Allison Loggins-Hull<\/p><\/div>\n

Allison Loggins-Hull will join the New Jersey Symphony on September 1 as its next Resident Artistic Partner. In this role, Loggins-Hull will partner with artistic leadership and add her unique perspective and experiences to the artistic planning process.<\/p>\n

In addition, her work\u00a0\u201cCan You See?,\u201d originally written for the New Jersey Symphony Chamber Players, will be presented in its full-orchestra version recently premiered by The Cleveland Orchestra during the Brahms and Chopin concerts in mid-February 2025. \u201cCan You See?\u201d\u00a0is a work\u00a0for a small ensemble of flute, French horn, strings, and percussion.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, Loggins-Hull has several other projects on her 2024 schedule.<\/p>\n

On April 5, 7 and 10 in Maryland, Boston and Philadelphia, Loggins-Hull will present performances of her project\u00a0\u201cDiametrically Composed.\u201d On April 10, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society will present \u201cDiametrically Composed\u201d at the American Philosophical Society\u2019s Benjamin Franklin Hall (427 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, www.pcmsconcerts.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The performance will feature Alicia Hall Moran, voice; Gabriela Martinez, piano; and Loggins-Hull, flute\/electronics.<\/p>\n

Conceived and produced by Loggins-Hull,\u00a0\u201cDiametrically Composed\u201d\u00a0is a collaboration between these three performing artists and composers Paola Prestini, Sarah Kirkland Snider, and Jessica Meyer. Their contributions reflect personal experiences, exploring diverse themes related to being a mother and an artist.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiametrically Composed\u201d is a collection of newly commissioned works featuring flute, voice, and piano exploring the duality of being a mother and an artist. Immediately after childbirth, it becomes clear that motherhood is multifaceted and life-changing. This new reality brings the joy of experiencing a newly created being and a powerful impact on creativity.<\/p>\n

Being an artist-mother is fulfilling, rewarding, and unpredictable \u2013 full of love, beauty, and constant learning. Caring for and cultivating the development of someone else\u2019s life is a privilege and artistically inspiring. While our children inform our art, our art informs our children and the steady current of energy generated from the two creates a distinct and flourished experience.<\/p>\n

While \u201cDiametrically Composed\u201d revels in the exuberance of being a mother and an artist, the work also confronts the notion that motherhood and professional life can be limiting factors in their interaction, in ways that fatherhood and professional life are not necessarily. The work aims to artistically probe and unpack this double standard.<\/p>\n

Reaching beyond the typical recital format, \u201cDiametrically Composed\u201d provides an immersive performance experience incorporating narratives from the women involved in the project. The program includes works by\u00a0Loggins-Hull,\u00a0Moran,\u00a0Prestini,\u00a0Snider, and\u00a0Meyer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to say the idea came about in 2017 when I saw a Facebook post by Sarah Kirkland Snider,\u201d said Loggins-Hull, during a phone interview Wednesday afternoon from an Amtrak Express as she travelled from North Jersey to College Park, Maryland.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was about a reaction she had to a review someone wrote about a piece by her \u2013 a review that mentioned she had a family. She was being judged for having a family.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wondered why she had this reaction \u2013 how we as women don\u2019t talk about our family life because we\u2019re not being taken seriously. What was really telling to me, not just the comments she made but other female musicians who posted on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that this was really sad that all these accomplished musicians were carrying around this fear. It\u2019s an anxiousness that come from this archaic philosophy about women being not as qualified as men.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loggins-Hull has been associated with acts across the spectrum of popular and classical music including Hans Zimmer, Lizzo, Imani Winds, Alarm Will Sound, the International Contemporary Ensemble. Her music is resonant with social and political themes of the current moment, encompassing motherhood, Blackness, and cultural identity.<\/p>\n

Loggins-Hull and Nathalie Joachim co-founded the duo Flutronix, which has been praised for \u201credefining the flute and modernizing its sound by hauling it squarely into the world of popular music.\u201d According to the Washington Post, Loggins-Hull is a \u201cpowerhouse\u201d flutist, composer, and producer whose work defies classification.<\/p>\n

\u201cI no longer have those concerns,\u201d said Loggins-Hull, as her train passed through Philadelphia and Wilmington. \u201cWhen I had my son, who is 14 now, I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d have to make a choice. When I started showing, people asked if I was going to continue with music and with grad school.\u201d<\/p>\n

The answer is obvious.<\/p>\n

Her signature style of composing for orchestra is characterized by unique sonic effects sometimes compared to the sounds of a synthesizer, while her themes draw deeply on community, culture and life experience. She is increasingly associated with Afrofuturism, a cultural movement blending African heritage with science fiction and technology, envisioning alternative futures and narratives of empowerment for people of African descent.<\/p>\n

