Launch Fishers set to move to larger facility

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com It was nearly three years ago that the endeavor to move Fishers forward as an entrepreneurial city was taken through the process city of establishing the co-working space known as Launch Fishers. Since it’s establishment, the city has seen entrepreneurial growth through its use. It is because of this success that on the April 20 city council meeting, council members made a motion to approve the purchase of a larger facility to expand the coworking space company.

Formerly the location of DECA Financial, the 52,00 square-foot building located on 12175 Visionary Way will be purchased for approximately $3.1 million with renovations at about $400,000.

The decision to expand comes from Launch’s tremendous past success. Since it’s establishment in 2012, the company has achieved dozens of sponsoring companies, approximately 485 members and three companies having over $1 million in investments. This success has led Launch to outgrow its current location at the municipal library.

“Our (library) facility is no longer adequate for our needs,” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness said.

“Parking is truly a difficulty. We have a waitlist for dedicated space, so we literally have people who want to be a part of Fishers, who want to have their own dedicated space, to create their companies, but we just generally do not have enough room. We’ve got some real space challenges in the current location.”

The larger building would be able to support new members, while continuing to meet the needs of current members. The layout will be similar to the current facility, but on a larger scale to allow for the continued growth of members Launch has seen in the past.

The larger facility layout.

“You’ll walk in and see the Launch Fishers coffee shop, and from there a common area across the general co-working area, and a little bit north of that, multiple rooms that range from four-person clusters to eight to twelve-person rooms, so that as our companies grow we just can continue to move them around Launch Fishers and meet there needs,” Launch Fishers Founder John Wechsler said.

“We’ll also have an added conference space for special events and members that host meet-ups.”

Aside from the new building is the new involvement of Ball State University, which will partner with the city to incorporate its entrepreneurial programming into Launch.

“The idea is this: If there is an entrepreneur or outside business that has idea they’ve been kicking around that they would like some help, we partner our student with those entrepreneurs to co-develop

the idea, and so what the entrepreneur gets is free labor,” said Dr. Michael Goldsby, executive director and professor of entrepreneurship at BSU. “They get students basically working as interns for credit on their project. With that, our students get immersed in the real world with an actual start up.”

“We’re very excited about this partnership,” said Julie Halbig, vice president of government relations for BSU. “You can really feel the energy and growth in this community and we want to be a part of that and show our students what that looks like on a real world basis.”

The next step for the transition will be to develop a financing strategy for the acquisition of the property. On May 18 the council will review the financing plan. The acquisition is expected to be closed by the end of May.

Home sales up 8 percent Commentary by Jim Litten With 2,528 pended sales in March in Central Indiana, overall year-to-date home sales are up 7.7 percent comreal estate pared to this time period last year, according to statistics compiled by F.C. Tucker Company.

On a monthly basis, March 2015 pended home sales slipped 1.8 percent compared to March 2014, a decrease of 47 homes sold in the nine counties that F.C. Tucker tracks.

However, home sales prices are trending up.

In Hamilton County, year-to-date sale prices rose to $269,917, an increase of 4.4 percent from the same time period last year.

• In the Fishers/Geist market, home prices increased 2.1 percent to $253,602 in the first quarter compared to the first three months of last year.

• Of the pended home sales in the Fishers/Geist market last month, 14 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 43 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 56 were priced $200,000 to 299,999; 83 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and one was priced at $99,999 or less.

• The pace of home sales in the Fishers/ Geist area is steady, though faster than some comparable markets. In March 2015, homes sold in 77 days on average, which is on par with last year’s pace.

• The number of homes sold in the Fishers/ Geist market increased in March. Last month, 197 homes pended, an increase of 30 homes compared to March 2014.

• Inventory in the Fishers/Geist area remains stable. In March 2015, the number of homes for sale rose to 514 – a modest increase of 1.2 percent from March 2014.

As we move into the second quarter, we believe home sales will increase and prices will remain strong. Though March sales were a little sluggish, we still expect to see activity gradually pick up due, in part, to recent job growth and the start of the spring selling season.

Love and other awkward conversations

By Amy L. Stewart • news@geistcurrent.com

By day, I am a divorce lawyer. By night (and in truth, during most of the day, too), I wonder how we can create more relationships love and meaning in the world, beginning with our own lives. Naturally, my attention often is focused on marriage and divorce, and I often am asked why divorce happens. Many things are a mystery to me, but that one I think I can answer. Divorce happens (along with countless other destructive and dysfunctional effects), because we don’t know how to have healthy, loving relationships.

