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: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.

SUMMARY:Lala Tamar & Friends featuring Yacouba Sissoko
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$43 General Admission (plus processing fees)\nCafé table seating  \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, June 3 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, June 5 at noon  \nLala Tamar is what happens when Moroccan soul and Brazilian beats meet on the dancefloor. A singer songwriter\, poet\, guimbri player\, dancer and world traveler\, Lala Tamar stirs ancient North African rituals into fresh\, feminine alchemy. She sings in Arabic\, Amazigh and Portuguese making music that feels like flipping through your grandmother’s photo album while dancing in a poppy dreamscape. \nLala made history as the first artist to record a contemporary album in Haquetia and one of the first women to introduce the Guimbri to new musical worlds. She’s shared stages with North African greats like Karim Ziad\, Khadija El Warzazia\, and Mehdi Nassouly\, and recently made her Lincoln Center debut in NYC. \nWith her new original album in the making\, written mainly in Darija\, Lala takes you on an intimate feminine Moroccan dive\, an up-beat tribute to her ancestry. Lala invites you to join her world: a place of play and poetry\, softness and strength\, where music isn’t just heard… it’s remembered. \nThe ensemble explores the sounds of a caravan moving through the Sahara\, shaabi grooves from Agahadir and Algiers\, African strings\, Arab ornamentations\, music for ceremonies of healing\, trances and spells of connection\, poetry pulled from distant centuries. It is an unforgettable evening of friendship\, love and humanity that transcend borders. \nMaster kora player Yacouba Sissoko devotes his musical gift to expand the awareness of West African history and culture\, spread the word of peace\, and empower his listeners to take charge and realize their imagined futures. His performances have a magical effect on audiences as he skillfully transforms the traditional songs and stories of his forefathers into modern day messages of peace\, love\, and harmony. Yacouba was born to a well-known Djeli family in Kita\, Mali. For centuries\, Djelis have been the musical storytellers\, a position that is inherited through a family bloodline. Highly respected within their communities\, they are the keepers of the factual history and the fictional fables of past rulers\, nobles\, social groups and families. The kora\, a 21-stringed plucked instrument with a gourd resonator\, is the traditional instrument accompanying their songs. At the age of 9\, Yacouba started learning the kora and the oral traditions associated with it from his grandfather. By 15\, he was touring the country sharing the stories passed down through his family for centuries.

SUMMARY:Lala Tamar & Friends featuring Yacouba Sissoko
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$43 General Admission (plus processing fees)\nCafé table seating  \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, June 3 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, June 5 at noon  \nLala Tamar is what happens when Moroccan soul and Brazilian beats meet on the dancefloor. A singer songwriter\, poet\, guimbri player\, dancer and world traveler\, Lala Tamar stirs ancient North African rituals into fresh\, feminine alchemy. She sings in Arabic\, Amazigh and Portuguese making music that feels like flipping through your grandmother’s photo album while dancing in a poppy dreamscape. \nLala made history as the first artist to record a contemporary album in Haquetia and one of the first women to introduce the Guimbri to new musical worlds. She’s shared stages with North African greats like Karim Ziad\, Khadija El Warzazia\, and Mehdi Nassouly\, and recently made her Lincoln Center debut in NYC. \nWith her new original album in the making\, written mainly in Darija\, Lala takes you on an intimate feminine Moroccan dive\, an up-beat tribute to her ancestry. Lala invites you to join her world: a place of play and poetry\, softness and strength\, where music isn’t just heard… it’s remembered. \nThe ensemble explores the sounds of a caravan moving through the Sahara\, shaabi grooves from Agahadir and Algiers\, African strings\, Arab ornamentations\, music for ceremonies of healing\, trances and spells of connection\, poetry pulled from distant centuries. It is an unforgettable evening of friendship\, love and humanity that transcend borders. \nMaster kora player Yacouba Sissoko devotes his musical gift to expand the awareness of West African history and culture\, spread the word of peace\, and empower his listeners to take charge and realize their imagined futures. His performances have a magical effect on audiences as he skillfully transforms the traditional songs and stories of his forefathers into modern day messages of peace\, love\, and harmony. Yacouba was born to a well-known Djeli family in Kita\, Mali. For centuries\, Djelis have been the musical storytellers\, a position that is inherited through a family bloodline. Highly respected within their communities\, they are the keepers of the factual history and the fictional fables of past rulers\, nobles\, social groups and families. The kora\, a 21-stringed plucked instrument with a gourd resonator\, is the traditional instrument accompanying their songs. At the age of 9\, Yacouba started learning the kora and the oral traditions associated with it from his grandfather. By 15\, he was touring the country sharing the stories passed down through his family for centuries. He attended the National Institute of the Arts in Bamako\, where he immediately caught the attention of the music world there and began touring with noted artists and ensembles such as Ami Koita\, Kandia Kouyate\, the Raoul Fulero Ensemble\, and l’Ensemble National du Mali (the orchestra that both his mother and grandmother sang with). Rooted to give back to the community\, Yacouba offers cultural programs and benefit concerts all over the world. He continues to blend his virtuosity effortlessly with other musical styles\, ranging from Indian ragas to Appalachian tunes. Currently\, Yacouba can be seen performing regularly with Regina Carter and his own band\, SIYA.

SUMMARY:Raul Midón
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$49 General Admission (plus processing fees)\nCafé table seating \nMember Sale:\nWednesday\, May 27 at noon \nPublic Sale:\nThursday\, May 28 at noon \nGrammy-nominated singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón has built a genre-defying career that blends soul\, jazz\, Latin rhythms\, and acoustic virtuosity into a sound entirely his own. Blind since birth\, Midón has often been described as a “one-man band”—turning his guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus (The New York Times). His artistry has earned praise from icons such as Quincy Jones (“his music makes you smile”)\, Elton John (who called State of Mind a “soul classic”)\, and Bill Withers\, who championed his music.  \nMidón first captivated audiences worldwide with his breakthrough album State of Mind\, produced by the legendary Arif Mardin. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary\, the album remains a touchstone of modern soul and jazz. Over the years\, he has collaborated with a remarkable range of artists\, from Herbie Hancock\, Stevie Wonder\, and Marcus Miller to Snoop Dogg and Roberta Flack. He has performed with orchestras\, at jazz festivals across the globe\, and even appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to debut new work.  \nA true eclectic adventurist (People)\, Midón continues to push boundaries. His latest album\, Lost & Found (2024)\, released on his own ReKondite ReKords label\, showcases his evolution as a storyteller and composer while reaffirming the joyful\, borderless spirit that defines his music. Whether onstage with only his guitar or accompanied by full orchestra\, Raul Midón embodies what The Guardian once called a “totally musical mind at work.”
