<p>Sophie Treadwell’s searing 1928 play, a landmark of American expressionism, is reborn in this striking new ballet. Machinal tells the story of a woman caught in the cold machinery of modern life: her body controlled, her voice ignored, her choices not her own. Through stylized choreography and haunting rhythms, this adaptation strips away dialogue to reveal the raw, physical truth of one woman’s rebellion. Stark, visceral, and fiercely contemporary, Machinal is a portrait of alienation — and a dance of defiance.</p>

<p>In collaboration with University of Rhode Island and co-adapter Rachel Walshe, Yury Yanowsky breathes new life into this theatrical masterwork.</p>

<p>Recommended for mature audiences. Casting is not guaranteed and is subject to change.</p>

<p>Sophie Treadwell’s searing 1928 play, a landmark of American expressionism, is reborn in this striking new ballet. Machinal tells the story of a woman caught in the cold machinery of modern life: her body controlled, her voice ignored, her choices not her own. Through stylized choreography and haunting rhythms, this adaptation strips away dialogue to reveal the raw, physical truth of one woman’s rebellion. Stark, visceral, and fiercely contemporary, Machinal is a portrait of alienation — and a dance of defiance.</p>

<p>In collaboration with University of Rhode Island and co-adapter Rachel Walshe, Yury Yanowsky breathes new life into this theatrical masterwork.</p>

<p>Recommended for mature audiences. Casting is not guaranteed and is subject to change.</p>

<p>Sophie Treadwell’s searing 1928 play, a landmark of American expressionism, is reborn in this striking new ballet. Machinal tells the story of a woman caught in the cold machinery of modern life: her body controlled, her voice ignored, her choices not her own. Through stylized choreography and haunting rhythms, this adaptation strips away dialogue to reveal the raw, physical truth of one woman’s rebellion. Stark, visceral, and fiercely contemporary, Machinal is a portrait of alienation — and a dance of defiance.</p>

<p>In collaboration with University of Rhode Island and co-adapter Rachel Walshe, Yury Yanowsky breathes new life into this theatrical masterwork.</p>

<p>Recommended for mature audiences. Casting is not guaranteed and is subject to change.</p>

National Science Foundation Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR) Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement Program (E-CORE RII) team is hosting virtual office hours to answer questions from researchers and research administrators in NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions, who intend to submit research proposals in response to the E-CORE RII solicitation (NSF 25-523). They are welcome to join this session to engage in Q&amp;A with EPSCoR program officers.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>E-CORE supports jurisdictions in building significant and sustainable research capacity and research infrastructure for targeted areas of focus, hereinafter referred to as “cores”, that underlie a jurisdiction's research ecosystem.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>E-CORE projects must be designed to support the sustainability of the research infrastructure cores beyond the award period with non-EPSCoR RII funds. Projects will also support the development and growth of new jurisdictional networks, and the leveraging of existing jurisdictional networks, to drive demonstrable and sustainable impacts.</p>

To attend this camp you must, in Fall 2026, be entering grades 9-12. Many coaches from New England area colleges of all Divisions will also be in attendance. Their expertise along with the knowledge of the University of Rhode Island's Football staff is making this a camp you DO NOT want to miss! This camp is designed to advance players’ position specific skills and athletic capabilities to complete their high school careers and beyond.  It is our goal to help each camper improve their football IQ and build the confidence needed to continue successfully on and off the field.  This special camp will be run by the University of Rhode Island Football coaching staff, as well as current players from URI.  The camp will instruct individual techniques and fundamentals for all position groups and provide opportunity to compete in 1 vs 1 drills. Come camp with the BACK2BACK CAA Champions!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Location and Parking: Camp will be located at the beautiful campus of The University of Rhode Island. The campus is located just 10 minutes from Narragansett Beach and 30 minutes from TF Green Airport in Providence. Parking will be available at 1 Lincoln Almond Plaza, Kingston, RI. Signs will be posted directing all players and family towards check-in and camp.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>What to Bring: Wear general work out attire to camp. General athletic shoes or football cleats work well on the grass and turf fields. Helmets will NOT be used.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Refreshments: There will be hydration stations set up on the field to keep campers hydrated throughout the day.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>NCAA Rules: NCAA rules prohibit payment of any camp expenses for prospective student-athletes by University of Rhode Island boosters. NCAA rules also prohibit free or reduced camp fees for prospective student-athletes. Our camp slots are filled on a first-come first served basis.</p>

