A local film centered on the sudden suspension of 25 academic programs at the University of Wisconsin-Superior in 2017 will premiere Saturday, Oct. 31, on Amazon Prime, three years after they were announced.
“Outsourced: The New Wisconsin Idea,” is the passion project of UWS alumni Megan McGarvey and Katie Lindow.
We Three Kings premiere
Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial presentation of “ … And They Lynched Him on a Tree” by William Grant Still and the world premiere of Rudy Perrault’s “We Three Kings.” I was unfamiliar with this specific work by Still as it is a choral work, but what I learned about it and how significant a work it is makes me want to hear it again and again! I really wish it were performed more regularly.
On the same program was a work by my UMD colleague Jean Perrault. This work is a premiere for the memorial event, the use of extremes and dissonance really captures for me the pain and discord. Thankful music could connect the past and present.
