ARTMATTERSNOW MORE THAN EVER

UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) is the public facing research and presenting organization for the performing arts at the University of California, Los Angeles—one of the world’s leading public research universities. We are housed within the UCLA School of the Arts & Architecture along with the Hammer and Fowler museums. The central pursuit of our work as an organization is to sustain the diversity of contemporary performing artists while celebrating their contributions to culture. We acknowledge, amplify and support artists through major presentations, commissions and creative development initiatives. Our programs offer audiences a direct connection to the ideas, perspectives and concerns of living artists. Through the lens of dance, theater, music, literary arts, digital media arts and collaborative disciplines, informed by diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, artists and audiences come together in our theaters and public spaces to explore new ways of seeing that expands our understanding of the world we live in now.

MESSAGE FROM THE CENTER

One of the driving features of CAP UCLA’s 2020-21 Season is The Tune In Festival; a convergence of music and poetry in the time of change. Tune In is a four-day convening of artists, bands, ensembles and soloists from across the U.S., Canada and Latin America performing together in a grand gesture of cross-cultural solidarity that shares the time-honored tradition of music and poetry as a wellspring of resilience, resistance and inspiration. Every generation and era that ushers forth the human need for major change has an anthem or verse that call people to stand up. The Tune In Festival is chock full of song lines and rhymes from some of our most revered voices who speak from the rousing perspective of activating truth. I knew we needed folk singers and poets in the fall of 2020—long before COVID-19, the despicable tragedy of George Floyd and so many others and the escalated tension that befalls us during a “normal” presidential election, let alone this one. I started talking with musicians and poets across genres and generations, with a mind towards re-booting The Tune In Festival I had brought with me to L.A. after presenting it at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. What is the music we want to hear from others’ struggles for human rights and justice? What are the poets of today speaking to? What do we want to remind one another of and inspire us as we look to the future? Not surprisingly, Kronos Quartet was thinking along the same lines and were developing a concert to celebrate the incredible life and music of Pete Seeger for the 100 year anniversary of his birth. “We Shall Overcome” is an anthem for the ages and across the ongoing struggles for civil rights that continue to be sought by successive generations. As Kronos planned their concert for CAP UCLA, I started working on building the festival around these shared aims. Tune In is the voice of right now speaking up and out for the unmet needs and rights of so many in the Black and brown communities in America since our founding. What these music-makers and poets address through their lives and experience are the anthems that say ENOUGH. Conjoined through successive generations of music, poetry and song, they inspire us all to push forward for the changes we have always known to be urgent. Tune In is also an incredible celebration of the voices of artists who can inspire us to rise up, tune in, resist, keep pushing and support one another as society’s other narratives try to push us in the opposite direction. This is the soundtrack of getting out the vote! This is the soundtrack of now! And it is going to be joyous!

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

DAN + CLAUDIA ZANES — Grammy Award-winning children’s performer Dan Zanes and Haitian American music therapist/jazz vocalist Claudia Zanes have been making music with each other since the day they met in the fall of 2016. Inspired by their artful modern-day all-ages folk music and their commitment to accessibility, the Kennedy Center commissioned Claudia and Dan to create a theater piece for young audiences. Night Train 57: A Sensory Friendly Comic Folk Opera premiered in October 2017 and has been performed numerous times since. Their songbook, Dan Zanes’ House Party: A Family Roots Music Treasury, released in late 2018, has inspired conversations with parents, educators, music therapists and fellow musicians about how to work together to create a healthier, more musical and (ultimately) more festive society. While taking on these projects, Claudia and Dan have continued to bring their music to family shows, school workshops, community singalongs and folk festivals throughout the U.S. and into Canada. They take their commitment to accessibility and inclusion with them wherever they go. danandclaudia.com