Consider the last time someone told you they were engaged. How did you react? What questions did you ask? Were they about the wedding date, the venue, the dress, the guest list, the honeymoon? Or did you ask about what marriage means to them and why they chose this person, to form a decades-long partnership? Did you ask about their values, goals, and needs, their similarities and differences, their expectations, their challenges, their fears, their capacity to be vulnerable, the real meaning of trust and respect?

Did you explore how they will deal with conflict, extended family, finances, parenting, unemployment, illness, anger, disappointment, unhappiness, infidelity? Did you ask whether they have considered counseling, or what other resources they will turn to, to prepare for and sustain their marriage? Did you discuss the balance between safety and excitement, between being faithful to another person, ourselves and a relationship? As your gift, did you offer to be part of a community who will support them in a lifetime of being loving, self-aware, open and non-blaming?

If that conversation seems uncomfortable, you understand why marriages fail at the rates they do. It is the most important role we have – the foundation for everything else. Yet we don’t learn how to do it well or talk with one another – friends, family, neighbors, congregants, colleagues – about what it requires. What would happen, if we chose today, to start that conversation?

Amy Stewart, Geist resident, is a collaborative divorce attorney and can be reached at astewart@ gmail.com

What To Expect: Grandparent Visitation Indiana law provides that grandparents may be awarded court-ordered visitation with their grandchildren under the Grandparent Visitation Act (“GVA”). Accordingly, just as a court can grant parents parenting time with their child, a court can similarly grant visitation for a grandparent to spend time with a grandchild. The GVA is intended to strengthen familial bonds of the extended family under certain circumstances.

Following a United States Supreme Court ruling, court-ordered grandparent visitation has been deemed constitutional under certain conditions. Since then, many states, including Indiana, have adopted their own Grandparent Visitation Acts.

Grandparents may only seek visitation with their grandchildren if they have standing. Only in limited circumstances are grandparents able to ask a court to grant visitation rights with their grandchildren. Those circumstances include when: (1) the child’s parent is deceased; (2) the child’s parents have been divorced; or (3) the child was born out of wedlock (if the child’s father has established paternity). If any one or more of these three circumstances are presence, then a Grandparent may seek visitation.

What factors does a court consider in determining whether to award a grandparent visitation? The court weighs several factors, including: (1) a presumption that a fit parent’s decision about grandparent visitation is in the child’s best interests; (2) the “special weight” that must therefore be given to a fit parent’s decision regarding non-parental visitation; (3) “some weight” given to whether a parent has agreed to some visitation or denied it entirely; and (4) whether the petitioning grandparent has established that visitation is in the child’s best interests.

How does the court know if visitation is in the child’s best interest? The court must look at the totality of the circumstances when determining what may be in the child’s best interests. The court may consider a child’s past experiences with a grandparent, the child’s wishes, and the relationship between the parent and the grandparent, etc.

Where do Grandparents file their petition to seek Grandparent Visitation? The petition requesting grandparent visitation should be filed in the county in which the child lives. However, if there has been a divorce between the child’s parents, the petition should be filed with the court that granted the dissolution of marriage.

Can a Great-grandparent seek grandparent visitation? The GVA does not provide great-grandparents the ability to seek grandparent visitation with their great-grandchildren. Currently, however, there is proposed legislation that would amend the GVA to allow great-grandparents the same rights as grandparents under the GVA. Should that legislation pass, great-grandparents would be able to seek visitation with their great-grandchildren.

Tactical ENTREPRENEUR Former Navy SEAL uses firearms expertise to start own business

By James Feichtner • james@youarecurrent.com A lot of people dream of being part of America’s finest naval special operations force, the Navy SEALS, but for Geist cover story resident Jesse Barnett, being a Navy SEAL was more of an occupation. Barnett spent nearly 15 years operating as a Navy SEAL, but it was through his experience with the military that led him to fulfill his dream of being an entrepreneur.

He has achieved that as the owner of Poseidon Experience in Geist.

Growing up, Barnett never had the idea to become a SEAL. In fact, when he first signed up for the Navy he hadn’t heard much about them.

“I never knew about [the SEALS],” Barnett said. “It wasn’t a well-known thing back then.

After I got in the Navy it became more wellknown. Right after I made the [SEAL] team the movie “SEALS” just came out. I remember I went to a theater (to see the movie) and I came out and some older gent, goes, ‘Doesn’t that make you want to be a SEAL?’ and I was thinking, ‘yeah… I just did that.’”