Recent premieres include\u00a0\u201cBan\u201d\u00a0for flute\/piccolo\/digital stomp box and string quartet for Apollo Chamber Players;\u00a0\u201cSum of Our Parts,\u201d a new band work for a consortium led by Arizona State University Wind Ensemble; a chamber work for The Cleveland Orchestra; and\u00a0\u201cWonder,\u201d an orchestral work for the National Orchestral Institute. She is currently composing a Rhapsody for flute and orchestra to be performed by The Knights, Boston Symphony Orchestra and Seattle Symphony in 2025.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Loggins-Hull performed with Lizzo at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards Show and at the 2023 Met Gala, where she led an ensemble of flutists. As a performer on film scores, Loggins-Hull was co-principal flutist on the soundtracks for \u201cCreed III\u201d and Disney\u2019s 2019 remake of\u00a0\u201cThe Lion King.\u201d\u00a0She was a co-producer of Nathalie Joachim\u2019s celebrated album Fanm d\u2019Ayiti, which was nominated for a 2020 GRAMMY for Best World Music Album.<\/p>\n

On the small screen, she has been featured in an internationally broadcast ESPN Super Bowl commercial, the 62nd annual GRAMMYs Award Show and the Black Girls Rock! Awards Show. Continuing her work in film, Loggins-Hull composed the score for\u00a0\u201cBring Them Back,\u201d a 2019 award-winning documentary about the legendary dancer Maurice Hines directed by Jon Carluccio and executive produced by Debbie Allen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been working on \u2018Diametrically Composed\u2019 for a couple of years,\u201d said Loggins-Hull, who lives with her family in Montclair, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I got a team, Gabriella (Martinez) got pregnant, so we had to wait. Then, COVID happened. It didn\u2019t have its premiere until fall 2021 in an outdoor show at Bryant Park in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese three shows will be the first time to perform it indoors in a controlled space. I\u2019m really looking forward to these performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gretchen Emery Band<\/p><\/div>\n

This spring, the Gretchen Emery Band will be making music at both FAME and Jamey\u2019s.<\/p>\n

On April 6, the Gretchen Emery Band will headline a show at Jamey\u2019s House of Music (32 South Lansdowne Avenue, Lansdowne, 215-477-9985,www.jameyshouseofmusic.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the second time we\u2019ve headlined a show at Jamey\u2019s, and we\u2019ll have another show there later in the year,\u201d said Emery, during a phone interview Monday evening from her home in Newark, Delaware.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was first told about Jamey\u2019s by a friend back in pre-Covid. I got in touch with Jamey (Reilly), and he let us come in for an Open Blues Jam. After COVID was over, we played a Blues Jam again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like everything about Jamey\u2019s. As a performer, I like that Jamey makes it very easy and comfortable for the artists. The stage and the sound are already set up. You just have to walk in with your instrument and play. The sound system is great.<\/p>\n

\u201cJamey is a wonderful guy — very easy to work with. He\u2019s been very supportive. For audiences, it\u2019s a great place to see a show. It has good sound, free parking and great food \u2013 and he has a livestream option.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gretchen Emery Band\u2019s show this Saturday will be available on pay-per-view.<\/p>\n

Vocal powerhouse Emery\u00a0was recently honored with the 2023 award for \u201cBest Lead Singer\u201d by Delaware Valley Hometown Heroes. Her husband Kenny Windle is the band\u2019s guitarist and Emery\u2019s co-writer. The band also features Randy Waters (bass), Mike Leger (drums), and Frank Donato (keys).<\/p>\n

The Gretchen Emery\u00a0Band has toured steadily in the Mid-Atlantic region over the last four years. The band released its debut EP, \u201cIf Love Were Enough,\u201d in July 2022.<\/p>\n

The EP, which was released on a\/i\/r records, has been described as a \u201crootsy, soul-fueled mix of rockin\u2019 R&B\u2026. blending both traditional and contemporary influences, creating something that feels instantly familiar yet excitingly fresh at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, they are working on a new release on a\/i\/r records. Their most recent area show was at Stoney\u2019s Pub in Wilmington back on Thanksgiving Weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe took a break and sort of hibernated the last two months,\u201d said Emery, during a phone interview Tuesday afternoon from her home in Newark, Delaware. \u201cWe didn\u2019t play any shows from mid-December until now because we\u2019ve been working on our new album.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band is moving in style with a trip planned to one of the most respected recording studios in the world \u2013 FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.<\/p>\n

