Areté concludes its 13th season with “A Tribute to Stephen Sondheim.” Sondheim, who died in November, was the most influential composer-lyricist of the late 20th century and the driving force behind some of Broadway’s most beloved and celebrated shows. He was praised for reinventing the American musical by tackling unexpected themes ranging far beyond the genre's traditional subjects, using complex and sophisticated music and lyrics.

The program will celebrate the life of this iconic American musician by featuring songs from many of his most beloved musicals including “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” “Company,” “Follies,” “A Little Night Music,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Sunday in the Park with George” and “Into the Woods.” Wyant Morton will conduct.

The COVID-19 pandemic renewed interest in the global history of infectious diseases. This year’s lecture series presented by History Department faculty and other experts focuses on different periods in world history when societies faced pandemics and their consequences. Former Cal Lutheran President Chris Kimball, a history scholar, will address the influenza pandemic of 1918-20, known unfairly as the Spanish flu, which arrived near the end of World War I and killed tens of millions of people. That human toll, on top of the war dead, provided the backdrop for dramatic political, social and economic changes. In the United States, the fight against the Spanish flu included advances in medicine and controversial strategies such as mask wearing — and, like today, public health became a heated political issue.

Cal Lutheran, the Thousand Oaks Grant R. Brimhall Library and Ventura County Library are sponsoring the free series, and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation provided grant funding.

Admission is free, but registration is required at https://bit.ly/3j2S2oh. For more information, visit CalLutheran.edu or contact David Nelson at dnelson@CalLutheran.edu.
