SUMMARY:Lalla Essaydi
DESCRIPTION:Visual artist Lalla A. Essaydi grew up in Morocco and now lives between there and the United States. In her art\, she often combines Islamic calligraphy with representations of the female body to address the complex reality of Arab female identity from the unique perspective of personal experience. Much of her work returns to her Moroccan girlhood\, looking back on it as an adult woman caught somewhere between past and present\, and as an artist\, exploring the language in which to “speak” from this uncertain space. \nOften appropriating Orientalist imagery from the Western painting tradition\, she invites viewers to reconsider colonialist mythologies. Working in numerous media—including painting\, video\, film\, installation\, and analog photography—she explains that\, “In my art\, I wish to present myself through multiple lenses—as artist\, as Moroccan\, as traditionalist\, as Liberal\, as Muslim. In short\, I invite viewers to resist stereotypes.” \nEssaydi received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts/TUFTS University in May 2003. Her work is represented in the collections of such museums as the The Louvre\, Paris; the British National Museum\, London; and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her visit to UNC Greensboro is organized by the School of Art’s Falk Visiting Artist Program and the Weatherspoon Art Museum.\n\n \nLalla A. Essaydi\nApril 4\, 2024 at 4:30pm\nMargaret and Bill Benjamin Auditorium\nWeatherspoon Art Museum \nNo ticket required (Free)\nReception immediately following event. \n \n\nIn addition to public presentations\, every artist in the UCLS series does important work with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage. Thanks to The Cemala Foundation\, some of these artists also work with K-12 students in the Guilford County Schools.

SUMMARY:Indigo Girls with the Greensboro Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Twenty years after they began releasing records as the Indigo Girls\, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have politely declined the opportunity to slow down with age. With a legacy of releases and countless U.S. and international tours behind them\, the Indigo Girls have forged their own way in the music business. Selling over 14 million records\, they are still going strong. Amy & Emily are the only duo with top 40 titles on the Billboard 200 in the ’80s\, ’90s\, ’00s and ’10s. \n\n\n\nIn 2012\, Saliers and her Indigo Girls partner\, Amy Ray\, embarked on a bold new chapter\, collaborating with a pair of orchestrators to prepare larger-than-life arrangements of their songs to perform with symphonies around the country. The duo found an elusive sonic sweet spot with the project\, creating a seamless blend of folk\, rock\, pop\, and classical that elevated their songs to new heights without scarifying any of the emotional intimacy and honesty that have defined their music for decades. Now\, after more than 50 performances with symphonies across America\, the experience has finally been captured in all its grandeur on the band’s stunning new album\, Indigo Girls Live With The University of Colorado Symphony Orchestra. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nOrchestra/Mezz\nBalconies\n\n\nUNCG Students\n$5\n$5\n\n\nNon-UNCG Students\n$10\n$10\n\n\nSingle\n$75\n$70\n\n\nSeniors/Military\nFaculty/Staff/Retirees\n$65\n$60\n\n\nPurchase Tickets\n* Tickets to CVPA and UCLS events are sold exclusively through our box office locations and ETix website\, and nowhere else. Tickets purchased through third-party vendors cannot be honored. \n\n\n\n \nThe power of unity\, both in music and in life\, has been an Indigo Girls calling card ever since they burst into the spotlight with their 1989 self-titled breakout album. Since then\, the band has racked up a slew of Gold and Platinum records\, taken home a coveted GRAMMY® Award\, and earned the respect of high profile peers and collaborated from Michael Stipe to Joan Baez. NPR’s Mountain Stage called the group “one of the finest folk duos of all time” while Rolling Stone said “they personify what happens when two distinct sensibilities\, voices\, and worldviews come together to create something transcendentally its own.” \nThe duo has balanced their long\, successful musical career by supporting numerous social causes–the Indigo Girls don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk. Both on and off the stage\, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have secured their spot as one of the most legendary musical acts of this generation. \n\nIn addition to public presentations\, every artist in the UCLS series does important work with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage. Thanks to The Cemala Foundation\, some of these artists also work with K-12 students in the Guilford County Schools.

Mr. Dugan performs regularly in partnership with friends and artists who share a passion for expanding the world of classical music. The Wall Street Journal described Mr. Dugan’s collaboration with violinist and vocalist Charles Yang as a “classical-meets-rockstar duo.” In Mr. Dugan’s performances with his wife\, mezzo-soprano Kara Dugan\, repertoire ranges from art song\, to American Songbook\, to original songs and world premieres.

Mr. Dugan appeared as the piano soloist in Charles Ives’ 4th Symphony with the Houston Symphony\, the San Francisco Symphony\, and on an album with Michael Tilson Thomas and the SFS. \nMr. Dugan advocates for a classical music culture that is inclusive and welcoming to all\, from a community’s concert halls and theaters\, to its schools and hospitals. As a founding creator of Operation Superpower\, a superhero opera for children\, he has travelled to dozens of schools in the greater New York area\, performing for students and encouraging them to use their talents – their superpowers – for good.
