Palmer Museum Faculty Talk with Cathleen Cahill

Primarily known for her portraits of Blackfeet people commissioned by the Great Northern Railroad, like the painting Wife and Child of Bull Plume (Maggie Bull Plume) currently on exhibit at the Palmer Museum, Kathryn Woodman Leighton was also part of the vibrant Los Angeles art scene. She painted a number of Indigenous entertainers in LA colloquially know as "Hollywood Indians." These paintings, many held in private collections, are an overlooked part of her oeuvre. Professor of History and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Cathleen Cahill, will discuss how those portraits reveal a broader picture of Native American life in the early twentieth century as well as Leighton's connection to the art scene in the city. .

Guest Artist Lecture Recital: Allie Brault '24g, voice: The Beginner's Guide to Hebrew Art Song

Hebrew art song presents new, exciting opportunities for classical singers while also posing unique challenges for teachers unfamiliar with the language and musical traditions. This presentation, titled “The Beginner’s Guide to Hebrew Art Song,” offers teachers a practical, approachable introduction to Hebrew lyric diction, performance practices, and repertoire. The presentation begins with an examination of the Hebrew linguistic foundation: The alphabet, vowel system, root-based verbs, and transliteration. Hebrew is compared against typical sounds heard in commonly sung languages like Italian, French, and German to increase accessibility. Participants will also learn about Jewish music performance practices, particularly the modes, grace notes, and “krekhts.” Warm-up exercises will demonstrate ways teachers can prepare their students to sing in Hebrew, with particular emphasis on back vowels, guttural consonants, and the minor mode. Repertoire examples are by composers Max Helfman and Samuel Rosner. Audience… Organization: UP - Dept - A&A - MUSIC. Categories: Campus - University Park.