Just after graduating high school, the Milwaukee, Wis., native joined the U.S. Navy, a route that led him on quite a martial path, operating out of several continents including South America and Europe.

“When I turned 18, that following December I enlisted in the Navy. In 1985 I went in. I managed to get myself in the SEAL team circuit in 1990. I was on the SEAL team for almost 15 years. I started with SEAL Team Four, which is a jungle/South America area of operation and then I transitioned to SEAL Team Two. Prior to that I attended Defense Language Institute for the purpose of learning German,” Barnett said.

After his discharge in 2005, Barnett eventually moved to the Fishers/Geist area where his wife-to-be worked in the medical field nearby. This also allowed him to be closer to

his family.

“My family is from Wisconsin so coming up here was in close proximity to that,” Barnett explained. “Shortly thereafter I began contracting as a diplomatic security contractor, high-threat, low-profile kind of stuff in Afghanistan and Iraq, so 2007 to last year I was doing that.”

But Barnett’s contracting work kept him away from home most of the time. He decided he wanted to follow his dream.

“I always wanted to be an entrepreneur,” he said. “That contracting made good money, but I was gone several months out of the year. So I had been establishing a network [in Fishers] and I got in touch with Launch Fishers, and John Wechsler (the executive director) there was kind of a mentor, kind of helped me out, liked what I was doing. He was a great supporter for me. He introduced me to people to help me develop something. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. I had quite a few ideas.”

With his extensive military background, Barnett used advanced shooting range technology and his weapon expertise to put together Poseidon Experience, giving customers a full firearms training experience unlike any other.

“Obviously I have a lot of background in

Jesse Barnett instructs Amanda Maas in proper handling of a firearm.

firearms, and realized this technology existed and that there was a huge demand to get taught,” Barnett said. “I felt that this would be a great opportunity to get on the ground floor of this concept. In addition to that I felt that it was a fruitful experience in teaching people to really shoot. They’re not just coming and pinging rounds, you’re removing the weapon from your holster, you’re moving and you’re comfortable and you’re changing rounds, you’re manipulating the weapon properly.”

Barnett said Poseidon’s training courses aren’t like other firearms courses , which lack hands-on experience. His courses are promoting “awareness” and “social responsibility.”

“The training really isn’t readily available,” he said. “It’s not robust. You can go to a conceal carry class and you’ll never pick up a gun.

You’re going to hear something about rules and reciprocity, but you’re not going learn any skills, you’re not going to learn your limitations, you’re not going to discover potentials or identify weaknesses and mitigate those.”

About Jesse Barnett Family: Wife, Amarilis. Three stepsons, Francisco, Carlos and Andres Lives in: Fishers/Geist What do you like about Fishers/Geist: It’s an affluent, intelligent, caring community. People take care of their homes. They have pride. It’s just good down-home, Midwest people.

Favorite Restaurant: Mama Carolla’s, I love that, and Matteo’s in Noblesville. Those are two places we really enjoy. For a place to just drop in and eat, Sahm’s Bar and Grill.

Favorite food: Italian, Sushi Favorite Movie: I’ll disappoint the readers if I say something like “Casablanca”, but I loved the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” series, I love “Braveheart”, I loved “300”. If you want to get into the manly movies, I liked “Gladiator.” I’ve watched that like 13 times. I love John Wayne movies.

Favorite Leisurely Activities: Hiking, traveling, boating, biking, getting out and moving around.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Pressing forward: A freshened Current Welcome to your new Current. If you notice a slightly different format with the newspaper you’re holding in your hands, you are correct. If you notice a cleaner, brighter presentation with enhanced color reproduction, you’re on target. We have aligned with a different print vendor, not because our previous vendor did anything untoward, but mostly because the new vendor has the capacity to accommodate Current’s growth. It really was that simple … in the end. It was a bittersweet parting, because this, without a doubt, is our most important vendor relationship, and the previous vendor was extremely good to us.

We grew with that outfit, and it grew with us. We were treated like family, and so the decision to part with the company actually took approximately five months at which to arrive. There are so many moving parts that it became an extremely “micro” exercise. But, in the end, it came down to this: There are all sorts of efficiencies that now are available to us in this new relationship, including different methods of advertising-message display and delivery, and we aim to make use of them.

We simply had to do it, because the growth curve of our company has been steep and should be so well into the future. We owe it to our readers and advertisers to be as “current” as possible and to take every opportunity to improve the Current experience.

