In addition to Ms. Kokits' concert, the Austrian Embassy will be showcasing an exhibition called "CALLIOPE AUSTRIA: Women in Society, Culure and the Sciences." The exhibition is both a celebration of women in Austrian history and a reckoning with their invisibleness in the history books. CALLIOPE opens this evening and will then be available for general viewing from Monday, October 3 - Thursday, October 12.
