Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater
Acclaimed at its 1882 premiere for its strong dramatic moments, original melodies, and masterful choral writing, Antonín Dvořák's Dimitrij was widely regarded as one of the most significant works created for the Czech operatic stage. Based on events of 17th-century Russia, Dimitrij resumes where Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov leaves off—vividly depicting the uncertainty, tribal loyalties, and struggles for power in the wake of the revered tsar's death.

Curated by artist Walead Beshty, with works by over 80 artists (ranging from historical documents to major installations), Picture Industry reflects upon transformations in the production and distribution of photographic images as realized through its varied constructions of the corporeal, from its origin as scientific tool and a means of cultural investigation to its phenomenological effects on a viewer. Methodologically, the exhibition complicates traditional accounts of the medium, drawing from photography’s role within science and the humanities to contemporary art. The exhibition encompasses a broad range of photographic practices from the late 19th century to the present.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

1950s: Hollywood & Vine: Jazz Goes West
Thursday, August 3, 2017
A retrospective of 1950's West Coast jazz, where the frenetic sounds of bebop met the laid-back cool of sun and surf in the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Commissioned by the Catskill Jazz Factory, Hollywood & Vine features Aaron Johnson (performing on saxophone, clarinet and flute) and rising vocalist Veronica Swift, backed by an ensemble comprised of a "who's who" of rising players on the New York jazz scene.
At a time when the union of jazz and popular music created new commercial and cinematic possibilities, Los Angeles was a hotbed for these new sounds with releases from the likes of Capitol, Pacific Jazz, and Contemporary Records.
Johnson leads this night with a fresh look at time-tested favorites as well as less recognized gems, drawing from the repertoire of legendary figures such as June Christy and Bob Cooper, Stan Kenton, Julie London, Buddy Collette, Shorty Rogers, and the Lighthouse All-Stars.

1960s: Songs of Protest and Reconciliation
Thursday, August 10, 2017
South African jazz vocalist Vuyo Sotashe performs the politically-charged songs of artists who expressed the cultural revolution of 1960s America through pop, rock, soul, and jazz.
Nina Simone said “art must reflect the times.” From this perspective, Sotashe (a Fulbright scholar and winner of South Africa’s biggest music scholarship competition) creates an evening dedicated to artists whose music deeply expressed and often defined their time.
In addition to music by Simone, Sotashe and his band will perform songs by artists such as Marvin Gaye, Miriam Makeba, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Harry Belafonte.

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater
7:30 pm Preconcert Talk: Leon Botstein
8 pm Chamber and Orchestral Performances
Katarzyna Sądej, mezzo-soprano; Benjamin Hochman, Ke Ma, Erika Switzer, Hélène Tysman,and Orion Weiss, piano; The Orchestra Now, Leon Botstein, conductor
Fryderyk Chopin (1810–49), Variations on “Là ci darem la mano,” Op. 2 (1827); Piano Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21 (1829); Preludes, Op. 28 (1831–38); Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat Major, Op. 61 (1846)
songs and other works.
The first of two all-Chopin performances. Exploiting the festival’s unusual ability to vary the traditional concert format by integrating solo, vocal, and orchestral works within a single event, the program provides an overview of the composer’s all-too-brief career. Highlights include the beloved F-minor Piano Concerto, one of Chopin’s teenage masterpieces; rarely heard songs set to texts by the Polish poets he most favored; and his Variations on “Là ci darem la mano” from Don Giovanni, in the original version for piano and orchestra. It was this work that prompted the young Schumann to exclaim: “Hats off gentlemen, a genius!” and which – when Chopin played it to cap his Parisian debut – would serve as his passport to Europe.

BACK TO (ab)NORMAL: An Evening with Rebecca Havemeyer, Dane Terry, & CHRISTEENE
Saturday, August 12, 2017
Fisher Center, Spiegeltent
Mx. Bond presents a double bill of two rousing cabaret stars -- soulful piano balladeer Dane Terry, and actor Paul Soileau performing as his paradoxical alter egos Rebecca Havemeyer, “Austin’s finest bingo hostess,” and Christeene, feral princess of punk. Raw and raucous, Christeene is a gender-blending, R-rated nightclub star, definitely not for the faint of heart. Lauded as the “millennial Cole Porter,” Dane Terry wowed the Spiegeltent in last summer’s House of Whimsy. These artists will seduce, amuse, and shock, with a sweet-salty smorgasbord of the very best of today’s queer performance.