So with the new vendor, there are presses more modern and a number of processes to enhance presentation of news and advertising to you. Everything is well organized, and we’re encouraged for what we believe the future holds. We urge you to give this newand-improved version of Current a test drive and let us know your thoughts.

Isn’t that special?

Commentary by Terry Anker

As “Saturday Night Live’s” Church Lady might have observed, “well, isn’t that special?” Her snarky and moralizing posture won hordes of fans and pointed to the judgmental nature of many of the imagined religious old guard. Dana Carvey, playing the character in drag, succeeded in securing a load of catchphrases and merchandising money along the way. But even as we enjoy a laugh firmly based in our own superiority over the silly and preening nature of the Church Lady, are we missing our own progressive, but equally judgmental, posture?

Some 3,500 people surrendered their U.S. citizenship last year – a record beating even the previous year’s highest-ever number. Those asked routinely cited the considerable expansion of government and taxation as the reason for their decision to depart. Hmmm. In the meantime, U.S. companies are eyeing the relocation of their corporate operations to some foreign land as they intentionally seek a more attractive regulatory and financial environment in which to remain internationally competitive

(a practice called inversion). Hmmm, again.

Bitter with the embarrassing departures, Mr. Obama has been joined by a number of moralizing church ladies in scolding the erstwhile once Americans as somehow anti-American. Aren’t they behaving in an anti-American fashion by definition? “God bless America, but another choice is better for me.” Regardless of the motivation behind the move, the political aristocracy feels compelled to criticize the moves as immoral. As was the case at the founding of this nation some nearly 250 years ago, folks will gravitate to places where they see the greatest opportunity and away from those they see in decline. Can we blame them?

Should our attention be focused upon the reasons cited for the departure instead of raging at the audacity of their free will?

Are we losing our best and brightest? Do we care? Should we?

Q U O T E O F T HE W EE K The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.

They must be felt with the heart.

-Helen Keller

For the third year in a row, my spring break and my kids’ did not align. Not a huge deal, but it does ix-nay the family vacation.

Last year, my husband Doo said, “Tough tukus!” and decided to take our four children to Florida anyway. I anticipated a magical time, not having to worry about homework or ear infections or rides to practice, and knowing that the house would be clean and quiet for more than three minutes. But with a dog and a cat driving me bonkers the moment I set foot in the house, and without a carefully orchestrated schedule to keep me on task each day, I found myself stumbling around in a discombobulated state of loneliness and mild depression for the better part of the week. I actually wore two different colors of knee-high boots to school one day, such was my out-of-sorts-ness.

Not wanting a repeat of last year’s footwear debacle, I made several key decisions to help me not only survive spring break, but actually enjoy it. The first was to kennel the dog. The entire time. The second was to binge-watch the entire Sherlock series.

Love it! The third, and perhaps the key to the entire fantabulous week, was to schedule a weekend in Louisville to visit my folks.

The cool part of my trip was that I wasn’t in town for a wedding or a shower or a reunion, nor did I make plans to meet up with old friends. Quality moments with the ‘rents was my primary objective. And even better, this was the first time in 20 years that I stayed with Mom and Dad sans husband, children or any of my four sisters. It was just me, them and one delectable pot roast.

Initially, it was a bit weird. I’m so used to competing with either my siblings (including a twin) or the plethora of grandchildren for a smidge of attention that I felt awkward under the limelight. After about five seconds, though, I acclimated and happily accepted the love. Shopping, pedicures, movies, steak dinners and fireside chats filled the most glorious two days of my forties. No worries, no stress, no nothing . . . just fun, relaxation and Kit Kats out the wazoo. As I packed up to leave, all I could think was, “This might have been my life if I’d been an only child and never married.” Dang!

Consequently, I’ve decided to make this bonding weekend an annual event.

‘Love affair’ ensues: Fab Four to rock Palladium

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Ron McNeill’s love affair with the Beatles began at an early age.

“I borrowed my older sister’s Beatles records and never gave them back,” he said.

While attending a Los Angeles performance Beatles Fest, McNeill watched a contest for sounding or looking like one of the Beatles. He took note of one singer impersonating Paul McCartney.

“I just couldn’t believe he sounded just like Paul McCartney,” McNeill said.

That was Ardy Sarrf, who won the contest.

“The next year I was so inspired I went up there by myself and won as John Lennon,” McNeill said. “I met up with Ardy a couple years later and we formed a group. It’s been our fulltime job for 17 years. It’s the best job in the world. How many people wouldn’t want to be a Beatle?”

