SUMMARY:Overbeck Lecture: Shakespeare Re-imagined for the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:from  April 16 to June 25  @  6:00 pm - 9:00 pm (except April 23)Register HereIs Shakespeare relevant today? Do we really need a building dedicated to him and his times in the 21st century\, when we are so heavily reliant on the virtual world? The Folger Shakespeare Library\, a sleek expression of early 20th century neoclassicism\, stands as one of the most interesting\, privately held buildings on Capitol Hill. The recent re-opening of the Library after a multi-year construction project revealed a major addition which significantly expanded public spaces\, increased accessibility\, and transformed the visitor experience. \nAt the March 30 Overbeck Capitol Hill History lecture\, the illustrated presentation will provide a brief look at the building’s initial purpose and later changes\, with a major focus on the what\, how\, and why behind its most recent expansion in both building and presentation of Shakespeare’s world. \nMs. Eig\, architectural historian\, historic preservation specialist\, and CEO of EHT Traceries\, Inc.\, consulted with the Folger through the extended renovation process. Her work involved extensive documentation of the historic interior spaces\, updating the building’s landmark status\, working with architects to find sensitive ways to adapt the building\, and guiding the historic approvals process. \nThe Shakespeare Re-imagined lecture will be held Monday\, March 30\, at Hill Center\, Old Naval Hospital\, 921 Pennsylvania Avenue\, S.E. (www.hillcenterdc.org; 202-549-4172). Admission is free\, but a reservation is requested due to limited capacity. Reservations can be made starting March 12. Seating will begin at 6:30 pm; the PowerPoint presentation will begin at 7 pm.

DESCRIPTION:from  April 16 to June 25  @  6:00 pm - 9:00 pm (except April 23)Register HereSeth Kibel & The Kleztet will entertain and delight with a program focused on upbeat klezmer music (Eastern-European Jewish folk music) along with some detours into Yiddish folk song\, jazz\, swing\, and the Great American Songbook. Think the Brothers Gershwin\, Irving Berlin\, Jerome Kern\, Duke Ellington\, Benny Goodman\, and more! Seth and his band will have your toes a-tappin’ and make you want to dance in the aisles. Historical commentary (some of which might actually be true) and humorous anecdotes from Kibel will provide an insightful context for their selections. \nKlezmer\, which literally means “tool of song” in Yiddish\, is the secular folk music of the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe. In the first decades of the 1900s\, this music flourished not only in the Old World but also in the New\, in the immigrant community of New York City. There\, the sounds of the European “fiddler on the roof” mixed with the sounds of early jazz and Tin Pan Alley. The result was a quintessentially American sound. \n \nSeth Kibel is one of the Mid-Atlantic’s premier woodwind specialists\, working with some of the best bands in klezmer\, jazz\, swing\, and more. Wowing audiences on clarinet\, flute\, and saxophone\, Seth has made a name for himself in the Washington/Baltimore region and beyond. He is a featured performer with The Kleztet\, Bay Jazz Project\, Music Pilgrim Trio\, Daryl Davis Band\, The Natty Beaux\, and more. Winner of 28 Washington Area Music Awards (Wammies)\, including “Best World Music Instrumentalist” (2003-11) and “Best Jazz Instrumentalist” (2005\, 2007-8\, 2011-14). His most recent recording\, “Clown with a Stick\,” was released in May 2023 on the Azalea City Recordings record label. He’s won numerous prizes in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest (MASC) including the Grand Prize in 2016 and a Gold Prize in 2022. When he’s not performing\, Seth lectures on music history for numerous institutions\, including the Osher Lifelong Learning programs at Johns Hopkins and Towson Universities. In addition to Kibel\, the band features  Sean Lane — piano\, Derek Wiegmann — double bass\, and Joey Antico — double bass. \nDavid Holiday\, a lifelong music aficionado \, founded Stone Room Concerts together with his wife in 2012 to bring intimate\, high-quality performances by local\, national\, and international independent musicians to the DMV area. He has curated and hosted well over 200 concerts over the past decade in his home\, churches\, and Hill Center.

