SUMMARY:Crossing the Coulee
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nExhibition runs October 16 – December 5\, 2025 Monday – Friday\, 8am – 4pmArtist Talk and Reception October 16\, 4:30pm

There was a tiny newspaper item about a Veronese academic who had taken on the task of replying to letters addressed to ‘Juliet Capulet.’ \n\n\n\nThis apparently continued for a number of years\, until some gentlemen of the press exposed this secret correspondence. Quite how he came by these letters in the first place remains unclear. We can only make a guess as to their content. After all\, these people were writing to an Imaginary woman\, and a dead imaginary woman at that. Perhaps they were simply scholarly enquiries\, or letters of sympathy from others disappointed in love\, or even a plea from somebody forced into an unhappy arranged marriage. Whatever was contained in these letters and their replies\, the idea of this correspondence provided the initial inspiration” for The Juliet Letters\, a song sequence for string quartet and voice—a collaboration between Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet. \n\n\n\n\nLyrics\nDeliver Us\n\n\n\nInstrumental \n\n\n\nFor Other Eyes\n\n\n\nI don’t know what I would doIf this letter should fall intoOther hands than it should pass throughFor other eyes \n\n\n\nHe said\, “It was nothing… it’s over and done”But the rotten worm was burrowing stillIts spirit invades me bleeding me whiteFor other repliesI searched his pocketsI searched his eyesI searched his wallet for clues and liesAnd I found a number that I somehow dialledA woman answered\, a woman smiledThen she hung up on the silence unperplexedInnocently spun her rolodexI dialled again I could not resistRevealing just the dentist receptionist \n\n\n\nOne day we’lI laugh about it or maybe we’lI curseBut there is one thing that is making it worseAnd it’s the lack of forgiveness that I can’t disguiseNo matter how well he liesNow we don’t know each other anymoreAnd when we touch our lips feel soreI question the longing left in his sighsFor other eyes \n\n\n\nSwine\n\n\n\nYou’re a swine and I’m saying that’s an insult to the pigIn the foul furrow that you digWhy don’t you lay your head downIn that unconsecrated groundWAS she your MOTHER?Or WAS she your brldeTo defile and to blisterTo gnaw at her sideIs this the end of the world?Now that you’ve finished your lifeThis RIDDLE is the work of my little pen-knife \n\n\n\nExpert Rites\n\n\n\nI marvel at the wonder of it in our souless ageFast flow the tears upon the pageDon’t be alarmed I am her friendWill I be excused if I presumeIt’s more than disappointment that we shareYou share the same sorry life\, the families fight\,that unhappy blade you both inviteThis romantic ideal has a lonely appealI once loved someone the way that you doBut I had to let her goI live with my regretDon’t despair my would-be Juliet \n\n\n\nDead Letter\n\n\n\nInstrumental \n\n\n\nI Almost Had a Weakness\n\n\n\nThank you for the flowersI threw them on the fireAnd I burned the photographs that you had enclosedGOD they were ugly childrenSo you’re the little bastard of that brother of mineTrying to trick a poor old woman‘Til I almost had a weaknessLast week Cousin FlorenceBit your Uncle JoeHit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork(She) said that he looked like the devilThen she said… “pass the vinegar\,” I’m beginning to think(That) I’m the only one who hasn’t taken to the drinking of itThough I almost had a weakness \n\n\n\nIt pains me to mentionThese delicate concernsWhile I have to tolerate you family jewelsI really mustn’t grumble(‘Cause) when I die the cats and dogs will jump up and downAnd you little swines will get nothingThough I almost had a weakness \n\n\n\nWhy?\n\n\n\nWhy is Daddy not here?Are you crying?Why?Does he still love me?Will you take care of me?If you both love me soWhy don’t you love each otherMummy’s gone missingDaddy’s on fireDaddy’s on fireDaddy’s on fire \n\n\n\nWho Do You Think You Are?\n\n\n\nThe hunted look\, the haunted graceThe empty laugh that you cultivateYou fall into that false embraceAnd kiss the air about her faceWho do you think you are?The tres bon mots you almost quote from yourQUIVER of literary dartsA thousand or so tuneless violins thrilling your cheaplittle heartWho do you think you are?

