SUMMARY:Ethics and the Theater: Satchmo at The Waldorf by Terry Teachout
DESCRIPTION:Our long-running staged reading and talkback series continues on October 20 and October 22 with two performances of Terry Teachout’s Satchmo at The Waldorf: \nSATCHMO AT THE WALDORF is a one-man\, three-character play in which the same actor portrays Louis Armstrong\, the greatest of all jazz trumpeters; Joe Glaser\, his white manager; and Miles Davis\, who admired Armstrong’s playing but disliked his onstage manner. It takes place in 1971 in a dressing room backstage at the Empire Room of New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel\, where Armstrong performed in public for the last time four months before his death. Reminiscing into a tape recorder about his life and work\, Armstrong seeks to come to terms with his longstanding relationship with Glaser\, whom he once loved like a father but now believes to have betrayed him. In alternating scenes\, Glaser defends his controversial decision to promote Armstrong’s career (with the help of the Chicago mob) by encouraging him to simplify his musical style\, while Davis attacks Armstrong for pandering to white audiences. \nAfter the performance\, we’ll host a lively discussion of the ethical issues raised by the play. \nPerformed by C.K. Allen • Narrated by Bonnie Bean • Directed by Tai Thompson • Produced by Patricia Bruder Debrovner \nSuggested Donation: Members $10; Non-Members $15 \nPurchase tickets on Eventbrite here! \nCOVID-19 Notice: Vaccination is required to attend. Masks are optional but strongly encouraged.

SUMMARY:Concert: The Musical Love Letters of Robert\, Clara\, and Johannes
DESCRIPTION:This concert tells the story of three very closely linked composers. Robert Schumann and Clara Wieck were married and had seven children together. Robert was mentor to Johannes Brahms and a very close friendship of many years ensued between Johannes and Clara. Some believe that he was in love with her\, but whether or not this was the case\, their respect\, admiration\, and love for one another was made evident through countless letters and his loyalty and care for her through Robert’s illness and eventual death. Both Robert and Johannes dedicated piano works to Clara\, and Clara did the same for Johannes. These can be seen as love letters in musical form. \nDoors open at 5:45. Refreshments will be served! \nStudents\, Seniors\, and Society Members: $20. General: $25. Door: $30. \nPurchase Tickets on Eventbrite Here! \nFEATURING \nNelson Ojeda Valdés\, piano\nSarah Ittoop\, soprano\nDavid Newtown\, cello \nWORKS \nROBERT SCHUMANN (1810-1856) \nWidmung dedicated to Clara for their wedding day (arranged for piano solo by Franz Liszt)\nFantasy Pieces Opus 73 (cello and piano) \n\nZart und mit Ausdruck\nLebhaft\, leicht\nRasch und mit Feuer\n\nCLARA WIECK SCHUMANN (1819-1896) \nSix Lieder Op 13 (soprano and piano) \n\nIce stand in dunklen Traumen\nSie liebten sich beiden\nLiebenszauber\nDer Mond kommt still gegangen\nIch hab’ in deinem Auge\nDie stille Lotosblume\n\nJOHANNES BRAHMS (1833-1897) \nIntermezzo in A Major Opus 118 No. 2 – dedicated to Clara (piano solo)\nTwo Songs Opus 91 (soprano\, piano\, and cello) \n\nGestillte Sehnsucht\nGeistliches Wiegenlied