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of John Cage’s Musicircus, first mounted in the Livestock Pavilion at the University of Illinois in 1967, the John Cage Trust joins with musicians from the Bard College Conservatory of Music and its extended community for a celebratory performance of this historically significant and gloriously anarchic work. Befitting a circus, Musicircus features chance-determined performances by more than 40 musicians—often simultaneous, always surprising—both inside and outdoors. A family-friendly, free event to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Cage’s death and his ongoing legacy.

Curated by artist Walead Beshty, with works by over 80 artists (ranging from historical documents to major installations), Picture Industry reflects upon transformations in the production and distribution of photographic images as realized through its varied constructions of the corporeal, from its origin as scientific tool and a means of cultural investigation to its phenomenological effects on a viewer. Methodologically, the exhibition complicates traditional accounts of the medium, drawing from photography’s role within science and the humanities to contemporary art. The exhibition encompasses a broad range of photographic practices from the late 19th century to the present.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

Myopic Books, 1564 N. Milwaukee Ave., Wicker Park, Chicago
On Saturday, August 26, at 7:00 p.m., Myopic Books celebrates the literary journal Conjunctions with a reading by contributors Amy England and A. D. Jameson at 1564 North Milwaukee Avenue. Copies of Conjunctions:68, Inside Out: Architectures of Experience will be available for sale. The event is free and open to the public; seating is first-come / first-served. RSVP on Facebook.
The literary journal Conjunctions, edited by novelist Bradford Morrow and published by Bard College, has been a living notebook for provocative, innovative, immaculately crafted fiction, poetry, and narrative nonfiction since 1981. As Karen Russell has said, “Conjunctions is a translation into a multiverse of stories and poems and essays and even weirder hybrid forms, the mutant menagerie of literary fiction. I read it with Christmas pleasure.” Rick Moody agrees: “Without a doubt, Conjunctions is the best literary magazine in America.”
Located in the heart of Wicker Park, Myopic Books has been voted Chicago’s favorite and best used bookstore by Chicago Magazine, Chicago Reader, and Concierge Preferred. With music and poetry series, over seventy thousand books, and incredible staff recommendations, it's long been at the heart of the Chicago’s independent literary community. Myopic’s thriving Saturday poetry reading series, curated by poet and milkmag.org editor Larry Sawyer since 2004, has recently featured authors such as Eileen Myles, Ron Silliman, Bernadette Mayer, and Tim Kinsella.
Note that this event’s second-floor venue may not be accessible to those with mobility impairments. If you wish to attend but are restricted from doing so by the stair access, please let us know at [email protected].
AMY ENGLAND is the author of The Flute Ship Castricum, Victory and Her Opposites: A Guide (both Tupelo), and the book of collages For the Reckless Sleeper (American Letters and Commentary). Her work has appeared in numerous journals, including Conjunctions’ online edition, and her anthology publications include Robert Hass’s 2001 edition of Best American Poetry. She is the editor of the poetry chapbook publisher Transparent Tiger Press, and teaches poetics, surrealism, and writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
“Place and motion, place in motion, and the place of motion in our lives—Amy England’s work grapples with these issues, and through them, with the issue of presence. These poems are the present, and the reader becomes more present within them. Whether it’s Japan or Chicago, the white rooms of an empty house or the empty walls of a monastery, a vivid magical-realist sense of possibility laces these evocative locations together—swiftly— England’s work is a new form of traveling.” —Cole Swensen
“A. D. Jameson is a pretty much a monster when it comes to corrupting familiar characters, folding, spindling and mutilating existing forms, and generally bankrupting your appreciation of traditional narrative.” —H_NGM_N

1950s: Hollywood & Vine: Jazz Goes West
The Aaron Johnson Ensemble, featuring Veronica Swift
Thursday, August 3, 2017
8 pm
A retrospective of 1950's West Coast jazz, where the frenetic sounds of bebop met the laid-back cool of sun and surf in the Golden Age of Hollywood.Commissioned by the Catskill Jazz Factory, Hollywood & Vine features Aaron Johnson (performing on saxophone, clarinet and flute) and rising vocalist Veronica Swift, backed by an ensemble comprised of a "who's who" of rising players on the New York jazz scene.
At a time when the union of jazz and popular music created new commercial and cinematic possibilities, Los Angeles was a hotbed for these new sounds with releases from the likes of Capitol, Pacific Jazz, and Contemporary Records.
Johnson leads this night with a fresh look at time-tested favorites as well as less recognized gems, drawing from the repertoire of legendary figures such as June Christy and Bob Cooper, Stan Kenton, Julie London, Buddy Collette, Shorty Rogers, and the Lighthouse All-Stars.

