SUMMARY:The Lion and the Lute: Music at the Court of Leo X (Wilmette)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW\nThis event is open to the general public. \nWine & Cheese Reception | Concert | Compline \n  \nPlease email Margaux Taffet (mtaffet@lumenchristi.org) with any questions. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Schola Antiqua. \n \nElected pope at thirty-seven\, Giovanni de’ Medici – Leo X (r. 1513-1521) – presided over one of the most resplendent courts of worship and art in the Renaissance. His reputation as a champion of sacred music reached far beyond Rome\, prompting composers and court across Europe to prepare works and volumes of music in his honor. This program brings together magnificent choral music heard in the pope’s presence and music offered to him from afar\, from radiant sacred polyphony to the intimate lute artistry of Francesco da Milano\, evoking the sacred beauty that animated his brief but consequential papacy. \nJoin us for a wine & cheese reception\, and a concert featuring Schola Antiqua in the chapel of Loyola Academy. \nA Friday concert will also be held at the University of Chicago\, more information can be found here.  \n  \nSchedule:\n5:00pm             Wine & Cheese Reception\n5:30pm              Concert\n7:20pm              Compline\n7:30pm              End

SUMMARY:The Master and Margarita
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW\nMeets Weekly on Thursdays: April 2\, 9\, 16\, 23\, 30\, May 7\, 14\, 21 \n7:00 – 8:30 (the time has changed) | Dinner Provided \nThis event is designated for University of Chicago undergraduate students. Students will receive a copy of the texts. You may pick up your copy any time during business hours from Gavin House. Please reach out to William Hurley for any questions (whurley@lumenchristi.org). \nA city whose citizens refused to believe in the existence of Jesus\, God or Satan. A certain Satan who arrived in this city—Moscow—with his retinue\, on a hot spring day. A nameless writer pilloried by his novel on Pontius Pilate and his fiery lover who was willing to do anything to save him\, including going to literal hell. A mental facility. A talking black cat who cheated in chess and loved kerosene. The cruel fifth procurator of Judea\, the knight Pontius Pilate. \nA culmination of religious and political satire\, warm humor\, and surreal imagination\, Mikhail Bulgakov’s masterpiece was at the same time ardent and deeply philosophical.  \nOur weekly dinnertime reading group will freely discuss the text in an enriching and inclusive communal setting. In our final session on Week 9\, Professor Caryl Emerson from Princeton University will join us to answer questions and wrap up important themes of the book. \nFor each week\, there will be 30-40 pages of required reading\, and 10-20 pages of optional reading. Our conversation will focus on the required readings. At the end of each session\, I will briefly go over the plot in the optional chapters so that we are on the same page. With that said\, Bulgakov should be a light and delightful read\, and I encourage everyone to do the optional chapters too. The questions and fragmented bullet points\, as seen below\, are guidelines that may prompt conversation but we definitely don’t have to adhere to them. Note that although they are generalized and willfully opaque\, they still contain mild spoilers.  \nCopies of The Master and Margarita will be provided to all participants. Weekly meetings are held over dinner. Weekly reading assignments are kept at or below 30 pages. \nEach quarter\, the Lumen Christi Institute hosts a number of student-led reading groups at Gavin House (1220 E 58th St.). The reading groups are usually held over a shared meal and all participants are provided a copy of the text. Any undergraduate interested in a shared reading of a great text is welcome to join. No religious affiliation is necessary. \nSchedule:\n\nApril 2\n\nBook One\, Ch. 1-3 (p. 3-41) \nOptional: Ch. 4-6 (p. 42-67)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril 9 \n\nBook One\, Ch. 7-9 (p. 68-94)\nOptional: Ch. 10 (p. 95-104)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril 16\n\nBook One\, Ch. 11-13 (p. 105-139) \nOptional: Ch. 14 (p. 140-147)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril 23\n\nBook One\, Ch. 15-16 (p. 148-170)\nBook One\, Ch. 18 (p. 183-201)\nOptional: Ch. 17 (p. 171-182)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril 30\n\nBook Two\, Ch. 19-22 (p. 205-246)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay 7\n\nBook Two\, Ch. 23-24 (p. 247-282)\nOptional: Ch. 25 (p. 283-292)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay 14\n\nBook Two\, Ch. 26-27 (p. 293-326)\nOptional: Ch. 28 (p. 327-337)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay 21\n\nBook Two\, Ch. 29-30 (p. 338-353)\nBook Two\, Ch. 32-Epilogue (p. 363-373)\nOptional: Ch. 31 (p. 354-356)\n\n\n\nSeries Description:\nUndergraduate Reading Group \nEach quarter\, the Lumen Christi Institute hosts a number of student-led reading groups at Gavin House (1220 E 58th St.).
