UNL's Narboni Has 'Piano in Tow,' Takes Classical Music on Tour
From Paris to New York, from Prague to Chicago, classical pianist Nicole Narboni has performed in some of the most prestigious venues on the globe. Later this month, she'll be adding Nebraska towns like Bridgeport, Lewellen and Morrill to the list.
Narboni, a senior lecturer in piano at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln School of Music, is spending part of March on the road. She's loading up her Yamaha C7 grand piano from her studio on campus and heading west. Over five days, she'll tote her piano nearly a thousand miles, deep into the Nebraska panhandle and back, all the while performing for and discussing classical music with students and residents. Her tour, known as "Piano-in-Tow," is Narboni's one-woman effort to bring classical music to rural areas of the state. more....

Botelho Presents Honors Program Lecture
The Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program in association with the Department of History, the Women's and Gender Studies Program, the Medicine and Humanities Program, and the Honors Program welcomes Lynn Botelho from Indiana University of Pennsylvania on Monday March 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Auditorium. She will present a lecture titled "Old Age and the Disappearing Woman: The Medically Male Composition of Aging Women."
Botelho was educated at the University of Oregon, and the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford. Her talk explores the world of the ageing female body. Drawing upon dozens of manuscript medical guides and recipe books both written and used by women, Botelho tests the classical, learned, and masculine understanding of the aged female body as something that became "male" with advancing age. She discovers on even the most practical level of bodily care - of women, by women - that this male-centric understanding of women's physical conditions continued to hold true.
