Roseville, MN December 6, 2007 – Global Harmony has received a MetLife Creative Connections award from Meet The Composer. This is allowing us to invite Jim Berenholtz, composer/performer/ethnomusicologist as a composer-in-residence. Jim has been commissioned to compose a piece for us, using pre-Columbian instruments and vocal techniques. He is using ancient Mayan texts. Jim will be here for several rehearsals, as well as the performances (he will perform on some fascinating instruments!), and he will present a class on pre-Columbian music. |

Drawing
from his extensive travel experiences throughout the islands of the Pacific,
Jim will introduce the audience to a diverse realm of ritual creativity.
Beginning with a photographic presentation of ancient Pacific Island archaeology
in such locales as Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Te Fenua Enata (the Marquesas)
and Pohnpei, our journey will reach to the present with Rapa Nui's Tapati
Festival, and 3 Pacific Island Arts Festivals (Rarotonga - 1992, New Caledonia
- 2000, and Palau - 2004) that show amazing ceremonial dance and music
performances by native Polynesian, Melanesian and Micronesian peoples.
Jim will follow these images with live demonstrationson his large collection
of musical instruments (mostly various sorts of drums, percussion and
wind instruments with beautiful carved and painted designs) that come
from Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Rapa Nui, Tahiti,
the Marquesas, and Hawaii.
In Wilsey Court:
