This Sunday in Brooklyn, Consilience Productions will be sponsoring an early evening of music and panel discussion. Entitled "Mentorship: Hip-Hop meets Physics!", the event will feature an hour of jazz followed by the panel discussion and finishing with a hip-hop concert by Nine 11 Thesaurus, all videotaped to document the festivities. Stop by and enjoy the fun!
Consilience Concert Awareness Concert Series -- Mentorship: Hip-Hop meets Physics!
Where: VoxPop Cafe, Ditmas Park, Brooklyn - 1022 Cortelyou Road
When: Sunday, November 15th, 5:00-7:30pm
How to get there: Take the Q train to the Cortelyou Road subway stop, turn left out of the station and walk 5 short blocks west.
WHY?
This event will couple jazz with activism. The Vinson Valega Quartet will perform from 5:00-6:00pm, after which follows the panel discussion, where Sam Hillmer, community organizer and founder of music production company, Representing NYC! will compare and contrast mentorship models with physicist and educator, Weldon MacDonald.
Mentorship has always been essential to developing young minds in the arts and sciences. Come hear about Sam's success in nurturing young Hip-Hop artists from the Brownsville section of Brooklyn (Fly Girlz on TheTripWire.com and WNYC.org and Nine 11 Thesaurus at The New Museum) and the similarities that exist between his approach and Weldon's experience mentoring young high school scientists in the New York metropolitan area.
And by all means, make sure you stick around 'till the end when Sam's kids kick off a raucous Hip-Hop performance to end the event!
