SUMMARY:The Composer's Mind: La Folia Global - Omaha
DESCRIPTION:La Folia Global is a transcontinental musical journey that brings together Baroque repertoire and instruments with world music traditions whose roots intersect in the cultural crossroads of Renaissance Venice.

Featuring composer Valeri Tolstov and Crossroads Artistic Director Erik Higgins and hosted by Nebraska Public Media’s own Genevieve Randall\, this event offers an in-depth look at the music and the creative minds behind it. \nThis conversation precedes a concert by La Folia Global in the same location at 7:30 p.m. \nTickets for both the conversation and concert are free and can be reserved online via the Nebraska Crossroads Music Festival website. \nThis event is part of the Nebraska Crossroads Music Festival\, which encompasses events in Lincoln and Omaha on July 19\, July 24 -August 2\, and August 5.

SUMMARY:The Negro Motorist Green Book exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Negro Motorist Green Book offers an immersive look at the reality of travel for African Americans in mid-century America\, and how the annual guide served as an indispensable resource for the nation’s rising African American middle class. The exhibition includes artifacts such as historic footage\, images and firsthand accounts to convey not only the apprehension felt by African American travelers\, but also the resilience\, innovation and elegance of people fighting to live a full American existence.

In an era of Jim Crow laws and “sundown towns\,” The Green Book offered critical\, life-saving information and sanctuary. \nMuseum hours: Sunday\, Noon – 4PM; Tuesday-Saturday; 10AM-4PM; closed Mondays. \nAdmission free for members\, $15 for adults\, with discounts for seniors\, military members and veterans\, and children. \n

SUMMARY:EnChanted Images: The Voice of Sainte-Foy at Conques
DESCRIPTION:Across nearly a thousand years\, the Romanesque church of Sainte-Foy of Conques in France calls us to a bygone era of faith and sound.

In the eleventh century\, monks transformed her shrine into a bustling pilgrimage site through architecture\, sculpture\, and music. This program presents medieval chants from Sainte-Foy’s Festal Liturgy—heard again for the first time in modern performance—accompanied by images of the golden statue that houses her relics. \nPre-Concert Talk and Documentary 6:00 PM\nConcert 7:00-8:00 PM\nQ&A with the Audience to Follow \nFree registration is required.
