Upcoming Performance
In the Stacks: Part 7: November 20, 2019 (this performance was rescheduled from October 17 due to a performer illness)
Throughout history, the arts have developed as a constant reaction to the times in which they were created. Drama, one of the world’s oldest art forms, has traditionally been divided into two contrasting categories: comedies and tragedies. This performance will trace the evolution of the tragedy as a genre, and explore the emotional catharsis and hope that often accompanies it.
Mezzo-soprano Taylor Boykins and saxophonist Tyrone Page will perform works by contemporary composers Lori Laitman and Michael Hersch. For one night only, treasures from the library's collection of tragedies will be on display, including William Shakespeare’s renowned 2nd folio as well as works by Aristotle and Sophocles. Come enjoy an evening of transformative music in one of the most beautiful libraries in the world!
Doors will open at 6pm with seating available for 200 (additional limited standing room available). No tickets required-- entry is free with a $10 suggested donation.
