On Dissonance (An Evening of Classical, Symphonic and Opera Works)

Eldorado ballroom curated by solange knowles for saint heron, thu / oct 10, 2024 - 8:00pm.

Featuring the works of Julia Perry, Patrice Rushen, and Solange Knowles

• Solange KNOWLES
• “Not Necessarily In Arms Reach”
• Patrice RUSHEN
• Intermission
• Short Piece for Orchestra
• Homunculus C.F.
• Stabat Mater
• Jeri Lynne Johnson , conductor
• Zoie Reams , mezzo-soprano

About this Performance

Focusing on the profound influence of Black women’s orchestral and operatic innovations, this full orchestra performance pays tribute to Black women composers in classical and opera music. The evening will showcase works by the renowned late composer and educator Julia Perry, alongside symphonic and orchestral works composed by Patrice Rushen and Solange Knowles. The evening will be conducted by Jerri Lynne Johnson, the founder and Artistic Director of the Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra, a professional ensemble in Philadelphia, and will feature soprano vocalist Zoie Reams.

Julia Perry’s remarkable compositions pushed the boundaries of dissonance and modern technique. In 1965, the New York Philharmonic performed her “Short Piece for Orchestra,” marking the first time a composition by a Black woman—and only the third by any woman—was featured in the orchestra’s history. Perry's works blended neo-classical style with Black and African spiritual influences, and she also fascinatingly wrote operas inspired by the Salem witch trials, a revolutionary act during those times. The audience will experience the dynamic orchestral qualities of selected pieces from Perry’s extensive repertoire, including Stabat Mater , featuring soprano Zoie Reams.

Titled “On Dissonance,” the program’s name is a reference to the tonal qualities of Homunculus C.F. , Perry’s composition for harp, celesta/piano, and eight percussionists, which she created in the summer of 1960 in Akron, Ohio, above her father’s medical office. This piece pays homage to Perry’s pioneering work in minimalism, which was composed years before canonical early minimalist pieces. As part of Saint Heron’s mission to preserve the legacies of Black women creators, the performance aims to revive these important yet often overlooked works.

The orchestra will also perform four-time Grammy winner Patrice Rushen’s dynamic symphonic piece Sinfonia . Known for her influential R&B hits and role as Ambassador of Artistry In Education at Berklee College of Music, Rushen describes her classical compositions as “sonic landscapes with peaks and valleys.”

Solange Knowles will make her U.S. compositional debut with "Not Necessarily In Arms Reach", a recent composition for two tubas. This work draws inspiration from repetition, gospel vocal arrangements, sonic minimalism, and Black Southern marching bands. This rare presentation of Perry, Rushen, and Knowles’ classical works bridges the gap between a rich historical legacy and contemporary innovation, offering powerful insights into Black women’s contributions and voices in classical music.

Programs, artists, dates, prices, and availability subject to change. Ticket limits may apply. All sales are final.

Let's dive into the fascinating world of historical storytelling!

• Incorporate Multimedia Elements: Enhance your history presentation with multimedia elements such as images, videos, and audio clips. Visual aids not only make your presentation visually appealing but also help reinforce the historical context, making the information easier to remember. (Reference: University of Michigan - Center for Research on Learning and Teaching )
• Interactive Timeline: Create an interactive timeline that showcases key events, significant figures, and historical milestones. You can use digital tools or traditional poster boards to present the timeline, allowing your audience to visualize the chronological progression of historical events. (Reference: Education World - Interactive Timelines: A Powerful Tool for Student Projects )
• Role-Play and Reenactment: Bring history to life by incorporating role-play and reenactment. Encourage your classmates or family members to portray historical figures and act out important scenes, making the presentation immersive and memorable. (Reference: Scholastic - Teach the Way They Learn: Role-Playing as a Teaching Tool )
• Historical Artifacts Display: If possible, include authentic or replicas of historical artifacts related to your topic.

Top 10 Absolutely Free History Presentation Templates for Educators

Most students are not huge fans of history; they find the subject boring. The major reason for this disinterest is that teachers and lecturers ramble about historical events without delving into the context and stories. Rote and mindless memorization of names, places, dates, and events is overwhelming for students, making studying this subject tedious. 

However, with the right teaching techniques, educators can pique students’ interest and encourage them to view the subject more positively. In this context, an engaging presentation can make a huge difference. With the help of impressive slides, you can portray the big picture and significance of historical events in the form of a visual narrative, which students are likely to retain for longer.

In this article, we have covered how history classes can be made interesting by using pre-designed presentation templates and the best free templates that educators can use.

Benefits of Using Pre-Designed Templates for History Classes 

1. boosts student engagement.

The pre-designed templates boast dynamic and animated design elements that let you present historical information in a fun way, making learning enjoyable and interactive for students with diverse learning styles.

2. Enhances Visual Learning

The high-definition graphics, images, and icons related to historical timelines, figures, and events instantly capture the students’ attention and help them visualize the world decades or centuries ago. They learn to connect the dots to derive meaning from historical events and evidence. This visual learning makes them more inclined toward the subject. 

3. Better Understanding of Complex Topics

Presentations empower you to present information in a logical and structured way, which helps students follow and understand the concept quickly. Further, by incorporating multimedia elements such as audio clips, videos, and documentary excerpts, teachers can bring their history presentations to life and simplify complex topics.

4. Promotes Critical Thinking

Through presentations, you can engage students in debates about historical interpretations and encourage them to analyze historical sources. These activities develop and enhance students’ critical thinking skills, igniting their interest in exploring the subject more deeply.

5. Helps Effectively Utilize the Class Time

In traditional settings, teachers can impart only limited information during class time due to students’ lack of focus. However, by delivering lessons through presentations, teachers can keep students focused and cover topics comprehensively within the available time. The information presented through visuals is better processed and retained.

What makes a good history presentation?

I have my first real presentation on a historical topic this Thursday (specifically the depiction of the Galatians in books 37 and 38 of Livy). Regardless of the subject, this has led me to the question: what makes a good presentation to each of you? What can a presenter do to make you want to hear what he or she has to say, even if you know nothing about the topic? Conversely, what is it that just bores you to tears and makes you wait for the talk to be over?

Personally, I find presentations impossible to follow and essentially pointless if I don't have at least a fundamental grasp of the basics of what is being discussed. As a listener I like to approach presentations quite critically and decide for myself whether I agree or disagree with the presenter's conclusions; but if I'm not provided with a clear introduction to the topic, I can get lost in arguments and details pretty quickly.

What about you? How do you think someone can make a presentation on history more accessible and interesting?

5 Quick Google Slides History Presentation Slide Design Tips for 2024

1. Leave the Designing to the Experts

The ultimate goal is to get your hands on that perfect template, add your content, and finish creating the presentation in record time. Besides saving time, a premium presentation template helps you:

2. Stay Minimal

Most professional templates from Envato Elements have a minimalistic design approach. All you've got to do is divide your content across the slides without them looking crowded.

Here are a few tips on how to keep your slides minimalistic: 

• Stick to the template's color themes or use only a few colors if you need to customize.
• Stick to bullet points or visuals. Avoid paragraphs. 
• Don't add more design elements.
• Maintain a lot of white space.

3. Use Visual Graphics

Visuals like images, videos, or infographics are easier to understand and recall. Take note of data or information that you can turn into visuals before starting your presentation creation. Be sure to mix up the use of visuals, so each slide looks different from the other. 

4. Use Customer Image Masks

Custom image masks are a quick way to add some creativity to any presentation. Thanks to image place holders and custom image masks, all you've got to do is drag and drop your images to where you want them. Square or rectangle-shaped photos are a thing of the past!
