Rhapsody in Blue – Poetry and Piano
June 9, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm
The Poet
If a house is on fire, don’t describe and discuss the landscape, yell “FIRE!”
The planet Earth – our home – is on fire: be it global warming, global disparities, global discriminations, weapons of mass destruction; whatever the crisis, it is now imperative that the poet take notice and speak out on behalf of our home.
The primary purpose of today’s poet is to be that Socratic gadfly in order to disturb, to provoke, and not to entertain.
Idealism must now be displaced and realism demonstrated and discussed regarding the aforementioned threats to our very existence, to our one and only home.
Discussing current events, the program combines poetry selections and music from Gershwin, Chopin, and others. Audience Q&A at the end of the performance.
Tickets: Member $15 / Non-Member $18
