Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts 251 N. Spruce Street, Winston-Salem

It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie — a jumble of disparate, fading memories — has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace. Mountcastle Forum – Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts September 13-14, 20-21 at 8 p.m. and September 15 & 22 at 2 p.m.

Duke Chapel presents – Bach Cantata Series: Chamber Cantatas

Duke University Chapel 401 Chapel Drive, Durham

Johann Sebastian Bach's church cantatas are often considered the pinnacle of German sacred music, works whose theological depth and emotional resonance touch deep places in the human soul. This year, we follow Bach through the various stages of his career, from his earliest appointments in Arnstadt and Mühlhausen, to Weimar, and to the culmination of his work in Leipzig. Each place and each employment offered Bach different opportunities to focus his creative energies. The theme of this concert is "Arnstadt and Mühlhausen: Chamber Cantatas"; and features these cantatas: Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (BWV 106), Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir (BWV 131), and Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich (BWV 150). Learn more about the music in this concert by attending a pre-concert conversation at 4:00 p.m. in Goodson Chapel in the Divinity School's Westbrook Building. There is no charge for admission. Paid parking is available on a first-come-first-served basis in the Bryan Center Garage at 125 Science Drive. ADA parking is available in the surface lot at the same address.
