Online Event The VRG is on break until January. Beginning Friday, January 23, we'll read Crises of the Republic. In this collection of four essays, Hannah Arendt investigates the political ruptures of the twentieth century—probing civil disobedience, violence, bureaucratic power, and the erosion of authority. With her unsparing clarity and historical insight, Arendt illuminates the pressures that distort democratic life and the possibilities for renewed political action. Urgent and thought-provoking, Crises of the Republic offers a vital framework for understanding the challenges that continue to shape our public world.
The Virtual Reading Group is free to HAC members and to the Bard College community. Email [email protected] to learn more.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center.

Online Event The VRG is on break until January. Beginning Friday, January 23, we'll read Crises of the Republic. In this collection of four essays, Hannah Arendt investigates the political ruptures of the twentieth century—probing civil disobedience, violence, bureaucratic power, and the erosion of authority. With her unsparing clarity and historical insight, Arendt illuminates the pressures that distort democratic life and the possibilities for renewed political action. Urgent and thought-provoking, Crises of the Republic offers a vital framework for understanding the challenges that continue to shape our public world.
The Virtual Reading Group is free to HAC members and to the Bard College community. Email [email protected] to learn more.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center.

Yevhen Stankovych The Vikings Suite (U.S. Premiere)
Ukrainian musicians Tatiana Kalinichenko—co-founder, music director, and conductor of the New Era Orchestra in Kyiv—and violinist Dmytro Tkachenko—winner of the Carl Nielsen, Lysenko, and Wronski Solo Violin Competitions—bring their artistry to the Fisher Center for a one-night-only concert with TŌN. Tkachenko performs Dvořák’s elaborate and lyrical Violin Concerto, which includes a uniquely Czech finale featuring two popular folk dances. Kalinichenko also shares music by three Ukrainian composers with Fisher Center audiences: Levko Kolodub’s luxurious Ukrainian Carpathian Rhapsody No. 1; Yevhen Stankovych’s expressive suite of music from his ballet The Vikings; and Victoria Poleva’s powerful and triumphant 2022 composition Nova, a salute to the courage of the Ukrainian people.
