A
truly extraordinary rap group, The Coup, led by Boots
Riley (son of a Black Panther party lawyer) and Pam the Funkstress,
practices extreme political "raptivism" in a fundraiser for
the Willamette Valley Folk Festival 2003 at the EMU ballroom.
This group is known for both groovy hard-hitting lyrics grown
from feelings of oppression (hear their song "5 million ways
to kill a C.E.O.") and a soulful style that bridges gaps between
rap aficionados and those less keen on the hip-hop scene. See
Wednesday.
In
a night of the Finnish and unfinished, Marietta Simpson
performs with the Eugene Symphony Orchestra at the Hult's Silva
Hall. ESO takes on Finnish composer Rautavaara's Requiem
in Our Time, and Mozart's Requiem.
Left incomplete at the time of his death, Requiem is
Mozart's most famous work, combining choir, orchestra and soloists
into a haunting farewell. See Thursday, April 10 Calendar.

author and environmental activist Terry Tempest Williams
delivers the 2003 Johnston Lecture at 4:30 pm, Thursday, April
10 at Beall Hall. Williams, author of the critically acclaimed
Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place, as
well as six other titles, will present the free lecture, "Memoirs
of an Environmentalist with a Pen: How Writing Intersects with
the Politics of Place." Williams twice has testified before
the U.S. Congress regarding women's health and environmental
links associated with cancer. On March 5, she joined Sam Hamill
and William Merwin in delivering 13,000 anti-war poems to Congress.
On March 8, Williams was among hordes of celebrities, including
writers, activists, musicians and journalists, to be arrested
for marching in a peace rally from a public park in Washington,
D.C. to the White House.

people at the Eugene airport, is featured in David Joyce:
A Retrospective, an exhibit at Maude Kerns Art Center
