(Seven Sisters Connection) Hear seven of today’s most exceptional and exciting young performers play some of chamber music’s greatest works with the joy and passion for which Marlboro is renowned. It’s a rare opportunity to hear the wonderfully romantic Brahms Alto Songs, Bartok’s electric “String Quartet No. 4,” Beethoven’s delightful “Scottish Songs” for voice and piano trio and Mozart’s magnificent “String Quintet in D” —all in one evening! Your ticket includes pre-concert admission to the Museum and we invite you to stay for a post-concert wine and cheese reception with the performing artists at the Goethe Institute (at 1014 Fifth Avenue across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Readings from If These Streets Could Talk: Fiction and Poetry from the NY Writers Coalition From Deborah Chadwick Clearman, '72, Program Director of the NY Writers Coalition: With the publication of If These Streets Could Talk: Fiction & Poetry from NY Writers Coalition you can share in the exciting poetry and prose collected from the first several years of NY Writers Coalition writing workshops. For the last five years the NY Writers Coalition has provided free creative writing workshops throughout New York City for people who have been historically deprived of a voice in our society: at-risk youth, adult residents of supportive housing, the homeless, the formerly incarcerated, senior citizens, and others. This not-for-profit organization creates unique opportunities for such groups to be heard through the powerful art of writing. Now, as Mark Salzman (True Notebooks, Iron & Silk) says of this collection of funny and haunting, touching and harrowing stories, "These are the authentic and all-too-often unheard voices of the people that live, work, play, struggle, love, fight, and triumph in the City of New York."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Race to Deliver (November 19) So far there are five Bryn Mawr participants for the Race to Deliver, including one child (yes, there is a kids fun run too, for ages 2-12). Adults have two choices: run four miles or do the shorter health walk. Everyone who gets on board will be invited to our private pasta party the night before. This event is a great follow-on to the Bryn Mawr service day at God’s Love We Deliver earlier this month. God’s Love We Deliver provides nutritious meals, free of charge, to people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses. In its 20 years of operations God’s Love We Deliver has distributed more than 8.5 million meals, with more than 1,500 people served each day now, half of them women and children. The chefs and kitchen volunteers prepare delicious, nourishing food that the drivers and neighborhood volunteers deliver with love. God’s Love We Deliver also offers free, unlimited illness-specific nutrition education and counseling to our clients as well as to other individuals and organizations. Celebrating 20 years this year, they have never turned away an eligible person or had a waiting list! It's so easy to be part of the inspiring work, come join us in the Race to Deliver even more!
