  • Read the Conference Program
    New Music DC 2019 Welcome to the 2nd annual New Music DC conference, organized by District New Music Coalition! We’re thrilled to gather together again almost exactly one year after our inaugural event showed just how vibrant — and how warm — DC’s contemporary music community is. Like last year, New Music DC 2019 features performances of recent compositions selected through professional and student calls-for-scores that were open to DC- area performers and composers. Unlike 2018, this year’s concerts have been arranged so that call-for-score selections are represented on all three of the concerts. Similarly our “spotlight” performers, Meraki and Fuse Ensemble, are Presents… spread out across two of these concerts, and the third offers a non-traditional staging and seating experience designed by Alec Davis of the Green Stairwell Concert Series. Also new this year, most of the panels and presentations you’ll see were selected through an open application process, yielding a fresh slate of topics proposed by your colleagues and friends. For the first time, we’re hosting a “town hall” meeting. September 14-15, 2019 It’s an opportunity to voice your ideas, suggestions, and concerns about the opportunities and challenges that you’ve identified as a member of this The Catholic University of America community, and we hope you’ll plan to be there when this conversation kicks off Rome School of Music, Drama, and Art an expanded second day of conference activities.

    E.ON presents: 10. VeszprémFest 16-20 July 20 13 16 July 17 July 18 July 19 July 20 July Diana Marcus Paco Nigel Craig Krall Miller de Lucía Kennedy David Main sponsor veszpremfest.hu Veszprem Castle In case of rain: Veszprem Arena Diana Krall Diana Krall's extraordinary new album Glad Rag Doll (2012, Verve Records) is an exhilarating 16 July and adventurous exploration of new sounds, new instrumentation and new musicians. It stars a singer and piano player, filled with mischief, humour and a renewed sense of tenderness and intimacy. "We all just went in there as if the songs were written yesterday. I didn't want to make a period piece or nostalgia record", said Krall. In fact, these are songs that Krall has spent a lifetime contemplating. Both her childhood home and her current address are stacked with 78rpm records and song folios filled with precious and unpolished gems, songs that have not worn out their lustre from repetition. If any of these songs could be identified as "20's or 30's music," then they are 20's or 30's songs as imagined for the 21st Century. The same could be said for a startling rendition of the Doc Pomus classic, Lonely Avenue , first cut in the 1950s. The contemplative, contemporary reading of the old Gene Austin recording of Let It Rain finds a sympathetic echo in Krall's exquisite rendition of Buddy and Julie Miller's more recent ballad of spiritual longing, Wide River To Cross . Krall was born in 1964 in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.

  • Go-Go Forever
    mtv news FEATURE GO-GO FOREVER THE RISE, FALL, AND AFTERLIFE OF WASHINGTON, D.C.’S ULTIMATE RHYTHM 06/14/2017 MTV ERICKA BLOUNT DANOIS Ericka Blount Danois is based in Baltimore and writes about music and culture. Her first book, 'Love, Peace and Soul,' about the show 'Soul Train,' was published in 2013. We had made plans to walk the more than 10 treacherous blocks to the show that Saturday autumn night in the Chocolate City. So we walked from my friend Cheryl's building on 14th and Fairmont Streets all the way to The Black Hole, one of the most popular go-go spots in town, strolling past hustlers and the infamous Clifton Terrace projects as we went. We weren't in heels, like most girls going to nightclubs. We wore New Balance tennis shoes with our Guess jeans. At The Black Hole, you had to be prepared to run at any moment. In Washington, D.C.'s 1980s go-go scene, The Black Hole was what CBGB was to punk rock, what The Paradise Garage was to dance music. You couldn't call yourself a true go-go head if you'd never stepped past its hefty bodyguards after wading through the mass of bodies stretching down Georgia Avenue whenever a show was happening. It was a hole in the wall, really — a former car garage that regularly packed in excess of 400 sweaty teenagers. And it was our spot to hear uncut go-go, dance all night, and be seen. Dancing there was the closest thing that a non- churchgoer could find to catching the spirit at a Pentecostal church, and as close to a juke joint as a saved soul could experience.

    FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION CONTACT: INDEA HERNDON, EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, [email protected] THE 8TH ANNUAL PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL PRESENTED BY CITIZENS BANK HAS A NEW HOME AND MOST HIGHLY ANTICIPATED LINE UP TO DATE June 15-17, 2018 (Pittsburgh, Pa)...The weekend of June 15-17, 2018, marks a pivotal milestone for the 8th annual Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival presented by Citizens Bank. As a signature program of the African American Cultural Center at the newly relaunched August Wilson Center, the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival will continue to be helmed by Janis Burley Wilson, the new president & CEO of the AACC, who created and directed the jazz fest since its founding in 2011. With her new appointment, she plans to make changes to the footprint and to expand the festival format. Burley Wilson says, “The new name, new venue, and expanded program will please our devoted jazz fest attendees and attract even more jazz lovers from around the world. The team at the African American Cultural Center is committed to the continued growth and success of this dynamic festival that is a celebration of joy and unity through jazz. ” The festival moves to Liberty Avenue to take advantage of the wider street and closer proximity to the August Wilson Center. In addition, the festival will feature more educational opportunities that include master classes and artist talks throughout the weekend. On June 15th, the popular free JazzFest Crawl throughout downtown Pittsburgh features regional jazz artists performing from 5:30-9:00pm.
