New York City is packed with amazing culture and inspiring art, but sometimes it’s difficult to break the Morningside-bubble and experience it all first-hand. “Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/theatrically-inclined on campus.
On Campus:
- Miller Theater’s Pop-Up Concerts series continues with Isabel Lepanto Gleicher, a rising talent in the flute scene. From the website: “For her solo debut at Miller, she has curated a program of flute works that are perfect for the intimate setting of a Pop-Up concert.” See it free On Tuesday, 6 PM.
- Also on Tuesday (12 PM), Amherst Professor Klára Móricz comes to the Harriman Institute to discuss one of the most interesting phenomena in enduring Russian culture: the near-worship of Pushkin. In “Pushkin Divided,” she will discuss how Pushkin was appropriated differently by the Russian emigrant community in 1930s Paris, and by the Soviet Russian state.
Off Campus
- Tonight at 7 PM, head down to Performance Space New York for Acephalous Monster, a theatrical exhibit by Ron Athey.
