SUMMARY:The Greek Diner and the Making of American Cuisine
DESCRIPTION:In this hour-long class\, we will explore the history of the Greek diner and its profound influence on American food culture. On the eve of World War I\, Greek immigrants began buying up the diners abandoned by German Americans facing anti-German persecution brought on by the war. In these kitchens\, the new Greek owners would adapt traditional German travelers’ fare with a touch of the Mediterranean and a pinch of entrepreneurial spirit. The result: A truly American way of cooking and eating.

SUMMARY:24th Annual National Cuatro Festival!
DESCRIPTION:The Cuatro is regarded as the national instrument of Puerto Rico and is revered by the Puerto Rican community as an important part of our history. It is recognized and acknowledged as “our guitar” and holds important traditional and historical value. The Emmy Award-winning Annual National Cuatro Festival (NCF) is a unique music event that brings the best Cuatro musicians “Cuatristas” from Puerto Rico and the mainland to Chicago for a one-of-a-kind concert experience. This cultural event highlights the national instrument of Puerto Rico as an important part of our heritage and history. \nEach year there is a special dedication and one of the highlights of the concert is an opening performance showcasing students from the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance’s Latin Music Project Ensemble. It is more than a concert\, it as a gathering of Chicago’s most long time Latino residents\, the Puerto Rican community\, and an opportunity to join together with pride to celebrate the beauty of the Chicago’s diversity. Preserving Puerto Rican traditions is at the heart of PRAA’s work and the National Cuatro Festival is a key part of our cultural and educational initiatives. \nOver the years the National Cuatro Festival has presented great cuatristas like Yomo Toro\, Pedro Guzman\, Alvin Medina\, Luis Sanz\, Prodijio Claudio\, Christina Nieves\, Manny Trinidad\, Emma Colon Zayas\, Madibel Delgado\, Juradito\, Quique Domenech\, Javier Mendez\, among others.

SUMMARY:NHM Virtual Book Club - The Island of Missing Trees
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Hellenic Museum’s Virtual Book Club! \nIn October\, we will be discussing The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak\, shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction. \nBook Club is free to join and meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM CDT via Zoom. \n  \nMore about The Island of Missing Trees: \n“A wise novel of love and grief\, roots and branches\, displacement and home\, faith and belief. Balm for our bruised times.” ―David Mitchell\, author of Utopia Avenue \nA rich\, magical new novel on belonging and identity\, love and trauma\, nature and renewal\, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World. \nTwo teenagers\, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot\, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna\, hidden beneath garlands of garlic\, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle\, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof\, and this tree bears witness to their hushed\, happy meetings and eventually\, to their silent\, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out\, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble\, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later\, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species\, but really\, he’s searching for lost love. \nYears later a Ficus carica grows in the back garden of a house in London where Ada Kazantzakis lives. This tree is her only connection to an island she has never visited— her only connection to her family’s troubled history and her complex identity as she seeks to untangle years of secrets to find her place in the world. \nA moving\, beautifully written\, and delicately constructed story of love\, division\, transcendence\, history\, and eco-consciousness\, The Island of Missing Trees is Elif Shafak’s best work yet. \nOn the New York Times bestseller list for over 20 weeks * A New York Times Notable Book * A Barack Obama Favorite * A National Book Award Finalist * Named a Best Book of the Year by Fresh Air\, Time\, Entertainment Weekly\, Associated Press\, and many more.

SUMMARY:The Year the Stars Fell: Toward a Continental History of a Very Few Hours
DESCRIPTION:D’Arcy McNickle Distinguished Lecture with Philip Deloria\nOct 20\, 2022\n6:00pm-7:30pm\nHybrid – Ruggles Hall and Zoom \nThis program will be held in-person at the Newberry\, 60 West Walton Street\, Chicago\, and livestreamed on Zoom. \nIn the early morning of November 13\, 1833\, meteors from the annual Leonid showers fell in such abundance\, frequency\, and size that people across North America ran from their homes to contemplate the celestial light show. In the winter count calendars of the Great Plains\, the “Year the Stars Fell” has been used to link up disparate local histories. But the event appears in memory and in writing all across the continent\, from enslaved African Americans in the South to Latter Day Saints and Second Great Awakening revivalists in small towns\, to the scientists of Philadelphia\, Cambridge\, and New Haven\, among others. \nIn this year’s D’Arcy McNickle Distinguished Lecture\, historian Philip Deloria will discuss how the falling stars called into question assumptions about faith\, reason\, and nature. Making connections across time and place\, Deloria will also explore how these stars can help us understand an unknowably broad geography in the narrowest of historical moments. \nSpeakers \nPhil Deloria is a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation and Professor of History at Harvard University\, where his research and teaching focus on the social\, cultural\, and political histories of the relations among American Indian peoples and the United States\, as well as the comparative and connective histories of Indigenous peoples in a global context. Dr. Deloria is the author of many books and articles\, including Playing Indian and Indians in Unexpected Places\, both of which are widely recognized as essential texts in the fields of Native American and Indigenous Studies\, and American Studies. Deloria is also a trustee of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian and serves at the liaison for Harvard University within the Newberry Consortium in American Indian and Indigenous Studies. \nFred Hoxie is an esteemed historian of Indigenous peoples in North America and Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. Dr. Hoxie was on staff at the Newberry for fifteen years\, where he served first as the Director of the D’Arcy McNickle Center and later as Vice President for Research and Education. Hoxie is the author of many books and articles related to Indigenous history and has also served as a consultant and expert witness for the U.S. Department of Justice\, the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs\, the National Congress of American Indians\, and the National Park Service. \nDorene Wiese is a citizen of the White Earth Ojibwe Nation and CEO of the American Indian Association of Illinois. Dr. Wiese’s relationship with the Newberry spans nearly fifty years and includes serving as the co-chair of the Newberry American Indian Oral History Project (1982-1985) and the Seeing Indian in Chicago Photography Exhibition (1985). Wiese also serves on the Advisory Group for the library’s current Indigenous Chicago project\, which will debut in 2024. \nThis program is free and open to all. \nRegister to attend IN PERSON. \nRegister to attend virtually ON ZOOM.

