    Lecture Series to Feature Artist Performances and Insights to Their Work

    The public is invited to explore the creative process and personal approach to artistic growth in a series of five exciting lecture evenings featuring nine 2008 Djerassi Program resident artists. Participating artists represent a wide range of artistic expression and will perform and speak about their work. Each program will conclude with a Q & A session with the featured artist(s).

    Oxygen — A New Opera

    The series kicks-off on Thursday, April 3, 2008, 7:00pm with Djerassi Program Founder, playwright and Stanford Professor Emeritus Dr. Carl Djerassi (San Francisco/London), in a multimedia presentation with three internationally recognized artists who are collaborating with him on a new opera based on his play “Oxygen,” co-authored with Dr. Roald Hoffman (Cornell University, NY), a poet and Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. Austrian composer Dr. Wolfgang Mastnak, Chair at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Münich, and Austrian writer/director Isabella Gregor, who trained as a director at the Opera House in Zurich, Switzerland, will join them on the program, which will include live music and video.
