Author Reading | The Heirs: Sins of the Past
For 50 years, Eleanor Ritter’s mother Rose has refused to talk about how she survived the Holocaust in Poland and ended up in New Jersey. But now – just as Rose breaks her hip and starts speaking in long-forgotten Polish – Eleanor learns that the parents of her nine-year-old son’s new friend are Polish Catholics, born and raised in that country. Eleanor starts digging into both families’ stories, jeopardizing her already shaky relationships with her mother, her husband, and her children, even as her obsession pushes her to confront the existential questions of American Jews – indeed, of any group that has faced historical persecution: How many generations does guilt carry on? What did your grandparents do to my grandparents? Written by Fran Hawthorne.

Discussion | Are Democracy and Tolerance on The Decline? Why? And What to Do?
The post-WWII order is fraying: democracy and tolerance are under attack. How has democracy become a devalued concept? Why are populism and xenophobia on the rise in the Western world? Can democracy, liberalism and capitalism survive the current crisis? Or is there a need for an entirely new paradigm? An exceptional panel of experts will analyze the causes of the current historical shift — among them the impact of unprecedented immigration flows; terrorism; the widening gap between citizens and governments; increased financial inequality; loss of cultural identity; the role of education and new technologies. They will address ways to protect democracy, freedom and human rights in the society of the future. With: Adam Gopnik Yascha Mounk Melissa Nobles Manuel Valls

Forum | The Supper Club: Dinner Conversations on Meaningful Social and Cultural Criticism
Artist Elia Alba will stage The Supper Club, inviting a select group of artists and cultural leaders of African-American, Latin American, African, South Asian and Caribbean descent for a dinner conversation. Addressing issues of art, life, pop culture, politics, gender and race, her goal is to create forums for meaningful social and cultural criticism, as well as create a critical historical archive, through a broad variety of creative voices, cultural, social, political and economic backgrounds, and a diverse set of critical perspectives. The Supper Club is a multi-faceted art project comprised of an ongoing series of socially engaged dinners in which discussions on race and visual culture have taken place since 2012; photographic portraits of nearly 60 artists of color, who have participated in the dinner conversations; and a book of the portraits and text related to the dinner conversations to be published in October of this year. Since its inception, the dinners have evolved to include over 400 participants. By bringing different perspectives and experiences to the table, the project aims to weigh in on the historical significance of the current moment and the enduring power of art, food, and conversation in our everyday lives. This will be the first time the dinners are open to the public. All conversations will be recorded and photographed, transcribed, and published—both online and as a booklet that will be available later in the year. Members of the public are encouraged to participate as audience members. As such, you'll become both an active listener and observer, being able to wander around the table participants, listen to what they are saying, and be inspired to find new entry points to, and perspectives on, these issues. \

Classical Music | The Festival Chamber Ensemble performs pieces by Debussy, Prokofiev and Jean Francaix (outdoors)
The Festival Chamber Ensemble; Mélanie Genin, harp soloist. Program Jean Francaix (1912-1997) Quintet for harp and string trio (1989) Claude Debussy (1862-1918) Sonata for flute, viola and harp (1915) Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) Quintet op 39 for oboe, clarinet, violin, viola and double bass (1924) About the Program Debussy's Sonata for flute, viola and harp is one of his finest compositions and the first major work written for this combination of the instruments. It was written as a part of Six sonatas for various instruments. The composer was only able to complete three sonatas of the cycle due to his death in 1918. The work premiered in Boston, at Jordan Hall in the New England Conservatory, on November 7, 1916. The performers were members of a wind ensemble called the Longy Club, which had been founded by the principal oboist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, George Longy. Sergey Prokofiev (1891–1953) left Russia in the wake of the 1917 October Revolution, establishing himself in the West with concert tours around the United States and Europe. He lived briefly in New York and Germany, then settled in Paris in 1923. In that epicenter of the musical avant-garde, Prokofiev made a splash with his colorful and incisive scores, especially his ballets. Quintet op 39 for oboe, clarinet, violin, viola and double bass is related to his ballet Trapèze.
