SUMMARY:Beethoven's "Eroica" by David Stein
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven’s third symphony was the “Eroica\,” a huge\, marvelous and joyful expression of heroism and hope. It was written by the young composer during wartime as he emerged from an earlier state of despair. His Fifth Symphony is more famous perhaps\, but the “Eroica” was the most groundbreaking and influential. In fact\, it has been called by many conductors the greatest of all symphonies; it opened new realms of human imagination and became the foundation-stone for the Romantic century of Schumann\, Brahms and Mahler. In this session we will explore the first movement\, a “hero’s journey” in music\, to hear how it depicts formidable obstacles bravely overcome\, and how Beethoven unifies a vast range of emotion and subjective experience and draws the listener in to participate in the adventure. \nFREE/donations welcome \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:Culturally Curious Art Lecture Series: The Swirling World of Art Nouveau
DESCRIPTION:Nov. 12: The Swirling World of Art Nouveau\nHave you ever been captivated by the sinuous curves and organic forms of Art Nouveau? This enchanting artistic movement\, which flourished from the 1890s to the 1910s\, revolutionized visual arts and architecture with its emphasis on natural shapes\, flowing lines\, and decorative elegance. At the forefront of this style was Alphonse\nMucha\, a Czech artist whose iconic posters and illustrations epitomized the grace and beauty of Art Nouveau. This program explores the key characteristics of Art Nouveau and delves into Mucha’s masterful works\, uncovering how his distinctive style influenced not only graphic design but also the architecture and interior decor of the era. \nAbout the presenter:\nJane Oneail is a sought-after speaker\, educator\, and independent art historian. Jane curates and delivers engaging art appreciation programs through her company Culturally Curious\, founded in 2017. Jane holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University. Born and raised in NH\, she has worked at some of the state’s most esteemed cultural institutions\, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen\, where she served as Executive Director\, and the Currier Museum of Art\, where she held the role of Senior Educator.
