The Music Of Duke Ellington: On A Turquoise Cloud
Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 8:00PM
On a Turquoise Cloud brings a stunning chapter of the Ellington songbook to light, curated by singer/scholar Candice Hoyes with artistic direction and original arrangements by bassist Noah Jackson. Comprised of rarely-performed songs that remain as innovative today as they were in Ellington’s day, “On a Turquoise Cloud” paved the way in style and substance for today’s musical theater, soul, and contemporary classical music. This rare, genre-bending collection has been nearly unknown since Duke Ellington’s performances over 70 years ago, and was reclaimed by Hoyes through research. With Jackson’s creative approach, a unique blend of jazz quartet and string quartet, this concert promises to inspire music lovers of every persuasion.

A Weekend with Humphrey and Huston: Beat The Devil
When:
Fri, February 28, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
In 1953 the legendary director, John Huston set out to make another picture with his friend and frequent collaborator, Humphrey Bogart and enlisted the help of a fledgling writer by the name of Truman Capote. When it was finished it fell with a flop at the box office. Beat the Devil, however, would eventually live on to reach cult status.
The end result is a comic adventure story that also works as a spoof of Huston’s own work, and is one that clearly cares more about character than plot. Capote’s dialogue, while often patently absurd, is delightful; and the actors, (including marquee stars and veteran character actors alike,) make the most of their parts as they deliver each line with gusto. While the characters (or caricatures) seem as bewildered by the plot as the viewer might be, in the end it doesn’t matter much; everyone seems to be having way too much fun.
Doors open at 7pm, Organ Overture at 7:30pm
Free Parking in back off Gilbert Street.

A Weekend with Humphrey and Huston: The Maltese Falcon
When:
Sat, February 29, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
The Maltese Falcon was an enormous success, and as the years have gone by, its reputation has only grown. It is often cited as the first important film in a genre that still resonates with viewers today nearly 80 years later: Film Noir. Audiences at the time reveled in the snappy dialogue as they were taken on a journey through a dark and labyrinthine plot with shadows and fog to match.
The film’s success can be largely attributed to Huston’s meticulous planning. His screenplay took almost all of the film’s dialogue straight from the novel. This gave him more time to sketch out his storyboards. By the time filming started, the actors knew exactly what they were going to say, and the cinematographer knew exactly how each shot was to be framed. The film was essentially made in Huston’s mind before the crew arrived.
Of course, the film wouldn’t have been the same without the universally outstanding performances of its cast. Beyond Humphrey Bogart’s star turn and Mary Astor’s expert take on the scheming femme fatale archetype, Peter Lorre shines as the deceitful lowlife, Joel Cairo. Sydney Greenstreet gives an iconic performance as Cairo’s boss, Kasper “Fat Man” Gutman. His performance as the well-educated but depraved ringleader earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
They Live is a 1988 American science-fiction action thriller film written and directed by John Carpenter. It follows a drifter (Roddy Piper) who discovers that the ruling class are aliens concealing their appearance and manipulating people to spend money, breed, and accept the status quo with subliminal messages in mass media.
The film’s six-minute alley brawl between Keith David and Roddy Piper over a pair of the special sunglasses is on many all-time lists for best fight scenes.
Doors open at 7pm, Organ Overture at 7:30pm
Free Parking in back off Gilbert Street.

Previously, Diane worked first as a community health nurse and then as a family nurse practitioner for 18 years. She received both her undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH.

Wallace House Presents: The 34th Graham Hovey Lecture
“Seeing Green: The Business and Inequity of Climate Change” with McKenzie Funk
September 10, 2019 | 5 p.m.
Wallace House Gardens
620 Oxford Road
Ann Arbor, MI 48103
Open to the public
While the issue of climate change rises in importance to the U.S. electorate, players in energy, banking and business are cashing in on the environmental crisis. McKenzie Funk, 2012 Knight-Wallace Fellow, is the author of “Windfall: The Booming Business of Global Warming.” Join him for a critical discussion of drought, rising seas, profiteering, and the hardest truth about climate change: It’s not equally bad for everyone.
Funk writes for Harper’s, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, Outside, The New York Times Magazine and the London Review of Books. His 2014 book “Windfall” won a PEN Literary Award and was named a book of the year by The New Yorker, Mother Jones, Salon and Amazon.com. A National Magazine Award and Livingston Award finalist, Funk won the Oakes Prize for Environmental Journalism for his reporting on the melting Arctic and has received fellowships at the Open Society Foundations and MacDowell Colony for his forthcoming work on data and privacy.
Funk studied philosophy and comparative literature at Swarthmore College and capitalism and the paradigm of endless growth as a 2012 Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow at the University of Michigan. He speaks five languages and is a native of the Pacific Northwest, where he lives with his wife and sons.
The annual Graham Hovey Lecture recognizes a Knight-Wallace journalist whose career exemplifies the benefits of a fellowship at the University of Michigan and whose ensuing work is at the forefront of national conversation. The event is named for the late Graham Hovey, director of the fellowship program from 1980 to 1986 and a distinguished journalist for The New York Times.

