THE EXPERIENCEIS EVERYTHING.

CLAReMonT TRIo: A VANgUARD lEgACY CONCERTsunDaY, OCTOBER 1 | 3 p.M.Sears Recital Hall, Jesse Philips Humanities CenterThe Claremont Trio has long been held in high regard by the original Vanguard Concert Series (1962–2016). At the series’ founding home — the Dayton Art Institute — the trio appeared seven times, including for the final Vanguard concert at the museum. Twin sisters Emily (violin) and Julia (cello) Briskin formed the trio in 1999 at the Juilliard, and always look forward to their Dayton appearances, this time with award-winning pianist Andrea Lam. Among their selections will be work by Fanny Mendelssohn and Ludwig Beethoven.

JoAn SoRIAno: THE DUKE OF bACHATATuesDaY, OCTOBER 10 | 7:30 p.M. Kennedy Union Boll TheatreHailing from the Dominican Republic, Joan Soriano fashioned his first guitar from a tin can and fishing line —and never looked back. First forming a band with some of his 14 siblings, Soriano now tours interna-tionally. The popularity of Soriano’s steel guitar-based music, known as bachata, draws upon a variety of influences from Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. Bachata (which initially meant simply “backyard party”) is a rich, danceable tradition; in Soriano’s hands, it becomes a sometime soulful, sometimes celebratory dive into the rhythms of his homeland.

TeLegRApH quARTeT: A VANgUARD lEgACY CONCERTsunDaY, NOVEMBER 19 | 3 p.M. Sears Recital Hall, Jesse Philips Humanities CenterDon’t miss this ensemble on its way up. Just four years old, this San Francisco string quartet has already garnered several major awards. With playing described as “stunning” and “joyous,” the Telegraph Quar-tet is earning a reputation as the quartet of the decade. With a recent New York début in Carnegie Hall and a European début in the Emilia Romagna Music Festival (Italy), this ensemble delves into music both new and traditional, bringing verve and insight to all their performances. Naumburg Chamber Music Competition Winners, 2016.

BRAd MeHLdAu TRIoWeDnesDaY, NOVEMBER 29 | 7:30 p.M. Sears Recital Hall, Jesse Philips Humanities CenterOne of the most lyrical and intimate voices of contemporary jazz piano, Brad Mehldau is a meticulous musician. From his critically acclaimed solo performances, to his longstanding work with his Trio, Mehldau’s luminous music seduces jazz purists and enthusiasts alike. He is joined in the Trio by Larry Grenadier (bass) and Jeff Ballard (drums): of their recordings, it’s been said that each one “… is a cause for celebration.” (All About Jazz). Just imagine what it means to hear that music live. Supported by the Cityfolk JazzNet Legacy Endowment.

“...a great voice . . . and charisma.”

—NPR

“Mehldau is the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years”

—The New York Times

The engagement of Joan Soriano is funded through Southern Exposure: Performing Arts of Latin America, a program of Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.

THursDaY, AUGUST 24 – FriDaY, SEPTEMBER 1 bROwN bAg RECEPTION: THursDaY, AUGUST 31 | noon

Graphic design professor Misty Thomas-Trout explores Dayton through cartographic analysis of community relationships. Geovisualizing these networks provides understanding to issues currently facing the Dayton community — such as food access and economic inequalities.

Julie Renée Jones, a Lecturer in photography, investigates memory: its ritualization, construction, and tenuous relationship with truth. The photo-graphic work she creates ranges from the very personal to the communal, exploring events that have a profound affect on our memories: from child-hood games, to family snapshots, and the weather.

Carolyn Kay Chema’s recent pen and ink illustrations explore the intricacies of sorority and intra-female relationships.

Ashley Jonas uses ceramic sculpture, found objects and painting devices to create both real and imagined spaces that uncover wonder and pecu-liarity embedded within the domestic space. Ashley Jonas is a lecturer specializing in Fine Arts Foundations.

When the international conference Feminisms and Rhetorics comes to the University of Dayton in October for its 11th biennial meeting, the Libraries will present a special exhibition of rare books from the private collection of Stuart and Mimi Rose and University of Dayton Libraries’ special collec-tions and archives. Taking a line from Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindica-tion of the Rights of Woman, the exhibit features hand-selected books, treatises, and artifacts associated with the conference theme —“Rhetorics, Rights, (R)evolutions” and the roles these works have played in human his-tory. Highlights include the University Libraries’ latest acquisition: a 1792 second American edition of Vindication as well as works by Marie Curie, Helen Keller, Abraham Lincoln, Phillis Wheatley and Virginia Woolf.

In the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries, emblems were an important visual vehicle to express some of the Virgin Mary’s virtues and privileges. An emblem consists of a visual representation and a Latin inscription. This exhibit explores how the art of emblems visualizes the person of Mary and showcases the artistic originality of this iconographic expression. It also expounds on the original meanings and messages of emblems.
