Joe's Pub - Quintet Show

https://publictheater.org/productions/joes-pub/2024/s/stephanie-chou-oct/

Doors 6pm/ Show 7pm

Following April's successful performance of Comfort Girl, Stephanie brings her band back to Joe's Pub for a performance of entirely different material!

Stephanie Chou is a composer/saxophonist/singer who blends influences from her Chinese heritage with Western jazz and pop to create a bracingly original sound. Tonight's show will feature live premieres of newly-written material and fan favorites from her eclectic and wide-ranging body of work.

Chinatown Dreams is a songwriting album following the journey of a young, second-generation Chinese-American woman, as she and her Chinatown community go through a year of tremendous challenges. This semi-autobiographical story examines the conflict between choosing the safe, expected path vs. following one's heart, a conflict so many second-generation Americans of all sorts face. Chinatown Dreams will be a concept album written for her band, with lyrics in English and Mandarin. The music combines the energy of improvised jazz with the precision of progressive rock, in an homage to Manhattan's Chinatown.

Stephanie Chou - voice, alto saxophone, compositions
Andy Lin - erhu, viola, violin
Hyuna Park - piano
Matt Aronoff - bass
Ronen Itzik - drums, percussion
James Wordsworth - guest singer
Lito Villareal - guest singer

“A stunning work that not only shines light on a dark chapter of history but also feels inspirational for contemporary listeners.” – DownBeat

“One of New York’s most socially relevant and ambitious jazz talents." - New York Music Daily

Tonight's concert is supported by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Creative Engagement, part of the Manhattan Arts Grants programs with funding provided by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone (UMEZ), and Howard Gilman Foundation.

Bridges Math Art Conference - Continuum Hypothesis

Bridges Math Art Conference - Continuum Hypothesis

  • Virginia Commonwealth University (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

https://www.bridgesmathart.org/

Continuum Hypothesis will be screened at the Bridges Short Film Festival

The goal of the Bridges Organization is to foster research, practice, and new interest in mathematical connections to art, music, architecture, and culture. All too often, mathematics can seem disconnected from or even antithetical to these other topics. We believe that mathematics and art can inform and enrich each other, that there are great ideas waiting to be found in mathematical analysis and synthesis of art, and that artistic thinking and activities can enliven the mathematics classroom.

The centrepiece of our mission is the annual Bridges Conference, typically held in late July or early August. The conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of mathematicians, scientists, artists, educators, musicians, writers, computer scientists, sculptors, dancers, weavers, model builders and many others in an atmosphere of mutual exchange and inspiration.  Bridges typically includes invited plenary talks, contributed research papers, hands-on workshops, a visual art exhibition, a public “family day”, and arts-focused performance events in music, film, poetry, and theatre.
