SUMMARY:Mourning the Ming or Mourning the Self?  Writing Dream of the Red Chamber and Reading It Across Time
DESCRIPTION:Since its emergence in the eighteenth century\, Dream of the Red Chamber has been widely regarded as the greatest novel in the Chinese literary tradition. Written over more than a decade by Cao Xueqin under conditions of poverty and without patronage\, the novel was left unfinished at the author’s death. Yet despite censorship\, repeated bans\, and its early circulation only in manuscript form\, it achieved extraordinary vitality among readers and went on to inspire countless adaptations in drama\, film\, and television. \nThis lecture explores how Dream of the Red Chamber has been written\, read\, and reinterpreted across different historical moments. From its early reception as a work of emotional and artistic brilliance\, through the late Qing and Republican debates between allegorical “hidden meaning” interpretations and modern textual scholarship\, to its Marxist readings in the socialist era\, the novel has continually been reshaped by changing intellectual and political climates. \nBy tracing the novel’s transmission history and major interpretive frameworks\, this lecture asks a broader question: how can an unfinished work remain endlessly generative\, inviting each generation to read its own concerns into its pages? In doing so\, Dream of the Red Chamber emerges not only as a literary masterpiece\, but as a mirror reflecting the evolving cultural psyche of China itself.

SUMMARY:Min Kwon: America/Beautiful 250
DESCRIPTION:For her project America/Beautiful\, Korean-American pianist Min Kwon commissioned almost eighty leading composers across the United States to each write a variation on America the Beautiful\, producing a vast mosaic of voices\, aesthetics\, identities\, and histories. No two variations are alike. Some are tender and lyrical\, others bracing and dissonant; some meditate\, others protest. Together they form a living portrait of a country in conversation with itself. Now\, as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary\, Kwon returns to the Catacombs with music from this monumental project – timed to the release of her complete recording of all 76 variations. What began as a question has become a document of its time: a sonic archive of how America’s leading creative voices\, in all their diversity\, heard this moment in history.
