SUMMARY:Bach Society of Charleston Presents - Bachanalia: Mexico and the Music of Manuel de Sumaya
DESCRIPTION:The Bach Society of Charleston hosts their annual Bachanalia\, celebration and concert. This year’s theme is Mexico and the Music of Manuel de Sumaya\, the Bach of the Americas. Manuel de Sumaya (1678-1755) is a very close contemporary of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) and one of the few influential colonial composers of the period.  \nTickets to this event are $35 for General Admission and $30 for CLS and Bach Society members.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please contact the Bach Society of Charleston by clicking here \n\n\nAbout this Event\nWhile Sumaya and Bach worked in very different environments – the former at the largest Catholic cathedral on the American continent amid a bustling\, multicultural colonial city\, and the latter in a Lutheran church that was more of a regional center – I would argue that we can think of them together as “church musicians” rather than “composers”. Both musicians were organists\, choir directors\, teachers\, and administrators in addition to their achievements as composers. Join Drew Edward Davies\, Associate Professor\, Musicology at Northwestern University and Bach Society of Charleston Artistic Director Ricard Bordas for an evening of wonderful music and discovery. \n\n\nAbout Bach Society of Charleston\nThe Mission of the Bach Society of Charleston is to enrich the Charleston community through presentation of exceptionally high-quality performances of the finest classical music in the repertoire\, with special emphasis on oratorio and large choral works\, world-class visiting artists\, and the sacred and secular music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries from the Baroque and Early Classical periods. This Mission shall be achieved through presentation of the bi-annual Bach Festival and other musical events.

The Ultimate Bath devotes its elegantly illustrated chapters to the most luxuriously designed bathrooms from a wide-ranging list of contributors\, including Gil Schafer\, Nickey Kehoe\, Brigette Romanek\, and Miles Redd. These are baths that\, while grounded in timeless elements\, surprise and enchant. There are grand baths of high style with elegant mirrored and marble surfaces. There are bold rooms of rich maximalist pattern and color. There are strictly tailored spaces of great restraint and serenity. And finally\, there are baths with restorative views to the garden or forest—or in the middle of nature themselves. \nGathered together\, these spaces seduce\, delight\, and serve as a visual blueprint for readers looking to create rest\, refuge\, and beauty at home. The end result is a book that celebrates the unexpected and inspires readers to bring a magical quality to their own baths\, no matter how modest or grand. \nAbout Barbara Sallick:\nBarbara Sallick co-founded Waterworks—the premier luxury brand of kitchen and bath fittings\, fixtures\, furniture\, and accessories—with her husband\, Robert Sallick\, in 1978. She serves as the company’s senior vice president of design and is the author of Waterworks: Inventing Bath Style\, The Perfect Bath\, and The Perfect Kitchen. She is chair of the dean’s advisory council at Boston University’s Wheelock College of Education and Human Development\, serves as the honorary chair of Rooms with a View\, and is a member of the Decorators Club.

