The program includes several acts that are unusual in our College of Music—among others, highlights include freestyle hiphop dance, a Latin American cumbia ensemble, traditional Zimbabwean Mbira songs, tango dancers and an original composition for bassoon and piano by Isabel Goodwin, one of our student composers.”</p><p dir="ltr">Diversity and Outreach Coordinator Alexis McClain agrees: “From fiddle tunes to bassoon music, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">“I’m very excited to check out this show—my first one since taking on my new role with the College of Music. I love to see people light up doing what they enjoy and are good at.”</p><h6 dir="ltr"><em>Photos: Guitar performance major and DiMA member Izzy Fincher, who will perform&nbsp;Carlos Rafael Rivera’s “Whirler of the Dance”; Julianne Kim and Zhouming Sun in rehearsal; and the&nbsp;Cold Brew Freestyle Crew, who will perform a&nbsp;song mix.</em></h6><p dir="ltr"> </p><div class="align-left image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/music/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/img_0093.jpg?itok=p-6PWISq" width="750" height="748" alt="IMG_0093"> </div> </div> &nbsp;<a href="/music/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/article-image/img_4947_3.jpg?itok=7yhDY7pF" rel="nofollow"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/music/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/img_4947_3.jpg?itok=1O_IcRCc" width="750" height="663" alt="4947"> </div> </a>&nbsp;&nbsp; <div class="align-left image_style-medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle medium_750px_50_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/music/sites/default/files/styles/medium_750px_50_display_size_/public/article-image/162836009397350181.jpg?itok=fLkLOAD2" width="750" height="750" alt="162836009397350181"> </div> </div> <p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>The College of Music’s Diverse Musicians’ Alliance presents this year’s Diversity in Performance event—“Roots and Branches”—on March 31.</div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 16 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 7863 at /music
