Breaking the classical-music mold There’s a noticeable change in the buzz around socalled “New Music” these days, from the halls of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music to the concert stage of Le Poisson Rouge in New York City. A genre of classical music that has been unfolding for decades has seemingly overnight come into its own.

“I’m curious to see which other barriers we can find and also go at,” says Matt Evans, a graduate student at Eastman and a percussionist-composer with OSSIA, Eastman’s student-run New Music ensemble. “There are other barriers out there that we will find, and that

will be the next project: how can we get rid of this barrier and that barrier…”

Through three concerts taking place locally in the next month, Rochesterians will have an opportunity to experience the modern tableau of New Music in performances from Kilbourn Hall to Water Street Music Hall, from current Eastman students to established Eastman grads. These upcoming concerts will prove the insiders’ argument in a rather public way: the Eastman School of Music is where New Music is happening.

The storm clouds build over health care – and us Last week, as the Supreme Court seemed to be ready to overturn the federal health-care act, some liberal journalists thought they’d found a silver lining. Now, they said, we can get a single-payer, universal health care system.

But there’s not a bat’s chance that’ll happen. Harsh right-wingers have taken control of the Republican Party, and even among Democrats in Congress, there’s never been enough support to pass single-payer.

Some Democrats predict that if the court strikes down the Affordable Care Act, it will become a successful talking point for Obama and the Democratic candidates for the Senate and the House. Well, fine.

It’s about time Democrats explained the importance – and the legitimacy – of this modest reform.

As President Obama said recently, the health-care act was passed by a majority of the members of Congress – people who were elected by the American voters.

Obama himself was elected by the majority of voters. The Republican reaction: vitriol, lies, and a continued dash to the right.

Republicans’ hostility toward the healthcare act, in fact, is an indication of how far rightward they’ve swung. We have this plan because Obama and Congressional Democrats judged that they couldn’t pass a stronger one. Affordable Care was a compromise. Significantly, it was an idea born in a conservative think tank. And it has been supported by Republicans in the past.

If the law is thrown out, we’ll take a step backwards in access to health care, but sadly, this is entirely consistent with the current Republican philosophy. (See the Ryan budget plan, which would cut taxes for the wealthy and slash programs for the poor.)

This is not how Republicans used to behave. Republican leaders of the past approved tax increases to deal with deficits, created a federal highway program and the student-loan program, pushed for financial aid for inner cities, and warned against the growing influence of defense-related industries.

The change didn’t start when Barack Obama took office. As Jamelle Bouie noted in his Nation blog last week, it has been building since early in Bill Clinton’s first term. The repeated attempts to undercut Clinton, followed by Bush v. Gore, gave us a taste of what we’re seeing today.

announcing that his Number 1 goal was to see that Obama did not win a second term: These have not been people simply disagreeing about policy. They have been people who do not respect and, as Bouie wrote, do not accept “the legitimacy of liberal lawmakers or ideas.”

Want something else to worry about?

Maybe a Supreme Court ruling against the Affordable Care Act will energize Obama supporters. Maybe in November, the Democrats will hang onto the presidency and the Senate. Maybe they’ll retake the House.

But the Supreme Court will still be the Supreme Court. The court’s conservative majority will still be the conservative majority. And increasingly those conservatives seem heavily influenced by ideology and politics. Bush v. Gore wasn’t an aberration.

In two recent blogs for the New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin suggested that far more is at stake in this Supreme Court case than the Affordable Care Act. Also on the line, he wrote, “is the principle that Congress has the right to engage in activist government – to take bold steps to address national problems.”

The Obama administration and the Congress that passed the Affordable Care Act relied on the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, which is what Congress has used “for virtually all economic regulation since the New Deal,” Toobin wrote.

“Medicare, Medicaid, not to mention the minimum wage — all have been passed, without constitutional controversy, under the authority of the Commerce Clause,” Toobin wrote.

“A negative ruling on the ACA,” said Toobin, “will not just cripple this one law, but impair the national government for a generation.”

Feminists’ goals

Proudly presenting the NEWEST product on the market...

Electronic Lenses

A March 21 letter writer laments that feminism ain’t what it used to be. (“A Caricature of Feminism,” Feedback). All feminists can think about today, he claims, is getting free birth control which, you may have noticed, has driven the guys who run the Catholic Church into a complete tizzy.

Leaving that nonsense aside, I would like to make the letter writer aware that today’s feminists do indeed have other issues besides reproductive rights, equal pay being one of them. In fact, the local chapter of the National Organization for Women is hosting a special program on April 17 focusing on this very issue.

April 17 has been designated as Equal Pay Day, because that is how far into 2012 women must work to earn what men earned in 2011.

To raise public awareness about this injustice, NOW has invited nationally known writer David Cay Johnston to speak on the issue. Mr. Johnston, an expert in economics, is of the opinion that men have for too long been missing in action on the issue of equal pay, and he will explain why it is to their advantage to join the fight.

While Tim Louis Macaluso writes about parent groups pushing for the “legal muscle to significantly change a district’s policy,” he failed to provide the backstory needed to truly understand the Parent Trigger Law (“Groups Push Parent Trigger Law,” March 21). Mr. Macaluso may have left the impression that all parents are in favor of such legislation. This is not true.

The idea for “parent trigger” laws came from California under the 2010 Parent Empowerment in Education Act (2010). This act was promoted by the organization Parent Revolution — a group founded by charter-school operators and backed financially by venture philanthropists. Parent

trigger allows a majority of parents at a low-performing school to sign a petition to “trigger” one of a narrow set of options (e.g., firing some of the staff or turning the school over to a charter school).

On two separate occasions, California parents “triggered” the petition process only to have the drive fail or stall because parents were confused by the petition or felt misled by the organizers. A more recent Parent Trigger Law died on the floor of the Florida State Senate on March 9, 2012 for lack of a majority vote. So far, no parent trigger law has been successful in any state.

Parents Across America – PAA @ (http://parentsacrossamerica. org/) has come out strongly against “parent trigger laws” and has developed a position paper which is available at their website.

It states, “while we (PAA) strongly support real parent empowerment at the school level, the parent trigger law does not give parents the opportunity to choose among more positive reforms, and fails to promote best practices for parent involvement from the ground up.”

Parent trigger bills have been introduced in the New York State Assembly (A07569B, PeoplesStokes, seconded by Rochester’s David Gantt) and in the New York State Senate (S05777, Grisanti). The provisions in both bills only apply to cities with a population between 225,000 and 300,000. Therefore, any RCSD school identified by the New York Commissioner of Education as being low performing with a petition signed by 55 percent of the parents and guardians could become part of this so-called “improvement process.”

Rochester parents need to pay heed. If enacted, the drive for a “parent trigger” could result in a simple majority of parents being able to close a school, convert a school to a charter school, or contract with a private organization to run a school. Here’s the danger: The Assembly and Senate bills have no special provision for returning a school building to the local school district if a charter school or private enterprise takes over and fails. Our taxpayer dollars paid for these schools; this is not the way to empower parents.

War and its effects

“At some point, then, do we become something other than what

we were?” (“When We Become Savages,” Urban Journal, March 21).

Yes, Ms. Towler, we do. But you seem blind to it, and what it actually involves. Despite your inability to see anything but the most egregious deviation from the norm as emblematic of this war, there are countless men and women who have risen far above what they were or thought they could be, and the honor, collateral or otherwise, will be theirs despite you.

Consider the story of Spc. Dennis Weichel of the Rhode Island National Guard.

I suspect that many more Iraqis and Afghans have been saved by men and women like Spc. Weichel than murdered by rogue troops. The grueling task of winning hearts and minds isn’t helped by the myopic, even sick-minded, imagination that sick-mindedness is the real story of what Americans are about in that region.

CRAIG

Race and Trayvon Martin

It would have been great if the liberal media and the ambulance chasers waited to get all of the facts on this case rather than jump to the conclusions that suit their agenda (“Guns, Racism, and Trayvon Martin,” Urban Journal, March 29.) Trying to find a non-biased news source proves nearly impossible.

The tragedy of the violent and avoidable death of an American teenager is something everyone in this country, regardless of skin color, can agree on and work together to prevent in the future.

However, the news media would prefer to divide the country based on their skin color. Who’s the real racist? Perhaps if the liberal media is honestly interested in letting this country’s racial wounds heal it could actually present news in an unbiased format for a change. But sensationalism is what sells.

