In this collaboration with Independent Film Festival Ypsilanti (iFFY), filmmakers who live or work in Washtenaw County were invited to submit short silent films, all of which will be set to live, improvised music performed by Resonant Soundscapes, a dynamic collective of Michigan-based artists that traverses wide-ranging jazz and electronic aesthetics. The films, marked by vivid and varied expressivity, each suggesting a particular musical world, will be shown back-to-back in a continuous presentation of film and live music lasting about 80 minutes total.

We have so much to celebrate this season - The BI Database reaching its one-year anniversary, Women’s History Month, Our 6th-annual WoCo fest coming up in April, but most of all the 40th Birthday of our Co-Founder, Artistic and Executive Director, Dr. Laura Colgate.

This concert, performed by our two co-founders, will be a festive occasion to celebrate all that BI has done so far and look forward to all of the exciting things to come. The program will include works for violin and organ by Alexandra Gardner, Lili Boulanger, Amy Beach, Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, Florence Price, Isabella Leonarda, and more! We will also be premiering a new piece by Julie Zhu, commissioned by the BI family in honor of Laura’s 40th.
