Some of her signature operatic roles include Mimí in La bohème\, Leila in Les pêcheurs des perles\, Donna Anna and Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni\, Micaëla in Carmen\, Marguerite in Faust\, and Violetta in La Traviata. An original cast member of Baz Luhrmann’s La Bohème on Broadway as Mimí\, she won a Los Angeles Theater Alliance Award and performed on the Tony Awards Presentation. \n\n\n\nBurnett was on the roster of principal artists at the Metropolitan Opera for eight consecutive seasons debuting as Bianca in La Rondine. She was a member of the closing cast of Phantom of the Opera on Broadway\, making appearances as “Carlotta Giudicelli” since 2016. \n\n\n\nIn February 2021\, Burnett released her debut album\, Love the Color of Your Butterfly\, which features musical arrangements and collaborations with some of the world’s finest jazz musicians including Christian Sands\, Sullivan Fortner Jr.\, Casey Benjamin\, and Terreon Gully who produced the project. Released on her own record label Clazz Records\, Love the Color of Your Butterfly is an amalgamation of jazz\, opera\, art song\, oratorio\, rhythm and blues\, and spirituals and introduces her concept of “Clazz\,” which encourages collaboration and redefines the parameters of genre while embracing parts of history that are erased\, widely unknown and forgotten. Love the Color of Your Butterfly has been featured in numerous publications including the Financial Times\, Playbill\, Broadway World\, Downbeat Magazine\, and Opera News. \n\n\n\nBurnett has been a guest artist and taught masterclasses at Eastern Mennonite University\, The Cinema School\, Clark University\, and Bar Harbor Music Festival. She holds an MM from the Eastman School of Music and a BA from Spelman College. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nErik Santos is a composer\, multi-instrumentalist\, singer\, producer\, and teacher\, who is active in many musical genres\, from rock and jazz\, to classical\, to electronic\, world music\, and music for theater and dance. He is the Chair of the Composition Department at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance. \n\n\n\nAs the first-born in a family of musicians – father Rosendo Ejercito Santos\, Jr.\, mother Harriet\, brothers Nathan and Jason – music has always been at the core of his life practice\, both as a profession and hobby. \n\n\n\nProfessor Santos has received commissions\, prizes\, fellowships\, and other recognitions for his concert music\, including the prestigious 2020 Sousa-ABA-Ostwald Prize from the American Bandmasters Association\, the Charles Ives Scholarship\, and the Charles Ives Fellowship from The American Academy of Arts and Letters\, awards from Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI)\, the MacDowell Colony\, the Bozeman Symphony\, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago\, the Rackham Graduate School of U-M\, and the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA). \n\n\n\nBut\, in recent years\, Santos has become increasingly preoccupied with presenting music in venues other than the classical concert hall  — dance clubs\, street corners\, radio\, theaters\, churches\, museums\, cafes\, car stereos\, movies\, Internet\, iPods\, etc. — where there is more emphasis given to the interaction of music with other spontaneous sensory elements\, involving listeners at the hub of a transdimensional experience. This interest flourished in 2002 when he was invited to join the pioneering and internationally celebrated Japanese butoh company Dairakudakan: Temputenshiki (avant-garde dance/theater)\, as a resident composer—a potent collaboration that continues to this day. \n\n\n\nIn 2005\, Santos and artist/singer Toko Shiiki formed an upbeat band called October Babies\, which has performed a large variety of original multi-cultural and multi-lingual dance songs in America and Japan. (Check out their 2020 EP Find New Way\, and new videos!) They affiliated with the local Ann Arbor music label/collective Oddfellow Music\, which later became Willis Sound. Having completed 5 albums\, along with music videos and documentaries with October Babies\, Santos and Shiiki became interested in filmmaking\, and this led to the full-length movie Threshold: Whispers of Fukushima in 2015. This project focuses on the lives of several musicians who have chosen to live in their homeland of Fukushima\, Japan\, despite the devastation of earthquake and tsunami\, the threat of the failing nuclear reactor\, and even persecution by fellow human beings. By 2019\, they completed three more films inspired by creative relationships they formed in Fukushima (Over the Sky\, Passing the Baton\, and Up the Mountain)\, as well as the film We Women Weave\, about the Moonseed Movement Troupe. \n\n\n\nThe creative relationships formed in the making of Threshold have continued to grow. For example\, in 2016\, Santos and Shiiki co-organized a partnership with the University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies\, the Center for Japanese Studies\, and SMTD\, to invite the fiery Japanese youth drum ensemble Yamakiya Taiko to perform at the University of Michigan for The Fukushima Tribute Concert/Residency. This week-long event began with a thunderous concert at the Power Center and continued with a bunch of rousing Taiko workshops around campus and town. The ensemble premiered a new work Santos wrote for them and a cadre of U-M student drummers\, called “Armadillo Flow.” Check out the video! \n\n\n\nSantos has been on the Michigan local original music scene for XX years\, with bands October Babies\, The Crossed Lines\, 16 More Miles\, and Citygoat\, and he’s hosted several long-running Open Mic stages in the area. These days\, he’s possessed by a fresh passion for practicing – learning\, unlearning\, all day every day – memorizing poetry\, investigating inventions of Bach and Bruce Lee\, and Vince Gilligan\, enjoying sound. \n\n\n\n\nWind Ensemble\nThe UNCG Wind Ensemble is a highly select concert band of fifty performers majoring in music at the UNCG School of Music. Performers in the current Wind Ensemble are drawn from sixteen states\, Slovenia\, and Hong Kong. The ensemble has enjoyed a distinguished record of performance throughout its history. In January 1992\, the UNCG Wind Ensemble performed “A Tribute to John Philip Sousa” to a capacity crowd of 2\,700 at the Concert Hall of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington\, D.C. Twice\, the Wind Ensemble earned critical acclaim from The Washington Post following concerts in the nation’s capital. The Wind Ensemble has performed throughout the eastern United States in recent years including the first-ever performance\, in 1987\, by a North Carolina collegiate ensemble in Lincoln Center\, New York City. The Wind Ensemble performed that same year in West Virginia\, Virginia\, Pennsylvania\, and Washington\, D.C. The Wind Ensemble has recorded nineteen commercially-available albums which have received widespread praise.

