Artifacts trace the history of the áo dài as a practical item of clothing and important symbol of Vietnamese heritage and identity in Vietnam\, among Vietnamese Americans\, and on the global stage—thus showing how a national costume can be both traditional and modern fashion with meanings that change over time and space. \nCo-curated by Professors Ann Marie Leshkowich (Anthropology\, College of the Holy Cross)\, Martina Nguyen (History\, Baruch College\, City University of New York)\, and Tuong Vu (Political Science\, University of Oregon). \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Exhibition Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nPanel: Fashion\, Politics\, and Cultural Identity: The Vietnamese Áo DàiThursday\, September 11 | 4:30 p.m.Rehm Library (Smith Hall) \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nOpening Reception: The Vietnamese Áo Dài in a Time of WarThursday\, September 11 | 6 p.m.Cantor Art Gallery \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nFilm Screening: Journey from the FallFriday\, September 12 | 5 p.m.Rehm Library (Smith Hall) \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nLiving Threads: Community\, Culture and the Áo DàiThursday\, October 23 | 4 p.m.The Beehive at The Prior \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nConcert: The Odyssey–from Vietnam to AmericaTuesday\, November 4 | 7:30 p.m.Luth Concert Hall in The Prior \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nWorkshop: The Politics of National Costume in AsiaFriday & Saturday\, November 7 & 8Rehm Library (Smith Hall) \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 August 26-December 19\, 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.

Bach’s enduring influence is celebrated in Busoni’s immortal piano transcription of the Chaconne from the Second Violin Partita\, a work that became an instant staple of the repertoire. Gubaidulina passionately reimagines the continuous variation form in her 1962 Chaconne. Throughout her life\, she felt a profound affinity with Bach\, especially in their shared fascination with number\, numerical symbolism\, and his chorales—elements that resonate strikingly and form the very foundation of her own Chaconne. Together\, these works chart a lineage of innovation—composers who\, like Debussy and Gubaidulina\, forged unconventional paths of timbral and structural exploration. \nThe journey culminates in Ralf Yusuf Gawlick’s Mysterium doloris quintae (Tropen-Kreuz)\, a meditation on the crucifixion that takes shape as a musical cruciform. Quotations from Bach\, Mozart\, and children’s songs from around the world intersect within an aural cross that binds Christ’s suffering to the pain of all innocents. Bach’s Mache dich\, mein Herze\, rein and the Crucifixus stand at its core\, while Mozart’s K.414 Andante and Contessa perdono introduce moments of purity\, mercy\, and forgiveness. Suspended between recitations of the Ave Maria plainchant\, the work collapses past and present\, revealing Golgotha as an ever-present reality wherever innocence suffers. In this cruciform\, suffering is transformed into a space where grace\, mercy\, and hope break through\, embodying Christ’s words: “Let the children come to me\, and do not prevent them. For such is the kingdom of heaven.” \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 October 25\, 20257:30 p.m. \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\nLuth Concert Hall URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/a-century-of-piano-music/ LOCATION:DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC – Luth Concert Hall –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/liudmila-web.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
