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. \n\n\n\nMore About the Artists \n\n\n\nIsabella Gamez is a printmaker and painter floating between North Carolina and Connecticut. Her work focuses on disease\, its relationship with the body\, and influences from public health.  \n\n\n\nLearn more about Isabella here \n\n\n\nMaya Rampel is a multimedia visual artist and designer based in North Carolina.

SUMMARY:Vincent van Gelder\, piano
DESCRIPTION:“Dr. Vincent van Gelder is a formidably equipped\, no-nonsense virtuoso”  \n\n\n\n– Carnegie Hall. New York Concert Review  \n\n\n\n“…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”  \n\n\n\n– Deptford Concert Hall. London Musical Opinion/British Liszt Society  \n\n\n\n“…brought out the different layers in Chopin’s 4 Ballades with the precision of a brain surgeon”.  \n\n\n\n– St. Louis Post  \n\n\n\n“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”  \n\n\n\n– Twentse Courant Tubantia\, The Netherlands  \n\n\n\n“Vincent composed romantic\, impressive music in the spirit of Liszt and his contemporaries. The music was magnificent and magnified the atmosphere of the artwork”  \n\n\n\n– Harpa Concert Hall. Fretabladid newspaper\, Iceland  \n\n\n\nDr. 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.  \n\n\n\nHe 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.  \n\n\n\nHighly acclaimed performances were in London\, England\, the Van Cliburn Festival\, and Harpa Hall in Iceland. As a composer\, he won the 2025 International  \n\n\n\nFidelio 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.  \n\n\n\nIn 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.  \n\n\n\nIn 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.  \n\n\n\nIn 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.  \n\n\n\nDr. 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.  \n\n\n\nHe has been a member of the piano faculty at Duke University. He is the founder and president of the Triad Institute for Young Musicians.  \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: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

SUMMARY:Shades of Blue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the inaugural presentation of the UNCG Vocal Jazz Ensemble\, Shades of Blue! This concert will be an exploration of innovative arrangements of group vocal jazz repertoire\, solos\, and collaborations with instrumentalists. Featuring the music of Duke Ellington\, Cole Porter\, and Miles Davis\, with songs in the style of Ella Fitzgerald\, Betty Carter\, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. \n\n\n\nPlease note that The Crown elevator is currently undergoing maintenance.

Pianist Christian Sands and bassist John Clayton will come to Greensboro for residencies with students and concerts which will be open to the public. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\n UNCG offers the following degree programs for students interested in studying Jazz: \n\n\n\n\nBachelor of Music (B.M.) – Performance\n\n\n\nPost-Baccalaureate Certificate in Jazz Studies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nTicketPriceAdult$13.00Seniors$7.00Student$7.00Ticket prices do not include a $3.00 processing fee and applicable sales tax.\n\n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe importance of philanthropy has never been greater.

