Mabel Shaw Bridges Hall of Music (Little Bridges)

Much like the famous “Ode to Joy,” Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Dona nobis pacem rallies the emotional power of choir and orchestra together to convey the depth of our humanity, drawing from biblical texts and the poetry of Walt Whitman. The Pomona College Choir (Donna M. Di Grazia, conductor) and Pomona College Orchestra (Eric Lindholm, conductor) present this moving appeal for peace alongside Francis Poulenc’s alternately reverent and lighthearted Gloria.
Soloists: Alina Roitstein, soprano Luc Kleiner, baritone
Program: Poulenc: Gloria Vaughan Williams: Dona nobis pacem
The performance will be repeated on Sunday, April 19, at 3 p.m. This performance is a repeat of the Friday, April 17, 8 p.m. concert.
Program subject to change. For more information, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/41wMjxF" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">bit.ly/41wMjxF</a>

Award-winning Bob Gossom film closes National Poetry Month and opens Mental Health Awareness Month
Poet and playwright Bob Gossom brings back his acclaimed film Versified! The Human Equation for a limited encore streaming, blending contemporary poetry, motion, music, and storytelling to close National Poetry Month.
The film streams from 3 p.m. PT April 30 to 9 p.m. PT May 3 at bobgossom.com/film-viewing.
Adapted from Gossom’s acclaimed poetry collection The Human Equation, now in its expanded third edition, the production explores vulnerability, humor, contradiction and the shared experiences that connect people across generations and backgrounds.
First staged in Los Angeles, Versified! The Human Equation evolved from a live ensemble production, praised by reviewer Javier Ronceros for its performers who embody “dozens of characters in a dance of the human condition.”
This encore not only marks the shift from National Poetry Month to Mental Health Awareness Month, but also highlights poetry’s ongoing power for reflection and emotional wellness.
“Poetry has always been a place where people can process what they’re going through, often before they have language for it,” Gossom said. “It creates space to reflect and begin to heal.”
Writer, actor and director Levy Lee Simon praised Gossom’s distinctive voice and range.
“His vision and imagery leap from the page into the mind,” Simon said. “Bob has his own style. Versatility is his secret weapon.”
The production has received multiple honors, including Best Adaptation from the SoCal Film Awards in 2025, Best Original Idea from the Top Indie Film Awards in 2026, and Best Ensemble Cast from the Bare Bones International Film Festival in 2026. It also earned nominations for Best Writing and Best Editing.
Gossom is available for interviews, readings, and commentary on poetry’s cultural role and the connection between creative expression and emotional wellness.&nbsp;
Purchase The Human Equation at Amazon, Apple Books, or Barnes &amp; Noble, or here: https://bobgossom.com/books/