PEKING HUMONCULOUS

Posted on Rochestercitynewspaper.com Touchy white people are writing a lot about this case, calling for calm. But how many black gated communities have gun-toting volunteers keeping out whites? Have you ever been kept from going to the school of your choice? Has anybody ever tried to keep your family out of the neighborhood you wanted to move to?

Alternative high school approved

The Rochester school board approved plans to use John Marshall High School as an alternative school for struggling students. The students must currently be enrolled in high schools that are being phased out. But the Marshall school will be a last resort of sorts. Many students will instead be directed to non-traditional programs that already exist, including Young Mothers, Young Adult Evening High School, and New Beginnings.

Marshall will be open for extended hours to help accommodate students who need a flexible schedule. The alternative school will open in July.

State budget passes

New York got an on-time budget for the second year in a row. The $132.6-billion spending plan does not include a state health insurance exchange, which all states are required to create under the federal Affordable Care Act. Cuomo says that he will set up the exchange through an executive order.

News ENVIRONMENT | BY JEREMY MOULE

More algae, more problems

Occupy packs up

Occupy Rochester left Washington Square Park gracefully, after a judge ruled against them in Occupy’s lawsuit against the City of Rochester.

Occupiers had claimed that their agreement to camp in the park was automatically renewed every two months. But State Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Frazee said that the contract Occupy had with the city “is clear and unambiguous and permits the city to deny any renewal.”

Occupy Rochester says it plans to continue having its general assemblies in the park, and that it will keep organizing protests, campaigns, and actions.

The mild winter could mean a spring and summer where algae blooms are a bigger problem than usual in Lake Ontario and other local waterways.

Last week, Color Brighton Green held a presentation on local water quality issues. Charles Knauf, the department’s chief water quality analyst, told the crowd that algae tends to be worse in years when there are no big winter storms to disrupt algae growth.

Algae levels are one factor that Monroe County uses to determine whether to permit swimming at its beaches. FILE PHOTO

“I got called out on two algae blooms already, and it’s not even April,” he said. Both involved inland water bodies.

Traditionally, excessive algae are attributed to nutrient runoff from lawns and fields. However, the mild winter — Lake Ontario, and the Great Lakes in general barely froze during it — has given algae growth a head start.

Between November and February, Rochester received 52.4 inches of snow. The average is approximately 85 inches per winter and historically it’s been common for the area to receive more than 100 inches of snow.

In general, algae growth can cause water quality problems, and summer

algae are a particular problem for Monroe County’s public beaches.

Algae clumps can be breeding grounds for bacteria, and high pathogen counts can lead to beach closings. Algae can also cloud up the water; clarity is a major factor in whether a beach stays open.

Environment and public health officials have tried to address the nutrient runoff issue. Rain washes fertilizer from lawns and farmland into the lake or into the Genesee River, which then carries the contaminants to the lake.

Cost of War Camp Fitz-John Porter was a training camp for Civil War recruits from Monroe County. More than 500 soldiers passed through the camp.

“The soldiers who were there were in some of the most amazing and most significant battles of the Civil War,” John Curran says.

Rochester Civil War camp remembered

No teacher cuts in school budget

Today it’s a rustic, mostly overlooked spot with a gorgeous view of the city skyline. But in 1862, it was where men, promised “a sunny excursion to the south,” slept in cotton tents and prepared to join the Union Army.

Camp Fitz-John Porter was a training camp for Civil War recruits from Monroe County.

More than 500 soldiers passed through the camp, which was located along the Genesee River across from what is now the University of Rochester’s River Campus in southwest Rochester. The camp — General Fitz-John Porter was a hero of the Mexican-American War — stretched southwest along Cottage Street between Magnolia and Utica Streets.

“The soldiers who were there were in some of the most amazing and most significant battles of the Civil War,” says John Curran, of the Plymouth-Exchange Neighborhood Association.

PLEX will mark the 150th anniversary of the camp with a commemoration on Saturday, October 6. Uniformed re-enactors will portray soldiers from the 140th and 108th Regiments, who trained at Camp Fitz-John Porter. Other actors will portray fugitive slaves and recount Rochester’s history in the abolition movement and with the Underground Railroad. And an actor playing Frederick Douglass will deliver Douglass’s 1863 “A Call to Arms” speech.

This plaque marks the location of Camp Fitz-John Porter. PHOTO BY CHRISTINE CARRIE FIEN

“The Civil War had not been going well for the Union,” Curran says. “But when Frederick Douglass issued the speech, that brought in over 100,000 [black] troops.”

Camp Fitz-John Porter has been largely forgotten. Curran says that’s because the camp area eventually became home to an oil refinery, and there was also a scrap yard nearby.

“So for people who live in the neighborhood, they virtually are unaware of it because it has been an unattractive place to go to because of the heavy vegetation and the lack of illumination,” Curran says. “The land itself has literally been neglected since the 1930’s when the oil refinery closed.”

APRIL 4-10, 2012

A year ago, the Rochester school board couldn’t have seemed more unstable.

Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard announced his departure following a long and bitter battle with Rochester Teachers Association President Adam Urbanski. The district was facing one of its largest budget gaps in years, requiring cuts in programs and staff, including teachers. And the opening rounds in what would become a bruising fight for four open seats on the school board had been fired.

Today, some of those issues seem to have little bearing on the board. And there are signs that the school board has emerged stronger and a little more cohesive in the post-Brizard era.

One reason for the change in tone and

approach may be the improved relationship between the school board and City Hall.

The tension and snarky infighting has faded and given way to a productive partnership, says school board President Malik Evans.

“I can’t say enough good things about [Mayor] Tom Richards,” he says. “He really wants this district to succeed. I feel like we’re working with each other and not around each other. Tom is only interested in one thing: getting results.”

Richards has been clear about his lack of interest in mayoral control, even though State Assembly member David Gantt is still pushing for it.

And Richards was instrumental in keeping the massive $1.2 billion schools modernization program moving forward, Evans says. City Hall has helped the district with borrowing for the project, since the district cannot borrow large sums on its own.

The relationships appear to extend beyond Evans and Richards. City Commissioner Carlos Carballada and City Council member Loretta Scott have been actively involved in the search for a permanent superintendent.

And Council member Elaine Spaull oversees New Beginnings, a program aimed at helping some city students get back on a track to graduate.

The relationship most board members have

developed with Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas is different than the one they had with Brizard. The sniping and emotional wrangling that characterized some board meetings 18 to 24 months ago has almost disappeared.

Prior to leaving, Brizard voiced concerns

Time has allowed us to learn how to work together.”

Van Wh ite

about the board’s basic managerial abilities.

He said there were leadership issues on the board, with some members confining their job to policy-setting, and others who wanted to micromanage every one of his decisions.

Some of the tension could be attributed to the management-by-committee nature of school boards, Brizard said at the time.

Advocates of mayoral control often point to the disjointed approach to supervising superintendents as an argument for a more linear, business-like style of management and school governance. And many board members come to office with a wide range of agendas and old animosities, they say, so there’s little incentive for them to work together as a team, much less support a superintendent.

Board member Van White says the school

board is a stronger, more effective body than it was a year ago, but that it’s not due to Brizard’s absence. White was one of Brizard’s biggest supporters and actively promoted many of his policies, like closing lowperforming schools and opening new schools.

“Time has allowed us to learn how to work together,” White says. “We don’t agree with each other any more than we did before. But we know how to work with each other better than we did.”

He cites the recent approval of an alternative high school as the latest example.

Under an amended plan, Marshall High School will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to provide students with a flexible schedule and courses that are intervention-oriented.

“We collaborated with the superintendent and each other to come up with a stronger proposal,” he says.

And White credits board member Mary Adams for pushing the board to be more collaborative, particularly when it comes to parents and community members.

The board has been trying to rehabilitate its relationship with parents for more than a year through a stronger Parent Advisory Council and parent involvement on the board’s working committees, White says.

RESEARCH Subjects Needed

But White says Adams has been particularly assertive about involving parents in the search for a permanent superintendent.

“Mary has been relentless about it,” he says.

For a mild to moderate plaque psoriasis trial.

Potential subjects must be over 18 years old, in good general health and willing to attend four study visits.

Board member Melisza Campos says

that working relationships among board members have improved, but that she still has some concerns. For example: how does the board transform its newfound camaraderie into results?

Campos says the board needs to put greater emphasis on strategic thinking and long-term planning that go beyond boilerplate statements like “improve graduation rates.” Campos wants specifics.

