Sunday, Feb. 22, 7-8p. Libby Gardner Hall, 1375 President's Circle. Free.
Faculty trumpeter Anne McNamara teams up with pianist Lawrence Gee and organist Linda Margetts for an energizing performance. The program includes Petr Eben's "Windows for Trumpet and Organ," inspired by Marc Chagall's stained glass windows in the Hebrew University synagogue in Jerusalem. Eben remarked, "the solemness of the large panes of stained glass made me imagine the sound of the organ and the intensity and brilliance of the sheaves of bright colors called for the shrill tone of the trumpet." Also featured is Libby Larsen's "Ridge Runner," which refers to a slang term for audacious Americans, reminding Larsen of the daring spirit of the solo trumpeter! The concert also includes a standard from the trumpet repertoire Eric Ewazen's Sonata for Trumpet and Piano and Kevin McKee's "A Winter's Night."

Main City Library, 210 E 400 S.
Brenda is on a mission to disrupt the cycle of neglect, violence, and exploitation endured by girls and women in inner-city Chicago. On any given day, she's performing interventions with at-risk teenagers, female prisoners, and prostitutes on street corners. She uses unconditional love, non-judgmental support, practical help-whatever it takes for them to change their own lives. But the most powerful weapon in Brenda's healing arsenal is the raw honesty she can offer because she's been where they are. For 25 years, she survived as a drug-addicted prostitute, even recruiting innocents into the "lifestyle" and abandoning her own children.