S. National Science Foundation Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR) Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement Program (E-CORE RII) team is hosting virtual office hours to answer questions from researchers and research administrators in NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions, who intend to submit research proposals in response to the E-CORE RII solicitation (NSF 25-523). They are welcome to join this session to engage in Q&amp;A with EPSCoR program officers.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>E-CORE supports jurisdictions in building significant and sustainable research capacity and research infrastructure for targeted areas of focus, hereinafter referred to as “cores”, that underlie a jurisdiction's research ecosystem.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>E-CORE projects must be designed to support the sustainability of the research infrastructure cores beyond the award period with non-EPSCoR RII funds. Projects will also support the development and growth of new jurisdictional networks, and the leveraging of existing jurisdictional networks, to drive demonstrable and sustainable impacts.</p>

<p> </p>

To attend this camp you must, in Fall 2026, be entering grades 9-12. Many coaches from New England area colleges of all Divisions will also be in attendance. Their expertise along with the knowledge of the University of Rhode Island's Football staff is making this a camp you DO NOT want to miss! This camp is designed to advance players’ position specific skills and athletic capabilities to complete their high school careers and beyond.  It is our goal to help each camper improve their football IQ and build the confidence needed to continue successfully on and off the field.  This special camp will be run by the University of Rhode Island Football coaching staff, as well as current players from URI.  The camp will instruct individual techniques and fundamentals for all position groups and provide opportunity to compete in 1 vs 1 drills. Come camp with the BACK2BACK CAA Champions!</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Location and Parking: Camp will be located at the beautiful campus of The University of Rhode Island. The campus is located just 10 minutes from Narragansett Beach and 30 minutes from TF Green Airport in Providence. Parking will be available at 1 Lincoln Almond Plaza, Kingston, RI. Signs will be posted directing all players and family towards check-in and camp.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>What to Bring: Wear general work out attire to camp. General athletic shoes or football cleats work well on the grass and turf fields. Helmets will NOT be used.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Refreshments: There will be hydration stations set up on the field to keep campers hydrated throughout the day.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>NCAA Rules: NCAA rules prohibit payment of any camp expenses for prospective student-athletes by University of Rhode Island boosters. NCAA rules also prohibit free or reduced camp fees for prospective student-athletes. Our camp slots are filled on a first-come first served basis.</p>

S. National Science Foundation Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR) Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement Program (E-CORE RII) team is hosting virtual office hours to answer questions from researchers and research administrators in NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions, who intend to submit research proposals in response to the E-CORE RII solicitation (NSF 25-523). They are welcome to join this session to engage in Q&amp;A with EPSCoR program officers.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>E-CORE supports jurisdictions in building significant and sustainable research capacity and research infrastructure for targeted areas of focus, hereinafter referred to as “cores”, that underlie a jurisdiction's research ecosystem.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>E-CORE projects must be designed to support the sustainability of the research infrastructure cores beyond the award period with non-EPSCoR RII funds. Projects will also support the development and growth of new jurisdictional networks, and the leveraging of existing jurisdictional networks, to drive demonstrable and sustainable impacts.</p>

S. National Science Foundation Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR) Collaborations for Optimizing Research Ecosystems Research Infrastructure Improvement Program (E-CORE RII) team is hosting virtual office hours to answer questions from researchers and research administrators in NSF EPSCoR jurisdictions, who intend to submit research proposals in response to the E-CORE RII solicitation (NSF 25-523). They are welcome to join this session to engage in Q&amp;A with EPSCoR program officers.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>E-CORE supports jurisdictions in building significant and sustainable research capacity and research infrastructure for targeted areas of focus, hereinafter referred to as “cores”, that underlie a jurisdiction's research ecosystem.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>E-CORE projects must be designed to support the sustainability of the research infrastructure cores beyond the award period with non-EPSCoR RII funds. Projects will also support the development and growth of new jurisdictional networks, and the leveraging of existing jurisdictional networks, to drive demonstrable and sustainable impacts.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Register for this and subsequent office hours!</p>

