The Hope Storytelling Project: Understanding Perspective

As Atticus Finch, in To Kill a Mockingbird, once famously said, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb in his skin and walk around in it.” This workshop will develop and challenge our ways to perceive other points of view, to imagine life from a different angle. Poetry requires us to be open to and think of vastly different perspectives, and this workshop seeks to help participants hone that skill. The Hope Storytelling Project @ the Cambridge Public Library is virtual series of 5 bi-weekly poetry workshops, discussing the theme of hope, in partnership with the Cambridge Public Library. Hosted and taught by Harvard students: David Xiang and Alisha Yi. No prior experience in poetry needed. Everyone is welcome! For any questions, please contact David Xiang at dxiang@college.harvard.edu.

Virtual Family Story Time

We invite children and their grownups to join us from home for 20-25 minutes of songs, stories, and rhymes. Caregivers are asked to participate in the program with their children--it will be as important as ever to model movement and song for your little one during this virtual session. Plan to join in, sing along, and move around! Register below. Zoom link will be emailed to registrants one hour before the program begins. Virtual Family Story Time is free and open to the public and is not recorded. If you register but later find you cannot attend, please remember to cancel your registration to make space for others.

Classical Music in Quarantine

Please register below. Zoom link will be emailed to registrants prior to the event. Deberly will play a mostly-Bach program, featuring songs for solo viola. Slightly bigger than the violin, the viola has a deeper, lower sound, and Deberly will choose songs which feature these strengths. The program is designed to be uplifting, restoring, and introspective, playing some of Bach's most well-known pieces, mixed in with some lesser-known hidden gems. This will expand beyond the norms of the concert hall, since you can listen to it as a recital program, focusing on the beauty and joy and intricacies of the piece, or leave it on while you work, clean, study, or play with the kids, to add some beauty and relaxation to your routine. As a violist with a broad background in community music-making, Deberly Kauffman has been playing and teaching for over twenty years. In addition to many international tours, masterclass performances, and orchestral work, Deberly also actively works to create and run programs bringing music education and experience to underserved communities. This year, Deberly was a soloist in Concert for One as part of the Celebrity Series of Boston, and won Boston University’s Bach Competition. She has also been featured on NPR’s “From the Top”. Deberly is starting her Performance Diploma at Boston University, and received her Master’s in Music from Boston University and her B.A. from Princeton University.
