    Humanities Forum — Jason Loviglio

    Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery

    Podcasts are the latest in a long list of media formats hailed as "empathy machines," technologies that will, by dint of their reach and affective force, compel us to care about one another. Radio, films, novels, and telegrams have all been previously designated as such. In the United States, public radio has, over the last 60 years, staked out a special claim for its capacity for empathy. This talk will explore the migration of the public radio structure of feeling as it migrated into narrative podcasting over the last two decades.

    Celebrating Charles Ives at 150 — Joel Sachs, pianist

    Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert Hall

    Pianist Joel Sachs performs masterworks by Charles Ives, one of America’s greatest composers and one of the greatest modernists of the early 20th century. His rarely heard Piano Sonata No. 1 will be preceded by “The Alcotts” and “Thoreau,” the third and fourth movements of his more famous second Sonata, “Concord, Mass., 1840-1860,” a tribute to the literary giants of that little town. Taken together, these compositions offer an unforgettable view of Ives’s unique vision of music that is both universal and deeply American.