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints DC: The Search for Life Beyond Earth
DESCRIPTION:from  April 16 to June 25  @  6:00 pm - 9:00 pm (except April 23)Register HereProfs and Pints DC presents: “The Search for Life Beyond Earth\,” with Måns Holmberg\, postdoctoral researcher at the Space Telescope Science Institute and part of a team of astronomers looking for chemical traces of life on distant exoplanets. \nAre we alone in the universe? \nWhile many of us have pondered that question\, astronomer Måns Holmberg of Baltimore’s Space Telescope Science Institute is seriously focused on answering it. Last year he was part of a Cambridge-led team of astronomers who generated worldwide headlines by announcing that they had discovered potential evidence of a gas produced almost exclusively by life in the James Webb Space Telescope’s data from the atmosphere of a distant world. \nDr. Holmberg will talk about how the search for life elsewhere is being conducted and what strides are being made on that front. He’ll describe what it would take to confirm signs of life on such a world\, what challenges remain\, and how the next wave of observations could ultimately tip the scales. \nRecent observations from JWST have revealed something extraordinary: the atmosphere of planet K2-18 b contains carbon-based molecules like methane and carbon dioxide and possibly even dimethyl sulfide (DMS)\, a gas that\, on Earth\, is almost exclusively produced by life. Dr. Holmberg will discuss what makes DMS a compelling (though not yet definitive) biosignature candidate. \nYou’ll emerge from the talk with a much richer appreciation of the immense possibilities out there among the stars. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.) \nGet your tickets today!

SUMMARY:Mixology Lab featuring Providencia Bartenders Pedro Tobar and Danny Gonzalez
DESCRIPTION:from  April 16 to June 25  @  6:00 pm - 9:00 pm (except April 23)Register HereProvidencia is included in the 2025 Michelin Guide for its unique cocktails and fusion food \n\nProvidencia is a love letter to the immigrant experience. Tucked away just off H Street’s buzzing trolley-lined street\, this 22-seat bar offers more than food and drinks—it offers a whimsical journey. \nPedro and Danny will guide you through the essentials of concocting three creative and exquisite cocktails. \nBorn from the dreams of immigrants and their children\, Providencia brings together the rich culinary traditions of Asia\, the Caribbean and Latin America to craft an experience unlike any other in Washington\, D.C. Every detail\, from the innovative dishes to the thoughtfully curated cocktails\, tells a story of resilience\, connection\, and cultural pride. \nBehind the bar\, Pedro Tobar and Danny Gonzalez channel the vibrant spirit of their Salvadoran upbringings\, blending nostalgia and creativity into every drink. \nPedro Tobar is a seasoned bartender with nearly a decade of experience in the hospitality industry. Originally from El Salvador\, he began his career as a nightclub runner before stepping behind the bar in 2016. He spent two years as a barback before refining his craft as a bartender at renowned establishments such as the now-closed Espita Mezcaleria and Maketto\, where he served for three years as both a bartender and server. During his time at Maketto\, he launched Clandestino\, a pop-up celebrating Spanish Heritage Month\, showcasing his deep appreciation for spirits and cultural storytelling. Today\, Pedro brings his expertise and passion for hospitality to Providencia\, where he continues to create dynamic and memorable bar experiences \nDanny Gonzalez began his journey in hospitality as a young dishwasher at Maketto\, slowly working his way through every station until he became a lead bartender ten years later. That decade of grit and growth is what shaped his philosophy of care\, consistency and craft. In 2024\, he teamed up with Erik Bruner-Yang and his business partners to open Providencia\, a small but mighty neighborhood bar. In its first year\, Providencia earned nods from bon appétit\, Eater DC\, and the Michelin guide. Danny’s story is one of steady rise and relentless heart\, a reminder that Danny’s path is proof that the industry still rewards people who show up with heart and care for their craft. \nPLEASE NOTE: Tickets are non-refundable.
