SUMMARY:Virtual Premiere: Rearranging the Planets
DESCRIPTION:During two sold-out nights this February\, Creative Assembly Cohort member Steve Lands debuted Rearranging the Planets. Experience the magic of this momentous presentation during a virtual premiere of the program on Wednesday\, April 20\, at 7 pm. \nWith his original composition\, Lands uses Gustav Holst’s influential orchestral suite The Planets as a jumping off point to explore the varied relationships civilizations have had to the heavens over time. While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nFeaturing Shea Pierre; Alfred Jordan\, Jr.; Xavier Molina; Max Moran; John Maestas; Gladney; Amari Ansari; and Cubs the Poet. With additional credits to Francis Wong\, Camille Lenain\, Meghan Stewart\, and Amina Scott. \nSet a Reminder to Watch on YouTube \n\n\nPerformance Credits and Performer Bios\n\n\n\n\nSteve Lands\nHailing from the city of Baton Rouge\, Louisiana\, Steve Lands has been swaying stages\, clubs\, bars\, museums\, houses-of-worship\, and studios the world over for more than a decade now. He’s got the kind of skill that can only be gained from working with great artists from all walks of life. His experience ranges from shows with R&B/gospel Grammy winner PJ Morton; doing festivals with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; and tours through Europe with Swiss pianist and composer Florian Favre to studio sessions with the Black Keys; jamming in DC with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters; playing in big bands with Ellis\, Jason\, Branford\, and Delfeayo Marsalis; and doing a tribute to David Bowie with Arcade Fire. Courage and care are his motivations for music and he’s got more than enough of both to give you a sonic fantasy.\n\n\n\n\nShea Pierre\nA native of New Orleans\, Louisiana\, Shea Pierre started his musical journey at the age of 4. He joined his family’s gospel group\, the Williams Sisters\, and began playing for various churches in the New Orleans area. He later attended the prestigious New Orleans Center of Creative Arts\, where he studied with Michael Pellera\, Chris Severin\, Ellis Marsalis\, and Jason Marsalis. While in high school\, he toured parts of South Africa with the Batiste Brothers Band from New Orleans. Shea is a 2014 graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music\, where he studied jazz piano with Dan Wall. He continues to travel and engage in different projects throughout the Midwest.\n\n\n\n\nAlfred Jordan Jr.\nBorn in New Orleans in 1993\, Alfred Jordan Jr.’s parents noticed the gift that was on their son. Growing up in church\, gospel music played a huge part in molding him as a drummer. Alfred’s skill sprouted\, awarding him a full scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music graduating with a B.A. Alfred’s love for music turned into his profession\, landing his gig as the current drummer for Big Sam’s Funky Nation and has also been fortunate to work with Donald Harrison\, Christian Scott\, Nicholas Payton\, Kent Jordan as well as his collective projects NwaSoul Project and Bignatiouss. Alfred is forever grateful knowing this is “for the love of music.”\n\n\n\n\nXavier Molina\nWe have watched Xavier Molina grow as an artist since 2006 when he first picked up the trumpet. Xavier has blossomed into a singer/songwriter\, drummer and trumpeter with a heart dedicated to making great music. Xavier has played with several independent bands in the New Orleans\, Atlanta and Alabama areas\, and never ceases to amaze the audiences anywhere.\n\n\n\n\nMax Moran\nMax Moran is a Louisiana born musician and composer who has become a first-call bassist across several genres in New Orleans’ thriving music scene.

A 6th generation native of New Orleans’s Lower 9th Ward\, Gladney has performed and traveled professionally since the age of 12.

The Nightcrawler King: Memoirs of an Art Museum Curator is a narrative of Fagaly’s life told in two parts: first\, his childhood experiences and\, second\, his transformation into an adult art museum curator and administrator in Louisiana. \nOffering a rare and revealing inside look at how the art world works\, Fagaly documents his fifty years of experience of work—unusually spent at a single institution\, the New Orleans Museum of Art. During this period\, he played an active role in the discovery and appreciation of new areas of art\, particularly African\, self-taught\, and avant-garde contemporary. He organized numerous significant art exhibitions that traveled to museums across the country and authored the accompanying catalogs. \n\n  \n                                                \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by the Zemurray Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; The City of New Orleans; IBERIABANK; The Wagner Foundation; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; the Diversifying Art Museum Leadership Initiative\, funded by the Walton Family Foundation and the Ford Foundation; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.
