Item Description
You and two guests will enjoy lunch* with Dr. Christopher Brellochs, Dean of the School of Music, at The Nest. Learn about Dr. Brellochs' experience as a consultant and researcher for The Gilded Age episode entitled A Long Ladder, and what it was like to be on screen portraying American composer and conductor John Knowles Paine, in scenes filmed in the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall.
"The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of great conflict between the old ways and brand new systems, and of huge fortunes made and lost. Against the backdrop of this transformation, HBO's The Gilded Age begins in 1882 with young Marian Brook moving from rural Pennsylvania to New York City after the death of her father to live with her thoroughly old-money aunts, Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook.
Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an aspiring writer seeking a fresh start, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old-money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell. Exposed to a world on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?"