We celebrate the 50th anniversary of Britten’s death within the broader context of America’s 250th anniversary – two milestones that invite reflection on legacy, continuity and reinvention. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The program opens with Britten’s arrangement of Purcell’s Chaconne, a tribute by one english composer to another across 250 years. Britten admired Purcell as the father of English music and reimagined his works with modern harmonic color and expressive clarity. Then the program followed by Britten’s own string quartet no.2 which was written in 1945 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Purcell’s death. His cello sonata composed during the Cold War, an intimate collaboration with Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, speaks to communication across borders and artistic friendship beyond politics – resonating with the broader ideals of connection and liberty that mark America’s 250th celebration. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>It’s impossible not to program Britten’s music without Mozart’s presence in a concert. Britten once called Mozart “the greatest genius of all musicians” and admired his “purity of style”. This influenced Britten’s own meticulous craftsmanship: his textures are transparent, counterpoint is clean, and even his most complex music never feels cluttered. </p>

Carlos Simon’s work in a contemporary American context. His music often explores the meeting points between the sacred and the secular, the classical and the everyday language. Same as Dvorak’s music which constantly negotiates between the cultivated “classical” world and the raw vitality of the folk traditions that inspired him. And that brings us to the highlight of the evening– first collaboration between Olympic swimmer and violinist Elizabeth Beisel and the Kingston Chamber Music Festival. She will be working with Zachary DePue, who also blends bluegrass and classical music with elements of jazz, blue, and rock. </p>

This new program is called Nightingale's Encores, Thomas Wolf recounts fascinating and amusing stories involving his multi-generational musical family. Stretching from the Jewish ghetto on the Black Sea to the palaces of European royalty to Carnegie Hall and the White House and beyond, each story is accompanied by a short musical encore that family members helped make famous. And these encore selections were frequently performed by his family members and relatives, both at home and concert halls. This program will give each of our KCMF guest artists the opportunity to perform an encore piece, which will be the first all-encores programming in our festival history.</p>

<p>**Pre-concert Panel discussion: The Great Musical Melting Pot: How America Became Preeminent in Classical Music </p>

<p> </p>

<p>During the early decades of the 20th century, the United States looked to the great cities of Europe for great music and musicians. Legendary soloists were from there, the best orchestras and opera companies were there, the most important composers were working there. Desired pedagogues could be found there in the conservatories in Paris, Moscow, Berlin, and many other European cities. </p>

<p>But forces and events well beyond the music would transform the United States from an envious consumer of European music and musicians to the preeminent musical leader that it is today. What were these events and forces and who are some of the individuals – not only from Europe but from Asia–who made this transformation possible? </p>

Through this program, NSF fosters partnerships among academic institutions, government entities, industry, and non-profits. These collaborations aim to drive long-term improvements in research infrastructure, enhance R&amp;D capacity, and boost the research competitiveness of eligible EPSCoR jurisdictions, including states, territories, and commonwealths. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>A jurisdiction’s research ecosystem is the interconnected network of institutions, organizations, researchers, trainees, community stakeholders, and resources that contribute to the process of research and innovation that advances fundamental knowledge, generates use-inspired products, and ultimately cultivates beneficial societal impacts for a jurisdiction. E-RISE supports hypothesis-driven or problem-driven research and fosters the development of research teams and products in a scientific topical area that aligns with a jurisdiction’s research ecosystem and priorities, as detailed in the jurisdiction’s Science and Technology (S&amp;T) Plan or drawn from other jurisdiction plans, reports, or publications prepared by appropriate authorities or bodies.</p>

<p> </p>

<p> E-RISE invites innovative proposals within the chosen research area that will lead to development and implementation of sustainable broad networks of individuals, institutions, and organizations, and that will transform the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research capacity and competitiveness in a jurisdiction. E-RISE is particularly interested in proposals that justify exploring emerging or interdisciplinary research areas with high potential impact.</p>

A good fall cleanup provides multiple benefits for gardeners – it reduces weed populations and disease, minimizes plant insect pests, prevents rodent infestation, and eases the workload for next year’s spring planting. </p>