The Music Of Duke Ellington: On A Turquoise Cloud
Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 8:00PM
On a Turquoise Cloud brings a stunning chapter of the Ellington songbook to light, curated by singer/scholar Candice Hoyes with artistic direction and original arrangements by bassist Noah Jackson. Comprised of rarely-performed songs that remain as innovative today as they were in Ellington’s day, “On a Turquoise Cloud” paved the way in style and substance for today’s musical theater, soul, and contemporary classical music. This rare, genre-bending collection has been nearly unknown since Duke Ellington’s performances over 70 years ago, and was reclaimed by Hoyes through research. With Jackson’s creative approach, a unique blend of jazz quartet and string quartet, this concert promises to inspire music lovers of every persuasion.

A Weekend with Humphrey and Huston: Beat The Devil
When:
Fri, February 28, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
In 1953 the legendary director, John Huston set out to make another picture with his friend and frequent collaborator, Humphrey Bogart and enlisted the help of a fledgling writer by the name of Truman Capote. When it was finished it fell with a flop at the box office. Beat the Devil, however, would eventually live on to reach cult status.
The end result is a comic adventure story that also works as a spoof of Huston’s own work, and is one that clearly cares more about character than plot. Capote’s dialogue, while often patently absurd, is delightful; and the actors, (including marquee stars and veteran character actors alike,) make the most of their parts as they deliver each line with gusto. While the characters (or caricatures) seem as bewildered by the plot as the viewer might be, in the end it doesn’t matter much; everyone seems to be having way too much fun.
Doors open at 7pm, Organ Overture at 7:30pm

A Weekend with Humphrey and Huston: The Maltese Falcon
When:
Sat, February 29, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
The Maltese Falcon was an enormous success, and as the years have gone by, its reputation has only grown. It is often cited as the first important film in a genre that still resonates with viewers today nearly 80 years later: Film Noir. Audiences at the time reveled in the snappy dialogue as they were taken on a journey through a dark and labyrinthine plot with shadows and fog to match.
The film’s success can be largely attributed to Huston’s meticulous planning. His screenplay took almost all of the film’s dialogue straight from the novel. This gave him more time to sketch out his storyboards. By the time filming started, the actors knew exactly what they were going to say, and the cinematographer knew exactly how each shot was to be framed. The film was essentially made in Huston’s mind before the crew arrived.
Of course, the film wouldn’t have been the same without the universally outstanding performances of its cast. Beyond Humphrey Bogart’s star turn and Mary Astor’s expert take on the scheming femme fatale archetype, Peter Lorre shines as the deceitful lowlife, Joel Cairo. Sydney Greenstreet gives an iconic performance as Cairo’s boss, Kasper “Fat Man” Gutman. His performance as the well-educated but depraved ringleader earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Movies at the Senate: They Live
When:
Sat, March 21, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:

Description:
They Live is a 1988 American science-fiction action thriller film written and directed by John Carpenter. It follows a drifter (Roddy Piper) who discovers that the ruling class are aliens concealing their appearance and manipulating people to spend money, breed, and accept the status quo with subliminal messages in mass media.
The film’s six-minute alley brawl between Keith David and Roddy Piper over a pair of the special sunglasses is on many all-time lists for best fight scenes.

About the Paul King Quintet
Influenced heavily by the great jazz, swing and soul crooners, Paul King is renowned for his smooth tone, stirring repertoire, sophisticated style, and eloquent phrasing. If your musical palate requires an urbane vocal artist with a classic, swinging style, search no more.
Typically fronting the award-winning big band, the Rhythm Society Orchestra(RSO) from Detroit, you can also find Paul King singing with Detroit’s best musicians, at various venues and supper clubs throughout the Motor City area, including the Dirty Dog Jazz Café, Cliff Bell’s, the London Chop House, the Willis Show Bar & the Detroit Club.
King’s recordings include Tom Loncaric’s I’m Crazy ‘Bout My Baby, RSO’s Linger Awhile, The Royal Garden Trio’s second self-titled recording and his and Scott Gwinnell’s production of Paul King with Strings. On the small and big screens, one of Paul’s songs was featured on the ABC hit show “Men in Trees,” and Paul and RSO can be seen and heard performing in the movie Forever In Time. You may also recognize Paul’s voice in various television, radio and web ads.
The Paul King Quintet features Tom Dennis on Piano, Jeff Pedraz on Bass, Rob Avsharian on Drums and Dave Tatrow on Trumpet.

