"The Middle Place: An Exploration of Grey Spaces in Illness and Recovery Narratives"
Memoirist Mallary Tenore Tarpley will discuss her new book, SLIP: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery. This invitation-only event will delve into the author's personal story (detailing how she developed an eating disorder at age 12 after her mother died, her diagnosis and treatment, and her time in college) and include a discussion of the various ebbs and flows of her recovery as an adult and mother. While discussing the nuances of recovery, Tenore Tarpley will examine key concepts from her book, including restorative narratives, narrative psychology, and the imperfect "middle place" between acute sickness and full recovery. Learn about the research and reporting Tenore Tarpley did for the book, including her related findings and insights.

Monday Series Concert Four Hands, Global Rhythms: A Piano Duet Recital featuring Debra Ronning and Justin Badgerow
Join us for an exciting journey across continents and centuries in this dynamic Piano Four Hands Recital! Experience the unique joy and complexity of two pianists sharing a single instrument, presenting a program rich in contrasting national rhythms, lyrical transcriptions, and vibrant contemporary flair. The evening begins with the enchanting charm of Franz Schubert’s Divertissement à la Hongroise, a masterful work for four hands steeped in Hungarian folk spirit. This romantic drama is contrasted by the exquisite lyricism of J. S. Bach/Gounod’s Ave Maria, presented in a unique arrangement for piano duet. Following the intermission, the program moves with rhythmic energy, celebrating the sounds of Latin America and Iberia. Discover the driving Salsa rhythms of Bernardo Cardona’s La Candelaria, an electrifying contemporary piece that captures the heart of Medellín, Colombia. This is paired with the tender beauty of Dvorák’s "Songs My Mother Taught Me," presented in a moving transcription.
