Lecture | History of The Penny Post: Before Stamps Were Forever (virtual)


The postage stamp was as revolutionary to the Victorians as email and texting have been to us today.  In early Victorian Britain, letter writing was the only way to communicate with someone across distances, but the recipient—not the sender—paid to receive a letter, which could cost a week’s wages. The Penny Post turned letter writing from a privilege for the wealthy into an affordable means of communication. There is a dark side, however; the Penny Post became a tool for blackmail, slander, unsolicited mass mailings, and junk mail—Victorian problems that remain relevant to our lives today.    Join the British Empire Study Group as they host Catherine J. Golden, professor of English and the Tisch Chair in Arts and Letters at Skidmore College. Her book Posting It received the 2010 DeLong Book History Prize for the best book on any aspect of the creation, dissemination, or uses of script or print awarded by SHARP (Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing).

Lecture | The History of Gin (virtual)


From the debauched slums of Victorian London to dry martinis and fancy cocktail parties, gin has had a remarkable journey, a story that reflects the ever changing moods and sensibilities of society at large. Like many other spirits, it began life in the alchemist's workshop as a medicinal cure-all, a link it would retain as a mainstay of European Battlefields and colonial outposts. Gin has had many moments in the sun, but it has had it critics: mothers' ruin was seen by the puritanical as the scourge of the working classes, and this imagery has informed much of our opinions on its history. But, every time it was proscribed or looked like vanishing it bounced back, re-invented. No time is that more true than today, with a raft of new distilleries popping up - including here in New York.

Workshop | Facing Change (Support Group): Life's Transitions and Transformations (virtual)


The only constant in life is change. Just when we think we've got things figured out, we find ourselves pivoting and re-calibrating.

Facing Change is a support group focusing on embracing the transformative power of change. The group offers support and care for each other, shares tools for navigating life's changes, practices meditation and ritual as a way to honor life's transitions, and more. Takes place every second Thursday of the month at 7pm,

Classical Music | Sacred Choral Works by William Byrd (virtual)


Choir of St. Luke in the Fields presents a program of William Byrd's Mass for Four Voices, motets for the joyous Feast of All Saints, and a selection of works coded to refer to Jesuit martyrs and divine intervention in a time of persecution. In the turbulent religious climate of Elizabethan England, William Byrd was forced into isolation in the Essex countryside because of his religion. The 1559 Act of Uniformity prohibited the celebration of Catholic liturgy in England. In spite of this, Byrd composed - and published - a large corpus of music for the Catholic rite, for services that had to be celebrated clandestinely, in the private chapels and homes of sympathetic noblemen.
