SUMMARY:Wine Beyond the Buzzwords
DESCRIPTION:If you are looking for an engaging\, approachable evening ideal for all levels of wine drinkers\, come and decode wine terms.\n\n\nWe hear terms like organic\, low-intervention\, natural\, sustainable\, vegan\, low sugar\, and low-alcohol everywhere\, but what do they actually mean in the glass? If you are looking for an engaging\, approachable evening ideal for all levels of wine drinkers\, come and decode today’s most talked-about wine terms. You will explore how these buzzwords translate into the bottle without the jargon and taste first hand how thoughtful farming and winemaking choices shape the wines we drink today. This guided tasting is hosted by Jasmine Montgomery\, sommelier and founder of Fenix Cellars\, she has 2 decades in the wine and hospitality industry with 15 of them spent in Mendoza Argentina.  Featured Wines by Bodega Clement\, Mendoza ArgentinaWhy Argentina? Argentina is quietly leading the way in many of these conversations\, with organically farmed vineyards\, low-intervention winemaking\, heritage varietals\, and naturally balanced wines that rely less on heavy manipulation and more on place. This tasting highlights that evolution through a carefully curated lineup.  This tasting includes five low-intervention\, sustainably sourced wines from Bodega Clement\, a producer founded by Lis Clement\, creator of Malbec World Day and a pioneer of modern Argentine wine.

SUMMARY:Wonder Women! Sarah Hagen at the Bowen Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the music and stories of female composers\n\n\nWonder Women! \nCelebrating the music and stories of female composers \n“Why hurry over beautiful things? Why not linger and enjoy them?” So pondered Clara \nSchumann\, remembered as one of the finest pianists of all time. \nIn “Wonder Women!”\, pianist Sarah Hagen delves into the remarkable stories and piano music of forgotten female composers from the classical repertoire. This recital will highlight piano works by 18th and 19th century composers\, including Clara Schumann\, Cécile Chaminade\, Delphine von Schauroth\, and others. Included will be stunningly gorgeous music by Marianna Martines\, who lived in the same circles as Haydn and Mozart\, and often joined Mozart in piano duets at the musical soirées she and her sister held in their Viennese home. \n \nA note from the performer: \nI began performing this programme after purchasing a disappointingly thin volume of music by female composers about 20 years ago. After reading through the music\, I remember shutting the book and thinking to myself\, There must be more music than this\, and certainly more music of a better quality!. I simply didn’t feel the collection fairly represented the music that had been created by women during the 18th and 19th centuries. So I set off on a musical treasure hunt\, searching online\, through old collections of music\, and in libraries. I have found that good music is getting easier to find as scholars take more of an interest in researching these remarkable women. So\, I am constantly refreshing the programme! \nI am also continually fascinated by the stories of the strong women behind the music. These are the women who fought for equal pay as their male colleagues\, who insisted that they could also have a life and a career outside of the kitchen\, who chose to shockingly forgo marriage to be able to fully focus on their art. These are the trailblazers who are an invaluable part of our journey to gender equality. \nI have especially found that high school students are particularly interested in hearing these stores. Somehow hearing the music makes the stories of female strength and resilience come to life for the students in an inspiring way.
