As part of the annual Joe R. Sexton Lecture Series, Becky Aikman will discuss her book <a href="https://ferg.na.iiivega.com/search/card?id=1a870df3-3ed8-5fc5-a982-f4bc875ae5e5&amp;entityType=FormatGroup" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Spitfires: The American Women Who Flew in the Face of Danger During World War II</a>.&nbsp;
These
 “spitfires” lived decades ahead of their time. Risking their lives in 
one of the deadliest jobs of the war, they ferried new, barely tested 
fighters and bombers to air bases and returned shot-up wrecks for 
repair, never knowing what might go wrong until they were high in the 
sky. Many ferry pilots died in crashes or made spectacular saves. It was
 exciting, often terrifying work. The pilots broke new ground off duty 
as well, shocking their hosts with thoroughly modern behavior.
With
 cinematic sweep, Becky Aikman follows the stories of nine of the women 
who served, drawing on unpublished diaries, letters, and records, along 
with her own interviews, to bring these forgotten heroines fully to 
life. Spitfires is a vivid, richly detailed account of war, ambition, 
and a group of remarkable women whose lives were as unconventional as 
their dreams.
Reception at 6 p.m.; program follows at 6:30 p.m.
Book sale and signing by Elm Street Books.

The
 Joe R. Sexton Lecture Series is presented in memory of Joseph (Joe) R. 
Sexton and was created to perpetuate his spirit, interests, and his 
adventurous outlook on life.

PROJECT MUSIC announces the first event in its “Overture to Italy” Concert Series, featuring internationally acclaimed cellist and composer Sujari Britt. The performance marks the beginning of a year‐long effort to expand global learning opportunities for PROJECT MUSIC student musicians in partnership with Sujari Britt and Accademia Filarmonica del Mediterraneo in Trani, Italy, of which she is co-founder. Sujari will be joined by local artist and concert pianist, Maxim Pakhomov.
The concert will be held Sunday, May 31, at 4pm at the Greenwich Historical Society Barn in Greenwich at 47 Strickland Road, Cos Cob. General Admission tickets are $75 and VIP tickets, which include an artist Meet-and-Greet at 3:30pm and reserved concert seating, are $100. All tickets include a selection of light bites and refreshments, and can be purchased at projectmusic.org/overturetoitaly.
A dedicated advocate for music education and global artistic exchange, Britt serves as Artistic Director of Accademia Filarmonica del Mediterraneo and participates in From the Top’s Arts Leadership Program. She performs on a Neuner &amp; Hornsteiner cello (Mittenwald, Germany, c.1718), generously loaned by the Carlsen Cello Foundation.
Cellist and composer Sujari Britt is an internationally recognized artist whose performances have captivated audiences across Asia, Europe, the UK, and the United States. A New York native, she began cello at age four and went on to earn degrees from the Royal Academy of Music (London), the Sibelius Academy (Finland), and the Manhattan School of Music.
Britt has appeared as soloist with orchestras nationwide, performed at Carnegie Hall, and played for President Obama at the White House. Her collaborations include work with Alisa Weilerstein, Sting, and the Kronos Quartet, and she has been featured at major international events such as the Beijing Super Cello Festival, Musiikkitalo’s Cellofest Opening Gala in Helsinki, and United Nations programs for World Humanitarian Day and HeForShe.
PROJECT MUSIC has been invited to partner with Accademia Filarmonica del Mediterraneo in Trani, Puglia Italy in 2027. Students enrolled in the immersive musical instruction program offered through PROJECT MUSIC will be invited to apply for the opportunity to travel to Italy in Summer 2027 as part of the H. K. Miserocchi Summer Music Institute, a division of PROJECT MUSIC, to study, learn and grow their musical talents under the tutelage of Sujari Britt and the Accademia Filarmonica del Mediterraneo.&nbsp;
“Life-changing opportunities and musical experiences are at the core of our mission,” commented Rachel Morrow, Managing Director of PROJECT MUSIC. “We are fortunate to partner with Sujari Britt, whose artistry and commitment to young musicians make this concert possible and open the door to an extraordinary summer program for our students in 2027.”