SUMMARY:George Fu\, piano
DESCRIPTION:American pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu is “one of the most exciting pianists of our time… a deep thinker\, thoroughly in command” (The Arts Desk). The winner of BBC Music Magazine’s 2024 Newcomer Award\, he is garnering international acclaim as a fearless and probing interpreter of a wide array of music\, combining “phenomenal technique with a profound sense of interpretative clarity” (Apple Music).   \n\n\n\nHighlights for Fu’s 2025-26 season include his solo debut at the Frick Collection in New York City\, playing the entire cycle of Oliver Messiaen’ Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus; as well as a new solo piano commission he is writing for his recital at Wigmore Hall in London. He also appears at the Concertgebuow and with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia with his ensemble\, Trio Zimbalist\, comprised of violinist Josef Špaček and cellist Timotheos Gavriilidis-Petrin.   \n\n\n\nFu has appeared throughout major venues around the world such as the Wigmore Hall\, Carnegie Hall\, 92nd Street Y\, Konzerthaus Berlin\, Kennedy Center\, St Martin In the Fields\, the Southbank Centre\, and Kings Place. As concerto soloist he has performed with National Symphony Orchestra (USA)\, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra\, North Carolina Symphony\, Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra\, and the Curtis Symphony Orchestra\, amongst others. He appears regularly at festivals worldwide such as the Aldeburgh\, Ryedale\, Presteigne\, Tanglewood\, Smetanova Litomyšl\, and the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festivals. His performances and interviews have been featured on broadcasts around the world\, ranging from BBC Radio 3 and National Public Radio\, to appearances on PBS/American Public Television and On Stage At Curtis in Philadelphia. In addition to Trio Zimbalist\, Fu enjoys fruitful collaborations with a wide variety of artists such as Roberto Díaz (viola)\, Dmitri Sitkovetsky (violin)\, Tamsin Waley-Cohen (violin)\, Mika Sasaki (piano)\, Liv Redpath (soprano)\, and Lotte Betts-Dean (mezzo-soprano).   \n\n\n\nAs an emerging composer\, Fu’s growing catalogue of original works and arrangements exhibits fresh imagination and virtuosity\, all the while drawing from a lifetime of studying a vast repertoire spanning several centuries. His Passacaglia on a Theme by Radiohead was recently featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered and hailed as “kind of mind-blowing” by Robin Hilton; while his arrangements of Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2 and Smetana’s Dance of the Comedians have seen successful debuts internationally. This year Trio Zimbalist will debut his first Piano Trio throughout concerts in the US.  \n\n\n\nFu’s second studio album\, Colouring Book\, was released with Platoon Classical in March 2025 to international acclaim\, with Gramophone Magazine hailing it as one of the best classical releases of the year: “Fu plays his own music with tremendous authority and colouristic resources\, as he also does with the Cruttwell-Reade and Aucoin selections… As for the Debussy Études\, Fu’s recordings contain some of the most enchantingly characterised interpretations I’ve heard since those of Ju-Ying Song\, Florent Boffard\, Mitsuko Uchida and Jean-Efflam Bavouzet. Yes\, they’re that good!” (Jed Distler) His first solo album\, MIRRORS (Platoon)\, won BBC Music Magazine’s 2024 Newcomer Award for best debut release.  \n\n\n\nFu made his concerto debut with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center at the age of 17. After earning a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard University\, Fu studied with Jonathan Biss and Meng-Chieh Liu at the Curtis Institute of Music\, and then with Christopher Elton and the Dame Myra Hess Chair of Piano Joanna MacGregor at the Royal Academy of Music. Additional mentors have included David Ludwig and Pierre-Laurent Aimard. He resides in London.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\n\nDownload Program\n\n\n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe importance of philanthropy has never been greater.

