Christ Church Detroit’s “Can’t Miss” Music Events

Detroit's historic Christ Church Detroit (CCD) will play host to two premier music events in the coming weeks. The first is an intimate staging of Francis Poulenc’s opera, Dialogues

of the Carmelites, performed by Opera MODO. Set in Paris at the time of the French Revolution, this dramatic tale of faith in the face of fear is a modern classic. Christ Church also provides both office & rehearsal space to Opera

MODO. CCD Music Director Dr. Edward Maki-Schramm describes invit-ing Opera MODO to share space as an easy decision. “How many other churches do you know that have a funded, functioning opera company within their walls?” Opera MODO performs Francis Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites

at Christ Church Detroit on Friday, February 21st and Saturday, Febru-ary 22nd. Both performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at $20-$40-$60, are available at OperaMODO.com/upcoming.As part of their 175th Anniversary Celebration, Christ Church will also

present award-winning British vocal ensemble Apollo5 in concert on Sunday, March 1st, at 4 p.m. Apollo5's repertoire ranges from renaissance, classical and contempo-

rary choral music to folk, jazz and pop. Additionally, Apollo5 is part of the Voces8 Foundation, the vocal music education charity that brings the power of singing to communities around the world. As part of this stop on their tour, they will be visiting several Detroit public schools, to encourage young people to keep singing. Tickets for Apollo5 at $25-$35 are available at christcd.org/apollo5.For more information call (313) 259-6688 or see christcd.org. Christ

Church Detroit is located at 960 E. Jefferson, in Downtown Detroit.


The Budapest Festival Or-chestra will be perform-ing an all-Dvořák program at the Hill Auditorium this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. The conductor is Ivan

Fischer and the violin solo-ist is Renaud Capucon. In addition to Dvořák’s 8th Symphony and his Violin Concerto, the program also includes his Legends, Four Choruses, and a Slavonic Dance. A most colorful se-lection, indeed. I consider Dvořák’s 8th to be the most refined of his 9 symphonies, but that’s just my personal opinion. For more information,

check UMS.org, or call (734) 764-2538. The DSO is presenting

cellist Alisa Weilerstein (pictured) this weekend together with conductor John Storgards. Weilerstein will be performing in Bar-ber’s Cello Concerto. The program begins with Mid-night Sun Variations – a new piece by Outi Tarkiainen (b.1985). The second half of the program will feature

Beethoven’s Pastoral Sym-phony (No. 6). The DSO is performing this program on Friday, 8 p.m., Saturday, 8 p.m., and Sunday, 3 p.m. For further information, check dso.org. Tuesday Musicale's Artists-

of-the-Year concert is com-ing up on Saturday, Febru-ary 22. The concert will take place at St. James Church, 46325 West Ten Mile Road, in Novi. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will feature the Heaton-Pierce-Martin Trio. Eliot Heaton is the concertmaster of the Michigan Opera Theatre or-chestra; Nathaniel Pierce is an outstanding young cel-list (and tenor!).Pauline Martin, the pia-

nist, is a very active pia-nist involved with several chamber series in our area, who has been mentioned here many times in the past. On this program, violinist

Eliot Heaton, and pianist Pauline Martin, will per-form a scintillating piece by composer Mario Castelnuo-vo-Tedesco, Variations on Fi-

garo from Rossini’s Barber of Seville.Born into a Jewish family

in Florence, Italy, Casteln-uovo-Tedesco emigrated to the United States in 1939 to escape fascism and made his living as a composer of movie scores — about 200 of them — many un-credited. He was a lifelong friend of the great guitarist Andres Segovia, and, with the latter’s encouragement, wrote a guitar concerto that has become a staple of the guitar repertoire. The Figaro variations to be per-formed at the concert are transcriptions for violin by Jascha Heifetz.On Sunday, February 23,

at 2 p.m., Louis Nagel will be performing at Kerry-town Concert House in Ann Arbor. The first half of the program will feature short, familiar works. The second half will include a major work. Sorry, there are no further details in the an-nouncement, so I am curi-ous too. However, I have personally

attended many of Nagel’s performances at Kerry-town Concert House. They are always intellectually stimulating, highly educa-tional, and feature music that excels in its dynamic and technical musicality. I highly recommend his pro-grams. Tickets are $10-$40. For more information, visit kerrytownconcerthouse.com or call (734) 769-2999 weekdays between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. We were treated last Sat-

urday to a rare combination of good music and excellent, breathtaking professional dancing by the Malandain

Ballet Biarritz at the Opera House.While those who missed

it will not have another op-portunity this season to observe this company here, there are two more attrac-tive ballet features sched-uled this season. Those consist of the Dance Theatre of Harlem, scheduled for March 15-16, and the Ameri-can Ballet Theatre perform-ing Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, scheduled for April 16-19. This fills me with the scent of Spring already, and hopefully we won’t have to endure major snowstorms between now and then.

RISK OF SELF-TREATMENTQUESTION: I have a small corn

on my littlest toe. I would like to get rid of it but don’t know which of the many over-the-counter products to try. Which would you recommend?

