SUMMARY:Sparkle & Shine a Studio 54: Celebrating the Resilient Voices of Women in Music
DESCRIPTION:Free Registration on Eventbrite This Women’s History Month\, a powerful new movement takes center stage to honor the architects of sound and soul. Women In Music\, Monmouth University’s collegiate chapter\, proudly announces an inspiring evening of dialogue\, connection\, and music inspired by the era of disco\, dedicated to the women who are not just participating in the music industry but actively redefining it. “Sparkle & Shine a Studio 54: Celebrating the Resilient Voices of Women in Music” addresses a critical industry gap. While women’s presence on the charts is rising\, executive representation remains stagnant. This gathering serves as both a sanctuary and a strategic hub designed to turn those artistic gains into institutional power. \nNavigating the Rhythm of the Industry\n\nThe heart of the event features a deep-dive panel discussion on the unique journey of women in music. From smashing the “glass ceiling” of the charts to navigating the complexities of technical production and business management\, our speakers will share raw\, heartwarming\, and triumphant accounts of their careers. The discussion will focus on the power of mentorship\, the importance of creative sovereignty\, and the magic that happens when women choose to “build the table” rather than just pull up a chair. \n\n\n\nFeatured Panelists & Moderator\n\n\n\nWe are honored to welcome a powerhouse lineup of industry leaders: \n\n\n\n\nJenna Gaudio\, Co-President of Vydia\n\n\n\nSkylar Rupperecht\, Operations Producer at Respective Collective\n\n\n\nHeather de Armas\, COO of Not Dead Yet Media\n\n\n\nKaren Louisa Gross\, Moderator & Founder of She Rocked It Media Productions\n\n\n\n\nA Celebration of Legacy\n\n\n\n“Women have always been the heartbeat of music history\, even when our voices are being overshadowed\,” says Joleen Amer\, event creative director. “Holding this event during Women’s History Month isn’t just about looking back at the icons who paved the way; it’s about fueling the fire for the women who are writing the next verse right now.” \n\n\n\nThe event will conclude with a networking mixer designed to foster lifelong collaborations and live performances by Joleen Amer\, Antonia Bongiorno\, and Marley Bell. \nMedia Contact\nRashida Scott-Cruz (WIMMU Faculty Advisor): rcruz@monmouth.edu\, or 848-207-8217 \n\n

SUMMARY:Tristan und Isolde
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this Metropolitan Opera event will start at 12pm.  \nAfter years of anticipation\, a truly unmissable event arrives at Pollak Theatre on March 21 as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner’s transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan. The momentous occasion also marks the advent of a new\, Met-debut staging by Yuval Sharon—hailed by The New York Times as “the most visionary opera director of his generation” and the first American to direct an opera at the famed Wagner festival in Bayreuth—as well as Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s first time leading Tristan und Isolde at the Met. Mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova reprises her portrayal of Brangäne\, alongside bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny\, who sings Kurwenal after celebrated Met appearances in Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer and Ring cycle. Bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green makes an important role debut as King Market.

SUMMARY:"Sugarcane" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 24\, 2026\n4:30–6:30 p.m.\nGuggenheim Memorial Library Room 101 \n\n\n\nRated R \n\n\n\n\nA stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life\, “Sugarcane”\, the debut feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie\, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. In 2021\, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence\, the forced separation\, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light\, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities. Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation\, “Sugarcane” illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere.

SUMMARY:Pysanky: Learn the Art of Ukrainian Egg Decorating
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the spring at Monmouth University with this unique opportunity to learn the seasonal ancient art known as Pysanky. Pysanky\, also known as Ukrainian eggs\, is an ancient folk tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. This meditative and communal experience is unlike any other art process and for many this workshop marks the beginning of a spring time family tradition that can be passed on and enjoyed for years to come. This tutorial will cover the history and traditions surrounding Pysanky\, a demonstration\, and independent practice session. The instructor will provide a variety of eggs\, dyes\, and tools. Participants will turn real eggs into works of art using a wax resist method similar to batik. A great deal of patience and concentration is required to complete a single egg\, but it is very rewarding to reveal your hard work when the wax layers are taken off. In-person attendance will be extremely limited. \nNo prerequisite skills are required. Please bring a container or old egg carton to take home your creation. Ages 18+
