Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars, and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. Now, for the first time, their story is told as a feature documentary. Written, produced, and directed by Roberta Grossman and executive produced by Nancy Spielberg, Who Will Write Our History mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive with new interviews, rarely seen footage, and stunning dramatizations to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon—the truth—and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not.Sponsored by: Jewish Student Organization; Jewish Studies Program.

"The Neural Basis of Pre-conditioning to Oxygen Deprivation in C. elegans"
Neurons need oxygen to work, and insufficient supply of oxygen (hypoxia), or the complete lack of it (anoxia), can cause neuronal dysfunction or even death. In some animals, including a soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a mild stress prior to more severe hypoxic or anoxic event (known as “pre-conditioning”) can protect neurons from oxygen deprivation, and improve their survival. The mechanisms of this protection, and the overall role of nervous system in pre-conditioning to oxygen deprivation, are however not well understood. In this talk, we will learn about C. elegans as a model to study effects of oxygen deprivation on the neural system, and will discuss new results in this field.Sponsored by: Biology Program.

Bard Globalization & International Affairs Program 108 West 39th Street, Suite 1000-A, NY, NY
Maryum Saifee, career diplomat and fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, will be in conversation with Faraz Sanei of Cardozo Law School about the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), legal implications and activism around the issue.
There have been several recent court cases involving FGM. A typical defense argument is that the practice of FGM is protected under religious freedom. The purpose of the discussion will be to gain a better understanding of FGM in the United States, how religious freedom relates to FGM, and transnational advocacy efforts to end the practice.
This is part of BGIA’s James Chace Lecture series and is supported by Foreign Affairs magazine.

The Venerable Tenzin Yignyen
Monday, May 6, 2019 – Friday, May 10, 2019
Reem-Kayden Center Lobby
From Monday, May 6, to Friday, May 10, the Venerable Tenzin Yignyen, a Tibetan monk from the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery and professor of Tibetan Buddhist studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, will construct a sand mandala of the Buddha of Compassion in the lobby of the Reem-Kayden Center on the Bard College campus. Community members are invited to observe the process of construction and to speak with Lama Tenzin during his work, from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm each weekday. On Friday morning at 9:00am, the mandala will be dismantled, and the sand taken in procession to the waterfall on Bard campus, where it will be sent off toward the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean.
“Mandala is an ancient Buddhist art form used for meditation, as taught by the Buddha Shakyamuni 2,500 years ago,” says Lama Tenzin. “It is said that the seed of enlightenment in each person’s mind is nourished by the dynamic process of visualizing and contemplating a mandala. The mandala is also a visual form of Buddha’s enlightened compassion and wisdom.”
The Venerable Tenzin Yignyen is a monk belonging to Namgyal Monastery, the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery. He was born in the Tibetan village of Phari, and fled with his family to India after the 1959 Chinese invasion of Tibet. Monastery trained, he is a master of sutra and tantra. He has taught and constructed mandalas at many places, including Los Angeles’s Natural History Museum, Windstar Foundation, Cleveland Museum of Art, Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery, The Asia Society, Trinity College, St. Lawrence College, and Cornell University. He has taught at Hobart and William Smith Colleges since 1998. He has visited Bard College since 2007; this will be his seventh mandala construction here.

The traditional approach to financial theory assumes that any profitable speculation in financial markets will have stabilizing effects on prices. Speculation could only be destabilizing if investors, on average, bought high and sold low. Since this strategy would be unprofitable, speculation should dampen fluctuations as “arbitrageurs” bet against speculative bubbles. Despite the large body of theoretical and empirical work in favor of the idea that speculation has destabilizing effects on asset prices, the “traditional view” has still been used to argue that bank lending for the speculative purchase of assets will reduce price volatility. In this paper, I argue that financial intermediaries play a role in perpetuating periods of overvaluation through the extension of credit used for speculation. Using a Markov-switching vector autoregressive model with time-varying transition probabilities, I show that the expected duration of a “bull market” is dependent on the portfolio decisions of financial and nonfinancial sectors. As such, when the banking system lends against collateral, which is itself the object of speculation, asset price bubbles can persist, even when a growing share of investors believes that assets are overvalued.Sponsored by: Dean of the College; Economics and Finance Program.

