Lecture | Politics Versus Policy: Technocratic Traps of Post-Soviet Reforms
A number of policy reforms in post-Soviet countries and beyond have been conducted within the framework of the technocratic model. Policy proposals have been developed and to some extent implemented by certain teams of professionals appointed by legitimate political leaders. The leaders, in turn, have tended to monopolize policy adoption and evaluation and to insulate the substance of reforms from public opinion. Vladimir Gel'man's presentation will present a critical reassessment of the technocratic model of policy-making in the context of the post-Soviet changes of the 1990s–2010s.

Lecture | What Makes It Italian? Discovering National Character in Music
How can we define the elusive quality of "Italian-ness" in music? This discussion group gives voice and vocabulary to our intuitions about Italian music, both instrumental and vocal. You'll listen to music from the sublime Palestrina, pinnacle of the Italian Renaissance; through Monteverdi, Lulli, Cherubini, Puccini, Respighi and more; to John Corigliano and our modern world, naming Italian characteristics and asking whether they stand the test of time. What Makes It Italian is a music listening and discussion group that is open to everyone. Attendance at all meetings, which take place on Tuesdays from April 10 to May 15, is encouraged, as the discussions are cumulative. Led by Gina Crusco, who also guides listening at the Riverdale Y, formerly music instructor at The New School and director of Underworld Productions Opera.

Obie Award-winning director Robert O’Hara (Bootycandy, The Brother/Sister Plays (Part 2)) brings a warring King and his band of brothers to communities all across New York with Mobile Unit’s spring production of Henry V.

Author Reading | New York Times' Amy Chozick discusses her book Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling
The real story of what happened in the 2016 election, told through the dishy, rollicking, deeply personal story of one New York Times journalist's career covering the First Woman President who wasn't. For a decade, award-winning New York Times Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clinton's pursuit of the presidency. Chozick's front-row seat took her to 48 states and set off a time in which her formative years became -- both personally and professionally -- intrinsically intertwined to Clinton's presidential ambitions. Chasing Hillary is a campaign book like never before.

Classical Music | Piano works by Schubert, Rachmaninoff and more
Daniel Le, piano. Program Schubert (1797-1828) Sonata in A Major D.664 (1819) Carl Vine (b.1954) Sonata No.1 (1990) Andrew Howes (b.1992) Bird Songs (World Premiere) Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) Sonata No.2 in B-flat minor Op.36 (1931) Grainger (1882-1961) Arrangements About the musician Hailed by Arts Review for his “show stopping virtuoso piano rendering,” Australian pianist Daniel Tang Le has performed at Lincoln Center, Melbourne Recital Center, and Lyric Theatre in Australia, Waseda University in Japan and many more venues. About the Program The Piano Sonata in A major D. 664, Op. posth. 120 was composed by Franz Schubert in the summer of 1819. The manuscript was dedicated to Josephine von Koller of Steyr in Upper Austria, whom he considered to be "very pretty" and "a good pianist." The lyrical nature of this sonata fits the image of a young Schubert in love, living in a summery Austrian countryside, which he also considered to be "unimaginably lovely". Carl Vine is an Australian composer of contemporary classical music. From 1975 he has worked as a pianist and composer with a variety of theatre and dance companies, and ensembles. Vine's catalogue includes seven symphonies, eleven concertos, music for film, television and theatre and many more. Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 36, was composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1913. When he performed the piece at its premiere in Moscow, it was well received. However, Rachmaninoff himself was not satisfied with the work. He felt that too much in the piece was superfluous.Thus, in 1931, the composer commenced work on a revision, which included shortening and removing some technical difficulties. George Percy Aldridge Grainger was an Australian-born composer, arranger and pianist. In the course of a long and innovative career, he played a prominent role in the revival of interest in British folk music in the early years of the 20th century. Although much of his work was experimental and unusual, the piece with which he is most generally associated is his piano arrangement of the folk-dance tune "Country Gardens".
