Diderot Quartet proudly presents the second installment of its 'Haydn and his Students' series. This program includes music by Haydn (naturally) and by Anton Ferdinand Titz, who likely studied with Haydn before embarking upon an illustrious musical career in St. Petersburg and crafting some of his own extraordinary string quartets. The program closes with the deservedly famous 'Harp' quartet by Haydn's most renowned student, Beethoven. Have the disciples out-composed their mentor? You be the judge.
Seeking to blur the line between improvisation and composition, the program will explore various forms of free improvisation alongside jazz standards and composed works by Yahalom, as well as Maurice Ravel and Israeli singer-songwriter Eviatar Banai.
The program features the great repertoire of the organ on the 101-rank Pipe Organ built by Herman Schlicker and the 5 stop chamber organ built by Taylor and Boody Organ Builders.
The Organ Meditation takes place every Saturday from Sept. 12, 2015 to May 28, 2016.
Morgan Stevenson premieres her senior thesis play, which details the events of the Baltimore uprising that occurred last spring. It is an interview-based theater production performed by current New School students and alums, who perform the stories of Baltimore's youth of color, the most pivotal force in the fight against police brutality and institutional racism. The structure of the play allows audiences to focus narrowly on the stories of the youth and question the integrity of mainstream media who were responsible for the defamation of protesters during this time.
Following the performance, the audience will be able to engage directly with the Baltimore youth activists who inspired this play through an interactive panel discussion.
This event occurs April 22-23.

Strickland leads this adventurous new project, which he describes as “a sonic exploration into the one trait that unites us all: impermanence.” Weaving together shades of jazz, Afrobeat, funk, and rock, the five-piece band forges its own distinctive sound through intricate solos, offbeat time signatures, and multilayered rhythms. The result is a unique musical journey guided by Strickland’s commitment to openness, insight, and harmony through dissonance.
