Within Balinese gamelan music, <em>Gamelan</em>, is the Indonesian term for a set of instruments made primarily of bronze or bamboo. On the island of Bali there is a plethora of gamelan ranging from two to as many as fifty instruments, some of which date back over 700 years. Characterized by a structural framework marked by gongs, rapid-fire interlocking parts that elaborate upon a core melody, and tightly coordinated sudden shifts in tempo and dynamics, Balinese gamelan reflects the spirit of interaction and community and exemplifies the practice of mutual help (<em>gotong royong</em>).  Grebel Balinese Gamelan performers are Andrew Beltaos, Jerry Liu, Jill Moroz-Filotiv, Hanna Negami, Mitchell Rushton, Andrew Smith, Stephen Trothen, Arie van de Ven, ‪Alex Wharton, Linna Zheng and Christin Zhong. </p> <p><strong>University of ݮƵ Choir</strong>, conducted by Gerard Yun, consists of students, staff, faculty, and community members. The choir rehearses and performs a wide variety of large-ensemble literature from western classics to cultural musics of North America, South Africa, Estonia, Senegal, Japan, China, Bali, and Europe. The group has pioneered community music collaborations with a wide variety of professional and community artists in styles ranging from bluegrass to Persian song.  Active in local community, they regularly appear in KW’s annual signature community event, Sing Fires of Justice, and most recently performed with an all-star line up as part of ݮƵ’s Benefit for Attawapiskat.</p> <p>Soprano, <strong>Stephanie Kramer </strong>enjoys an active solo career throughout Ontario as guest performer with many groups including <em>The Menno</em> <em>Singers</em>, <em>The Mennonite Mass Choir</em>, <em>The Renaissance Singers</em>, <em>DaCapo Chamber Choir</em>, and <em>Spiritus Ensemble</em>. For many years she was a frequently featured soloist with <em>The Elora Festival Singers</em> and has also appeared in concert in Toronto with <em>Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir</em>. She is voice instructor and studio coordinator at Conrad Grebel University College.</p> <p>Formed in 2010, the high energy <strong>Factory Arts String Quartet</strong> is the core ensemble for the music series INNERchamber held in Stratford, Ontario. Players are well known nationally and internationally (Andrew Chung and Julie Baumgartel violins, Jody Davenport, guest violist, Ben Bolt-Martin cello), and perform in festivals throughout Ontario and beyond.</p> <p><strong><em>Earth Peace</em></strong> by Carol Ann Weaver, composed and compiled in South Africa and Namibia during 2015-2016, tells global stories of conflict, pain, resolution and joy, allowing humans to be in dialogue with and learn from creatures in the natural world.  All of us are <em>part</em> of the earth; so global peacemaking involves humans <em>and</em> the natural world.  Choral pieces respond with mostly Latin Mass texts and English lyrics by CAW, while the string quartet plays short reflections.  The writings, obtained from those who answered a call for <em>Earth Peace</em> stories, do not represent <em>all</em> regions of the globe, but represent significant parts of the larger focus of this conference. Each writer is identified by name; their writings, used by permission, occur in this order: Ann Hostetler, Gus and Margie Mills, Harold Miller, Jennifer Ball, Dorothy Jean Weaver, Reina Neufeldt, Charity Schellenberg, Dave Klassen, and Faith Eides; all others by CAW.   Tonight’s performance marks the world premiere, and is generously supported by the Global Mennonite Peacebuilding Conference and Festival.</p> </div> </div> <p><br /></p><div class="uw-media media media--type-uw-mt-image media--view-mode-uw-vm-standard-image" data-width="500" data-height="745"> <img src="/music/sites/default/files/uploads/images/yoruba_shield_huge.jpg" width="500" height="745" alt="Yoruba Sheild" loading="lazy" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> Mon, 18 Apr 2016 16:14:34 +0000 Angelica Allen Assistant 287 at /music
