But reality is rarely so simple. This year has shown us the importance not only of heroes, but of heroism. Heroism is complex, challenging, and messy. It isn’t one-dimensional, nor is it reserved only for mythological characters and historical figures. But with that challenge comes opportunity: the opportunity to be a hero, moment by moment, even just for one day. In our final concert cycle of Myths & Legends, EYSO students explored this dirtier, messier idea of heroism through diverse and wide-ranging repertoire. They took the expert noticer approach to examine their music, and to peel back the superficial layers to discover—and create— deeper meaning. Across EYSO, students grappled with thought-provoking questions. How is the glorious and majestic March of the Meistersingers complicated by the context of Richard Wagner’s legacy? Who are your personal heroes—and what makes them heroic? (The answer was never “a cape and superpowers.”) What does the idea of heroism mean to you as a person, and to us as a society, and how can you live as a hero, as David Bowie sang, “for ever and ever…or just for one day?” As we turn the page on our 45th season Myths & Legends, we are fortunate to be in the presence of heroes each and every Sunday: heroes like our students who overcame tremendous challenges to show up week after week and study, perform, learn, grow, and laugh together.

Flip to page _____. MAY 9, 2021 2021 Dear Friends, YOUTH ORCHESTRA According to Maya Angelou, “a hero is really any person intent on making this a better place for OF THE YEAR all people.” That made sense to me even the first time I read it years ago. But I certainly understand it differently, 2015, 2005 and more deeply, today. Sure, some acts of heroism are shinier than others, more dramatic. But are PROGRAMMING they more important? OF THE YEAR The season we bring to a close with today’s concerts has truly given us the need for, and appreciation of, heroes. And at EYSO, we’ve all gained a deeper, more personal understanding of what it takes to 2008 be a hero, and what it can mean to us. CONDUCTOR Some heroes in the past year have received much well-deserved recognition, whether serving on the OF THE YEAR front lines as health care providers or behind the scenes working to develop vaccines. Others have continued in less visible, but no less important, roles ranging from educators to grocery store clerks. 2007, 2000 They all made a difference. YOUTH ORCHESTRA And if you agree with Maya Angelou’s definition of a hero, our halls have been filled with them this year! OF THE YEAR Our EYSO team has demonstrated amazing creativity in how they have consistently delivered in-person learning through the study of music all season. And they have done that in the face of 2001 constantly changing guidelines and restrictions, not to mention the emotional challenges of working ELGIN IMAGE in this environment. I don’t expect I’ll ever thank them enough, but I’ll try. AWARD Most importantly, our students and families have risen to the occasion. Choosing to stick with something you know is important in your life, or the life of your child, often involves some level HONORARY BOARD of sacrifice. But his year, the obstacles were far more challenging. And EYSO students and families OF DIRECTORS faced, and defeated, those obstacles as a community. Gwen Armwood Making the world a better place, in any way, is laudable. And when the doing involves music, it’s also Cathy Berk beautiful. Thank you for your support through this year, and for joining us today to enjoy the season finale of our 45th season.

  • GIRL with a CAMERA a Novel of Margaret Bourke-White
    GIRL WITH A CAMERA A Novel of Margaret Bourke-White, Photographer Commented [CY1]: Add Photographer? By Carolyn Meyer Carolyn Meyer 100 Gold Avenue SW #602 Albuquerque, NM 87102 505-362-6201 [email protected] 2 GIRL WITH A CAMERA Sometime after midnight, a thump—loud and jarring. A torpedo slams into the side of our ship, flinging me out of my bunk. The ship is transporting thousands of troops and hundreds of nurses. It is December 1942, and our country is at war. I am Margaret Bourke-White, the only woman photographer covering this war. The U.S. Army Air Forces has handed me a plum assignment: photographing an Allied attack on the Germans. I wanted to fly in one of our B-17 bombers, but the top brass ordered me to travel instead in the flagship of a huge convoy, headed from England through the Straits of Gibraltar towards the coast of North Africa. It would be safer than flying, the officers argued. As it turns out, they were dead wrong. Beneath the surface of the Mediterranean, German submarines glide, silent and lethal, stalking their prey. One of their torpedoes has found its mark. I grab my camera bag and one camera, leaving everything else behind, and race to the bridge. I hear the order blare: Abandon ship! Abandon ship! There is not enough light and not enough time to take photographs. I head for Lifeboat No. 12 and board with the others assigned to it, mostly nurses. We’ve drilled for it over and over, but this is not a drill.

  • METRO PICTURES Cotter, Holland
    METRO PICTURES Cotter, Holland. “Cindy Sherman’s Divas, Poised for a Final Close-Up,” NYTimes.com (May 26, 2016). Cindy Sherman‘s “Untitled” (2016). In the transgender, avatar-populated present, personal identity feels increasingly like a pliable condition. It’s one that Cindy Sherman has been playing with in her photographs for decades. While still in art school in the early 1970s, she was transforming herself, for the camera, into an epic cast of individual characters — sullen teen queens, nerdy guys, Hollywood vamps — through a use of makeup and costuming so virtuosic and expressive as to rival the brushwork of a master painter. Now, some 40 years on, in a show of new work at Metro Pictures, the virtuosity is greater than ever, or at least subtler, and Ms. Sherman is still sole actor, director and costumer in a continuing drama. But the cast of characters has changed, simplified. Guys are long gone; the teen queens have grown; the vamps remain, all veteran divas poised for a final close-up. With their elegiac tone, the new pictures, Ms. Sherman’s first in five years, seem specifically designed to prompt reflection on the histories she has taken these divas through over time. She introduced them, in 1977, in a now- renowned series of black-and-white photographs called “Untitled Film Stills,” as starlets on the rise. They played ingénues — young housewives, career girls — threatened, in noirish, B-movie solo scenes, by unnamed dangers lurking just out of camera range. 519 W 24TH ST NEW YORK, NY 10011 T 212 206 7100 F 212 337 0070 WWW.METROPICTURES.COM [email protected] When Ms.

  • Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.

David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text 1 David Bowie’s urban landscapes and nightscapes: A reading of the Bowiean text Jean Du Verger “The Word is devided into units which be all in one piece and should be so taken, but the pieces can be had in any order being tied up back and forth, in and out fore and aft like an innaresting sex arrangement. This book spill off the page in all directions, kaleidoscope of vistas, medley of tunes and street noises […]” William Burroughs, The Naked Lunch, 1959. Introduction 1 The urban landscape occupies a specific position in Bowie’s works. His lyrics are fraught with references to “city landscape[s]”5 and urban nightscapes. The metropolis provides not only the object of a diegetic and spectatorial gaze but it also enables the author to further a discourse on his own inner fragmented self as the nexus, lyrics— music—city, offers an extremely rich avenue for investigating and addressing key issues such as alienation, loneliness, nostalgia and death in a postmodern cultural context.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label.
