Rastrelli Cello Quartet – From Brahms till Beatles A singularly unique ensemble, the Rastrelli Cello Quartet has been thrilling audiences with their renderings of non-traditional programming since 2002. Kira Kraftzoff founder and artistic director, Kirill Timofeev, Misha Degtjareff and Sergio Drabkin formed the ensemble with a mission to perform music “between the genres,” and their widely varied programs comfortably mix works by Bach, Saint-Saens and Tchaikovsky with that of George Gershwin, Dave Brubeck and Leroy Anderson.

The name of the Quartet is taken from the eighteenth-century architect Bartholomew Rastrelli, who designed the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the home city of three of the four Quartet members. The Rastrelli have performed in many of Europe’s great concert halls, in the USA, and in Russia, and in many distinguished summer music festivals.

The Whiffenpoofs of Yale

Every year, 14 senior Yale students are selected to be in the Whiffenpoofs, the world’s oldest and best-known collegiate a cappella group. Founded in 1909, the “Whiffs” began as a senior quartet that met for weekly concerts at Mory’s Temple Bar, the famous Yale tavern. Today, the group has become one of Yale’s most celebrated traditions, with over a century of musical excellence.

Singing a mixture of old Yale tunes, jazz standards, and other hits from across the decades, the Whiffenpoofs perform more than 200 concerts each year. Their characteristic white tie and tails, paired with their enthusiasm and humor, have become iconic for audiences all around the United States and across the world.

Recent Whiffenpoof performance venues have included Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the White House, the Rose Bowl, and Lincoln Center. They have sung for multiple standing presidents and have toured over twenty countries on six continents.

Nonetheless, the Whiffs always feel most at home at Yale on their perennial Monday night engagement at Mory’s, where they close each night with the historic Whiffenpoof Song.

Mozart’s Overture to Don Giovanni introduces the opera’s title character with a delightful mixture of music. Leonskaja performs Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3. The concert closes with Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 9. Written in 1945 with an intent to glorify Stalin as the leader of a victorious Russia, the actual symphony is light, neutral and in a neoclassical style which prompted censure from his contemporaries and anger from Stalin.

Juan Diego Flórez and Friends Sing for “Sinfonia por el Perú”

Exhibition on Screen - Cezanne Portraits of a Life

Length: 1 hour 40 minutes

From the National Portrait Gallery London, Musée d’Orsay Paris and National Gallery of Art Washington.

One of the most talked - about exhibitions of the year. Dedicated to the portrait work of Paul Cézanne, the exhibition opens in Paris before traveling to London and Washington.

Featuring interviews with curators and experts from the National Portrait Gallery London, MoMA New York, National Gallery of Art Washington, and Musée d’Orsay Paris, and correspondence from the artist himself. The film takes audiences beyond the exhibition to the places Cézanne lived and worked and sheds light on an artist who is perhaps the least known of all the impressionists – until now.

Juan Diego Flórez and his talented colleagues present a gala concert at the Wiener Staatsoper, to raise awareness and money for his charity “Sinfonia por el Perú.” This charity is a social integration association that seeks to help children from some of Peru’s poorest families to experience personal and artistic growth through the power of music. Through vocal and instrumental training, members of the Sistema de Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles del Perú (SOJIP) develop themselves through the pursuit of excellence, discipline, self-confidence and teamwork. The concert features singers Vittorio Grigolo, Valentina Nafornita, Luca Pisaroni, and Ildar Abdrazakov, among others. They are joined by the Harmonia Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble made up of young musicians from Perú, Colombia, Turkey, South Africa, and other countries, performing alongside the Vienna Philharmonic.

Gustavo Dudamel Counducts Tchaikovsky and Brahms Length: 1 hour 46 minutes El Sistema prodigy Gustavo Dudamel has become an international sensation. Current music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, he is a leading personality on the classical music scene. In 2014 the Berliner Philharmoniker invited him to conduct its annual summer concert at Waldbühne. Together they performed works by Tchaikovsky and Brahms.

Dudamel conducts two Tchaikovsky works inspired by William Shakespeare: the symphonic fantasy The Tempest, and the Romeo and Juliet Overture. Like many other symphonies by Brahms, his first was composed for his friends rather than for a larger audience who he thought would have difficulty understanding the work. Despite his fears, it has become one of Brahms most loved and performed orchestral works.

Jill Peckelun Art is the subconscious made conscious, the breath of the familiar into a new vision, the awakening of all senses.

Jill’s work, although she doesn’t like to categorize herself, is realistic with her artistic style heavily influenced by the Impressionists. So accordingly she has influences such as Asian art, the Arts and Crafts movement of the 1890s, the design style of Art Nouveau, and the immediacy of working from real life. Despite bugs, heat, cold, wind, rain and the rest of what goes into transporting materials and supplies to a location, there is nothing in the world like standing in the vista that one is painting. There is a visceral interplay then between an artist and a subject and you become a part of it.

“Painting from life is enthralling.” says Jill.

