More than 100 years after the release of D. W. Griffith's epic The Birth of a Nation (1915), performance artist and musician Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid, has applied a "DJ mix" to one of the most revered and yet also reviled films ever made. Miller's reading of the overt racism depicted in a Reconstruction-era South hurtles Griffith's images into the 21st Century, a socio-political landscape that has evolved beyond all expectations.

SYZYGY Quartet is the name of the Meadows New Music Ensemble, directed by Dr. Lane Harder. It performs the music of living composers, creating high-quality encounters with new music that are innovative, engaging, and relevant to a diverse audience.