Program One
The Genius of Chopin
Friday, August 11, 2017
8 pm
Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater7:30 pm Preconcert Talk: Leon Botstein
8 pm Chamber and Orchestral Performances
Katarzyna Sądej, mezzo-soprano; Benjamin Hochman, Ke Ma, Erika Switzer, Hélène Tysman,and Orion Weiss, piano; The Orchestra Now, Leon Botstein, conductor
Fryderyk Chopin (1810–49), Variations on “Là ci darem la mano,” Op. 2 (1827); Piano Concerto in F Minor, Op. 21 (1829); Preludes, Op. 28 (1831–38); Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat Major, Op. 61 (1846)
songs and other works.
The first of two all-Chopin performances. Exploiting the festival’s unusual ability to vary the traditional concert format by integrating solo, vocal, and orchestral works within a single event, the program provides an overview of the composer’s all-too-brief career. Highlights include the beloved F-minor Piano Concerto, one of Chopin’s teenage masterpieces; rarely heard songs set to texts by the Polish poets he most favored; and his Variations on “Là ci darem la mano” from Don Giovanni, in the original version for piano and orchestra. It was this work that prompted the young Schumann to exclaim: “Hats off gentlemen, a genius!” and which – when Chopin played it to cap his Parisian debut – would serve as his passport to Europe.

BACK TO (ab)NORMAL: An Evening with Rebecca Havemeyer, Dane Terry, & CHRISTEENE
Saturday, August 12, 2017
8:30 pm
Fisher Center, SpiegeltentMx. Bond presents a double bill of two rousing cabaret stars -- soulful piano balladeer Dane Terry, and actor Paul Soileau performing as his paradoxical alter egos Rebecca Havemeyer, “Austin’s finest bingo hostess,” and Christeene, feral princess of punk. Raw and raucous, Christeene is a gender-blending, R-rated nightclub star, definitely not for the faint of heart. Lauded as the “millennial Cole Porter,” Dane Terry wowed the Spiegeltent in last summer’s House of Whimsy. These artists will seduce, amuse, and shock, with a sweet-salty smorgasbord of the very best of today’s queer performance.

A Conjunctions Reading by Amy England & A. D. Jameson
The fourth reading in the Cities Series, presented by Conjunctions and the Bard Office of Alumni/ae Affairs, takes place at Myopic Books in Chicago
Saturday, August 26, 2017
7 pm
Myopic Books, 1564 N. Milwaukee Ave., Wicker Park, ChicagoOn Saturday, August 26, at 7:00 p.m., Myopic Books celebrates the literary journal Conjunctions with a reading by contributors Amy England and A. D. Jameson at 1564 North Milwaukee Avenue. Copies of Conjunctions:68, Inside Out: Architectures of Experience will be available for sale. The event is free and open to the public; seating is first-come / first-served. RSVP on Facebook.
The literary journal Conjunctions, edited by novelist Bradford Morrow and published by Bard College, has been a living notebook for provocative, innovative, immaculately crafted fiction, poetry, and narrative nonfiction since 1981. As Karen Russell has said, “Conjunctions is a translation into a multiverse of stories and poems and essays and even weirder hybrid forms, the mutant menagerie of literary fiction. I read it with Christmas pleasure.” Rick Moody agrees: “Without a doubt, Conjunctions is the best literary magazine in America.”
Located in the heart of Wicker Park, Myopic Books has been voted Chicago’s favorite and best used bookstore by Chicago Magazine, Chicago Reader, and Concierge Preferred. With music and poetry series, over seventy thousand books, and incredible staff recommendations, it's long been at the heart of the Chicago’s independent literary community. Myopic’s thriving Saturday poetry reading series, curated by poet and milkmag.org editor Larry Sawyer since 2004, has recently featured authors such as Eileen Myles, Ron Silliman, Bernadette Mayer, and Tim Kinsella.
Note that this event’s second-floor venue may not be accessible to those with mobility impairments. If you wish to attend but are restricted from doing so by the stair access, please let us know at [email protected].
ABOUT THE READERS
AMY ENGLAND is the author of The Flute Ship Castricum, Victory and Her Opposites: A Guide (both Tupelo), and the book of collages For the Reckless Sleeper (American Letters and Commentary). Her work has appeared in numerous journals, including Conjunctions’ online edition, and her anthology publications include Robert Hass’s 2001 edition of Best American Poetry. She is the editor of the poetry chapbook publisher Transparent Tiger Press, and teaches poetics, surrealism, and writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
“Place and motion, place in motion, and the place of motion in our lives—Amy England’s work grapples with these issues, and through them, with the issue of presence. These poems are the present, and the reader becomes more present within them. Whether it’s Japan or Chicago, the white rooms of an empty house or the empty walls of a monastery, a vivid magical-realist sense of possibility laces these evocative locations together—swiftly— England’s work is a new form of traveling.” —Cole Swensen
***
A. D. JAMESON is the author of five books, including Cinemaps, a collaboration with artist Andrew DeGraff, forthcoming in late October 2017 from Quirk Books, as well as a critical book on geek culture, forthcoming in 2018 from FSG. He’s currently a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois in Chicago, where he teaches writing and film studies, and is finishing his dissertation, a collection of five hundred short fantasy, horror, and science-fiction stories. His writing has appeared in Conjunctions:57, Kin and elsewhere.“A. D. Jameson is a pretty much a monster when it comes to corrupting familiar characters, folding, spindling and mutilating existing forms, and generally bankrupting your appreciation of traditional narrative.” —H_NGM_N

