Complete the Greensboro Recycling Survey for a Chance to Win one of Five $50 Visa Gift Cards

What Do You Know About City Recycling?

The City of Greensboro invites you to complete this survey about recycling to help improve its recycling program. The survey asks what you do or do not recycle, if you know what items are recyclable in the City’s program, and ways you suggest the City encourage people to recycle more.

Also, checkout their new website where you can also take the survey.

 

Once the results of the survey are compiled, the City will use the results to launch more effective educational campaigns to increase recycling. Everyone who completes the survey is eligible to win one of five $50 Visa gift cards.

 

A paper version of the survey is being mailed with City water bills. You may complete the paper survey or take the online survey. Deadline to complete and return your survey to be eligible for a Visa gift card is June 30.

Jazz and Ecomusicology: New Questions for Old Jazz Histories - April 21st 5pm 217 Music Building

Dr. William Bares, University of North Carolina Asheville

Thursday, April 21, 5pm, UNCG Music Building 217

This talk will bring established understandings of jazz history as an
unruly, macho, heroic, American and urban soloist’s art into dialog with
the budding field of ecomusicology. Analyses of Marion Brown's
_Afternoon of a Georgia Faun_, Jan Garbarek's _Dis_, and Sonny Rollins's
_Global Warming_ will provide entree into a consideration of some of
today's ecological jazz productions: among others, the work of Grammy
nominee Vijay Iyer, the Cuban pianist Fabian Almazan, and the Dutch
group Tin Men and the Telephone.

Dr. Bares holds a B.A. from Amherst College, a M.M. in Jazz Performance
from the University of Miami, and a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from
Harvard University, where he studied with Ingrid Monson, the Quincy
Jones Professor of African American Music. In addition to his university
teaching career, Bares spent ten years performing and researching jazz
in Europe, and worked in Washington D.C. for the Democratic National
Committee and for Representative Jane Harman (D-CA).

Sponsored by the UNCG Department of Music Studies and the UNCG
Environmental & Sustainability Studies Program.
