SPRING 2020

ianist Jim Witter returns by popular demand, this time to present Feelin’ Groovy – a musical journey through the '60s featuring the music of Simon and Garfunkel. What a time it was! No other composers capture the mood of the '60s quite like Simon and Garfunkel. Their songs express the innocence, hope, and introspection that contrasted the monumental changes our society experienced during the 1960s. War raged abroad while “Peace and Love” became the domestic mantra.

Experience one of Jim’s most powerful musical journeys as you let your hair down, kick off your shoes, and start Feelin’ Groovy as Jim and the boys take you back in time. As the lights go down and the music begins, close your eyes for a moment.

You may almost smell the incense burning and see the lava lamps bubbling. Songs like Mrs. Robinson, Scarborough Fair, The Boxer, and many more will have you singing along and chanting “far out!” Welcome back to the '60s!

Chanticleer Trade Winds C

alled “the world’s reigning male chorus” by the New Yorker, the San Francisco-based Grammy® award-winning ensemble Chanticleer recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. Praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for its “tonal luxuriance and crisply etched clarity,” Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its seamless blend of twelve male voices ranging from soprano to bass and its original interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz and popular genres, as well as contemporary composition.

FEB 21 Friday, 7:00 p.m.

Cultural Center Theater Ticket price: $20 Register: Reservation Request Form

The remarkable male a cappella ensemble presents a program titled Trade Winds. Sultry and seductive, guiding us to exotic places, the trade winds have always been a part of the world’s history, urging explorers on. Gentle winds accompany the folkloric beauties of music from Pacific Islands such as Hawaii, Samoa, and New Zealand. Robust and carefree music old and new comes from the seafaring peoples of Europe. The program includes a brand-new work by Zhou Tian, featuring Chinese poetry, and John Masefield’s poem “Trade Winds.” Chanticleer’s foundational repertoire of early pieces will be handsomely represented by music of the sea and the spheres by Monteverdi, Gesualdo, Victoria, and, for the first time, Portuguese composer Filipe de Magalhães.

Valery Gergiev Conducts Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and Shostakovich – With Nobuyuki Tsujii

Length: 1 hour 42 minutes The young prodigy Nobuyuki (Nobu) Tsujii plays Russian masterpieces in St. Petersburg, with Valery Gergiev conducting the Mariinsky Orchestra. Among the promising young piano talents of Japan, Nobu is one of them. Blind since birth, he took the 2009 Van Cliburn Competition by storm and has been touring the world’s stages ever since. Among these has been St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theatre, where the pianist performed in concerts featuring Russian masterpieces

by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, and Shostakovich, and added a personal touch to the program with the inclusion of his own original composition.

Jacques Loussier: “Play Bach and More”

Length: 1 hour 38 minutes In 1959, Jacques Loussier hit upon the idea that was to make his international reputation, by combining his interest in jazz with his love of J.S. Bach. Only a pianist with exceptional classical technique and deft improvisatory skill could have nurtured this vision. He founded the Play Bach Trio, which used Bach’s compositions as the basis for jazz improvisation. The trio immediately caught the public imagination. In their live appearances, tours, and concerts, plus a succession of recordings, Loussier’s group achieved the breakthrough to success enjoyed by only a select few jazz musicians. On July 28, 2004, the day of Bach’s 254th anniversary of death, the Jacques Loussier Trio performed a special concert at the famous St. Thomas Church of Leipzig — the city where Bach composed many of his most famous works.

Mozart’s The Magic Flute

Length: 2 hours 39 minutes Sung in German with English subtitles.

A star-studded production of Mozart’s singspiel nonpareil: a group of outstanding soloists join Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker for Die Zauberflöte.

Premiered just months before Mozart’s tragic death in late 1791, this is one of the composer’s most enigmatic and captivating musical creations. Inspired by a potpourri of sources — medieval romance, scholarly essays, Viennese popular theater, and Freemasonry — the work grew out of a collaboration between Mozart, his friend Emanuel Schikaneder, and Schikaneder’s theatrical troupe. This compelling and modern production stars Pavol Breslik as Tamino, Kate Royal as Pamina, Michael Nagy as Papageno, Ana Durlovski as the Queen of the Night, and Annick Massis, Magdalena Kozena, and Nathalie Stutzmann as a stellar casting of the Three Ladies.

