, history\, and cultural significance of clay instrument making to their students. \nMelissa Hyatt Foss’s work takes different forms\, from sculptural ceramic instruments\, improvisational performances\, and electroacoustic compositions\, to educational workshops and residencies for all ages. Through these different expressive channels\, she explores themes of memory\, kinship\, and myth\, as well as sound itself; its ability to induce altered states of consciousness and its power to generate collective moments of shared emotions and connection. Foss’s hand-built instruments\, which are both visual and sonic objects\, reawaken ancient sound technologies through plant\, animal\, and bird-inspired forms. She navigates and negotiates between form and function to create instruments which reverently conjure more-than-human beings and highlight tunings and timbres rarely heard in music or encountered in our world today. Her evocative compositions are an intimate dialogue between the primordial\, organic sound material conjured from her bespoke instruments: flutes\, horns\, trumpets\, noise generators and whistling bottles; and electronic tools like granular processors\, loopers\, and electronic instruments. Often described as ritualistic\, her music moves from delicate\, fragile sounds to expansive and commanding sonic spaces. Profoundly shaped by the artistic-academic paradigm of the “Integral Musician\,” pioneered by Alejandro Iglesias Rossi\, she has developed a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to her own creative practice that draws on different but deeply interrelated fields of knowledge spanning from archaeology\, anthropology\, and geology\, to sculpture\, acoustics\, technology\, music\, and performance. \nMelissa Hyatt Foss was initiated into instrument-making and musical composition in Argentina\, at the National University of Argentina at Tres de Febrero. There\, she completed a master’s degree in Musical Creation\, New Technologies\, and Traditional Arts\, performed as a soloist for seven years with the Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments and New Technologies\, and taught in the bachelor’s program in Indigenous\, Popular\, and Classical Music of the Americas. In 2022 one of her original instruments was acquired for inclusion in the interactive educational installation in the Baltimore Museum of Art’s Patricia and Mark Joseph Education Center\, and she has been commissioned by the Walters Art Museum to create historic recreations of several musical instruments in their Art of the Ancient Americas collection. She has recently completed a three-year artist residency at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore\, where her solo exhibition\, Kith & Kin\, A Rewilding of Sound and Form will be on view from March 14 through April 19\, 2025. \n\nAdmission is free\, and lunch will be provided. Space is limited\, and an r.s.v.p. form will be available soon. \n\nImage: Melissa Hyatt Foss\, Mente Mineral (Mineral Mind). \n

SUMMARY:Social Sciences Forum — Distinguished Lecture in Psychology — Gordon C. Nagayama Hall
DESCRIPTION:Social Sciences Forum — Distinguished Lecture in Psychology \nGordon C. Nagayama Hall\, Ph.D.\nProfessor Emerit\, University of Oregon \nMaking the Invisible Visible: Reducing Disparities Via Personally Relevant Interventions \nThe mental health needs of people of color are largely invisible because they underutilize mental health services and are not the focus of research. These mental health utilization disparities have persisted for at least six decades. Neither evidence-based treatments nor culturally-adapted treatments adequately address the individual needs of people of color. People of color may not use mental health services because services are not: (a) personally relevant; or (b) accessible. Our neuroscience data suggest that pragmatic\, problem-solving approaches are the most personally relevant for Asian Americans\, the least likely ethnic group to use mental health services. In this talk\, Gordon Hall will discuss the development of the Mind Boba app to make psychotherapy more personally relevant and accessible to Asian Americans. \n\nAdmission is free. \n\nThis event is organized by the Department of Psychology and is cosponsored by the Center for Social Science Scholarship. \n\nPhoto provided by G. Hall.
