SalonEra: Finding Lisette
February 13 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm EST
Free
In recent years, the Haitian Creole song “Lisette quitté la plaine” has become a major part of baritone/scholar Jean-Bernard Cerin’s professional life. In this episode of SalonEra, Jean-Bernard traces the history of this song text and explores how the song shifts in meaning as it travels around the globe and is transformed by different musical communities. Through Jean-Bernard, “Lisette” becomes a lens through which we can explore the dynamic, fraught history of Haiti and its occupiers.
NEW THIS YEAR: SalonEra episodes are simultaneously released as video and podcast episodes. Episodes are available to stream from their premiere date thru June 30, 2023.
SE is FREE to watch with a suggested donation of $15/episode. Support SE with a donation or join its Membership Program ($125) for on-demand access to Seasons 1 & 2 of this acclaimed series.
Highlights from this calendar are included in the weekly E-Notes email newsletter (Tuesdays). Selections are made based on variety of event types and geographic regions.