Jaap van Zweden Conducts Bruckner’s Symphony No. 8

Length: 1 hour 22 minutes Jaap van Zweden conducted the Verbier Festival Orchestra in Bruckner’s Symphony No. 8 with finesse and intensity. Written more or less simultaneously with the Symphony No. 7, which was a triumph, this symphony represented for Bruckner the culmination of his oeuvre. Even so, the work was widely disparaged, to the point that Bruckner thought of committing suicide. The score underwent numerous modifications before arriving in its definitive version. A native of the Netherlands, Jaap van Zweden is one of the most acclaimed conductors of his generation. He became music director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in 2008, the Hong Kong Philharmonic in 2012, and now the New York Philharmonic.

Riccardo Chailly Conducts Rossini: Petite Messe Solennelle

Length: 1 hour 24 minutes On the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the composer’s death, crowds gathered at the Leipzig Gewandhaus to witness a world-class performance of one of Rossini’s major choral works: the Petite Messe Solennelle. He wrote this in 1863, “the last,” the composer called it, “of my péchés de vieillesse” (sins of old age).

Riccardo Chailly — whose genius for the Rossini style has ripened with the years — leads a spectacular ensemble of four internationally renowned singers, the combined forces of the Choir of the Leipzig Opera and the Gewandhaus Choir, and the Gewandhausorchester; their harmonious, ethereal rendition receives a heartfelt ovation that affirms the beguiling effect of the last of Rossini’s “sins of old age.”

MAR 24 Tuesday, 1:30 p.m.

Exhibition On Screen—Lucian Freud: A Self Portrait

Length: 1 hour 20 minutes The Royal Academy of Arts in London, in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, brings together Lucian Freud’s self-portraits. One of the most celebrated painters of our time, Freud is also one of very few 20th century artists who portrayed themselves with such consistency. With more than 50 paintings, prints, and drawings on display, this exhibition turns this modern master of British art on himself. Spanning nearly 70 years, his self-portraits give a fascinating insight into both his psyche and his development as a painter — from his earliest portrait painted in 1939, to the last, executed 64 years later. When seen together, his portraits represent an engrossing study into the dynamic of aging and the process of self-representation. This intensely compelling exhibition reveals the life’s work of a master.

The Lancaster Conservancy Presents

Doug Tallamy: Restoring the Little Things that Run the World A recent UN report predicts that as many as one million species will disappear from Earth because of human activities. Many of these are insects, and nearly all species at risk rely on insects. Insects have already declined 45% since 1974. The most alarming part of this statistic is that we don’t seem to care, despite the fact that a world without insects is a world without humans! So how do we create beautiful landscapes brimming with life, landscapes that support the pollinators, herbivores, detritivores, predators, and parasitoids that run the ecosystems we depend on? Doug Tallamy will remind us of the many essential roles insects play, and describe the simple changes we must make in our landscapes and our attitudes to keep insects on the ground, in the air, and yes, on our plants.

Doug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 95 research publications and has taught insect-related courses for 39 years. His new book, Nature’s Best Hope, will be available to the public in February 2020.

Art Gallery Michael Straus, North Resident Michael Straus was born in Dallas, Texas and was a grocery gofer, sheet metal worker, accountant, and an aviation lawyer. Now he is a photographer. He planned to be a fine woodworker, but in 1993 he, his wife, Michele, and friends went to China. On the way into Beijing, he took a photo through a dirty tourist van window; that image is in his current exhibit. That image grew into his desire to be a photographer.

He is a “street photographer” and does not take snapshots meant for reminiscing. That is not the purpose of his work. “My photographs are my very personal capture of about 1/500th of a second of life. Those milliseconds will never repeat themselves.” He does his own digital capture, processing, and printing but does not frame his images.

Almost all photographers start out with plans for some specialty; he did take many hundreds of nature shots. Nevertheless, the Beijing image strongly influenced him. After several years, he realized that certain images gave him the most pleasure and inspiration. Those images were/ are taken without setup, with limited equipment and without posing.

Most come from the streets of Paris and other international cities and show life in areas that tourists rarely see.

His “body of work” is Paris, France, and subcategories in the nation of France and other international cities.

He has received some competitive awards and sales, and his work has shown in juried and curated exhibits and some publications. Most of his factual background will be in a handout at his exhibit. If you visit the exhibit, you will see that there are two obvious characteristics. First, “I see in color and do not even pretend that I ‘see’ in black and white.” He does produce some monochrome images, converting to or from color, if he feels that the image would look better in that style. Secondly, his work is eclectic, not limited to any “genre” except street photography.

