His piano playing reveals a masterful command rooted in classical and jazz studies, clean articulation, a deft swinging touch, access to a broad dynamic spectrum, a virtuosic harmonic vocabulary, and a boundless source of creative ideas.

But Dreuther, a director of Bertram's firm, whimsically switches wedding and honeymoon to Monte Carlo. Inevitably Bertram visits the Casino. Inevitably he loses.

Book Discussion | Paris Review Editor Speaks with Author about Her New Book, Salt Sisters
Lindsey Palmer will be in conversation with author Emily Nemens about her new book. About the book: Twin sisters Jocelyn and Maddy Marx grew up in a tight-knit family on Cape Cod, but they couldn't be more different. Jocelyn, laid-back and dreamy, still lives in their hometown as a Realtor. Maddy, intense and ambitious, left for New York after college and never looked back. Until the summer they turn thirty-one. After a dramatic fall from grace in her career, a pregnant Maddy returns to the Cape with her husband and announces she's back for good. For Jocelyn, it's less a reconciliation than a reminder of a life that was ripped away from her and the deep grief she's carried ever since. Back in each other's orbit, the sisters reopen old wounds and are forced to confront what it will take to heal.

Opening Reception | Trip the Light Fantastic: Solo Painting Exhibition Rendering Euphoric Sentiments
Trip the Light Fantastic is an exhibition of new works by Sarah Gamble. Employing a visual vocabulary that moves fluidly between abstraction and representation, Gamble conjures fantastical alternate worlds frequently rendered in a mix of expressionistic gestures peppered with jewel-like passages. Gamble channels a euphoric sentiment in her new paintings, depicting ancient rock formations, cosmic night skies, and lush rose gardens captured in transitional moments between reality and fantasy. With an interest in exploring among other things time travel, transcendence, pre life, and inner life, she explains, “I often paint forms or objects in different states of manifestation in an effort to show energy or matter coming apart or reorganizing itself into new forms.”

Book Discussion | CNN & PBS -Featured Political Scientist Shares His New Nonfiction Title, Murder on the Mississippi: The Shocking Crimes That Shaped Abraham Lincoln
In Murder on the Mississippi: The Shocking Crimes That Shaped Abraham Lincoln, award-winning historian Saladin Ambar unearths the horrors that shaped a young Abraham Lincoln's worldview, pushing him to find his political voice. Murder on the Mississippi tells the story of three racially motivated murders in Mississippi River towns from 1835 to 1838 that inspired the speech that put Lincoln on the national map--the Lyceum Address. Confronted by lawlessness, racial terror, and his own inner demons, Lincoln's battle was political and deeply personal.

Classical Music | Orchestral Works by Richard Strauss, Haydn, & More at a Major NYC Concert Hall
An evening of works that span three centuries, performed by the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center. Bask in Adolphus Hailstork's Sonata da Chiesa, which draws on tradition while speaking in his distinctly modern voice. Richard Strauss's Duett-Concertino follows, featuring soloists from the orchestra--Principal clarinetist Jon Manasse and Principal bassoonist Marc Goldberg-- in a musical dialogue. Ethel Smyth's Symphony for Small Orchestra reveals the sweeping imagination and dramatic flair of a composer whose music is enjoying a resurgence. The program concludes with Haydn's Symphony No. 100, the "Military," a crowd-pleasing tour de force famous for its celebratory fanfares, bold percussion, and jubilant spirit--bringing the evening to a thrilling close. Program: Adolphus Hailstork (1941-) Sonata da Chiesa Richard Strauss (1864-1949) Duett-Concertino Ethel Smyth (1858-1944) Symphony for Small Orchestra Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Symphony No. 100, "Military"
