Music From Earth with Russ Kaplan and the Pale Blue Dot | Live on the Cosmic Stage

In 1977, aboard the Voyager space probe, humans sent a message of hope and good will into space for whoever might find it… a golden record album containing music from across the globe.

With an 8-piece ensemble comprised of only the most universal instruments — voices and percussion — Kaplan and his musicians present stirring and innovative new arrangements of highlights from the Golden Record, as well as original pieces created with multicultural collaborators.

Homefront: Childhood Memories of WWII author reading

When Peggy Trojan was seventy-seven years old, she took a poetry class for seniors. One assignment was “A day I will never forget.” She wrote about the day when World War II ended, and it became her first published poem. Now ninety-three years old, she has continued to write poetry and is the award-winning author of two full collections and eight chapbooks. She will share her personal memories of World War II as an eight-to-twelve-year-old child in Brule, Wisconsin, and will read poetry from her first chapbook, Homefront. The Richard I. Bong Veterans Historical Center welcomes local author Peggy Trojan to speak on Thursday, March 12th, from 6:30-7:30 PM. The talk is part of the Bong museum’s “Voices of Service & History” monthly speaker program. On the second Thursday of each month, the museum welcomes expert speakers on a wide variety of military- and history-related topics.
