Film: "The Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992)
The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets, like Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and Fozzie Bear, weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits from Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways with the hope that the miserable old man will embrace the season of the heart and, in that particular time of caring, make his love last all year. GET TICKETS!

Lecture—"Rethinking Failure in the Early Nineteenth-Century Non-Modulating Sonata Exposition: A Lesson from Early Chopin"
Anne M. Hyland is senior lecturer in music analysis at the University of Manchester. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, focusing on the function of repetition in Schubert’s chamber music. Her 2023 book, Schubert’s String Quartets: The Teleology of Lyric Form (CUP), explores innovative ways that Schubert’s music integrates lyricism with sonata form. Her research also engages the music of Hummel, Onslow, and Chopin as part of a British Academy/Leverhulme-supported project and a Collaborative Strategic Partnership with the University of Toronto. Prof. Hyland was awarded the Anthony Pople Mid-Career Research Award of the Society for Music Analysis in September 2024 and a Teaching Excellence Award at the University of Manchester (2024) for her efforts to make music analysis more accessible to a diverse student body.