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

SUMMARY:Symphonic Band
DESCRIPTION:https://youtube.com/live/8dXsdSsper8?feature=share\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Caldwell\, conductorGarrett Klein\, trumpetJuan José Navarro\, guest conductor \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nOSCAR NAVARRODowney Overture (2011) \n\n\n\nULYSSES KAYSolemn Prelude (1950) \n\n\n\nPHILIP SPARKEManhattan (2004) \n\n\n\nMANUEL MORALES MARTÍNEZSoñad el mar pasodoble (2020) \n\n\n\nPERCY GRAINGERCountry Gardens (1918)Irish Tune from County Derry (1918)Shepherd’s Hey (1918) \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Program\nDowney Overture\n\n\n\nÓscar Navarro is a Spanish composer and conductor. He studied clarinet\, composition\, and conducting in Spain and later specialized in film and television scoring at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. His music has been performed worldwide by orchestras and symphonic bands\, including the Downey Symphony Orchestra\, for whom this overture was written. Downey Overture was composed as a celebration of both Navarro’s native Spain and his time in California. It is dedicated to the Downey Symphony Orchestra and its conductor Sharon Lavery. Navarro describes the piece as “a Latin-American fusion…an amalgam of rhythm and musical color wrapped in an atmosphere of dance.” The overture opens with bold\, dance-inspired rhythms\, with percussion and winds engaging in rhythmic interplay. The music moves through contrasting sections\, from lively to more dramatic\, and concludes by returning to earlier themes\, leaving a sense of energy and unity. \n\n\n\nNote by Óscar Navarro and Molly Allman \n\n\n\nSolemn Prelude\n\n\n\nUlysses S. Kay\, an American composer and educator\, was born in Tucson\, Arizona\, where he grew up surrounded by musical influence. His great-uncle\, American jazz cornetist King Oliver\, encouraged Kay to study piano. Kay studied at the University of Arizona\, the Eastman School of Music\, and Columbia University\, working with mentors including Howard Hanson and Paul Hindemith. Over his career\, he composed more than forty orchestral works\, five operas\, nearly fifty choral compositions\, and seven original works for band\, establishing himself as a significant twentieth-century composer. Kay was also one of the most successful African-American composers of his generation and gained widespread recognition in the classical world breaking barriers for other Black artists. He received numerous honors including a Guggenheim fellowship\, two Prix de Rome selections\, and six honorary doctorates. Despite his success and contributions\, Kay’s band works remain lesser-known and infrequently performed. Solemn Prelude (1950) was commissioned by Donald I. Moore for the Baylor University Golden Wave Band. Initially published by Broadcast Music Incorporated and Associated Music Publishing\, a typewritten note in the Ulysses Kay Archives indicates it was later listed as withdrawn\, leaving it unclear whether Kay intended it to be published or performed. Solemn Prelude is composed in an ABA form and exemplifies Kay’s compositional philosophy: “I [am] using quite simple musical materials and avoiding all so-called ‘effects\,’ [and] I have attempted to achieve symphonic expression while observing the characteristic qualities of the full concert band.” The slow and melodic work is built from a recurring rhythmic motive in D Minor\, first heard in the saxophones and low brass\, which accompanies the opening euphonium solo. Then solo passages are passed across the ensemble to include flute\, oboe\, trumpet\, and bassoon. The initial rhythmic motive returns and dominates the texture in the closing measures. \n\n\n\nNote by Patty Saunders \n\n\n\nSong and Dance\n\n\n\nPhilip Sparke is an English composer who has written extensively for brass band. In 1983\, the GUS Band\, a British brass band\, commissioned Sparke to write Jubilee Overture for an upcoming recording session and to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Following the success of Jubilee Overture\, the band commissioned Song and Dance the next year. In 2009\, Geoffrey Brand arranged Song and Dance for solo cornet and concert band. Song and Dance is a single movement piece in two sections\, a song followed by a dance. The “Song” features a “Scotch snap” rhythm followed by a lyrical cadenza leading to a muted presentation of the opening theme. The “Dance” is lively and tuneful with frequently changing meters to accompany the dancing melody. \n\n\n\nNote by Philip Sparke and Jaden Brown \n\n\n\nPageant\, op. 59\n\n\n\nVincent Persichetti was an American composer\, educator\, and pianist\, and an influential figure in early band literature. In the immediate aftermath of World War II\, bands struggled to program substantial\, original repertoire written specifically for band. Persichetti’s insistence on composing high quality music helped move the medium forward in many ways. In 1952\, Edwin Franko Goldman\, founder of the Goldman Band in New York City and the American Bandmasters Association (ABA)\, commissioned Persichetti to write a piece for the upcoming ABA Convention. Pageant was premiered at the 1953 ABA Convention in Miami\, Florida with Persichetti conducting the University of Miami Band. Early manuscript sketches of Pageant show that the piece was initially meant to be titled Morning Music for Band. Traces of the idea of “morning music” can be heard in the opening horn motif and the clarinet soli that follows. The piece is in two sections\, the first being slower and more lyrical and the second being a “parade” section introduced by the snare drum. \n\n\n\nNote by Vincent Persichetti and Jaden Brown \n\n\n\nSoñad el mar\n\n\n\nManuel Morales Martínez is a Spanish composer and conductor whose work focuses on wind ensembles across the Valencian region\, a heartland of Spanish band music tradition. Soñad el mar was composed in 2017 for the Banda Primitiva de Rafelbuñol and is a concert pasodoble. While a concert pasodoble maintains the characteristic pasodoble rhythmic framework\, these pasodobles are slower and more formally\, harmonically\, and melodically complex than a traditional pasodoble. The piece begins with a percussion-driven introduction\, leads into a bold main theme\, and features solos for horn and english horn in the trio section before returning to the main material. Throughout\, the music recalls the gentle motion of the sea while retaining the characteristic pulse of the pasodoble. Martínez describes the work as “tonal\, Romantic style and captures the calmness of the Mediterranean Sea.” \n\n\n\nNote by Manuel Morales Martínez and Molly Allman \n\n\n\nCountry GardensIrish Tune from County DerryShepherd’s Hey\n\n\n\nPercy Grainger (1882–1961)\, an Australian-born composer and pianist\, played a pivotal role in the early development of band literature in the early twentieth century through innovative orchestration and adventurous rhythms and meters. Known for his inclusion of folk melodies\, Grainger used Edison wax-cylinder phonographs to collect English folk songs throughout Britain often collaborating with Cecil Sharp\, a renowned collector. Fascinated by the unique performances of the singers and often integrating the tunes into his compositions\, he sought ways to capture the nuances of pitch and rhythm in his works. Grainger’s contributions to band repertoire include cornerstone works such as Lincolnshire Posy and Colonial Song. Country Gardens (1918) is an English folk tune shared with Grainger by Cecil Sharp based on the tune “The Vicar of Bray.” Grainger played improvisations on it as a concert pianist during his tour for the U.S. Army during World War I and later presented the song to his mother as a birthday gift. Despite its immense popularity\, Grainger referred to it as “my wretched tone art.” Grainger arranged the piece for band in 1953. In his program notes\, he wrote: “The typical English country garden is not often used to grow flowers in; it is more likely to be a vegetable plot. So you can think of turnips as I play it.” Irish Tune from County Derry (1918) highlights the lyrical beauty of folk song. The tune was collected by Miss J. Ross from New Town\, Limavady\, Co. Derry\, Ireland without a specific tune being credited. Grainger stated\, “The name of the tune unfortunately was not ascertained by Miss Ross\, who sent it to me with the simple remark that it was ‘very old\,’ in the correctness of which statement I have no hesitation in expressing my perfect concurrence.” The melody is shared by the song “Danny Boy\,” whose lyrics were composed by English songwriter Frederic Weatherly after Grainger had already arranged the tune. Grainger also arranged the melody in a version for wordless chorus. Shepherd’s Hey (1918)\, published and sold with Irish Tune from County Derry for many years\, is a lively arrangement of a Morris dance tune from rural English tradition. The “Hey” in the title refers to a specific Morris dance step\, though Grainger noted\, “This setting is not suitable to dance Morris Dance to.” Morris dances traditionally feature teams of “Morris Men” performing with bells and clashing sticks. Grainger collected the original melody and states that the work should be played “in a jolly\, energetic manner—with bounce and relish.” \n\n\n\nNote by Patty Saunders \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\nGarrett Klein\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrumpet artist Garrett Klein has garnered an international reputation for his varied performing career and dedicated teaching.
