The Bitter Game Post-Performance Discussion: Know Your Rights!

Many of us are not aware of the laws that govern our interactions with police. Do they always have the right to search us and/or our possessions? Must we follow all directions? And should we - even if we feel we are in danger?

In this interactive workshop, lawyer and UMD alumnus Gregory Yancey seeks to answer these questions and increase the chances that we come out of any police interactions with our physical and emotional health intact, and that our rights were respected along the way.

Antigone's Dilemma

From time to time in each of our lives, we face truculent choices, the consequences dire no matter what we choose. How may we discern what is right for us, and how may we face their consequences? Sophocles’ ancient drama brings us back to the conundrums of choice and consequence each of us faces in our quite different journeys.

Harmonious Blacksmith

Beloved by the Bach family and musicians across Europe, Georg Phillip Telemann's diverse and creative music continues to grow in reputation and appreciation. Honoring the 250th anniversary of Telemann's death, the program features two contrasting quartets, which he himself performed in Paris in 1737.  Chamber masterworks by his friend J.S. Bach and his godson C.P.E. Bach complete the program, along with two French trios featuring the harpsichord and viola da gamba.
