On January 9, 2025 world-renowned baritone Justin Austin reprised a program titled "Don't Be Angry!," which he debuted at Carnegie Hall in March 2024. He curated an arrangement of songs in response to the often-heard phrase “Don’t Be Angry!,” highlighting irony, dissidence and rage. It includes music by Kurt Weill (Threepenny Opera), Olaf Bienert, Ricky Ian Gordon, and Robert Owens, and poems by Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Tucholsky, Walt Whitman, and Langston Hughes among others.

Austin discusses the captivating program and the accompanying exhibition on view in the Teaching Gallery that explores artists’ responses to social inequities, including war, political corruption, class struggle, and racism.
