We are all actors in a real-time cultural and environmental drama. It can be scary and confusing, but also rewarding and incredibly creative, and we need hope and a vision. Deep Living offers that vision. With the help of anecdotes, insight, a subtle sense of humor, information, and cultural criticism Deep Living shows how to find meaning and spirit in our most fundamental connections, those with nature, with food and how we grow it, with each other, and with our bodies, but also proposes a grander vision for these seemingly turbulent times.

There are literally thousands of very talented, yet undiscovered composers searching for a public forum to share their music.  Designed by Robert Voisey, 15 Minutes of Fame is a program that allows composers to give their music a live public performance.  Our flute quartet will select fifteen brand-new compositions from this program.  Each work is approximately one minute long and will be combined into one new composition and given its premiere at the Library. Selections by Mozart, Rodgers, Ellington and others will also be performed.
