SOLD OUT ∙ Jazz Ensemble II: A Peanuts Holiday
2025-11-06 19:30 - 21:30 | The Crown at the Carolina Theatre, 310 S Greene St, Greensboro, 27401, United States
Jazz Ensemble II celebrates the holiday music of Vince Guaraldi in this special seasonal concert! Go waltzing with “The Great Pumpkin,” watch a “Little Birdie,” and go “Skating” with all-new arrangements of these classic, nostalgic songs.

The Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program at UNCG is a unique and innovative undergraduate jazz program designed to emulate the traditional process of learning jazz, through a combination of mentorship, real-world playing experiences, and a communal approach to learning. Although the program is housed in one of the largest music schools in the Southeast, it is kept intentionally small, resulting in an intensive and highly personalized learning environment.

UNCG offers the following degree programs for students interested in studying Jazz:

Bachelor of Music (B.M.) – Performance

Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Jazz Studies

TicketPriceAdult$16.20Seniors$10.20Military$10.20Students$10.20Ticket prices include a $3.00 processing fee and applicable sales tax.

Kate Gordon’s studio practice focuses on painting in the expanded field, sourcing inspiration from pop-up books, dioramas, and collage. The dream imagery that Gordon mines aims to capture the strangeness of the waking world, which is often not as logical as it might at first appear. Gordon has shown her paintings, collages, and video works nationally; exhibitions include a site-specific installation “Alligator Naps” at the Hilliard Art Museum, curation into the Weatherspoon Art Museum’s “Art on Paper” exhibition, and an invitation to create a public video installation at Block 2, a visual platform for new media artists in Raleigh, NC. Most recent professional accomplishments include participation in Kolaj Institute’s Artist Residency in Scotland, curation into “Is This Too Much?”, a maximalist exhibition at Le Mieux Galleries, and inclusion in the “Louisiana Contemporary” exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Gordon currently holds the position of Associate Professor of Figure Drawing & Foundations at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She earned an M.F.A. from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a B.F.A. from Pratt Institute.

un hilo a veces rio [a thread sometimes river] art exhibition

un hilo a veces rio

[a thread sometimes river]

Solo Exhibition by Vida Zamora

November 11 – 22, 2025

Reception: Friday, Nov 21st | 6-8p

More About un hilo a ceces río [a thread sometimes river]

un 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.

But It Was Something About Living

A Collaborative Installation

Isabella Gamez, Maya Rampel, Marin Carr-Quimet, Fig Hendrick

November 11 – 22, 2025

Reception: Friday, Nov 21st | 6-8P

More About But It Was Something About Living

The collaborative installation, But It Was Something About Living, explores the bodily process of digesting grief and how this innately personal experience can become communal. The work is an ongoing conversation between the collaborating artists and a practice in coalition building. The work explores parallels between digestion and processing, between the bodily and the communal, and between material and emotional costs. The installation consists of relics of community gatherings, shared practices, and of exercises in building and brainstorming where we should go from here.

Vincent van Gelder, piano
2025-11-11 19:30 - 21:00 | Tew Recital Hall, 100 McIver St, Greensboro, 27412, United States
“Dr. Vincent van Gelder is a formidably equipped, no-nonsense virtuoso”

– Carnegie Hall. New York Concert Review

“…essentially a poetic artist rather than a barnstormer, and his program, whilst it by no means avoided the technically challenging, was notable for the range of beautiful sounds”

– Deptford Concert Hall. London Musical Opinion/British Liszt Society

“…brought out the different layers in Chopin’s 4 Ballades with the precision of a brain surgeon”.

– St. Louis Post

“The performance of the Liszt bm Sonata was memorable. As for his master classes, the students were full of attention, and Dr. van Gelder was able to make major changes with just the slightest of suggestions”

– Twentse Courant Tubantia, The Netherlands

“Vincent composed romantic, impressive music in the spirit of Liszt and his contemporaries. The music was magnificent and magnified the atmosphere of the artwork”

– Harpa Concert Hall. Fretabladid newspaper, Iceland

Dr. Vincent van Gelder was born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He won top prizes in several national and international piano competitions, including the Liszt-Garrison International Piano Competition, New York Artist International Competition, and St. Louis Artist Presentation competition. He has performed in many states in the US, as well as multiple countries throughout Europe, a notable example being a well-reviewed solo recital at Carnegie Hall. In 2008 he nearly lost the index finger of his left hand, but thanks to a successful surgery he made a near full recovery.

He has been a soloist with several orchestras, and worked with conductors such as Hans Vonk. As a chamber pianist Vincent, performed with musicians like Dmitri Sitkovetski, members of the Ciompi Quartet, Red Clay Quartet, and his wife, Dr. Ināra Zandmane. He has collaborated with several composers including the Argentinean composer Alejandro Rutty, who wrote a piano concerto for him that premiered at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Symphony orchestra.

Highly acclaimed performances were in London, England, the Van Cliburn Festival, and Harpa Hall in Iceland. As a composer, he won the 2025 International

Fidelio Piano Composition Competition in Madrid, Spain. Dr. van Gelder’s recordings have been played on radio and tv stations in the US as well as The Netherlands.

In June of 2018 he performed at Harpa Hall in Reykjavik Iceland, where he performed the world premiere of one of his own works, ‘Guardians of Iceland-Eylin’s Journey’—a large, multi-movement piece based on Icelandic legends, a piano performance accompanied by artwork from his then 13 year old daughter, Natalie van Gelder. Their next project, ‘Ardenuir: The Stone in the Sword,’ saw its premiere in 2022 at the Virginia Somerville Sutton Theatre in Greensboro, North Carolina. They subsequently toured many concert halls in North Carolina.

In September 2024, Natalie published her first animated short film, ‘Home Cooked Meals’, with an original soundtrack written and performed by Vincent van Gelder. This short film is a featured animation at the NC Film Festival, the Cary Film Festival, the Raleigh Film and Art Festival, and OUT at the Movies International Film Festival.

In 2024, Dr. van Gelder was invited to do record works by Jacobo Palm and other Caribbean composers for the Palm Foundation in The Netherlands. This is an ongoing project.

Dr. van Gelder studied in Holland, Latvia, and the US, receiving two Masters and subsequently a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in piano performance from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. His most influential teachers were Leslie Howard, Czerny-Stefanska, Teofils Bikis, Arnis Zandmanis, Wilfred Delphin, and Richard Cass.

He has been a member of the piano faculty at Duke University. He is the founder and president of the Triad Institute for Young Musicians.
