SUMMARY:The W.E.B. Du Bois Center at UMass Amherst & The Du Bois Freedom Center Present - The Immortal Child: A Concert and Reading Celebrating the Friendship of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and W.E.B. Du Bois
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE\n\nFREE with reservations  \nThe W. E. B. Du Bois Center at UMass Amherst and The Du Bois Freedom Center Present a special evening celebrating the lives\, works\, and friendship of American scholar-activist W. E. B. Du Bois and the British composer\, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. The two first met in 1900 at the first Pan-African Conference in London and shared a bond centered on the celebration of Black history\, culture\, and identity. They forged a firm friendship which lasted until Coleridge-Taylor’s untimely death in 1912. The event will begin with a group reading of ‘The Immortal Child’ from W. E. B. Du Bois’\, Darkwater (1920)\, which he penned in memory and tribute to his late friend.    \nThis reading will be followed by a performance of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet in F-sharp Minor\, which displays both his virtuosity as a performer and his adoption of musical motifs and ideas from the African Diaspora. Our evening will conclude with an opportunity for audience members to engage in questions and conversation with the musicians and representatives from both the W. E. B. Du Bois Center at UMass Amherst and the Du Bois Freedom Center.  \nMUSIC PERFORMANCE:\nClarinet Quintet in F-sharp Minor\, Op. 10 / Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1895)\nI. Allegro energico\nII. Larghetto affettuoso\nIII. Scherzo. Allegro leggiero\nIV. Finale. Allegro agitato \nW.E. B. Du Bois (1868 – 1963) Born in Great Barrington\, Massachusetts three years after the end of the American Civil War\, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois rose to prominence initially as a scholar and then as an international leader in the fight for social justice and racial equality. Du Bois gained his undergraduate degree from Fisk University before becoming the first Black man to gain a PhD from Harvard University.“` \nHis early work in the emerging science of sociology helped establish this discipline in American academia and brought Du Bois to Atlanta University in the 1890s. It was here\, however\, that Du Bois once again encountered the violent racism of the American South which brought the realization that scholarship alone would not be enough – he must become a public intellectual leader as well. In 1903 Du Bois published the sensational volume of essays\, The Souls of Black Folk\, which remains a classic of American literary depictions of Black life in America. He helped found the Niagara movement in 1905 and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909. He was the editor of the NAACP’s mouthpiece\, The Crisis\, for almost a quarter of a century.  \nDu Bois travelled the world advocating for the rights of the oppressed everywhere. He helped convene the Pan-African Congresses following the First World War and he was active in the struggle for peace during the Cold War. He died in 1963 in Accra\, capital of the newly-independent Ghana. Throughout his long life\, Du Bois never stopped producing writing and scholarship that continues to inform and inspire in equal measure long after his passing. The University of Massachusetts Amherst are proud to be the custodians of Du Bois’s archival papers which reside in the Robert S. Cox Special Collections & University Archives Research Center.  \nSamuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) Born in Holborn\, Central London\, in 1875 to an English mother and a father who originally came from Sierra Leone\, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor rose to fame as a composer in his early twenties. One of his most notable pieces from his early career was Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast\, which he debuted in 1898. His influences were many\, but included traditional African music and Coleridge-Taylor took great pride in his own African heritage. In 1900 he participated in the First Pan-African Conference\, held in London\, as the youngest delegate. It was here that he met\, and formed a friendship with\, W. E. B. Du Bois.  \nSamuel Coleridge-Taylor wrote the Clarinet Quintet in response to a remark by his composition professor that it would be impossible to write a piece for the instrumentation that was not influenced by Johannes Brahms’ monumental Clarinet Quintet. In 1895 while still a student at the Royal Academy of Music\, Coleridge-Taylor rose to the challenge\, creating a work using a highly skilled and daring treatment of the instrumentation that drew upon his own rich musical heritage. The first documented 17 performances of Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet in the United States occurred in 1906 on his second US tour. Members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra performed the work on a program alongside selections from his Op. 57 Sorrow Songs and Op. 59 Twenty-four Negro Melodies. Coleridge-Taylor accompanied the great Black American composer and baritone Harry Burleigh\, who had famously succeeded in bringing spirituals to the American classical music stage. Notably\, Coleridge-Taylor donated proceeds from this performance to Atlanta University\, where W. E. B. Du Bois was teaching.

SUMMARY:Branford Marsalis Quartet
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$69 – $99 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event   \n$69 Reserved\n$79 Preferred\n$99 Premium  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket \n$15 ages 30 and under (visit the Box Office or call 413-528-0100\, Wed – Sat\, 12-4pm)  \nSaxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master\, Grammy Award winner\, and Tony and Emmy Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead\, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. After more than three decades of existence with minimal personnel changes\, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. After receiving Grammy nominations on its last two albums\, Upward Spiral and The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul\, the Quartet made its Blue Note Records debut with the release of Belonging\, a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett's 1974 ECM album of the same name. The New York Times commented "Marsalis has tackled imposing jazz masterworks before…but at its best\, his 'Belonging' goes deeper…it's a performance that both honors and amplifies." John Zeugner captured the impact of the Quartet in a review of a live performance\, calling it "casually confident\, professional\, cerebral\, and supercharged with energy. The Branford Marsalis Quartet…was all of those adjectives and more."

SUMMARY:Half an Evening with David Rasche
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$47 General Admission (plus processing fees)\nCafé table seating  \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, June 3 at noon \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, June 5 at noon  \nDavid Rasche\, star of HBO’s Succession and ABC’s Sledge Hammer! and local resident\, is pleased to bring his performance Half an Evening with David Rasche to the Indigo Room in a delightful evening of painful memories and personal insults that are tied together with a collection of original songs that he originally wrote himself and were written by him originally. Some of these songs have never before been sung in public\, perhaps for good reason. Some are love songs\, some comedic\, some are bittersweet\, some just bitter. He is not above a cheap joke\, and nothing is beneath him. Songs will include the bossa nova favorite “Sand Up in My Crack\,” the enchanting jazz waltz\, “I Wish I Was Married to Your Wife\,” the historic actor/prison/chain gang song\, “Never Going to Work Again\,” and not many more. The songs are musical\, and short enough to accommodate the most limited attention span. Someone else will be playing the piano\, so don’t worry. This show will be just long enough that exactly when you are thinking\, “It’s time to go\,” the last song will be finishing and your coat will be waiting for you at the door. “Thank God\, David Rasche is finally doing a show\,“ someone might have said\, maybe. It’s a performance you will be happy to have seen.  \nDavid Rasche began his career at Chicago’s famed Second City\, where he worked with John Candy\, Bill Murray and others. His many TV appearances include Columbo and VEEP\, and\, most recently\, Dying for Sex\, with Michelle Williams. He has also appeared in movies\, such as In the Loop\, directed by Armando Iannucci\, who also did VEEP\, and About My Father with Robert DeNiro. He has appeared both on Broadway and off.
