Paddington Gets in a Jam

In this original slapstick comedy, the loveable Paddington goes next door to borrow a cup of sugar from his neighbor Mr. Curry, who is in a panic because he’s expecting a visit from his Great Aunt Matilda. Paddington volunteers to help Mr. Curry with his to-do list before her imminent arrival. Throughout the afternoon, Paddington attempts items on the list—repair the pipes in the bathroom, vacuum the floors, install new wallpaper, bake a cake—but in typical Paddington fashion nothing goes to plan!

Wu Fei: Hello Gold Mountain

Wu Fei is a renowned master of the guzheng, the 21-string Chinese zither, an instrument dating back 2,500 years. This original composition is performed by members of the Lehigh University Philharmonic conducted by Professor Paul Salerni, featuring Wu Fei on guzheng and Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz on oud — the traditional Chinese and Jewish plucked string instruments respectively. The work is inspired by real stories of Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai from Europe before and during World War II, and built lives in China.
