DESCRIPTION:THEATER PERFORMANCE:\nSchoenberg on Parnassus\n\nIn its American premiere, 
 London opera star Loré Lixenberg headlines a performance adaptation of 
 world-famous scientist, writer and art collector Carl Djerassi’s 
 genre-bending book Four Jews on Parnassus (Columbia University Press). In 
 the book, Djerassi investigates the world of pre-war Vienna by imagining 
 what four seminal Jewish thinkers of the twentieth century -- Arnold 
 Schoenberg, Walter Benjamin, Gershom Scholem and Theodor Adorno -- might 
 have said to one another about life, art, Jewish identity and even chess. 
 This stage-adapted version of the dialogues is a multi-media experience 
 featuring live performances of songs by Schoenberg, projections of the 
 paintings of Paul Klee and new photography by Gabrielle Seethaler. Versions 
 of Schoenberg on Parnassus have been staged throughout Europe, including at 
 Cambridge University, the Freud Museum and the Bayreuth Festival. Djerassi 
 is developing a unique presentation of it for its premiere at the 
 Contemporary Jewish Museum. This production is directed by Isabella Gregor 
 and produced by David Goldman.\n\nThe performance will be followed by a 
 conversation with Carl Djerassi and as well as a book signing with Carl 
 Djerassi. \nCo-sponsored by the Stanford Institute for Creativity in the 
 Arts and the National Center for New Plays at Stanford with support from 
 the Mechanics’ Institute Library & Chess Room.\n\nSunday, February 7,
