The last NMPhil Coffee Concert of 2023/24 is sure to leave you excited for next season! Premiered in 1803 in Vienna and conducted by the composer himself, Beethoven’s second foray into the world of big, public symphonies combines his unique artistry with his humor, stated through various musical jokes in the Scherzo and Finale. This is one of the last works of Beethoven’s early period. The program—led by Na’Zir McFadden—also includes Anthony Ratinov performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 to lighten your early spring morning.

WHAT'S ON TAP THIS MONTH?

Radiophobia
with Dr. Michael F. Hartshorne

Join us for an intriguing discussion of radiophobia, what is it and how it affects our world.

In recent years, a fear called radiophobia has emerged, causing heightened anxiety around ionizing radiation. Misconceptions about radiation physics and radiobiology have led to a sense of fear among some. Join Dr. Hartshorne as he discusses how this fear has impeded the progress of beneficial technologies such as nuclear power for addressing climate change, nuclear medicine for saving lives, and advancements in nuclear safety. Despite these challenges, is there hope for a more informed and balanced perspective on the benefits and risks associated with radiation-related technologies?

On Saturday, May 25th our Storyteller will be Ed Lewis (Acoma) and book title will be Chester Nez and the Unbreakable Code: A Navajo Code Talker’s Story by Joseph Bruchac (Available in the Indian Pueblo Store here).

As a young Navajo boy, Chester Nez had to leave the reservation and attend boarding school, where he was taught that his native language and culture were useless, but Chester refused to give up his heritage.

Years later, during World War II, Chester and other Navajo men like him were recruited by the US Marines to use the Navajo language to create an unbreakable military code. Suddenly, the language he had been told to forget was needed to fight a war.

This powerful picture book biography contains back matter including a timeline and a portion of the Navajo code, and also depicts the life of an original Navajo code talker while capturing the importance of heritage.
