On Sunday, April 6, Roger Williams University music faculty and local guest artists will gather together to perform a lively evening of original compositions inspired by English Renaissance music.The evening will include original Renaissance songs and dance music composed by Will Ayton, RWU professor of music, and Steven Jobe, contemporary composer from Rhode Island. Guest artists will include lutenist Robert Asprinio, soprano Ellen Santaniello and the Sam Hill Trio.

Film: “The Battle of Algiers”
Part of the Watson Institute’s Occupation/Liberation/Collaboration Film Series, “The Battle of Algiers” (1967) reenacts the urban insurgency against French rule in 1950s Algeria. In a time of leftist political activism, student audiences shared director Gillo Pontecorvo’s sympathies with the Algerian guerrillas. The film’s innovative neo-documentary style earned three Oscar nominations. Faculty on hand to discuss include Barrymore Bogues (Africana Studies), Konstantinos Kornetis (History), Reda Bensmaia, (French Studies) and James Der Derian (International Relations). The event begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Joukowsky Forum, Watson Institute.
