NJ MoCA Art Conversations: Sculpture Tour and Michael Malpass Film Screening
2016-04-28 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | The Great Hall Auditorium
The world of contemporary visual art is often intimidating, challenging, and seemingly unapproachable. To help break those perceptions and barriers, New Jersey Museum of Contemporary Art will present “Art Conversations,” a series of three scholar-led panel talks that will provide context and insight into what defines contemporary art, its transformational trends, and its relevance and impact on society.
This event will include a tour of the sculpture on campus including the new J. Seward Johnson pieces and the Michael Malpass Retrospective in Pollak Gallery. There will also be a screening of the new documentary about Michael Malpass titled “Michael Malpass – A Great Circle” created by Monmouth University Communication Students under the direction of Erin Fleming, Director of Production Services.
We will meet at 7 p.m. in front of Wilson Hall to begin the tour. The documentary will be screened in Pollak Theatre at the conclusion of the tour.

Met Opera: Elektra (Broadcast in HD)
2016-04-30 13:00 - 17:00 | Pollak Theatre
The genius director Patrice Chéreau (From the House of the Dead) didn’t live to see his great Elektra production, previously presented in Aix and Milan, make it to the stage of the Met. But his overpowering vision lives on with soprano Nina Stemme—unmatched today in the heroic female roles of Strauss and Wagner—who portrays Elektra’s primal quest for vengeance. Legendary mezzo-soprano Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektra’s fearsome mother, Klytämnestra. Soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and bass Eric Owens are Elektra’s troubled siblings. Chéreau’s musical collaborator, Esa-Pekka Salonen, conducts.
Tickets on sale Friday, July 24.

Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky takes on the extraordinary challenge of singing all three of Donizetti’s Tudor queens in the course of a single season, a rare feat made famous by Beverly Sills—and not attempted on a New York stage since. In this climactic opera of the trilogy, directed by Sir David McVicar, she plays Queen Elizabeth I, forced to sign the death warrant of the nobleman she loves, Roberto Devereux. Tenor Matthew Polenzani is Devereux, and mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien complete the principal quartet in the bel canto masterpiece, conducted by Donizetti specialist Maurizio Benini.

Shelters and rescue groups will always have frightened, scared dogs – that’s a given.

Your donations of food and supplies came in car loads and we are so very grateful for the generosity the public has shown us, but the real work is still ahead of us! Some of these animals have never been touched by a human being. One can only imagine how frightening this is for them to be in this situation!
Adopters, dog owners, shelter workers, rescue groups, dog trainers, veterinarians, technicians — anyone in this field of work would benefit to attend this seminar. Seating is limited so please reserve your spot for this exciting, educational experience.
Who: Shelter workers, volunteers, rescue groups, veterinarians and technicians, previous and potential adopters, all dog owners or if you just love dogs, come join us!

This summer, Shadow Lawn Stage, the professional theatre in residence at Monmouth University, will present Ted Swindley’s ode to her: Always, Patsy Cline.

a renowned singer in her own right, who has sung with music greats such as Les
Paul, Darlene Love, Ben E. King, Joan Jett, David Gray, Cheap Trick & many

Pieces”, “Walking After Midnight” and 27 other tunes.

Ms. Ferguson recently won the Best Actress award at the Dorset Theatre Festival for her role of Eleanor of Aquitaine in Lion In Winter.
