SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Ethics and the Theater: Love Letters
DESCRIPTION:Free! \nDon’t miss our Ethics and the Theater team’s annual Summer Sunday Platform featuring a staged reading of A.R. Gurney’s Pulitzer Prize-finalist Love Letters: \nAndrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner\, both born to wealth and position\, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached\, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years—where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school\, while Melissa flunks out of a series of “good schools.” \nWhile Andy is off at war Melissa marries\, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries\, becomes a successful attorney\, gets involved in politics and\, eventually\, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile\, her marriage in tatters\, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos\, drinks more than she should\, and becomes estranged from her children. \nEventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair\, but it is really too late for both of them. However Andy’s last letter\, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death\, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant\, and gave to\, each other over the years—physically apart\, perhaps\, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be. \nMonthly Collection\nProject Renewal \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Humanist philosophy. Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo watch previous Sunday Platforms\, visit our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Park Slope Woodwind Quintet: New Music by American Composers
DESCRIPTION:Join the The Park Slope Woodwind Quintet at the New York Society for Ethical Culture for its first concert as a dedicated contemporary music ensemble! \nThe program features works by NYC-based composers Manuel Ciordia and Yoshi Weinberg\, as well as US-based composers Jane Kozhevnikova\, Gary Nash\, and Nathan Bueno de Mesquita. \nInitially established for a 2021 outdoor concert series outside a stoop in Park Slope\, Brooklyn\, as live performances began to emerge amid the COVID-19 pandemic\, The Park Slope Woodwind Quintet (PSWQ) has since become a consummate interpreter of standard repertoire equally at home on the street or in lauded venues across New York City’s boroughs. Now\, the PSWQ redefines itself as a contemporary music ensemble aimed at lifting up its community and amplifying local artistic voices. \nThe PSWQ’s member’s collective education spans degrees from The Juilliard School\, Manhattan School of Music\, Mannes School of Music\, and the New England Conservatory\, among others. The musicians can be found performing in notable venues across the globe\, and as dedicated music educators and administrators within the greater New York area. \nThe Park Slope Woodwind Quintet\nZach Hicks\, flute\nShoshana Klein\, oboe\nEthan Usoskin\, clarinet\nConstance Mulford\, French horn\nMorgan Davison\, bassoon \nTickets\n$15 – Click here to purchase tickets on Eventbrite