Picture Industry
Thursday, August 31, 2017
11 am – 6 pm
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of ArtCurated by artist Walead Beshty, with works by over 80 artists (ranging from historical documents to major installations), Picture Industry reflects upon transformations in the production and distribution of photographic images as realized through its varied constructions of the corporeal, from its origin as scientific tool and a means of cultural investigation to its phenomenological effects on a viewer. Methodologically, the exhibition complicates traditional accounts of the medium, drawing from photography’s role within science and the humanities to contemporary art. The exhibition encompasses a broad range of photographic practices from the late 19th century to the present.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.

A Conjunctions Reading by Amy England & A. D. Jameson
The fourth reading in the Cities Series, presented by Conjunctions and the Bard Office of Alumni/ae Affairs, takes place at Myopic Books in Chicago
Saturday, August 26, 2017
7 pm
On Saturday, August 26, at 7:00 p.m., Myopic Books celebrates the literary journal Conjunctions with a reading by contributors Amy England and A. D. Jameson at 1564 North Milwaukee Avenue. Copies of Conjunctions:68, Inside Out: Architectures of Experience will be available for sale. The event is free and open to the public; seating is first-come / first-served. RSVP on Facebook.
The literary journal Conjunctions, edited by novelist Bradford Morrow and published by Bard College, has been a living notebook for provocative, innovative, immaculately crafted fiction, poetry, and narrative nonfiction since 1981. As Karen Russell has said, “Conjunctions is a translation into a multiverse of stories and poems and essays and even weirder hybrid forms, the mutant menagerie of literary fiction. I read it with Christmas pleasure.” Rick Moody agrees: “Without a doubt, Conjunctions is the best literary magazine in America.”
Located in the heart of Wicker Park, Myopic Books has been voted Chicago’s favorite and best used bookstore by Chicago Magazine, Chicago Reader, and Concierge Preferred. With music and poetry series, over seventy thousand books, and incredible staff recommendations, it's long been at the heart of the Chicago’s independent literary community. Myopic’s thriving Saturday poetry reading series, curated by poet and milkmag.org editor Larry Sawyer since 2004, has recently featured authors such as Eileen Myles, Ron Silliman, Bernadette Mayer, and Tim Kinsella.
Note that this event’s second-floor venue may not be accessible to those with mobility impairments. If you wish to attend but are restricted from doing so by the stair access, please let us know at [email protected].
ABOUT THE READERS
AMY ENGLAND is the author of The Flute Ship Castricum, Victory and Her Opposites: A Guide (both Tupelo), and the book of collages For the Reckless Sleeper (American Letters and Commentary). Her work has appeared in numerous journals, including Conjunctions’ online edition, and her anthology publications include Robert Hass’s 2001 edition of Best American Poetry. She is the editor of the poetry chapbook publisher Transparent Tiger Press, and teaches poetics, surrealism, and writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
“Place and motion, place in motion, and the place of motion in our lives—Amy England’s work grapples with these issues, and through them, with the issue of presence. These poems are the present, and the reader becomes more present within them. Whether it’s Japan or Chicago, the white rooms of an empty house or the empty walls of a monastery, a vivid magical-realist sense of possibility laces these evocative locations together—swiftly— England’s work is a new form of traveling.” —Cole Swensen
***
A. D. JAMESON is the author of five books, including Cinemaps, a collaboration with artist Andrew DeGraff, forthcoming in late October 2017 from Quirk Books, as well as a critical book on geek culture, forthcoming in 2018 from FSG. He’s currently a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois in Chicago, where he teaches writing and film studies, and is finishing his dissertation, a collection of five hundred short fantasy, horror, and science-fiction stories. His writing has appeared in Conjunctions:57, Kin and elsewhere.“A. D. Jameson is a pretty much a monster when it comes to corrupting familiar characters, folding, spindling and mutilating existing forms, and generally bankrupting your appreciation of traditional narrative.” —H_NGM_N
