SUMMARY:Charles Ives 150th Birthday Celebration Concerts
DESCRIPTION:CHARLES IVES 150TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION CONCERTS: WestConn is partnering with the Danbury Museum and the Danbury Music Centre in celebrating the 150th birthday of Charles Edward Ives\, Pulitzer Prize winner\, CT State Composer and the Father of American classical composition. Born in Danbury\, he used the sights and sounds of our community to craft his works which eventually led to international recognition. We are thrilled that international\, national and local artists have approached our groups to structure free\, engaging performances in honor of the man\, the legend\, the giant of American composition. This is not a fundraiser\, but a friend raiser\, a celebratory moment in our shared American experience\, and we hope you can be a part of all of this! From 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Ives Concert Hall in White Hall on the Midtown campus. Reserve a seat at https://wcsutickets.ticketspice.com/charles-ives-150-event-

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening
DESCRIPTION:GALLERY OPENING – LISA ELMALEH\, “TIERRA PROMETIDA / JESSICA WOLFF\, “THE NEW MESTIZA”: \nLisa Elmaleh: Tierra Prometida\nJessica Wolff: The New Mestiza\nTwo Photographers Depict Stories of Migration and Immigration \nOn view Sept 12–Oct 13\, 2024\nOpening Reception: Thurs\, Sept 12\, 2024\n6 – 8 p.m. \nTHE GALLERY at the Visual & Performing Arts Center\nWestern Connecticut State University\nWestside Campus\, 43 Lake Ave Extension\, Danbury\, CT 06811\nGallery Hours: Tues–Fri\, noon – 4 p.m.\, Sat–Sun\, 1 – 4 p.m. \nLisa Elmaleh’s series of photographs\, Tierra Prometida\, captures the multifaceted aspects of migration along the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Her work encompasses the people\, landscape\, migratory routes\, and humanitarian efforts in the area. While conveying both empathy and urgency\, her work challenges the myth of the American Dream from the perspective of the borderland environs\, the individuals seeking asylum in the United States\, and the volunteers and groups involved in providing essential assistance to migrants. \nJessica Wolff’s photographs delve into the experience of being Mexican-American and navigating the dynamics of two cultures that often clash or contradict each other. Embracing the term “mestizos” (of mixed race)\, Jessica acknowledges her and her subjects’ Indigenous and Spanish ancestry. Using symbols and icons from both Mexican and American history\, she creates a fusion that represents a new culture\, new myths\, new icons\, and new images\, where there is no longer a strict division between Mexican and American identities\, but rather the emergence of a new mestiza culture. \nReserve a spot for the reception at www.eventbrite.com/e/art-opening-lisa-elmaleh-tierra-prometidajessica-wolff-the-new-mestiza-tickets-917287861687
