SUMMARY:Día de Muertos: Free Community Events!
DESCRIPTION:Día de Muertos is coming back to the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History! This joyful Mexican celebration takes place among families to welcome their departed family members\, to celebrate life\, and to poke fun at death. \nThis year\, the Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program joins the Mariachi Academy of New England and the University of Saint Joseph to present two days of Día de Muertos/Day of the Dead activities and celebration!

We will also have a communal ofrenda where you can bring in or create a message or memento that will become part of the display. \nGet ready to learn about the depth of the tradition–activities for all ages will include decorating sugar cookie skulls\, learning how to compose satirical calaveras poetry\, and learning how to make papel picado (cut paper decorations). Performances will happen throughout the day by the many talented ensembles from the Mariachi Academy\, and a food truck will be on site so you can keep enjoying the event all day long! \nBoth events are FREE and open to the public! \nThese events are supported by the Greater Hartford Arts Council’s United Arts Campaign with major support from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving; the University of Saint Joseph; Ellen Brown; Berkshire Bank; the National Endowment for the Arts; and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \n**** \n¡El Día de Muertos viene!

Contact Lynne Williamson at Lynne_Williamson@chs.org or call 860-236-6521 ext. 235. \n \n  \n \nMore about the artists: \nA member of the beloved and renowned Puerto Rican folklore dynasty La Familia Cepeda from Santurce on the island\, legendary dancer Roberto has been carrying on the family’s bomba y plena traditions since he was five years old. As a Puerto Rican cultural leader\, he is dedicated to the teaching and preservation of African-based music from Cuba and Puerto Rico. Roberto leads the group Bomba Ashé and also sings\, dances\, and plays a variety of drums including the panderos of plena and the barriles of bomba. Based in the US since 1965 and in Connecticut since 2016\, Roberto offers master classes and workshops on drumming and dancing\, presents educational programs in schools\, and has performed as a soloist with leading Puerto Rican artists such as Los Pleneros de la 21 and Eddie Palmieri. Bomba Ashé includes Roberto’s wife Gloria Lopez\, an accomplished bomba dancer herself\, and many of the most experienced bomba y plena musicians in the Northeast.  \nThe Puerto Rican traditional dance form known as bomba developed on the sugar cane plantations throughout the coastal areas of the island\, arising as the musical expressions of enslaved Africans brought to work there from the 17th century. Connections with other colonized Africans and Caribbean groups from Haiti\, Cuba\, and Santo Domingo created a rich variety of percussion-driven rhythms in bomba\, along with songs and dances that told stories\, related histories and social values\, and sometimes conveyed messages of rebellion. Traditional instruments include barrel drums\, maracas\, and rhythm sticks. Songs and dances are extemporaneous and creative in conversation with the drum rhythms in call and response patterns. Bomba has been constant in the musical landscape of Puerto Rico among traditional communities\, accompanying community gatherings and festivals as well as public performances. \nPlena functions as a “sung newspaper” for the people who moved increasingly into cities on the island after the end of slavery. There they connected with local rural residents called jibaros\, as well as with Taino descendants\, creating a mix of cultural influences that is reflected in the sounds and narrative lyrics of plena. Instruments are primarily the three sizes of the pandereta\, a hand-held drum\, and the guiro\, a serrated gourd that is scraped to produce a soft background rhythm. Both bomba and plena have found new life\, great popularity\, and skilled practitioners in mainland Puerto Rican communities. Plena musicians can be identified by their white panama hats.

