Save the Date for the Block 7 Dismantling Hate Series with Loretta Ross

Join Loretta Ross for a talk on reproductive justice as human rights.

Reproductive justice moves beyond choice and access to abortion. The term was coined by Ross and other African American women in 1994, following the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, Egypt. It is a broader term that uses a human rights framework and looks at reproductive oppression, sterilization abuse, immigration restrictions, gun culture, rape culture, the prison-to-school pipeline, and more. This presentation will cover all aspects of reproductive justice, which is becoming the primary framework new voices in the movement are using to move beyond the paralyzing debates of abortion politics.
Ross is an award-winning, nationally-recognized expert on racism and racial justice, women’s rights, and human rights. Her work emphasizes the intersectionality of social justice issues and how intersectionality can fuel transformation. Ross is a 2022 MacArthur Fellow and associate professor at Smith College (Northampton, MA) in the Program for the Study of Women and Gender.

SMF presents ‘The Art of Perseverance: Sounds of Hope and Restoration’

Tickets are free to the first concert in this year’s Intermezzo Season, which brings together festival faculty, CC instructors, and CC students

Lillie Gray, Forrest Tucker, Jacob Lynn-Palevsky

Lincoln Grench

Willo Abel Burglechner and Kiara Butts
The Colorado College Summer Music Festival opens this year’s Intermezzo Season with “The Art of Perseverance: Sounds of Hope and Restoration” beginning at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 5, with performances by festival faculty Mark Fewer, violin; Phillip Ying, viola; David Ying, cello; SMF Music Director Susan Grace, piano; and featured guests CC principal voice instructor Jennifer DeDominici, mezzo-soprano, and CC violin instructor Jeri Jorgensen. 
The program will include a wide range of music that explores themes of human fragility and how we persevere through difficult times, to include movements from two Brahms piano quartets, a movement from Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time, D’Rivera’s Danzón (Memories), and songs from Heggie’s Camille Claudel: Into the Fire.
The concert also includes a wealth of CC student participation. Poetry that corresponds to the music will be chosen and read by Jane Hilberry’s poetry students: Iyanla Ayite ’25, Janeiya Porter ’26, Henry Freedman ’23, Mary Andrews ’23, Keiko Ito ’26, and Anna Heimel ’23. Music students Lillie Gray ’26 on violin, Jacob Lynn-Palevsky ’23 on cello, and Forrest Tucker ’24 on piano will play Carlos Simon’s piano trio be still and know, and Tucker and Lincoln Grench ’23 will perform Shostakovich’s Concertino for 2 pianos. Performing “Everything Else” from Next to Normal will be Willo Abel Burglechner ’23, baritone (alternate vocalist: Kiara Butts ’23, mezzo-soprano), with accompanist Daniel Brink, piano.
“Beginning this fall, we began thinking about the conversations around us at the college and with others in our community – conversations about the challenging moments in our lives. Emerging from Covid, unforeseen tragedies of illness and death, war, gun violence, natural disasters – such events continue to surround us,” Grace said. “As we contemplate the cumulative impact of these events and our responses to them, we want to acknowledge how art and music can be a part of how we continue to find beauty, hope, courage, empathy, and perhaps transcendence.”
Tickets are free. The event is presented with additional support from the Colorado College Wellness Resource Center. For more information, call the Festival Office at (719) 389-6552.

CC Bluegrass featured in national magazine

The CC Rocky Mountain Tops: Olivia Dossett, Anabel Shenk, Lena Fleischer, Willik Mir.

The Tumbleweeds: Naomi Pryzant, Lucy Capone, Maren Snow.
The Colorado College Bluegrass program was featured in the July 2022 issue of Bluegrass Unlimited, a nationally-circulated publication widely considered to be the premier magazine for bluegrass music.
“Bluegrass Goes to College” highlights the program’s uniqueness among liberal arts institutions and some of the advantages of learning bluegrass under the Block Plan. An interview with CC Bluegrass instructor Keith Reed details how the bluegrass program has grown since he began teaching acoustic guitar and banjo following a career as a full-time traveling and recording bluegrass musician.
Almost immediately after Reed began teaching guitar and banjo lessons at CC in 2004, he noticed that students were showing great interest in bluegrass and “old-time” styles of music, so he formed a small bluegrass group that soon started performing on campus.
“I noticed very quickly, I saw it in their eyes, there was an obvious spark for this with students,” Reed said. “What I love to see is the diversity of students in our program. They’re all from different places and backgrounds, but they find this commonality through playing music together. It’s accessible, it’s simplistic, but it can also be complicated and at a very high level.”

Ben—Amots Ensemble debuts in Prague

The music of Colorado College Music Department co-chair Ofer Ben-Amots is the inspiration for a new vocal ensemble from Prague.
The Ben—Amots Ensemble is a nine-person chamber choir whose repertoire primarily comprises its namesake’s music, as well as works by other composers. The ensemble presented its first concert on Sunday, March 26, in Prague’s Rudolfinum, which began the group’s month-long tour in venues across the Czech Republic, culminating in a performance on Holocaust Remembrance Day in April.
The title and theme of the concert, “Srdce a Fontána,” is a translation of Ben-Amots’ choral work “The Heart and the Fountain” from his opera The Dybbuk. The Ben—Amots Ensemble was founded by one of its members, Kateřina Dvorská, as an offshoot of her B.A. thesis — an analysis of Ben-Amots’ choral music — at Charles University.