La Musique Sacrée: Musical Traditions of Notre Dame de Paris—From the Middle Ages to the Fire of 2019
Tuesday, May 7, 2019
Blum N217
The Cathedral of Notre Dame is the lodestone that tips the compass of every visitor to Paris. In addition to its seminal Gothic architecture, the Cathedral claims a unique place in Western music, first as the birthplace of polyphonic vocal composition and later as the standard-setting center of keyboard improvisation, symbolized by the Cathedral’s long list of distinguished organists and its magnificent pipe organ that has been witness to six centuries of musical development. A cultural artifact that survived the French Revolution, two world wars, and even the devastating fire of April 15, 2019, the organ symbolizes the enduring strength of the Notre Dame musical tradition. This lecture will present an overview of the music practices born in this sacred space and provide an intimate perspective on the organ, the music, and the musicians who have filled the Cathedral’s vast nave with glorious sounds.

This presentation narrates and analyzes the struggle for women’s suffrage in Lebanon between political independence in 1943 and the first parliamentary elections in which women participated in 1953. In doing so, it takes into account the views expressed and strategies pursued by different women’s organizations. Of particular interest is the 1950 formation of the Executive Committee of Women’s Organizations in Lebanon, which served as the key node around which Lebanese women sought to secure their suffrage rights, including issuing statements, organizing demonstrations, and building alliances with politicians, political parties, and select constituencies. A key concern of the analysis presented is the changes and continuities between the 1943–53 mobilizations for women’s suffrage and women’s activism in the colonial period. It therefore accounts for the contexts and contingencies that revived mobilizations for women’s suffrage in 1943 (after years of dormancy) and secured it in 1953. Rather than an inevitable consequence of independence, women’s suffrage emerges as the product of women’s agency and strategic decision-making within a complex set of contexts and contingencies involving postcolonial state building, intra-elite rivalries, and shifting norms of development, governance, and citizenship.Sponsored by: Gender and Sexuality Studies Program; Historical Studies Program; Human Rights Program; Human Rights Project; Middle Eastern Studies Program.

The Venerable Tenzin Yignyen
Monday, May 6, 2019 – Friday, May 10, 2019
Reem-Kayden Center Lobby
From Monday, May 6, to Friday, May 10, the Venerable Tenzin Yignyen, a Tibetan monk from the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery and professor of Tibetan Buddhist studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, will construct a sand mandala of the Buddha of Compassion in the lobby of the Reem-Kayden Center on the Bard College campus. Community members are invited to observe the process of construction and to speak with Lama Tenzin during his work, from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm each weekday. On Friday morning at 9:00am, the mandala will be dismantled, and the sand taken in procession to the waterfall on Bard campus, where it will be sent off toward the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean.
“Mandala is an ancient Buddhist art form used for meditation, as taught by the Buddha Shakyamuni 2,500 years ago,” says Lama Tenzin. “It is said that the seed of enlightenment in each person’s mind is nourished by the dynamic process of visualizing and contemplating a mandala. The mandala is also a visual form of Buddha’s enlightened compassion and wisdom.”
The Venerable Tenzin Yignyen is a monk belonging to Namgyal Monastery, the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery. He was born in the Tibetan village of Phari, and fled with his family to India after the 1959 Chinese invasion of Tibet. Monastery trained, he is a master of sutra and tantra. He has taught and constructed mandalas at many places, including Los Angeles’s Natural History Museum, Windstar Foundation, Cleveland Museum of Art, Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery, The Asia Society, Trinity College, St. Lawrence College, and Cornell University. He has taught at Hobart and William Smith Colleges since 1998. He has visited Bard College since 2007; this will be his seventh mandala construction here.

