Sarasota Institute of Lifetime Learning Presents: “Global Issues” and “Music Mondays”

By  | 

February 1, 2021 – Sarasota

SILL launched its 50th season in January with two series. Its hard-hitting “Global Issues” series features acclaimed experts exploring topical issues. Its “Music Mondays” series features performances and lively conversations with renowned and emerging performers and conductors. Before the pandemic, both series were offered in Sarasota, Venice, Lakewood Ranch and Longboat Key. This year, they are being offered free of charge on a virtual platform. “Global Issues” are on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m.; “Music Mondays” are on Mondays at 10:30 a.m.  Registration for both series is required at www.sillsarasota.org. 

According to Beth Cotner, SILL’s president, the response to SILL’s 2021 season has been record-breaking. “We’re used to having mostly sold-out lectures when we offered our series in-person,” she says. “This included 800-plus audience members at some of our larger venues. We didn’t know how audiences would respond to virtual presentations. As it turns out, we attracted nearly 4,000 registrants in the first two weeks, and that number is growing every week.” She adds that, in SILL’s 50-year history, the organization has presented more than 2,300 lectures and events.
