SUMMARY:St. Paul - Shoua and the Northern Lights Dragon: Musical Performance and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a brand-new musical performance by Chione Quintet based on Twin Cities author Ka Vang’s Shoua and the Northern Lights Dragon. This short chapter book\, published by the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans (CAPM) and the Minnesota Humanities Center in 2012\, tells the story of Shoua\, a Hmong American girl who discovers her voice as she saves an injured dragon while camping in the north woods of Minnesota. Hear this story set to beautiful and evocative music composed by fellow Minnesotan\, Jocelyn Hagen\, with narration by Ka Vang. Chione Quintet combines musical character themes with American Sign Language and will share the stories of each of their instruments and the ensemble they create–the wind quintet! \nHear from Sia Her\, Executive Director of CAPM\, about the project that led to the publication of this wonderful book and five others – The Reading Together Book Project\, which addresses the importance of children’s books that speak to the rich and diverse cultural identities reflected in the U.S. You will also hear from author Ka Vang about the significance and impact the book and performance have had on her.  \nChildren of all ages are welcome! There is no cost to attend\, but registration is required. Refreshments from a local Asian market will be served. \nChione [kiōn] is a Twin Cities-based woodwind quintet comprised of innovative and cross-disciplinary women. The unique and evolving medium provides an outlet to explore and create new sounds while redefining and rediscovering lesser-known music. Chione is committed to collaborating with professionals of all genres and creative outlets\, with particular interests in commissioning new pieces and performing works by women artists. Throughout each endeavor\, Chione aims to reach a wide range of audiences with the hopes of inspiring contemporary and aspiring artists as well as supporters of the arts. \nRegistration\nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Minnesota Writers Series: After Effects: A Memoir of Complicated Grief
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Humanities Center welcomes the next author in our Minnesota Writers Series\, Andrea Gilats\, who will be reading from her book\, “After Effects: A Memoir of Complicated Grief.” In addition to talking about her own experience with grief following the death of her husband\, Gilats will also discuss how the process of writing helped with her own healing and understanding. Following the reading\, the author will be joined by Dr. Ben Trappey\, co-director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for the Art of Medicine (CFAM)\, for a discussion on complicated grief and the healing benefits of writing\, both physical and emotional.  \nRegistration\nWhile this program is free and open to all with registration\, part of the CFAM’s mission is to cultivate creativity\, curiosity and empathy in physicians and physicians-in-training through the arts and humanities. Medical professionals in attendance will have the opportunity to discuss their own complicated relationships with grief\, perhaps intensified during our pandemic-ravaged world of loss and isolation.   \nA reception with heavy appetizers will begin at 6 p.m.\, followed by the talk from 6:30-8 p.m. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED
