METC Education Annex (23 Main Street, Madison)

Two hundred and fifty years ago, North America was torn apart by the violence and chaos of the American Revolution. There's more to the story we all learned in school. The Revolution didn't just set Patriot against Loyalist; it was a brutal civil war that also divided America's Indigenous nations. Join historian Henry Crouse, as he discusses the Lenape, New Jersey's Indigenous inhabitants, and their role in the complicated cataclysmic conflict that birthed the United States. Dr. Henry Crouse recently completed his dissertation "Captains and King" at Rutgers University. He teaches at West Morris High School and completed his graduate work at Rutgers and Brown University. He is currently adapting his dissertation, which follows a prominent Lenape family throughout history, into a book for publication.

The great Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer(Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twenty something admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention—and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” (a sinuous, Kurt Weill–crooning Greta Lee)—Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. This thoughtful, witty second feature from Kent Jones, working from a sly and hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (MAY DECEMBER), is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.

Ever since the 1922 world premiere in Paris, audiences have been absolutely dazzled—literally blown away—by Maurice Ravel’s orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky’s piano composition&nbsp;Pictures at an Exhibition. Chances are you've heard parts of this famous work—but have you really listened to them?
On Saturday, November 7th, Maestro George Marriner Maull (Artistic Director of The Discovery Orchestra) and special guest pianist Craig Ketter will lead the audience through an interactive—and at times amusing—experience of the magical effect achieved when a piano work is arranged for&nbsp;full symphony orchestra.&nbsp;Several movements will be referenced, but in particular the final movement—"The Great Gate of Kiev"—will be the subject of this hour of musical discovery.
 A Listening Guide and other visual enhancements will aid the journey. And in addition, full-sound film footage from a live performance by the Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theater under Maestro Valery Gergiev will also be part of the presentation.
Event Schedule: 6:30pm: Reception 7:30pm: Program 8:30pm: Dessert
Ticket Information (click More info here link above to purchase): Adults (ages 23-64):&nbsp;$20 Seniors (ages 65+):&nbsp;$15 Students (ages 10-22):&nbsp;$5
Proudly presented by The Discovery Orchestra as part of our 40th Anniversary Season!
