Join SCRWP and PAAGSA for dinner and a discussion, in response to the April 15 sentencing of NYPD officer Peter Liang. Peter Liang is the first NYPD officer to be convicted of killing an unarmed Black man. Many in the Asian-American community believe he is being scapegoated for other police officers' killings of Black civilians. Join us for a discussion centered around the idea of Black and Asian-American relationships. Why is there a rift between the two communities? What can we do to resolve this tension and bring the two communities together in the fight against racism?

Join PAAGSA and the Grad Center at Philadelphia Chamber Music Society's presentation of violinist Soovin Kim on December 1 at 8:00pm! Discounted tickets are available at the Grad Center front desk for only $5 (limit 2 per PennCard).
A PCMS favorite as a recitalist and as a member of the Johannes Quartet, Soovin Kim has been hailed for “superb” and “impassioned” performances (Berkshire Review) since capturing first prize at the 1996 Paganini International Violin Competition. His playing is fleet and dazzling in a pyrotechnic sense yet also rich with feeling—much like that of frequent collaborator Ieva Jokubavicute, who promises to contribute “razor-sharp intelligence and wit” (Washington Post) to this intimate all-Beethoven recital.