Kelly Munchel Kelly is a self-taught fluid artist who, with great perseverance, has perfected a style that is unique to her. As a degreed interior designer, she recognized the desire of her clients for original artwork that reflected their style and home décor. She is inspired by things found in nature — like seashells, skies, oceans, flowers, marble, rocks, and trees — because the colors and textures are so beautiful! This has been her inspiration to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that tell their own stories. As a fluid artist, she creates both resin and acrylic paintings. The resin pour process includes mixing different pigments, metals, and acrylics into the resin. This method results in a unique marble-looking glass-like finish which brings depth to the pieces. The acrylic pour method includes using paint mediums with acrylics and pouring them onto the canvas. Various tools are used to create different designs in her artwork. Kelly’s artwork, both resin and acrylic, has also been commissioned for corporate applications. She can create multiple paintings to accommodate longer wall spaces. Kelly collaborates with clients on color choices and appropriate sizing. She offers custom-sized artwork based upon her clients’ needs. “Making unique and beautiful pieces for my FEB 14 – MAR 26 clients’ homes and businesses is one of my greatest joys.”

Currently some of the resin pieces can be seen at www.galleryofmodernmasters.com and www.twenty-twogallery.com, and the acrylic pieces can be seen at www.kminteriorsartwork.com.

Judith Kozma Judith Kozma was born in Philadelphia, PA and lived in Havertown, PA until she moved to Lancaster after her marriage to Robert Kozma.

She received her BS from Penn State in Elementary Education and a Master of Education from Millersville. Judith has always had a love for art and nature, and one of her goals in life was to learn how to paint using watercolor. The spontaneity and unpredictability of watercolors fascinates her. Creating a realistic view of the beautiful world around her is very rewarding, and trying new techniques challenges her and helps provide new perspectives for her work. Her watercolor instruction began in 1987 with artist and friend, Barbara Geurts. It continued with J. Fred Witmer, Lynn Yancha, Larry Lombardo, Deb Watson, and currently Steve Wilson. Some of her paintings have been shown at LCAA, Lancaster ArtWalk, LGH Health Campus, York Art Association, Carriage House in Port Deposit, MD, and various banks, churches, and shops in Lancaster. Many of her original paintings have won awards and been donated for charitable events, and a large number of her paintings are currently in private collections across the United States.

No other motif accommodated his color fantasies as much, and left him such freedom of expression, than flowers in bloom.

In creating almost abstract paintings, he could implement his vision of musicality and absolute impact of color without losing the connection with nature which had always been the premise of his work.

Wonderful Television Memories – The 1950s The first appearance of television in American homes was regarded as the wonder of the age. The TV was housed in a large enclosure, contained a tiny screen, and frequently was beset by interference, but it was wonderful. There was a variety of shows ranging from comedy and drama to Westerns and quiz shows. Characters such as Lucy Ricardo, Matt Dillon, Ozzie Nelson, Dick Clark, and the Beaver became household names. Let’s take that stroll down memory lane and visit the early days of television and the personalities that made those days special in our lives.

Life of the Mind “Wonder is the beginning of wisdom.”

– Socrates

Socrates Café Socrates Café encourages spirited discussion about issues and topics that challenge our beliefs about contemporary society and who we are as human beings. Our quest is not to arrive at answers or consensus but rather to develop more and better questions. We seek clarification of our own thinking and careful and respectful consideration of the views of others as we sift through, sort out, and attempt to arrive at new insights into the topics under discussion.

So if you enjoy thinking about and questioning commonly accepted assumptions, even your own, and if you are willing to challenge the taken-for-granted authority of any position or representation of fact or truth, join us at Socrates Café.

Socrates Café meets in the Cultural Center Education Room on the second Monday of each month from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

“The difficulty lies not in grasping the new ideas, but rather in escaping from the old ones.”

Dates and Topics January 13 HEALTH How do you describe a sense of well-being?

“Four important areas of your life: what you eat, how much you move, how you manage stress, and how much love and support you have.” – Dean Ornish February 10 SOCIALISM There does not appear to be a history of socialism in the American political thought. Why is this?

March 9

COMMON GOOD VS. PRIVATE GOOD How far is the government (i.e., taxpayers) obligated to bail out individuals who do foolish things?

“We still join together, but now we join for services too expensive to purchase alone — child care, the schools our children attend, recreational facilities, and security...” – Robert B. Reich, The Common Good April 13 GLOBALIZATION What is the responsibility of our citizens toward foreign nations?

“Globalization could be the answer to many of the world’s seemingly intractable problems. But this requires strong democratic foundations based on a political will to ensure equity and justice.”

– Sharan Burrow May 11 HATE Hate is a basic human emotion.

What causes it? How do we handle it?

