SUMMARY:Farewell to the Lankton Codex and First Viewing of a Carved Icon
DESCRIPTION:Among the many treasures held by our museum is a hand-written copy of the Orthodox classic\, “The Ladder of Divine Ascent“. It was made in 1837 by a Russian Monk named Joseph as a spiritual exercise. In 2010 the Codex resurfaced in a small book shop in Finland and was purchased for our collection as a way to contextualize our Saint John Climacus icons. From time to time old books need to be closed and placed in storage to rest their spines. Museum Curator\, Elliot Mackin\, invites you to bid farewell to the Lankton Codex with a special gallery talk after which he will install a small\, beautifully carved\, icon of the Mother of God Hodigitria.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Contemporary Russian Literature Book Group
DESCRIPTION:New members are always welcome. You can join in person or via Zoom. \nThis month’s book is Secondhand Time: The Last Soviets by Svetlana Alexievich. \nIn Secondhand Time\, Alexievich chronicles the demise of communism. Everyday Russian citizens recount the past thirty years\, showing us what life was like during the fall of the Soviet Union and what it’s like to live in the new Russia left in its wake. Through interviews spanning 1991 to 2012\, Alexievich takes us behind the propaganda and contrived media accounts\, giving us a panoramic portrait of contemporary Russia and Russians who still carry memories of oppression\, terror\, famine\, massacres—but also of pride in their country\, hope for the future\, and a belief that everyone was working and fighting together to bring about a utopia. Here is an account of life in the aftermath of an idea so powerful it once dominated a third of the world. \nPlease contact a.farwell@iconmuseum.org if you would like to join. \n

SUMMARY:Icons After Dark: Encountering the Icon through Slow Looking
DESCRIPTION:$10 for members and $20 for not-yet-members; Limited to 25 attendees \nRegister\n  \nJoin Icon Museum staff for an intimate evening of slow looking and shared discovery. \nSlow looking has become something of a popular phenomenon in the world of art appreciation. This practice invites us to step back from the flickering images of our fast-paced world and spend a generous amount of time observing a single work of art\, uncovering details that typically go unnoticed. This practice lends itself particularly well to the icons in our collection\, which were originally created for deep\, prayerful contemplation. \nAttendees will break into small groups and will be guided through the slow-looking experience by members of the Icon Museum staff. Afterwards\, participants will gather back together to share their observations over drinks and light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Exuberant Voices with Worcester Chamber Music Society
DESCRIPTION:$30 for members\, $40 for not-yet-members\, Children under 17 Free \nRegister\nEnjoy a musical evening of world-class chamber music at the Icon Museum and Study Center with a special concert performed by Worcester Chamber Music Society musicians Krista Buckland Reisner (violin)\, Mark Berger (viola)\, Joshua Gordon (cello)\, and Randall Hodgkinson (piano). \nMartinů’s Three Madrigals are a complex blend of the English madrigals and energetic Bohemian and Moravian folk music that he loved. Beethoven’s cello sonata\, written after a three-year hiatus from composition\, marked a radical stylistic departure from his earlier works and ushered in his late style. Saint- Saëns’ quartet is rhythmically dynamic\, jaunty in tone\, energetic\, and exuberant. \nProgram:\nBohuslav Martinů\n3 Madrigals\, H.313 \nLudwig van Beethoven\nCello Sonata in D Major\, Op. 102 No. 2 \nCamille Saint-Saëns\nPiano Quartet in B-Flat Major\, Op. 41
