American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times
<p>American Visionary: John F. Kennedy’s Life and Times brings together seventy-seven images culled from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Getty Images, private collections, and the Kennedy family archives. The dramatic scope of Kennedy’s life is evident in these photographs—from his first congressional bid as a decorated war hero in 1946, his fairytale marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953, his run for the White House in 1960 and role as commander in chief, to the tragedy of his death in Dallas in 1963. These images remain as vivid evidence of John Kennedy’s imprint upon the American conscience.</p> 2019-04-23 16:00:00 -0500

Power and Protest: Political Photography and Prints
<p>American politics have been contentious for as long as America has existed. Drawn from the CRMA’s own collection of photographs and prints, Power and Protest celebrates the glossy official images of political power, the behind-the-scenes work to keep people there, and the demonstrations, marches, and rallies that spoke to that power. Power and Protest was designed as a complement to the John F. Kennedy exhibition and both emphasize the role art has had in shaping the political views of our nation.</p><p>This exhibition has been made possible by the McIntyre Foundation and the Diamond V Corporate Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. </p><p>Image caption:</p><p>Ben Shahn, <em>Martin Luther King Jr</em>., 1966, wood engraving, 24 7/8 x 20 1/16 inches, gift of Peter O.

Luther College Collegium Musicum to present concert April 24
<p>Featuring the oratorio "Jepthe," the Luther College Collegium Musicum will present a concert at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 24, in the Noble Recital Hall of Luther's Jenson Noble Hall of Music.</p><p>The concert is open to the public with no charge for admission.</p><p>The program will feature the 17th-century oratorio, "Jepthe," by Giacomo Carissimi. The work tells the tragic Biblical story of King Jepthe and the sacrifice of his daughter, as told in the Book of Judges. Famous in Western music history as one of the great early oratorios and in choral circles for its memorable final chorus, "Jepthe" is rarely performed in its entirety.</p><p>The oratorio performance will feature faculty soloists Jennaya Robison, soprano, and Evan Mitchell, tenor, in addition to student soloists, chorus, cello and bass. Collegium Director Kathryn Reed will conduct the work from the harpsichord. </p><p>Also featured in the concert are works by Thomas Tallis for recorder ensemble and a set of English madrigals for vocal ensemble.</p><p>Luther is home to one of the largest collegiate music programs in the nation, with five choirs, three orchestras, three bands, two jazz bands and nearly 800 student musicians. Luther students participate in large ensembles, faculty-coached chamber groups, private lessons and master classes. More than 275 music majors study music theory, ear training, history, education, composition, jazz, church music and performance.</p> 2019-04-12 21:00:00 -0500