FAME, an acronym for Florence Alabama Music Enterprises, is a studio that has been the recording home for such acts as Otis Redding, Duane Allman, Aretha Franklin, Oak Ridge Boys and Jason Isbell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to Muscle Shoals in May to record at FAME,\u201d said Emery. \u201cThis is a bucket list for Kenny. He always wanted to record at FAME.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking the whole band to Alabama along with producer Derek Chafin, who produced our last album. It\u2019s like everything lined up just right.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also have musician friends down there \u2013 The Dirty Rain Revelers. We\u2019ll be doing some shows together when we\u2019re down there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dirty Rain Revelers features husband\/wife duo, Matthew and Melissa DeOrazio, both on guitars and vocals.\u00a0 The music they make has a kinetic energy that connects to roots and blues, and weaves in the human experience through the songs they share.\u00a0Both lifelong musicians, they\u2019ve been playing together for 16 years under various guises and lineups.<\/p>\n

Both groups focus on husband\/wife teams that write and play together.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband and I write together,\u201d said Emery. \u201cHe comes up with the chord structure and I develop the melody. Then, I take care of the lyrics.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018If Love Were Enough\u2019 was the first one where we achieved the result that we were really happy with.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded it at BarnSound Studio in Newtown Square. It\u2019s Derek Chafin\u2019s studio which he has now moved to Chester Springs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe used Derek Chafin as our producer for the EP. He made all the difference for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe brought him the song \u2018If Love Were Enough\u2019 to listen to. He liked it and agreed to produce us. We had never used a producer before. Now, we\u2019re working on a full-length with him. The new album won\u2019t be out until? \u2013 when we\u2019re all done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emery\u00a0grew up in Dover, Delaware while her husband is a native of North Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stayed in Dover for college and went to Wesley College,\u201d said Emery, who spent more than two decades as a pediatric nurse. \u201cMy mom was a professor there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to nursing school and got my degree. I worked as a nurse for a long time. Now, I work for the V.A. in Philly. I\u2019m in administration so fortunately I can work from home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was growing up, music was obligatory in our home. Everyone is musical. My mom has been a singer since she was really young. My dad played the clarinet and his brother played organ and piano. I started singing in church. In school, I played flute in the band and sang.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emery, who has been involved in quite a few bands over the years, now has found the right sound and the right mixture of players.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a band called Gretchen Emery\u00a0Band and Dirty Boots,\u201d said Emery. \u201cWe competed in the IBC (International Blues Competition) in 2013 and then broke up a year later.<\/p>\n

\u201cKenny and I stopped playing for a while. Then, we realized we can\u2019t not play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ensemble Arts Philly (www.ensembleartsphilly.org<\/a>) is presenting a three-week run of \u201cFrozen\u201d as part of its \u201cBroadway Series,\u201d which is co-presented by the Shubert Organization. The show will run now through April 7 at the Academy of Music (Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia).<\/p>\n

\u201cFrozen\u201d\u00a0is a musical<\/a>\u00a0with music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez<\/a>\u00a0and Robert Lopez<\/a>, and book by Jennifer Lee<\/a>, based on the 2013 film of the same name<\/a>. The story centers on the relationship between two sisters who are princesses, Elsa and Anna.<\/p>\n

Elsa has magical powers to freeze objects and people, which she does not know how to control. After inheriting the throne, Elsa flees, inadvertently causing the kingdom to become frozen in an eternal winter and nearly killing her sister. She must sacrifice and show true love to save the day.<\/p>\n

The touring cast features Caroline Bowman as Elsa, Lauren Nicole Chapman as Anna Jeremy Davis as Olaf and Dominic Dorsett as Kristoff.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Frozen\u2019 is about these two sisters who are torn apart because of this secret,\u201d said Davis, during a recent phone interview from a tour stop in Providence, Rhode Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cOlaf is a four-foot-tall puppet,\u201d said Davis, who has also performed on Broadway in\u00a0\u201cCats,\u201d \u201cAnnie,\u201d \u201cThe Last Ship,\u201d and \u201cSouth Pacific.\u201d \u201cHis torso is attached to me \u2013 his feet to my feet. It does feel like a dance partner. We sort of dance around the stage together.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a snowman Anna and Elsa built together as kids, Olaf represents innocent love and the joy the sisters once had when they were young before being split. Olaf is not just funny. He also has a \u201cbig role to play representing the innocent love in the scale of fear versus love.\u201d Additionally, his character provides much of the comic relief while conveying lovable innocence and purity.<\/p>\n