“What we have are short-term goals, which is O.K. considering the situation we’re in,” she says. “But if we’re thinking about where we want this district to be in five years, we need to know how we’re going to get there. What needs to happen?”

“When I came to the board, the graduation rate was 39 percent,” Campos says. “We’ve improved a lot, but we have a long way to go.”

Campos says the district has been in flux for about a year because of the absence of a permanent superintendent. Having a long-term perspective and hiring a new superintendent would help to create a more stable environment, she says.

Eligible subjects will be compensated for time and travel.

Dining noodles,” so named because of the amount of beer you’ll consume trying to tamp down the burn), that are gratuitous exercises in the masochistic pleasure of heat for heat’s sake.

At Viet Thai, unless you ask for it, you simply won’t get anything like this. On my first visit, I ordered the pad kee mau ($8.25 with pork or chicken), looking forward to that dish’s usual burst of heat. What was delivered to me looked remarkably like a red curry with coconut milk (kaeng phet) served over the usual wide, flat noodles. The vegetables in the dish were beautifully fresh, and the knife work was gorgeously done (I was particularly fond of the scoring on the outside of the zucchini slices), but the smoky flavor and intense heat typically associated with the dish just wasn’t there. I didn’t need to reach for my glass of iced coffee with condensed milk even once, let alone ask for another. Similarly, that hottest of Thai-style curries, Evil Jungle Prince ($8.25), was more of a Gentle Garden Prince, full of fresh veg and nicely flavorful, but not at all spicy.

Thai with training wheels Viet Thai Restaurant 1780 E. Ridge Road 266-8878 Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

The first time I set foot in Mao Seng and Vilay Sysavath’s Viet Thai Restaurant in Irondequoit a couple of weeks ago, I had a strange feeling of déjà vu. It wasn’t because the place is similar to the couple’s popular pho and noodle restaurant SEA on Monroe Avenue — it’s not. There was something about the restaurant, something I couldn’t quite put my finger on, that reminded me forcefully of the first Vietnamese restaurant I visited more than 20 years ago in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Set in a former Chinese restaurant, Viet Thai is, in many ways, a throwback to a time when Vietnamese and Thai food were still unfamiliar cuisines outside of bigger cities and college towns. It evokes a time when Vietnamese food, with its emphasis on fresh ingredients, light sauces, and pho,

was Chinese food lite, and Thai food was almost entirely dominated by peanut sauce and red curry with coconut milk. It is, in short, the best restaurant to go to if you want to introduce someone with a relatively timid palate to the wonder and glory of two of the tastiest and most complex cuisines out there.

But if you are the kind of person who keeps a bottle of fish sauce in your cabinet or has ever asked for your entrée to be delivered to you “Thai hot,” Viet Thai may not be your best place to grab lunch. For the rest of us, though, a trip to Viet Thai can be a real, if somewhat tame, pleasure. That’s not to say that the menu lacks heat and spice, just that you’ll have to look for it a bit and occasionally grab the bottle of Sriracha chili sauce on the table to zip things up a bit.

There is no better way to start a Vietnamese

meal than with a plate of spring rolls ($3.50), shredded lettuce and rice vermicelli wrapped in a translucent rice-flour “skin” along with roasted pork, shrimp, and often shredded herbs like cilantro or Thai basil.

At Viet Thai, the cooks skip the herbs and the roast pork (and thus a tiny bit of the funky flavor that you’ll find in many rolls),

making for a spring roll that tastes light, clean, and fresh with just the barest hint of shrimpy flavor, a pleasant carrier for the accompanying hoisin peanut sauce.

If you want a bit of fire to start your meal, you’ll also choose a plate of the chef ’s special chicken wings ($4.95), a deep-fried wonder that could well displace Buffalo wings in your heart for good. Four fat and meaty chicken wings come in a single order, battered and fried to a deep and appealing brown and then tossed with a sauce that is somewhere between sweet and sour and red curry paste. The wings are served smoking hot from the fryer with the sauce adding just the right jolt of spice to complement the meat and crunchy coating.

You will, without a doubt, find yourself licking the sauce off of your fingers rather than resorting to a more civilized napkin.

That is, however, the last time you may find

yourself in need of something to put out the fire on your tongue. Typically, Thai food is synonymous with heat, the sort of heat that makes sweat break out on your forehead and leaves your mouth more or less numb.

There are even dishes, chief among them pad kee mau (roughly translated as “drunken

lighter and milder side anyway, are a much better bet at Viet Thai. The noodles in my companion’s bowl of “traditional” bun (rice vermicelli with shredded lettuce, cucumbers, and bean sprouts; $8.50) were lovely, cooked just-so — slippery and toothsome, rather than overcooked and gummy as too often happens.

The vegetables were fresh tasting and pleasant.

We ordered ours with grilled beef and fried eggrolls. The beef had a subtle whisper of lemongrass and a nice char, the eggrolls crunchy and full of a mix of pork, spices, and shredded carrot that brought a welcome burst of flavor to the dish. The “house dressing,” while not in any way bad, was also not what I was expecting.

Nuoc cham, the usual accompaniment to bun, relies on the subtle alchemy of rice vinegar and lime juice intermixed with foul-smelling fish sauce to create one of the best dressings I’ve ever encountered. Here, though, there didn’t seem to be any fish sauce at all, which made for a tangy, slightly sweet dressing that lubricated the salad but didn’t really add much or tie the elements together the way that nuoc cham normally does. It was fine, but I got the feeling that I might have been better off going with the unorthodox but probably quite tasty peanut sauce that you can get to go with your noodles instead.

“ N E W M U S I C ” C O M E S O F A G E AT E A S T M A N S C H O O L O F M U S I C [ FEATURE ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

here’s a noticeable change in the buzz around so-called “New Music” these days, from the halls of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music to the concert stage of Le Poisson Rouge in New York City. A genre of classical music that has been unfolding for decades has seemingly overnight come into its own.

“I’m curious to see which other barriers we can find and also go at,” says Matt Evans, a graduate student at Eastman and a percussionist-composer with OSSIA, Eastman’s student-run New Music ensemble. “There are other barriers out there that we will find, and that will be the next project: how can we get rid of this barrier and that barrier…”

That philosophy was shared by undergraduate Andrew Pramuk, baritone, and director of public relations for OSSIA. “Our generation is a bit more about exploration than trying to differentiate,” says Pramuk. “I decided I wanted to come to Eastman because I knew I would not be limited in the varieties of music I would be able to explore.”

Through three concerts taking place locally in the next several weeks, Rochesterians will have an opportunity to experience the modern tableau of New Music in performances from Kilbourn Hall to Water Street Music Hall, featuring current Eastman students or established Eastman grads. These upcoming concerts will prove the insiders’ argument in a rather public way: the Eastman School of Music is where New Music is happening.

For more than 15 years, Eastman students, graduates, and faculty have passionately pursued performances and compositions of New Music. Considering the magnitude of achievements of Eastman ensembles and graduates pursuing New Music performances and compositions, it’s time to proclaim that the Glass ceiling has been broken.

Just what is “New Music,” and why is

“Glass” being spelled with a capital “G”?

Controversial though it may be, “New Music” 12 City APRIL 4-10, 2012

is being capitalized for this article to put it in a league with established genres like “Early Music” or “Renaissance Music.” And “Glass,” capital “G,” is a double-entendre between the proverbial “glass ceiling” cliché that denotes limitations and American composer Philip Glass (b. 1937), who is all about being unlimited in his compositions.

New Music is so controversial as a topic; there isn’t even agreement on when it began.

Depending on who you ask, New Music started in Europe with Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) and Pierre Boulez (b. 1925), while others assert that the genre started in the United States with John Cage (1912-1992), Steve Reich (b. 1936), and Glass. Still others say the term encompasses everything post1950 that’s non-traditional classical music.

For some, New Music evokes works like Cage’s “4’33”” (1952), a three-movement composition that instructs the performers not to play their instruments for the entirety of the piece. For others, no matter how far the genre progresses, it will remain unacceptable.

A 2010 music review of “The American Four Seasons” (2009) by Glass was described as “unmitigated trash” in the British Daily Telegraph.

New Music has also suffered badly from a lack of vocabulary that would even allow its own musicians and composers to describe it. There’s a list of words that the average concert-goer hears relative to New Music: avant-garde, minimalist, experimental, neoclassical, contemporary. You could even say “uncategorized music,” if you’re composerperformer David Lang (b. 1957) of Bang on a Can fame. The average listener gets the feeling that there are technical differences between the terms, but who wants to get a degree just to feel qualified to listen to a performance?