SUMMARY:AEU All-Society Platform: Felix Adler and the Fight Against Inequality with Labor Journalist Sam Pizzigati (Online Only)
DESCRIPTION:Watch online at the link below! \nNotice: There will be no in-person watch party this week. \nFelix Adler established America’s first free kindergarten for working families in the late 19th century. In the early 20th century\, he led the first successful national campaign against child labor and came very close to achieving his egalitarian vision in the mid-20th century. Recently\, we have moved in the completely opposite direction with the widening of the wealth gap making inequality in this country too obvious for anyone to ignore. How can we best turn things around? As Adler puts it\, how can we tax away “pomp and pride and power”? \nWe are thrilled to have Sam Pizzigati\, currently an Associate Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies Associate and former Director of Publishing at the National Education Association\, answer these questions as our special guest for this All-Societies Platform.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Alter: Jimmy Carter and Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! Our fall series celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights continues with an interview of journalist and author Jonathan Alter hosted by Leader Dr. Joe Chuman. \nClick Here to RSVP to Join In-Person \nClick Here to RSVP to Join Online Via Zoom \nAbout His Very Best\nFrom one of America’s most respected journalists and modern historians comes the highly acclaimed\, “splendid” (The Washington Post) biography of Jimmy Carter\, the thirty-ninth president of the United States and Nobel Prize-winning humanitarian. \nJonathan Alter tells the epic story of an enigmatic man of faith and his improbable journey from barefoot boy to global icon. Alter paints an intimate and surprising portrait of the only president since Thomas Jefferson who can fairly be called a Renaissance Man\, a complex figure–ridiculed and later revered–with a piercing intelligence\, prickly intensity\, and biting wit beneath the patented smile. Here is a moral exemplar for our times\, a flawed but underrated president of decency and vision who was committed to telling the truth to the American people. \nGrowing up in one of the meanest counties in the Jim Crow South\, Carter is the only American president who essentially lived in three centuries: his early life on the farm in the 1920s without electricity or running water might as well have been in the nineteenth; his presidency put him at the center of major events in the twentieth; and his efforts on conflict resolution and global health set him on the cutting edge of the challenges of the twenty-first. \n“One of the best in a celebrated genre of presidential biography\,” (The Washington Post)\, His Very Best traces how Carter evolved from a timid\, bookish child–raised mostly by a Black woman farmhand–into an ambitious naval nuclear engineer writing passionate\, never-before-published love letters from sea to his wife and full partner\, Rosalynn; a peanut farmer and civic leader whose guilt over staying silent during the civil rights movement and not confronting the white terrorism around him helped power his quest for racial justice at home and abroad; an obscure\, born-again governor whose brilliant 1976 campaign demolished the racist wing of the Democratic Party and took him from zero percent to the presidency; a stubborn outsider who failed politically amid the bad economy of the 1970s and the seizure of American hostages in Iran but succeeded in engineering peace between Israel and Egypt\, amassing a historic environmental record\, moving the government from tokenism to diversity\, setting a new global standard for human rights and normalizing relations with China among other unheralded and far-sighted achievements. After leaving office\, Carter eradicated diseases\, built houses for the poor\, and taught Sunday school into his mid-nineties. \nThis “important\, fair-minded\, highly readable contribution” (The New York Times Book Review) will change our understanding of perhaps the most misunderstood president in American history. \nPurchase the book here. \nAbout Jonathan Alter\nJonathan Alter is an award-winning author\, political analyst\, documentary filmmaker\, columnist\, television producer and radio host. \nAlter’s most recent book is “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter\, a Life.” (2020)\, which received uniformly favorable reviews. His earlier books include three New York Times bestsellers: “The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies” (2013)\, “The Promise: President Obama\, Year One” (2010) and “The Defining Moment: FDR’s Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope” (2006)\, also one of the Times’ “Notable Books” of the year. \nA former senior editor and columnist at Newsweek\, Alter is a longtime political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC.  He co-produced and co-directed the HBO documentary “Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists\,” which won the 2020 Emmy for Outstanding Historical Documentary. In 2013-2014\, he was an executive producer of “Alpha House\,“ a comedy on Amazon. \nOver the years\, Alter has written for the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Washington Monthly\, the New Yorker\, Bloomberg\, the Daily Beast and other publications. In 2021\, he launched a weekly Substack newsletter called “OLD GOATS\, Ruminating with Friends\,” which includes frequent columns and his conversations with accomplished people of wisdom and experience. Since 2016\, he has hosted “Alter Family Politics“ each week on Sirius XM\, 102 with his three adult children. \nAbout Leader Dr. Joe Chuman\nJoe Chuman started on his road to Ethical Leadership as a leader-in-Training here at the New York Society in 1969 and continued his training at the Bergen Society\, after which he became Leader of the Essex County Society before returning to the Bergen Society\, where he served as leader for 46 years\, retiring in January 2021. Joe has been a leader at the New York Society Since 2008. During his long career\, Joe has worked as an academic\, a social justice activist\, a speaker\, and a writer. He has been teaching human rights in the Graduate School at Columbia University for more than 20 years\, teaches human rights at Hunter College\, and has taught at the U. N. University for Peace in Costa Rica and at other colleges. \nAs an activist\, Joe has advocated for civil liberties\, human rights\, and other progressive causes and has frequently testified before the New Jersey legislature on such issues as religious freedom\, gun violence prevention\, death penalty opposition\, and immigrant rights. He founded the Northern New Jersey Coalition for Asylum Seekers 20 years ago and still serves as its president. Joe has written numerous book chapters\, encyclopedia entrees\, scores of Op-eds\, and is the author of “Speaking of Ethics\,” a compilation of essays on Ethical Culture.

A smash hit around the world whose power echoes to this day—yet a film whose success was so far from assured that one studio executive was heard to exclaim: “Barbra Streisand doesn’t sing and she plays a communist—are you trying to kill me?!” But succeed the film did\, propelled by a smash-hit title song and career defining performances from Streisand and Redford. Now\, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the film’s release\, best-selling author Tom Santopietro provides the definitive inside story behind the challenges\, disputes\, and creative passions of those who fought to make this landmark film.

The Way We Were is no exception.

You will be delighted by the cast that sets out to make this movie\, especially the easygoing leading man\, Robert Redford\, a star who possesses as much grace as talent. There are surprises\, shocking secrets never before revealed\, and at the heart of the production\, a determined group of artists who wanted to make an unforgettable film for post-war audiences.