Contact Lynne Williamson at Lynne_Williamson@chs.org or call 860-236-6521 ext. 235. \n \n  \n \nMore about the artists: \nA member of the beloved and renowned Puerto Rican folklore dynasty La Familia Cepeda from Santurce on the island\, legendary dancer Roberto has been carrying on the family’s bomba y plena traditions since he was five years old. As a Puerto Rican cultural leader\, he is dedicated to the teaching and preservation of African-based music from Cuba and Puerto Rico. Roberto leads the group Bomba Ashé and also sings\, dances\, and plays a variety of drums including the panderos of plena and the barriles of bomba. Based in the US since 1965 and in Connecticut since 2016\, Roberto offers master classes and workshops on drumming and dancing\, presents educational programs in schools\, and has performed as a soloist with leading Puerto Rican artists such as Los Pleneros de la 21 and Eddie Palmieri. Bomba Ashé includes Roberto’s wife Gloria Lopez\, an accomplished bomba dancer herself\, and many of the most experienced bomba y plena musicians in the Northeast.  \nThe Puerto Rican traditional dance form known as bomba developed on the sugar cane plantations throughout the coastal areas of the island\, arising as the musical expressions of enslaved Africans brought to work there from the 17th century. Connections with other colonized Africans and Caribbean groups from Haiti\, Cuba\, and Santo Domingo created a rich variety of percussion-driven rhythms in bomba\, along with songs and dances that told stories\, related histories and social values\, and sometimes conveyed messages of rebellion. Traditional instruments include barrel drums\, maracas\, and rhythm sticks. Songs and dances are extemporaneous and creative in conversation with the drum rhythms in call and response patterns. Bomba has been constant in the musical landscape of Puerto Rico among traditional communities\, accompanying community gatherings and festivals as well as public performances. \nPlena functions as a “sung newspaper” for the people who moved increasingly into cities on the island after the end of slavery. There they connected with local rural residents called jibaros\, as well as with Taino descendants\, creating a mix of cultural influences that is reflected in the sounds and narrative lyrics of plena. Instruments are primarily the three sizes of the pandereta\, a hand-held drum\, and the guiro\, a serrated gourd that is scraped to produce a soft background rhythm. Both bomba and plena have found new life\, great popularity\, and skilled practitioners in mainland Puerto Rican communities. Plena musicians can be identified by their white panama hats.

SUMMARY:Outdoor Concert Series: Rancho Folclórico do Clube Português de Hartford
DESCRIPTION:Rancho Folclórico do Clube Português de Hartford\, founded in 1972\, is the oldest continuously performing Portuguese dance group in New England. Based at the Portuguese Club in Newington\, over fifty members of the Rancho ranging in age from 5 to over 60 come from families of dancers and musicians who have been with the group for decades. Their repertoire of Portuguese songs – and the hand-made costumes – come from all the cultural regions of Portugal including the Azores\, reflecting the make-up of the Hartford community.  \nThe concert will take place on the beautiful CMCH lawns at 1 Elizabeth St.\, Hartford. Grounds are open for seating and picnicking from 5 PM\, and the music begins at 6 PM. All of the CMCH outdoor concerts are free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and food.  \nThis concert is the second in the 2018 season of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s outdoor concert series on summer third Thursdays with generous support from the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee\, and the National Endowment for the Arts and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD.  \nMore About The Artists: \nRancho Folclórico is committed to authenticity in its performances\, presenting the songs\, dances\, and costumes as they exist today in Portugal. Northern dance formations start with male-female pairs dancing in circular rotation or in columns with the partners across from each other. Dancing with the arms raised\, often holding castanets\, is a distinguishing feature of Portuguese dance. The Rancho’s repertoire includes the vira from the northern coastal province of Minho. Dance movements – vira means “to turn” – reflect the activities and occupations of the area. So the vira refers to movements arising from the fishing activities of Minho\, while the chula and malhao from Tras-os-Montes suggest threshing\, husking and preparing grain in that farming province.  \nAccompanying the dancers\, the Rancho’s musicians play accordions\, violao (guitar)\, cavaquinho (the early form of ukelele)\, mandolin\, hand-held frame drum\, triangle (1)\, and reco reco (a long piece of serrated wood scraped with a stick). In the music of Ribatejo\, a split bamboo stick called caninha (“little cane”) keeps the beat instead of drums. Male and female vocalists sing festive songs\, often about wine\, romance\, and rural life.  \nConnecticut residents of Portuguese descent number close to 100\,000. There is a Portuguese Consulate in Waterbury\, signaling the importance of this ethnic group’s presence throughout the state. Large Portuguese communities settled in coastal towns to pursue fishing occupations; many of these immigrants came from the Azores. Factories in inland cities such as Waterbury and Hartford attracted immigrants from rural areas of Portugal who sought work wherever they could find it. The population of entire towns in the northern farming and seafaring provinces of Minho\, Tras-os-Montes\, and the Beiras came to settle here\, so the Rancho’s songs\, dances\, and costumes reflect these specific regional origins. More recently settlers have come from Ribatejo\, bringing different music and dance. In their home areas of northern and central Portugal\, many of these farmers and laborers were singers and dancers in the regular festivals\, church celebrations\, and special events which were always marked with music and dance. In America too the connections to village and traditional practices remain fresh and solid despite the community’s successful integration. \nThe Portuguese Club in Newington\, the Holy Ghost Society in East Hartford\, and Our Lady of Fatima Church in Hartford celebrate a regular series of religious and secular festivals including St Martin’s Day in November (commemorating the crop of chestnuts)\, Festa Divino de Spirito Santo in May\, the Rancho’s anniversary in October\, the Day of Portugal in June\, and the Festival of Folklore in March featuring Ranchos from the US and Canada. \n

