Picasso: Rebel in Paris
2024-09-30 19:30 - 21:00 | Pollak Theatre
Fifty years after his passing, we embark on a journey through Pablo Picasso’s Paris, amidst sunshine and shadow, convictions and contradictions, from a young, impoverished foreigner to one of the most important icons of the 20th-century. The film moves continuously in and out of the Musée Picasso in Paris which has the largest existing collection dedicated to the painter with 6,000 masterpieces and 200,000 pieces of archive material, and follows Picasso through the Parisian neighborhoods where he lived, from the early days in ateliers with no heating to the large middle-class apartments where his success began: a physical and intellectual journey to gain a deeper understanding of his work and spirit.

Estimated runtime: 90 minutes

Join us! 8th Annual Ink & Electricity: Advancing Liberal Learning in the Digital Age lecture
A talk by Kristin Bluemel, Ph.D.
The enchanting black and white pictures featured in this talk tell a forgotten feminist tale of personal freedom and commercial success achieved by women artists whose creations of wood, ink, and paper brought joy and beauty into the dark days of the Great Depression and World War I.

Co-sponsored by the Wayne D. McMurray-Helen Bennett Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Monmouth University. This talk is in connection with the I Wish to Say Teach-In Series and the exhibition of Sheryl Oring’s social practice art projects on display in the DiMattio Gallery.

This fall the DiMattio Gallery is hosting an exhibition of Sheryl Oring’s “I Wish to Say” and related works. Since 2004, Oring has traveled with her typewriter, asking the public to dictate and mail postcards to the US President. To date, she has typed over 4241 postcards in her attempt to use art as a catalyst for social change. Part of our exhibition programming will be a teach-in series from Monmouth University faculty, including Bluemel, about topics related to themes that intersect with Oring’s project as art reaches across disciplinary bounds.
This event is free and open to the public. Typists will be available so guests can dictate their own postcard to the US President.
For more information, please contact Dr. Corey Dzenko or Dr. Kristin Bluemel.

Mike Richison, Electo Electro 2024
2024-10-04 10:15 - 11:25 | Rotary Ice House Gallery
Monmouth University’s Prof. Mike Richison (Graphic Design) will perform his Electo Electro 2024, updated for the 2024 election cycle. This interactive installation combines audience participation, music, news footage, and politics. The project allows participants to remix videos from political rallies, debates, and news in a structured sixteen beat loop. The touchscreen design is a parody of the system employed by the Accuvote, a voting system that is difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. The parody continues into the format of the installation itself which will resemble a polling station.
Richison will introduce his project, perform, and then open up his event for discussion. If you cannot make it to Richison’s live performance, stop by the Ice House Gallery to see his project on display for the semester. For more on the project, see Richison’s discussion of it in the Journal of Network Music and Arts.
For more information, contact the co-chairs of ArtNOW, Prof. Amanda Stojanov at astojano@monmouth.edu or Prof. Dickie Cox at rcox@monmouth.edu

On October 5, an ensemble of leading lights take the stage for Offenbach’s fantastical final work, headlined by tenor Benjamin Bernheim in the title role of the tormented poet. Hoffmann’s trio of lovers are sung by soprano Erin Morley as the mechanical doll Olympia, soprano Pretty Yende as the plagued diva Antonia, and mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine as the Venetian seductress Giulietta. Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Sher’s evocative production, which also features bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Four Villains and mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya in an important company debut as Hoffmann’s friend Nicklausse. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

Songwriters By The Sea
2024-10-05 20:00 - 22:00 | Lauren K. Woods Theatre
Distinguished NJ Songwriters Joe Rapolla and Joe D’Urso are back this year hosting the celebrated Songwriters by the Sea series at the Lauren K. Woods Theatre. What once started in a small coffee shop as an area for local songwriters has now grown into a series that features some of the top songwriters in the country. This year, the show features special guests Willie Nile and Emily Grove, as well as an opening set by student/artist Amani Lillian and Prof. George Wurzbach.
A pre-show reception will be held at 7 pm for all ticket holders, doors open at 7:30 PM