ANSWER: You want to get rid of a small problem, you take the risk of turning it into something worse. Self-treatment increases the chances of this happening. C o m m e r c i a l p r o d u c t s m a y c o n t a i n a g g r a v a t i n g ingredients. Caustic chemicals d i s solve t h i c ke n e d sk i n b u t also normal skin. Besides the corn or blemish will only grow

back unless steps are taken to correct this.

Treatment should be rendered by a podiatrist who will first e v a l u a t e y o u r c i r c u l a t o r y a n d g e n e r a l h e a l t h b e f o r e taking any measures. He will also advise on ways to avoid recurrence of the problem.

Hateful Things Exhibit at Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum

Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum at Saginaw Valley State University will host the traveling exhibition Hateful Things on display now, through Sat-urday, Feb. 29. The exhibit, from the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia, curated and

collected at Ferris State by renowned African American historian, Dr. David Pilgrim, is comprised of 39 items of insensitive cultural material from the late 1800's to the present that embody the effects of the Jim Crow legacy.In addition to items from popular and commercial culture, the traveling ex-

hibition also contains images of violence against African Americans as well as the Civil Rights struggle for racial equality.The objects in Hateful Things now serve as serious reminders of America's ra-

cially insensitive past. From Aunt Jemima ads to a number of other stereotypi-cal portrayals, American popular culture has been strewn with racist images. The Hateful Things traveling exhibition is part of the Jim Crow Museum's mis-

sion to promote better understanding of racial sensitivities.The museum also has a schedule of programs free for visitors, including a

free Create & Take Saturday: Adinkra African Symbols Workshop from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., on Saturday, Feb. 22, where visitors can learn about these African sym-bols while making their own versions in a variety of methods.

F a d e r o f t h e F r o s t B a r k A Review by Paul Arlon

Harrison Ford is just shy of 78 years old. And, there's just no hiding it anymore.After 2017's reboot of

Philip K. Dick's futuris-tic landmark, called Blade Runner 2049, I was con-vinced that Ford's action-adventure roles were over.That's the movie that had

a 75 year old Ford bare-knuckle brawling with a 27 year old Ryan Gosling while being semi-submerged in arctic water. Ridiculous...I wasn't buying his char-

acter's physical prowess then, and, I'm afraid I'm not really buying it now, in the newly redone The Call of the Wild. In it, Ford is a grizzled and

morose loner who has run away from his sad life out East to drunkenly mope

in the wilds of the gold-rushed Canadian Yukon. Yeah, sure...But, that's my take on

Harrison Ford. Some stars know when to slink off into the sunset, but it doesn't appear that Ford knows when to fold 'em. He's may-be not ready for the porch rocking chair, but, I don't find him watchable as a master survivalist, eitherBut the real star of this

remake of the Jack Lon-don classic is an amazingly well-rendered CGI dog. Most grade schoolers have

leafed through the London novel — it's the recounting of how a spoiled and dopey galoot of a California house pet is dognapped and then sold into the harsh labor of dog sledding teams in the

mad flurry of the 1890's Klondike gold fever.With many hundreds of

animation artists working on every wag of his tail and crinkle of his snout, Buck, the tame and lovable lout, eventually devolves to his wolf-like origins.No kidding, this is the best

CGI that I've seen onscreen since last year's Alita: Bat-tle Angel. Directed by Chris Sand-

ers, and written by Michael Green, the technical work on this movie is simply fan-tastic. Astounding, really.But, even with all of its

techie upgrades, it's still a half-hour too long. There's only so much time I can de-vote to a story about a dog finding his inner spirit. I'm just not that inspired

by a doggie overcoming his travails.


BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Laydell Harper

One the most notable ex-amples to highlight the suc-cess of Black History Month and its positive impact on the community is The De-troit Symphony Orchestra’s Annual Classical Roots con-certs that have continued to draw record crowds since its beginning in 1978.This year is no exception,

the 2020 DSO Classical Roots concerts will be held on Friday, March 6 and Sat-urday March 7 at Orchestra Hall to a sold-out crowd.The Detroit Symphony Or-

chestra (DSO) will honor celebrated pianist André Watts (pictured) and long-time orchestra supporter and cultural leader Chaco-na W. Baugh at the annual Arthur L. Johnson-Honor-able Damon Jerome Keith Classical Roots.For 42 years, the DSO’s

Classical Roots concerts have presented African American composers and musicians, acknowledging legendary artists who have made a significant contri-bution to African American Music. The Celebration has hon-

ored composers, musicians, educators, and leaders for lifetime achievement since 2001, and raised funds to support the DSO’s African American music and mu-sician development pro-grams. In 2019 the annual Clas-

sical Roots event was re-named the Annual Arthur L. Johnson and Honorable Damon Jerome Keith Clas-sical Roots. Judge Keith regularly at-

tended the event and was in the audience when the renaming was announced.He loved the event and

lived long enough to accept the naming honor. The Honorable Damon J.

