    Adventures in Insect Smell

    Join us for this Odyssey of Olfaction! Insects use smell as their primary sense to detect mates, food, threats, and places to lay their eggs. Over his career, Greg has used a myriad of interdisciplinary approaches to explore the genetic basis of smell in mosquitoes, ants, fireflies, and now butterflies!

    Théotime Langlois de Swarte, Violin and Thomas Dunford, Lute

    Sponsored by:
    Performing Arts Series

    Violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and lutenist Thomas Dunford illuminate aspects of the elusive amalgamation that is the 17th century English notion of melancholy. The inconsolable “Mad Lover” of this program is reimagined as a character from the reign of Charles II. His tale is told through music from the pen of such violin virtuosos as the prodigiously gifted Nicola Matteis. Heightened by the exuberance and abandon common to those musicians transplanted from Italy, the beguiling nuances of this language of yearning and loss continue to echo in the popular music of our time.