SUMMARY:Jasmine Pigott\, tuba
DESCRIPTION:https://youtube.com/live/9js7bJjocyY?feature=share\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNot your traditional origin story\, Dr. Jasmine “Jazzie” Pigott genuinely wanted to play the tuba from a young age because of a show called Veggie Tales. Only\, in the fourth grade\, she made the mistake of confusing it with the trombone and choosing that instead. Not impressed\, she dealt with that for a year before jumping on the opportunity to bug her band director until he finally handed her an authentic tuba. This was true love at first sight\, becoming her strongest life-long commitment at only the age of 10.  \n\n\n\nWith finding nothing more promising than a career as a musician\, Dr. Jazzie decided to follow that as her career path. Torn between majoring in voice or tuba\, she made the tough decision to put voice to the side to follow her true calling as a professional tuba player and educator. However\, since then\, she has found a way to showcase her voice with the tuba. She attended Ithaca College for music education\, until realizing after her sophomore elective recital that she enjoyed solo performance so much that she added a performance degree. During that year\, she also began to once again participate in choirs\, becoming one of the student leaders of the Dorothy Cotton Jubilee Singers under the direction of Dr. Baruch Whitehead. Through these various avenues of performance\, Dr. Jazzie learned how to find and use her voice in more than music.  \n\n\n\nFollowing the 2016 election\, Dr. Jazzie formed the IC Musicians of Color\, her first exploration into making spaces for musicians of color and allies in predominantly white environments. At this time\, however\, the tensions of the world seeped into her personal life. Her best friend and roommate ended up a secret neo-nazi\, who left the school suddenly and harassed her for months on end\, calling her the N-word and threatening to join the KKK. While heart breaking\, this experience empowered her to dive headfirst into using her career as a platform for social change–to do what she could to prevent the same situations from happening to other people of color by sharing her story and promoting the value of representation in the field. \n\n\n\nIn 2018\, Dr. Jazzie’s first tour as a soloist to Costa Rica\, along with vocalist Fred Peterbark and pianist Oliver Scott\, allowed her to witness the power of representation firsthand as a performer. Performing spirituals for a predominately Black audience in Limon and witnessing the joy as they sang along and applauded changed her forever. Since\, she has completed several research and performance projects with the goal of increasing representation of Black musicians\, music styles\, and composers.

The UNCG Choirs have performed at state\, regional\, national and international conferences. Dr. Carole Ott serves as Director of Choral Activities and conductor of Chamber Singers and Chorale. Prof. Lindsay Kesselman is conductor of Coro di Belle Voci. Dr. Brett Nolker is conductor of Spartan Voices.  \n\n\n\nThe mission of the UNCG Choirs is dedicated to the teaching\, performance\, study and cultivation of choral music of the highest quality representing not just the western choral canon but also choral music of other cultures by a diverse body of historical and new composers. We believe that the UNCG Choirs are a serious and distinctive medium of musical expression\, of vital service and importance to its members and to UNCG. Through ensemble performance\, we strive to create an environment of trust\, communication\, and expressive freedom\, to present outstanding performances throughout the year\, and to enhance the institutional sprit and character of UNCG. To music as an art and a profession\, the UNCG Choirs seek to bring increasing artistry\, understanding\, and respect by efforts within our own immediate sphere and by providing leadership and sponsorship to school choral programs and through cooperation with all other agencies pursuing similar musical goals. \n\n\n\n\nUNCG Choirs
