Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library

10/19/2026

Get ready to be inspired by the extraordinary talents of Cristiana Pegoraro as she brings her uplifting performance to Indianapolis as a sneak peek into her highly anticipated return to the iconic Carnegie Hall!

Internationally acclaimed pianist, composer and storyteller Cristiana Pegoraro honors America250 and Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library’s Year of Love with an intimate and passionate musical journey. From the baroque splendor of Vivaldi to the timeless notes of Yankee Doodle, through Italian opera, classical masterpieces, and beloved American melodies in Pegoraro's own virtuosic transcriptions, this concert tells a story of love between two worlds. Italian lyricism meets the American spirit in a program that celebrates 250 years of American dreams through the heart of an Italian artist.

A dear friend of Kurt Vonnegut and the museum has passed away. We remember Sidney Offit fondly, and hope that there is plenty of tennis (and table tennis) in heaven.

He was the author of more than a dozen books. “He knew every writer in New York,” Robert A. Caro said.

Howdy Folks, due to unforeseen circumstances, tonight’s discussion on Kurt Vonnegut’s short story “D. P.” will be moved into Friday’s discussion. We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to see you on Friday for our final Banned Books Week discussion.
