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

SUMMARY:Progressive International: New International Economic Order 50th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:50 years ago\, the nations of the Third World\, having won their independence from colonialism\, came together to propose a vision for sovereign development and international cooperation in trade\, finance\, and technology — and won a UN Declaration for the Establishment of a New International Economic Order at the General Assembly. \nToday\, we are again in a moment of rapid geopolitical transformation with the end of the unipolar domination of the United States — but we lack a common vision of the multipolar world that is now in formation. How will we confront the crises of climate change\, viral pandemic\, and extreme poverty that threaten billions of lives and livelihoods across the planet? \nOver the past two years\, the Progressive International has convened scholars\, diplomats\, and policymakers in a series of debates and discussions to answer these questions. Their deliberations yielded a clear strategy to ‘assert Southern power’ toward a new global contract on sovereign development\, as set out in the Havana Declaration delivered at the closing ceremony of the inaugural Congress on the New International Economic Order. \n“The Congress recognizes that economic liberation will not be granted\, but must be seized. Our vision can only be realized through the formation of new and alternative institutions to share critical technology\, tackle sovereign debt\, drive development finance\, and face future pandemics together\,” read the Declaration. \nSince then\, the Havana Group has been hard at work to develop that vision into a comprehensive Program of Action on the New International Economic Order: a document with the clarity\, audacity\, and pragmatism to realize sovereign and sustainable development in the twenty-first century. \nNow\, we are planning the launch of that Program of Action in a special ceremony at the New York Society for Ethical Culture — and we would be honored to welcome you there\, alongside distinguished speakers such as Isabella Weber\, Jayati Ghosh\, Adam Tooze\, and Branko Milanovic. \nThe event\, coinciding with the UN General Assembly\, will not only celebrate the legacy of the New International Economic Order on the occasion of its 50th anniversary — but also revive its tradition of robust programmatic thinking to redress the crises of our day. \nSpeakers\nIsabella Weber • Jayati Ghosh • Adam Tooze • Branko Milanović • Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò • and Special Guests from Across the G77 \nRSVP\nFREE! RSVP Here

Classic intimate place\, delightful people\, and energy the whole time!” –W. T.\, Brentwood\, New York\, NY \n“The venue for the music was wonderful\, it was a nightclub atmosphere.
