Classical Music | Bach at Noon


The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. Johann Sebastian Bach was 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.

Before America joined World War I, a small group of Americans volunteered for the French Foreign Legion to help defeat the Central Powers. Historian David Hanna profiles seven of these volunteers: a poet, an artist, a boxer, a stunt pilot, a college student, a veteran of the Spanish American War, and an advertising executive.

Discussion | Language and Politics: Let's Tell It Like It Is


Language and politics are two spheres that, intuitively, seem to be closely intertwined. Yet, their exact relationship is open to contestation, thus becoming a matter of politics itself. In the most recent elections in Germany and elsewhere, this contestation has been underlying the campaigns of political actors primarily from the far-right. By pushing the boundaries of what is admissible content in the language of democratic politics they have successfully established themselves as forces that are supposedly ”telling it as it is.” This event will look at “Language and Politics” through the lens of philosophy and political theory. Following two short presentations, we will enter into a discussion on the relationship between language and politics and what this relationship and its contestation means for the democratic polity. Panelists: -- Anastasia Colosimo is the Advisor to the Chairman at Richard Attias & Associates in New York. -- Dr. Wolfgang Freitag is the Chair of Theoretical Philosophy and the Philosophy of Language at the University of Mannheim, Germany. -- Christian Martin (moderator) currently holds the Max Weber Chair in German and European Studies.

Author Reading | The Spitboy Rule: Tales of a Xicana in a Female Punk Band


Author, educator, and punk rocker Michelle Cruz Gonzales played drums and wrote lyrics in the influential 1990s female hardcore band Spitboy. They blazed trails for women musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Misogyny, sexism, abusive fans, class and color blindness, and all-out racism were foes, especially for Gonzales, a Xicana and the only person of color in the band. Unlike touring rock bands before them, the unapologetically feminist Spitboy preferred Scrabble games between shows rather than sex and drugs, and they were not the angry manhaters that many expected them to be.

Gallery Talk | Artist Talk: Vintage Cars, Captured in Midair 


Artist Matthew Porter discusses Porter’s forthcoming book, The Heights, a portfolio of twenty-five images of vintage cars, captured in midair as they careen over city streets and highway intersections. Each photograph is a freeze-frame­ – a hypothetical film still from a pulp-fiction chase scene. The images form a hybrid of hyperreality and studied, topographic description, part bittersweet nostalgia and part ironic reinvention of a classic American trope. Within his diverse interests as an image-maker, Porter has returned time and again to photographing these cars, as a kind of punctuation of his practice.

Jazz | Discover The Mastery of One of the Most Influential Figures in Jazz: Louis Armstrong


A program with expert conversation and communal listening of rarely heard archival jazz recordings. Louis Daniel Armstrong (1901 - 1971), nicknamed Satchmo, Satch, and Pops, was a trumpeter, composer, vocalist and occasional actor who was one of the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned five decades, from the 1920s to the 1960s, and different eras in the history of jazz. In 2017, he was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an "inventive" trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. Armstrong is renowned for his charismatic stage presence and voice almost as much as for his trumpet playing. By the 1950s, Armstrong was a widely beloved American icon and cultural ambassador who commanded an international fanbase. In 1964 he recorded his biggest-selling record, "Hello, Dolly!", a song by Jerry Herman. The record remained on the Hot 100 for 22 weeks, longer than any other record produced that year, and went to No. 1 making him the oldest person ever to accomplish that feat. In the process, he dislodged the Beatles from the No. 1 position they had occupied for 14 consecutive weeks. His influence extends well beyond jazz, and by the end of his career in the 1960s, he was widely regarded as a profound influence on popular music in general. Armstrong was one of the first truly popular African-American entertainers to "cross over", that is, whose skin color became secondary to his music in an America that was extremely racially divided at the time.

Lecture | Divine Diamonds: Gender, Embodiment, and Movement in the French Suburbs


Two recent French films directed by women and featuring racially and ethnically marked girls’ bodies in movement, have achieved notable critical and popular success. Residents of the Parisian suburbs, these girls share a heritage of post/colonial immigration. This talk interrogates how these films represent gendered bodies and how those bodies are offered to be seen, but also how they relate to the space of the banlieue. To what degree do the social microcosms these “bandes de filles” represent figure as aspirational utopian alternatives to the lived realities of French suburban poverty? Framed by feminist and phenomenological considerations of the body in film, speaker Margaret C. Flinn seeks to nuance such theorizations with specificities of how race and gender in France are represented today.
