Participants will explore topics of interest to the members in rotating interactive groups of three or four people. After a while, four groups would become two, and people will be asked to express themselves in the third person saying what they understand as the other participants鈥 opinion. We practice expressing an opinion, asking the other person and then giving a summary to a third person. We will explore various topics, some of which could deal with travelling, culture, aging, parenting, and mostly the topics chosen by the members themselves. I would like to support the group, not necessarily lead it. Each week, I will hand out or send an email with corrections, vocabulary or expressions, based on the 鈥樷檓istakes鈥欌 heard during the conversations. What will happen in this study group is what the group will make it, but I know I can help.

Opera鈥檚 trajectory from the early 19th century through today began with Bel Canto in Italy and Grand Opera in Paris. Then Verdi merged the Romantic music revolution and nationalism with a tighter integration of music, lyrics, and plot. In Germany, the self-trained Wagner upended opera and classical music in general. Mussorgsky epitomizes Russia鈥檚 creation of a new opera genre rooted in Slavic music. Puccini led Italy's late 19th-century Verismo movement. In 1905, the shock of Richard Strauss 厂补濒辞尘茅 ushered in 20th-century opera. Berg used atonal serial composition to create his masterpiece Wozzeck. Britten鈥檚 Peter Grimes launched post-1945 opera.

If members of the MCLL community were Indigenous People, we would all share a very different view of where knowledge comes from, who/what generates and validates it, and what role elders play. This study group will explore all too rarely examined assumptions of a Eurocentric culture and its dogma concerning what constitutes knowledge and truth. We will compare them with the more explicit cultural assumptions of Indigenous societies, where elders are cherished knowledge keepers and validators. We will examine the implications of experiencing nature more directly and in a less mediated manner, and how this elevates Mother Earth to the status of Master Teacher. These comparisons will shed light on Indigenous-mainstream cultural and historical conflicts and point to a path forward combining world views. We will delve into some western philosophy and religion and read selections from First Nations and Native American thought leaders in order to better understand who we are and who we might become as a life-long learning community.
