DESCRIPTION:Program\n\n\n\nJonathan Caldwell\, conductorJaninah Burnett\, vocalistErik Santos\, composer \n\n\n\nFLAGELLO Bravado \n\n\n\nPURRINGTON apricity \n\n\n\nSANTOS The Seer \n\n\n\nBERNSTEIN Profanation from Symphony No. 1\, “Jeremiah” \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\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtube.com/live/_w5Ibf6DKvY?feature=share\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artists\n\n\n\n\nA versatile singer\, actor\, musician\, writer\, arranger\, and educator\, Janinah Burnett is in demand and has thrilled audiences domestically and internationally in opera\, recital\, musical theatre\, jazz\, television\, and film. 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.

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\n\n \nDr. Courtney Miller is the oboe professor at UNC Greensboro where she teaches oboe\, chamber music\, and reed classes. Prior to her position at the UNCG\, she served on faculty at the University of Iowa\, Boston College in Massachusetts\, and Ashland University in Ohio. During the summers Dr. Miller performs and teaches at Lutheran Summer Music in Indiana and the UNCG Summer Music Camp.  \nA highly regarded performer and pedagogue\, Dr. Miller tours as a soloist\, chamber musician\, and teacher throughout the United States\, Europe\, Asia\, and South America. An experienced orchestral musician\, Miller has performed in many orchestras up-and-down the east coast of the United States from the Jacksonville Symphony in Florida to the Portland Symphony in Maine. She now performs regularly with Orchestra Iowa\, the Quad City Symphony Orchestra\, Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony\, and the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra. \nDr. Miller is a versatile artist devoted to performing established repertoire as well as new compositions and lesser-known works. Her 2019 album Portuguese Perspectives introduces a collection of world-premiere recordings for the oboe by Portuguese composers and includes several new commissions by Miller. This album and her 2015 release Modern Fairy Tales are readily available on iTunes\, Amazon\, and Spotify. American Record Guide praises her “seamless consistency in the various registers of the oboe…and sensitive phrasing and articulation.” Fanfare Magazine hails Courtney Miller as “a performer of considerable skill\, with an unfailingly lovely sound\, abundant technical ability\, and a special gift for turning notes into poetry.”   \nIn addition to collaborations within the field of music\, Dr Miller has a flair for interdisciplinary work. She has collaborated with hip-hop dancer Ernest “EKnock” Phillips; belly-dancer Janelle Issis; and most recently choreographer and dancer Kristin Marrs at University of Iowa. Since 2016\, Marrs and Miller have performed in many concerts featuring oboe and dancer and have toured together throughout the United States. Perhaps her most daring collaboration yet is Psionic\, which explores interactive movement data between oboist and computer through a live stream of EEG data with composer Christopher Jette; printmaker Terry Conrad; and digital media designer Daniel Fine.  \nDr. Miller has authored scholarly articles pertaining to the English horn’s role in the orchestra and Charles Loeffler’s Deux Rhapsodies for oboe\, viola and piano published respectively in the Double Reed Journal and the Journal of the American Viola Society. She has also presented recitals and papers at the College Music Society’s Northeast Regional Conference. Dr. Miller performs recitals regularly at the International Double Reed Society’s annual conferences. In 2017 she was a featured artist at the first international conference of the Associação Brasileira de Palhetas Duplas (Brazilian Double Reed Society or ABPD). \nCourtney Miller has a Doctor of Musical Arts from Boston University\, a Master of Music from Cleveland Institute of Music\, and a Bachelor of Music from Florida State University. Her primary teachers include John Ferrillo\, John Mack\, and Eric Ohlsson.  \nDr. Miller serves as 1st Vice President of the Midwest Double Reed Society and is a member of the International Double Reed Society\, the College Music Society\, and Sigma Alpha Iota.

He has formerly held positions with the Spokane Symphony\, the Boise Philharmonic\, Washington State University\, Eastern Washington University\, and Whitman College. Taylor’s clarinet playing can be heard on recordings on the Navona\, Centaur\, Naxos American Classics and Gothic recording labels\, and the most recent releases are two Centaur records projects with New Music Raleigh. The most recent is the world premiere recording of Brett William Dietz’s opera introspective Headcase\, and another recent release is the debut recording of composer DJ Sparr\, 21207. He can also be found on youtube; his video promoting his March 2011 basset clarinet performances of the Mozart concerto with the Winston-Salem symphony now has nearly 100\,000 views. In 2014\, Taylor was among the first performers of Donald Crockett’s Dance Concerto(please see media page for recordings). He has appeared at the International Clarinet Association ClarinetFest®\, with a notable performance of John Adams’s clarinet concerto Gnarly Buttons in 2010 and in 2011\, the world premiere of UNCG composer Alejandro Rutty’s work for Guitars\, for two clarinets and Ableton Live-based electronics.