The New York Times called Buffalo, NY born Willie Nile “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.” Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Jim Jarmusch, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises. He has toured across the U.S. with The Who and has sung with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. As the induction program from the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame says: “His live performances are legendary.” His 2020 album New York At Night got rave reviews, with Downbeat calling it a “sonic love letter to Gotham.” His newest studio album The Day The Earth Stood Still, which features a duet with Steve Earle on the song “Blood On Your Hands” was released on Aug 13, 2021.
Emily Grove has had a varied and exciting musical journey, from coffeehouses to Berklee College of Music, to television appearances to tours in the UK and Europe. She has toured the UK, Ireland, US, and Canada, opening up for and performing with British artist David Ford. She also had her own headlining tour in Germany, Bulgaria, and England. She recently put on a sold- out Joni Mitchell show, featuring some of Asbury Park’s most talented musicians. She’s performed with/opened up for Glen Burtnik, Brett Michaels, Dan Reed, David Ford, Jeffrey Gaines, James Maddock, John Lefler (Dashboard Confessional), Ari Hest, and many others. She’s recorded with David Ford, Glen Burtnik, Steve Forbert, and UK artist Jack Henderson, among many others.
About Songwriters by the Sea:
Songwriters by the Sea began as intimate, casual coffeehouse jam sessions around Asbury Park, and has since evolved into a national show attracting some of the most revered singers and songwriters of today’s scene— from David Johansen and Garland Jeffreys to Glen Burtnik, Rhett Miller, Marshall Crenshaw and Alison Moorer. Along the way, D’Urso (front man of Stone Caravan and board member of WHY Hunger and Light Of Day) and Rapolla (a veteran music industry executive, solo performer, and front man of the band Perfect Square) have fine-tuned their circle of artists, trading favorite songs and illuminating backstories behind their most personal works, into a vehicle that brings out the best in the assembled talent. Whether the venue is a club, a historic theater or a campus performing arts center, Songwriters by the Sea has been known to turn any space into an intimate house party atmosphere; a gathering of friends and a place where something akin to magic often takes hold.
All net proceeds will support Monmouth University’s Endowed Music Industry Scholarships.
Sponsored by Tim Cabrey, The Golland Family, Don Moliver, and Matt & Carol Wojcik in memory of Mark Wojcik.

Producing the Beatles
2024-10-10 19:30 - 21:00, 2024-10-17 19:30 - 21:00 | Virtual
Based on his acclaimed podcast, Producing the Beatles, Jason Kruppa explores the music of the Fab Four from the perspective of the one person whose point of view has never been properly and thoroughly examined: their producer, George Martin. Using innovative techniques to break down their recordings, we’ll discover how the Beatles went from learning their way around the studio to becoming masters of the art of recording, with their producer working side by side with them each step of the way. And finally, with re-recordings and detailed recreations of Martin’s orchestral scores that allow us to hear individual instrument parts,, we’ll learn how his arrangements enhanced and shaped the Beatles’ music.
Zoom Link will be provided upon registration.

Kirk, a seasoned guitarist, and Raymond, a powerhouse on bass, bring fresh energy to the band’s recordings.
Fran Moran and The Nervous Wrecks will be opening for the Boxmasters

The Boxmasters, formed in 2007, draw inspiration from the rock and roll of the 1960s, with nods to bands like the Beatles, Byrds, and Beach Boys. Their diverse catalogue reflects influences ranging from The Mothers of Invention to Kris Kristofferson. Based at Peppertree Hill Studios, J.D. & Bud continue to create music that resonates, collaborating with artists like Ian Hunter and Gov’t Mule.
With a dedicated fanbase spanning the globe, The Boxmasters have earned acclaim both as headliners and as openers for acts like ZZ Top and Steve Miller. From “Knuckleheads” in Kansas City to “The Troubadour” in Los Angeles, their live performances captivate audiences, making each show an unforgettable experience.

*** Please note that there will also be a home football game taking place on campus at 1pm this day. We encourage our patrons to arrive on campus early and please let the parking attendants know you are here for the MET opera so that you do not pay the parking fee.***
Two-time Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori’s powerful new opera Grounded, commissioned by the Met and based on librettist George Brant’s acclaimed play, wrestles with the ethical quandaries and psychological toll of 21st-century warfare. Mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo, one of opera’s most compelling young stars, portrays Jess, a hot-shot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the world. As she struggles to adjust to this new way of doing battle, she fights to maintain her sanity, and her soul, as she is called to rain down death by remote control. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin oversees the Met premiere of Tesori’s kaleidoscopic score and a cast that also features tenor Ben Bliss as the Wyoming rancher who becomes Jess’s husband. Michael Mayer’s high-tech staging, using a vast array of LED screens, presents a variety of perspectives on the action, including the drone’s predatory view from high above. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

Social Justice Academy Professional Development Series Fall 2024 Series
A Conversation with Ruby Bridges in recognition of the 70th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education
Co-moderated by Vernon Smith, Ph.D., and Zaneta Rago-Craft, Ed.D.
Co-sponsored with the Monmouth University Intercultural Center
Ruby Bridges is a civil rights icon, activist, author, and speaker who at the age of 6 was the first Black student to integrate an all-white elementary school alone in Louisiana. She was born in Mississippi in 1954, the same year the United States Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision ordering the integration of public schools. Her family later moved to New Orleans, where on Nov. 14, 1960, Bridges began attending William Frantz Elementary School, single-handedly initiating the desegregation of public education. Her walk to the front door of the school was immortalized in Norman Rockwell’s painting “The Problem We All Live With”, in Robert Coles’ book “The Story of Ruby Bridges”, and in the Disney movie “Ruby Bridges”.
She established the Ruby Bridges Foundation to provide leadership training programs that inspire youth and community leaders to embrace and value the richness of diversity. Bridges is the recipient of numerous awards, including the NAACP Martin Luther King Award, the Presidential Citizens Medal, and honorary doctorate degrees from Connecticut College, College of New Rochelle, Columbia University Teachers College, and Tulane University. Bridges is also the author of “Through My Eyes”, “This Is Your Time”, “I Am Ruby Bridges”, and “Dear Ruby, Hear Our Hearts”, released in January 2024. In March 2024, she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.
