3. Performance: The Yargo Trio
Friday, August 25 at 6 PM
Ramsey Concert Hall
The Yargo Trio - Connie Frigo, associate professor of saxophone; Angela Jones-Reus, professor of flute; and Liza Stepanova, assistant professor of piano - will present a performance that heralds the release of their new album, "Voices, Reimagined," and reflects the unconventional nature of their collaboration.
While their newly released CD recording mainly focuses on the wind instruments as the equivalent of the human voice, the Aug. 25 concert will feature a completely new program, celebrating the vibrant music of France. It ranges from some of the best-known masterworks like Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faune" to shorter, lighter pieces, like Bizet's "Children's Games" to Poulenc's cabaret-style "Paths of Love."

9. a2ru National Conference
November 1-4
Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Registration now open
http://a2ruevents.wixsite.com/a2ruboston
The 2017 theme, "Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement," will use the city of Boston as a starting point for discussion and engagement surrounding creative placemaking. As a 21st century global city, Boston embodies many of the issues that drive diverse contemporary cultural contexts. It supports a rich and continually evolving sense of civic realms, and is home to leading arts, educational, medical, industrial, and corporate entities invested in innovative modes of research, practice, and civic participation. There is also clear recognition that the 'public sphere' is not confined to large metropolitan regions. Creating dynamic communities that engage and extend beyond traditional boundaries - in both virtual and material ways - remains a growing challenge and the work before us.
The a2ru Student Travel Grant Program is open to any undergraduate or graduate student currently attending a partner institution who would like to attend the annual a2ru conference. Grants of up to $250 will be awarded. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and only a limited number are available for each a2ru conference event.