“From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.” – Socrates

Books That Shaped Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Others Award-winning literature professor Joseph Luzzi will guide us through a fascinating “Presidents’ Library,” exploring the books that shaped six of the most powerful men ever to sit in the Oval Office. Discuss why George Washington was obsessed with a play about a Roman freedom fighter who opposed Julius Caesar; how Thomas Jefferson came to have the largest personal library in the country; what drew Abraham Lincoln to Shakespeare so obsessively; which British poet Franklin Delano Roosevelt memorized as a child and read throughout his life; why John F. Kennedy was devoted to a spy novelist whose books would create one of the greatest film franchises in history; and how Barack Obama came to understand his American identity and spirit through two favorite authors. You will see how presidential action and presidential reading are intimately linked as you explore the momentous events in these presidents’ lives in light of the books that inspired their thoughts and guided their actions.

Joseph Luzzi | Bard College Joseph Luzzi is a literature and Italian professor at Bard College, and was previously a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received the Scaglione Prize for his teaching. He is also the author of the audio course “The Art of Reading.” Professor Luzzi previously taught at Yale University, where he was awarded a Yale College Teaching Prize.

The Greatest American Films Ever Citizen Kane, The Godfather, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Some Like It Hot. Could these be the four greatest American movies ever made? Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Francis Ford Coppola, and Stanley Kubrick were operating at the pinnacles of their talents when they created what many movie scholars and critics consider the greatest masterworks in the history of American cinema. These revolutionary films not only defined the turbulent social and cultural eras in which they were made, but successfully transcended those eras by casting a giant shadow of influence across the entire film industry.

Marc Lapadula | Yale University Marc Lapadula is a senior lecturer in the Film Studies Program at Yale University. He is a playwright, screenwriter, and an award-winning film producer. Marc has taught at Columbia University’s Graduate Film School; created the screenwriting programs at both the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University where he won Outstanding Teaching awards and lectured on film and playwriting and conducted highly acclaimed screenwriting seminars all across the country at notable venues such as the National Press Club, the Smithsonian Institution, the Commonwealth Club, and the New-York Historical Society.

An Evening with Leonardo da Vinci What creates and drives genius? Why are some geniuses universal in their ability and others focused on a single discipline or interest? Investigate, perhaps, the most remarkable universal genius produced by the Italian Renaissance — or any other historical period: Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci was a painter, sculptor, military and civil engineer, experimental scientist, and courtier. His work remains among the most celebrated in the history of art, as his Mona Lisa is the single most famous painting in the world; and his speculation on human flight, military machines, and huge public works, such as diverting rivers, operate on a scale previously unimaginable.

Kenneth Bartlett | University of Toronto Kenneth Bartlett is Professor of History and Renaissance Studies at the University of Toronto. A distinguished teacher, Professor Bartlett has received numerous teaching awards and honors, such as the 3M Teaching Fellowship, and the inaugural President’s Teaching Award from the University of Toronto. He also received the Victoria University Excellence in Teaching Award, the Students’ Administration Council Teaching Award, and the Faculty of Arts and Science Outstanding Teacher Award.

The United or Divided States of America The 2020 presidential election will be one of the most important, if not divisive, in American history. Not since 1860, when the election of Lincoln was a referendum on slavery, was the country so divided that it led to civil war. This two-part lecture will examine the reality of this argument that many pundits compare to the atmosphere surrounding Lincoln’s election (see the claim made by Evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress that if President Trump is impeached, it will cause a “Civil War-like fracture in the nation…from which the country will never heal”).

The Six Most Interesting Presidents of the 20th Century America still benefits today from actions taken by past presidents. Franklin Delano Roosevelt created Social Security, FDIC, SEC (stock market), TVA (hydroelectricity), and FHA (housing). Imagine our safety net today without Medicare and Medicaid, first proposed by President Harry Truman. Former President Bush, President Obama, and Congress all believe in making use of an economic tool called the Federal Reserve Board, created by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. How can we understand today without looking at the past? This course will give an overview of the domestic and foreign policies of these presidents, their biographies, and how their presidential actions may relate to current history. Take a walk through American history from 1901 to 1974, with six history-changing personalities.

Movie: Buchanan’s America, A Nation Divided A nation polarized! Shouting in Washington! No one is listening!

“Compromise” is a dirty word! This was the context that faced James Buchanan during his presidency, 1857-1861, the tumultuous years preceding the Civil War. Despite having been one of America’s most accomplished politicians prior to taking office, Buchanan was dogged by the issue of slavery as the North and the South dug in their heels. Lancaster History has produced a fresh look at the fifteenth president of the United States. In the film, some historians come together to reinterpret aspects of Buchanan’s life. Learn more about the only president born in Pennsylvania and who lived in Lancaster. Following the viewing of the film, there will be a discussion of its content and how the film was produced.

