24/7 family time got you missing Zoom yet? If so, we're here to provide you with the perfect excuse to escape into cyberspace.

Cozy up with us from the comfort of your couch for a watch party and discussion of the Oscar-bait film TÁR.

TÁR is a 2022 psychological drama starring Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tár, a renowned composer-conductor. The subject of the film: her life and downfall.

Our musicians have LOTS of thoughts on how accurately (or not) the film portrayed both the psychology of classical musicians and classical music culture in general. This is an opportunity to share your own thoughts -- and ask us anything. Examples:

• "are all conductors that crazy?"

• "would something like that really ever happen at Juilliard, or in any educational setting?"

• "is that how artists 'get the gig' in the real world?"

• "how has #metoo played out, and how does it continue to play out, in the field of classical music?"

We are prepared to share war stories!