Cosmological parameter inferences based on Planck’s measurements of the cosmic microwave background are currently in tension with various measurements of the late-time universe. I will introduce the currently standard LCDM cosmological paradigm, and discuss the evidence against it, presenting my own take on how everything might fit together at the end of the day. Hopefully one thing will be clear by the end: we’re in the middle of one of the most interesting periods in cosmology of the past 15 years!Sponsored by: Physics Program.

In this interdisciplinary conference, advanced students in Spanish studies will propose a possible archeology of autobiographical visual and written accounts produced in Spain, put in dialogue with Latin American and French cultural manifestations. We will focus on some of the numerous literary, film, and photography productions of our cultural present that seek to undermine the foundations of the split between fiction and reality. In this context, following Don Quixote, fiction will be understood as the space wherein the self—the author or the artist, the reader or the viewer—experiences, and experiments with, the world. Some questions that will arise in the students’ presentations are: What are the limits of art and literature? How does life interfere with fiction? How does fiction operate within life?
Open to all. In Spanish. Please join us on Friday, May 10, 1–3 pm, in RKC 102.Sponsored by: Spanish Studies.

Mud Bog is a set of new oil paintings examining the social and economic hardship that present-day rural Americans endure, and the rancorous state of political and cultural division that results. This collection also identifies the forces that exacerbate and intensify that chasm. With often unexpected, semantic use of color, Mud Bog is composed to make the audience think twice -- and keep thinking, long after viewing the paintings.

Montgomery Place, Mansion
This is the first event in the Montgomery Place Spring Salon Series on Music of the Gilded Age. It is a recital with Christopher Brellochs playing saxophone and Rita Costanzi playing the harp.
Cora Livingston Barton and her husband Thomas Barton expanded the Montgomery Place estate to better capture the Romantic sensibilities of the time; music filled the house and the farming operations become more separated from the “pleasure gardens.” It was 1860 and the beginning of the Gilded Age; relatives such as Major General Richard Delafield, who was stationed at West Point, inspired the dedication of musical compositions such as “Florida March” and “Manassas March.” This performance will be a unique opportunity to hear these forgotten gems and experience music at Montgomery Place like Cora and Thomas did more than 150 years ago. Spring Salon Series on Music of the Gilded Age is hosted in partnership with Hudson River Heritage and coproduced and curated by Christopher Brellochs.

This paper introduces the Systemic Risk Index (SRI), a single country-wide measure of systemic risk that can pinpoint problems at various financial markets which could develop if ignored into financial crises. SRI is based on the financial instability hypothesis of Hyman Minsky and, although it does not fully reflect all the ideas postulated in the hypothesis, it contributes to the literature on financial stability and monetary policy by providing an applied model of systemic risk. The model was applied to U.S. data from 1962 to 2016 and indicated significant accumulation of systemic risk prior to major recent financial crises like the global financial crisis in 2008 and the dot-com bubble in 2000.

Montgomery Place, Mansion
During the early 19th century, the gardener at Montgomery Place was an African American slave named Alexander Gilson, who, after being freed, stayed on to continue as head gardener. He eventually opened his own nursery business. Downriver in Newburgh, New York, composer Ulysses J. Alsdorf, whose grandfather was freed by the Manumission Act of New York State on July 4, 1827, had a similar life journey. The Alsdorfs were entrepreneurs, involved in everything from catering to dance schools, and became prominent citizens of the thriving Hudson Valley City of Newburgh. Ulysses J. Alsdorf’s music was used to celebrate the Newburgh portion of the 1909 Henry Hudson–Robert Fulton Celebration, when a steamboat traveled from Manhattan to Albany, stopping in Newburgh. His music will do the same for this event, 110 years later. This event is a part of the Spring Salon Series on Music of the Gilded Age.

