Castle Village Community Room: Book Talk “Every Day Is Sunday” by Ken Belson
Ever Wonder How Football Became Our Favorite Sport?
Ken Belson, veteran New York Times reporter and CV resident, will discuss his new book “Every Day Is Sunday”, on Sunday, November 9, at 4:00 PM in the Community Room. “Every Day Is Sunday” is an in-depth look at the business of pro football. Specifically, Ken hones in on the fascinating roster of characters who have made the NFL the economic and cultural super power it is. With annual revenues of $23 billion, the NFL’s revenues are comparable to those of Fortune 500 companies like Colgate-Palmolive and Goodyear Tires.
In an expansive and favorable review of “Every Day Is Sunday”, the New York Times summed it up by saying
“His unique access and firm grasp of football culture have produced “Every Day is Sunday”, a polished, entertaining account of what he aptly calls “an immensely profitable American religion.”
Mary Darcy, CV resident, WMHT and nationally syndicated radio host, will moderate. Please join us:

MainStage Concert: WHCO – The Music That Inspires Us
Composers often find inspiration from other music, drawing from history, tradition, and artistic lineage. The Music That Inspires Us begins with Reena Esmail’s Avartan, a transcendent fusion of Indian and Western classical traditions. Next on the program is Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte for string orchestra. Written in 2011, the piece was inspired by a moment in a Haydn string quartet where the music suddenly shifts in tone and texture. Shaw describes Entr’acte as “taking you to the other side of Alice’s looking glass,” a kind of musical portal that begins in a classical idiom and gradually distorts it. We will conclude the program with Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite. Taken from his ballet on the Italian commedia dell’arte character, the Pulcinella Suite is a witty and colorful homage to 18th-century Italian Baroque music filtered through Stravinsky’s modernist lens.
Repertoire
- Reena Esmail: Avartan
- Caroline Shaw: Entr’acte
- Igor Stravinsky: Pulcinella Suite
This concert will be approximately 1hr, no intermission. Reception to follow.
