SUMMARY:Etienne Charles: “Earth Tones”
DESCRIPTION:“Earth Tones” is presented in partnership with the Pathways to Resilience QEP\, a five-year climate literacy initiative at App State. \nTrinidadian trumpeter and composer Etienne Charles has dedicated his recent works to highlighting the voices of marginalized peoples in the Americas. He broadens his scope with his latest composition\, Earth Tones\, a multimedia jazz performance featuring original compositions that draw attention to people and regions that are\, or soon will be\, severely affected by climate change. The performance invites us into a sensory journey that includes sounds\, stories\, and musical idioms from at-risk coastal communities\, with images and short films of disappearing mangrove swamps\, coral reefs\, oyster beds\, seagrass\, sand dunes\, and mud volcanoes. Featuring musicians from the very communities most at risk\, the performance balances blunt reality\, eternal optimism\, and surrealism\, ultimately offering an exhortation to address climate change’s impact on our future.

SUMMARY:Rhiannon Giddens
DESCRIPTION:Rhiannon Giddens imbues her brand of folk music with miles-deep historical roots and contemporary sensibilities\, pursuing an authentic understanding of the country’s musical origins through art. \nA two-time Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning singer and instrumentalist\, MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient\, and composer of opera\, ballet\, and film\, Giddens has centered her work around the mission of lifting up people whose contributions to American musical history have previously been overlooked or erased. \nAs Pitchfork once said\, “few artists are so fearless and so ravenous in their exploration” — a journey that has led to NPR naming her one of its 25 Most Influential Women Musicians of the 21st Century and to American Songwriter calling her “one of the most important musical minds currently walking the planet.”

SUMMARY:Margo Price
DESCRIPTION:For nearly a decade\, Margo Price has created a lane where independent-minded\, insurgent country music can exist and thrive alongside the mainstream. Now she’s back with an exquisite\, timeless album that reconnects with her roots.
