This lecture explores how depictions of women reading, writing, and receiving letters in seventeenth-century Dutch genre paintings may be understood as expressions of modernity. These contemporary scenes of "everyday life," though imagined and often idealized, engaged with social and cultural ideas about women's education, literacy, and learning in the Dutch Republic. Focusing on the exceptional group of paintings by Gabriel Metsu, Frans van Mieris, and Gerrit Dou presented in the exhibition Exchanging Words: "Women and Letters in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Genre Painting", this lecture takes a closure look at these captivating images and the ways in which artists depicted women as active participants in their intellectual lives.

Jazzgrass is an exciting band dedicated to toe-tappin’, accessible music, honoring the traditions of bluegrass, Appalachian music, Americana and the jazz composers who have their ears attuned to our rural homeland. Jazzgrass will be performing music written by Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Pat Metheny, Dave Grusin, Barnaby Finch, Natalie McMaster, the Allman Brothers and many more.... Jazzgrass bio: Jazzgrass was put together in 1999 by Barnaby Finch to honor the newer and more progressive side of Bluegrass music. Jazzgrass originally had Sean and Sara Watkins, soon to be very famous with Nickel Creek, and Kevin Hennessy on bass. Nickel Creek burst onto the scene, and that was the end of that lineup. In 2011, Barnaby wanted to perform that music again and recruited some talented locals to play. There's Don Reed on mandolin, dobro and guitar, a famous Idyllwild virtuoso who has performed with J.J. Cale, Dick Dale, Ian Tyson, and Jackie de Shannon. Also Lily McCabe on fiddle, a talented young lady with a gorgeous tone, who plays for the Troubadours at the Ramona Festival, and with her partner, Wayne Cameron, as part of the popular duo, Swift Pony. On bass is Bill Saitta, one of the busiest musicians in the Coachella Valley, and Andy Fraga, Jr. on drums. Andy is the son of piano legend Andy Fraga, Sr., and is a very busy virtuoso himself. Rounding out the band is veteran ace Sean Longstreet, who has a long list of credits. Sean is an accomplished educator, and is involved with the Diamond Valley Arts Council in Hemet. Pianist Barnaby Finch is the musical director, with credits ranging from George Benson, Lee Ritenour, Tom Scott, Lionel Richie and many others. If you don't like the music, it's his fault.