With generations of new initiates to New

Music, Eastman School of Music students and graduates have become part of the evolution of a genre that has broken free to head off into what some are saying might be the beginnings of something entirely new. And they’re playing

with the vocabulary as well, giving it names like “world music” and “indie-classical.”

OSSIA is the New Music student ensemble at Eastman. Its alumni are defining the new sound of New Music through ensembles like Alarm Will Sound, Jack Quartet, So Percussion, and Break of Reality. Incorporated in 1997, OSSIA has been student organized and operated from the beginning, serving as not only a vehicle for New Music performances, but also for hands-on learning on the business of music.

Along with OSSIA, Musica Nova is the other half of the Eastman New Music student incubator. Music Nova is the New Music ensemble at Eastman led by conductor Brad Lubman. Lubman selects the students to perform with Musica Nova, which includes direct contact with living composers during master classes, rehearsals, and concerts.

In his own college years in the early 1980’s, Lubman says, “There were fewer students who were interested in contemporary music; we were amongst the minority.” Lubman arrived to teach at Eastman in 1997, the same year OSSIA was founded. Musica Nova was already underway, having been started in the 1960’s by former Eastman Dean James Undercofler.

Twenty years after Lubman finished his own conservatory education, he says, “What’s very interesting is there are many small, new ensembles devoted to playing New Music.

Many of them are in New York City and many have former Eastman students in them.”

Lubman doesn’t take credit for the origins of New Music at Eastman. “Even before I got here, Eastman was a school that did things in a unique way. They were the first to offer the DMA in music [Doctor of Musical Arts], the first to offer a jazz degree in music, and put on a festival devoted to American music under Howard Hanson in the 1930’s and 40’s.”

Where Lubman will take credit is bringing superstar contemporary composers to work with students at Eastman, particularly through Musica Nova. “Composers of the stature of a Reich or a [Helmut] Lachenmann are singular to Eastman,” says Lubman.

Eastman alum Caleb Burhans of Alarm Will Sound arrived at Eastman in 1998.

OSSIA had been formed the year before, and Burhans started playing in it right away.

Burhans is a composer and performs violin, viola, voice, and guitar.

For Burhans, whose father was a rock musician playing with the likes of Ray Charles and Kenny Rogers, Burhans grew up thinking, “You don’t just recreate other peoples’ music; you make own,” he says.

Burhans started composing when he was 10. From his freshman year at Eastman, Burhans had opportunities to work with composers like Reich and such additional Pulitzer Prize-winning composers as Aaron Jay Kernis (b. 1960) and John Adams (b. 1947).

Burhans and Alarm Will Sound continue to work with these composers to this day.

In addition to Burhans, a dedicated group of nearly 20 Eastman students playing with OSSIA and Musica Nova decided to form Alarm Will Sound. The large, fixedmember chamber orchestra has since released five albums, most recently “a/rythmia” on Nonesuch Records. Alarm Will Sound has a global performance schedule including the United States, Europe, and Russia, with a breadth of venues from Lincoln Center to Disney Hall, and it routinely premieres works by living composers.

Among the first student productions for Burhans with OSSIA was Cage’s “Song Book” (1970), which ultimately influenced the combination of music and theater that became signature to Alarm Will Sound.

“We had some teachers who would say, What are you doing, playing with this ensemble?” says Burhans, who now lives in New York City. “You could tell when your teacher didn’t want you to do something.

Some students would hear ‘you can’t do this’ and stop. Other students made anagrams of their names to put on concert posters so that they could get away with it.”

“There’s this whole movement right now that I’m part of — ‘indie-classical’ — and a lot of what that’s trying to do is bring music back to the people,” says Burhans, who lists the Beatles, John Lennon, and Brian Eno among his inspirations. “A lot of us grew up on Radiohead, but went to a conservatory.

We’re giving a younger generation an access point to listen to this music.”

When Richards arrived at Eastman for his freshman year, he already had a strong interest in contemporary music. “I didn’t expect Eastman to have as much interest and activity in contemporary music as it did,” says Richards. “I felt really spoiled of opportunities. It was just an incredible opportunity for an 18-year-old who was already interested to have the chance.”

Richards says the Jack Quartet was a direct result of its members meeting at Eastman, playing with OSSIA and Musica Nova, and being able to dedicate their time and energy to artistic pursuits. “There were all these composers coming through town,” Richards says. “Lachenmann was one of them.”

“We had concerts with OSSIA from Kilbourn Hall to Manhattan Square Park, and even a couple of bars,” says Richards. “It seemed really wild at the time. Now, classical music is popping up in bars all over the place.”

Richards describes how he and other Eastman graduates started finding themselves together and defining the New York City New Music scene. “Sometimes it’s funny walking into Le Poisson Rouge,” Richards says (Le Poisson is a multimedia New York City “art cabaret” designed as New Music performance space). “It feels like walking into the main hall of Eastman. It started a few years ago, this energy about a new venue and a new model for a venue, and now it’s just a regular part of the contemporary music scene.”

For Richards, New Music “can be anything,” he says. While he acknowledges that just walking on the stage with string All four members of Jack Quartet were instruments created more than 200 years Eastman students in the years 1998-2004, ago “signals a connection to the past,” who have stayed together in the stringRichards is clear when he says, “I do feel very ensemble format. The group delivers independent when it comes to what I do. New performances of New Music, including Music tends to incorporate all sorts of music. premiere works of known and little-known There’s a sense of liberation. New Music is a living composers at venues across the States, state of mind.”

More recently, Break of Reality launched John Pickford Richards, who is also a from amidst Eastman students, pushing founding member of Alarm Will Sound, was the advances of Alarm Will Sound and Jack “raised in a way accidentally with New Music Quartet one step further by overtly fusing being part of my regular musical life,” he says rock and roll into the New Music mix. from his current home in NYC.

“What’s going to end up happening is groups are going to start branching out; it will take on a mainstream kind of audience,” says Trevino. “Once that happens, these institutions are going to have to change, like it or not.”

Trevino, who will start teaching the business of music to Eastman students in fall 2012, is struggling with one aspect of his lesson plan. “Music Business 101 — you’re supposed to have a quick response to who you are and what you do,” says Trevino. “What can I say?

Not content on recycling simple power chords and shallow romantic tidings in its lyrics, the pop-punk outfit has pushed past into headier subject matter while diversifying and expanding its sound to reach a broader audience.

The raspy plea in his voice is undeniable. No slouch at the guitar either, Hunter shines bright within his band’s sweet groove, his tight bursts of pluck and twang playing call and response with his voice. The voice of Boston’s Jesse Dee belies his abbreviated years. The man doesn’t sing as much as he cries in tune. It’s breathtaking and heartbreaking, and his tunes are contemporary classics.

DJ Premier performed Saturday, March 31, at Dub Land Underground. PHOTO BY WILLIE CLARK

It’s all hip-hop to me [ REVIEW ] BY WILLIE CLARK

Heading to a hip-hop show is pretty much my definition of being a fish out of water. My only real experience with rap/hip-hop or live electronica was my middle-school Eminem period, mostly long behind me now. I’ve never really understood what to many is an art: mixing other artists’ music to make a unique performance of your own. In my mind it has always fallen more into the dance party than live-concert category.

But if I’m going to try something new, I might as well start at the top. Saturday night at Dub Land Underground, local entertainment group RIPROC brought in DJ Premier, and you don’t get much bigger than that. Premier is one of the most respected producers in hip-hop history, having worked with Jay-Z, Kanye West, Mos Def, Notorious B.I.G., Snoop Dogg, and a bunch of other top-tier talents.

The first few DJs I caught did not grab my attention, but the person who took over the turntables right before Premier pricked up my ears. I could not for the life of me catch his name over the music (he wasn’t listed on the bill, either). Whoever he was, he did a lot of interesting scratch work despite his short set.

Once Premier took the stage, the difference in stage presence was stark. He didn’t just ask for the crowd’s attention, he commanded it, glowing with swagger, and whipping the club into a hip-hop dance party in no time.

My immediate reaction was to the sheer physicality of it. DJing never struck me as a physically intensive activity, so I was surprised at how hard Premier was working. Sweat dripped as he kept the energy high, bellowing along with the tracks and keeping the crowd dancing and jumping, arms waving in the air.

It was his scratching and mixing that most impressed me. I’m not sure if it’s fair to call them DJ solos, but in my mind that’s what they were. It’s the times in a show where, beside a DJ’s song selection, you can really see the person’s work and thought process.