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club // Burning the Books
DESCRIPTION:Join us\, as we have invited Dr. Elisa Jones\, Assistant Professor of the College of Charleston\, to lead our Book Club conversation of Richard Ovenden’s\, Burning the Books: A History of the Deliberate Destruction of Knowledge. \n\nGiven Dr. Jones’ class\, Information Revolutions: The Radical History of Reading and Knowledge\, which mirrors Ovenden’s message in his pages – we welcome her to discuss the importance of freedom of speech\, the importance of educational access through libraries\, and the epitome of what societal dangers lurk when books and knowledge get stuck in the crosshairs. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe CLS Book Club has become a space for conversations about wide ranging topics\, but such a book\, so directly connected to a library’s mission\, has never been chosen. We hope that this book will provide an opportunity to discuss banned books\, freedom of speech\, educational access\, historical importance of librarianship\, and the power that libraries hold in the 21st century and beyond.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLS Book Club is FREE\, in-person\, open to the public – no matter whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the half-way point. All that is required is an RSVP.\nTo RSVP\, fill out the form at the bottom of the page. \nAbout the Book:\nLibraries have been attacked since ancient times but have been especially threatened in the modern era\, through war as well as willful neglect. Burning the Books describes the deliberate destruction of the knowledge safeguarded in libraries from Alexandria to Sarajevo\, from smashed Assyrian tablets to the torching of the Library of Congress. The director of the world-famous Bodleian Libraries\, Richard Ovenden\, captures the political\, religious\, and cultural motivations behind these acts. He also shines a light on the librarians and archivists preserving history and memory\, often risking their lives in the process. \nMore than simply repositories for knowledge\, libraries support the rule of law and inspire and inform citizens. Ovenden reminds us of their social and political importance\, challenging us to protect and support these essential institutions. \nAbout the Author:\nRichard Ovenden is Director of the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Balliol College. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2019\, is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, and serves as Treasurer of the Consortium of European Research Libraries and President of the Digital Preservation Coalition. \nAbout Elisa Jones:\nElisa J. Jones earned her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She specializes in French history and the history of rights\, with related research interests in the history of the book and censorship. Elisa’s book project The Right to Be Seen and Heard: Liberty of Conscience and the Practice of Citizenship in Early Modern France is a counter-intuitive history of liberty of conscience during the civil and religious wars in late sixteenth and early seventeenth century France known as the Wars of Religion. The unanswered questions this project addresses about how liberty of conscience functioned are nested within the current – and increasingly urgent – scholarly reassessment of the origin and nature of universal human rights. In addition to her two articles in progress\, Elisa is planning a new research project that approaches the relationship between religion\, liberties\, and civil authority through the conflicts over marriage and rape during the Wars of Religion. \nThrough her previous role as the Early Career Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library\, Elisa is involved with several ongoing digital history and pedagogy projects. She is currently coordinating the development of a new digital resource for the Newberry’s vast digitized early modern French pamphlet collection\, as well as editing and developing content for the Newberry’s Digital Collections for the Classroom. Elisa has worked extensively in libraries and archives\, and has taken graduate courses at the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

SUMMARY:"Dangerous Ground: Squatters\, Statesmen\, and the Antebellum Rupture of American Democracy"
DESCRIPTION:Come join historian\, Dr. John Suval as he reveals how white squatters in the American West transformed from remote frontier scourges to central actors in the crisis engulfing the United States in the lead-up to the Civil War. In his new book\, Dangerous Ground: Squatters\, Statesmen\, and the Antebellum Rupture of American Democracy\, Suval shares the surprising story of squatters’ outsized (and overlooked) role in the conquests of Manifest Destiny and the sectional conflict over slavery\, casting urgent new light on the perennial promises and vulnerabilities of American democracy. \nThe squatter – defined by Noah Webster as “one who settles on new land without a title”- had long been a fixture of America’s frontier past. In the antebellum period\, white squatters propelled the Jacksonian Democratic Party to dominance and the United States to the shores of the Pacific. In a bold reframing of the era’s political history\, John Suval explores how Squatter Democracy transformed the partisan landscape and the map of North America\, hastening clashes that ultimately sundered the nation. \nTickets are $10 for members and $15 for guests. Free for students by calling the number listed below and showing a valid ID at check in.\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912.\nOrder “Dangerous Ground: Squatters\, Statesmen\, and the Antebellum Rupture of American Democracy” from Buxton Books in advance by clicking HERE. \nAbout the Book:\nWith one eye on Washington and the other on flashpoints across the West\, Dangerous Ground tracks squatters from the Mississippi Valley and cotton lands of Texas\, to Oregon\, Gold Rush-era California\, and finally\, Bleeding Kansas. The sweeping narrative reveals how claiming western domains became stubbornly intertwined with partisan politics and fights over the extension of slavery. While previous generations of statesmen had maligned and sought to contain illegal settlers\, Democrats celebrated squatters as pioneering yeomen and encouraged their land grabs through preemption laws\, Indian removal\, and hawkish diplomacy. As America expanded\, the party’s power grew. The US-Mexican War led many to ask whether these squatters were genuine yeomen or forerunners of slavery expansion. Some northern Democrats bolted to form the Free Soil Party\, while southerners denounced any hindrance to slavery’s spread. Faced with a fracturing party\, Democratic leaders allowed territorial inhabitants to determine whether new lands would be slave or free\, leading to a destabilizing transfer of authority from Congress to frontier settlers. Squatters thus morphed from agents of Manifest Destiny into foot soldiers in battles that ruptured the party and the country. \nDeeply researched and vividly written\, Dangerous Ground illuminates the overlooked role of squatters in the United States’ growth into a continent-spanning juggernaut and in the onset of the Civil War\, casting crucial light on the promises and vulnerabilities of American democracy. \n“This is an uncommonly good and sweeping study of the vast\, destabilizing roles white ‘squatters’ on western lands played in American political culture in the decades before the Civil War. Using a striking array of sources\, Suval demonstrates how figures once commonly associated with illicit land grabs became a central force in Jacksonian politics and\, eventually\, key players in the clashes over slavery and its expansion. Ranging from the Mississippi Valley in the 1830s to Gold Rush California and the contested prairies of Bleeding Kansas\, the author shows how the figure of the squatter was transformed from a frontier scourge into the main actors of a fraying nation’s most serious crisis.” — Jonathan Earle\, author of Jacksonian Antislavery and the Politics of Free Soil\, 1824-1854 \nAbout John Suval:\nJohn Suval is a historian of the nineteenth-century United States specializing in antebellum political culture\, the American West\, public lands\, and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin and was a Research Assistant Professor of History at the University of Tennessee\, serving as an editor of The Papers of Andrew Jackson. He recently moved to West Virginia where he is at work on a book examining inflection points in the history of American democracy.

