The Quartetto Bernini was created in Rome in 1992. Since 1998 the Quartet is in residence at the Roman Philharmonic Academy. In 1999, Quartetto was awarded the well-known ”Michelangelo Prize” for exceptional artistic merit, a prize presented in previous editions to Goffredo Petrassi, Renzo Piano, Alberto Sordi, as well as Ennio Morricone himself.

“...not only the most photogenic string quartet around, but are also an astounding ensemble of musicians.”

Utrecht String Quartet January 22, 2013

A renowned chamber-music ensemble, The Utrecht String Quartet is known internationally for its versatile and dynamic approach. Resident in the Netherlands, the musical world of the Utrecht String Quartet is borderless and boundless, and whichever work its musicians choose to play in the genre of string-quartet music, it is their general policy to avoid any hint of treating them like museum exhibits. “...the long-established Utrecht players are in every way outstanding” - The Strad

Schubert Ensemble February 5, 2013

The Schubert Ensemble has established itself over 29 years as one of the world’s leading exponents of music for piano and strings. The Ensemble has performed in over 40 different countries, and in 1998 the Ensemble was recognized by the Royal Philharmonic Society when it presented the group with the Best Chamber Ensemble Award, for which it was shortlisted again in 2010.

”To say they play with seasoned eloquence, a unanimity of feeling born of deep communal consideration, is an understatement, for they demand superlatives.” - Sunday Times

Vienna Piano Trio February 19, 2013 “... in this class-act concert, Schubert and the Vienna Trio made it all seem easy, from the opening seconds, Schubert´s Trio in B flat major, D898, sounded youthful, energetic, and above all, confident.”

- The Oxford Times

For almost 20 years, the Vienna Piano Trio has been performing regularly in virtually every major music center in Europe, the Americas, Australia and the Far East. The trio was founded by violinist Wolfgang Redik, cellist Marcus Trefny and pianist Stefan Mendl in 1988. Extensive studies with various highly renowned musicians paved the trio’s way to an international career soon after.

The group tours worldwide, performing in major music cities such as London, Paris, New York, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Toronto, Montreal, Mexico City, Tokyo, Sydney, Brussels, Barcelona and Berlin.

Auryn Quartet March 5, 2013 “...the Auryn performances seem so close ... that it is possible to believe you are hearing directly what Beethoven had in mind.”

- Gramophone

An outstanding career spanning three decades has made the Auryn Quartet one of the most sought-after and respected ensembles performing around the globe. The Quartet has not changed its personnel over this long period, and continues with its fresh and pioneering approach to all genres of music.

Since 2003 the Auryn Quartet has been sharing its wealth of experience with musicians of younger generations, in the form of a teaching position at the Music Academy in Detmold, Germany, where they are professors for chamber-music.

Impressions of Interiors: Gilded Age Paintings

by Walter Gay

American artist Walter Gay (1856–1937) specialized in painting views of opulent residential interiors in late19th and early-20th-century America and Europe. John Singer January 29 - April 21, 2013 Sargent, Gay’s contemporary, Free with Museum Admission is well known for painting the sumptuous clothing and jewels of American society in his fashionable portraits. Walter Gay, in contrast, painted society’s rooms—with their silk wall coverings, ornate paneling, 18th-century French furniture, tapestries, and sculptures—arranged in the private spaces of what were often legendary residences. Impressions of Interiors will present a comprehensive exploration of Walter Gay’s depictions of elaborately decorated European and American domestic interiors, painted from the mid-1890s to the early 1930s. These paintings serve as documents of the collecting, decorating habits, and taste of Gay and his patrons, and also as mirrors of their attitudes towards the past.

The exhibition features paintings from major private collections and institutions including: the Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Musée d’Orsay, Paris; Philadelphia Museum of Art; and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Impressions of Interiors: Gilded Age Paintings by Walter Gay has been organized by the Frick Art & Historical Center, Pittsburgh.

This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from The Richard C. von Hess Foundation.

The President and the Assassin

The Assassination of President McKinley at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century Scott Miller - Author and Historian February 3, 2013 - 3:00 p.m.

The Pan-American Exposition, held in Buffalo, New York in 1901, became the stage for the startling assassination of President William McKinley, by an anarchist. At the time, the United States was undergoing a cultural transition from agrarian to industrial and extending its influence worldwide.

One day after President William McKinley addressed the crowd gathered at the Fair, extolling technology and industrial advancement, he was assassinated by a first-generation immigrant, who was a dismayed factory worker and anarchist.

No Businessman

How President Grant Saved the Economy but Lost His Own Shirt Jean Edward Smith, Author and Professor of Political Science February 10, 2013 - 3:00 p.m.

A decorated war hero, Ulysses S. Grant was the U.S. Army’s first four-star general and the only Gilded Age President to serve back-to-back terms. Though he struggled as a young cadet, Grant returned to the military after a string of civilian business failures.

Credited with maintaining stability in the era of Reconstruction and for fostering the continued unity of the nation, he is perhaps most remembered for his second term which was marred by financial scandals and an ineffective cabinet. Grant died nearly broke, as a victim of swindle.

The Dark Horse

The Surprise Election and Assassination of President Garfield Ken Ackerman, Author and Historian February 17, 2013 - 3:00 p.m.

After a long and drawn out Republican convention in 1880, James Garfield was nominated, after more than 50 rounds of voting, the Party’s candidate for President. Garfield went on to win the popular vote by the narrowest of margins. After serving as President only a few months, President Garfield was shot by Charles Guiteau, a mentally ill and unsuccessful applicant for a Presidential appointment. President Garfield would likely have survived, except for the unsanitary practices of his physicians who refused to believe Lister’s findings regarding germs and hygiene. Garfield’s assassination marked the beginning of a new era in American politics and partisanship.

The President is a Sick Man President Cleveland’s Secret Surgery

Whitehall Lecture Series 2013

Matthew Algeo, Author and Reporter February 24, 2013 - 3:00 p.m.

Sworn into his second term as President just months before, he was a political leader known for his honesty. In the midst of the Panic of 1893, President Grover Cleveland disappeared from public view for five days. Cleveland had been diagnosed with the dread disease, cancer. Insistent on total secrecy, in order to insure the Country’s financial stability, the President assembled a team of top physicians and surgeons, boarded the Oneida, a friend’s yacht, and headed toward open water. Though it seemed the surgery was kept secret, eventually, the story was picked up by well-respected journalist, E.J. Edwards. What followed was a major campaign by Cleveland’s supporters to deny and discredit Edwards’ story.

Fraud of the Century The Election of President Hayes Roy Morris, Author and Editor of Military Heritage magazine March 3, 2013 - 3:00 p.m.

Set in the centennial year of the United States, the 1876 Presidential election was one of the most dynamic and powerful elections in American history.

Embroiled in claims of corruption and controversial legality, the contest between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden nearly sparked a civil war among political parties. The older, more politically experienced Tilden, received the popular vote and was known as an intellectual politician. However, it was Hayes, the more practical politician, who eventually took the oath of office, after an exhaustive recount of the electoral vote. The battle for the presidency of 1876 depleted Tilden’s personal and political spirit and dampened Hayes’ political reputation on both sides of the political aisle.

Easter egg Hunt

Children are invited to hunt for more than 7,000 Easter Eggs on the Museum’s Lawns. The Museum grounds will be sectioned off into age-appropriate areas so all children, including toddlers, will have an opportunity to participate in the hunt.

Special prizes will be awarded to the game winners. Children should bring their own baskets. Wooden egg rolling spoons will be provided.

March 30, 2013 Gates open at 9:00 a.m.
