Love, heartbreak, war, compassion, and hope — timeless human experiences carried across more than a century of music.
"Love and War" is a classical art song recital featuring Ecuadorian tenor, Francisco Ortega and Ukrainian pianist, Ekaterina Poukhiria Komova.
The performance begins with Schumann’s Dichterliebe, a deeply personal exploration of love, longing, heartbreak, and resignation.

Together, these works move from the intimate to the universal — and ultimately toward compassion and hope...

Spanish in Action helps you connect what you already know and understand how the pieces fit together. Our upcoming class gives you the opportunity to strengthen what you know, fill in gaps, and start making those connections.
Through grammar, conversation, guided practice, and real-life situations, you’ll work with everyday topics including past experiences, future plans, travel, food, work, housing, health, shopping, and leisure while developing your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
