SUMMARY:42nd Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Convocation
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThe Martin Luther King Jr. Convocation honors and celebrates Dr. King’s legacy while addressing the ongoing struggles for equity\, justice\, and freedom. This year’s keynote will feature Larry McDonald\, a legendary reggae percussionist whose life and career have been defined by rhythm\, culture\, and the power of music to unite people. \nMcDonald has been a musical collaborator with Taj Mahal\, Peter Tosh\, Gil Scott-Heron\, Lee “Scratch” Perry\, The Skatalites\, and many more. Rooted in the vibrant sounds of Jamaica\, he expanded his musical journey through time in Trinidad\, Mexico\, North Oakland\, and many other locations before ultimately settling in New York. With each step\, McDonald carries a profound respect for the Caribbean’s cultural heritage and a vision of music as a bridge across borders\, generations\, and struggles for justice. \nMcDonald will be joined by other New York City and Santa Cruz’s own musicians. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Korean Experimental Music Festival—Featuring the National Gugak Center and Del Sol Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The National Gugak Center—Korea’s foremost institution for traditional music—joins forces with the Bay Area’s acclaimed Del Sol String Quartet to offer California audiences a rare and resonant experience.

In two additional performances on Sat.\, Nov. 15\, traditional Korean wind instruments—the piri\, saenghwang\, and daegeum—are transformed through real-time computer sound processing into a striking electroacoustic experience. \nThe festival culminates a two-year collaboration among the National Gugak Center\, the UC Santa Cruz Music Department\, UC Berkeley’s Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT)\, and Stanford’s Department of Music and Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).

SUMMARY:Korean Experimental Music Festival—Featuring the National Gugak Center and Del Sol Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The National Gugak Center—Korea’s foremost institution for traditional music—joins forces with the Bay Area’s acclaimed Del Sol String Quartet to offer California audiences a rare and resonant experience. The festival blends traditional Korean musical practices\, Western classical instrumentation\, and cutting edge music technology in the world premiere of a over 20 newly commissioned works by faculty and graduate student composers from UC Santa Cruz\, UC Berkeley\, and Stanford University. \nTwo concerts on Fri.\, Nov. 14 feature a first-of-its-kind ensemble pairing two gayageums—Korea’s zither-like string instrument—with a Western string quartet. In two additional performances on Sat.\, Nov. 15\, traditional Korean wind instruments—the piri\, saenghwang\, and daegeum—are transformed through real-time computer sound processing into a striking electroacoustic experience. \nThe festival culminates a two-year collaboration among the National Gugak Center\, the UC Santa Cruz Music Department\, UC Berkeley’s Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT)\, and Stanford’s Department of Music and Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). We hope you enjoy these concerts of new works shaped by deep intercultural dialogue and inspired by the enduring legacy of traditional Korean music. \n—\nADMISSION\n– Open admission/first-come\, first-served seating (no ticket required)\n– Free and open to the public\n– Doors are scheduled to open 30 minutes prior to event start time\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS \nKorean Experimental Music Festival includes two-days of events at UC Santa Cruz\, each with two back-to-back concerts\, including: \nKEMF: Traditional Korean Gayageum with String Quartet Part I\nFri.
