Hansen Musical Arts Series: Kronos Quartet
February 14 | 8 p.m.
Kobacker Hall, Moore Musical Arts Center
Kronos Quartet combines a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience, changing the way we think about music. In the process, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential chamber ensembles of our time. Kronos celebrates their 50th anniversary with the 50 for the Future project, an ongoing multiyear project featuring new works by an international and diverse group of composers. Their two-day residency at BGSU, culminating with this concert performance, is generously supported by Dorothy and DuWayne Hansen.
Free and open to the public.
In The Round: Artistry, Activism, & Presence of Native Creatives
In The Round: a speaker series featuring Native American Creatives seeks to render visible—to the BGSU and local communities—the artistry, activism, and presence of contemporary Native American artists. This series is an extension of the recently-developed BGSU Land Acknowledgment, which provides a foundation upon which the university can build purposeful and sustained practices that seek to decolonize our institution.
In The Round features Native American creatives who work in the areas of the arts here at BGSU: Fine Art, Graphic Design, Music, Creative Writing, Film, and Theatre. The series offers opportunities to enrich the learning, experiences, and perspectives of all members of our campus and local communities. By engaging contemporary Indigenous and Native American Artists, this series challenges erroneous and harmful stereotypes that continue to permeate American society today. Exposure to the artists’ works and techniques through which they share their experiences, worldviews, and reactions to the cultural and historical moment in which we all find ourselves facilitates growth and dynamic learning opportunities for students, staff, and faculty.
