Steve Haines (double bass) gratefully returns to playing and teaching after the repair of a heart aneurysm in August, 2025. This concert is dedicated to the doctors at the Cleveland Clinic as well as his incredibly supportive family. He has played with Wycliffe Gordon, Jason Marsalis, Jimmy Cobb, Ralph Bowen, Fred Wesley, and the Joey Calderazzo Trio & Quartet. His latest recordings are Swing State with Thomas Heflin, to be released shortly; Thomas Heflin’s Morning Star (Blue Canoe), alongside Greg Tardy and Mavis Poole; and with legendary drummer Joe Chambers on Samba De Maracatu (Blue Note). Steve has also written for Becca Stevens and full orchestra, heard on Steve Haines and the Third Floor Orchestra (Justin Time) which Japan’s Jazz Life Magazine calls “a masterpiece”. He also orchestrated and arranged the longstanding musical Ella: The Life and Music of Ella Fitzgerald. Steve’s primary teachers were Jeff Bradetich & Craig Butterfield in classical bass; and also Skip Beckwith & Lynn Seaton, who both studied extensively with Ray Brown. He and his wife Kim, who is the Dean of the Lloyd International Honors College, are the proud parents of three vivacious children, Ben, Violet, and Jimmy. Steve thanks God for his family, his health, and all the wonderful people around him.

Dr. Ariel Detwiler, owner of ACDC Reeds, is an active bassoon teacher, freelance performer, and reed maker based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Ariel holds three degrees in Bassoon Performance: a DMA from the University of Minnesota, an MM from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, and a BM from DePauw University. Her primary teachers have included Norbert Nielubowski, William Ludwig and Kara Stolle. Ariel performs regularly as a freelance musician in various bands, orchestras, musical pits, and collaborates in many chamber music groups. An in-demand soloist, Ariel has recently performed three times with local groups. Ariel won the DePauw University Concerto competition in 2010, and in 2018 she won the second annual Wind Ensemble Concerto competition at the University of Minnesota; she then went on to perform as a soloist with the Encore Wind Ensemble and the Minnetonka Symphony Orchestra. With a lifelong passion for music education, she maintains her own private studio of more than 20 students and holds the position of adjunct professor of bassoon at two universities in Minnesota: Augsburg University and Northwestern University of St. Paul. As a doctoral student, she taught the Woodwind Techniques course for three years at the University of Minnesota. Ariel makes and sells high-quality handmade reeds under the name ACDC Reeds, which can be found at Midwest Musical Imports, Cadenza Music, Chemical City Reeds, Reed Supplies Canada, or here on her own website. Ariel is also a talented arranger. She frequentlywrites arrangements of film and popular music for mixed bassoon ensembles, including her unique Horn and Bassoon duo, Duo 231. You can find her arrangements by searching for her name on www.sheetmusicdirect.com.

Ariel’s teaching philosophy is centered around a positive music mindset and open awareness of oneself in order to become a master problem-solver. Her students are regularly chosen for honors ensembles and youth orchestras, with well-rounded technical abilities and a beautiful warm tone. Ariel’s passion is spreading the knowledge of the bassoon with those who don’t know much about the instrument, helping band directors recruit students, and creating access for students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to study the bassoon.

ACDC Reeds is a proud sponsor of many bassoon events and organizations, including the International Double Reed Society, Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition and Symposium, Bassoons Without Borders, the Double Reed Dish Podcast, Nashville Yuletide Bassoons, and the Tennessee Tech Bassoon Forum. ACDC Reeds has been a vendor at Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition and Symposium and MMEA Midwinter Clinic, supplying bassoon reeds and bassoon-themed gifts to all who need them. Ariel performs on a Puchner 5000 antique finish bassoon with a Heckel C2XL bocal.

Dr. Detwiler’s recital and visit is supported, in part, by the CVPA Inclusive Excellence Fund.