Premier made a shout out to any writers in the audience to get it right, but I can’t say he necessarily made me a convert to hip-hop or live DJing.

Premier’s set continued past this reviewer’s curfew, and while I might not have gotten it right by him, at least I gave it a shot.

Local band T.A.O. has a decidedly democractic approach to its sound. The result is as changeable as the pronunciation of the group’s name. PHOTO PROVIDED

The tao of T.A.O. T.A.O. Part of Groovefest 4/20 w/Meta Accord, 34 Feet Deep, Clinton’s Ditch, the Park Avenue Band, and Run for the Roses Friday, April 20 Montage Music Hall, 50 N. Chestnut St. 4 p.m. | $10-$15 | themontagemusichall.com reverbnation.com/taodancesing [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

It’s entirely up to you; call it what you like. T.A.O., a relatively young band on the scene, has left the pronunciation of its name up to the fans. There’s “dow,” there’s “tow,” the calypso-tinged “tay-o,” or if you like something with a little flourish, “tee-ayyo.” Often in rock music, the name a band chooses (let’s say Smashing Pumpkins, for instance) has little or nothing to do with who the band is, or the origin of its musical output. However T.A.O.’s name — and the freedom surrounding it — does.

“When you look at it from a Taoist perspective,” says T.A.O. front man David Ferreira, “it is what it is and it is can be whatever it is you’re reflecting on to it.

When people hear the group they’re going to 16 City APRIL 4-10, 2012

come up with an association with what it is — whether I agree with it or not.”

T.A.O. is barely a year old, with only 11 gigs behind it. In its short time the band, which has grown to include Ferreira (vocals, steel drum, baritone sax, and djembe), Casey Bloom (guitar, vocals), brothers Lou (keyboards, vocals, percussion) and Paul Spezio (woodwinds), Jose Santana (drums and vocals), and Reilly Solomon TaylorCook (bass), has also benefitted from that feeling of freedom. Ferreira wrote the first batch of tunes, but he’s quick to point out that they did not set the precedent for future sounds.

“No,” he says. “I made it very clear from the onset with these players that it was a wideopen forum. I wanted everyone to feel free to bring their ideas to the table, nothing is off limits. We’ll make it fit. So now there’s just this crush of creativity.”

Ferreira is no stranger to crushes of

creativity. He spent over a decade as a member of The Buddhahood. With the death of that band’s leader, Tony Cavagnaro, various line-up shifts as well as what he describes as the change of individual priorities in and outside the group, Ferreira decided to split.

“It was probably the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” he says. “I played with The Buddhahood for 11 years. Everything we’ve gone through, everything that’s happened — the loss of Tony, the loss of members, watching the complexion change… The Buddhahood is a family, it’s an enormous family. And to not be part of that family on the same level anymore is hard, but I took a hard look at what my priorities are as a musician. I had to be true to myself.”

Yet there’s still some Buddhahblood in his veins.

“How could there not be?” he says. “Every group I’ve ever played with, I take a piece with me. T.A.O. is not a Buddhahood group, but I am a Buddhahood human being, so there’s instinctively going to be that comparison just based on the nature of the instruments I play.”

Instrumentation and comparisons aside, T.A.O. serves up a deep, percussive groove.

It’s not so much that creamy meandering in an out of the sonic valleys, it’s more of a horn-filled judo chop to the windpipe.

T.A.O. is a study in angular dynamics that’ll make your backbone slip. And there’s Ferreira’s plaintive intonation — singing out front is something new for him — rising above without a shred of pomp, pretense, or glitter. It isn’t so much six precision players as it is one solid unit of multiple interpretations. And it all starts with the name and its multiple pronunciations.

Ferrriera has opted for “tee yay-yo.”

“First of all, because it’s fun to say,” he says. “I don’t have specific words for what the acronym stands for — I’ve heard some great ones, though: tingly auditory orgasm, thoroughly outrageous outreach.”

Ferreira put this band together as a working

group. He got his wish. The band almost immediately went into the studio, piggybacking onto bills with big bands like Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, and writing new material as a group.

“I wanted to find competent players who were really hungry and eager to play,” Ferreira says. “And we have multiple songwriters in the group, too. They’re all coming from different backgrounds. There’s no way I could have predicted which way this group was going to go in, but I’m loving which way it is. Variety is key. I’ve got players that are steeped in years of a funk background, that’s taking on a new direction for me. And the writing that’s been happening recently, I can’t keep up with at this point.”

T.A.O. plans on releasing an album by late spring and hitting the road, where the fans will hear what they hear within the band’s energy and music. That’s the tao of T.A.O.

METAL | Judas Priestess

Maybe you caught Judas Priest’s farewell gig at the Main Street Armory last year, or just wish you had. All-girl tribute group Judas Priestess could be your next best alternative to the metal gods themselves. The NYC band has killer chops, not to mention rock-star hair and leather pants.

Lead singer MilitiA has toured with “Jesus Christ Superstar” and Dee Snider’s project Van Helsing’s Curse, while several members of the group are veterans of other allfemale tribute bands including Ziggy Starlet (David Bowie) and Girls, Girls, Girls (Motley Crue). Judas Priestess has even earned a blessing from Rob Halford. Not bad considering the group was formed in 2009.

Judas Priestess performs Friday, April 6, 10 p.m. at Nola’s BBQ, 4775 Lake Ave. $10. 663-3375.

Smashing the Glass ceiling continues from page 13

Alarm Will Sound was founded at Eastman. Now the New Music group performs in major venues all over the world. PHOTO PROVIDED

Considering that this is only the fifth year of the competition, Pramuk can only attribute the far-flung appeal of the OSSIA competition to the open-mindedness of his generation. “Our concerts this year have displayed an eclecticism that reflects our study body, enjoying different flavors and different kinds of things, with no one thing being necessarily better than another thing,” says Pramuk. “It’s all viable artistic options.

Each holds its own value. We have all these different building blocks for what New Music can be. You don’t want to say, ‘I can’t.’ You want to say, ‘How can we combine these things in interesting and effective ways?’”

Equally true is the fact that groups like Alarm Will Sound, Jack Quartet, So Percussion, and Break of Reality — as well as other new and contemporary music groups — have performer-composers in the midst.

Lubman relates how in the 1960’s and early 1970’s, Glass and Reich were writing music that orchestras were not going to perform, and that was not really intended for orchestras. That caused both of them to form their own ensembles so that they could write the music they wanted, and to and develop it with their own performers. By the 1980’s, orchestras and other ensembles were commissioning works from Reich and Glass, and other likeminded composers.

“Yes,” says Lubman, himself also a composer, “it’s also part of a generational thing. It’s come about where you have more people who are composer-performers. In the past there was more of a divorce between the two. Now, it’s becoming common, particularly in these smaller ensembles.”

Continuing to excel at New Music remains Lubman’s raison d’être. His work with OSSIA for the all-Reich concert on April 11 will be no exception. On the program is “Tehillim,” which Lubman describes as “one of the great works not only of the 20th century, but of all time.”

“Tehillim,” written by Reich in 1981, is a setting of verses from Psalms 19, 34, 18, and 150. It is scored for four voices and a long list of instruments, and requires sound engineers.

18 City APRIL 4-10, 2012

Also on the concert is Reich’s “Double Sextet” (2009), which Lubman describes as “great.” The Double Sextet will be performed

by OSSIA, side-by-side with SIGNAL, the professional New Music ensemble founded and led by Lubman.

What Lubman sees from his perspective as a “natural trend” in a world where a brand new piece, written and performed last week, can already seem old to some, expresses itself as a raw, emotional energy from Trevino, who describes New Music today as being “right on the cusp of something special.”

Even though Break of Reality has just released a new album, music from which will be featured at the group’s May Water Street Music Hall performance, the group is in the midst of figuring out orchestral scoring to take Break of Reality into the mainstream classical concert hall.

“People are starting to take notice of this whole movement,” says Trevino. “Music must be relevant; there must be a personal connection with the audience. I think there’s going to have to be a movement like this, or else there is not going to be a lot of jobs for people. Classical musicians are going to have to try new things.”

FOLK | Robert Sarazin Blake

Robert Sarazin Blake’s upcoming appearance at The Bug Jar offers a chance Rochesterians to climb inside the mind of a contemporary troubadour. His new album “Put It All Down In a Letter” ranges from a rambling 17-minute guided tour through the city of brotherly love in “I Didn’t Call You From Philadelphia” to an indictment of American celebrity culture in “Tiger Woods Boom Boom,” and countless other off-the-cuff topics voiced in Blake’s charming, familiar tone.

