There is always interesting stuff going on at NU. I noticed two recently.
First, pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim will discuss the life and works of Edward Said. Barenboim, an Israeli Jew, and Said, a Palestinian, were good friends. Their reflections on music and culture are found in a book, entitled, Parallels and Paradoxes.
Also, tonight, for those of you West Wing fans, Josh Malina, will be giving a talk at Pick Staiger Concert Hall at 7:30. He tends, from what I hear, to be out- spoken in his support of Israel. I found it a little odd that he was speaking at a time and night that conflicts with the show's time slot. Hmmmm.
