SUMMARY:Dissonance & Resolution in Jazz and Life
DESCRIPTION:In this hybrid lecture/performance\, accomplished pianist Rocco Dapice will describe and demonstrate different ways that dissonance and resolution are created by composers and musicians and how they mirror our life experience. In official music terms\, this involves cadences\, consonant vs. dissonant intervals\, and chord qualities. Using samples mostly from the jazz genre\, he’ll show how musical dissonance parallels the cadences\, tensions\, and resolutions in life — which we can all relate to. \nAbout the performer: Rocco Dapice is a pianist\, teacher\, writer\, YAMAHA Performing Artist\, and graduate of the Manhattan School of Music. He is on the faculty of the Manhattan School’s summer program and New Visions School for Advanced Math & Science; is a teaching artist for MSM’s Distance Learning center; and teaches privately. Rocco has performed widely in over 390 cities\, communicating in word and song in 45 of the 50 states\, Canada\, Mexico\, and the Caribbean. Rocco is a member of ASCAP\, the Jazz Education Network (JEN)\, and the National Assn. of Record Industry Professionals.

SUMMARY:Challah and Conversation: Purim: Looking for Joy\, Especially Now
DESCRIPTION:Who couldn’t use just a little more joy? Jewish tradition teaches us that joy increases in the month of Adar (beginning on March 1) as we anticipate the festival of Purim (March 14).  Let’s use this tradition to learn how we can infuse simchah (joy) into our daily lives given some of the challenges we face. \nIn the Challah and Conversation series\, Rabbi Ron Symons\, Shames JCC Sr. Director of Jewish Engagement\, leads interactive guided conversations about life that weave the world around us with general spirituality through Jewish and other  lenses. We begin our time together by lighting candles and end with a little grape juice and challah… all in a very inclusive way. Neighbors of all backgrounds are welcome. These are on the 2nd\, 3rd\, 4th\, and 5th Fridays of each month.
