Embark on a revitalizing spiritual journey in April with Spirited Away . It begins with Claude T. Smith’s Eternal Father, Strong to Save , the official hymn of the United States Navy, featuring colorful interplay and variations on the well-known tune. A musical hosanna to Dr. Eric Wilson, Director of Bands at Baylor University, Paul Dooley’s triptych Canticles showcases the composer’s rhythmic vitality, lyrical melodies, and harmonic colors in a series of playful dances and a rejuvenating prayer for winds. Joe Hisaishi’s vibrant score to Spirited Away , the tale of a girl trapped in the spirit world, is transformed into a dazzling suite for winds. Chamak , a new work by Indian American composer Reena Esmail, finds inspiration in the writing of Kabir and presents three movements based on traditional Hindustani ragas — a framework for improvisation and composition in Indian classical music. Yasuhide Ito’s stirring symphonic poem Gloriosa concludes the program, evoking the fervent prayers and suffering of early Christians in Japan with a fusion of Gregorian chant and Japanese folk music.

Read It and Meet Book Club meetings are each led by a guest host, a different leader or personality from the Evanston community, who chooses the book to be discussed and leads the conversation. The goal is to gather a book-loving community to meet people behind the scenes or in the spotlight by engaging in thoughtful conversation about a meaningful work of literature or nonfiction. Attendance requires purchasing the book from our store and three free books are made available to attendees who may not be able to purchase a book. Participants are expected to have read the book in advance! These meetings are not intended to be lectures about the books, but rather discussions by people who’ve done some homework! We will read Robin Wall Kimmerer's new and already beloved book The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World . This meeting will be led by Kim Vigue, the Executive Director of the Gichicagamiin Indigenous Nations Museum (formerly Mitchell Museum of the American Indian). Kim selected this book because she loves how Robin Wall Kimmerer elevates Indigenous scientific knowledge and because the book aligns with the focus of the Gichicagamiin Museum. Kim has served as Communications Director for the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Education and managed public health programs for various government agencies. Currently, she serves on the Board of Directors for Northwestern University’s Block Museum and Visionary Ventures, a nonprofit organization that aims to develop equitable housing for Chicago’s Native community. Kim is also the Managing Partner and Founder of Wolf River Consulting. She is a citizen of the Oneida Nation and a descendant of the Menominee Tribe and lives in Glencoe. At the meeting, Kim will give a short book talk, followed by discussion with the other members.

“Once the work is done, it’s not yours anymore,” wrote Frank Chimero. “If the thing you make goes anywhere, it’s because other people carried it.” The choice of if, when, and how to share our work with others is a deeply personal decision, both terrifying and exhilarating. How do you make that decision? How does the manuscript in your drawer (or in your head) become a book? This lively talk with Marisa Siegel and Megan Stielstra—senior acquisitions editors at Northwestern University Press and published authors—reframes publication as a vital and informative part of the writing practice, as opposed to rejection/acceptance roulette. They’ll discuss how to know when your writing is “ready,” the different kinds of trade publishing houses and literary magazines out there, and the benefits and drawbacks of being agented, as well demystifying the nuts-and-bolts of the submission process for both book publishing and lit mags: finding your work’s best home, writing a solid query letter, and connecting with the right editors. Ample time will be left for your specific questions. The workshop will take place from 6:00-7:30 PM. Attendees are encouraged to come early for a pre-event Happy Hour at the MiniBar from 5:30-6:00 PM. Marisa Siegel is the author of the chapbook Fixed Stars (Burrow Press, 2022) and her essay “Inherited Anger” appears in the acclaimed anthology Burn It Down (Seal Press, 2019). She is senior acquiring editor for trade at Northwestern University Press, and editor-at-large for The Rumpus. Megan Stielstra is the author of three collections: Everyone Remain Calm , Once I Was Coo l , and The Wrong Way to Save Your Life . Her work appears in the Best American Essays , New York Times , The Believer , Poets & Writers , Tin House , and on National Public Radio. She teaches creative nonfiction at Northwestern University and is a senior acquiring editor with Northwestern University Press. Information Source: Bookends & Beginnings | eventbrite

Watercolor Class and Social - Spring Flowers and Mimosas Class will be held at in a cozy Fort Lauderdale Coffee Shop called Maggie's Favorite. Meant as an alternative for adults who are tired of going to bars and clubs, this class is part of an ongoing series of Watercolor Socials where adults, young and old can get together to paint. Every class offers a wholesome, peaceful atmosphere where you can expect good people, yummy snacks, and an escape from the day-to-day stress of life. Sessions will each have a different art lesson and a suggested painting subject but other subjects such as tropical plants will be provided in case you don't vibe with our class theme that day. This session is all about using a variety of watercolor techniques to paint spring flowers! Stephanie LaRusso, a local Fort Lauderdale artist, will guide you through painting the selected subject and share with you the different techniques that she uses in her paintings. This will be a very free-flowing group painting session where you can choose to follow along with her or work all on your own. While you are welcome to bring your own art supplies, you only need to bring yourself. All different types of paper, watercolor paints, pens, pencils, and brushes will be provided as well as tables, drawing boards, and chairs. If you have a tabletop easel or want to bring your own paper, please feel free. All skill levels are welcome and encouraged! Templates will be provided for anyone who doesn't feel comfortable free drawing but you will be encouraged to try to do it all on your own! Adults and teenagers with their parents are welcome. Children however are not allowed... not because we don't love them... but because there are already so many kid's classes out there and adults deserve to have some classes of their own!
