Directed and choreographed by Mary Jo Lodge, with vocal direction by Jennifer Kelly.

Today we commemorate the faithful departed. The Romans put it succinctly: "Mememto mori," freely translated, "Keep in mind that you will die." Death reveals the purpose of life. How does holy writ and tradition comfort and instruct us about it?

Denk made his mark with Williams Center audiences two years ago as soloist with Orpheus in its Brandenburg Redux program.

This season he brings us the spectacular program he will perform four days later in his Carnegie Hall debut: Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-Flat Major, Op. 106—the heroic “Hammerklavier” Sonata—and Charles Ives’ deeply spiritual 1920 “Concord” Sonata, which pays tribute to the New England transcendentalists, with the four movements dedicated to (and invoking) Emerson, Hawthorne, the Alcotts, and Thoreau.

The Boston Globe calls Denk an exceptional pianist blessed with “an unerring sense of the music’s dramatic structure and a great actor’s intuition for timing.”

"Beating the Odds: Preparing Underrepresented Minority Students for STEM Careers"

Rapid and dramatic demographic and technological changes present our nation’s colleges, universities, and schools with enormous challenges for educating and preparing students – particularly underrepresented minority students – for careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Among the most critical questions we face are what will students need to know in order to succeed academically, and what skills and values must they possess? Additionally, what strategies can colleges and universities use to support and ensure the successful recruitment, retention, and graduation of students from all backgrounds in these fields? Answers to these questions will substantially affect the quality of life of all Americans and the nation’s global competitiveness in the first part of the 21st century.

Founded by Bernice Johnson Reagon in 1973 at the D.C. Black Repertory Theater Company, Sweet Honey In The Rock has evolved into an internationally renowned a cappella ensemble and a vital and innovative presence in the music culture of communities of conscience around the world.

The Biblical metaphor of sweet honey in the rock—sustenance and strength—captures completely these African American women whose repertory is steeped in the sacred music of the black church, the clarion calls of the civil rights movement, and songs of the struggle for justice everywhere.

Their performances are at once grand celebrations of gorgeously blended song and occasions for affirmation of the highest values of humanity.

This semester six faculty have been piloting the student response system CPS from eInstruction.com. CPS response pads (a.k.a. "clickers") have allowed faculty and their students to gain quick insights into levels of understanding and student opinion as well as to quickly take and grade quizzes.

Because clickers may need to be purchased by students and this is the time of the semester faculty submit required textbooks to the bookstore, ITS would like to invite all faculty to an informational session about using clickers with Spring courses. Faculty from the pilot will describe the ways in which they used the clickers this semester and we will talk about what students can expect when they purchase the devices from the bookstore.

Light refreshments provided. If you are interested, but unable to attend, please contact Jason Alley (alleyj@lafayette.edu or 5884) with any questions or ideas you might have.

For over three decades Kronos has fearlessly pushed the horizons of music, blurring boundaries between the Western canon, gifted musicians from different corners of the world, and iconic figures in pop, jazz, and dance.

With collaborations extending from Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley to Dawn Upshaw, Allen Ginsberg, Zakir Hussein, and DJ Spooky, they have blazed a uniquely imaginative trail through contemporary music.

Their Williams Center concert will feature one of their signature pieces: George Crumb’s astonishing anti-war composition, Black Angels, in a newly conceived “staging” intended to dramatize the true theatrical power of Crumb’s richly-textured music.

WDIY 88.1 FM, Lehigh Valley Community Public Radio, is our media partner for this concert.