His music can be described as what would happen if Jack Kerouac and James Joyce, each on the tail end of a punkrock phase, meet in an Irish pub to record their observations over the strum of acoustic guitars and the accompaniment of traditional Celtic musicians.

Art The show moves forward through the progression of time and technology, with the addition of the pull-tab, in which a paper and sometimes wire lever would, when pulled, operate a mechanism that altered the image. In “Fur brave Kinder: Ein Ziehbilderbuch,” a pond scene is altered by the viewer when a single lever is pulled and five frogs disappear into the water as a hungry stork pops out from behind a tree. The book was created in the 1890’s by Munich-born Lothar Meggendorfer, considered “history’s genius of paper engineering,” per the show card, and the namesake of the Meggendorfer Prize for paper engineering awarded to one recipient by the Moveable Book Society biennially since 1998.

Robert Sabuda’s 2003 “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: a pop-up adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s original tale” is part of “Springing to Life,” currently on display at Rush Rhees Library. PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER

Pouncing from the page “Springing to Life: Moveable Books and Mechanical Devices” Through August 17 Rare Books, Special Collections & Preservation, Room 225 Rush Rhees Library University of Rochester River Campus Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

275-4477, library.rochester.edu [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

Many of us remember pop-up books from our childhood. The stories were illustrated with brightly colored pictures pouncing from the page, or moveable parts operated by delicate levers. The magic of the objects was that they brought the stories to life, dancing with the imagination while awakening ideas in some of what possibilities are involved in the term “book.”

But even fans of pop-up books may not be aware of the rich, fascinating history involved in the literary genre. The Rare Books and Special Collections Department at University of Rochester’s Rush Rhees Library currently has on exhibit an illustrated story of the nearly 500-year history of the interactive book, featuring more than 50 feats of paper engineering.

The show’s curator is Leah Hamilton, collections manager at Rare Books, who 20 City april 4-10, 2012

worked for 14 years behind the scenes in the department’s conservation lab.

“Springing to Life” provides a great balance of historic information, visual evidence of the development of paper engineering and the progress within the field, as well as the different uses for and purposes behind the books. And like any decent teller of history, Hamilton has remembered to inject bits of intrigue into the mix.

For example, in the section about the

first known type of moveable book element, called the volvelle, developed in the 13th century by a monk named Matthew Paris, we learn about a 1540 book, the “Astromonicum Caesareum” by Peter Apian, created for Emperor Charles V. Charles was so impressed that he bestowed upon its creator a new coat of arms, the title of court astronomer, and the right to appoint poets laureate and determine the legitimacy of children born out of wedlock.

Early books with moveable components were geared toward adults, but by the 18th century they were being created with children in mind.

Londoner Robert Sayer developed the “metamorphosis,” or turn-up book, with flaps that, when lifted, altered the image.

A popular motif for the interchangeable illustrations was “societally shocking scenarios,” says Hamilton, where altering the images placed men in dresses and women in pantaloons.

The delicate nature of many of these items

requires that the displays remain behind glass, so Hamilton included standing stations throughout the first few sections of the exhibit that have reproductions of some works from the cases, allowing viewers to spin volvelles and pull levers to gain a tangible understanding of how the mechanisms worked.

The first true three-dimensional books arrived during the 19th century, with images pasted on a simple collapsible box that added dimension to illustrations when a ribbon was pulled and the box opened. There was a brief decline in the industry during World War II, when friendly ties were severed with German chromolithography masters, and resources and skilled labor was diverted from toybook industries. Following the war, rapid developments took place in 3D book mechanisms, and the term “pop-up” was coined. A rare 1933 Disney-produced book, “Silly Symphonies [Containing Babes in the Woods and King Neptune],” shows a vibrantly hued early attempt at scenes that popped up vertically when the book was opened.

The exhibit utilizes examples of various marvelous paper feats to punctuate the story of developments in the decades following World War II. Vojtěch Kubašta’s 1961 “How Columbus Discovered America, or Christoph Columbus Geneunsis” is open to a page with three towering ships, the central Santa Maria towering 13 inches over the page and rigged with string supports. The increased complexity had me wondering at the vision required to create Robert Sabuda’s 2003 “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” with the titular girl cowering under a swarm of flying cards,

and Jaspre Bark’s 2009 “Journal of Inventions: Leonardo Da Vinci,” which rests open to a popping page on the genius’ bat-winged flying machine.

A section on the introduction of sound

to the books reveals how springs, tiny bellows, and even small vinyl discs (in collaboration with Columbia records), were used to add another sensory experience to the playful tomes. Among them is a 2008 work completed by a group of artists and paper engineers in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, entitled “Birdscapes: a PopUp Celebration of Bird Songs in Stereo Sound,” which utilizes digitally recorded vocalizations from our winged friends.

Additional cases explore how the accordion fold informed the telescopic tunnel techniques, with examples of complex works of the latter, such as a sinister Edward Gorey piece, and simpler, sleek ones in the former group, such as the 1986 “Alphabook3” by Rochester’s own Scott McCarney.

The exhibit wraps with impressive books produced by the winners of the Meggendorfer Prize, including the 2002 winner, Robert Sabuda’s 2000 “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: A Classic Collectible,” open to a page completely taken over by a shimmering, prismatic take on Emerald City, and the text printed on a mini pop-up booklet.

Matthew Reinhart took the 2008 prize for the impressive 2007 “Star Wars PopUp Guide to the Galaxy,” with includes gatefolds — where an oversized page is folded down to fit the book, but opens to full size beyond the boundary of the book — as well as battery-operated light sabers that glow when the pop-up is opened.

The competition for the best in paper engineering continues this year when the 2012 winner of the Meggendorfer Prize will be determined in Salt Lake City, but some wonder if eReader technology will end the era of pop-up books. Hamilton says that engineers are doing what they can to incorporate new technology into books, keeping them relevant. As an example, she cites paper engineer Bruce Foster’s “Puff the Magic Dragon” — not included in this show — which featured fluid instead of boxy folds, a CD in the back, and a QR code to scan for an additional iPad element. Hamilton also mentions the artobject collectability factor that also might save moveable and pop-up books from fading out completely.

Any fan of foreign film can tell you how different acting techniques are from West to East, but how many can talk about bridging the gap between the two? On Tuesday, April 10, 4-6 p.m., the State University College at Geneseo (Newton 204, 1 College Circle, Geneseo) will present actor, director, and scholar Zvika Serper (pictured, center in the Kabuki play “Chatsubo”) in “Crossing Artistic Frontiers: Japanese Traditional Theatre, Western Contemporary Practice, A Lecture Demonstration.” A reception for Serper will follow in the Brodie Hall Faculty Lounge.

Dr. Serper holds joint appointments in the departments of East Asian Studies and Theatre Arts at Tel Aviv University.

For many years, he has studied and performed kabuki, noh, kyogen, t’ai chi ch’uan, and related performing arts, and his intercultural productions and lectures have been presented throughout the world.

The following Wednesday, April 11, 2:30-4:30 p.m., a screening of Serper’s production of “Intercultural Agamemnon” will be held in Newton Hall room 201.

Both events are free and open to the public. For more information, call 245-5000 or visit geneseo.edu.

SPECIAL EVENT | Dayglow: Life in Color Tour

Forget eggs; if you want to spend your Easter weekend coloring something a bit more adult, the Dayglow: Life in Color Tour will be right up your alley. Dayglow is an international paint party, a huge rave-like experience that involves circus-like entertainers (stilt walkers, aerialists, contortionists, etc.), live DJs, sweaty dancing bodies, and of course a cannon spraying the crowd with gobs of neon paint. It’s popular with the college crowd.

And now it’s in 3D! I have no idea what that means, except that everyone will be wearing those silly glasses.

Dayglow: Life in Color Tour comes to Rochester on Friday, April 6, at the Main Street Armory (900 E. Main St.). The event runs 7 p.m.-midnight. Tickets to the 18-and-over party cost $55$75. For more information visit rochestermainstreetarmory. com or dayglowtour.com. — BY ERIC REZSNYAK

THEATER | “Jesus in India”

If you grew up in America, you probably know that Christians worship a god who temporarily took form as his own human son (sorta) named Jesus, who survived his crucifixion and was resurrected and now reigns in heaven. The worship emphasis is on the son. You might have heard that the Mormon religion, which originated in the outer limits of the Rochester region, holds that after shedding his mortal coil, Jesus wound up in America and brought the word to the natives, some of which, they believe, are a lost tribe of Israel called the Nephites. But the Christians and the Mormons aren’t alone in their claim on Jesus’ afterlife. Some Hindu literature places Jesus in Kashmir for a spell, and tales abound of his appearances all over Asia.