With its mesmerizing style and sound, the award-winning Lorena Guillén Tango Ensemble has captivated audiences with soulful arrangements of Argentine tango standards and original compositions that create a dynamic tango and pan-Latin fusion since 2015. The musicians in the group each have rich and extensive experience in Argentine tango, jazz, classical and contemporary music, and other world and popular music styles, all of which can be heard on their two albums, Exótica Flor (2023) and The Other Side of My Heart (2018), both available on all streaming platforms.

“Not Your Average Folk Contest 2021″ Grand Prize Winner (NC Folk Festival) and “World Music” category winner of Music-At-the-Museum Contest 2021 (NC Museum of Art), the Lorena Guillén Tango Ensemble has been featured on TV performances for NC PBS channel and Fox8News as well as live radio programs such as WUNC’s “The State of Things” with Frank Stasio (NPR affiliate in Chapel Hill, NC), KUNM’s “Corazón Tanguero” with Cristina Baccin (NPR affiliate in Albuquerque, NM), WFDD “Triad Arts” (Winston Salem, NC), “Musicaldo” (KGLP 91.7, Gallup, NM), and Radio DAMus (Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Over the years, the ensemble has presented its music at various venues: Kleinhans Music Hall (Buffalo, NY), MusicBox Theater and Folk Research Center (Saint Lucia, West Indies), Frick Museum Summer Concerts (PA), Center Stage Series at the Sangre de Cristo Auditorium (CO), Winston-Salem’s FIESTA Festival, Music Carolina SummerFest, NC Museum of Art, Greensboro’s NC Folk Festival, Creative Greensboro Concert Series, Blowing Rock Art & History Museum Summer Concert Series, Western Piedmont Symphony Concert Series, and Los Angeles’ Alvas Showroom (Los Angeles, CA).

This September 2023, the LGTE will embark on their first concert tour to Argentina, with shows at various venues and a featured presentation at the Familia Club Atlético Fernández Fierro Tango Festival.

The group frequently collaborates with regional Latino organizations, tango-dance organizations and youth orchestras and choirs. The Other Side of My Heart reflects that commitment: an oral-history multi-media piece based on interviews with Latina immigrants to NC. In the Embrace of Tango Project explored the crossed-path between Argentine tango and Jewish-diaspora culture and involved workshops with the Triangle-Jewish-Chorale, the UNCG University Chorale, and Durham-Tango-Dance.

Many of these creative initiatives have been generously funded by grants from the following organizations, which have supported the group’s creation of original works, audio recording, video recording, and implementation of workshops: ArtsGreensboro “Regional Artist Project,” NC arts Council, New-Music USA, and “EDI Grant” from the UNCG College of Visual and performing Arts.

Reconstituted Lands

MFA Thesis Exhibition

by Calvin Ulrich

Exhibition: March 24 – 28, 2026

Reception: Friday, March 27th, 6-8p

Reconstituted Lands is a reimagination of the landscape painting tradition.

The instability of the environment contained within these works is both reflective of current global climate realities and a symbol of the intersection between place and identity. As such, the depiction of space contains a certain malleability that can be mended, stitched together, or forcefully combined. A grafted terrain results, wedged like clay, evolving and impermanent.

Through a more active depiction of nature as a dynamic and living force, some agency is given back to it. Trees become an inhabitant of the landscape with individual life and influence. Waterfalls dissipate into chromatic clouds, acting as smoke signals for an environment under stress. And elephants become a destructive force that challenges hierarchies of power. The unique ability of painting allows for an acknowledgement of the pessimistic ecological certainties of today, while also suggesting the optimism of nature’s resilience.

To reconstitute is both to change the form and to restore. This body of work seeks that balance, changing the form of nature genre painting, and restoring my own relationship to place. The more you become lost in the unfamiliar environments of invented worlds, the easier it is to understand where you have been before.

More About Calvin

Calvin Ulrich’s large scale and intricate work expands upon the range of historic landscape traditions through a colliding of disparate topographic features and natural terrain. His paintings and drawings explore the memory and ecological time scales of mountains, trees, and animals and their agency within the landscape. Calvin grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, until the age of 10, leading to his lifelong love of the natural world. Every member of his family has been charged by an elephant.
