Still Here explores stories of migration, displacement, and survival by eight artists that represent a spectrum of the African Diaspora. The works in this exhibition use moving images to highlight the rituals and traditions that persevere and evolve, despite the oppressive historical ripple effects of colonialism and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Through practices and tools of survival such as migrating, defending, dancing, gathering, praying, and claiming agency over one’s body, the works in this exhibition demonstrate that black and brown bodies are not here for consumption of the white gaze, nor are they passive beings upon whom actions are done or inflicted. Artists include Larry Achiampong, Adama Delphine Fawundu, Third Horizon (Jason Fitzroy Jeffers), Carlos Javier Ortiz, Cinthia Marcelle, Melo-X, Helina Metaferia, and Joiri Minaya. Curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, Dexter Wimberly and Kiara Ventura, Still Here was originally organized at the Museum of the African Diaspora, San Francisco.

Apollo’s Fire
The Cleveland Baroque Orchestra
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Rediscovered
Jeannette Sorrell, conductor

In its sixth appearance at Schwab Auditorium, Apollo’s Fire will perform Antonio Vivaldi’s beloved concertos as the revolutionary acts of musical storytelling they were meant to be. Four Seasons Rediscovered will bring Vivaldi’s pictorial descriptions to life. Thought you knew the Four Seasons? Prepare for surprises!

From the bird calls and storms to a barking dog, flies and wasps, drunken peasants, an exhilarating fox hunt with “gunshots,” and more, the story that Vivaldi intended with these pieces is made clear as each concerto is preceded by a quick and polished “tour” of the sound effects to come. The virtuoso musicians of Apollo’s Fire take turns stepping into the spotlight as a different soloist leads each concerto.

The program will also feature dueling cellists in Vivaldi’s stormy Concerto for Two Cellos. Hear why Artistic Director and harpsichordist Jeannette Sorrell calls Vivaldi the “rock ’n’ roll composer of the eighteenth century.”

Named for the classical god of music and the sun, Apollo’s Fire, founded by Sorrell, revived the Baroque ideal that music should evoke the listeners’ passions. The ensemble is a collection of artists who share Sorrell’s passion for drama and rhetoric. London’s The Independent hails Apollo’s Fire as “one of the pre-eminent period-instrument ensembles.”

Artistic Viewpoints will not be offered before this concert.

Since 2006, the Pure Cane Sugar girls, Kate and Natty, have delivered exquisite vocal performances with sultry voices, soulful harmonies, and powerful lyrics. They are “an assemblage of masterful melodies and haunting harmonies that inspire sweet dreams”. With rooted accompanying artists Daryl Branford on drums, Brian Cleary on guitar, and Bob Hart on bass, their original, artful arrangements are captured on a backdrop of textured synergy and rhythm.

“Indigenous Roots/Routes: Contested Histories, Contemporary Experiences” reflects on the past five centuries of colonization and cultural exchange among Indigenous Peoples, Europeans, Africans and Americans. The exhibition explores the processes of social, religious and political adaptation, what it means to be rooted in or unrooted from one’s land, and how searching out unfamiliar routes forces others to travel new ones. It draws upon art, textural works and rare books from three major collections at Penn State: the Eberly Family Special Collections Library, the Matson Museum of Anthropology and the Palmer Museum of Art. Together the materials encourage us to question how history is written and how it informs contemporary works by Indigenous artists and activists. Located in the Special Collections Exhibition Gallery, 104 Paterno Library on Penn State's University Park campus, the exhibition is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, except for special holiday hours. The gallery is closed on Saturdays. Monthly hours of operation can be found at: https://libraries.psu.edu/monthly-hours?library=187
For more information, including information about accommodations and physical access, please contact Clara Drummond, curator and exhibitions coordinator, at 814-865-1793 or [email protected]

A quarter-century after stunning the theatre world, one of the greatest theatrical journeys of our time celebrates its 25th anniversary. As politically incendiary as any play in the American canon, Angels in America also manages to be, at turns, hilariously irreverent and heartbreakingly humane. In addition, it is astonishingly relevant, speaking every bit as urgently to our anxious times as it did when it first premiered. Tackling Reaganism, McCarthyism, immigration, religion, climate change, and AIDS against the backdrop of New York City in the mid-1980s, no contemporary drama has succeeded so indisputably with so ambitious a scope.

*Please note: Play is 3 hours and 30 minutes with two 15-minute intermissions.
