Mondays, 10:30 AM,
Holley Hall
Facilitator: June LeBell
The 2008 season kicks off with Music Mondays featuring the “Busy B’s,” ten sessions covering composers from Bach to Bernstein, a program we know music lovers will enjoy at Holley Hall. Among those visiting this year will be Sherril Milnes, Metropolitan Opera baritone; internationally renowned flutist, Eugenia Zuckerman and former principal oboist of the New York Philharmonic, Joseph Robinson. These programs combine commentary with recorded examples and some feature live performances by the guest presenters.

Tuesdays, 10:30 AM,
Players Theatre of Sarasota
Facilitator: Don Savage
The Tuesday Contemporary Series focuses more on domestic issues, many of which will impact the 2008 Presidential election. We do have one international program on Tuesday and are especially excited about it. This featured presentation January 15 will be a special Dialog dealing with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. An expected sellout, a subscription to this series will ensure that you won’t miss this program and as well provide the opportunity to hear ten other great speakers. Programs are presented at the Players Theater on Tuesday mornings in Sarasota and repeated in Venice at the Venice Community Center in the afternoon.

Wednesdays, 10:30 AM,
Players Theatre of Sarasota
Facilitator: Roy Turrett
The International Programs on Wednesdays and Thursdays at the Players Theater in Sarasota will again feature some old favorites. Dr. Robert Barylski, Martin Walker and Dr. Jerry Pubantz all return and are joined by some very exciting new speakers. As you might expect, the Middle East and China are featured in a number of sessions. Another explores the global competition for scarce resources, and we will look at Islam from the perspective of a Palestinian- American. Always popular, the Thursday series sold out last May when series ticket holders were offered the opportunity to renew their subscriptions, but series tickets are available for Wednesday. Even though Thursday series tickets are not available, and Wednesday’s will likely sell out, we are always able to accommodate some daily ticket buyers on the day of the lecture since all series ticket holders do not attend all lectures. Those wishing to attend individual lectures should arrive early and will be admitted on a space available basis beginning 15 minutes prior to the start of a lecture.
