SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Hands to Earth with Patty Rosenblatt
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Patty Rosenblatt and her co-presenter and video collaborator Kathryn Brodie for a special artist talk that explores the evolution of Hands to Earth and the environmental concerns that shape it. \nRosenblatt noted that green space is disappearing so rapidly that it might soon be possible for people to live their lives without ever touching the earth under their feet. Hands to Earth is her proposal to encourage others to engage with the Earth. \nThis program provides an opportunity to look back at Rosenblatt’s project through conversation\, artwork\, and film. Her series\, First Violin\, An Octave of Prints\, which will be on display\, offers a powerful visual example of her process and material exploration. \nWe invite you to join us for an engaging afternoon of art\, reflection\, and dialogue about touch\, transformation\, and our shared responsibility to the natural world. \nwww.newartcenter.org

SUMMARY:Cappella Clausura Presents Worthy of the Highest Praise: Bembo and Vivaldi
DESCRIPTION:“Worthy of the Highest Praise: Bembo and Vivaldi”\nMay 16th at 4 PM – Grace Episcopal Church on Newton \nAre you familiar with the name “Antonia Bembo”? How about “Antonio Vivaldi”? I’d wager that you’re familiar with the latter but not the former – which is exactly the point. \nAntonia Bembo was an Italian composer and singer of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The reason you haven’t heard of her isn’t because her music is underwhelming: Bembo’s talent actually took her from Italy to France\, where she was employed by King Louis XIV as a composer and singer. Her music has been unduly neglected because of her gender; she is every bit as good as her male contemporaries\, and we’re proving it by putting her music side-by-side with the Vivaldi Gloria – one of the classics of the choral repertoire – and letting you draw your own conclusions. \nAccording to one etymology\, the name “Antonia/o means “worthy of praise”. In this little-heard work by Antonia Bembo\, you’ll hear that she’s just as praiseworthy as any Antonio. \nFeaturing music by: Antonia Bembo\, Antonio Vivaldi\, and others
