DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 2/13/2026 7:00pm | Hockett Family Recital Hall Guest R
 ecital: Rebecca Hass: The Song Blanket Free\, open to the public\n\nClick 
 "Register" to reserve your FREE tickets!\n\nBlankets are familiar to us al
 l\, no matter our cultural background. We understand how their threads wea
 ve together warmth and protection from the cold. But blankets hold so much
  more. Traditionally\, they have been created by matriarchs\, whose artist
 ry in quilting\, weaving\, crocheting\, and knitting has preserved ancestr
 al knowledge through generations. These Matriarchs stitched their dreams\,
  care\, and vision into every thread\, crafting blankets for future genera
 tions to carry. Rebecca Hass (Nitaawe Giizhigok – Singing Sky Woman)\, a
  Georgian Bay Métis artist and Citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario\, 
 carries the legacy of her Métis grandmother’s quilts. In The Song Blank
 et\, Rebecca gives voice to an old woman searching for what has been forgo
 tten — the traditional teachings and cultural wisdom whispered through t
 he quilts.\n\n \n\nRebecca calls forward the matriarchs who travel with us
 \, wrapping all in the transformative vibration of music. Joined by IC fac
 ulty and students Charis Demaris\, Patrice Pastor\, Alexei Aceto\, Lusi Ha
 laifonua\, Sabina Jungkeit\, Lucy Montgomery\, and Michael Scamacca\, audi
 ences will journey through stories and songs — both new and old\, as the
  old woman seeks to remember and reclaim. Through The Song Blanket\, the j
 ourney with the old woman seeks to stitch us together once more\, awakenin
 g the ancestral wisdom\, love\, and care of the matriarchs — those known
  and unknown — who continue to walk beside us today. She will give a wor
 kshop performance of this new piece here at IC before giving its world pre
 miere in New York City’s Symphony Space as part of Sparks and Wiry Cries
 ’s sparksLIVE festival later this month. Arrive early to view beautiful 
 quilts made and displayed by the Tompkins County Quilters Guild in the lob
 by.
