SUMMARY:Curtis Symphony Orchestra: Eschenbach Leads Bruckner 3
DESCRIPTION:Curtis Symphony Orchestra launches its 2025–26 series with a dynamic program tracing the evolution of orchestral music. The evening opens with Overture to The School for Scandal\, Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber’s witty and fast-paced overture inspired by Sheridan’s 18th-century comedy. Grammy-winning conductor Christoph Eschenbach leads Krzysztof Penderecki’s Concerto Grosso for Three Cellos\, featuring Curtis alumni Nicholas Canellakis\, Yumi Kendall\, and Christine Jeonghyoun Lee—a striking work that blends lyrical beauty with bold dissonance and rhythmic intensity. \nThe program culminates in Anton Bruckner’s monumental Symphony No. 3\, a sweeping and heroic masterpiece that unfolds in waves of majestic brass chorales\, soaring themes\, and a staggering sense of scale. \nPlease note programs and artists are subject to change.

SUMMARY:"Middle Spoon" Book Launch with Author Alejandro Varela
DESCRIPTION:Join us at H&H Books on Tuesday\, Oct. 14 as we welcome authors Alejandro Varela and Joseph Earl Thomas to celebrate Alejandro’s new novel\, MIDDLE SPOON. An audience Q&A and book signing will follow their reading and discussion. \nRead on for more details! \nAbout the Book: \n“Dear Ben\, \nI wouldn’t have thought it possible for me at this age and at this otherwise fruitful moment in my life to plumb a new low.” \nSo begins MIDDLE SPOON\, a one-sided epistolary novel in which our narrator (happily married\, adorable kids\, comfortable life in Brooklyn\, etc.) has just been unceremoniously\, abruptly dumped by his young\, hot boyfriend. He spirals into first-time heartbreak and must confront a world still struggling to understand polyamorous relationships. MIDDLE SPOON skewers the unspoken rules we still live by–from taboos around intimacy to the shortcomings of Oscar season\, pop culture\, and gluten-free food–offering a surprising perspective on love\, loss\, and reinvention. Heart-wrenching and uproariously funny\, this is a book for anyone who has longed\, nursed a broken heart\, or grappled with love at its messiest. \n“A sly\, analytical opera of the heart.” – Andrew Sean Greer\, LESS \n“A gripping work of domestic fiction that freaks the emotional constraints of the genre.” – Maya Binyam\, HANGMAN \n“Fiercely funny\, intelligent\, unhinged\, and humane\, [MIDDLE SPOON] stares right into the abyss with you\, pointing out all there is still left to love.”- Mira Jacob\, GOOD TALK \nReady to read? MIDDLE SPOON will be available in-store at H&H Books beginning Sept. 9. You can also preorder a copy on our ecommerce site. \nJoseph’s books\, SINK: A MEMOIR and GOD BLESS YOU\, OTIS SPUNKMEYER (both of which are H&H staff faves) are available now in-store and online. And you can read more about both authors’ work on H&H’s website. \nRegistration is highly recommended! Tickets are free\, but an attendance count helps us organize our space and plan even more events for our community. \nEmail events@theheadandthehand.com with any questions and follow us @theheadandthehand on Instagram.
