SUMMARY:David Waldstreicher

He is Distinguished Professor of History at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.\nWaldstreicher is the author of several award-winning books\, including The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley: A Poet’s Journeys Through American Slavery and Independence\, widely regarded as the most comprehensive biography of the pioneering African American poet.

As an editor\, he has contributed to numerous influential volumes\, including Revolutions and Reconstructions: Black Politics in the Long Nineteenth Century (2020)\, the Library of America edition of The Diaries of John Quincy Adams (2017)\, Beyond the Founders: New Approaches to the Political History of the Early American Republic (2004)\, and The Struggle Against Slavery: A History in Documents (2001).\nHis scholarship has earned recognition from leading historical organizations\, including the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic\, the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture\, the Southeastern American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies\, and the American Jewish Historical Society. In addition to his academic work\, he has written for publications such as The Boston Review\, The Atlantic\, and The New York Times Book Review.\nBefore joining the Graduate Center\, Waldstreicher taught at Temple University\, the University of Notre Dame\, Yale University\, and Bennington College. In 2024\, he delivered the Benjamin Franklin Distinguished Lectures at the University of Pennsylvania under the title “Three Ages of Slavery and the Future of U.S. History.”

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Opera Company Workshop: Anne of Green Gables and A Prayer for Owen Meany
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Opera Company will host the first workshops of two new works by GRAMMY Award nominated composer Luna Pearl Woolf.  Toronto’s Against the Grain Theatre has commissioned a new adaptation of Anne of Green Gables by Woolf and librettist Royce Vavrek (Lincoln in the Bardo). Pacific Opera Victoria and Opéra Magnolia have commissioned the first operatic adaptation of John Irving’s internationally best-selling novel A Prayer for Owen Meany\, for which Woolf will provide both libretto and music.  Through these inventive new operas two of Canadian literature’s most iconic characters\, Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne Shirley and Irving’s Owen Meany\, will come to life.  The public presentation with piano accompaniment which concludes these workshops will be the first time any music from these works has been heard\, and will give Chautauqua audiences a unique opportunity to watch the development of these groundbreaking works.

SUMMARY:Masters Series Masterclass: Colonial Williamsburg Foundation presents Pursuing Happiness with Thomas Jefferson and Fifes & Drums Experience: Thursday
DESCRIPTION:On the evening before Thomas Jefferson turns his draft of the Declaration of Independence over to a committee\, he is visited by three inspiring voices. Witness a series of imagined conversations between Thomas Jefferson\, John Locke and King George III to discover the ghosts behind Jefferson’s drafts of the Declaration of Independence and gain a new perspective on the document we celebrate on the Fourth of July. This special theatrical presentation will be followed by Q & A session moderated by Katharine Pittman\, Nation Builder\, Martha Washington & Program Lead for The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Following the masterclass inside\, enjoy a quintessential piece of the Colonial Williamsburg experience through the vibrations of 18th-century military music with a series of special performances outside Norton Hall. The march of the Fifes and Drums is an indispensable part of the Colonial Williamsburg visit. The shrill fife and the resounding drum broadcast a wave of sound throughout the city announcing the red-and-blue-uniformed regiment moving through the streets of Williamsburg. What started 65 years ago as four high school students playing “Yankee Doodle” at a Fourth of July celebration has since blossomed into two full Corps of local students who perform more than any other youth Fife and Drum Corps in the country. These students keep alive an even longer tradition of military music that dates back centuries.
