His investigation into Zello\, a walkie-talkie app used for recruitment and organizing by far-right militia groups in the lead up to January 6th\, won the John M. Higgins Award for Best In-Depth/Enterprise Reporting and was featured on 60 Minutes. In Chautauqua’s weeklong exploration of the Global Rise of Authoritarianism\, Loewinger will explore the link between the growing number and severity of climate-fueled natural disasters and rising support for authoritarian leaders. Researchers have documented how the rise in climate-driven migration drives countries at the receiving end toward anti-immigration populist authoritarianism. Loewinger’s groundbreaking investigative reporting has demonstrated how in the United States\, right wing militia groups have capitalized on natural disasters as a powerful recruiting tool\, preying on people’s distrust of the government to raise both funds and new supporters. Loewinger’s lecture will take you deep inside these militia movement strategies to leverage climate-fueled natural disasters in the service of authoritarian populism.

Written in 1905\, it’s a kind of “tragic zarzuela”\, a hothouse verismo opera that mixes Andalusian folk songs into a score shimmering with French Impressionism. This vivid and engrossing opera centers on Salud\, the working-class heroine\, a victim of passion and betrayal. Salud loves Paco\, a sophisticated cad\, who offers her pledges of love but marries another\, wealthier\, girl\, leaving Salud desolate with heartbreak. Only one hour long\, La Vida Breve is sonically thrilling\, with richly sung emotion and vivacious rhythms — a gripping story of the human condition. \nThe Chautauqua Opera Conservatory is designed to guide and empower young artists through training and vast performance opportunities in a wide array of repertoire with excellent faculty. Under the leadership of Denyce Graves-Montgomery\, Artistic Advisor\, and Jonathan Beyer\, Director\, a dynamic group of singers study\, coach\, and perform in an idyllic setting on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution. \nComprised of top-tier students from conservatories and universities in the U.S. and abroad\, Music School Festival Orchestra members participate in a variety of musical activities during their summers at Chautauqua including chamber music and private lessons along with their meticulous orchestral training. Alumni from the MSFO can be heard in many of the world’s top orchestras and chamber ensembles and can be found on music faculties worldwide. The MSFO is led by Artistic Director Timothy Muffitt\, who serves as Music Director of the Lansing Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Laureate of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.
