About the Philomaethean Society:

The Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania is a collegiate literary society, the oldest student group at the university, and a claimant to the title of the oldest continuously-existing literary society in the United States. Founded in 1813, its goal is “to promote the learning of its members and to increase the academic prestige of the University.” Philomathean is derived from the Greek philomath, which means “a lover of learning.” The motto of the Philomathean Society is sic itur ad astra (Latin for “thus we proceed to the stars”).

The University of Pennsylvania is one of the oldest universities in America and, as a member of the Ivy League, one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in all the world.

H E I D I L E E in the NEW YORK TIMES STYLE Section about her collaboration with Sugar Vendil’s Nouveau Classical Project
March 28, 2013

Connecting with the Classical » “But the Black Concert that she and Nouveau Classical presented at Le Poisson Rouge on Valentine’s Day 2011 was pretty sexy. The music was Britten, Schubert, Hugo Wolf and Shostakovich and Mr. Gureckis’s, with costuming by H E I D I L E E, the art milliner known for her cerebral, semiotics-sprouting hats and headpieces. Beneath their headgear, the performers, tightly clad in black lace over nude body stockings, looked like black valentines, which Ms. Lee said reinforced “the music’s themes of death, melancholy and darkness.

Last spring Nouveau Classical and Ms. Lee teamed up again, on “Wearing the Lost Generation, a Musical Sartorial Salon,” part of the monthlong celebration of Gertrude Stein at Symphony Space. “Sugar’s work gives resonance to my pieces,” Ms. Lee said, “it gives them a narrative.” She also admires Ms. Vendil’s desire to startle traditional audiences for classical music and use fashion to bring in new ones. “I feel like the kind of music her group plays is underrated. It’s important not just to look at the zeitgeist of now. Sugar’s choices trigger parts of your brain that music of this day doesn’t.” -Celia McGee.
