SUMMARY:Music/Words LA: Curated by Inna Faliks
DESCRIPTION:The third installment of the popular Music/Words LA at the Wende once again brings together music and poetry. Curated by pianist Inna Faliks\, this performance features violinist Varty Manouelian\, cellist Ben Hong\, and poet Michelle Bitting in a live exchange between sound and language. \nThis program centers on works by Valentin Silvestrov and Dmitri Shostakovich. Both composers worked under the pressures of Soviet cultural control\, developing musical languages that move between lyricism and unease. Performance of these compositions will unfold alongside readings by Bitting\, creating a dialogue that shifts between voice and instrument\, text and tone. \nOriginally founded by Faliks in New York\, Music/Words has evolved into a platform for artists working at the intersection of music and text. This Los Angeles residency at the Wende builds each program around close listening\, live collaboration\, and the changing balance between composition and language. \nInna Faliks is Head of Piano and Professor of Piano at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and author of Weight in the Fingertips: A Musical Odyssey from Soviet Ukraine to the World Stage. \nVarty Manouelian is a violinist and educator. He is a Lecturer of Violin at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music\, teaches violin and chamber music at the Colburn Academy and the Crowden School Preparatory Academy\, and coaches chamber music at the Apple Hill Festival in New Hampshire. \nBen Hong is a cellist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, where he has performed for over 30 years. He is active as a chamber musician and educator\, with regular appearances at Walt Disney Concert Hall and collaborations across Southern California. \nMichelle Bitting is a poet and essayist whose collections include Notes to the Beloved and Broken Kingdom. Her work appears widely in literary journals\, and her readings emphasize the sonic and performative dimensions of language. \nSpecial thanks to Yamaha Artist Services. \nAs this event takes place during museum open hours\, guests may check in at the front of the museum. The garden side gate will open 30 minutes before the start time and is available for ADA access and check-in. Theater doors open 15 minutes before the start time. Seating is first come\, first served. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry.

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindfulness Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditations. Whether you are new to meditation or already have experience we welcome you to this community sit in the beautiful A-Frame Theater of the Wende Museum’s Glorya Kaufman Community Center \nYou do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. Each session is followed by complimentary garden refreshments and an optional movement class. \nWhat is mindfulness? Mindfulness is being fully present to your life instead of being on autopilot. Our mind tends to rehash the past and to rehearse the future. There is nothing wrong with that except that it does it too much and it keeps us from being with what is actually happening right in this moment. We can feel like life is passing us by and we miss a lot of good moments with family and friends\, in nature and just throughout the day. When we are present we become better listeners and observers and will make better choices\, big and small. People who regularly practice mindfulness meditation report overall stress levels going down and being able to deal with whatever comes their way in a better\, healthier way. They also feel more connected and more joyful. \nWe practice this through mindfulness meditation where we train the mind to stay with an anchor\, like the sensations of the breath. Eventually the mind will calm down and so will the body. We learn tools to be with a busy mind\, challenging emotions\, and even physical pain. We can access peace\, calm and joy that arises independently of what’s going on in our lives at this time. \nTeacher Bio: \nChristiane Wolf is an internationally known mindfulness and Insight (Vipassana) meditation teacher. Originally from Berlin\, Germany\, she is a longtime proud resident of Culver City where her three children attended (or still attend) CCMS and CCHS. \nChristiane was trained as an OB/GYN in Germany but pivoted to not only practicing mindfulness meditation but then teaching it\, mainly through InsightLA. \nShe was trained and mentored by Trudy Goodman\, Jack Kornfield\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, Gil Fronsdal and others. \nChristiane is the author of Outsmart Your Pain – Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind and the coauthor of A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness\, a classic training manual for mindfulness teachers. \nCheck www.christianewolf.com for more info. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first serve. Please arrive early as RSVP does not guarantee admission to this free program.

