SUMMARY:Parisian Colors: Between Line and Light
DESCRIPTION:Join the award-winning Poiema Trio for an evening of French chamber music where elegance meets daring. From Ravel’s shimmering Trio to Boulanger’s radiant D’un matin de printemps and Fauré’s lyrical late Trio\, discover the vibrant palette of sound that defined Paris in the early 20th century. \nPoiema Trio\, dedicated to sharing the joy of chamber music with audiences of all demographics\, infuses their performances with spontaneity\, imagination\, and storytelling. Poiema formed in the summer of 2023 at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival after bonding over a shared affinity for folk traditions and improvisation and falling in love with making music together over many late night reading sessions. In their time together\, they have performed and taught workshops across the eastern half of the US and are recipients of the 2024 Gold Medal Prize from the Ninth International Chamber Music Ensemble Competition. The vibrant members have backgrounds in historical performance\, folk\, jazz\, and production\, hold degrees from the Juilliard School and the Cleveland Institute of Music\, and are currently working on arranging folk tunes for piano trio. Their name\, “Poiema\,” means poetry at the intersection of beauty and brokenness\, a poignant reminder of an artist’s true calling.

SUMMARY:Capella Clausura presents "'in tongues': Ruehr's "Cassandra"
DESCRIPTION:Magic spells\, prophecies\, secrets\, prayers; what happens when words mean more than what they say? Speech has the power to persuade\, clarify\, distort\, and to move. It can even affect the way we remember things\, the ways our minds encode memories. This program\, centered around Elena Ruehr’s magnificent choral opera “Cassandra”\, considers these questions. The figure of Cassandra\, from Ancient Greek mythology\, provides perspective for understanding these questions. In myth\, Cassandra’s blessing is that she can see the future; her curse is that no one believes or understands her prophecies. \nFeaturing music by: Elena Ruehr\, Julia Wolfe\, Alissa Voth\, and Isaac Roth Blumfield

SUMMARY:West Newton presents Behind the Screen: Sinners
DESCRIPTION:SINNERS is a genre-defying period horror drama written and directed by Ryan Coogler\, set in 1932 Mississippi during the Jim Crow era. The story follows twin brothers Elijah “Smoke” Moore and Elias “Stack” Moore\, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan in dual roles\, who return to their hometown to open a juke joint for the local Black community\, only to find that an ancient\, supernatural evil threatens their celebration and their lives. The film blends Southern Gothic\, blues music\, historical memory\, and supernatural horror\, creating a richly layered narrative about community\, survival\, and cultural expression. \nPOST SCREENING PANEL DISCUSSION\nOur panel will explore the film’s fusion of music\, history\, and horror\, considering how SINNERS engages with African-American cultural traditions\, the symbolic role of blues music in confronting evil\, and the artistic choices that make the film a singular cinematic experience. \nJAKE BLOUNT\, A.M.\nMusician\, Scholar\, and Music Consultant on SINNERS;\nSpecialist in Traditional African-American Music and Afrofuturism\nJake Blount is an award-winning musician and scholar whose work bridges performance\, research\, and advocacy.

He is also a pianist and composer known for moving seamlessly between jazz\, classical\, gospel\, and Afro-Cuban repertoire.
