May 2022 Save The Dates at ArtRage: “Climate Change as Class War” – Book Launch with Matt Huber,Celebrating Leo Crandall – CD Release Party and Community News

ArtRage

Monday, May 9, 2022 at 7pm Syracuse DSA presents “Climate Change as Class War” – Book Launch with Matt Huber
Join Syracuse DSA for a hybrid, in-person & online, book launch event with author (and DSA member), Matt Huber. The climate crisis is not primarily a problem of ‘believing science’ or individual ‘carbon footprints’—it is a class problem rooted in who owns, controls and profits from material production. As such, it will take a class struggle to solve.In this groundbreaking class analysis, Matthew T. Huber argues that the carbon-intensive capitalist class must be confronted for producing climate change.

ArtRage

Yet, the narrow and unpopular roots of climate politics in the professional class is not capable of building a movement to face this challenge. For an alternative strategy, he proposes climate politics that will appeal to the vast majority of society: the working-class. Huber evaluates the Green New Deal as a first attempt to channel working class material and ecological interests and advocates building union power in the very energy system we so need to dramatically transform.

In the end, as in classical socialist movements of the early twentieth Century, winning the climate struggle will require an internationalist approach based on a form of planetary working class solidarity. Register for the online event HERE

Community News

Saturday, May 21 at 8 PM and Sunday, May 22 at 2pm, The Parting, New York premiere by Chelsea Opera at Jazz Central, 441 E. Washington St., Syracuse. The Parting, an opera with music by Tom Cipullo with a libretto by David Mason, is told using the lyrical words of Hungarian-Jewish poet Miklós Radnóti’s experiences, discovered after his murder at the hands of the Nazis in WWII. Entwined in Radnóti’s story is that of his wife, Fanni Gyarmati, and the specter of death that haunts the couple on their last night together in 1944 before he leaves for a labor camp for the third time. This remarkable work brings the voices of the Holocaust back to us almost 77 years after the end of WWII.

The poetry, music, and spiritual resilience continue to illuminate our shared humanity in the face of unspeakable evil. Special thanks to Community Bank for sponsoring this production!  Featuring GRAMMY-nominated soprano Laura Strickling, Syracuse favorite Peter Kendall Clark, and mezzo-soprano Sarah Heltzel. Directed by Garrett August Heater, music direction by Ben Grow, with technical design by Andy Hughes, and stage management by Josh Gadek. Dramaturgy by Franco Pedicini and animations by Deniz Khateri. Produced by Leonarda Priore.

Attend a pre-show event with composer Tom Cipullo and WCNY FM radio host Diane Jones, Saturday, May 21 at 7:15 PM! Ticket link: HERE   20% off promo code (until May 10):  Parting20
