SUMMARY:“Time’s Echo” with Jeremy Eichler and Emanuel Ax
DESCRIPTION:With a critic’s ear\, a scholar’s erudition\, and a novelist’s eye for detail\, Jeremy Eichler shows how four towering composers—Richard Strauss\, Arnold Schoenberg\, Dmitri Shostakovich\, and Benjamin Britten—lived through the era of World War II and the Holocaust. Each composer transformed their experiences into moving\, transcendent works of music\, scores that echo lost time. Summoning the supporting testimony of writers\, poets\, philosophers\, musicians\, and everyday citizens\, Eichler makes a passionate and revelatory case for the power of music as cultural memory\, an art form uniquely capable of carrying forward meaning from the past. Jeremy Eichler is joined in conversation by Emanuel Ax\, Grammy-winning classical pianist. They will discuss how\, by listening to history and learning to hear the resonances of what another era has written\, heard\, dreamed\, hoped\, and mourned\, we can deepen how we think about the legacies of war\, the presence of the past\, and the renewed promise of art for our lives today. A book signing will follow with books available to purchase.

SUMMARY:Sephardic Stories with Elizabeth Graver\, Michael Frank\, Maira Kalman\, and Shoshana Bean
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Graver and Michael Frank come together for a special conversation about two books that capture the stories of two shapeshifting Sephardic women who lived many lives over many decades. Graver’s novel Kantika (“song” in Ladino) draws a fictionalized portrait of her grandmother Rebecca Cohen\, daughter of the Sephardic elite of early twentieth-century Istanbul\, whose journey took her to Cuba\, Spain\, and New York. Michael Frank’s One Hundred Saturdays: Stella Levi and the Search for a Lost World depicts Frank’s six-year-long encounter with Stella Levi\, who was born and came of age in the Juderia of Rhodes\, Greece. Levi was deported to Auschwitz\, along with the rest of her community\, in July of 1944. Both Rebecca and Stella—fierce\, creative\, and vibrant—came to create new lives for themselves in America. Maira Kalman\, who illustrated One Hundred Saturdays\, will join in the conversation. The evening will also include a performance of Sephardic music by singer Shoshana Bean.

SUMMARY:The Forgotten Borough: Staten Island and the Subway
DESCRIPTION:Is transportation destiny? In The Forgotten Borough: Staten Island and the Subway\, historian Kenneth M. Gold argues that the borough’s lack of a subway connection is at the heart of its social\, political\, and historical identity. In his new book\, Gold\, who is also a co-editor of Discovering Staten Island: A 350th Anniversary Commemorative History\, tracks the multiple failed attempts to bring mass transit and transportation infrastructure to Staten Island in the century before the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge changed the borough’s relationship to Greater New York in 1964.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: “The Tennis Champion Who Escaped the Nazis” with Felice Hardy
DESCRIPTION:In 1930\, twenty-six-year-old Liesl Herbst was the Austrian National Tennis Champion and a celebrity in Vienna. Despite her well-known status\, Liesl\, her husband David\, and their child Dorli were forced to flee the Nazis and escape to Britain. In London\, stripped of their Austrian passports and declared “stateless aliens\,” Liesl and Dorli competed at Wimbledon\, becoming the only mother-daughter team to have ever played doubles together in the tournament.
