Whitman and the American Legacy, in Song and Conversation at the National Cathedral (Plus a World Premiere)

What would Walt Whitman have thought about the 2018 midterm election campaigns?

The question is not as rhetorical as it sounds: Who knows what profound insight on our divisive political process will be revealed Monday, November 5, in a special performance of songs set to the great poet’s work and followed by a moderated discussion at the majestic Washington National Cathedral.

The Election Eve performance is cleverly called “I Sing the Body Electoral: Celebrating Walt Whitman” and features renowned baritone William Sharp and pianist Wan-Chi Su in an enriching program of Kurt Weill’s “Four Whitman Songs” and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Three Poems by Walt Whitman.”

As a musical bonus, the evening will see the world premiere of American composer Curt Cacioppos’ “I, madly struggling, cry,” a setting of stanzas by Whitman and commissioned by the PostClassical Ensemble, the experimental orchestral laboratory that is sponsoring the event.

The music starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be followed by a discussion hosted by PBS NewsHour correspondent Jeffrey Brown. Panelists include:

  • Martin Murray, Founder of the Washington Friends of Walt Whitman, on Whitman, Washington, D.C., and the Civil War;
  • Brian Youthers, University of Texas at El Paso English professor, on Whitman and immigration;
  • Lorenzo Candelaria, Dean of the School of the Arts at Purchase College, on Whitman and “The American Dream.”

Admission is $65; reservations can be made here. The Washington National Cathedral is at 3101 Wisconsin Avenue, NW; you can not miss it.

Still wondering what Whitman would have thought about the elections? Here’s a clue: “America is not for special types, for the caste, but for the great mass of people — vast, surging, hopeful.”

A New Option for Internet. Finally.

Hi PoPville, I’m with Starry Internet — a new internet provider in the D.C. area. We keep things simple, we only offer one plan (with speeds of 200 mbps download/100 mbps upload) and it’s a flat $50.00/month.

No long-term contracts, fees or escalating prices over time. We also provide our awesome router, the Starry Station, to every user at no cost.

We’re serious about service, with easy access to 24-7 support. Our support team will help you with everything from setting up a Roku to advising on the best streaming TV service based on your favorite shows/channels.

Check out if we’re in your building by entering your address on our website. If we aren’t there yet, you can help bring Starry to your building by telling your condo’s HOA board or your apartment building’s property manager that you want Starry. They can fill out this form and our team will reach out.

Happy Interneting,

Natalie from Starry
