A legend in her own time, Mahalia Jackson (1911-1972) continues to be celebrated as a pioneer of gospel tradition. Her impassioned contralto was one of the most memorable voices of the 20th century, inspiring individuals for whom gospel represented the only true music, as well as the general public.
Throughout her life Jackson remained solely committed to gospel, declining to explore other means of vocal expression. Yet her rousing, soulful, and gut-wrenching renditions drawn from the church repertoire provided the creative impetus for musicians of all stripes, including performers of rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Little Richard called her "the true queen of spiritual singers."
The African-American Repertory Theatre (AART), under the artistic direction of Derome Scott Smith, invites you to experience the unbridled joy and profound spirituality of Mahalia Jackson's life in song with AART's season opener Mahalia: A Gospel Musical.

Free.
Woody Holton, associate professor of history at the University of Richmond, will discuss and sign his latest book. Abigail Adams not only offers a surprising new perspective on the famous events of Adams’s life but demonstrates that family dramas—from unplanned pregnancies to untimely deaths (three of Abigail’s five children died before she did)—could be just as heartbreaking, significant, and inspiring.
The untold story of Adams’s domestic struggles often reads like a Jane Austen novel, and Holton, the winner of numerous prizes for his previous books, is just the person to tell it. A beautifully written, nuanced portrait of an undoubtedly complicated and fascinating woman, the book sheds new light on a much beloved icon of American history and brings the modern reader to a better understanding of one of the best-known but least understood characters on the country’s early political stage.

Works by Sandra Doore and Emily Beveridge
Show closes on Friday, January 1st.
Sandra Doore was born in Basel, Switzerland. She received a BFA from the University of Victoria in 2003 and an MFA degree at the San Diego State University, California (2007) where she also taught at the undergraduate level. For the past few years her interest in consumer culture and how it affects our sense of self has influenced her art making.
EMILY BEVERIDGE: http://www.etsy.com/shop/emilybeveridge
Using spray paint, acrylic, and marker, my work tends to have a childlike, naïve quality to it. Yet the images are rich with symbolism and subversion. Many of the pieces are symmetrical, which contrasts nicely and gives order to the more whimsical elements. Themes that are often explored in my work are animals, tragic humor, and personal memories.

ANTISEEN - http://www.antiseen.com/
Most bands are lucky to make it twenty-five minutes. ANTISEEN is TWENTY FIVE years old. That they managed to sustain without suckling from the swollen udders of the fat corporate cow makes the their longevity all that much more impressive. Factor in their abrasive sound, controversial lyrics and confrontational live show, and their longevity is amazing.

Flobots - http://flobots.com/
When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, and a classically trained violist the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop. Progressive in both style and message, the band’s ability to drop from symphonic rock-infused crescendos into stripped-down string-laden breakbeats has earned Flobots a reputation for both originality and authenticity.
Armed with musicianship, intelligence, and an ingrained sense of rebellion, Flobots are looking to engage a new musical culture, one mind at a time. If you are thinking, you are winning.