SUMMARY:The Future of History: Have We Reached the End of History Again?
DESCRIPTION:Introducing a new multi-part series on “The Future of History\,” co-presented by the Wende Museum and the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. \nThis panel revisits the conclusion of political scientist Francis Fukuyama in his 1992 book The End of History and the Last Man\, that we have reached “the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government.” Today\, we are forced to ask whether the rise of illiberal authoritarianism marks a new end of history. \nHow should we think about the next phase of history? As part of an unfolding journey into the future\, or as the beginning of the end? \nMiloš Jovanović is Assistant Professor of History at UCLA. His first book\, Cities of Dust and Mud: Urbanism and Bourgeois Fantasy in the Balkans (Stanford University Press\, 2026)\, explores the social costs of elite-led urban change. His new research project\, Spaces of Empire: The Habsburg World and its Afterlives\, examines the diverse trajectories of urban spaces after imperial collapse. \nDavid N. Myers is Distinguished Professor of History and holds the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA. He is the founding director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. He also directs the UCLA Initiative to Study Hate\, the UCLA Dialogue Across Difference Initiative\, and the UCLA Bedari Kindness Institute. He is the author or editor of more than fifteen books\, including American Shtetl (winner of the 2022 National Jewish Book Award). \nNatasha Piano is Assistant Professor of Political Theory in the Department of Political Science at UCLA. She specializes in democratic theory and the history of political thought\, focusing on realist and empirical traditions in political science and Italian political theory. Her book\, Democratic Elitism: The Founding Myth of American Political Science (Harvard University Press\, 2025)\, examines how misinterpretations of elite theory shaped American political systems. \nTerry Tang is Executive Editor of the Los Angeles Times. Appointed in 2024\, she is the first female editor in the paper’s history. Before joining the Los Angeles Times in 2019\, she served as director of publications and editorial at the American Civil Liberties Union and held multiple editorial roles at The New York Times. She holds a BA from Yale and a JD from New York University School of Law. \nAs the Wende’s galleries will be open during this program\, you may enter through the front doors of the museum. Theater doors open 15 minutes before the start time. Seating is first come\, first served. An RSVP does not guarantee admission once capacity is reached. No late entry. \n

SUMMARY:Wellness Wednesday: Mindfulness Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly mindfulness meditations. Whether you are new to meditation or already have experience we welcome you to this community sit in the beautiful A-Frame Theater of the Wende Museum’s Glorya Kaufman Community Center \nYou do not have to join all sessions but can join as your schedule allows. Each session is followed by complimentary garden refreshments and an optional movement class. \nWhat is mindfulness? Mindfulness is being fully present to your life instead of being on autopilot. Our mind tends to rehash the past and to rehearse the future. There is nothing wrong with that except that it does it too much and it keeps us from being with what is actually happening right in this moment. We can feel like life is passing us by and we miss a lot of good moments with family and friends\, in nature and just throughout the day. When we are present we become better listeners and observers and will make better choices\, big and small. People who regularly practice mindfulness meditation report overall stress levels going down and being able to deal with whatever comes their way in a better\, healthier way. They also feel more connected and more joyful. \nWe practice this through mindfulness meditation where we train the mind to stay with an anchor\, like the sensations of the breath. Eventually the mind will calm down and so will the body. We learn tools to be with a busy mind\, challenging emotions\, and even physical pain. We can access peace\, calm and joy that arises independently of what’s going on in our lives at this time. \nTeacher Bio: \nChristiane Wolf is an internationally known mindfulness and Insight (Vipassana) meditation teacher. Originally from Berlin\, Germany\, she is a longtime proud resident of Culver City where her three children attended (or still attend) CCMS and CCHS. \nChristiane was trained as an OB/GYN in Germany but pivoted to not only practicing mindfulness meditation but then teaching it\, mainly through InsightLA. \nShe was trained and mentored by Trudy Goodman\, Jack Kornfield\, Jon Kabat-Zinn\, Gil Fronsdal and others. \nChristiane is the author of Outsmart Your Pain – Mindfulness and Self-Compassion to Help You Leave Chronic Pain Behind and the coauthor of A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness\, a classic training manual for mindfulness teachers. \nCheck www.christianewolf.com for more info. \nAn ADA-accessible entrance to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the gate from the parking lot at 10858 Culver Blvd. Limited floor space is first come\, first serve.
