SUMMARY:“Disruptive Narratives” Opening Reception at Wilton Library
DESCRIPTION:Wilton Library showcases artists in the area in their June art exhibition “Disruptive Narratives.” The exhibition\, curated by Tara Blackwell and Jahmane\, invites viewers to explore these visionary artists’ work. Their use of pop culture symbols and clever commentary challenge societal norms\, offering a fresh\, critical perspective on the ordinary.\n\n\nThrough satirical reinterpretations and subversive twists on familiar imagery\, the artists compel viewers to question the narratives shaping our world. To encourage deeper exploration and discussion\, each artist has selected a book that relates to their work and the themes addressed in the exhibit. These recommendations provide additional context and insights into the provocative topics explored by the artists.\n\n\nThe artists from the group will exhibit their works in an array of styles\, media choices\, and subject matter. The artists are: 5iveFingaz (Norwalk)\, Tara Blackwell (Stamford)\, Lauren Clayton (Stamford)\, Dooley-O (New Haven)\, Alejandra Gonzalez Zertuche (Norwalk)\, Thalia Hernandez (Bridgeport)\, Jahmane (Norwalk)\, Lily Morgan (Stamford)\, and Sain’t Phifer (Norwalk).\n\n\nIn addition\, “Disruptive Narratives: Teen Edition” celebrates the transformative power of youth creativity. It offers a platform for the bold and fearless expressions of a new generation of artists. Join in embracing the rebellious spirit of these emerging voices as they redefine the boundaries of contemporary discourse and offer a fresh\, critical lens on the ordinary. Each teen artist has also contributed to a curated selection of books that resonate with their work and provide deeper insight into the themes of the exhibit.\n\n\nThe emerging teen artists are: Clara Eliot (Weston)\, Freya Goldenberg (New Canaan)\, Olive Goldenberg (New Canaan)\, and Lila Malone (Stamford).\n\n \n\n\nOpening reception on Friday\, June 7 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Secret WWII Concentration Camp Diary of Odd Nansen
DESCRIPTION:The New Yorker hails From Day to Day\, the World War II concentration camp diary\, as “among the most compelling documents to come out of the war\,”. Secretly written by Odd Nansen\, a Norwegian\, it is one of only a handful ever translated into English. Nansen\, arrested in January 1942\, was held captive in various Nazi camps in Norway and Germany. During this time he wrote this inspiring diary illuminating daily struggles. It chiefly illustrates not only his survival\, but the fight to preserve his sanity and maintain his humanity. \n\n\nTimothy Boyce rescued the diary from oblivion after having been out of print for over 60 years. He discovered it from reading the memoir of another Holocaust survivor. Nansen saved this 10 year-old boy while both were imprisoned in Sachsenhausen. Through selected readings\, Boyce will discuss and explain who Nansen was. Moreover\, he discusses why he was arrested\, why he wrote the diary\, how he preserved it\, and why this diary is as important today as it was when first written. Boyce will also sell his book at the event.\n\n\nBoyce practiced law for many years\, most recently serving as the Managing Partner of the Charlotte\, NC office of Dechert LLP\, an international law firm. His articles appear in The Quarterly Journal of Military History\, World War II Magazine\, The Scandinavian Review and Viking Magazine. Boyce\, who currently lives in Tryon\, NC\, retired in 2014 to devote his time to writing and speaking.\n\n\nRegister online.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:The Story of Chinese Musical Tradition: A Keeper of Asian Heritage Music
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for a special program about the Chinese musical tradition in celebration of Asian American\, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Enjoy musical instrument demonstrations and professional performance. \n\n\nWilton residents Anchi Lin and her son\, New York- and Boston-based conductor Julian Gau\, will present information and demonstrate several traditional classical instruments from China. Two musicians from the Chinese Music Ensemble of New York will then perform on their chosen instruments:\n\n\n– Xiao-ran Eric Liu\, an outstanding Bamboo Flute professional with an innovative approach to western instruments\n– Rini Zhang\, a virtuoso Erhu player and opera singer focusing on diverse styles of performing repertoire\n\n\nChinese classical music preserved many ancient musical elements from the historical Asia regions. Through the Silk Road\, musicians and merchants from the Middle East\, Central Asia\, and South Asia brought their music and instruments to China. The capital of China\, from around 200 BC until 14 AD\, was like New York or Paris nowadays. For example\, many traveled and brought their cultural heritages there. Over about 1600 years\, Chinese musicians observed and preserved some of the instruments and musical elements that came from different parts of Asia. These aspects ended up in what we now understand to be “Chinese classical music”. The heritage “Chinese” music is a story of continuous integration and infusion of diverse musical traditions from different parts of Asia.\n\n\nMusic is a powerful way to connect and continue such historical memories from the past. Many of the nomadic tribes were lost through centuries of wars or political struggles. However\, the instruments and genres kept by the traditional Chinese music tradition can provide a glimpse into their musical heritages.\n\n \n\n\nNo charge for this event co-sponsored by Wilton Library and the Chinese Music Ensemble of New York.\n\n\nRegister online or call 203-762-6334.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Shakespeare on the Sound's Romeo and Juliet

Romeo’s age is unknown.\n– Dante first mentions the feud between the families in the early 1300’s.\n– In 1662 Mary Saunderson made stage history as the first woman to play Juliet\, 150 years after London audiences first saw Shakespeare’s play with a boy playing Juliet.\n\n\nShakespeare on the Sound Education Director and Macbeth/Christmas Carol actor Nick Urda and board member/Shakespeare teacher John Love guide audiences through Romeo and Juliet and\, in an interactive presentation\, hope to exemplify why Juliet and Romeo might be a more fitting title for the play. They’ll also incite the question: were they really in love?\n\n\nRegistration is suggested online or call 203.762.6334.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:1959 in Jazz History with Gil Harel: Coltrane's Giant Steps
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library for the third program of their new four-part series with Dr. Gil Harel on the seminal jazz albums of 1959.The series will run as follows:\n\n\n3/20/24: Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue\n4/10/24: Dave Brubeck’s Time Out\n5/22/24: John Coltrane’s Giant Steps\n6/18/24: Jazz Post-1959 Diverging Paths\n\n\nThe year 1959 was an exceptionally busy year for John Coltrane. Indeed\, the iconic saxophone player and composer was featured prominently on Kind of Blue (the style of that record — modal jazz — would be one that Coltrane would revisit in subsequent years). Later in the year\, he recorded an album that would become one of the most influential in the genre: Giant Steps. The name of the album proved apropos. The unprecedented chord progressions and improvisational patterns leap rose Coltrane’s status to that of a legend. Even today\, multiple tracks on the record remain standard practice templates for aspiring saxophone players. Join Professor Harel in diving into this massively influential album’s history and score.\n\n\nHarel (PhD\, Brandeis University) is a musicologist and music theorist whose interests include styles ranging from the western classical repertoire to jazz. Currently\, he is Full Professor of Music at CT State Naugatuck Valley\, where he received the AFT “Merit Award for Exemplary Service to the College” for 6 consecutive years. At NVCC\, Dr. Harel conducts the college chorale\, a cappella ensemble\, teaches music history and theory\, and serves as musical director of theater productions.\n\n\nRegister online or call 203.762.6334.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...
