Dick Pinney: Jack of All Trades
<p>Dick Pinney (1924-1996) was a long-time favorite in the Cedar Rapids art scene. Accomplished in many media, this former creative director for Stamats Communications and Coe College vice president was perhaps most famous for the numerous carved wood assemblages that he created, usually as commissions for area business leaders. Paintings, drawings, ceramics, assemblages, constructions, games, and puppets were all part of Pinney’s repertoire. This exhibition, timed to coincide with the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of Pinney’s passing in 1996, celebrates the artist’s diverse and wide-reaching artwork. </p> 2021-10-24 16:00:00 -0500

The Living
<p>A disease is spreading and killing everyone it strikes. People, who haven't fled to the country and haven't been forced into quarantine, are wearing masks and keeping each other at a distance. In the meantime, the systems that hold society together are falling apart. Written during the AIDS crisis, death may be lurking at the edges of this account of London in the 17th century, but at its center is life filled with fortitude and compassion.</p><p>$15 General Admission; $10 non-Coe students and seniors 55 and older. Free to Coe College students, faculty and staff with college ID. Tickets available at the Coe Box Office in Upper Gage or by calling 319.399.8600.</p><p>Production is produced and presented following COVID-19 protocols.

Licorice Schtick: Red Cedar Chamber Music
<p>Tickets $20 at the door, $10 for under thirty.</p><p>Red Cedar Chamber Music’s Directors and core ensemble, violinist Miera Kim and cellist Carey Bostian are joined by clarinetist Christine Bellomy and violist Elizabeth Oakes for a program of works by living composers.</p><p>This is Christine Bellomy’s third appearance as guest artist with Red Cedar, having performed two previous trio programs with the core ensemble. This program adds violist Elizabeth Oakes and includes 5 works for clarinet, violin, viola, and cello by living composers. Oakes is the Director of the University Iowa String Quartet Residency program and the former violist of the Maia Quartet.</p><p>Among the five living composers with works on the program are two women, Gwyneth Walker (b. 1947) and Natalie Hunt (b. 1985). Walker is a former faculty member at Oberlin Conservatory and is retired to her hometown in Connecticut. Her work A Cup of Rejoicing opens the program. Hunt is an exciting young composer living in New Zealand. Jeff Smallman (b. 1965) is a versatile Canadian composer. Both he and Hunt have written multi-movement works for clarinet quartet that represent very different styles.</p><p>Two Iowa composers have contributed works to the program. Jerry Owen, Red Cedar’s first composer-in-residence, has arranged his 1994 work Licorice Brittle (originally for clarinet and piano) for the ensemble. The work was premiered by Christine Bellomy and has tremendous energy and an intricate texture. Michael Kimber, Red Cedar’s current (6<sup>th</sup>) composer-in-residence has written Four Chorinhos for Little Brazilian Birds for the program. Choros is an instrumental Brazilian music genre akin to New Orleans jazz. Each movement is dedicated to an endangered Brazilian songbird. Kimber’s Chorinhos are as colorful as the birds that inspired them.</p><p>The September-October series of concerts is made possible by the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, the City of Marion, the Iowa Arts Council, the McIntyre Foundation, AEGON Transamerica Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, CRST International. Additional support comes from United Fire Group, Farmers State Bank, Hills Bank, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, and Friends of Red Cedar Chamber Music.</p><p><em>Special thanks to Artist Sponsors Juanita Dennert and ImOn Communications.</em></p>

<p>Stop by the Voxman Music Building for <strong>BAND 141</strong>, an exhibit featuring the Hawkeye Marching Band. Director Eric Bush donated a significant collection of materials from the Band’s history, including photographs, drill charts, papers, scrapbooks, uniform pieces, audio and video recordings, and other memorabilia to the Rita Benton Music Library in 2020. The exhibit draws from these donated materials, as well as several other collections held in University Archives such as the UI Yearbooks, Charles B. Righter Papers, Scottish Highlander Records, and the Daily Iowan archives. </p><p>The exhibit opened September 3. Start your visit on the first floor by the School of Music offices where you can explore the band’s history through its thirteen directors, core song list, innovative formations, and wide ranging uniforms. The exhibit continues on the second floor alongside the Recital Hall, highlighting the Band’s drum majors, alumni, the Golden Girl, and Scottish Highlanders. And lastly, keep your eye online for certain exhibit pieces either on the HMB’s social media feeds or the Music Library’s website. </p><p>Go Hawks!</p><p><strong>The exhibit is available to view for free during Voxman Music Building's open hours during the Fall 2021 semester: </strong></p><p>Monday - Thursday: 7:00 AM - 11:00 PM<br>Friday: 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM<br>Saturday - Sunday: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM</p><p><br></p><p><em>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events.
