The Refugee Ocean
2023-11-16 19:00 - 20:30
Come and join friends around the world as we meet online for the monthly St. Paul’s Book Club! November’s book is The Refugee Ocean by Pauls Toutonghi.
Two refugees find that their lives are inextricably linked—over time and distance—by the perils of history and a single haunting piece of music.
Born in Beirut in 1922, Marguerite Toutoungi lives a life of loss and sacrifice. She dreams of traveling to Europe and studying music at the Conservatoire de Paris but her family—and her society—hold her back. When she meets the son of a Cuban tobacco farmer at a formal dance, love transforms her life. Together with him, she flees across the Pacific Ocean. She’s hoping for a new beginning. Instead, she finds revolution and chaos.
Over fifty years later, Naïm Rahil is a teenage refugee from Aleppo, Syria. A former piano prodigy who struggles to thrive in America—and who has lost part of his hand in the war—he dreams of a simple, normal life.
Moving from Aleppo on the brink of civil war, to Lebanon in the late 1940s, to Havana during the Cuban Revolution, to the suburbs of Washington, DC, The Refugee Ocean grapples with what it means to be an immigrant, shows how wounds can heal, and highlights the role of music and art in the resilience of the human spirit.

La Traviata
2023-01-13 20:30 - 22:00
The opera “La Traviata,” created by Giuseppe Verdi, was first staged on March 6, 1853 at the Teatro La Fenice opera house in Venice… and it was a total disaster! Nowadays, La Traviata is one of the most popular and most performed operas around the world.
You can experience La Traviata opera in Rome with the I Virtuosi dell’Opera di Roma orchestra. Giuseppe Verdi’s opera in Rome lets the audience take part in the tragic love story between Violetta Valery and Alfredo Germont.
The story is a taboo love in 1853 that comes alive once again, unleashing all its power through the performances of sopranos Carmela Maffongelli and Sabrina Testa (as Violetta) and tenors Domenico Tegliafilo and Adriano Gentili (as Alfredo).
