EVENT REMINDERS
SEPTEMBER 14: VIVA MÉXICO! Music • Stories • Culture • Legacy
In honor of Mexico’s Independence Month, we’ve put together a special presentation that highlights our country’s iconic music, deeply intertwined with this significant time of year. Alongside, we’re sharing short stories aimed at fostering a greater appreciation for what makes our country special. https://www.facebook.com/events/1338407123550377/
SEPTEMBER 28: SONDHEIM’S WIT • A Celebration of the late Stephen Sondheim’s lyrics.
Regarded as a titan of American musicals, the late composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim left behind a legacy of extraordinary, award-winning musicals for entire generations to discover and enjoy. Sometimes, however, it takes repeated exposure to some of his lyrics to truly appreciate their wit.
Instead of concentrating on entire shows, in this unique presentation we will narrow our focus to specific lyrics in particular songs, always providing the necessary context to establish an emotional and often humorous connection to his unique wordcraft. https://www.facebook.com/events/832331571834484/
