exhibition God Made My Face: A collective portrait of Baldwin at the David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea. And we have

opera composer Andrea Clearfield on her new opera Mila, the Great Sorcerer. Clearfield tells the tale of a Buddhist

priest and his transformation from a violent past to peace and enlightenment.
