SUMMARY:Armed and Disguised: The Revolutionary Life of Deborah Sampson.
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 19 \n7 p.m.  \nthe Lydia Olson Library Atrium in Harden Hall \nAs part of its America 250 speaker series\, the Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center at Northern Michigan University will host a presentation titled  “Armed and Disguised: The Revolutionary Life of Deborah Sampson.” NMU History Associate Professor Emily Romeo will share the intriguing story of Sampson\, who fought for the U.S. Continental Army under the male alias of Robert Shurtliff. The event will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday\, March 19\, in the Lydia Olson Library Atrium in Harden Hall. It is free and open to the public. \nDuring a time where women were not permitted to serve in the army\, Sampson disguised herself as a man and fought in the American Revolutionary War for 17 months before being injured in a battle with locals in Tarrytown\, N.Y. Following her injury\, she was treated at a hospital for severe illness\, where her true gender identity was soon exposed to her general and fellow troops. \nRegardless of why she signed up\, Sampson earned the respect of her fellow soldiers and commanding officers\, challenging gender norms along the way. After the war\, she would learn to balance her multiple identities as wife and mother\, soldier and performer.  \nRomeo received her doctorate from the University of Chicago\, where she began her research on the lives of women in 17th- and early 18th-century America. Her work explores women’s expressions of violence in the context of the social\, cultural and religious upheavals of that period. \n

SUMMARY:NMU Jazz Fest Features The Westerlies
DESCRIPTION:The Westerlies\, a Grammy-nominated\, New York-based brass quartet\, will be the featured performer at the NMU Jazz Festival. The group will present the festival’s opening concert\, which also serves as a Siril Concert Series event\, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday\, March 19\, in Reynolds Recital Hall. The quartet will also join NMU’s Jazz Band and Jazz Combo for the closing concert on Friday\, March 20\, at the same time and location. \nIn addition to the performances\, The Westerlies will lead two guest artist clinics at 1 p.m. both days. These masterclasses are free and open to the public. \nThe Westerlies quartet is composed of Chloe Rowlands and Riley Mulherkar on trumpet\, and Addison Maye-Saxon and Andy Clausen on trombone. Their music mixes jazz\, new classical and Appalachian folk. Across multiple critically acclaimed studio albums\, the Westerlies have earned what DownBeat described as “a unique reputation for exploring the emotional textures of American music\,” championing living composers and collaborators. \nThey have also played in studio and live alongside artists from Common to Haley Heynderickx\, and on Grammy-nominated releases from both Fleet Foxes and Aoife O’Donovan. Learn more about The Westerlies here. \nRegistered high school and middle school bands will perform in scheduled time slots\, receive feedback\, work with festival clinicians and participate in jam sessions both days. Tickets for each evening concert during the festival are $12 for general admission and free for NMU students and those under 18. They can be purchased at the door or in advance at tickets.nmu.edu. \nNMU has presented numerous jazz clinics and concerts over the last 50 years\, but the current NMU Jazz Festival officially began in 1998\, when the NMU Friends of Jazz invited legendary trumpeter Clark Terry to perform with the NMU Jazz Band. Local high school bands also took part in clinics during the event\, and the strong response helped turn the festival into an annual tradition.
