BGU: When Religions Got Morals WEEK 2
All classes will take place on Wednesdays, April 3- April 24 at 3:00pm - 4:00pm in Blackmer Hall
Early world religions didn't have much of an ethical component; the emphasis was more on making sacrifices to deities in hope of favors or to prevent divine displeasure. And then came the "Axial Age," a period when, across Eurasia, some very diverse cultures decided that God/the gods cared about how human beings treated each other, with profound consequences for human societies. For the four weeks of this class, we will examine four great world religions that developed from the Axial Age and how this new moral component continues to echo to the present day.Grocery Trip

Duo Arpeggione: Piano and Cello Concert
Couples and siblings often have great relationships, but not always! Duo Arpeggione presents two works for piano and cello that reflects in music such failed connections. Edvard Grieg tells the story of two brothers who no longer speak to each other, and David Popper recounts the moment his marriage fell apart. Cellist Claudio Jaffe and pianist Catherine Lan bring those musical stories to life with virtuosity, passion, humor, and sensitivity in a program you don't want to miss. The program will also include ultra romantic works by American Arthur Foote - a Harvard graduate and the first noted American classical composer to be trained entirely in the US.
