CCA Convocation with Gabriela Lena Frank

Arts/Entertainment

Currently serving as Composer-in-Residence with the storied Philadelphia Orchestra and included in the Washington Post's list of the most significant women composers in history (August, 2017), identity has always been at the center of composer/pianist Gabriela Lena Frank's music. Her music often reflects not only her own personal experience as a multi-racial Latina, but also refract her studies of Latin American cultures, incorporating poetry, mythology, and native musical styles into a western classical framework that is uniquely her own. (https://www.glfcam.com/people/gabriela, accessed August 23, 2023)

Dr. Frank has also founded the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music at her home and farm in the rural mountains of Mendocino County, California. Through this unique educational model, Dr. Frank provides professional mentorship to emerging composers from diverse musical and cultural backgrounds, guiding them to become artists who prioritize eco-conscious ways of making music as well as giving back to their community.

Dr. Frank’s appearance for this evening’s convocation lecture and tomorrow evening’s program of her music is the culmination of a 4-year residency in Utah State’s music department lead by the members of the Fry Street Quartet supported by the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation—Russell Family, the Tanner Trust for Universities, differential tuition provided by students of the college, and other generous donors.

Free to all; everyone welcome.

MUSES

Arts/Entertainment

The word "muse" describes a source of inspiration. This annual music therapy concert aims to highlight the multi-faceted sources of inspiration for USU music therapy students both personally and professionally. In our field of study, we often talk about “self as instrument”, or rather, being the instrument of change within the therapeutic relationship. During MUSES, we get to shift our focus to also celebrate our external musical skills and instruments as extensions of ourselves, and the tools by which we get to share creative self-expression with the world. Concert goers will enjoy original compositions in addition to contemporary and classical pieces that have been intentionally chosen to represent the experiences of our students and potential clinical applications of these works in music therapy practice. Additionally, attendees may have the opportunity to get involved first-hand with our interactive lobby experience before the performance. For more information, visit www.usumtsa.weebly.com.

Guerilla Grrrrls Now!

Arts/Entertainment

Guerrilla Grrrl Now! is an exhibition of political posters by the anonymous art collective Guerrilla Girls (active since 1985) placed alongside contemporary work by USU Art + Design students and interactive spaces for viewer responses. The Guerrilla Girl posters were selected from USU’s Special Collections and Archives, which is currently the only institution to house a complete Guerrilla Girls portfolio (1985-2023) IN THE WORLD! The Guerrilla Girls, who call themselves the “conscience of the art world,” use brazen visuals, confrontational headlines, and undeniable statistics to illuminate gender, racial, and ethnic discrimination in cultural institutions. The issues addressed in their work, including reproductive rights, sexual assault and abuse, LGBTQIA+ rights, and the gender pay gap, remain incredibly relevant in our lives today. Guerrilla Grrrl Now! loudly proclaims that the fight isn’t over, and by using our voices and our art to activate awareness on campus, in Cache Valley, and in Utah, we continue the feminist fight against discrimination on all fronts.
