Music has the power to crystallize a moment in time and evoke eras. In her new concert, Patti LuPone: A Life in Notes, the three-time Tony Award winner performs an array of songs which do just that — songs that are touchstones and reflections on her life growing up in America — from a young girl during the burgeoning rock and roll scene of the fifties, to coming of age in the politically and socially turbulent sixties, to eventually achieving success with both career and family.
Trailblazing Talks with Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, Climber Defying Limits: Climbing the 14 Highest Peaks
At 23, Austrian mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner achieved her greatest dream: climbing an 8,000-meter peak. Fast forward to today, Gerlinde has climbed all 14 of the seminal 8,000+ meter peaks without supplemental oxygen and without the help of high-altitude porters, the first woman to do so. She completed the quest on her 7th attempt up what many consider to be the most daunting climb in the world, the world’s second highest peak, K2, known worldwide as the “Savage Mountain,” in the remote Karakoram Range of Pakistan and China. On stage, she shares her inspiration for climbing and gripping stories of her multi-year quest to become the first.

Artist Statement:
As an infant I was placed in a hollow on the side of a hill under an old oak tree. The smells of the freshly dug earth, the sun dappling on my face, and the gentle rocking of the tree were my companions. Wind gusts rustled my hair, and leaves visited me while I gazed up and waved my arms in celebration. Acorns and bugs watched while the grasses danced and whispered me to sleep, leaving me kin to nature. This experience is expressed in my work through natural found objects and representational forms.
One afternoon, when I was twelve, I watched from my window as my neighbor welded. The arc of sparks was never-ending, beautiful, and mesmerizing. No matter how hard I tried I could not see his project through the bursts of light. I had no idea those bright flashes were permanently burning small holes in the backs of my eyes. Instead of a tragedy, it was an unexpected gift which left me with companion spots that live where I look. These multiple void shapes appear in my work through texture, repeated forms, piercings, and movement.
My current work reflects the ritual of disassembling the strata of these remembered events. I break them into the relevant pieces then like an offering, I add metalwork to honor their distinct beauty. This work speaks to the peace and solace of nature. They are a reflection of self through the lens of my life experiences. I am fascinated by the poetry of shadows, those voids left by encroaching lichen, crisscrossing tree branches, and the evidence of time.
