You will hear music that embodies the familiar “Americana” style alongside works reflecting the landscapes and cultural narratives of Puerto Rico\, the Muskogee (Creek) Nation\, Harlem\, and more. By weaving together these different stories\, we hope to spark meaningful conversations about the richness and complexity of what being “American” truly encompasses.

SUMMARY:Irna Priore Music and Culture Lecture Series: Anna Gatdula
DESCRIPTION:The importance of philanthropy has never been greater. Please consider a gift to the School of Music to support our mission and ensure the future of music at UNCG. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Our Email List\n\n\n\n\n\n\nListening for the Voiceless: Musical Representation and Historical Subjectivity in Hosokawa’s Voiceless Voice in Hiroshima\n\n\n\nThis paper examines Toshio Hosokawa’s Voiceless Voice in Hiroshima (1989\, 2001) as a sonic archive that opens inquiry into the contradictory nature of historical matter: the subjects and objects of history\, the perpetrators and victims of trauma. Through close analysis of the composition’s musical techniques and textual elements\, alongside consideration of Kitaro Nishida’s philosophy\, voice and trauma studies\, and comparative historiographies of post-War Europe and Japan\, the paper argues that Hosokawa’s work challenges Western paradigms of historical subjectivity. The study traces how Hosokawa’s piece evolved over its compositional life\, reflecting shifting understandings of Hiroshima’s place in post-War global and Japanese memory. By incorporating texts from Holocaust survivor Paul Celan\, Hosokawa creates a transpacific dialogue that both connects and distinguishes these two pivotal 20th-century events.  \n\n\n\nThe paper critically examines the notion of “voicelessness” in relation to hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors)\, considering tensions between silence and testimony\, individual and collective memory\, and the politics of victimhood and reparation. Whose voice is voiceless? The victims\, the perpetrators\, the traumatized? Furthermore\, what is a priori in the act of identifying and identifying with historical voices? I argue that Hosokawa’s work\, informed by Nishida’s philosophy\, offers an alternative ontology to Western subject-object distinctions. Following David Eng (2022)\, the paper begins to theorize historical redress outside paradigms of sovereignty altogether. Ultimately\, this analysis of Voiceless Voice in Hiroshima contributes to ongoing discourse about the role of art in mediating historical memory and the politics of representation.)

SUMMARY:Nicholas Susi\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Download Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe importance of philanthropy has never been greater. Please consider a gift to the School of Music to support our mission and ensure the future of music at UNCG. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Our Email List\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtube.com/live/QjXDtjjuyeU?feature=share\n\n\n\n\nWorld Music – Authentic and Imagined\n\n\n\nFor hundreds of years\, folk music has been a source of inspiration for classical composers. In many cases\, this inspiration stems from the desire of a composer to broadcast the richness of their native culture’s music to the rest of the world. In other cases\, a composer becomes inspired by the music of a foreign land and imagines how they might compose music in that style. Both of these avenues offer glimpses into music around the world\, both authentic and imagined. This program explores music inspired by Ancient Egypt\, through 19th-century Eastern Europe\, to modern day Ecuador. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescribed in The WholeNote as “an innovative musician and aggressive thinker with a gift for keyboard brilliance\,” Dr. Nicholas Susi enjoys a multifaceted career living out his deep love of music. He recognizes that Classical music has been a transformative force in his life\, and seeks to share its power with others through his teaching and performing.   \n\n\n\nAs a teenager\, Nicholas experienced a musical turning point upon discovering the music of Franz Liszt. Thrilled by the composer’s virtuoso music and inspirational biography\, he became a lifelong super-fan of all things Liszt. Performances and projects centering around the Hungarian composer have been a recurring theme throughout Dr. Susi’s career. He has appeared as soloist in the concerti of Liszt with the Omaha Symphony Orchestra\, Philharmonia of Greater Kansas City\, Taneycomo Festival Orchestra\, and Webster Symphony Orchestra\, and he celebrated the composer’s bicentennial in 2011 with a series of performances of the complete Douze études d’exécution transcendante. In 2014\, Susi advanced to the semifinals of the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition (Utrecht\, The Netherlands) as one of two Americans selected worldwide to participate in this prestigious competition. Most recently\, he made his debut as a published author in the 2020 edition of The Journal of the American Liszt Society; in his article\, Susi offers an interdisciplinary reading of Liszt’s Legend no. 1 by intersecting theoretical analysis with Catholic iconography.   \n\n\n\nDr. Susi’s research has been awarded grants from such organizations as the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD)\, Mu Phi Epsilon Foundation\, and Legacy Foundation for the Arts. These and other grants enabled him to travel\, study\, and perform music across Europe; the experiences of researching Beethoven in Bonn\, Debussy in Paris\, and Mozart in Vienna have been central to his development as a musician and to his cosmopolitan understanding of musical styles. Other noteworthy appearances abroad include recitals at the Cité universitaire de Paris\, two all-Liszt concerts for the Princess von Hohenzollern at her castle in Namedy\, Germany\, and concerto solos with the Wiener Residenz Orchester and Symphonieorchester der Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln.   \n\n\n\nStateside\, Dr. Susi’s career took off upon winning the 2015 National Federation of Music Clubs (NFMC) Young Artist Competition. Winners of this competition receive two years of management\, which resulted in performances\, masterclasses\, and lectures across the country. At the same time\, Susi recorded and released his debut album\, Scarlatti Now\, to critical acclaim; in addition to international radio airplay\, the disc was featured on the prestigious Critics’ Choice list (2017) of American Record Guide and was chosen as a 1st place winner of The American Prize in 2018.   \n\n\n\nDr. Susi is Assistant Professor of Piano at the University of South Carolina\, President of the American Matthay Association\, and Associate Director of the Southeastern Piano Festival. He previously taught piano and music theory at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth\, MN. He completed his doctorate at the University of Michigan\, with previous studies at the University of Kansas and at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln as a two-time DAAD grantee. Primary teachers include Zena Ilyashov\, Jack Winerock\, Nina Tichman\, and Arthur Greene. For details on upcoming appearances and further listening\, please visit www.nicholas-susi.com.