Nosferatu + Live Music
Thursday, October 31, 2019 – 7:00 PM
Rejuvenating silent film classics with live music, the Andrew Alden Ensemble brings an exciting new score to the iconic Nosferatu. F.W. Murnau’s German expressionist horror film is revered as one of the scariest Dracula adaptations ever made.

The music, featuring piano, violin/viola, synthesizers, percussion, guitar, saxophone, and electric sound design, will be performed in person during the showing of the film, giving audiences a new experience of this memorable classic.

Wallace House Presents “Held Hostage: Ensuring the Safe Return of Americans Held Captive Abroad” with Joel Simon of the Committee to Protect Journalists and Diane Foley of the James W. Foley Foundation
October 7, 2019 | 4 p.m.
Annenberg Auditorium
735 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Free and open to the public.
Each year, it’s estimated that hundreds of American journalists, humanitarian aid workers, business people and tourists are taken captive by foreign governments, terrorist groups and criminal organizations. How can we better understand U.S. hostage policy and the risks and challenges of bringing our fellow Americans home? Join us for a discussion on negotiating with hostile actors, growing threats to journalists and aid workers both at home and abroad, and the safety measures they should undertake.
Panelists:
Diane Foley is the mother of five children, including American freelance conflict journalist James W. Foley. She founded the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation in September 2014, less than a month after his public execution. Diane is currently serving as the President and Executive Director of JWFLF. Since 2014, she has led JWFLF efforts to fund the start of Hostage US and the international Alliance for a Culture of Safety, ACOS. In 2015, she actively participated in the National Counterterrorism Center hostage review which culminated in the Presidential Policy Directive-30. This directive re-organized US efforts on behalf of Americans taken hostage abroad into an interagency Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell, Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs and a White Hostage Response Group. Previously, Diane worked first as a community health nurse and then as a family nurse practitioner for 18 years. She received both her undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH.
Joel Simon is the executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists. He has written widely on media issues, contributing to Slate, Columbia Journalism Review, The New York Review of Books, World Policy Journal, Asahi Shimbun, and The Times of India. He has led numerous international missions to advance press freedom. His book, “The New Censorship: Inside the Global Battle for Media Freedom,” was published in November 2014.
Moderator:
Margaux Ewen is the executive director of the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation, a non-profit organization founded after the brutal 2014 murder of James Foley, an American freelance journalist, while he was held captive by ISIS in Syria. The foundation’s mission is to advocate for the freedom of all Americans held hostage or unjustly detained abroad and promote the safety of journalists worldwide. Prior to joining the Foley Foundation, Margaux was North America director for Reporters Without Borders. She has a demonstrated history of working in the broadcast media industry and advocating for media rights and has two law degrees from the Sorbonne in France and from The George Washington University in the U.S.

Chandelier Harp by Jen Lewin
Create a musical symphony, using your hands, arms, legs, or body! Designed for active, collaborative, community-based play, Chandelier Harp is a large-scale interactive instrument played by passing your body through low voltage lasers that shine from the top of the walk-through structure to the ground. Much like plucking the string of a harp, passing through the beams triggers custom circuitry and sensors to produce musical notes. Lasers are safe for audience members of all ages and abilities.

Wallace House Presents: The 34th Graham Hovey Lecture
“Seeing Green: The Business and Inequity of Climate Change” with McKenzie Funk
September 10, 2019 | 5 p.m.
Wallace House Gardens
620 Oxford Road
Ann Arbor, MI 48103
Open to the public
While the issue of climate change rises in importance to the U.S. electorate, players in energy, banking and business are cashing in on the environmental crisis. McKenzie Funk, 2012 Knight-Wallace Fellow, is the author of “Windfall: The Booming Business of Global Warming.” Join him for a critical discussion of drought, rising seas, profiteering, and the hardest truth about climate change: It’s not equally bad for everyone.
Funk writes for Harper’s, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, Outside, The New York Times Magazine and the London Review of Books. His 2014 book “Windfall” won a PEN Literary Award and was named a book of the year by The New Yorker, Mother Jones, Salon and Amazon.com. A National Magazine Award and Livingston Award finalist, Funk won the Oakes Prize for Environmental Journalism for his reporting on the melting Arctic and has received fellowships at the Open Society Foundations and MacDowell Colony for his forthcoming work on data and privacy.
Funk studied philosophy and comparative literature at Swarthmore College and capitalism and the paradigm of endless growth as a 2012 Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow at the University of Michigan. He speaks five languages and is a native of the Pacific Northwest, where he lives with his wife and sons.
The annual Graham Hovey Lecture recognizes a Knight-Wallace journalist whose career exemplifies the benefits of a fellowship at the University of Michigan and whose ensuing work is at the forefront of national conversation. The event is named for the late Graham Hovey, director of the fellowship program from 1980 to 1986 and a distinguished journalist for The New York Times.
Thank you Joey, it’s been added to the calendar.
