Classical Music | Bach at Noon


The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. Johann Sebastian Bach was more a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. "The term ‘baroque’ has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750... Many famous composers from the first part of the baroque period came from Italy and have a link with Venice, including Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Vivaldi. Monteverdi was born in Cremona, but moved to Venice where he was ‘maestro di capella’ at the San Marco basilica. Vivaldi was born in Venice and was one of the greatest baroque composers. It is thanks to these strong musical traditions of Venice that we have today’s music. Without Venetian church music and Monteverdi’s advances with polyphony, the great traditions of choral music in England, France, and Germany would never have developed. Without the operas written by Monteverdi, Cavalli and Vivaldi, not only would the later styles of opera never have been invented. There would be no basis for the American Musical or the German and Viennese Operetta, the Spanish Zarzuela, and even rock, pop, and contemporary music as we know it." The Venice Insider Bach at Noon concerts take place every Tuesdays through Fridays, from September 11, 2018 to May 22, 2019. less

Her practice lies in the intersections of architectural installation art, photography, video art, neon sculpture and site specificity within the language of chromatic minimalism and light environments. For several decades, her practice has been focused on the phenomenology of perception of light, sound and color. less

Lecture | Black Maybe: Notes on Black Writing, Aesthetics, and Value


The re-emergent debates around race and the avant-garde rhyme with, or serve as proxy for, similarly more re-emergent debates about the relationship between class and race, on the one hand, and the status of mass media on the other. In both sets of arguments the value of experience is at stake, and partisan arguments on all sides tend to re-stage the fundamental terms of the supposed antagonism without either historicizing it or asking what work the idea of an opposition does in the present. Whatever the limits of Kenneth Warren’s polemical (and problematic) claim that the conditions for a distinct African American literature have passed, it sounds an important critical call to reconsider the politics of so-called “identity politics” as well as the supposed “politics of form.” Speaker Anthony Reed is Associate Professor of English and African American Studies at Yale University. less

Discussion | Remembering Philip Roth, one of the most awarded American writers of his generation


James Atlas and the late Philip Roth were friends for over 30 years. They read each other’s work, spent more time together at Roth’s house in Connecticut, and wandered the streets of the Upper West Side. Like most friendships, theirs wasn't always tranquil, but it was never dull. To celebrate the publication of Atlas’ book Remembering Roth as an Audible Original, the author will be joined by four of Roth’s keenest appreciators: David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker; Claudia Pierpont Roth, author of Roth Unbound; and biographer Judith Thurman. Philip Milton Roth (1933 – 2018) was an American novelist and short-story writer. His fiction, regularly set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey, is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of American identity. Roth first gained attention with the 1959 novella Goodbye, Columbus, for which he received the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. He became one of the most awarded American writers of his generation. less

Author Reading | 'Broadsword Calling Danny Boy': Watching 'Where Eagles Dare'


Geoff Dyer’s earlier book on film, Zona, was about Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker, so it was perhaps more inevitable that he should next devote his unique critical and stylistic energies to Brian G. Hutton’s Where Eagles Dare. A thrilling Alpine adventure starring a magnificent, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a dynamically lethargic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s war movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. 'Broadsword Calling Danny Boy' is Geoff Dyer’s hilarious tribute to a film he has loved since childhood: it’s a scene-by-scene analysis—or should that be send-up?—taking us from it’s snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax. less

Discussion | CANCELLED DUE TO SECURITY CONCERNS (Sad!!) America's Alliance with Israel: Building for the future


This kick-off event for Democracy on the Edge will explore the relationship between America and its key more ally in the Middle East. Topics include: • Washington and the new face of anti-Semitism; • America and Israel as partners on the world stage; • The future of the alliance. People of conciences need to stay in a way of the lies distributed about the only democracy in the Middle East by media, social media and, now, coming from as inappropriate for that place as the US Congress. One of those henious lies is to call the State of Israel "apartheid", while its Arab citizens have absolutely equal rights and one privielge: they do not have to serve in the Army unless they want to. iIsrael is actually one of the few countries in the Middle East where women (including Arab women) can vote, etc. But the anti-semitic lies are persistent and something has to be made to stop the prevelance of those lies. For year these lies existed only on the fringes of the society, but now they have found its way into the Democratic mainstream and into the US Congress. less

Discussion | Works of Justice: Publishing Power - Liberating Great Work


In addressing the impact of mass incarceration, there is an increasing need to center the voices of those more directly impacted—not only as experts, but as integrated contributors. But for writers in prison, access to participation in the literary community is limited by not only stigma and physical restriction, but financial barriers, lack of technology, and censorship. For those who manage to publish against the odds, publicity efforts require creative strategy when book tours are impossible, interviews channel through authority review, advances are siphoned by the state, and context automatically forces categorization by the author's relationship with incarceration or crime, regardless of the work’s content. This conversation confronts the challenges and ethics of publishing incarcerated writers, and re-imagining the boundaries of what is possible. Featuring: -- Poet and editor Randall Horton, -- Author Mitchell S. Jackson, Vice President and Executive Editor of Scribner  -- Kathy Belden,Senior Editor at Knopf -- Tim O'Connell, Editor of The Marshall Project's "Life Inside" Eli Hager, & Daniel Gross, Prisons Editor at the Asian American Writers Workshop. less
