SCHEDULE OF PERFORMANCES AND EVENTS - check denison.edu/series/tutti WThis week, there are multiple ways to get acquainted with the Fine Arts Departments at Denison. With featured composer Adam Schoenberg and forty other composers from around the world, we are hosting eight concerts and multiple events that feature the students, faculty, guests, and featured artists. We are excited to work with Studio Art, Data Analytics, Creative Writing, Physics, Philosophy, and the Museum this year—TUTTI is growing and expanding! We are thrilled to have Third Coast Percussion as one of our two featured ensembles! Their amazing artistry is on display throughout the festival, not only with performing on concerts from the submitted works, but also showcasing their Third Coast Percussion Emerging Partnership program to TUTTI on their Saturday evening concert. Our second featured ensemble is Denison’s own Ensemble-in-Residence, ETHEL, who will also perform throughout the week, work with students, and showcase their talents as composing and performing artists throughout this festival. You’ll see them perform with Michael Lockwood Crouch, who together will bring to life six Denison students’ works—combining words and music in a way you may never have encountered. Ethel is also collaborating with Nathalie Miebach, in The Weather Project, hosted by Denison’s Museum. Working with weather data, Nathalie creates sculptures that are translated by composers and musicians into sound. We start the week with art and collaboration. On Monday, Tara Booth gives an artist’s talk on her work, which deals with Tara’s work is an investigation of the female body considering notions of physicality, experience and perception in a digital age. We also have a fascinating panel discussion on Philosophy and Music, with panelists: John Carvalho, Theodore Gracyk, and Mark Lomax. This eighth TUTTI festival comes at an interesting time for our college. This will be the last TUTTI within the facilities as you see it. We are moving into the Michael D. Eisner Center for Performing Arts this semester, which will bring together the departments of Music, Theatre, and Dance under one roof. Art is vital, not only to our mission at Denison, but also to our society. Art expresses what we can’t; art expresses what we should; art expresses what we need; art matters. On behalf of all the artists you will encounter this week, art is us. Get to know us - get to know art. Ching-chu Hu, host Professor of Music, Denison University WELCOME FROM PRESIDENT AdaM WEINBERG: It is a pleasure to welcome you to the 2019 edition of Denison’s TUTTI New Music Festival. The arts are crucial the health of any community. At Denison we have a long tradition of strength across the arts, and we are making new investments to con- tinue this tradition. We believe the arts are a foundational element to educating and inspiring our students to lead meaningful lives, achieve professional success, and to be the citizens the world needs. As one expression of this commitment, we are very excited that the Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts will open in a few weeks. Denison has an unusually broad array of strengths in the arts that starts with the passions and tal- ents our faculty and students.TUTTI exemplifies these features of the college. I am thrilled that the scope of TUTTI continues to broaden to encompass various areas of the fine arts and beyond. This year, we will be treated to a wide range of artistic performances. Joining our music department will be artistry from Studio Art, Data Analytics, the Museum, Philosophy, and Creative Writing. TUTTI is a special tradition at Denison. The week-long program of arts showcases the liberal arts at its finest. It also showcases the myriad of ways our faculty and students work together and the ways our faculty mentor our students. This is another distinguishing feature of Denison. When TUTTI is happening you can feel the energy across campus. We are pleased that you are participating in TUTTI and hope you will enjoy the distinctive display of creativity and artistry it conveys.
