Public Events Concert: The Anonymous 4 presents The Miracles of Sant'Iago
The Anonymous 4 will present an a capella concert of medieval music, The Miracles of Sant'Iago, at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, in Herrick Chapel. Anonymous 4 will tell the stories of the life and miracles of St. James, the first apostle to die a martyr, whose legendary burial place was Compostela, a remote village in Spain. Compostela was one of three holy places visited by Christian pilgrims during the Middle Ages. The other two were Rome and Jerusalem.
Anonymous 4 includes Ruth Cunningham, Marsha Genensky, Susan Hellauer and Johanna Maria Rose, who experiment with the sound of medieval chant and polyphony. They combine musical, literary and historical scholarship with 20th century performing intuition as they create innovative programs, interweaving music with poetry and narrative.
Anonymous 4's recordings include An English Ladymass, On Yoolis Night, Love's Illusion and The Lily and the Lamb, all on Harmonia Mundi USA. Love's Illusion made the top ten Billboard chart just two weeks after its release. The Lily and the Lamb was named record of the month by CD Review in September 1995.
Michael Cavanagh, chair of the Public Events Concert committee states, "The trademark of the Anonymous 4 is the sheer unity of sound, the beauty of their otherworldly singing, that brings the listener into the medieval music. For 14 years, they have been singing together, touring the world and making hit recordings that soar to the top of the classical music charts. This is a concert that lovers of a capella music, women's voices and medieval music will relish."

Cafe Au Lait, France, 1994. In French with subtitles in English. Color/94 min. Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, ARH 302, Friday/Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday, 2 p.m. (Internet Movie Database)
A high-speed, high-spirited comedy about race and romance in the Parisian melting pot, Cafe Au Lait begins with Lola (Julie Mauduech), a vivacious 18th year-old West Indian of mixed parentage, cheerfully announcing her pregnancy to her two astonished lovers: Félix (played by Kassovitz), who is white and Jamal (Hubert Kounde), who is black. Félix is a belligerent lower-class Jew who works as a bike messenger and embraces African-American hip-hop style. Jamal is dignified, somewhat insecure law student from a wealthy diplomatic family. The story centers on the raucous rivalry (and developing bond) between the two bickering boyfriends, who agree to share prenatal duties while living with Lola....

English actress Judith Dench has long been famous for her BBC productions and her work in dramas such as Kenneth Branaugh's Hamlet. She has been named a Dame of the British Empire for her contribution to the theater. Her BBC work has appeared with regularity on public television in the United States, and when Pierce Bronson recently assumed the James Bond role, Dench became a member of the cast as Bond's secretary. This year she was nominated for an Academy Award for her role as Queen Victoria in the widely acclaimed Mrs. Brown. Helen Hunt, who won the award for As Good As It Gets said Dench should have been the winner.
The story of Mrs. Brown begins when, after the death of Queen Victoria's husband, the queen becomes deeply depressed and withdraws completely from public view. Her servant, Mr. Brown, who secretly adores her, helps her to overcome her depression and brings her back to being the queen she formally was. Unfortunately, their relationship creates gossip. some, including a few in high places, begin referring to the queen as `Mrs. Brown', behind her back. The situation becomes so tense that it threatens the monarchy, itself.
Critics on both sides of the Atlantic have praised the film calling it "stunning—deeply probing—human yet majestic—and a look behind closed doors." One British critic said, "Royalty is on trial, and

There will be a meeting of all students interested in participating in the ALSO Program academic year 1998-1999 this Thursday, April 23, at 7 p.m. in ARH 325.
Instructor: Janelle Taylor (x3148, TAYLORJ) Time: "D" slot, M&W 2:15-4:05 Place: ARH 130 Prereqs: "Intro to Anthropology" or permission of instructor.
This course introduces students to the anthropological study of Chinese societies. Part of the semester will be devoted to reading "classic" and contemporary anthropological work on Chinese culture (i.e. the Han Chinese, in China); part of the semester will deal with ethnic minorities within China, and Chinese communities in other parts of the world (including the United States). Thus, in addition to learning something about what Chinese culture and society are like, we'll also be questioning whether there is a single monolithic thing called "Chinese culture/society," looking at how "Chinese-ness" is constructed and maintained in different circumstances, and reflecting upon the particular theoretical and methodological challenges that the study of Chinese societies poses for anthropology.
