 Caleb Hawley is a Harlem based, Minneapolis-raised singer, songwriter, and producer who has been shoveling Gobstoppers into ears for the past decade. Combining catchy melodies with dark and satirical lyrics, one has to be careful not to slip while dancing in a puddle of their own tears. Popdust proclaims “Caleb Hawley is the pop star pop music has done nothing to deserve, but desperately needs. The production of every song is attention grabbing, bringing the listener on a rollercoaster of 80's vibes and surprising emotional layers.” There was a time when Caleb hated being mistaken as his mother when answering the land-line, but it worked out for him in the end, setting him apart with his high, androgynous vocals. Hawley’s music is elevated by stellar, out-of-the-box live performances (he’s played over a thousand), backed by a slew of reviews noting his onstage charisma. He forms authentic connections with an air of openness, soulful singalongs and untethered guitar work drawing comparisons from Prince to Robin Williams.

 Oratorio by George Frideric Handel. 200 min (with intermission). Libretto by Benedetto Pamphili. Music Director and Conductor: Philipp Chizhevsky. Stage Director: Konstantin Bogomolov. Sung in Italian. "Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno" occupies a special place among Handel’s oratorios. It is the first, and already perfect in all details, oratorio of the 22-year-old composer. And it will become the last one. Half a century later, in 1757, blind Handel dictated to his disciple John Christopher Smith a new version of this oratorio renamed The Triumph of Time and Truth, with participation of choir and addition of fragments from some of his early works. The libretto of "Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno" was written by Cardinal Benedetto Pamphili, a theologian, philosopher and poet, one of the Roman patrons of Handel. Beauty, Pleasure, Disillusion and Time are personified in his text.