This one-hour slide presentation explores our nation’s first racially integrated and religiously inspired civil rights movement that emerged in the aftermath of the American Revolution: 1770-1783. Recent research by Mr. Harris and his colleagues with the African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania has uncovered intriguing facts and theories about our area. Learn how spontaneous uprisings against slavery evolved into secret, organized efforts, daring escapes, and legal challenges.

The World of Ancient Greece – And Why It Still Matters Today More than 2,000 years ago, a tiny corner of Europe generated huge ideas that came to drive the development of Western civilization. Science, philosophy, democracy, classical drama, the celebration of human excellence — all these have their roots in ancient Greece. This three-part program explores the many fascinating dimensions of Greek culture: its rise during the Golden Age of Athens; its spread, with the armies of Alexander the Great, as far afield as Egypt and India; its revival by the artists and writers of the Renaissance; and its lasting influence on politics, society, and creative expression today.

The Road to Newton The problem of planetary motion was not solved until the greatest of all mathematical physicists, Isaac Newton, published his laws of motion and gravity in 1687. We’ll focus on the great work that was done over the fifteen centuries before Newton put it all together in his famous Principia. It’s a story of false starts, breakthroughs in measurement, and brilliant ideas.

No math is required, although a working knowledge of ancient Greek and Latin might be helpful (not really). In the 16th century, Tycho Brahe used this instrument to precisely measure the positions of planets visible to the naked eye as they moved across the sky. He died about a decade before the invention of the telescope in 1608.

REALLY… Who Was Insane?

When Vincent van Gogh died, it was believed he killed himself. To that end, the parish priest would not allow the town hearse to carry his body. New findings now show he never shot himself. His life was filled with misunderstandings… from the day of his birth until he breathed his final breath. And, his “ear incident” seems to be what he is remembered for the most. Clearly, there is so much more to appreciate and understand about this complex Dutchman. Learn about his time in the asylum, which he entered on his own.

Book Review: Dutch Girl

by Robert Matzen The years from 1939 through 1945 were dark in European history, featuring German occupation with a backdrop of concentration camps.

Audrey survived the war years with numerous challenges and managed to hold on to her dream of becoming a ballerina. After the war concluded, Audrey found her way to the United States with fresh beginnings including Broadway and motion pictures. Her name now became Audrey Hepburn, and she evolved into one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars.

Great Photographers, Part 8: The Social Reformers; Jacob Riis (1849-1914), Lewis Hine (1874-1940), and Sebastiao Salgado (b. 1944) These three men worked in different eras of photography, but each one saw gross mistreatment of his fellow human beings and refused to turn away. They used their cameras to document the plight of the poor and to raise public awareness of their working and living conditions. Jacob Riis documented the wretched tenement housing and living conditions of immigrants; Lewis Hine was appalled by child labor in factories; and Sebastiao Salgado is known for his social documentary photography of workers in less developed nations. Together, their work has helped to inspire some of the greatest social reforms of the 20th century.

Work Out – Don’t Walk Out The Fitness Team has invited two physicians, who are Willow Valley Communities residents, to kick off the 2020 Motivational Challenge: The WVC 100 Mile Club.

Please move more! Even just a little bit, urges new physical activity guidelines.

Health experts now say that small bursts of exercise, even a minute or two at a time, contribute to your weekly totals.

Dr. Julien Biebuyck

Dr. Julien Biebuyck will discuss the new physical activity guidelines for Americans. Less than half of the daily 10,000-step number previously recommended is now linked to a decreased risk for early deaths in older men and women.

Dr. Mac Evarts will focus on exercise routines for seniors, including the changes in muscle mass that occur with aging, the physiologic responses to exercise, and the benefits and methods of exercise.

North Park Loop Trail and Promenade Boardwalk Hike, Havre de Grace, MD | 2.5 miles sneaker hike The hike will begin with a 1.5-mile tour through the nature and history of Havre de Grace, MD. During your waterside hike, the trail will lead you over footbridges where you can explore the natural environment and history of the area under a treelined canopy. You will see how the mighty Susquehanna River ends its 444-mile journey to empty its fresh water into the fertile Chesapeake Bay. Our hike will include a stroll on the boardwalk promenade, just under a mile, which is a great experience in any season of the year. With a breeze and view of the Susquehanna River where it meets the Chesapeake Bay, we’ll perhaps see an eagle sitting on a pylon overseeing the bay — the perfect way to make this hike a little slice of heaven on Earth. Bring a lunch or grab a quick bite at the Promenade Grille.

We will return to Willow Valley Communities by 4:00 p.m.
