St. Augustine taught that dogs cannot go to heaven since they are soulless creatures due to their inability to comprehend the Beatific Face of God. He may have been surprised to learn that in Medieval France, the people of Lyon not only believed dogs could go to heaven but elevated one to sainthood. Librarian and printmaker Todd White tells the story of the rise of the folk saint Guinefort and his fall at the hands of the Inquisition, and documents the thought process and the hand process of creating a limited edition linoleum print to honor the “holy greyhound” of legend.

Join us for the Minnesota premiere of The Brontë Sisters: Retrospection – an Art Song-Play by Vicki Fingalson, soprano/playwright and Wendy Durrwachter, piano/composer. The work chronicles the life of three literary trailblazing sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë. Their boundless influence is still being lauded and studied, but perhaps less is known about their remarkable lives and poetry, and these two elements are brought to life in this dramatic piece performed by its creators.