SUMMARY:Outdoor Concert Series: An Evening of Irish Music and Dance
DESCRIPTION:Sharing the stage for the first time\, four Irish music masters based in New England will showcase fiddle music\, step dancing\, and old-style singing. Performing both individually and collaboratively\, artists include: Traditional dancer Kevin Doyle\, designated as a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts; Bridget Fitzgerald\, performer of the Irish traditional style of unaccompanied singing known as sean nos (Old style); fiddle player Dan Foster who will play tunes from his extensive repertoire and provide accompaniment for Kevin’s dancing; and Mary Lee Partington\, a singer/songwriter inspired by local traditions and stories who is an apprentice to Bridget\, learning sean nos songs. \nThese brilliant artists share a deep love for Irish heritage as expressed through music and dance. Committed to passing on their knowledge to up-and-coming practitioners who will carry the traditions forward\, all have participated in the CMCH-based Southern New England Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. \nThe concert will take place on the beautiful CMCH lawns at 1 Elizabeth St.\, Hartford. Grounds are open for seating and picnicking from 5 PM\, and the music begins at 6 PM. All of the CMCH outdoor concerts are free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and food. \nThis concert opens the third season of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s outdoor concert series on summer third Thursdays with generous support from the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee; and the national Endowment for the Arts and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \nThe concert is part of Make Music Day\, a global celebration of live\, free music in over 800 places including ten Connecticut cities.

SUMMARY:Concert: Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a FREE concert by the Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra. HICO will be performing the following pieces: \nOn Regression\, Accumulation\, and the Persistence of Ghosts – Lewis Nielson (b. 1950)\nWorld Premiere – Matt Sargent (b. 1984)\nWhat we talk about when we talk in 140 characters – Ryan Jesperson (b. 1981)\nWafting Mists – Daniel Morel (b. 1981) \nAnd here’s a bit more about HICO: \nComprised of a roster of premier Hartford-based musicians\, the Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra is devoted to enrichment through superb artistry. HICO forges its independent path through the canon of musical literature\, championing non-standard repertoire for chamber orchestra and large chamber ensembles\, engaging audiences across Greater Hartford and beyond with provocative and innovative programming. \nNow entering its ninth concert season\, HICO has appeared as a guest ensemble at the Women Composers Festival of Hartford\, Central Connecticut State University\, and The Hartt School of the University of Hartford\, among others. Their 2016-2017 concert season will include a residency with the Hartt School Young Composers Project\, Eastern Connecticut State University\, two Mainstage Concerts\, and chamber music concerts throughout the Greater Hartford area. \nWith numerous world premieres to their name\, HICO has introduced some of today’s leading young composers and concert soloists to the music scene. In April 2013\, the ensemble presented five world premieres on one concert program from four of the East Coast’s up and coming young composers.
