Talk on life post-pandemic
A Zoom discussion on “Back to the Future” with Claire Gerstein will take place on Wednesday, June 9 at 10 a.m. As most of us are vaccinated and restrictions are lifting, many people are finding themselves excited but also apprehensive. What is my personal comfort level venturing forth? What are the things that I want to get back to? What are things I’d done in the past but having them on pause make me realize they are no longer where I want to spend my time and energy?
Classical piano recital
Wanda Paik presents a recital via Zoom on Wednesday, June 16 at 2 p.m. She will play Bach’s Toccata, Fantasia, and Fugue in D major; several Chopin pieces including the Impromptu in A-flat major, the Nocturne in C# minor, and the Etude in A♭ major, which was thought to make the piano sound like an Aeolian harp; Brahms’ Intermezzo in E♭ minor; and Debussy’s sweeping, jazzy Prelude from the Suite Pour le Piano.
Civil rights music
John Clark and his Great American Music Experience present “Juneteenth and the Music of Civil Rights Movement” on Friday, June 18 at 1 p.m. This program focuses on the music of the civil rights movement during 1950s and ’60s beginning with the controversial Hammerstein song “You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught” and “We Are Americans Too,” a response to a 1956 racial incident involving Nat King Cole. Please allow two days’ notice for sign-up.
