and Music Friday, July 18 1:00 p.m., Community Room
Johannes Brahms was over 40 years old when he published his first symphony. Asked by his publisher why his composition was taking so long, Brahms responded by describing the difficulty of composing music in the “shadow of that giant” – a direct allusion to Beethoven. Indeed, of all the composers of the 19th century, none would invite comparison to “the maestro” as much as Johannes Brahms. Join Michael Harrington as he presents a lecture by Professor Gil Harel, who will delve into the remarkable life and music of Johannes Brahms, challenging traditional perceptions associated with his legacy.
Opera at the Met: Aida Saturday, July 19 1:00 p.m., Community Room
Join fellow residents for an Opera in the Community Room this afternoon. Aida, an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, tells a story of
a love triangle amidst war between Egypt and Ethiopia. Aida, an Ethiopian princess enslaved in Egypt, falls in love with Radames, an Egyptian general. Princess Amneris, who is also in love with Radames, suspects their affair. The opera explores themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice as Aida and Radames are torn between their feelings for each other and their duties to their respective countries. World premiere: Cairo Opera House, 1871.
