(Of course, before beginning any exercise regimen, you should consult a medical professional to identify those activities most appropriate given your specific health conditions and circumstances.)...

  • Kandi Carle: “Victorian Lady-Dressing from Corset to Gloves”

    2:00 pm-4:00 pm
    04/12/2022

    Kandie Carle has been working in the theatre for her entire career as an ac-tress, dancer, singer and director throughout the US and abroad. She is currently the Producing Artistic Director of the East Haddam Stage Company in CT in addition to touring throughout the country with her one-woman programs. Ms. Carle created The Victorian Lady to share her passion for the life history reflected in the garments of every day men and women. She has performed at venues including CT Historical Society, Victoria Mansion in Portland Maine, the Cosmopolitan Club in NYC, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the West-gate Hotel in San Diego CA, and the Yacht Club of Savannah GA, among others. The presentation is not a fashion show; rather, Ms. Carle dresses from corset to gloves, with authentic as well as reproduction garments, taking her audience on a journey of discovery by using clothing and accessories as a tool to reflect the era. Throughout the presentation she shares insights into the fashion, lifestyle, manners, and etiquette of men, women and children. Included are interesting anecdotes and ‘myth busting’.

  • Women’s Circle Breakfast

    9:15 am-12:00 pm
    04/13/2022

    The Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark Univ. is the first and only institute of its kind. It is home to a uniquely rich undergraduate program and a landmark doctoral program. Since it was established in 1998, it has gained international standing as the sole program to train students for Ph.D. degrees in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Our speaker today is Prof. Christopher Davey, Visiting Asst. Professor of Genocide Studies and Genocide Prevention at the Strassler Center. His topic is “The Rwandan Genocide: From Independence to Recovery.” Rwanda, like many colonized African states has a turbulent history of struggles for independence, minority discrimination, and civil war. Yet, the mass violence of 1994 in Rwanda and its regional impact is unlike other events on the continent. From April to May 1994, at least 500,000 Rwandans died at an unbelievable pace. This presentation offers a before, middle, and end view of this genocide, including questions about the legacy of the genocide in contemporary Rwanda and the region, based on Prof. Davey’s current research.

    Superstar violinist Joshua Bell joins conductor Alan Gilbert for Beethoven’s expansive Violin Concerto, one of the most popular violin concertos of all time.

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Bernard Rands’s music has been championed by the BSO over the course of his career; the orchestra most recently premiered his Concerto for Piano with soloist Jonathan Biss in 2014. The premiere of his Symphonic Fantasy was originally scheduled for summer 2020. Completing the program is Claude Debussy’s picturesque, symphony-like masterpiece La Mer, in which the composer paints a musical picture of the sea’s many moods and colors. Previous registration required.
