Gabriella Ghermandi is an Ethiopian-Italian singer, performer, novelist, and short-story writer.  Her performance “Queen of Flowers and Pearls” is a powerful and intimate narrative that weaves together personal history, literature, and music. Rooted in her autobiographical novel, the performance explores the legacy of Italian colonialism in Ethiopia, as experienced by her maternal family, and recounts the journey of Mahlet, a young Ethiopian girl who promises to carry her people's stories to the land of the Italians.

Brad Edwards, Gail Novak, and Deana Swoboda will present pieces with feathers or by composers whose names begin with a B: Busser, Bernstein and Bozza.

The program will include a premiere of Edwards' new piece, "Hope is the thing with feathers" for trombone and fixed media based on the same-named poem by Emily Dickenson.  Dr. Swoboda will join Edwards in a clever little piece by Inez McComas titled, "The Middle Pigeons." The program will include The Mourning Dove composed by Megumi Kanda, Principal Trombonist of the Milwaukee Symphony.