The Fab Four, featuring McNeill and Sarrf, will perform at 8

p.m. on May 2 at The Palladium at The Center for Performing Arts in Carmel.

McNeill said his manager has instructed him not to reveal his age.

“But none of us in the group are old enough to have an original Beatles memory,” he said. “Our drummer Erik’s (Fidel) first glimpse of the Beatles was on a VHS tape from the Ed Sullivan Show. It keeps carrying on through generations and generations.”

Fidel performs as Ringo Starr and Gavin Pring takes on the role of George Harrison. Pring actually comes from Liverpool, England, where the Beatles were formed. The group also has understudies at each spot.

McNeill said the group does about 100 dates per year.

“In the early days, we would play about every day,” McNeill said.

The Fab Four visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland the weekend of April 17-18. Starr was inducted as an individual performer on April 18 and was introduced by McCartney.

“We personally invited both of them to our concert on Fri-

day and they didn’t come,” McNeill said. “But we were hoping if they came to our show, we’d get invited to their show. It didn’t work out that time.”

McNeill said The Fab Four played in front of Hall of Fame building for the morning TV news.

While there are tributes for many other groups, McNeill said everybody loves the Beatles, especially musicians.

“Those are some of the first songs you learn,” McNeill said.

“Obviously the Beatles wrote the best songs in the world so it’s always great to imitate them. This is not a cheesy thing.

We take it very seriously when we’re on stage. We want to get as close to those guys as we can. So that we can mirror their own memories in a way.”

The Fab Four are featured in “Come Together: A Beatles Tribute Documentary,” that was produced and directed by Steve Ison and John Scofield, who are based in Indianapolis. The 2014 documentary features 10 of the estimated 8,000 international Beatles tribute bands.

Carmel grad lands recording gig

By Steven Aldrich • new@geistcurrent.com

In 2008, Alex Garrison graduated from Carmel High School where he had spent his entire life growing up. After high school Alex studied at Indiana University, and soon music after moved to Chicago, where he has resided ever since.

While attending Indiana University, Alex met Steven Phillips, who later linked up with him in Chicago to start writing original material for a band they were forming. Soon after meeting in Chicago, they met platinum record producer Sean O’Keefe who had experience working with bands such as Fall Out Boy and The Plain White Tees. According to Garrison, “With him (O’Keefe) we recorded a four song EP that we used to recruit members to fill out the band. Around March of 2014 we had finalized the band with myself, Steven Phillips (guitar), Manny Miller (guitar), Mike Bronk (Bass), and Jack McKee (drums).”

“We spent the large part of the month of December recording our first album as a band,” Garrison said. The band recorded the album in studios located in both Crystal Lake and Chicago. The Central Standard is working to have their first album released this summer, sometime during mid-June. At that time, physi-

cal copies of the album will be available via the band’s website. At the same time as the physical release, they also plan to release the album digitally on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon.

While the band has held all of their shows in the Chicago and Milwaukee area, they are looking to expand to the Indy area soon as well. According to Alex, “Some of our upcoming performances are opening for White Mystery in a Red Bull Sound Select event at the Cubby Bear in Chicago on April 23. We also will be playing are largest show to date when we headline the Double Door in Chicago on May 9.”

The Foolery looks forward to summer of comic-book movies

By Adam Aasen • adam@youarecurrent.com

When comic book movie “The Avengers” came out in 2012, it wasn’t just the biggest movie that summer. It ended up ranking as the third highest grossing film of all time with $1.5 billion worldwide, according to Forbes.

The sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1 and studio analysts are already projecting the movie will make more than $200 million in its opening weekend. And those huge box office numbers should mean increased interest in comic books, which is good news for a small locally-owned shop called The Foolery, at 25 W. Main St., Carmel.

Bob Williams, owner of The Foolery, said he’s adjusted his inventory to cater to which titles are popular nowadays. And he said the Williams growing success of Marvel Comics movies has introduced new readers to the medium.

“As far as the comic books go, before the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie came out, nobody knew who was in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Marvel seems to be able to turn nothing into huge, huge successes,” he said. “So with “The Avengers,” they already have the name, so obviously with what they’re doing it’s just going to continue along the same path.”

“The Walking Dead” – a top rated TV show on AMC – is another popular title that’s been an introduction to comic books for new readers.

Williams said he’s carrying not only Avengers comics, but spinoffs, such as Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and The Hulk.

“We try to focus in on the comic books that are tied to “The Avengers,” he said. “There’s some Ultron comics, which is the major villain in the new movie, so we’re also picking those up.

