Join members of the Rowan University Wind Ensemble as they stage a unique performance of American Ledger No. 1 by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Raven Chacon. This narrative score tells the creation story of the founding of the United States of America. Moments of contact, enactment of laws, events of violence, the building of cities, and erasure of land and worldview are mediated through graphic notation and realized by sustaining and percussive instruments, coins, axe and wood, a police whistle, and a match. Also on the program is “Grandmother Song” by Brent Michael Davids. All are welcome at 5:00pm in the new wing of the Student Center as musicians are staged throughout the atrium, stairs, and balcony.