NANO STERN — Political, outspoken and passionate, Chilean singer/songwriter and activist Nano Stern has created his own musical language—an otherworldly sound that blends the youthful exuberance of folk music mixed with years of classical and jazz training against the powerful force of traditional Chilean revolutionary songs. What has emerged is a brilliantly layered confluence of indigenous African, European and North and South American musical influences that reverberate with a soulfulness and originality unlike any other South American artist performing today. nanostern.cl

GET LIT-WORDS IGNITE fuses classic and spoken word poetry to increase teen literacy, cultivating enthusiastic learners emboldened to inspire social consciousness in diverse communities. The Get Lit Players are an award-winning poetry troupe and the most watched poets on the internet. They have performed at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, opened for John Legend at the Hollywood Bowl and performed at the White House three times. Twenty-seven Get Lit Poets recently penned and starred in the feature film Summertime, directed by Carlos López Estrada, which premiered opening night at Sundance in 2020 and will be seen in theaters in the spring 2021. getlit.org

ASH GROVE ALUMNI — It has been over 47 years since Ed Pearl’s legendary Ash Grove club closed after its third fire. This legendary club brought roots music out west and poured it into the culture, forever changing our musical landscape. Countless musicians who performed there and future musicians who learned their craft watching the masters work are still paying this musical heritage forward. Wendy Waldman, a critically acclaimed recording artist and songwriter in nearly every musical genre, is also one of the first distinguished female record producers. Joe Chambers, fabled American singer and songwriter for The Chambers Brothers, co-wrote and sang the legendary “Time Has Come Today.” Together with multi-instrumentalist Steven Moos, the Ash Grove Alumni band looks back to our roots and tunes in. ashgrovemusic.net

CARLA CANALES — Conceived, produced and performed by Carla Canales, Hear Her Song is a musical celebration of distinguished female leaders from around the world, that commissions new songs inspired by their words from female composers and songwriters. By inviting female leaders, poets,

songwriters and performers to gather and share, Hear Her Song reveals the unlimited power of women’s voices from a variety of diverse experiences and backgrounds. Past participants and honorees include former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Chief Theresa Kachindamoto, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Activist Malala Yousafzai and composers Sheila Atim, Emily Estefan, Shaina Taub and Georgia Stitt. thecanalesproject.org

URBAN VOICES PROJECT’s outreach choir is comprised of performers from Los Angeles’ Skid Row neighborhood, many of whom have experienced or are experiencing the condition of homelessness. Throughout the year, they bring the healing power of music to audiences inside and outside of Skid Row, sharing their stories and successes of integrating music and community singing to combat the homelessness crisis. These performances in turn help shift the narrative and perception of homelessness in today’s society. The choir has been featured on numerous discussion panels, as well as performed at government inaugurations, galas and international community healthcare conferences. They have also enjoyed collaborations with celebrities including Dick Van Dyke, the Black Eyed Peas, Bootsy Collins and Joan Baez. As a non-profit organization, Urban Voices Project provides multiple music-oriented programs to underserved communities across Los Angeles County. Their work has found recognition on the front page of The Los Angeles Times, on NBC’s “Today Show” and “Dateline Special,” and was featured on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.” urbanvoicesproject.org

SUNNY WAR (born Sydney Lyndella Ward) is more than just an artist; she is a force of nature that is tough to pin down. What exactly is her style? Is she a blues or punk artist? The answer is yes and no. You can try to place Sunny in a few boxes, but doing so would be a major disservice to the young songstress. Yes, she may be a Robert Johnson with a shot of Bad Brains, but even this description falls short. The only way to really know Sunny is to immerse oneself in the music. Growing up in Los Angeles’ punk scene, Sunny was hopping trains from a tender age, riding free on the rails and living homeless on the streets. Her music has always been raw, and she refuses to shy away from a brutally open honesty about the rougher parts of her life. Now in her late twenties, with multiple international tours and critically acclaimed albums under her belt, Sunny War isn’t slowing down anytime soon. sunnywar.com

