Founding members Moody and Mehta along with New York-based Masse continue to create some of the most exciting music on the folk-roots scene\, stepping up their musical game with each critically lauded recording and thrilling audiences with their renowned live performances. \nIn 2004\, The Wailin’ Jennys released their first full-length album 40 Days to great critical acclaim\, netting a 2005 Juno Award (Canadian Grammy) for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. Bolstered by their frequent appearances on Garrison Keillor’s public radio show A Prairie Home Companion\, The Jennys exploded onto the roots music scene\, performing at packed venues across the Canada\, the U.S. and throughout the world.  \nThe Jennys’ sophomore album\, 2006’s Firecracker\, served as a powerful follow-up to their career-making debut. Artistically\, the record found The Jennys stepping out of the folk realm and into the world of alt-country\, pop and rock. Garnering much attention\, it was nominated for a Juno Award and won a 2007 Folk Alliance Award for Contemporary Release of the Year. Firecracker had legs\, spending over 56 weeks on the Billboard charts. \n The trio’s 2009 release\, Live at Mauch Chunk Opera House\, also spent over a year on the Billboard bluegrass charts. That landmark live album bottled the lightning of The Jennys’ live performances with show-stopping harmonies\, impressive instrumental prowess\, breathtaking songs and\, of course\, witty stage banter.  \nFor their latest album\, 2011’s Juno-winning Bright Morning Stars\, The Wailin’ Jennys joined the ranks of Lucinda Williams and Emmylou Harris and recorded with award-winning producer Mark Howard. Co-produced by frequent Jennys collaborator and Juno Award-nominated David Travers-Smith\, the album combines fresh and innovative sounds with the band’s signature harmonies — a perfect mix of Americana\, pop and traditional folk that is destined to be a modern classic. \nAlthough known primarily as an acoustic outfit\, The Wailin’ Jennys have a diverse musical background that has shaped their musical sensibilities. Soprano Ruth Moody (vocals\, guitar\, accordion\, banjo\, bodhrán) is a classically trained vocalist and pianist with a burgeoning solo career. She made a splash in 2010 with the Juno-nominated The Garden which was followed up with 2013’s gorgeous These Wilder Things. She’s  an accomplished\, versatile singer of traditional and Celtic music and as the former lead singer of Juno-nominated roots band Scruj MacDuhk. Mezzo Nicky Mehta (vocals\, guitar\, harmonica\, drums\, ukulele)\, a classically trained dancer raised on ’70s a.m. radio and heavily influenced by alternative pop\, was nominated for a Canadian Indie Music Award for her  striking debut solo album\, 2002’s Weather Vane. In July 2009 she became the proud mother to twin boys\, Beck and Finn. Alto Heather Masse (vocals\, upright bass) is a Jazz Voice graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music\, who has performed in Mark O’Connor’s Hot Swing\, Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings and is a regular guest on A Prairie Home Companion. She has also toured with her own band\, supporting her 2009 Red House release Bird Song. Her latest\, 2013’s Lock My Heart\, is an inspired album of jazz standards and originals with legendary pianist Dick Hyman. \nWith their varying backgrounds\, each of the Jennys is unique in their individual expression. Together they forge a unified folk-pop sound — all delivered with the irresistible vocal power of three. \n ”…perhaps more beautiful than ever. The Wailin’ Jennys are the darlings of the North American roots music arena.” Greg Quill\, The Toronto Star \n“Like three little birds singing softly\nand sweetly in the early morn\, the harmony of the Wailin’ Jennys\npleasantly rises from the speakers and greets the listener with a\nrefreshing start to the day.” David McPherson\, Exclaim!   \nWebsite: http://www.thewailinjennys.com/  URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/wailinjennys18/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/twj_hero21.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180218T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180218T175900 DTSTAMP:20260403T144558 CREATED:20180725T203648Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T203648Z UID:40810101239-1518958800-1518976740@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Tosca (Encore) DESCRIPTION:Sir David McVicar’s ravishing new production offers a splendid backdrop for two extraordinary sopranos sharing the title role of the jealous prima donna: Sonya Yoncheva (pictured above) and Anna Netrebko.

MILLER AKA DJ SPOOKY DESCRIPTION:To create his film Rebirth of a Nation\, Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky\, remixed D.W. Griffith’s 1915 epic film The Birth of a Nation. His re-telling of this overtly racist story depicted in the Reconstruction-era United States hurtles Griffith’s images into the 21st century. The original film was based on a novel and theater play by Thomas Dixon entitled. By applying DJ technique to cinema\, Miller’s new film parallels\, deconstructs and remixes the original. He likes to think of it as “film as found object” in the same sense that artists such as Marcel Duchamp\, Jeff Koons\, Andy Warhol and David Hammons\, among many others\, have fostered creative investigations into the idea of found objects\, cinema and “appropriation art.” \nThe event will feature a discussion led by Monmouth faculty from a variety of disciplines. Including: Johanna Foster (Sociology)\, Walter Greason (History)\, Mark Ludak (Photography) and Brook Nappi (Anthropology). The first half of the film will screen starting at 4:30 p.m. Faculty will lead a discussion in the middle of the event\, and the second half of the film will follow until 6:45 p.m. \nPaul D. Miller\, aka DJ Spooky\, is an established composer\, multimedia artist\, and author. He travels around the world performing solo\, with chamber groups\, and with orchestras\, while giving talks at prominent universities\, museums\, and conferences. His DJ Mixer app has seen more than 12 million downloads and in 2012- 2013 he was the first artist-in-residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. He is also the executive editor of ORIGIN Magazine. He’s produced and composed work for Yoko Ono\, Thurston Moore\, and scores of artists and award-winning films. Miller’s work as a media artist has appeared in the Whitney Biennial; The Venice Biennial for Architecture; the Ludwig Museum in Cologne\, Germany; Kunsthalle\, Vienna; The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh; and many other museums and galleries. He has been featured everywhere from CNN to SyFy. His new book The Imaginary App\, published by MIT Press\, was released in 2014.

Through this combination\, Dorfman inspires in her audience feelings of familiarity and unity\, creating dances that serve as metaphors for the greater truths of the human experience\, “In her works\, visual images become still photographs that capture and freeze certain universal truths…both reflect[ing] and engender[ing] a profound humanity.