SUMMARY:Kalnas Ensemble Concert
DESCRIPTION:Balzekas Museum welcomes the Kalnas Ensemble string quartet featuring original compositions inspired by ancient Lithuanian folk music \n\n\n\n\n\nOn Saturday\, Sept. 17\, 2022\, the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture welcomes the Kalnas Ensemble to Chicago for what promises to be a memorable concert and exploration of the origins of Lithuanian music. “Kalnas” means “hill” in Lithuania and points to the group’s ethnographic and geographic origins. For the past 150 years\, the hills of Pennsylvania have been home to many Lithuanian immigrants and their descendants\, who settled the region\, worked in the region’s coal mines\, and passed down their deep love of traditional Lithuanian music. Founded by Composer\, Educator\, and Violinist Dr. Stanley Chepaitis\, the string quartet’s repertoire will include Chepaitis’s original compositions inspired by ancient Lithuanian traditional plyphonic folk songs called “sutartinės.” Everyone is welcome to attend. \nTime: Reception at 6PM – Concert at 7PM \nLocation: Amber Ball Room\, Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture\, 6500 S. Pulaski Rd.\, Chicago IL 60629 \nFor more information\, please contact Sigita Balzekas 773-582-6500. \nABOUT THE KALNAS PRESENTATION \nA performance by the Kalnas Ensemble is more than just a concert of passionately played music. It is an exploration of the roots of that music\, bringing together aspects of folklore\, psychology\, history\, and the physics of sound. For this program\, the Kalnas Ensemble will initiate the audience into the unique ethos of Lithuanian traditional music through discussions and demonstrations of its stories\, melodies\, and rhythms as envisioned in Dr. Stanley Chepaitis’ original works.Chepaitis dives deeply into his own Lithuanian heritage\, and into the heart of the songs\, stories\, and dances which form the basis and inspiration for the music he creates. From the ancient Sutartinės\, which come out of northeastern Lithuania\, to more recent folk songs from around the country\, this music paints a picture of ancient and medieval Lithuanian life in its focus on nature and the cycles of life. The string quartet’s voices represent a search for the timeless Lithuanian soul and an attempt to bring that soul to modern ears. This performance by the Kalnas Ensemble is designed to offer an appreciation of the deep roots of Lithuanian culture and its impact on the culture of America and of all humanity in the 21st century.

SUMMARY:NHM Virtual Book Club – Cloud Cuckoo Land
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Hellenic Museum’s Virtual Book Club! \nIn September\, we will be discussing Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr\, Pulitzer Prize-Winning author of All the Light We Cannot See. \nBook Club is free to join and meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM CDT via Zoom \nMore about Cloud Cuckoo Land: \nFrom the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of All the Light We Cannot See\, comes the instant New York Times bestseller that is a “wildly inventive\, a humane and uplifting book for adults that’s infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences” (The New York Times Book Review). \nAmong the most celebrated and beloved novels of recent times\, Cloud Cuckoo Land is a triumph of imagination and compassion\, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril\, who find resilience\, hope\, and a book. \nIn the 15th century\, an orphan named Anna lives inside the formidable walls of Constantinople. She learns to read\, and in this ancient city\, famous for its libraries\, she finds what might be the last copy of a centuries-old book\, the story of Aethon\, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to a utopian paradise in the sky. Outside the walls is Omeir\, a village boy\, conscripted with his beloved oxen into the army that will lay siege to the city. His path and Anna’s will cross. \nIn the present day\, in a library in Idaho\, octogenarian Zeno rehearses children in a play adaptation of Aethon’s story\, preserved against all odds through centuries. Tucked among the library shelves is a bomb\, planted by a troubled\, idealistic teenager\, Seymour. This is another siege. \nAnd in a not-so-distant future\, on the interstellar ship Argos\, Konstance is alone in a vault\, copying on scraps of sacking the story of Aethon\, told to her by her father. \nAnna\, Omeir\, Seymour\, Zeno\, and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders whose lives are gloriously intertwined. Doerr’s dazzling imagination transports us to worlds so dramatic and immersive that we forget\, for a time\, our own. \nOn the New York Times bestseller list for over 20 weeks * A New York Times Notable Book * A Barack Obama Favorite * A National Book Award Finalist * Named a Best Book of the Year by Fresh Air\, Time\, Entertainment Weekly\, Associated Press\, and many more
