International Education Week Presentations for Thursday


Don't miss the following presentations for today, Thursday, November 18:

Italian Opera: One People, Many Traditions. 
Presented by Teresa Murano. 
Room 8-100.
Opera is a play designed for the stage, with scenery, costumes and lights, in which music plays a prominent part.  It is the music that gives power and intensity to the lines of the characters. Music adds that emotional element that would otherwise be lacking.  Society, politics and religion have influenced different trends in Opera throughout the Middle Ages, during the Renaissance, through the Baroque period and on into the XIX, XX and XXI centuries.

Margaret Weinert, a student at MCC and the Eastman Community School, will sing the aria "Le Nozze di Figaro" by Mozart, and "Intorno all'idol mio."

Michelle Cook, also an MCC student, will sing "Per la gloria d'adorarvi" from "Girselda" by Giovanni Bononcini, and "Ombra Mai Fu," from Xerxes, by Handel.

Nuyoricans: A Cultural Identity in the Making. 
Presented by Nayda Pares-Kane. 
Room 6-335.
What does the term "Nuyorican" mean?  How does migration from Puerto Rico to New York fuel the construction of a new cultural identity?  Come and participate in a discussion surrounding issues of migration, identity and cultural relativism.
