Workshop | Deep Yoga and Journaling


Sharyn Hahn lead you through some warm-up poses and a vinyasa flow as well as several short meditations, creative visualization, and intention-setting writing or sketching activities. You will leave feeling more flexible, relaxed, energized, with a mantra that you can carry with you throughout the week. Please bring a yoga mat if you have one, and they do have some if you need to borrow one for the class. Also bring a journal and something to write with. You will be writing a few times during the class, and if you prefer to sketch or want to do both, that is fine. Wear comfortable clothing, and feel free to bring a warm or cool drink to keep you hydrated (with a secure lid). All levels are welcome. If you have never done yoga you will be able to participate as well.

Tour | Bushwick Graffiti and Street Art Tour

Bushwick, in a working class district on the north side of Brooklyn adjacent to Williamsburg, has been attracting artists for some time now. The neighborhood has a fair collection of art studios and galleries, but it’s Bushwick’s industrial landscape that’s attracting the street artist.

Tour | Grand Central Terminal Tour


For over 100 years, the Beaux-Arts beauty known as Grand Central Terminal (a.k.a Station) has been a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of a great city, impressing both travelers and visitors with its wonderful architecture and pulsating vibe. Its history is a story of immense wealth, great engineering, a few accidents, a planned sabotage and one terrific ceiling, but most importantly a story of survival and rebirth.

City Walk | Historic Brooklyn Bridge Tour


On May 24, 1883, journalist Montgomery Schuyler said "It so happens that the work which is likely to be our most durable monument, and to convey some knowledge of us to the most remote posterity, is a work of bare utility; not a shrine, not a fortress, not a palace, but a bridge." This tour will tell the story of the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge, and examine its ever-present historical, technological, and cultural impact. Note: this tour is held early, as to avoid the massive crowds that the bridge continues to attract, 135 years after its completion.

Tour | Brooklyn Heights Tour


Known as America's first suburb, Brooklyn Heights is truly a gem. Travel and Leisure named it one of America's top 10 most beautiful neighborhoods, and its beauty is rivaled only by its place in American history. These quaint, tree-lined streets have been the sites of Revolutionary War battles, abolitionist activism and have inspired numerous novelists. Visit a stop on the Underground Railroad, or the home of Truman Capote, where he penned Breakfast at Tiffany's and where Jackie Robinson signed with the Dodgers.

Discussion | Far from the Front: Novelists Discuss War


The more familiar stories from World War II are set on the front, in the battlefield or in the war rooms where the course of history was determined. But fiction gives us insight into the war’s more far-reaching effects. In Never Anyone But You, Rupert Thomson reimagines a true story of a bohemian lesbian couple who fled Paris and undertook dangerous subversion work in the German-occupied island of Jersey. And in The Railwayman’s Wife, Ashley Hay writes of the wife, the doctor and the poet, all transformed by post-war trauma in a small coastal town south of Sydney, in far away Australia. They talk about the lives the war irrevocably altered in ways that only the novelist can explore.

Staged Reading | How Did We Get Here: The Story of the Donner Party


In 1846 a group of pioneers departed Independence, Missouri with their sights set on California. Sold the false promise of a shorter route, they became trapped in the Sierras during an especially harsh winter. Inspired by first person accounts, the tragic story of The Donner Party is reimagined to investigate the extreme choices people will make in order to survive. Text by Jeffry Denman & Joy Tomasko. Original Concept by Jeffry Denman. Note: Conceived as a dance-theatre piece, this presentation will be a reading of the full text, and dance will not be featured. Donation is welcomed.

Classical Music | Organ pieces by European composers


Jérôme and Pauline Chabert, organists. Program Claude-Bénigne Balbastre (1724-1799) Prelude & Fugue in D Minor Jehan Alain (1911-1940) Choral cistercien (1934) Jehan Alain (1911-1940) Litanies (1937) Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) Peer Gynt, Op. 23 - Suite No. 1, Op. 46 (1876) About the Performers Organist of Institut Marc de Ranse (France) Jérôme Chabert has performed as soloist, in chamber music concerts, and as accompanist, in France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and others. Pauline Chabert teaches organ at the Marc de Ranse Institute. She was the organist of the Cavaillé-Coll organ at the Church of Saint-Martin-des-Champs in Paris. About the Program Claude-Bénigne Balbastre was a French composer, organist, harpsichordist and fortepianist. He was one of the most famous musicians of his time. Balbastre's fame was so great that the Archbishop of Paris, Christophe de Beaumont had to forbid him to play at Saint Roch during some of the services, because the churches were always crowded when he played. Jehan Ariste Alain was a French organist and composer. He wrote choral music, including a Requiem mass, chamber music, songs and three volumes of piano music. But it is his organ music for which he is best known. His most famous work is Litanies, composed in 1937. Edvard Hagerup Grieg was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. His use and development of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions put the music of Norway in the international spectrum, as well as helping to develop a national identity.

About the Program In summer 1881 Franz Liszt composed a work that he called Valse oubliée (Forgotten waltz) in a letter to his publisher. The work is reminiscent of the appealing piano waltzes that the composer used to write when he was younger – although there is a certain distance to the usual waltz style. Liszt by no means renounces virtuosity and elegance, but rather infuses these characteristics with nostalgia and irony by embedding typical melodic and rhythmic elements of salon waltzes in innovative, harmonically alienating progressions. La plus que lente, L. 121 (The even slower waltz) by Claude Debussy was debuted at the New Carlton Hotel in Paris, where it was transcribed for strings and performed by a popular Romany band. Scriabin's Waltz in A flat Major, Op.38 opens with rich, Scriabin-esque theme that seems to exude heavy perfumes or remind the senses of flowers slightly wilting in the hot sun. The melody is sweet and leisurely, quirky and hesitant, but can suddenly turn passionate and fiery.This waltz will appeal not only to the composer's admirers, but to a fairly wide audience of piano music lovers.
