Lani Hall Watch Livestream

Join pianist, music director, and Steinway Artist Ric’key Pageot performing and discussing his new educational initiative and documentary project "Classic Black" celebrating Black excellence in Classical music showcasing historically significant symphonic composers of African descent spanning the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

Montreal-born pianist, accordionist, producer, composer, music director and Steinway Artist Ric’key Pageot will perform and discuss his documentary project "Classic Black" about the often-forgotten Black symphonic composers spanning the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Since 2008, Ric'key has toured with Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Cher and Diana Ross. When he is not touring around the world, Pageot is leading his band Parlor Social with his wife Dessy Di Lauro. Together they have designed a new and unique genre of original music they call Speakeasy-soul/Prohibition Funk, which seamlessly blends the styles of 1920-30’s Harlem renaissance jazz with today's contemporary urban sounds.

Nexus: Ethnomusicology and Education

Alan P. Merriam once remarked on the presence of a few scattered teachers in SEM working at the cusp of ethnomusicology, and had referred to them as “sandbox ethnomusicologists.” More recently, there appears to be change of heart within the field of ethnomusicology that includes attention to (1) the musical agency of children (and as such, children as important contributors to the study of music in cultures and communities), (2) teachers as collaborators with ethnomusicologists in school and community work, and (3) research by ethnomusicologists and educators together on pedagogical approaches to the development of intercultural understanding in and through music. I offer observations of ethnomusicology’s evolving commitment, often through collaborative efforts with teachers, to understanding and activating on questions of music, education, and culture for learners of every age, experience, and circumstance.
