  • Albertine Film Festival: L’étranger film screening

    Sponsored by:
    French and Francophone Studies

    In 1930s French Algeria, indifferent Frenchman Meursault faces upheaval after his mother’s death and a fatal beach encounter with an Arab man, leading to a trial that scrutinizes his detached character in this adaptation of Albert Camus’s existential novella. The story explores his emotional aloofness amid a violent intrigue involving his neighbor and the victim’s brothers.

  • Hirschfield International Film Series: La Bola Negra

    Sponsored by:
    Film & Media Culture

    Spanning 1932, 1937, and 2017, three men confront the ghosts of a Spain torn between desire and repression. Carlos fights for acceptance, Sebastián falls in love across the battle lines of the Civil War, and Alberto unearths a family secret buried for decades. Bound by forbidden passions, violence, and inherited wounds, their intertwined destinies expose a legacy of intolerance that refuses to die, echoing the tragic world of Federico García Lorca.

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine transformed Bandura virtuoso Maryna Krut from being a singer and performer updating a beautiful tradition of music to being a witness testifying around the world about the devastating war in her homeland. From her temporary home in the west of Ukraine, she travels to the front lines of the war to perform for soldiers. In Ukraine, Krut gained a national following after appearances on that country’s versions of “The X Factor” and “The Voice,” as well as placing in Eurovision.

    Imani Winds and Stewart Goodyear, Piano

    Performing Arts Series

    The Grammy award-winning Imani Winds joins forces with dynamic pianist and composer Stewart Goodyear. Blending music and narrative—and inspired by the African American folktale “The People Could Fly”—this program marks America’s 250th year with a mediation on freedom, memory, and transformation. Rather than a patriotic celebration, it offers a space for reflection—a journey through works by living composers who give voice to migration, resistance, and the ongoing pursuit of justice.

    Sophie Shao and Friends

    Sponsored by:
    Performing Arts Series

    No season is complete without our perennial favorite, cellist Sophie Shao, and her talented collaborators. This year, Shao has expanded her circle of award-winning friends to six, who will delight our community with the lush sounds of the beloved sextets of Dvorák and Brahms. They’ll also play Arensky’s quartet for violin, viola, and two cellos—a deeply expressive, late-Romantic homage to his friend Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Rounding out the sextet are violinists Jennifer Frautschi and Kyu-Young Kim, Cara Pogossian and Burchard Tang on viola, and cellist Nina Lee.