She received a 2017–2018 Fulbright Student Research Award to Poland for Historical Music Performance. This grant supported her dissertation research on organ masses from the Tablature of Johannes of Lublin (ca. 1540)\, culminating in a performance of its three mass cycles with vocal ensemble Flores Rosarum at the fifteenth-century Church of the Holy Cross in Krakow. She has presented at meetings of the Historical Keyboard Society of North America and the SE chapter of the American Musicological Society. \n\n\n\nHer concert programs frequently incorporate works by underappreciated composers. In 2016 Marya Fancey introduced Polish audiences to the music of Florence Price and David Hurd at the Podlaskie Organ Festival and the 18th International Festival of Organ Music at Pelplin Cathedral. She gave the 2015 world premiere of Passacaglia and Triple Fugue (organ) by Louise Talma. In 2011 she performed Sonata No. 2 (piano) by Grażyna Bacewicz at the 15th Annual Festival of Women Composers (Gainesville\, FL). \n\n\n\nIn studio and classroom teaching she augments the traditional classical canon with lesser-known compositions as well as works from a variety of other musical styles. She has taught music studies courses at UNCG\, Guilford College\, and the University of Florida. Her past professional activities include apprentice organ builder\, church organist and choir director\, private music teacher\, and assistant music editor. \n\n\n\nMarya Fancey holds the DMA degree in Organ Performance from UNC-Greensboro\, where she studied with André Lash (organ) and Andrew Willis (harpsichord and fortepiano)\, with a Post-Master’s certificate in Music Theory Pedagogy and a Post-Baccalaureate certificate in Historical Keyboard Performance. Her interest in the scholar-performer model arose from masterclasses with Marie-Claire Alain\, Olivier Latry\, John Grew\, William Porter\, Hank Knox\, and Edoardo Bellotti at multiple McGill Summer Organ Academies between 2005 and 2015.

SUMMARY:Haven Trio
DESCRIPTION:Lindsay Kesselman\, sopranoKimberly Cole\, clarinetMidori Koga\, piano \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe importance of philanthropy has never been greater. Please consider a gift to the School of Music to support our mission and ensure the future of music at UNCG. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Our Email List\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/live/rWS6VUPplCE?si=mQPelvREzut7tXkS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEstablished solo artists soprano Lindsay Kesselman\, clarinetist Kimberly Cole Luevano\, and pianist Midori Koga joined as the Haven Trio in 2011 around performances of Abbie Betinis’ hauntingly beautiful song cycle Nattsanger. Haven released its first album\, Bright Angel\, (Fleur de Son\, Ltd.) in 2013 to critical acclaim: “…amazingly performed works…performances are exquisite as is their ensemble chemistry.” (Sequenza 21)   \n\n\n\nNow in its 13th season\, Haven has commissioned a compelling body of repertoire from its extended family of composers. Their recordings: would that loving were enough (Blue Griffin\, 2024)\, all we are given we cannot hold (Blue Griffin\, 2023)\, Twinge (Blue Griffin\, 2019)\, Atonement (Fleur de Son\, 2015)\, and Bright Angel (Fleur de Son\, 2013) can be found on all streaming platforms. Haven believes in commissioning people\, not pieces of music\, and enjoys ongoing relationships with composers such as Abbie Betinis\, David Biedenbender\, Evan Chambers\, Roshanne Etezady\, Lee Kesselman\, Amy Beth Kirsten\, Gilda Lyons\, Kieren MacMillan\, Jon Magnussen and Ivette Herryman Rodriguez.   \n\n\n\nHaven feels fortunate to have received support from numerous granting organizations in support of new music and is the recipient of a Barlow Endowment Commissioning Grant (2021)\, Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Grant (2021 and 2015)\, Ontario Arts Council Grant (2016) and others.   \n\n\n\nRecent and upcoming performances include: premieres of all we are given we cannot hold by David Biedenbender and poet Robert Fanning\, DE OTRO MUNDO by Ivette Herryman Rodriguez\, Hardwired for Optimism by Roshanne Etezady and poet Carolyn Petit Pinet\, as well as premieres of new arrangements of David Biedenbender’s Shell and Wing and Amy Beth Kirsten’s to my own heart). They were featured in performances at the Chamber Music America conference in New York in 2024\, with Chamber Music International and the Fine Arts Chamber Players in Dallas\, TX\, and also in a residency with the Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto.   \n\n\n\nKim\, Lindsay and Midori are all passionate teachers and actively seek out opportunities to work with student performers and composers. Haven has recently engaged in performing/teaching residencies at Michigan State University\, the Hartt School\, University of Texas – San Antonio\, Sam Houston State University\, Emory and Henry University\, Abilene Christian University\, St. Mary of the Woods College\,College of DuPage and as an Ensemble-in-Residence at the Connecticut Summerfest in June 2022 and 2024.  \n\n\n\nWhether in a living room\, an art gallery\, a school\, or a concert hall\, Haven harnesses the power of vulnerability…inviting its audiences into an intimate and personal experience of contemporary music. Through their composers\, they aim to create artistic experiences which allow audiences to feel welcomed\, included\, and connected to one another through poetry and musical storytelling.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaven Trio\n\n\n\n\n