TOSHI REAGON & BIGLOVELY — Toshi Reagon is a one-woman celebration of all that’s dynamic, progressive and uplifting in American music. Since first taking to the stage at 17, the versatile singer/songwriter/guitarist has moved audiences with her big-hearted, hold-nothing-back approach to rock, blues, R&B, country, folk, spirituals and funk. The final live performance of CAP UCLA’s 2019-20 Season was Reagon’s highly acclaimed and sold-out musical theater interpretation of Octavia Butler’s prescient novel Parable Of The Sower. Reagon will be joined by her band, BIGLovely. toshireagon.com/biglovely

QUETZAL is an ensemble of L.A. musicians joined by the common goal of creating music that tells the social, cultural and political stories of people in struggle. Their music is rooted in the complex cultural currents of life in the barrio—its social activism and strong feminine stance as well as the East L.A. musical soundscape of musica ranchera, salsa, Chicano Rock, R&B and international pop music. The group emerged from a particularly contentious time that included the 1992 Los Angeles uprising and the 1994 Proposition 187 campaign to deny medical and public services to undocumented immigrants and public education to undocumented children. These events spurred a powerful energy in which music and public art became platforms from which to voice marginalized people’s desires, opinions and resistance to the conditions in which they found themselves. quetzaleastla.com

VIJAY GUPTA believes that the work of the artist and citizen is one: to make a daily practice of the connected, creative and courageous world we long to live in. Vijay is an esteemed violinist, speaker and thought-leader in engaging communities through the arts, serving to create spaces of belonging through music. Vijay’s labor of love lies in the creation and direction of Street Symphony, a musical community which serves to shift the context of conversations about homelessness, addiction and incarceration from retribution to transformation. Street Symphony serves to engage the Skid Row community of Los Angeles through musical encounters and intimate conversations, operating on the core that every person has a story to be told and heard. Vijay believes that an artistic and civic practice is a spiritual practice and is the creator of #creativesadhana on Instagram, where he shares his musical, literary, spiritual and artistic practice. He invites you to create your own sadhana, and to follow his journey at @guptaviolin. guptaviolin.com

LOS ANGELES POVERTY DEPARTMENT(LAPD), founded in 1985, is made up of people who make art and live and work in Skid Row. LAPD’s performances and multidisciplinary artworks connect the experience of people living in poverty to the social forces that shape their lives and communities. LAPD’s works express the realities, hopes, dreams and rights of people in L.A.’s Skid Row. LAPD’s Walk the Talk performance / parade celebrates visionary initiatives and people who have stood up for and generated transformation in Skid Row. Walk the Talk begins with a community nominating process. Honorees are interviewed by LAPD’ers and we distill the interviews into scenes we perform along the parade route. Artist-designed portraits of honorees are carried aloft and a brass band leads the parade. The interviews and performances become part of our Walk the Talk Archive and you are seeing small sampling of it tonight. Have more: app.reduct.video/lapd/walk-the-talk

KRONOS QUARTET — Since 1973, San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet—David Harrington (violin), John Sherba (violin), Hank Dutt (viola) and Sunny Yang (cello)—has combined a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually reimagine the string quartet experience. In the process, Kronos has become one of the world’s most celebrated and influential ensembles, performing thousands of concerts, releasing more than 60 recordings, collaborating with an eclectic mix of composers and performers, and commissioning over 1,000 works and arrangements for string quartet. The group has won over 40 awards, including two Grammys, the prestigious Polar Music and Avery Fisher Prizes and Edison Klassiek Oeuvreprijs. The nonprofit Kronos Performing Arts Association manages all aspects of Kronos’ work, including the commissioning of new works, concert tours and home season performances, education programs, and the annual Kronos Festival. In 2015, Kronos launched 50 for the Future: The Kronos Learning Repertoire, an education and legacy project that is commissioning—and distributing online for free—50 new works for string quartet composed by 25 women and 25
