SUMMARY:Virtual Author Series: David McKay Powell
DESCRIPTION:The National Willa Cather Center is hosting an author series as a way to connect Cather to contemporary writers as well as provide an accessible and inclusive space where readers can talk directly with writers about their work. Participating authors discuss how they create their work\, thematic connections within and outside of their texts\, and and how our shared experiences inform the work. \nThis virtual event is free\, but registration is required. Click here for more information and to register. \nThroughout her fiction\, Willa Cather mentioned forty-seven operas. References to opera appear in all but three of her twelve novels and in roughly half of her short stories. Despite a dearth of musical education\, Cather produced astute writing about the genre beginning in her earliest criticism and continuing throughout her career. She counted opera stars among her close friends\, and according to Edith Lewis\, her companion throughout adulthood\, the two women frequently visited the theater\, even in the early days\, when purchasing tickets to attend performances proved a financial sacrifice. \nMelding cultural history with thoughtful readings of her works and discussions of opera’s complex place in turn-of-the-century America\, David McKay Powell’s Cather and Opera offers the first book-length study of what drew the writer so powerfully and repeatedly to the art form. \nDavid McKay Powell is associate professor of English at Union College in Barbourville\, Kentucky\, where his research focuses on the intersections of classical music and American literature.

SUMMARY:SALT Quintet: A Mosaic of Mothers Dress Rehearsal and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The SALT Quintet will share the multifaceted process of transforming personal narrative into musical drama during an upcoming concert and dress rehearsal at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. An acronym for share\, affirm\, lift and tell\, the SALT Quintet tells stories through the medium of micro-operas. The concert’s intention is to offer – via music and drama – a unique perspective of women’s personal histories and to explore the strength and endurance of women through the lens of family experiences. \nFour UNK students\, Sophie Fiedler\, Catherine Moritz\, Nicole Smith\, and TruLee Jo White\, will join five music professors\, mezzo-soprano Dr. Sharon Campbell (University of Nebraska at Kearney\, Kearney\, NE)\, pianist Dr. Young Kim (Skidmore College\, Saratoga Springs\, NY)\, soprano Dr. Suna Gunther (University of Nebraska at Lincoln\, Lincoln\, NE)\, soprano Dr. Anne Jennifer Nash (Concordia College\, Moorhead\, MN)\, and soprano Dr. Sylvia Stoner (Skidmore College\, Saratoga Springs\, NY)\, in a concert of micro-operas\, staged choral works\, and a piano solo that all draw from memoirs by women connected to the quintet and the composers. \nFive UNK Humanities and Social Science professors\, Dr. Janet Graham (English)\, Dr. Sandra Loughrin (Sociology/Women’s and Gender Studies)\, Dr. Suzanne Maughan Spencer (Sociology)\, Dr. Linda Van Ingen (History)\, and Dr. Theodora Ziolkowski (English) are contributing the insights of their research areas via a pre-rehearsal presentation and post-rehearsal discussion. \nThe dress rehearsal is free and open to the public\, as is the performance scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Oct. 10 in the Fine Arts Recital Hall.
