This retrospective exhibition celebrating his sculptural practice investigates duality and hierarchy as a dialogue between technology-assisted and handmade forms. Beatty’s work\, inclusive of prints and drawings\, is informed by concepts and visual culture taken from science\, nature\, and mathematics. Beatty’s sculptures and drawings are evocative hybrids of geometry and biological form. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				January 21-April 5\, 2025 \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Entry \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nIris & B.

SUMMARY:Sweeney Todd
DESCRIPTION:Department of Theatre & Dance\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sweeney Todd\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim\nBook by Hugh Wheeler from an adaptation by Christopher Bond\n			\n				Buy Tickets: Feb 6 - Feb 16\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\n“Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd . . .”  \nIn the nearly half-century since Stephen Sondheim’s adaptation of a delectably lurid nineteenth-century melodrama premiered on Broadway\, it has become a modern classic. The title character is perhaps the most frightening and complex anti-hero in musical theatre\, a barber whose fury and despair over the loss of his innocent wife to a pitiless predator turns him into a serial killer with a witty and imaginative partner in crime\, his landlady\, Mrs. Lovett. Containing his most ambitious and challenging music\, Sweeney Todd is a fitting tribute to the great composer-lyricist who died in 2021.  \nDirected by Meaghan Deiter\, whose recent productions at the College include Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! and Sondheim’s Company.\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nEvening Presentations\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nTHU FEB 6 @ 7:30 PMFRI FEB 7 @ 7:30 PMSAT FEB 8 @ 7:30 PMTHU FEB 13 @ 7:30 PMFRI FEB 14 @ 7:30 PM **SAT FEB 15 @ 7:30 PM \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nMatinee Presentations\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nSUN FEB 9 @ 2:00 PMSUN FEB 16 @ 2:00 PM \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\n** Enjoy the perfect Valentine’s Day date night at Sweeney Todd with a buy-one-get-one ticket deal!

SUMMARY:Irish Music Hour
DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Irish Music Hour\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nDiarmuid Ó Meachair (button accordion & melodeon) and Matt Mulqueen (piano) will perform a program featuring the music of PJ Conlon (1920s\, New York) and Joe Derrane (1940s\, Boston). \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nPeter Conlon\, the king of the melodeon was Peter James “PJ” Conlon\, an immigrant born in 1892 near Milltown\, County Galway who recorded some fifty commercial recordings between 1917 and 1929. PJ’s eldest sister Mary Ellen also played the melodeon and recorded a 78 rpm disc of her own in 1923. \nConlon began his recording career playing a German-made instrument like that used by John Kimmel but later switched to a more powerful eight-voice accordion from Baldoni Bartoli\, an Italian-American firm whose instruments became the preferred choice among Irish-American “box” players. He played at a fast pace but always in complete control\, and with a penchant for ornamentation and melodic variation. The Depression put an end to his recording career\, but Conlon continued to perform in bars and dance halls. A benefit concert was organized for him in 1935 at the fiddler James Morrison’s Celtic Hall in west Harlem. Though he lived until 1967\, Conlon was not musically active after 1951. His influence on later Irish players was immense and it could well be said that modern traditional Irish style on the button accordion started with P.J. Conlon. \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nJoe Derrane electrified the world of Irish music back in the late 1940s when as a high school senior he recorded eight solo 78-rpm shellac discs for Boston’s Copley Records on the D/C# two-row button accordion. Through his recordings and performances\, this native Bostonian defined the state of the art in Irish-American button accordion playing. \nThe Boston-born son of Irish immigrants\, Joe Derrane was among the finest button accordionists in the history of Irish music. He was also a somewhat elusive legend in the genre. \nAfter recording during the 1940s and ‘50s\, he disappeared from the traditional music circuit for thirty-five years\, popping up again in 1994 at the Irish Folk Festival at Wolf Trap.  \nIn 2004 Derrane received one of the highest honors for a traditional musician: the National Endowment for the Arts’ National Heritage Fellowship. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Feb 13\, 20253:00 PM \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Entry \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nBrooks Concert Hall
