Frances Pollock decided to compose a 20-song cycle, where each Young Artist would sing a short, a cappella micro-piece about their personal experiences during the pandemic. These singers, they have this incredible instrument, but they’re also these incredible minds and these incredible resources and vessels of information and thought and experiences, she said. To be able to tap into the full performer like that, I just don’t want to create art any other way, and I think I was aware of that I always felt like it was missing for me but now I don’t think I can go back. https://chqdaily.com//chautauqua-song-cycle-presents-snap/

Life is not acute, it’s chronic, Wicks said. A lot of people think, ‘Oh, you have a problem, you conquer it and ’ no, no, life is chronic and comes and goes, but suffering need not be the last word. https://chqdaily.com//dr-robert-j-wicks-touches-on-burnou/

It will not be enough to back to a point where we proclaim that diplomacy matters, nor even to say why it matters, Power said. Instead, we must treat diplomacy as a top line, national and global priority, rooted in a deep-seated, broad-based, whole new appreciation of the fact that our livelihood and our lives depend on it. https://chqdaily.com//our-lives-depend-on-it-former-u-s-a/

Jack Wang will present the final Brown Bag of the 2020 season aptly titled, Late Bloom: Publishing Later in Life, and which will take place at 12:30 p.m. EDT today, on the CHQ Assembly Virtual Porch. You do a lot of research to authenticate time and place in your own mind, he said. I love reading obscure memoirs for research. Even the story in the collection set in London in the 1980s, which is fairly contemporary, I had to do a lot of research for it through the British Library, reading obscure theses about Chinese restaurants. https://chqdaily.com//the-bloom-comes-later-in-last-brown/