The pop vinyl figures that come out are extremely popular.

We’re going to carry those as well.”

That first weekend in May should be especially big for The Foolery because Free Comic Book Day is May 2. Williams said he expects to give away hundreds of specially printed free comics. It’s been estimated that Free Comic Book Day generated $3.4 million in free publicity in 2014 nationwide.

Williams also bumps up his business by selling used vinyl

records. When he has a down day in the shop, Williams will also log onto Ebay to sell comic books and records as another source of revenue.

But recently, Williams said his biggest seller, even bigger than superheroes, has been “Star Wars.” Marvel bought Lucas Entertainment and is now releasing new “Star Wars” comic books, which sold over a million direct sale copies for its first issue.

“Star Wars” is a huge title,” he said. “We can’t believe the numbers of people who are strictly buying “Star Wars,” but what’s nice is that they want it all. The “Star Wars” completest comes in and everyone just seems to accept the Marvel comics with open arms.”

Musical hit ‘Xanadu’ comes to Carmel

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

From May 1-17, Actor’s Theatre of Indiana will be performing the musical hit “Xanadu” at the Studio Theatre in the Center for the Performing Arts. ““Xanadu” is a musical fantasy about a young muse who comes to Venice Beach, California to inspire a young artist in his quest for his dream,” Director Billy Kimmel said. “It’s a musical comedy which Actor’s Theatre is known for doing, nominated for several Tony awards. It really has a classic message; it’s basically to believe in one self and to be inspired with your dreams no matter what the cost.”

Kimmel compares “Xanadu” to “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, referring to the musical as a cult classic that is very well known and has lots of followers. It is based off Greek mythology, has great music and involves roller skating.

“Xanadu” is based on the Universal Pictures film. The title sponsor for Carmel’s production is Ogletree Deakins, and the underwriter is The Voice Clinic of Indiana.

Preliminary auditions for the musical hit began last fall in Indianapolis, followed by a full audition in January. Casting decisions were made in February. Rehearsals started early April and will continue every day up until the show. Including set design, props and technical planning, the musical took mor than six months to plan.

Kimmel is recently known for directing “The Divine Sister,” a comedy, which was performed in New York. The last thing he performed in Indianapolis was “Forbidden Broadway.”

“Xanadu” will be performed Wednesdays thru Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. the weeks of performances. Tickets are available online at actorstheatreofindiana.org or through the Center for the Performing Arts box office at 843-3800.

“Come if you want a good laugh, because it’s a fantasy,” Kimmel said. “It’s a musical escape, so come if you want to have a nice evening and leave the theatre singing.”

Collaborative concert hosts first party of the summer

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

Get ready to kick off the summer with a full orchestra! On May 22 at 7:30 p.m., the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and the Indianapolis Opera will host a collaborative concert called Crescendo that will take place at White River State Park in Indianapolis.

The collaboration will provide more than just opera, aiming to achieve a fun-filled, family event full of all kinds of activities.

“It is a concert to kick off the summer.

Memorial weekend is a big weekend in Indianapolis so it will be the first party of the summer down in White River Park,” ICO Executive Director Elaine Eckhart said. “It is being presented by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and the Indianapolis Opera, and it is a sneak peek for each of our seasons in 2015-16.”

The concert will provide a mix of opera, classical and pop music equipped with music, singing and a full orchestra. Eckhart describes it as “rousing.”

This is the first time the ICO and IO have done something like this in Indianapolis. Eckhart as well as IO’s General Director Kevin Patterson hope it will bring some publicity to their groups.

The ICO back-row wind section performs (Submitted photo)

“We’re hoping to start this annual tradition here in Indy,” Eckhart said.

Patterson says the number one objective of the collaboration is for people to have fun, but he hopes that it will raise awareness of their organizations as well.

“For both organizations it’s about creating awareness,” Patterson said. “We are hoping to attract 4,000 – 7,000 people.”

Patterson says there will be something there for everyone, including musical variety, audience participation and even the opportu-

nity to conduct the orchestra that night.

Lawn seating is free and open to the public, but there is also the option of purchasing seat tickets. Those tickets can be accessed through indyopera.org or icomusic.org.

“I’m hoping that people who are not familiar with the ICO or the IO will learn about us and it will increase their curiosity about us,” Eckhart said. “Also, one of my objectives is people will come and have fun, and find the music invigorating or uplifting. It’s not rock, but a full orchestra is pretty impactful.”
