SUMMARY:The Rev. Zina Jacque
DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Zina Jacque serves as President and Chair of the Board of National Senior Communities\, overseeing the largest not-for-profit network of continuing-care retirement communities in the nation. Across two distinguished careers in higher education and ministry\, she has worked to lift people\, strengthen communities\, and send good into the world. She continues to guide nonprofit boards and faith-based organizations nationwide.  \nFor two decades\, Jacque shaped the student experience at several leading universities. After transitioning to ministry\, Jacque’s pastoral path has taken her from small urban parishes to historic pulpits\, notably as the lead minister for the Villages of Alfred Street at the renowned Alfred Street Baptist Church.  \nExtending her service well beyond church walls\, Jacque was the first executive director of the Boston Ten Point Coalition — a violence reduction initiative credited with nearly two homicide-free years among Boston’s youth under 21. Later\, she founded the Pastoral Counseling Center at Trinity Church Boston. Jacque also co-founded Courageous Conversations\, a national dialogue series fostering belonging and understanding in a polarized age.  \nJacque’s impact has been recognized with numerous honors\, including the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Boston University School of Theology\, the 2022 Citizen of the Year Award from Barrington\, Ill. and the Women of Distinction Award from the Barrington Chamber of Commerce. Jacque’s most recent work\, “A Sacred Pause\,” is a collection of meditations\, journals\, and reflections which has drawn a growing online following for its mix of stillness\, wisdom\, and grace.  \nJacque holds a Bachelor of Arts from Northwestern University\, Master of Arts from Columbia University\, Master of Divinity and Ph.D. in Theology from Boston University.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Opera Conservatory with the Music School Festival Orchestra "L’Enfant Prodigue & Les Mamelles de Tiresias"
DESCRIPTION:Music by: Claude Debussy & Francis Poulenc\nLibrettist: Édouard Guinand & Guillaume Apollinaire\nStage Director: Emma Griffin\nConductor: Timothy Muffitt  \nTwo masters of French music share the stage in a sparkling double bill. Francis Poulenc’s Les Mamelles de Tirésias (1945) bursts with surreal satire\, flipping gender norms topsy-turvy in a wildly imaginative romp of music and mischief. It’s paired with Claude Debussy’s luminous early masterpiece L’enfant prodigue (1884)\, a one-act cantata suffused with longing\, redemption\, and sumptuous lyricism. Together\, these works deliver an evening of operatic drama and delight.     \nThe Chautauqua Opera Conservatory is a premier\, immersive summer program offering the highest caliber of training for young singers ages 18 and older. Under the leadership of Director Jonathan Beyer\, participants join a select community of singers who study\, coach\, and perform in the inspiring and idyllic setting of the Chautauqua Institution in western New York State.   \nOur program combines rigorous artistic preparation with a warm\, encouraging environment that puts each singer’s growth and well-being first. Voice lessons\, role study\, vocal coachings\, and masterclasses are led by a distinguished full-time faculty of voice teachers\, coaches\, and stage directors\, alongside renowned guest artists from the world’s leading opera houses and conservatories. Students explore and perform repertoire spanning Opera\, Art Song\, Oratorio\, Chamber Music\, and Crossover styles. \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.
