Harvard Book Store welcomes Margaret Atwood―prize-winning author of more than fifty books of fiction, poetry, and critical essays, including The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments, and a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour for services to literature―for a discussion of her memoir, Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts. She will be joined in conversation by Robin Young—Peabody Award–winning documentary filmmaker and host of NPR's Here & Now.

Thin Places and Narrow Passages: Musical Pathways to the Unbound Spirit features the bold expression of Eudaimonia Voices in an entirely vocal and choral concert that transports and transcends, to the mystical realm, to ecstasy, to a sweet safe haven.

With Eudaimonia’s characteristic diversity of repertoire from the 16th century through the current day, this program centers around Benjamin Britten’s Hymn to St. Cecilia,  while also encompassing otherworldly period works by Byrd, Blow, and Billings, and dipping into contemporary and Appalachian song.

Eudaimonia’s Social Action Partnership for this event will highlight the freeing work of Lesley University’s program for Dance and Movement Therapy, which teaches the power of dance as a channel for trauma recovery and community repair. 

Eudaimonia continues their connection with the social justice initiatives and music program of First Parish in Cambridge where Eudaimonia is Artist-in-Residence.