Film: Who Will Write Our History
Featuring the voices of three-time Academy Award nominee Joan Allen and Academy Award winner Adrien Brody
Wednesday, May 1, 2019
6–8:30 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumIn November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars, and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. Now, for the first time, their story is told as a feature documentary. Written, produced, and directed by Roberta Grossman and executive produced by Nancy Spielberg, Who Will Write Our History mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive with new interviews, rarely seen footage, and stunning dramatizations to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon—the truth—and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not.Sponsored by: Jewish Student Organization; Jewish Studies Program.

"The Neural Basis of Pre-conditioning to Oxygen Deprivation in C. elegans"
Neurons need oxygen to work, and insufficient supply of oxygen (hypoxia), or the complete lack of it (anoxia), can cause neuronal dysfunction or even death. In some animals, including a soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a mild stress prior to more severe hypoxic or anoxic event (known as “pre-conditioning”) can protect neurons from oxygen deprivation, and improve their survival. The mechanisms of this protection, and the overall role of nervous system in pre-conditioning to oxygen deprivation, are however not well understood. In this talk, we will learn about C. elegans as a model to study effects of oxygen deprivation on the neural system, and will discuss new results in this field.Sponsored by: Biology Program.

The Debate over Religious Freedom and Female Genital Mutilation
Thursday, May 2, 2019
6–8 pm
Bard Globalization & International Affairs Program 108 West 39th Street, Suite 1000-A, NY, NYMaryum Saifee, career diplomat and fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, will be in conversation with Faraz Sanei of Cardozo Law School about the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), legal implications and activism around the issue.
There have been several recent court cases involving FGM. A typical defense argument is that the practice of FGM is protected under religious freedom. The purpose of the discussion will be to gain a better understanding of FGM in the United States, how religious freedom relates to FGM, and transnational advocacy efforts to end the practice.
This is part of BGIA’s James Chace Lecture series and is supported by Foreign Affairs magazine.

Reem-Kayden Center LobbyFrom Monday, May 6, to Friday, May 10, the Venerable Tenzin Yignyen, a Tibetan monk from the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery and professor of Tibetan Buddhist studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, will construct a sand mandala of the Buddha of Compassion in the lobby of the Reem-Kayden Center on the Bard College campus. Community members are invited to observe the process of construction and to speak with Lama Tenzin during his work, from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm each weekday. On Friday morning at 9:00am, the mandala will be dismantled, and the sand taken in procession to the waterfall on Bard campus, where it will be sent off toward the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean.
“Mandala is an ancient Buddhist art form used for meditation, as taught by the Buddha Shakyamuni 2,500 years ago,” says Lama Tenzin. “It is said that the seed of enlightenment in each person’s mind is nourished by the dynamic process of visualizing and contemplating a mandala. The mandala is also a visual form of Buddha’s enlightened compassion and wisdom.”
The Venerable Tenzin Yignyen is a monk belonging to Namgyal Monastery, the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery. He was born in the Tibetan village of Phari, and fled with his family to India after the 1959 Chinese invasion of Tibet. Monastery trained, he is a master of sutra and tantra. He has taught and constructed mandalas at many places, including Los Angeles’s Natural History Museum, Windstar Foundation, Cleveland Museum of Art, Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery, The Asia Society, Trinity College, St. Lawrence College, and Cornell University. He has taught at Hobart and William Smith Colleges since 1998. He has visited Bard College since 2007; this will be his seventh mandala construction here.

Banking on Bubbles: Credit Creation and the Persistence of Bull Markets
Dustin Hamalainen
Department of Economics
University of Utah
Tuesday, May 7, 2019
4:45–5:45 pm
Olin, Room 203The traditional approach to financial theory assumes that any profitable speculation in financial markets will have stabilizing effects on prices. Speculation could only be destabilizing if investors, on average, bought high and sold low. Since this strategy would be unprofitable, speculation should dampen fluctuations as “arbitrageurs” bet against speculative bubbles. Despite the large body of theoretical and empirical work in favor of the idea that speculation has destabilizing effects on asset prices, the “traditional view” has still been used to argue that bank lending for the speculative purchase of assets will reduce price volatility. In this paper, I argue that financial intermediaries play a role in perpetuating periods of overvaluation through the extension of credit used for speculation. Using a Markov-switching vector autoregressive model with time-varying transition probabilities, I show that the expected duration of a “bull market” is dependent on the portfolio decisions of financial and nonfinancial sectors. As such, when the banking system lends against collateral, which is itself the object of speculation, asset price bubbles can persist, even when a growing share of investors believes that assets are overvalued.Sponsored by: Dean of the College; Economics and Finance Program.

