  • Dad Rock

    Dad Rock is a collection of scenes and monologues from both theatrical classics and newer plays you’ve yet to fall in love with, and songs from Broadway musicals and classic rock legends. These scenes, songs, and monologues challenge and explore toxic masculinity and the expectations our society places on male-identifying people that exist at the heart of many of the mental health crises affecting people of all ages, sexualities, and genders, as well as the people closest to them. This project is also Beck Barsanti’s senior work in acting.

    Matthew Quayle, Composer-Pianist: Miniatures and Meditations

    Composer-Pianist Matthew Quayle (Visiting Assistant Professor of Music) will present an eclectic recital of original solo piano music. Quayle will begin by exploring the art of the musical miniature. What can be said in just a minute or two of music? How can small forms be juxtaposed to tell a larger story? The program will include Quayle’s playful Baroque-inflected suite Antiques and his elegiac Memorial Suite. These collections of short works veer from the comedic to the tragic and back, combining lyrical expression with virtuosic explosivity.

    Composition Across Borders: Finding a common language between music, dance and continents

    German composer, Matthias Krüger, will lead a lecture about music composition across national borders and between disciplines. He will highlight the rich dialogue between artists of different nationalities, as well as between forms, in this case, between choreographers and composers. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in experiential exercises as we ask: How do we translate between cultures and disciplines when composing original material?

  • Word and Image: Putting Proust’s Pictures in Perspective

    Marcel Proust’s A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, one of the most profoundly visual works in Western literature, houses a vast repository of paintings. How does the novelist, in his frequent reference to both famous and obscure works of art, manage to evoke emotion, character, history? How do the verbal and the visual interact and illuminate one another?

  • "20 Days in Mariupol" Film Screening

    Free screening of 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL (documentary, dir. Mstyslav Chernov, 2023), sponsored by Middlebury Russian Department and IGS-REES. An AP team of Ukrainian journalists trapped in the besieged city of Mariupol struggle to continue their work documenting atrocities of the Russian invasion.

    Danish String Quartet

    Named “one of the best string quartets before the public today” by the Washington Post, the Danish String Quartet certainly made an impression when first performing here in 2017: Our sold-out audience gave them a standing ovation before we even hit intermission, and audiences have been asking for their re-engagement ever since. Join us for a mixed program that’s worth the wait: works by Purcell, Haydn, and Shostakovich, plus the quartet’s acclaimed arrangements of Nordic folk music.
