Guest Concert: Marc-Frédéric Indorf, organ

Join us for a special concert featuring the Davis Concert Hall pipe organ! Opening the show, Sean Dowgray will join Marc-Frédéric Indorf to perform a piece for organ and percussion by the French organist, Thierry Escaich. Born in 1965 and recently named organist of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, Escaich is internationally recognised for his compositions and energetic improvisations. The selected piece, Ground II, is part of a series of pieces for various ensembles, all of which are based on the English musical tradition called a ground. A ground is a repeated motive that underlies the rest of the music, very much like the bass line in Pachelbel’s famous Canon in D. However, instead of emphatically repeating the motive, Escaich builds around it and hides it amongst various sounds, timbres and rythmes. Though very different in style and conception, the improvising nature of this piece segues smoothly into the musical improvisations prepared by Indorf to accompany the classic silent film from 1922: … Categories: Arts and entertainment calendar, Lectures and workshops calendar, College of Liberal Arts calendar, Featured, Music calendar.

Green-up in the Alaska Boreal Forest

Join UAF's Alaska Center for Climate Assessments and Policy for our 6th annual Green-up webinar. Spring in Alaska means important happenings in the boreal forest. Sap starts flowing in birch trees, leading to tapping and the creation of delicious treats. Green-up, when leaves burst forth from Alaska’s deciduous trees, has important implications for the seasonal ecology, society and even meteorology in the state. It is rapidly followed by pollen release, which is a health issue for many Alaskans. Fairbanks has a unique multi-decadal record of green-up dates that’s been used to develop a technique for forecasting green-up and related events in the Interior and more broadly in the boreal forest regions in Alaska. During this webinar, Rick Thoman will review the green-up forecasting tools and will provide a look-ahead at green-up for Spring 2025; Jan Dawe, from One Tree, will demonstrate citizen science-outreach tools for birch tappers and others; and, Susan Harry, from UAF, will review relevant pollen informatio… Categories: Lectures and workshops calendar, Public events calendar - Fairbanks, International Arctic Research Center calendar, Featured.
