Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph. D., Senior Fellow at The Child Trauma Academy will speak as the Child Development Institute’s Longfellow Lecturer. In his clinical research and practice, Dr. Perry focuses on high-risk children examining long-term cognitive, behavioral, emotional, social, and physiological effects of neglect and trauma in children and adults, with the goal of promoting positive change within institutions such as child protective services, mental health, public education and juvenile justice. This work has been very helpful in explaining how traumatic experiences during childhood can change the biology of the brain, which affects the overall health of the child.Dr. Perry co-authored a book with Maia Szalavitz, called, The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us about Loss, Love and Healing. He has authored over 300 journal articles, book chapters and scientific proceedings, and has received a number of awards including the T. Berry Brazelton Infant Mental Health Advocacy Award, the Award for Leadership in Public Child Welfare and the Alberta Centennial Medal. For information, please contact College Events (914) 395-2412.

Two Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation Documentaries:
Dr. Price’s Search For Health
This documentary surveys the research of Dr. Weston A. Price, DDS, and reveals the effect of diet on native peoples around the world, showing that dental cavities, misalignment of teeth, increased susceptibility to disease and physical and mental degeneration are largely attributable to modern processed foods. Though produced thirty years ago, the message of the film remains timeless and the nutritional and health information is surprisingly relevant to today’s health conscious consumer. runtime: 27 minutes
Pottenger Cat Studies
A historical documentary surveying the 10-year nutrition studies conducted by Francis M. Pottenger, Jr., MD, on more than 900 cats. It reveals that a cooked meat and pasteurized milk diet led to the progressive degeneration of the animals. Comparison of healthy cats on raw foods with those on heated diets is made, with mention of parallel findings among humans in Dr. Weston A. Price’s worldwide studies. Arthritis, sterility, skeletal deformities, allergies and behavioral abnormalities are some of the problems that were associated with the consumption of a diet of cooked foods. Run-time: 16 minutes.
In recent months, there has been considerable public discussion about disruptive effects of global warming on agriculture, business and flooding – and how mitigating these problems will require changes in energy production, transportation systems and agricultural practices. But what effects is global warming having on Mother Nature? Join Executive Director Dr. Fred Koontz to learn how our local fauna and flora already is responding to rising temperatures, and what we can do today to help nature survive this environmental challenge. Pre-registration required. Free. Adults.

Sarah Lawrence College Concert (7:00PM) CONCERT Gospel Music: From Religious Music to Pop Culture – A Musical JourneyFriday, April 47 p.m. – 9 p.m.Reisinger Concert Hall FREE
Vankenn Productions will present a concert of gospel songs that will take the audience through the evolution of gospel music in the United States. According to Sarah Lawrence College alumna Vandalyn Kennedy, “Gospel music has developed as a unique American art form, deeply rooted in the spiritual and social plight of African-Americans.Birthed out of musical traditions of a people in transition from Africa to America, this once church bound music can now be heard in the finest concert halls in the country.” American gospel music, a genre of its own, having originated in rural churches has expanded from traditional to hip-hop gospel, from religious to popular culture. A large variety of songs will be performed by soloists and a gospel choir. For more information please call (914) 395-2412.

A concerto for percussion and orchestra, Kaminsky’s workexplores the sonic world of three different percussion families (skins, metals, and mallets), giving the Westchester Philharmonic’s immensely talented percussion section a long-overdue chance to shine. Written as an outcry against the destruction of our planet, Terra Terribilis, like much of Kaminsky’s work, is influenced by the vast physical and cultural environments she has experienced in her travels as an artist, and she is committed to exploring how “artists can be a part of the dialogue around critical concerns facing our world.” Kaminsky will speak in detail about the premiere at free pre-concert discussions for ticket holders.

Kwak later made her Lincoln Center debut at the Avery Fisher Hall with American Symphony Orchestra at the age of nine.
Befitting the orchestra’s season-long 25th anniversary celebration, the program will also featureMozart’s expressive Symphony No. 25, perhaps best known as the score for the opening sequence of the film Amadeus.
