  • Smith College Alumnae Chorus to Honor Composer Alice Parker, Class of 1947, in Special Concert
    Published on GazetteNet (http://www.gazettenet.com) Print this Page A lifetime of music; Smith College Alumnae Chorus to honor composer Alice Parker, class of 1947, in special concert By STEVE PFARRER Staff Writer Wednesday, September 17, 2014 (Published in print: Thursday, September 18, 2014) Who says your time singing in college has to end with graduation? For members of the Smith College Alumnae Chorus, launched four years ago, choral music remains a means for forging connections among graduates of different classes and keeping their voices raised in song. For Alice Parker, Smith class of 1947, choral music has been a lifelong calling — as a composer, a conductor and teacher. Parker, 88, has composed for decades, earning particular notice for her arrangements of folk songs and hymns for vocal ensembles. She collaborated for years on such material with the late Robert Shaw, known as “the Dean of American Choral Conductors.” On Sunday, Sept. 21, Parker and the Alumnae Chorus (SCAC) will join forces at Smith to celebrate Parker’s lifetime achievements in a 2 p.m. show at Sweeney Concert Hall. Part of the performance, which will be conducted by Parker, has a special connection to the Valley as well: Parker will lead the chorus in a rendition of her song cycle “Three Seas,” a suite based on the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Members of the SCAS, most of whom performed with one of more vocals groups at Smith when they were students, say the opportunity to work with Parker is an exciting one. “It’s really an honor,” Sarah Muffly, class of 2008 and the chorus’ secretary, said in a recent phone call from her home in the New York area.

  • Sometimes Going Home for the Weekend to Visit the Folks Is a Little
    arts&entertainraent THREAD Sometimes going home for the weekend to visit the folks is a little tense, but you can bet that it’s not as intense as Clyde Owens’ trip home to rural North Carolina in Jonathan Bolt's Threads. Threads, the‘first of two plays this quarter presented by the Dramatic Arts Department, is a family drama about the homecoming of a less-than- successful Hollywood actor to the mill town he grew up in. As with most contemporary dramas, the famlily reunion develops into a series of con­ frontations and introspection. Director William Glover calls it an old-fashioned, simple play that is as warm and humorous as it is dramatic. Glover, a guest lecturer in the department of Dramatic Art, comes to UCSB as a professional, having directed at the Mark Taper Forum and played the voice of Winston in Disney’s Oliver and Company. His best summation of Threads was, "it’s en­ tertaining.” "When you go to the theater you go to be en­ tertained,” said Glover. “Its the opposite of television. TV says ‘don’t get involved’ ... theater says 'please come, please think.’ When you leave, the experience has made you richer.” Threads may not be a great piece of art, but it’s not TV. The play rises from the depths of mere en­ tertainment by tapping into a raw nerve of human experience: family. The Owens family draws the personal life of playwright Bolt, who knew fir­ sthand the hardship of working in a textile mill and interacting in a rural family.

Even before the release of their 1988 debut album, Vivid , the band members were actively involved in the Black Rock Coalition, a non-profit organization founded by journalist Greg Tate, producer Konda Mason, and Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid as a means of supporting and sponsoring black rock artists. Consisting of Reid, Will Calhoun (drums), Corey Glover (vocals), and Doug Wimbish (bass)-the latter of whom replaced Muzz Skillings in 1992-Living Color has successfully overcome a number of obstacles faced by black rock artists seeking to break into the commercial music industry. The very release of Vivid by Epic Records was one such success. The album quickly hit number 6 on the Billboard 200 . Soon after, MTV picked up “Cult of Personality,” which was awarded both MTV’s Best New Artist Award and a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1989. More than twenty years later, “Cult of Personality” remains immensely popular and has recently featured in the game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock , so now you too can enjoy Living Colour’s experience of having to play a really great song over, and over, and over again.
