Renewal of the NYTimes.com Academic Pass
|
If you picked-up your New York Times Academic Pass a year ago, please remember that it is good for only 12 months and needs to be renewed. If you are one of the few people who wrote down their expiration date then you are ahead of the game. We suspect that for most people the first indication they will have that their Pass has expired will be when they hit the NYTimes.com article pay wall.
The good news is that it is easy to renew the Academic Pass.

Music and the Great War Exhibit
|
Late summer and early fall of 2014 marks the centennial anniversary of the outbreak of World War I. This war had a dramatic effect on the psychological, political, and aesthetic landscape of Europe and North America. Although it is sometimes overshadowed in twentieth-century history by the second World War, the first World War inspired doubt, cynicism, and nostalgia that has resounded to the present day in musical works.
This exhibit takes a look at a few pieces with content that was directly inspired by the events of the war. There is work by Joan Littlewood, Kevin Puts, Alban Berg, John Foulds, and Igor Stravinsky.
Location: Orwig Music Library
Date: September 2014—January 9, 2015
