Unlocking the Musical Content of Milhaud and Pergolesi
- Date: 05/04/2022 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
This is a virtual event, click here to register.
Please join music director Benjamin T. Berman's lecture via Zoom on May 4 at 7 pm. First performed almost 200 years apart, Milhaud's “Le Pauvre Matelot” (1927) and Pergolesi's “La Serva Padrona” (1733) nevertheless have some things in common. Each opera features only a few characters, and the storyline is straightforward. In each case, we meet a woman who knows what she wants and who is passionate, even stubborn, about pursuing her goal. However, each woman chooses rather different means to accomplish her goal. While both operas are short (around 45 min), their underlying moods could not be more different.
Wash and Learn
Select Wednesdays each month
We are excited to share this innovative bilingual (Spanish-English) program called Wash and Learn. This creative literacy program organized by Roosevelt Elementary School in New Brunswick provides books for children of all ages, as well as adults. All donations are housed at a local laundromat to encourage students to read while parents are doing their laundry.
To donate books to New Brunswick’s Wash and Learn program, please contact Anne-Marie Riveaux McMahon at
anne-marie_mcmahon@nbpsnj.net and Maritza Acevedo at maritza_acevedo@nbpsnj.net.