Keith passed away in April 2019. Classical Roots was cre-

ated by a group of Detroit artists and cultural lead-ers, including Ms. Baugh and her late husband Ar-thur Johnson. The Brazeal Dennard Cho-

rale has performed at ev-ery Classical Roots concert since the program’s incep-tion. Music is at the heart of

African American culture and it’s a perfect partner-ship that the DSO Classical Roots concerts are such a huge success in the African American Community. According to the most

recent studies more than two-thirds (69%) of Afri-can American people liv-ing in the US say that music helps them feel connected to others. The two Classical Roots

concerts in Orchestra Hall (on Friday, March 6 at 10:45 a.m. and Saturday, March 7 at 8 p.m.) will be con-ducted by Thomas Wilkins and feature the DSO, the Brazeal Dennard Chorale, and Mr. Watts. The program includes

the world premiere of composer Nkeiru Okoye’s Black Bottom, a new work inspired by the historic African American Detroit neighborhood of the same name. Sumayya Ali (sopra-no), Charlotte Small-Chest-nut (mezzo-soprano), Ber-nard Holcomb (tenor), and Markel Reed (baritone) are featured soloists in this new work. Black Bottom is commis-

sioned by the Detroit Sym-phony Orchestra with a grant from The Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation.Special thanks are in or-

der to the late Carter G. Woodson known as the Fa-

ther of Black History. Wood-son opened the door to a wealth of black history. His persistence was the key to learning more about Afri-can American culture.The second African Amer-

ican to graduate from Har-vard after W.E.B. Du Bois, he dedicated his career to the field of African Ameri-can history and continued to petition extensively for Black History Month as a nationwide institution. We have learned so much

about the African Ameri-can legacy because of

Woodson’s Black History Month. Everywhere you look dur-

ing Black History Month there’s new informa-tion about black culture that would not have been shared had it not been for Carter G. Woodson. In conjunction with the

concerts, is the black-tie Classical Roots Celebration that will take place on Sat-urday, March 7. The Celebration was

named for Arthur L. John-son and Damon Jerome Keith in 2019 thanks to

generous support from Dr. William Pickard, one of last year’s Honorees. The lavish pre-concert

dinner in the Peter D. and Julie F. Cummings Cube (The Cube) and a post-concert dessert and danc-ing afterglow has received nothing but accolades. The Celebration is a fund-

raiser to support the Clas-sical Roots mission and is organized by a dedicated steering committee, co-chaired this year by H. Keith Mobley and Jasmin DeForrest. Visit dso.org/classicalroots for more in-formation on the Celebra-tion. The Classical Roots mis-

sion extends far beyond the concert hall. This year, several ad-

ditional initiatives and events will share the DSO’s celebration of African American music and lead-ership throughout the De-troit community: Schools, churches, community meet-ings and more.Classical Roots began as

a concert at Detroit’s his-toric Bethel A.M.E. Church in 1978, featuring the DSO and the Brazeal Dennard Chorale. Tickets start at $15 for

the two Classical Roots concerts in Orchestra Hall and can be purchased at dso.org, by calling (313) 576-5111, or in person at the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center locat-ed at 3711 Woodward Ave-nue, in Downtown Detroit. For group ticket informa-

tion (groups of 10 or more), please contact Group Sales Manager Jim Sabatella at (313) 576-5130 or email him at [email protected]. To purchase gala tickets

for the black-tie Classical Roots Celebration, those interested can call Jenni Clark at (313) 576-5449.Learn more about Cel-

New Polar Bear at the Zoo

AROUND THE CIT Y

underwater marine environ-ment.

For hours, prices, directions and other information, call (248) 541-5717 or visit on-line at detroitzoo.org.

The Detroit Zoological Soci-ety is located at the intersec-tion of I-696 and Woodward Ave., in Royal Oak.

The Detroit Zoo is inviting visitors to welcome 19-year-old Anana on Thursday, Feb. 27 for International Polar Bear Day.

The female polar bear, who arrived from the Cincinnati Zoo in late January, joins 15-year-old male Nuka and 7-year-old female Suka in the Arctic Ring of Life — one of North America’s largest po-lar bear habitats.

International Polar Bear Day on Thursday, February 27, will highlight the con-servation concerns facing this iconic species, and will include zookeeper talks and educational activities from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The polar bears will receive special treats in their habitat at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Animal care staff will share information about the personalities and be-haviors of polar bears Nuka, Suka and Anana immediately following each feeding.

Education stations will in-clude handheld microscopes that will provide an up-close look at the fur of a polar bear to show that it’s not actually white but rather translucent and hollow — the sun’s re-f lection off the bear’s dark skin gives the illusion of a white coat.

Blubber gloves will demon-strate how blubber serves as insulation for these ma-rine mammals, keeping them warm despite their icy cli-mate. Children will also have the opportunity to compare themselves to a life-size po-lar bear cut-out in the Nuna-vut Gallery.

The Arctic Ring of Life en-compasses more than 4 acres of outdoor and indoor spaces. The most unique feature is the spectacular 70-foot-long Frederick and Barbara Erb Polar Passage, a clear tun-nel that winds through a vast