Just in time for Easter, The Professor of Rap invited nine playwrights to contribute stories addressing Jesus’ postresurrection journeys. The event, entitled “Jesus in India” includes work by Anthony Irwin, Justin Rielly, Kristina Wilson, Elizabeth Waller, Ph.D. and Elizabeth Benedict.

The event is choreographed by Jacqueline Moe, and Spencer Christiano will direct.

The performance will take place on Good Friday, April 6, at 1 p.m. the MuCCC (142 Atlantic Ave.). Admission is free.

For more information, call 244-0960 or visit muccc.org.

The love affair of the century [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“W. E.” (R), directed by Madonna Now playing

Though no doubt purely by accident, the new movie “W. E.” serves as a kind of prequel to “The King’s Speech” of 2010, providing some of the background that led to the coronation of the unready and unwilling ruler of England, King George VI. Directed by Madonna, perhaps the most prominent (and unlikely) Anglophile outside PBS — she now even speaks with an acceptable English accent — the picture recounts the love affair between King Edward

VIII and the American divorcée, Wallis Warfield Simpson, a scandal that shook the foundations of the British Empire and enthralled millions of voyeurs around the world.

The film moves back and forth through time, stopping at several different dates in the 1920’s and 1930’s, chronicling the lives of the two lovers separately and together at various stages of their relationship. It also alternates between those years and 1998, when Sotheby’s auction house in Manhattan mounted an exhibit and sale of hundreds of items from the estate of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the couple’s title after Edward abdicated the throne to marry the woman he loved. In that period it focuses on Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), a young woman named after Wallis Simpson and obsessed by the affair, who haunts the exhibit, watches documentaries of the couple’s lives, and even identifies with her namesake.

Intercutting constantly between the two periods and the two lives, “W. E.” (the initials of Wallis and Edward)

The director also shows the actors themselves in jumpy, grainy black-and-white stock that imitates the old films to capture moments the newsreels never caught.

Paralleling Wallis’s first marriage, Wally suffers mistreatment from her husband, a highly successful physician who rejects her sexually and abuses her both emotionally and physically. She finds solace in a relationship that begins as a friendship with Evgeni (Oscar Isaac), a security guard at Sotheby’s who sympathizes with her fascination with the story and allows her to sneak into the exhibit after hours and indulge her obsession.

In its many flashbacks to various times and places the movie exhibits considerable fidelity to the contemporary context — the clothing, the palatial residences of royalty and nobility, the lavish banquets, the squads of servants, the fashions and hair styles, even the brittle chatter and nervous mannerisms all reflect that oddly frantic, falsely giddy tone of the privileged classes in England between the two world wars (Robert Graves called it “the long weekend”).

It generally ignores the dreadful economic conditions of the 1930’s, the rise of Fascism, the brutal spread of Japan’s Greater East Asian CoProsperity Sphere, and the Spanish Civil War, which began during the year of abdication.

Myths and fairy tales [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Wrath of the Titans” (PG-13), directed by Jonathan Liebesman Now playing

“Sleeping Beauty” (NR), written and directed by Julia Leigh Screens Friday and Sunday at the Dryden

If it apparently sympathizes with what some observers regard as a beautiful and romantic love story in which a king sacrifices his throne for his beloved — Edward even quotes Dryden’s “All for Love, or The World Well Lost” — the movie also suggests some of the frustration and bitterness of the couple’s life after the abdication. Although it shows some of the popularity among the common people that Edward enjoyed as Prince of Wales, and later as King Edward VIII, the picture barely even hints at the sense of disappointment and betrayal of his subjects at the news of the king’s extraordinary decision. It also only hints at the controversy surrounding Edward’s alleged sympathy for Nazism and his acquaintance with Hitler — Wally and her husband argue about that rumor, a sign of his contempt for her interest.

“W. E.” exhibits the results of considerable research in its total appearance, the glossy finish of the color images and the authenticity of its black-and-white footage, both actual and created. Though somewhat repetitive, its visual narrative, consisting of innumerable quick cuts, shifts in time, frequent montage, and continual lap dissolves maintains a nice sense of pace. The director often uses an object or a gesture in Wally’s present to open up a view of the past, so that Wally and Wallis sometimes repeat actions, dissolve into one another, and now and then, at least in fantasy, even meet and speak, conversations that reinforce the perfect ambiguity of the story.

At this stage of the cinema game, it’s a little unconscionable that every movie isn’t awesome. With all the flicks that have been made — as well as the exponential number of opinions offered about each of them — you’d think that a filmmaker would know just what to do, or at the very least what not to do. And a ninefigure budget (11, including cents) certainly sounds like enough to buy the right parts, human and otherwise, to cobble together a fine film. Now, I know what you’re thinking: self-expression, individual tastes, blah blah blah. I get it.

What I’m saying is that with a Hollywood production’s typical abundance of craftspeople, money, and time, excellence ought to be a foregone conclusion. In the case of the noisy, bland “Wrath of the

Titans,” however, quality seems like more of an afterthought.

The sequel to 2010’s “Clash of the Titans” remake opens, unsurprisingly, with some lazy voiceover courtesy of Liam Neeson’s mighty Zeus, bringing us up to speed on where we are in the tale of his demigod son, Sam Worthington’s Perseus.

Now a humble fisherman and single father to 10-year-old Helius, Perseus gets pulled back into divine problems when Zeus materializes one evening to warn him that the once-absolute power of the Olympians is weakening due to a lack of earthly worship and that the Titans, led by Zeus’s imprisoned father Kronos, are preparing to take over. Zeus’s whiny son Ares (Édgar Ramirez, “Carlos’’) is now aligned with Ralph Fiennes’ sexy, sooty Hades in Kronos’s corner, and it’s up to Perseus to... um... I don’t remember what his exact instructions were. C’mon; like it really matters.

Anyway, Perseus dons the ol’ armor and heads for the underworld prison of Tartarus, gathering up sidekicks in the form of Poseidon’s louche demigod son Agenor (comic relief Toby Kebbell, “War Horse”) and the battle-ready Queen Andromeda (a criminally wasted Rosamund Pike, “An Education”), and pausing along the way to slay various mythic creatures in a relatively bloodless, PG-13 fashion. But don’t worry about keeping track of it all; in just about every scene, the windy script provides for at least one character to explain what happened, what might happen, and why. When no one’s clashing, that is: “Wrath of the Titans” keeps up a nearly constant hum of action, with the CGI varying between serviceable and eye-popping (those Cyclopses!) and the entire cast being put through their physical paces.

Worthington in particular compensates for his entrenched dullness with some demanding corporeal labor.

To be fair — and despite my initial complaint about this film’s almost defiant mediocrity — “Wrath of the Titans” wasn’t designed to be held up to critical scrutiny; the accents are all over the map, the pivotal role of Ares is woefully miscast and badly written, and logic is utterly absent. But some charms exist, mostly in the form of actors who are totally above this, like Danny Huston as the weary Poseidon and an unrecognizable Bill Nighy as Hephaestus, blacksmith to the gods. Naturally, the too-brief interludes showcasing the thorny fraternal bond between Neeson’s Zeus and Fiennes’ Hades are the highlights of “Wrath of the Titans.” Hey, remember when Neeson and Fiennes were both nominated for Oscars for “Schindler’s List”? Times sure have changed.

As a filmmaker, there are two ways to

rivet a viewer. You can either make your movie so fascinating that looking away is out of the question, or you can make it so enigmatic that looking away might mean you’ll miss a crucial, instructive detail. Writer-director Julia Leigh’s perplexing “Sleeping Beauty” is the latter, an ambiguous portrait of a young college student who begins working in the sex trade. No penetration allowed, mind you; Lucy (Emily Browning, “Sucker Punch”) is voluntarily drugged into a deep sleep, during which her clients fulfill their desires.

The difficulty with “Sleeping Beauty” is that Lucy remains a cipher throughout; we see what she does, but we don’t understand who she is, and that inability to get inside Lucy’s head — or heart, for that matter — makes it hard for us to empathize with her. But as obtuse as her narrative is, Leigh definitely shows promise as a director; her takes are long and exquisitely framed, and she’s confident enough to sometimes let silence tell the story.