\u201cOlaf is the emotional bridge,\u201d said Davis, whose Broadway credits also include \u201cBilly Elliot,\u201d \u201cDirty Rotten Scoundrels,\u201d \u201c9 to 5,\u201d\u00a0\u201cThe People\u00a0in the Picture\u201d and \u201cGhost.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know he is an inanimate object, but he sure does feel alive to me. He talks all the time. I\u2019m sort of in charge of a lot of jokes. Olaf is the archetypal fool. He sees everything as an opportunity for fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrozen\u201d\u00a0was nominated for a number of awards and received several. The song \u201cLet It Go\u201d was singled out for praise. The film was nominated for two awards at the\u00a071st Golden Globe Awards\u00a0and received the\u00a0Best Animated Feature\u00a0award. It received\u00a0Academy Awards\u00a0for\u00a0Best Animated Feature\u00a0and\u00a0Best Original Song\u00a0(\u201cLet It Go\u201d) and\u00a0Critics\u2019 Choice Awards\u00a0for\u00a0Best Animated Feature\u00a0and\u00a0Best Original Song\u00a0(\u201cLet It Go\u201d).<\/p>\n

At the\u00a057th Annual Grammy Awards, the\u00a0\u201cFrozen\u201d\u00a0soundtrack won the\u00a0Grammy Award\u00a0for\u00a0Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media\u00a0and was nominated for\u00a0Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media. \u201cLet It Go\u201d received the\u00a0Best Song Written For Visual Media\u00a0award, with credits to Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez as songwriters and Idina Menzel as performer.<\/p>\n

Video link for \u201cFrozen\u201d — https:\/\/youtu.be\/evYafRPWhFk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The show is running run now through April 7 at the Academy of Music.<\/p>\n

Ticket prices start at $25.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mystery of Edwin Drood,\u201d which is running now through April 21 at the Candlelight\u00a0Theater (2208 Millers Road, Arden, Delaware,\u00a0302- 475-2313, www.<\/a>candlelight<\/a>theatredelaware.org<\/a>), is definitely a mystery.<\/p>\n

The cast for the show includes many Candlelight veterans including Anthony Connell (Phillip Baz, Bazzard), Dan Healy (James Throttle), Julia Kershetsky (Alice Nutting, Edwin Drood), Sarah Mackus (Beatrice), Constance Clay Pelesh (Princess Puffer, Angela Prysock), Samantha Ricchiuti (Florence Gill), Shaun Yates (Nick Cricker) and Victoria Healy (Ensemble).<\/p>\n

The Candlelight Theatre provided some information with this message on its website and handout flyers \u2013<\/p>\n

\u201cTHE MYSTERY of EDWIN DROOD, based on Charles Dickens\u2019 final unfinished novel, is presented by a delightfully zany, vaudeville-type company at The Music Hall Royale.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe story features John Jasper, a Jekyll-and-Hyde choirmaster who is quite madly in love with the fair Miss Rosa Bud who is engaged to Jasper\u2019s nephew, young Edwin Drood. Drood disappears after dinner on a stormy night and is thought to have been murdered. If so, then whodunnit?<\/p>\n

\u201cYOU, the audience, must decide and vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust how many possible endings can there be? The secret is in the number of combinations made possible by three separate sets of roles chosen by you, the audience. The total? 480!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich show will you see? You vote on the ending, so it\u2019s entirely up to you!\u201d<\/p>\n

As\u00a0\u201cDrood\u201d is\u00a0metatheatrical, the characters of the play\u00a0\u201cThe Mystery of Edwin Drood\u201d\u00a0are played by actors of the \u201cMusic Hall Royale,\u201d within the production.<\/p>\n

Metatheatre, and the closely related term\u00a0metadrama, describes the aspects of a\u00a0play\u00a0that draw attention to its nature as\u00a0drama\u00a0or\u00a0theatre, or to the circumstances of its performance.\u00a0\u201cBreaking the Fourth Wall\u201d\u00a0is an example of a metatheatrical device.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a murder mystery,\u201d said Connell. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun show with great audience participation. The audience votes on who they think murdered Edwin Drood.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are all sorts of clues throughout the play concerning who the murderer might be. Audience members take notes and play a role in the play\u2019s final stages.<\/p>\n

\u201cAudiences like it,\u201d said Connell. \u201cIt\u2019s something different \u2013 something interactive. Audiences always live murder mysteries. Personally, I like when actors can go into the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Candlelight\u00a0Theatre is presenting \u201cThe Mystery of Edwin Drood\u201d now through April 21. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings (doors 6 p.m.\/show, 8 p.m.) and Sunday afternoons (doors, 1 p.m.\/show, 3 p.m.). Tickets, which include dinner and show, are $63 for adults and $33 for children (ages 4-12).<\/p>\n
