FOR THE FUTURE: THE SUSAN B. ANTHONY HISTORIC DISTRICT (MUSIC, ART AND ACTION)

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2020
2:00 PM 3:00 PM

fivebyfive will be starting our season focused on the Rochester community, teaming up with ROCmusic Collaborative, the Susan B. Anthony Neighborhood, and the Landmark Society for a collaborative virtual program, For the Future: The Susan B. Anthony Historic District (Music, Art, and Action) Sunday November 8th at 2pm.
This event will feature the world premiere of music composed for the event by Mina Esary in collaboration with the ROCmusic students, performed by fivebyfive and the students. This new work will be the catalyst for a community talk-back about the complicated dimensions of the suffrage movement: the history of the movement, who was included, who was excluded, and what work is still needed.
Community talk-back panelists include:
Jean Elisabeth Pedersen – Associate Professor of History at the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester
Deborah Hughes – President and CEO of the Susan B. Anthony Museum and House
Cona Marshall – Assistant Professor in Religious Studies and African and African American Studies at the University of Rochester
Kathryn Murano Santos – Senior Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the Rochester Museum and Science Center

The event will be virtual and will feature three parts:
1) A video premiere of a new work by composer Mina Esary which will feature students from the ROCMusic Collaborative with fivebyfive
2) A community talkback
3) An optional socially distanced neighborhood walk in the Susan B. Anthony district
