Please note: Some of the photographs are lighthearted, but many call attention to the darker aspects of present-day America as well as its past. The book casts a light on the country’s historical biases and stereotypes, weaving together a tapestry of racism, objectification, pop culture, beauty standards, Christianity, and consumerism.
David&nbsp;Ricci&nbsp;is an American photographer whose work explores human relationships with the environment and physical objects. His images function as both historical document and social mirror, compelling viewers to examine realities about American society and material culture. His work is in several private and public collections including Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Fogg Museum, Winnipeg Art Gallery, Hyde Collection, Danforth Museum, Smith College Museum of Art, and others. He has had numerous solo exhibitions, was the recipient of the Annual Curator’s Award from The Center for Photographic Arts and was longlisted for the Aesthetica Prize in the UK.&nbsp;Ricci&nbsp;has received grants from LensWork Magazine, Massachusetts Cultural Council, Artists Resource Trust, and the Martha Porter Fund. Ricci’s work has been featured in several publications including Lenscratch, Photomonitor, F-Stop, and Luminous Landscape. His monograph, EDGE (2022 Fall Line Press), was awarded the ForeWord Reviews Indies Awards gold prize in photography, and second prize at the PubWest Annual Book Design Awards. His upcoming photobook Hunter Gatherer: Salvaged Stories of American Culture will be published by MW Editions in New York in 2026.

Robert R. Jay Performing Arts Center at St. John's School

In our final concert of the season SPM is thrilled to present two younger rising-star violinists, 14-year-old Samuel Lee and 15-year-old Takahiro Higuchi, both making their orchestral soloist debuts! Already winners of multiple competitions, they will perform the high-energy Concerto for Two Violins by Antonio Vivaldi, the spiky Concerto for Two Violins by Bronislav Martinu and the high-intensity, showpiece for two violins and orchestra, “Navarra,” by Pablo de Sarasate. You will be dazzled by their youthful energy and high-power virtuosity! With spring in the air, you'll be entertained by SPM's renditions of George Gershwin's Cuban Overture, An American in Paris, and "Walking the Dog," with clarinet solos by our outstanding principal clarinetist, Diego Bacigalupe. This one is not to be missed!&nbsp; For tickets:&nbsp; www.symphonypromusica.org