SUMMARY:Count Basie Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:In the history of Jazz\, there is only one bandleader that has the distinction of having his orchestra still performing sold-out concerts all over the world\, with members personally chosen by him\, for nearly 40 years after his passing. Pianist and bandleader William James “Count” Basie was and still is an American institution that personifies the grandeur and excellence of Jazz. The Count Basie Orchestra\, today directed by Scotty Barnhart\, has won every respected jazz poll in the world at least once; won 18 Grammy Awards; performed for Kings\, Queens\, and other world Royalty; appeared in several movies and television shows; and at every major jazz festival and major concert hall in the world. \n\n\n\nThe most recent honor is a 2024 Grammy Win of Best Large Jazz Ensemble for Basie Swings the Blues!  Other honors include their 2022 Grammy Nomination for Live at Birdland\, a 2018 Grammy Nomination for All About That Basie\, which features special guests Stevie Wonder\, Jon Faddis\, and Take 6 among others\, and the 2018 Downbeat Readers Poll Award as the #1 Jazz Orchestra in the world. Their critically acclaimed release in 2015 of A Very Swingin’ Basie Christmas! is the very first holiday album in the 80-year history of the orchestra. Released on Concord Music\, it went to #1 on the Jazz charts and sold out on Amazon! Special guests include vocalists Johnny Mathis\, Ledisi\, our own Carmen Bradford\, and pianist Ellis Marsalis. \n\n\n\nA BBC TV-produced documentary on Mr. Basie and the orchestra titled Count Basie: Through His Own Eyes premiered on PBS in the US and UK in 2019 coinciding with the orchestra’s 85th Anniversary. It features interviews by Quincy Jones\, Scotty Barnhart\, Dee Askew\, John Williams\, and several other important members and associates of Mr. Basie and the orchestra.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrchestra/MezzBalconyUNCG Students$7.50$7.50UNCG Faculty/Staff$25.00$25.00Adults$65.00$50.00Seniors/Military$55.00$40.00Children (K-12)$30.00$15.00\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n\n\n\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\n\n\nSome of the greatest soloists\, composers\, arrangers\, and vocalists in jazz history such as Lester Young\, Billie Holiday\, Frank Foster\, Thad Jones\, Sonny Payne\, Freddie Green\, Snooky Young\, Frank Wess\, and Joe Williams\, became international stars once they began working with the legendary Count Basie Orchestra. This great 18-member orchestra is continuing the excellent history started by Basie of stomping and shouting the blues\, as well as refining those musical particulars that allow for the deepest and most moving of swing.  \n\n\n\nCurrent members include one musician hired by Basie himself: trombonist Clarence Banks (1984).  Long-time members include Doug Miller (1989\, formerly w/Lionel Hampton)\, guitarist Will Matthews from Kansas City (1996)\, and members who have 15-25 years of service; trombonist Mark Williams\, trumpeters Shawn Edmonds and Endre Rice\, saxophonists Doug Lawrence (formerly w/Benny Goodman) and returning on lead alto\, David Glasser.  Newer members include bassist Trevor Ware\, lead trumpeter Frank Greene III\, trumpeter Brandon Lee\, pianist Reginald Thomas\, lead trombonist Isrea Butler\, bass trombonist Ronald Wilkins\, alto sax and flute Stantawn Kendrick\, and the youngest members\, drummer Robert Boone and baritone saxophonist Josh Lee.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to public presentations\, artists in the UCLS series have important interactions with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses\, talkback sessions\, and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage. Thanks to a grant from The Cemala Foundation\, some of these artists also work with K-12 students in the Guilford County Schools.

You in? \n\n\n\nCuratorial Statement \n\n\n\nStories untold often just need space to be heard\, felt\, seen and more importantly\, experienced. Making space is taking space. “Third spaces” are the kind DSCo holds conversation in. These exist as syncretic hubs\, embracing a variety of identities and fostering interest. Championing intersectionality\, [ ] gives space to a community with a ring of its own. \n\n\n\nDismantled Supply Co. presents to you\, [ ] . \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Gallery Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday – Friday\, 12 -5 PM \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5PM
