SUMMARY:un hilo a veces rio [a thread sometimes river] art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:un hilo a veces rio\n\n\n\n[a thread sometimes river]\n\n\n\nSolo Exhibition by Vida Zamora\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNovember 11 – 22\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, Nov 21st | 6-8p\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMore About un hilo a ceces río [a thread sometimes river] \n\n\n\nun hilo a veces río [a thread sometimes river] is a collective\, image based sculptural composition that weaves time\, affect\, and world-making. In its assembly of “images\,” memory is not articulated through description nor representation\, but as a felt and active force in all its porosity–extending itself behind\, beyond and within singularity into the immanence of collectivity writ-large. The collaborators of this piece gathered\, made\, and worlded-with each other. In this act of sharing\, the life that emanated from their time together has been carefully and intentionally assembled into a map that leads nowhere but to the act of remembering itself: a latent potentiality that refuses to be defined and that inaugurates affect in an outward (shared) and inward (opaque) motion. Vida co-orchestrates–with Petra\, Patricia\, Lucy\, Martha\, and with the assistance of Anna\, Margaret\, Meijuan\, Sophie\, and Jessica–an piece that does not want to materialize\, but that finds a home in experience itself.  \n\n\n\nMore About Vida Zamora \n\n\n\nVida Zamora [b.1998; Puebla] is a transdisciplinary artist in constant errancy. She graduated from MICA [MD] with a BFA\, and was a UnionDocs [NY] Collaborative Studio Fellow. After graduating\, she dealt with immigration and gender affirming care\, yet recently gained access to a studio setting to continue her practice. Her work has been exhibited in programs at DIFFUSION [Canada]\, Millennium Film Workshop [NY]\, UnionDocs [NY]\, FISURA [Mexico]\, Badn?m [India]\, Cinema Parallels [Bosnia]\, and perfect lovers [NC] by curators such as the Re:assemblage collective\, Adriana Trujillo\, Michellè st. Michel\, Dylan Angel and Victoria Bouloubasis. \n\n\n\nTo learn more visit  vidazamora.art or follow them on Instagram: @vdzm__ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Open Public Hours \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

Locke Endowment for Excellence in Music. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Program\nCrossfade\n\n\n\nMark Engebretson is a professor of composition and music technology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. His music explores melody\, timbre\, and virtuosity through clear formal design\, while often integrating new media and popular influences. A recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship\, Engebretson’s music has been commissioned by the Fromm Music Foundation and Barlow Endowment. Engebretson’s works have been performed widely in the United States and abroad.  Crossfade was commissioned by Stephen Squires and the Chicago College of Performing Arts Wind Ensemble and premiered in 2017. The title references the process of blending one sound or idea into another: a technique familiar in audio production. Throughout the piece\, musical textures and colors overlap and transform as ideas emerge\, fade\, and reappear in new contexts. Crossfade unfolds in three large sections: an energetic opening characterized by rhythmic motion and bass-driven motives\, a slower and more texturally experimental middle section\, and a return of the opening material transformed with new energy and melodic material. The work’s vibrance\, intricate layers\, and buoyant rhythms create what the composer describes as “a bubbly concoction of energy\, rhythm\, and joy.”  \n\n\n\nNote by Mark Engebretson and Molly Allman  \n\n\n\nTheme and Variations\, op. 43a\n\n\n\nArnold Schoenberg\, largely self-taught and originally from Vienna\, immigrated to Los Angeles in 1934. While in the United States\, Schoenberg taught at UCLA while composing until a heart attack in 1945 led him to retire from teaching in order to focus on composition. Schoenberg is best known for “emancipating dissonance” through his move away from tonality and toward atonality where music lacks a key center. This idea led to his development of 12-tone technique\, a revolutionary approach to composition that has come to define his legacy. However\, this contribution represents only part of his creative output which also includes his significant and tonal composition for band: Theme and Variations\, op. 43a. Written while Schoenberg was living in Los Angeles\, Theme and Variations\, op. 43a was composed at the request of Carl Engel\, president of G. Schirmer Music\, following a request from Edwin Franko Goldman\, for an original composition for band. Centered in G Minor\, the work consists of a theme\, seven variations\, and a finale. Each variation is based on the original theme and developed through fragmentation and motivic transformation\, while incorporating tempo variation\, a waltz\, an inverted canon\, and a chorale. The multi-part finale includes a double fugue and a coda that transforms the tonality from G Minor to G Major. \n\n\n\nNote by Patty Saunders  \n\n\n\nBlack Dog\n\n\n\nScott McAllister is an American composer\, educator\, and clarinetist. McAllister attended Florida State University where he studied conducting with the director of bands\, James Croft\, and clarinet with Frank Kowalsky. In 2001\, following the success of his previous work for clarinet\, X Concerto\, Croft and Kowalsky commissioned McAllister to write another clarinet concerto which became Black Dog. Written to showcase Frank Kowalsky’s technique\, Black Dog draws inspiration from 1970s rock music including guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page\, and more specifically Led Zeppelin’s song “Black Dog.” The piece is intended to evoke the feeling of an outdoor concert\, with the clarinet soloist serving as the lead singer in front of a screaming audience. To further emphasize the “rock” feel of the piece\, McAllister chose to write it as a rhapsody\, which allows for more formal freedom. The soloist is featured in several cadenzas before a “head-banging” bass line propels the piece to a rousing conclusion. \n\n\n\nNote by Scott McAllister and Jaden Brown \n\n\n\nGloses II\n\n\n\nSpanish composer Amando Blanquer Ponsoda studied horn with Don Fernando de Mora and composition at the Conservatory of Valencia with Leopoldo Magneti\, Manuel Palau\, and Miguel Asins Arbó. In the 1950s\, he received a scholarship to study in Paris and studied composition with Olivier Messiaen. Blanquer won several awards including the Rome Prize in 1962. Upon moving back to Spain\, he served as the chair of composition at the Valencia Superior Conservatory of Music. His prolific output of more than three hundred works spans symphonic\, chamber\, choral\, and solo music. His significance as a band composer is evident in his works for band and with his background playing in the Primitive Band of Alcoy. Considering his compositional style\, Blanquer remarked “each musical idea is born from the element that originates it—whether it be an orchestra\, a band\, an oboe\, a guitar.” Gloses II is part of a trilogy\, alongside Gloses for organ (1987) and Gloses III for symphony orchestra (1990). Commissioned for the Festliche Musik Tage in Switzerland\, it was also featured at the Valencia International Wind Band Competition in 1991. In Spain\, a “glosa” is a poetic form that expands on a pre-existing short text\, typically a four-line stanza. In music\, the “glosa” generates melodic variations—a tradition rooted in Valencian Baroque music\, notably in the works of organist Joan Baptiste Cabanilles (1644–1712). The five-movement work is a musical interpretation of a “glosa” and opens with a four- note melody in the low brass\, which serves as thematic material used throughout the work The second movement highlights the oboe and bassoon with contrasting lyrical lines and dance-like rhythms. Chimes signal the beginning of the third movement\, which opens with a horn solo which is developed across the ensemble before resolving to a D Major chord. The fourth and longest movement features a chaotic texture\, with frantic\, fragmented rhythms interspersed with slower\, lyrical passages. The final movement marked “Allegro jubiloso\,” begins with tom-toms and marked chords. Woodwind and high brass rhythmic sections\, a reintroduction of oboe and flute solos\, and fanfare-like brass are showcased. The rhythmic motive is then imitated in the timpani in the final measures to bring the piece to a triumphant and full ensemble E Major chord. \n\n\n\nNote by Patty Saunders \n\n\n\nInvocación\n\n\n\nLuis Serrano Alarcón is a Spanish composer and conductor who writes primarily for band. In 2017\, La Armónica\, the symphonic band at Centro Instructivo Musical (CIM) in Buñol\, Spain\, commissioned Alarcón to compose Invocación. The piece was premiered as part of the band’s competition repertoire for the World Music Contest\, a month-long music festival in Kerkrade\, Netherlands. Invocación is based on Isaac Albeníz’s piano suite Iberia\, specifically\, the second movement\, “El Puerto” which Alarcón performed as a child. Alarcón draws inspiration from his experiences and memories with Iberia in Invocación. The piece’s subtitle\, “Revisitando El Puerto\,” refers to both the revisitation of old music and a revival of the actual location that inspired Albeníz’s “El Puerto”: El Puerto de Santa María in Cadíz\, Spain. Additionally\, the title Invocación is subtle reference to the first movement of the piano suite\, “Evocación.” These similarities and connections were specifically chosen by Alarcón for a reason: “While to evoke is to remember in an intervening way or motivated by something external\, to invoke is a request\, and therefore denotes intention.” \n\n\n\nNote by Luis Serrano Alarcón and Jaden Brown \n\n\n\nAmparito Roca\n\n\n\nJaume Teixidor was a Spanish composer and conductor who spent most of his career leading municipal and military bands throughout Spain\, including the Baracaldo Municipal Band in northern Spain. He wrote more than five hundred compositions for concert band\, many of which became staples of Spanish band repertoire.  Amparito Roca is a pasodoble; a traditional Spanish military march in duple meter with brisk-like rhythms and bold melodic themes\, often associated with bullfighting and festive celebrations. Named after Teixidor’s piano student\, Amparito Roca\, for whom he originally wrote the piece as a study work\, the piece opens with a spirited introduction\, followed by the main theme\, alternating with lyrical and dance-like passages. Its lively rhythms\, dynamic contrasts\, and melodic flourishes capture the character of the Spanish pasodoble.  \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\nTaylor Stirm (Second Prize\, Student Artist Competition)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaylor Stirm is a current doctoral student at UNC Greensboro and the North Carolina student representative for the International Clarinet Association. Stirm is a clarinet instructor at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts Community Music School and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Community Music School. She also has a large private studio in North Carolina of clarinet and piano students.  \n\n\n\nEqually at home in solo\, chamber\, and orchestral situations\, Stirm has performed throughout the United States and internationally.
