Whether painting or poetry, film or theater, music or dance, artistic creation addresses the deepest questions of the human condition. A great research university should nurture the unique and powerful role of the arts in the education of the whole person. University President Ernest DeWitt Burton recognized this when he wrote in 1925: “We need to supplement science and the scientific study of all branches of knowledge with the finer arts of music and painting, of sculpture and architecture. We owe it to our students, to whom it is our ambition to give the best possible education. We owe it to our professors, that they not become dry-as- dust investigators and lecturers but symmetrically developed and cultivated personalities. We owe it to our community.” Today, more students, faculty, staff, and general audiences engage with the arts on our campus than ever before. This increased participation has been paralleled by growth in the quality and diversity of our arts programs and activities.

But music can speak volumes when life requires a response to the most profound and wrenching of losses, channeling the deepest feelings, expressing the ineffable and providing emotional and spiritual succor. For Rob Mazurek, the brilliant Chicago cornetist, composer and conceptualist improviser who has honed an international coterie of collaborators, the sudden and unexpected passing of his mother Kathleen Mazurek in May of 2013 set him on a quest to honor her bountiful spirit and acknowledge her transition to another realm. Not surprisingly, he found exactly what he needed in São Paulo, Brazil. Working with five sonic explorers in Black Cube SP, a sextet that builds on the celebrated São Paulo Underground collective trio with drummer Mauricio Takara and keyboardist Guilherme Granado, he created Return the Tides: Ascension Suite and Holy Ghost, a startlingly cathartic and magisterial modern psychedelic spiritual that’s as riveting as it is ravishing. The album is Mazurek’s latest breathtaking project on Cuneiform.

Now, one 412‑682‑0177 or thunderbirdcafe.net transatlantic organization is taking it one step further. The Bridge is bringing together four dozen like‑minded improvisers from Chicago and throughout France. According to its founders — three musicians with backgrounds in the social sciences — the Bridge will act as a network “for exchange, production and diffusion, to build a transatlantic bridge that will be crossed on a regular basis by French and American musicians as part of collaborative projects.” And rather than relying on the common ground of blues riffs or jazz standards, musicians under the Bridge umbrella are free improvisers, requiring an even greater level of musical perception from the participants. One such project, The Turbine! (the exclamation point is part of the name), offers an especially unique approach to instrumentation. The group consists of two bassists and two drummers. Bassist Harrison Bankhead and drummer Hamid Drake reside in Chicago, where both have straddled the city’s traditional jazz scene and the more adventurous side connected to the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM).

Because that's what half of America is writing about. Take a hint from Emory University, whose “Why Us?” prompt used to read: Many students decide to apply to Emory University based on our size, location, reputation, and yes, the weather. Besides these valid reasons as a possible college choice, why is Emory University a particularly good match for you? Why do you think the school says not to write about those things? Because their admissions readers are tired of reading about those things. In fact, here's what to do after you've written your first draft: go back through your essay and underline anything that sounds like it could have appeared in another student's essay.

  • Chicago Tribune
    Colsons return to Chicago with new sounds Adegoke Steve Colson and Iqua Colson bring their experimental music to Constellation on Saturday, Aug. 12, 2017. (Mikel Colson photo) By Howard Reich Chicago Tribune AUGUST 9, 2017, 9:25 AM early 50 years ago, a promising young pianist from New Jersey began studying music at N Northwestern University — and discovered sounds he’d never encountered before. Not so much at school, where classical music predominated, but elsewhere in Evanston and Chicago, where musical revolutions were underway. For just two years before Adegoke Steve Colson came here in 1967, a contingent of fearlessly innovative South Side artists had formed the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), a collective that was inventing radical new techniques, concepts and practices for composing and improvising music. Even closer to campus, saxophonist Fred Anderson was making his Birdhouse venue in Evanston a nexus for new music and became an early mentor to Colson. The creative ferment of that period transformed Colson, who will return to Chicago to co-lead a quintet with vocalist Iqua Colson, his wife, Saturday night at Constellation. As he prepares for this engagement, memories of those early days come flooding back. “I remember I saw a flyer for Fred Anderson, because he lived there in Evanston … and we could go by and join his band,” says pianist Colson, who often sat in with the singular improviser. “When I started playing with guys in the AACM. Sometimes (bassist) Fred Hopkins would show up, (drummer) Steve McCall would show up,” adds Colson, who formed a jazz band with fellow student Chico Freeman.

  • Report on the Future of Uchicago Arts 2020 and 2025
    Report on the Future of UChicago Arts – 2020 and 2025 Arts Steering Committee - Page | i Foreword by Provost Eric Isaacs Over the past decade the University of Chicago has gained increasing recognition as a destination for the arts. New faculty have joined the Humanities Division in fields such as Art History, Visual Arts, Creative Writing, and Music; and we have developed significant new programs where the work of artists intersects with the work of scholars and scientists. The University has also expanded its arts identity and its engagement in the community through events, exhibitions, and collaborations with artistic entities across the city, and academic offerings that encourage campus and public participation. Longstanding institutions such as the Oriental Institute, Court Theatre, and the Smart Museum have now been joined by the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, the Richard and Mary L. Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry, the Arts Incubator, the Arts + Public Life Initiative, the expanding art collection at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and the gallery within the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society. To ensure that we build on such success, I appointed a select group of faculty as the Provost’s Arts Steering Committee in the fall of 2014, asking them to develop an updated vision for the future of the arts and to develop strategies for executing that vision. Led by Bill Brown, Deputy Provost for the Arts, the committee proposed recommendations to foster the University’s continued commitment to being a leader in the arts. Eric D. Isaacs Provost of the University Robert A.
