SUMMARY:Lecture: Andrew Brooks\, "Hearing The Star of Ethiopia: Reconstruc
 ting the Music of W. E. B. Du Bois's Pageant"
LOCATION:W. E. B. Du Bois Library
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here.\n\nWhat did W. E. B. Du Bois’s The Star of Ethiopia
  sound like? Working across multiple archives and collections\, this talk
  brings together dispersed cue sheets\, manuscript scores\, programs\, co
 rrespondence\, newspapers\, and other records in an attempt to reconstruc
 t portions of the pageant’s music. Through that reconstruction\, I ask ho
 w music shaped the pageant’s staging of Black history and what attending 
 to The Star of Ethiopia as a musical and performative event can reveal ab
 out Du Bois’s developing political-aesthetic thought in the 1910s-1920s.\
 n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nAndrew Zahed-Brooks is a PhD candidate in the W. E. B. 
 Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachu
 setts Amherst and a W. E. B. Du Bois Center Fellow. His dissertation exam
 ines Black historical pageantry and its transformation across changing po
 litical\, economic\, and technological conditions\, tracing a trajectory 
 from music in W. E. B. Du Bois’s pageants\, through Amiri Baraka’s collab
 orations with Sun Ra and Archie Shepp\, to contemporary work by artists i
 ncluding Beyoncé and Arthur Jafa.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/83f24bc3
