Join us for a wide-reaching, long-looking, spirit-warming conversation and mini-concert as we prepare for this strangest of holiday seasons. Paxson's perceptive thoughts about the world should shake us out of our 2020 torpor. And if the conversation doesn’t do it, her singing will! Paxson has launched her own series of solo concerts of music from the Second World War--sing-along, participatory events that she calls "The Bomb Shelter Café.” Maggie is also a performer with the Imperial Palms Orchestra, a 15-piece, 1930s-themed band based in Washington, D.C. Her interpretation of English, French and Russian songs from the 1930s-1950s will leave you convinced that art and scholarship belong together.
