“Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/theatrically-inclined.

If you have an event or a group that you’d like to be featured, send us an email at bwog.arts@gmail.com. We try to include as many events as we can find and fit, but reaching out to us is the best way to make sure your event is promoted to the student community and is covered by a staffer.

Columbia Pops Presents: Popsicles Fall Showcase

Nothing Follows: Operatic Double Bill—Monteverdi & Muhly

  • Sunday, November 23, 1 pm, Teatro of the Italian Academy (1161 Amsterdam Avenue)
  • Come witness two brief operatic works. Written nearly 400 years from each other, one work explores a knight’s accidental killing of his lover, while the other explores modern-day betrayal between a wife who helped spring her lover from jail and her bystander husband. Yet both pieces explore the simmering tension of love caught on the thorns of violence and grief.

Organ Meditation

  • Julian Bennett Holmes and guests will perform an hour-long meditation on organ as part of Sacred Music, which is a series of free concerts by the Earl Hall Center for Religious Life held at St. Paul’s Chapel. See here for a full list of fall events.
