Sunday, November 8
7pm Weyerhaeuser Memorial Chapel
Fred Ho, world-reknowned composer, saxophonist, intellectual, and activist, will present a performance/reading/lecture. This event is free and open to the public.
Fred's visit to Macalester, sponsored by our Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program, is part of a tour to celebrate the publication of his new book, Wicked Theory, Naked Practice by the University of Minnesota Press. Fred was last here four years ago, as part of the "Caliente! Circle Around the Sun" poetry and music program with Magdalena Gomez and Raul Salinas. He is perhaps best known in the Twin Cities for his composition "All Power to the People! The Black Panther Suite," performed by his Afro-Asian Music Ensemble at the Walker Art Center in 2000, and for his organization of an Immigrant Labor Cultural Cabaret featuring rank-and-file members of HERE Local 17 at the Cedar Cultural Center, supported by a McKnight Artist Residency, in 2001. As a composer and performer, Fred has been all over the United States and the world since the mid-1980s, collaborating with poets, playwrights, performance artists, dancers, martial artists, and, of course, other musicians. He is the leader on nine recorded CD's and a DVD, the author of four books and numerous articles, and the subject of several scholarly articles. At the conclusion of his performance on Sunday evening, there will be a reception in the 4th floor lounge of Old Main to which everyone is invited. For more information, please contact Peter Rachleff, at 651-696-6371 or rachleff@macalester.edu.
