Our BNC Chapter contributed over $135,000 of the almost $1 million in donations raised during BNC's Magnify the Mind Campaign. The Campaign funds have been used to purchase and equip space for a high-speed two-photon microscope. This essential technology allows Brandeis researchers and science students the ability to observe brain activity in real time and will also help to keep Brandeis University at the forefront in research for neurodegenerative diseases. At our BNC Phoenix Fall Opening Event, we were fortunate to have as our guest speaker Joshua Trachtenberg. Dr. Trachtenberg graduated from Brandeis in 1990 and is a leader in studying the living brain in action by using advanced imaging technology. After establishing his research laboratory at UCLA, he founded a company named Neurolabware. It was their two-photon microscope that was purchased for use at Brandeis University. Our sincere thanks to our Program VPs Bonnie Clewans and Judy Krockey and the Programming Committee for creating an informative and enjoyable brunch.

    TOSCA Composer: Giacomo Puccini Act I — Rome, June 1800;The Church of Sant’Andrea della Valle. Napoleon Bonaparte is advancing with his army. Bonaparte is the political enemy of Scarpia and the hero of Cavaradossi and Angelotti. Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner, takes refuge in a side chapel of the church of Sant’Andrea della Valle in Rome. An elderly sacristan comes to tidy up, followed by Cavaradossi, a painter, who is at work on a portrait of the Madonna. Cavaradossi compares his Madonna’s blonde-haired, blue-eyed charm with the dark beauty of his lover, the famous singer Floria Tosca (“Recondita armonia”). Angelotti emerges from hiding to find Cavaradossi, his political ally,who promises to help his friend escape from Rome. Angelotti hides again at the sound of Tosca’s voice from outside. Tosca jealously demands to know why the door was locked. Cavaradossi reassures her, and they join in a passionate duet (“Non la sospiri”). Once Tosca has gone, Angelotti reappears and he and Cavaradossi plan his flight. A cannon shot from the Castel Sant’Angelo announces the discovery of Angelotti’s escape. They exit. The sacristan enters followed by clerics and choir boys, all excited by rumors of Bonaparte’s defeat (“Tutta qui la cantoria”). Baron Scarpia, the chief of police, arrives with his henchman Spoletta in search of the escaped prisoner. Tosca returns, and Scarpia plays upon Tosca’s jealousy in hopes of discovering Angelotti’s whereabouts (“Tosca divina”). When she leaves to seek her lover, Scarpia has her followed. As the crowd intones the “Te Deum,” Scarpia vows to bring Cavaradossi to the gallows and Tosca into his arms (“Va, Tosca! Nel tuo cuor s’annida Scarpia”).

He traveled widely as a young man and, after a sojourn in Italy in his twenties, began writing Italian operas. He settled in London at the age of 26 to write more of them, but when the popularity of Italian opera began to decline, he turned his efforts to writing oratorios, which were, in essence, operas without stage action. Most of Handel's oratorios were on Biblical subjects, chosen from the Old Testament, but not in any true sense sacred works. Messiah, his only oratorio based on the New Testament, was something different. It is not a dramatic work like the oratorios before and after it, but a contemplative one, which Handel called "A Sacred Oratorio." Messiah is in three parts. The first celebrates the birth of Jesus, from eager anticipation and prophecy to jubilant fulfillment and thanksgiving. The second part deals with the Passion and its redemptive significance, culminating in the magnificent "Hallelujah" chorus, and the third is a great affirmation of faith, growing from quiet profundity to the ringing jubilation of the chorus "Worthy Is the Lamb" and the final grand "Amen." The University Musical Society appreciates Great Lakes Bancorp 's grant in support of these Messiah concerts.
