The Labor Café next meets on Friday, April 25, 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at the Geddes Hall Coffee House. The Labor Café convenes the Notre Dame community for casual conversation on contemporary questions about work, workers, and workplaces. What rights and protections should those who work for others have? What’s the proper role for government in the economy? How should we address enduring problems of inequality, poverty, and lack of opportunity? And what does Catholic social tradition have to say about these labor questions? Participants choose the concrete topics, all people are welcome, and all opinions are entertained. https://socialconcerns.nd.edu/event/labor-cafe-april-25-2025/

Department of Music The Notre Dame Symphony Orchestra and Glee Club come together to present Dmitri Shostakovich's monumental Symphony no. 13 "Babi Yar." Set to the searing poetry of Yevgeny Yevtuschenko, this work remains as timely and powerful today as when it was first heard in 1962. Glee Club alumnus Michael Holderer '03 will join the Symphony and Glee Club as bass soloist. The all-Russian program will also include the first movement of Tchaikovsky's masterful Violin Concerto, with NDSO Concerto Competition winner Maya Kvaratskhelia as soloist.