The initiative brings together the voices of ocean and water advocacy groups with organizations in the supply chain equipped to bring solutions to the table to remediate the problems that exist today. With a team built by founder Wes Carter\, president of Atlantic Packaging\, one of the largest privately held packaging companies in North America\, the initiative is supported by veterans from the surf\, outdoor\, film\, and packaging industries. \nAbout Wes Carter:\nAs the president of Atlantic Packaging\, Wes realized that the packaging supply chain had a blind spot when it came to acknowledging the problematic components of the products they were selling. He realized that what we needed was an awakening to the fact that the packaging supply chain is a part of the problem. \nWes is the third generation leader of Atlantic Packaging – the largest\, privately-held\, and most technical resource in packaging in North America. Atlantic specializes in optimizing packaging through technology and comprehensive programs to drive sustainable value. The company origin traces back to his grandfather. \nAs a life long surfer\, traveler\, and outdoorsman\, Wes’ link with the global surfing community helps connect the pieces between the ambassadors of the ocean and the leaders in the packaging supply chain who can enact this chance. He launched A New Earth Project in January of 2020 to be the inspiration driving this movement into the future. Today\, Wes is the driving force behind the company’s sustainability initiative and its commitment to making real and lasting change.

SUMMARY:The Moth Founder and Best Selling Author\, George Dawes Green\, comes to CLS

But that changes with pressure from Luke and Stony’s friends Jaq Walker\, a fearless Black aspiring documentarian\, and her uncle by marriage\, Ransom\, disgraced scion of the powerful white Musgrove clan. And then most crucially of all\, formidable family matriarch Morgana Musgrove\, the operator of a detective agency left to her by her late husband\, gets involved after receiving a suspiciously large retainer to investigate. As the uneasy allies work their respective contacts in an increasingly desperate effort to save Stony\, as well as to figure out who wanted to make her disappear and why\, they get unmistakable warnings to back off\, including a second murder and a suspicious “suicide.” Deeply rooted in Savannah’s at times horrific history\, yet looking hopefully toward the future\, this provocative page-turner is sure to enthrall a broad spectrum of readers. Green is writing at the top of his game. Agent: Molly Friedrich\, Friedrich Agency. (July) \nAbout George Dawes Green:\nGeorge Dawes Green\, founder of The Moth and Unchained\, is an internationally celebrated author.