Lecture by Renée Anne Louprette
La Musique Sacrée: Musical Traditions of Notre Dame de Paris—From the Middle Ages to the Fire of 2019
Tuesday, May 7, 2019
5–6 pm
Blum N217The Cathedral of Notre Dame is the lodestone that tips the compass of every visitor to Paris. In addition to its seminal Gothic architecture, the Cathedral claims a unique place in Western music, first as the birthplace of polyphonic vocal composition and later as the standard-setting center of keyboard improvisation, symbolized by the Cathedral’s long list of distinguished organists and its magnificent pipe organ that has been witness to six centuries of musical development. A cultural artifact that survived the French Revolution, two world wars, and even the devastating fire of April 15, 2019, the organ symbolizes the enduring strength of the Notre Dame musical tradition. This lecture will present an overview of the music practices born in this sacred space and provide an intimate perspective on the organ, the music, and the musicians who have filled the Cathedral’s vast nave with glorious sounds.

Getting the Vote: Suffrage and the Women’s Movement in Post-Independence Lebanon, a talk by Ziad Abu-Rish
Tuesday, May 7, 2019
6–7:30 pm
Olin, Room 102This presentation narrates and analyzes the struggle for women’s suffrage in Lebanon between political independence in 1943 and the first parliamentary elections in which women participated in 1953. In doing so, it takes into account the views expressed and strategies pursued by different women’s organizations. Of particular interest is the 1950 formation of the Executive Committee of Women’s Organizations in Lebanon, which served as the key node around which Lebanese women sought to secure their suffrage rights, including issuing statements, organizing demonstrations, and building alliances with politicians, political parties, and select constituencies. A key concern of the analysis presented is the changes and continuities between the 1943–53 mobilizations for women’s suffrage and women’s activism in the colonial period. It therefore accounts for the contexts and contingencies that revived mobilizations for women’s suffrage in 1943 (after years of dormancy) and secured it in 1953. Rather than an inevitable consequence of independence, women’s suffrage emerges as the product of women’s agency and strategic decision-making within a complex set of contexts and contingencies involving postcolonial state building, intra-elite rivalries, and shifting norms of development, governance, and citizenship.Sponsored by: Gender and Sexuality Studies Program; Historical Studies Program; Human Rights Program; Human Rights Project; Middle Eastern Studies Program.

Sand Mandala Construction
The Venerable Tenzin Yignyen
Hobart and William Smith Colleges
Monday, May 6, 2019 – Friday, May 10, 2019
8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Reem-Kayden Center LobbyFrom Monday, May 6, to Friday, May 10, the Venerable Tenzin Yignyen, a Tibetan monk from the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery and professor of Tibetan Buddhist studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, will construct a sand mandala of the Buddha of Compassion in the lobby of the Reem-Kayden Center on the Bard College campus. Community members are invited to observe the process of construction and to speak with Lama Tenzin during his work, from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm each weekday. On Friday morning at 9:00am, the mandala will be dismantled, and the sand taken in procession to the waterfall on Bard campus, where it will be sent off toward the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean.
“Mandala is an ancient Buddhist art form used for meditation, as taught by the Buddha Shakyamuni 2,500 years ago,” says Lama Tenzin. “It is said that the seed of enlightenment in each person’s mind is nourished by the dynamic process of visualizing and contemplating a mandala. The mandala is also a visual form of Buddha’s enlightened compassion and wisdom.”
The Venerable Tenzin Yignyen is a monk belonging to Namgyal Monastery, the Dalai Lama’s personal monastery. He was born in the Tibetan village of Phari, and fled with his family to India after the 1959 Chinese invasion of Tibet. Monastery trained, he is a master of sutra and tantra.

