This story of personal and collective histories will be told through a collage of original music\, visual art and spoken word. The evening-length suite will be performed by an ensemble that includes violin\, banjo\, west African kora and Western String quartet. \nWith musical boundaries lessening\, artists are ever-more challenged to define our own identities and voices. With this work I am challenging myself to not only disrupt musical classifications and hierarchies\, but also to examine what it means for me to be an African-American woman.\nFor this new piece\, Monroe has worked with visual artist and scholar Curlee Raven Holton\, drawing inspiration from his paintings and prints\, using that inspiration to reflect on her life journey and to write music fueled by her experience as an African-American woman—Monroe employs a quintessentially Western instrument to collapse boundaries between musical styles that often occupy distinct silos. Holton’s artwork will be incorporated into the scenic design for the premiere performances at Cliveden. \nMonroe’s other collaborators on the project include renowned string quartet PubliQuartet\, internationally recognized master of West African kora and storytelling Yacouba Sissoko\, and Ayodele Maakheru\, who has played banjo\, guitar\, and multiple other stringed instruments on Broadway and across the world for over three decades. A rhythm section composed of bassist Lee Smith\, hand percussionist Leonard “Doc” Gibbs and drummer Harry “Butch” Reed completes the eclectic ensemble. \nPerformances will run 85 minutes with a 15-minute intermission. \nViolin Woman\, African Dreams has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiane Monroe \n\nDiane Monroe is a violinist whose versatility and expressive artistry consistently brings audiences to their feet. Her visibility as a jazz artist began with her long-standing membership as first violinist of the Uptown String Quartet and the Max Roach Double Quartet. These critically acclaimed groups have appeared on The Cosby Show\, CBS News Sunday Morning and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. Monroe is more\, however\, than simply a fine performer. Her original compositions and arrangements have been highlighted on TV shows and in performances with the two ensembles at major concert halls and festivals throughout the world. Monroe has also been leading her own ensembles for more than 15 years. The Diane Monroe Quartet appeared at the Kennedy Center’s Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival and continues to play at venues across the country. \nMonroe is a Philadelphia native and graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and University of the Arts. She has taught at Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, Swarthmore College\, Lehigh University and Temple University. In 2002\, she received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Monroe is a 2018 recipient of both a Fellowship and a Project grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. \n\n\n\n\nNovember 22-24\nPerformances at 8:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays\,\n\n3:00pm on Sundays \nWhere?

Born to Nigerian immigrants\, the singer/songwriter’s music\, voice\, and writing have drawn comparisons to female musicians such as Nina Simone\, Laura Nyro\, and Regina Spektor. But her percussive piano-playing and soaring vocals give homage to her African upbringing. \nLeaving her career as a publicist in 2008\, Joy has spent the last 11 years playing thousands of shows across the country. A write-up on NPR’s All Things Considered says “The depth of subjects she tackles in her poetic lyrics are perfectly complemented by a unique blend of neo-soul\, with just the right dash of pop…a truly compelling act to watch in person\, with the ability to create an intimate setting in locations big and small.” \nWATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm_Q1aODPWk\nSOCIAL MEDIA:\nInstagram: @joyikemusic\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joyikemusic/\nTwitter: @joyike\nWebsite: www.joyike.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaul Broudy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaul Broudy \nPhiladelphian Saul Broudy has been performing for almost 50 years all over North America\, and in Europe\, Australia\, New Zealand\, and the Mid-East. He accompanies his singing on guitar\, but is perhaps best-known as a harmonica player\, having worked and recorded with such artists as Steve Goodman\, Loudon Wainwright\, Jim Ringer\, Utah Phillips\, Mick Moloney\, Jim Dragoni\, and numerous others(he’s recorded on over 25 albums).

But our future president wasn’t alone. While millions of Americans suffered financial loss\, tycoons pounced to heartlessly seize thousands of homes—their profiteering made even easier because\, as prize-winning investigative reporter Aaron Glantz reveals in Homewreckers\, they often used taxpayer money—and the Obama administration’s promise to cover their losses. \nIn Homewreckers\, Glantz recounts the transformation of straightforward lending into a morass of slivered and combined mortgage “products” that could be bought and sold\, accompanied by a shift in priorities and a loosening of regulations and laws that made it good business to lend money to those who wouldn’t be able to repay. Among the men who laughed their way to the bank: Trump cabinet members Steve Mnuchin and Wilbur Ross\, Trump pal and confidant Tom Barrack\, and billionaire Republican cash cow Steve Schwarzman. Homewreckers also brilliantly weaves together the stories of those most ravaged by the housing crisis. The result is an eye-opening expose of the greed that decimated millions and enriched a gluttonous few.

The same racist structures and individuals remained intact after redlining’s end\, and close relationships between regulators and the industry created incentives to ignore improprieties. Meanwhile\, new policies meant to encourage low-income homeownership created new methods to exploit Black homeowners. The federal government guaranteed urban mortgages in an attempt to overcome resistance to lending to Black buyers – as if unprofitability\, rather than racism\, was the cause of housing segregation. Bankers\, investors\, and real estate agents took advantage of the perverse incentives\, targeting the Black women most likely to fail to keep up their home payments and slip into foreclosure\, multiplying their profits. As a result\, by the end of the 1970s\, the nation’s first programs to encourage Black homeownership ended with tens of thousands of foreclosures in Black communities across the country. The push to uplift Black homeownership had descended into a goldmine for realtors and mortgage lenders\, and a ready-made cudgel for the champions of deregulation to wield against government intervention of any kind.

The idea was one not of total re-invention or boundary-smashing\, but rather of taking one’s creative vocabulary and stretching it to include as much style and range as possible\, incorporating uncommon influences while remaining true to one’s musical roots. \nPhilly duo Trap Rabbit could easily qualify as stretch music… though they might prefer their own category of “weirdo beat rock.” Indeed\, Arjun Dube’s complex drumbeats are prominently present in the band’s work\, propping up and goading on Logan Roth’s expressionistic keyboard playing. It’s rooted in freewheeling jazz improvisation\, but also lively hip-hop energy; sleek and suave disco grooves\, and also laid-back funk. In the spirit of Medeski\, Martin and Wood and Badbadnotgood\, Trap Rabbit delivers raw and explosive instrumentals that hit a spectrum of stylistic touch points… “ — John Vettese\, WXPN’s The Key \nIn their 3 years as a band\, Trap Rabbit has garnered a fervent local following and continues to branch out with continued touring dates. Some of the group’s higher profile shows include openings slots for luminaries such as Taylor McFerrin\, Mark Guiliana\, and DJ Logic. In addition to creating original content\, the duo regularly works as producers and session musicians with artists throughout the east coast. Their newest 2019 release\, “Songs About Worms\,” was produced at Hour Glass Recordings in Philadelphia\, and is available now on CD and all streaming platforms. \n———————————— \nwebsite: www.traprabbit.com\ninstagram: @traprabbitmusic\nfb: https://www.facebook.com/traprabbitmusic \n_________________________________________________ \nAdriana Samargia and Robert Prester \nAdriana Samargia is an American singer best known for her ageless sound\, instrumental approach and vocally acrobatic treatment of jazz and Brazilian standards\, sacred works and Great American Songbook classics.
