Along with original choreography by dancers Kamini Dandapani and Dylan Widjiono, the MPP’s Eleanor Lipat-Chesler (BC ’98) will perform Philippine traditional dance. Directed by voice professor Jane McMahan, Worldmuse and its associated performing artists integrate multiple music and dance traditions to express a unique artistic vision.

The First of Love: a dance and music performance inspired by the poetry of Elsa Gidlow
Witness the world-premiere of composer Ursula Kwong-Brown's newest work, a dance and music collaboration inspired by the text of America's first openly-lesbian poet, Elsa Gidlow. Columbia New Music and the Columbia Ballet Collaborative combine talents, pairing original composition with riveting new choreography by Emery LeCrone, Lydia Walker, Brian Arias and Rachel Salzman. The acclaimed young opera star, Diana Daniel, performs with a large ensemble and choir of talented musicians from the Columbia Classical Performers, the Worldmuse Ensemble, and the Columbia-Juilliard Exchange. The First of Love is supported by the Columbia Queer Alliance and sponsored [in part] by the Arts Initiative at Columbia University. This funding is made possible through a generous gift from The Gatsby Charitable Foundation.

The International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) will present a concert of recent chamber works by graduate composers working in the Music Department at Columbia University: Geof Holbrook, Michel Galante, Eric Wubbels, Kate Soper, Mario Diaz de Leon, Andile Khumalo, and Bryan Jacobs.
In this unprecedented performance workshop, open to any student performers from any and all traditions--musicians, poets, actors, dancers, musicians, writers--Greg Tate, Louis Armstrong Visiting Professor at the Center for Jazz Studies for Fall 2009, will demonstrate how new musical material may be generated and existing musical material may be restructured and renewed in real-time performance, using Conduction, the versatile lexicon of hand and baton gestures developed over the past twenty years by improvisor and conductor Lawrence "Butch" Morris.
As leader of the innovative musical ensemble Burnt Sugar, The Arkestra Chamber, Tate uses Conduction in live performance and in the studio to compose and select material from a wide range of composers and genres--Thelonious Monk, Chaka Khan, Jimi Hendrix, Charles Mingus, Iggy Pop, and others. In this workshop, joined by members of the Arkestra and the workshop participants, Tate will demonstrate these techniques and create new music.
