Directed by Sharon Lewis Produced by Iron Bay Media DISRUPTOR CONDUCTOR DIRECTED BY SHARON LEWIS PRODUCED BY IRON BAY MEDIA FOR MORE INFORMATION Noreen Hamid - Publicist [email protected] 647.404.8496 FILM SYNOPSIS Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser is an unlikely hero on a mission to create live orchestral shows that aren't just for the rich and fancy. Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser is one of the first openly gay black conductors in Canada. The child of a working-class Caribbean single mother, he was raised in Calgary, Alberta and he understands what it is to be an ‘other’. As he struggled with his sexuality, Bartholomew-Poyser turned to music for solace and finally found his voice as a conductor. He believes that the beauty and grace of music can unite and uplight all of us beyond race, class and gender barriers. Bartholomew-Poyser wants to use his musical power for good. In Disruptor, Conductor we see him on a mission to break down institutional walls and bring live orchestral music to millennials, people of colour, young people, LGBTQ, prisoners, refugees, students; anyone who identifies as ‘different’. “We're trying to bring music to everybody. Often times, when you heard these instruments, sometimes you had to go to a concert hall to hear it. We're trying to bring it out of the concert hall and just take it to wherever people are,” says Bartholomew-Poyser. Along with RuPaul’s Drag Race star, Thorgy Thor, Bartholomew-Poyser creates the first orchestral drag queen show in Canada. It’s a way to express all parts of himself at once; bringing old-world orchestra and his recently-discovered LGBTQ community together in harmonic union.

Thorgy Thor Thorgy Thor’s dream is to have her own Thorchestra. Her show with Daniel at Symphony Nova Scotia for Halifax Pride is one step closer to making that a reality. As Daniel looks for his place in his newly found LGBTQ community, Thorgy is trying to make room to be taken seriously as a classical violinist and celloist in the orchestral world. She now has that chance with Daniel leading the way with the Thorgy Thorchestra. The stakes are high for both of them. After spending the early years studying Violin, Viola, and Cello, Thorgy earned a dual degree in Violin and Viola Performance at HartSchool of Music and Purchase Conservatory. Over the last few years, Thorgy Thor has had the pleasure of playing violin with many recording artists including NYC legend Joey Arias, as well as performing with over 6 major orchestras, gracing the stages of Town Hall NYC, Le Poisson Rouge, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. What Thorgy is most well known for is her Season 8 appearance and reappearance in Season 10 on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Thorgy has said “It’s very important for me to present this and have it be something very special rather than be thrown together. I hate when things are After several unanswered emails, texts and phone calls, Daniel found out that thrown together. I think that’s why I might’ve appeared neurotic in RuPaul’s Drag Thorgy would be performing at Pride in St. Catherines, Ontario and drove over Race. I just want the Thorchestra to be so good.” This statement is a little bit 50 km to hunt her down—as Daniel called it, “the hunt for the drag queen.” He more than ironic given that Daniel has had to hunt Thorgy down to make plans caught up with her in the mall and in a drive back to her hotel, tried his last for the upcoming concert. attempt to secure her for the lineup for the performance. One day later, she texted Daniel to say she changed her mind—she was in. Sharon Lewis, Director Sharon Lewis’s directing talent successfully crisscrosses the genre of television, film, and theatre.

Black US Army bands and their bandmasters in World War I Peter M. Lefferts This essay sketches the story of the bands and bandmasters of the twenty seven new black army regiments which served in the U.S. Army in World War I. They underwent rapid mobilization and demobilization over 1917-1919, and were for the most part unconnected by personnel or traditions to the long-established bands of the four black regular U.S. Army regiments that preceded them and continued to serve after them. Pressed to find sufficient numbers of willing and able black band leaders, the army turned to schools and the entertainment industry for the necessary talent.

Clemens Krauss, who had also written the libretto, was the conductor, and the role of Countess Madeleine, the main character, was taken by Krauss' s wife, the soprano Viorica Ursuleac. The year 1941 found Strauss and his own wife in poor health, depressed by the war, worried about prospects for their Jewish daughter-in-law and half- Jewish grandson, and dismayed by the ever more chilly treatment the composer was getting at the hands of the German government (Strauss was not a Nazi, but he was not an outspoken opponent either, and he despised the Nazis no more than any other political party).

  • Ecomusicology: Bridging the Sciences, Arts, and Humanities
    Ecomusicology: Bridging the Sciences, Arts, and Humanities By: Aaron S. Allen Aaron S. Allen, “Ecomusicology: Bridging the Sciences, Arts, and Humanities,” in Environmental Leadership: A Reference Handbook, ed. Deborah Rigling Gallagher (Sage Publications, 2012), 373-381. Made available courtesy of SAGE Publications: http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781452218601 ***© 2012 SAGE Publications. Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from SAGE Publications. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: Paul Ehrlich is a key figure in modern environmental studies. In addition to ecological research, Ehrlich is known for his warnings about human overpopulation (Ehrlich, 1968). In the 1970s, he made a well-known wager with economist Julian Simon: Ehrlich contended that natural resource prices would increase continually during the 1980s, indicating increased scarcity and human suffering brought about by overpopulation, while Simon believed that prices would decline. Ehrlich was a good sport, and because his neo-Malthusian concerns lost to Simon's cornucopianism, he paid up and admitted he was wrong—but he was wrong only for that decade. Considering a longer time scale, from 1900 to 2008, we see that Ehrlich's perspicacious concerns were indeed correct (Kiel, Matheson, & Golembiewski, 2010). In the inaugural edition of the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, Ehrlich (2011) provided his “personal view” of environmental education. Considering his role as an important and respected environmental thinker and leader, and given the presentation of his ideas in such an auspicious forum, Ehrlich's advice merits our consideration.
