Brooklyn-based improviser-composer collective Tropos—featuring University of Michigan ’14 alum Yuma Uesaka—returns to Ann Arbor for a double bill with Kenji Lee’s Fortune Teller Trio. Rooted in the improvisational spirit of jazz and creative music while embracing the formal rigor and timbral curiosity of contemporary concert music, Tropos brings what critic Nate Chinen describes as an “engaging balance of precision and daring.” The set will feature new works alongside selections from Switches, developed through a workshop process with mentor Darius Jones. Fortune Teller Trio’s music similarly balances craft and spontaneity, making for an evening of thoughtfully composed forms, audacious improvisation, and shared musical values. Fortune Teller Trio features Kenji Lee (tenor saxophone), Andy Peck (double bass), and Jonathan Barahal Taylor (drums).

Archives are often imagined as dusty repositories of a community or country’s history, but building on its work to document Michigan and its oldest University, staff at the Bentley Library have changed that. Join us to hear former Bentley Director Fran Blouin discuss how Bentley archivists forged connections with colleagues in China, Denmark, post-apartheid South Africa, the Vatican, and many more countries and how those ties helped build both the Bentley and U-M’s international fame.

Refreshments will be provided.

The JonBenét Game by Tori Keenan-Zelt

It’s not whether you win or lose…

When best friends Molly and Rae were 12, they secretly played JonBenét Ramsey at sleepovers. Twenty years later, in the wake of Molly's tragic death, Rae returns to her hometown school as a guidance counselor. But when Molly’s 12-year-old daughter, Hazel, knocks on Rae’s door, she and Rae slide back into the game, and the dark and liminal spaces of their unresolved grief. Directed by Carla Milarch.
