SUMMARY:CANCELLED: The Music in the Cupboard: Performance and Lecture with Dominique Hellsten and Craig Ketter
DESCRIPTION:“Music can diminish evil” Viktor Ullmann 1898 –1941 Among the many cultural victims of the Holocaust was an adventurous composer named Viktor Ullmann\, who had an affinity for music that the Nazis labeled “ degenerate.” Born in a Habsburg Empire province on the eve of the new century\, he lived and worked in Austria\, Switzerland\, Germany and Czechoslovakia\, before being deported to Theresienstadt in 1942 and eventually murdered in Auschwitz on October 18th\, 1944. Ullmann first studied briefly with Schönberg\, and later with Zemlinsky. In 2015\, Ms. Hellsten founded the Ullmann Project\, in order to make Viktor Ullmann’s music more widely known. Its inaugural recital at Merkin 13 \nHall was very well received by the audience and reviewers alike. Dominique Hellsten\, a Swedish-born soprano\, has led a successful career as a freelance opera and concert artist throughout Europe. Her engagements include appearances at the Royal Albert Hall\, St Patrick’s Cathedral\, Merkin Hall\, and at Caramoor\, NY. She is also a champion of New Music\, having commissioned several works for her\, notably the cantata Phèdre\, by French-Lebanese composer Naji Hakim. Ms. Hellsten is a voice teacher and maintains a studio in Westchester County. \nPianist Craig Ketter has distinguished himself as a much sought-after pianist\, accompanist\, and vocal coach in the New York City area and beyond. As a soloist\, Mr. Ketter has performed with many orchestras and symphonies and his solo concerts have taken him to Mexico\, Argentina\, Barbados\, France\, Germany\, Japan\, and across the United States and Canada. Mr. Ketter regularly joins forces with international singers and chamber groups. Venues include NPR’s Performance Today series\, CBS Sunday Morning\, Sirius Satellite Radio\, Carnegie Hall\, Avery Fisher Hall\, the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires\, La Huaca\, Atlapa in Panama City\, and more.

SUMMARY:When the War Came: Three Households on the Palisades Face the Civil War with Eric Nelson
DESCRIPTION:When the War Came: Three Households on the Palisades Face the Civil War with Eric Nelson \nWhile no battles were fought in Hudson Valley\, the effects of the Civil War were felt throughout the region. In the tiny riverfront settlement of Closter Landing on the New Jersey Palisades\, around a dozen men from several families volunteered for the Union. Historical interpreter Eric Nelsen investigates three of these households\, each headed by a widow\, whose sons went off to fight. Eric Nelson has 11 \nbeen a historical interpreter for the Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey since 1992\, full time since ’98. He has been fascinated with all aspects of the Palisades and the park\, and still considers it an honor to share the legacy of conservation it represents. The “Ghosts” program is a particular passion. To realize that the park was once home to several hundred families is an incredible thought. Who were these people? What became of them? And\, how do stories such as theirs seem to disappear from public knowledge? Those are the questions I hope to explore with this program.

SUMMARY:Words\, Symbols\, and Acts of Hate
DESCRIPTION:The 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville\, Virginia and the 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting were significant moments in recent United States history\, as they revealed a persistence of hatred and overt discrimination that some Americans believed was a thing of the past. This presentation will focus on the recent increase in hate speech\, hate symbols and hate crimes we are witnessing in our schools and communities. Issues such as First Amendment rights and limitations will be discussed as they apply to hate speech and nonverbal symbols.

She is a recipient of the Louis Yavner Teacher Award for Teaching about the Holocaust and Other Human Rights Violations and she is a former president of the Westchester Council for the Social Studies.
