Ragged Blade Band Music Performance
<p>African-American Composers</p><p>Black composers were on the forefront of American popular music; ragtime itself was the combination of African syncopation over a European march beat and formed the basis for the development of blues and jazz. Growing up as the children of former slaves, many black composers and musicians had to navigate – and even perpetuate – racism in popular entertainment as they grew their careers.</p><p>We’ll look at composers such as Shelton Brooks and Scott Joplin, and also some leaders in their field such as W.C. Handy, “father of the blues,” and Ernest Hogan, “father of ragtime,” who was the first African-American to both produce and star in a Broadway show.</p><p>Cherry and Jerry's hour long program will feature ragtime, blues, jazz and Broadway. The duo presented “Hits of the Ragtime Era” at the Hiawatha Library earlier this year; let’s welcome them back this October!</p><p> </p><p>“Cherry & Jerry” is Isaac Cherry on percussion and Jerry Rabushka on piano; they focus mainly on music from 1900-1920: ragtime, early blues and jazz, and popular songs.</p><p>Based in St. Louis, Missouri, the duo is also part of the larger “Ragged Blade Band,” and has toured music of the ragtime era throughout Missouri and regionally, appearing at baseball games, steampunk events, pubs and restaurants, special events, and more. In 2021, their African-American Composers presentation reached around the world as part of Black History Month in both Australia and England. They recently presented a ragtime history program at the Missouri History Museum. A typical performance includes some well-known songs of the early 20<sup>th</sup> century as well breathing life back into some rarely played tunes. </p> 2022-06-29 14:00:00 -0500

Fresh Folk: Red Cedar Chamber Music
<p>Red Cedar Chamber Music’s directors and core ensemble, violinist Miera Kim and cellist Carey Bostian, present folk music from around the world in the first of a series of programs commissioning new settings of folk music. Red Cedar has always loved exploring different genres of music in their programming. With this in mind, they have begun an ongoing commissioning project. In May 2022, Red Cedar sent out a call for proposals for new settings of folk music for violin and cello. Over the next several years, new works will be commissioned representing cultures from around the world, with the goal of expanding the violin and cello duo repertory and eventually recording a compact disc. For this concert program, six proposals were accepted and six new works will be premiered. Travel with Red Cedar to Brazil, Finland, Scotland, Ukraine, the American West, the Czech Republic, and the Phillipines. In addition, visit the imaginary world of Fauxmania with the core ensemble.</p><p>Nineteen performances of this program will be presented between September 20 and October 23, 2022. This series of concerts is made possible by the Program Support and Linn County Funds of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, the McIntyre Foundation, the Grandon Foundation, the Giacoletto Foundation, AEGON Transamerica Foundation, the City of Marion, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support comes from CRST International, United Fire Group, Hills Bank, Farmers State Bank, GreatAmerica Financial Services, and Friends of Red Cedar Chamber Music.</p><p><em>Artist sponsorship is generously provided by Juanita Dennert.</em></p>