SLEEPING BEAUTY

Friday, April 6, 8 p.m.; Sunday, April 8, 2 p.m.

The feature debut of one of Australia’s most prominent authors, Julia Leigh’s meditation on the classic Sleeping Beauty tale is at turns shocking, eerily discomforting, and strangely humorous. It hinges on the icily compelling performance of Emily Browning as a college-aged woman tired of waiting tables who ventures into the sex business, with a twist: she’s placed into a deep, trancelike sleep during her working hours. (Julia Leigh, Australia 2011, 101 min.)

MIDNIGHT COWBOY Movies for movie lovers, 6 nights a week.

New Release

Saturday, April 7, 8 p.m.

The first — and only — X-rated film to win a Best Picture Oscar® is an emotionally searing odyssey through 1969 America as imagined by a perceptive outsider: British director John Schlesinger. Corn-fed hustler Joe Buck (Jon Voight) may not be a “for-real cowboy,” but he is a purely American archetype, one lost in the spiritual desolation of Manhattan’s seedy Times Square. (John Schlesinger, US 1969, 113 min.)

What’s in a name? Take the appropriately named “Swillburg” neighborhood. When first dubbed, it brought an image of dusty farms, broken fences, troughs full of feed, and the neighborly charm of free roaming swine to mind. Luckily, or unluckily if you are a bacon enthusiast, the sepia-toned original incarnation of Swillburg, with its massive pig farm and all the related olfactory delights, slowly transformed as hardy German and Irish immigrants settled in the area and put down their roots. This next generation of the neighborhood was an aesthetic improvement, bringing to mind classic turn-of-the century homes and bustling family life. Today, the image that “Swillburg” brings to mind has changed yet again: a neighborhood of homes nestled amidst successful restaurants, bars, and shops, which rivals any other area of the city.

Located on a quiet side street, amidst other well-kept residences, the charming 1890 Victorian cottage at 51 Seager Street retains much of its historic character within the newest incarnation of the Swillburg neighborhood.

A small porch and a bright red door greet you at the front of the house. Once inside, the home’s incredible features immediately stand out. The main portion of the first floor is comprised of two large rooms that flow well as living and dining areas, and a smaller, third space, which can function as an office or first-floor bedroom. All of these areas boast original hardwood floors, original metal heating grates, and painted trim.

In a tightly-packed neighborhood like this, a private driveway or garage is a coveted asset.

This home has both, with the driveway leading to a concrete-block, one-car garage. A fully fenced backyard provides privacy and a great space to entertain.

A side-porch off the driveway offers a sheltered entrance into the kitchen. The original, pristine tin ceiling in the kitchen is a rare find, and the whole room benefits from its presence. Modern appliances, new cabinetry and countertops, and a stainless steel double sink make this kitchen functional and handsome. The pantry has been converted into a practical powder room.

The second floor includes two bedrooms.

Another exceptional find in a house of this time period is the updated bathroom, which offers modern amenities and plenty of space to maneuver.

51 Seager Street is a perfect example of what the Swillburg neighborhood has become: a comfortable place to call home that has retained its past, while embracing the positive changes of the future. It has approximately 1,287 square feet of living space and is listed at $109,900.

Fun

[ rehabilitating mr. wiggles ] BY neil swaab

[ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD In a world of advancing technology and declining map-reading skills, some GPS navigator users blindly over-rely on the devices, and News of the Weird has reported enough of their predicaments to mark the category “no longer weird.” However, three Japanese students on holiday near Brisbane, Australia, in March created a new standard for ignoring common sense.

Bound for North Stradbroke Island (about eight miles offshore), the driver (according to authorities cited by the local Bayside Bulletin) apparently put maps and eyesight aside, in favor of the all-powerful Navigator, which had instructed him to proceed. As news spread on the Internet, photographers rushed to capture the car, half-buried in sand. (In the students’ defense, the beach seemed to extend to the horizon at low tide -- although the word “island” might have deserved more respect.) [Bayside Bulletin (Cleveland, Australia), 3-15-2012]

The Continuing Crisis

— The entire village (almost!) of Sodeto, Spain, shared the grand prize in the country’s huge Christmas lottery in December, earning each of the 70 households the equivalent of at least $130,000. The joint buy-in of tickets is a town ritual, but one resident missed the canvassing: filmmaker Costis Mitsotakis, who said he was happy that everyone else was happy. (The dark side of winning: Hucksters flooded the town from all over the country.)

[New York Times, 1-31-2012] — The town of Betws-y-Coed, Wales, holds the distinction of having its name likely butchered by more misspellings on Internet search inquiries than any other. Website managers told BBC News in February that they have compiled a list of 364 different spellings from people ostensibly looking for the town. The most common references were to “Bwtsy Code” and “Betsy Cowed.”

[BBC News, 2-16-2012] — Anthony McDaniel, 47, voluntarily returned to North Carolina from his new

home in Texas in February after being charged with embezzlement by his old employer. The owner of Fayetteville’s Skibo Skillet (now out of business) accused McDaniel of having pocketed meatballs, corn on the cob and anchovy dip while he worked there. [Greensboro News-Record, 2-23-2012] — Make Yourselves at Home: (1) Keith Davis, 46, was caught red-handed in Ashley Murray’s house in South Bend, Ind., in February and charged with burglary.

Murray, though, said she had mixed feelings because, while there, Davis had folded Murray’s clothes and vacuumed the house.

(Police said that some drug or other had made Davis believe he was in his own home.) (2) Officials at the county courthouse in Charlotte, N.C., were startled to learn in January that Paul Frizzell, 30, had commandeered a vacant office in the building and for two months had been running his business out of it (with telephone, copy machine and bulletin board, among other trappings).

People With Issues

Now in its third season, the TLC cable channel’s series “My Strange Addiction” continues to raise the bar for News of the Weird stories. This season’s highlights include the man sexually attracted to his car, plus women who surround themselves with mothballs or eat cat food or drink nail polish or dig into their ears or eat adhesive tape. In one episode, “Ayanna,” 54, who has not cut her fingernails in three decades, reports that she has recently been cultivating her toenails, which are now 4 inches long and hampering her use of shoes. Another episode this season features Sheyla Hershey, mentioned in News of the Weird four weeks ago after she credited her gigantic breast implants with cushioning her body during a recent car crash.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 34 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let an old flame cause you to second-guess what you should do next. If you are uncertain about the way someone feels, ask. You can change the dynamics of a relationship by taking control and revealing your intentions. Don’t put up with a fickle partner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get out and have some fun. Your attitude will attract someone special.

Participating in events, activities or groups you enjoy will result in greater romantic opportunities.

Aggressive behavior will help you come across as a confident, secure and worthy partner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It will be impossible to hide your emotions. You deserve to be treated better by the person you love.

A change of heart will lead to a lover who is out to please you.

Look at the total package, not just what’s on the outside.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t sit at home or you will miss out on a chance to meet someone unusual. Your intuition won’t steer you wrong when it comes to love. Make the first move.

Progressive action will impress the right partner.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll have difficulty deciding who

you want to be with. Too much choice and a need to try every flavor can lead to nothing. Listen to what’s being offered, and you will realize that one of your candidates for love will have something you find irresistible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Aggressive behavior will be frowned upon. Back up and give your partner some space. A nonchalant approach will be far more enticing to someone with the kind of qualities you are looking for. Patience will be needed if you plan to win.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You won’t be able to make up your

mind when it comes to love. Your flirtatious appeal will attract all sorts of potential partners, but not all will be worth your while.

Don’t jump to any conclusions without taking a good look at all your options.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll have plenty of opportunity to meet someone through networking functions or industry events.

Your creative approach to love and romance will attract someone with unusual talents, but don’t count on this person having the same morals as you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Instability is apparent when it

comes to love and romance. You are likely to attract someone who is overly possessive or emotionally unstable. Before you move too fast, consider the consequences. The possibility of being stalked can put a damper on your love life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have plenty of choices and will probably want to take each one for a test drive. Avoid making promises or leading someone on. It’s better to be fair and honest right from the beginning if you want to make a connection that will last.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A serious partnership will bring you good fortune. Make it clear how you feel and what your plans hold. Once you find common ground, the rest will be history. A change in the way you live will bring emotional and financial benefits.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A secret affair will not bring you the satisfaction you desire. You have to end one relationship before you begin another. Tying up your time with a part-time lover will cause you to miss out on the real deal with someone worthy of your company.