A Student Conference: Give Me More! The Roles of Fiction within Life since Don Quixote
Friday, May 10, 2019
1–3 pm
RKC 102In this interdisciplinary conference, advanced students in Spanish studies will propose a possible archeology of autobiographical visual and written accounts produced in Spain, put in dialogue with Latin American and French cultural manifestations. We will focus on some of the numerous literary, film, and photography productions of our cultural present that seek to undermine the foundations of the split between fiction and reality. In this context, following Don Quixote, fiction will be understood as the space wherein the self—the author or the artist, the reader or the viewer—experiences, and experiments with, the world. Some questions that will arise in the students’ presentations are: What are the limits of art and literature? How does life interfere with fiction? How does fiction operate within life?
Open to all. In Spanish. Please join us on Friday, May 10, 1–3 pm, in RKC 102.Sponsored by: Spanish Studies.

The Musical Life of Cora Livingston Barton and Her Husband Thomas Barton at Montgomery Place
Saturday, May 11, 2019
3–5 pm
Montgomery Place, MansionThis is the first event in the Montgomery Place Spring Salon Series on Music of the Gilded Age. It is a recital with Christopher Brellochs playing saxophone and Rita Costanzi playing the harp.
Cora Livingston Barton and her husband Thomas Barton expanded the Montgomery Place estate to better capture the Romantic sensibilities of the time; music filled the house and the farming operations become more separated from the “pleasure gardens.” It was 1860 and the beginning of the Gilded Age; relatives such as Major General Richard Delafield, who was stationed at West Point, inspired the dedication of musical compositions such as “Florida March” and “Manassas March.” This performance will be a unique opportunity to hear these forgotten gems and experience music at Montgomery Place like Cora and Thomas did more than 150 years ago. Spring Salon Series on Music of the Gilded Age is hosted in partnership with Hudson River Heritage and coproduced and curated by Christopher Brellochs.

Systemic Risk Index: An Application of the Financial Instability Hypothesis
Oleg Ivanets
Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics and Business, Drew University
Wednesday, May 15, 2019
4:45–5:45 pm
Olin, Room 102This paper introduces the Systemic Risk Index (SRI), a single country-wide measure of systemic risk that can pinpoint problems at various financial markets which could develop if ignored into financial crises. SRI is based on the financial instability hypothesis of Hyman Minsky and, although it does not fully reflect all the ideas postulated in the hypothesis, it contributes to the literature on financial stability and monetary policy by providing an applied model of systemic risk. The model was applied to U.S. data from 1962 to 2016 and indicated significant accumulation of systemic risk prior to major recent financial crises like the global financial crisis in 2008 and the dot-com bubble in 2000.

The Gardener of Montgomery Place and the Composer of Newburgh, New York
An outdoor saxophone quartet performance, part of the Spring Salon Series on Music of the Gilded Age.
Sunday, May 26, 2019
4–6 pm
Montgomery Place, MansionDuring the early 19th century, the gardener at Montgomery Place was an African American slave named Alexander Gilson, who, after being freed, stayed on to continue as head gardener. He eventually opened his own nursery business. Downriver in Newburgh, New York, composer Ulysses J. Alsdorf, whose grandfather was freed by the Manumission Act of New York State on July 4, 1827, had a similar life journey. The Alsdorfs were entrepreneurs, involved in everything from catering to dance schools, and became prominent citizens of the thriving Hudson Valley City of Newburgh. Ulysses J. Alsdorf’s music was used to celebrate the Newburgh portion of the 1909 Henry Hudson–Robert Fulton Celebration, when a steamboat traveled from Manhattan to Albany, stopping in Newburgh. His music will do the same for this event, 110 years later. This event is a part of the Spring Salon Series on Music of the Gilded Age.
