Discussion | Shadowboxing with History: The Conundrum of Fiction vs. Non-Fiction


In this moderated dialogue, acclaimed authors and two friends of six decades, Jay Neugeboren (Max Baer and the Star of David: A Novel ) and Jerome Charyn (A Loaded Gun: Emily Dickinson for the 21st Century) talk about the interplay of history and art in the writing of fiction and non-fiction, about the necessary "lies" of non-fiction, and the reshaping of certain truths in the writing of historical fiction. What do all historical figures, re-imagined or not, have in common? How does language itself reinvent history? Their two fascinating books and the two fascinating historical figures, Max Baer and Emily Dickinson are showcased.

Venus Freed is a collection of interactive blown glass objects, flowers and found materials that conjure the ritual object through the Philippine myth of the ylang ylang, (scientific name, Cananga Odorata), a flower indigenous to the Philippines.

Concert | Italian Singer Serena Brancale's First American Concert


The idea of this first American concert of Serena Brancale (feat. Walter Ricci) is born from a combination of genres, a kaleidoscope of the Italian pop tradition, melody, and a passion for soul music filtered through jazz and the Mediterranean. A piano, a double bass, hints of electronica and two beautiful voices that bring Sanremo and American jazz together in New York. This is the new wave of Italian song: it crosses borders and happily merges the entire musical world and its different pentagrams.