It makes a difference to Jill to spend so much time in a location. To her she can still smell the air, and feel the heat or cold of the day as she works. She will remember what stops her in her tracks as she is walking, looking, waiting for something to catch her eye.

Beth Bathe Growing up with a father who was a commercial artist, painter, interior designer, and all around “Renaissance man,” art was always a part of Beth’s life. She received a BFA in Communication Arts and Design. Most of her working career has been as a graphic designer. First working for Grafik Communications in Alexandria, VA, she then started her own graphic design business, Bathe Design, which has been successful for thirty years.

Fast forward after raising two kids, taking care of her aging parents, and losing her husband to cancer in 2003, her partner Bill presented her with an easel and oil paints for Christmas in 2008. The paints remained unopened for a year before she finally signed up for her first oil painting class. Since that first day she has never looked back and oil painting has become her new “art.”

When she first started painting, she thought it was something to do. She loved studying, practicing, and watching her paintings evolve. She also started to evolve. She is very involved with plein air competitions. In 2016, she participated in about ten competitions, from Maine to Washington State. Her subject matter includes finding beauty in buildings that are often beyond their prime. They might be abandoned, or derelict, or soon to be part of the vanishing landscape, a barn without a roof, an old garage, a back alley: a fire escape, an old MAR 28 – MAY 3 mill, or an old split rail fence down a country road.

Let’s take an entirely new look at mothers though the ages and their significant role in history, working behind the scenes, guiding their children to a more promising future.

Life of the Mind Dates and Topics 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, 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, 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.

United Church of Christ as a Voice in the Wilderness Founded during the years leading up to the Civil Rights Movement, the United Church of Christ has always strived to be a denomination of inclusiveness.

Unitarian Universalism: Deeds, Not Creeds: Walking Together in Faith From its origins in the American colonies in the seventeenth century, the faith tradition of Unitarian Universalism is based on covenant, not creed: that is, on agreements for how we walk and work together, not on common belief statements. “Deeds, Not Creeds” describes this religion which today draws on many theological sources and embraces commitment to social justice as a critical component of UU identity. In addition to UU covenant, learn about Unitarians, Universalists, and UUs in American history whose commitment to radical justice and freedom has been in the forefront of important social change.

Book Review: Leonardo Da Vinci

Plain Meetinghouses: Lancaster County Old Order Mennonites Gather to Worship The Old Order Mennonites are very faithful Swiss-German Anabaptists who have resided in Lancaster County for over 300 years.

Their meetinghouses are silent representations of their religious traditions, however, few outsiders have been able to experience the simple utilitarian beauty of the interior of these structures. Few know the significance of the the layouts and how that relates to their religious beliefs.

This program shares rare interior photographs of these meetinghouses through special permission.

A tour of at least one meetinghouse and the Muddy Creek Museum & Library is being planned for the week of February 26.

“So Help Me God,” Religion and the Presidents How important has religion been to our presidents? What have been their religious beliefs and affiliations? Who instituted the words “so help me God,” as part of the oath of office? Who first used the phrase “this nation under God?” Who created his own version of the gospels? Which President arranged for military chaplains and commanded the troops to attend Sunday services? Who served as a preacher in his early years? Which presidents never joined a church?

An Upcoming Memorable Event in 2020: The Oberammergau Passion Play During the 1600s, the feared Bubonic Plague or Black Death was racing across Europe killing millions of people. The people of Oberammergau, Germany prayed to God to spare the citizens of the town and in return they would remember the grace of God forever. The disease avoided the people in Oberammergau, and the people designed and performed the first passion play in 1634 AD. The play has been traditionally performed every 10 years since that time and is scheduled to be presented again in 2020. In this presentation, learn more about the characters as well as the contents of this most historic event.

Inner Relatedness of Arts: Cezanne and Hemingway, Artistic Neighbors When we bring ourselves to any artistic experience, do we wonder how that artist came to find their own inspiration? Ernest Hemingway, perhaps one of the most well-known American writers of the 20th century, was an enormous personality and had a love and curiosity for how and why the French Painter Paul Cezanne pioneered the transition from the 19th-century conceptions of painting to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Join us on a fascinating exploration of how one artist had such a profound effect on the work of another.

Cannons, Muskets, and Paint Brushes The American Revolution occurred during a period in history that had limited resources to record notable events in a visual manner. However, as the cannons and muskets roared, painters turned to the canvas with oils that recorded events and individuals. Men such as Charles Willson Peale, Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, John Trumbull, and Gilbert Stuart give us a glimpse into this period and enhance our understanding of famous men and their accomplishments. In this presentation, take an enlightening visual step back to colonial and revolutionary times.

“Over There” and Back Home: America and World War I One hundred years ago this May, the New World came to the rescue of the Old, as the first of more than two million U.S. troops entered active combat in World War I. This two-part program is designed to be of broad, general interest, covering the causes of the war, its course on the battlefields of Europe, and its impact on American society and culture. From an international perspective, the war ended in a troubled and controversial peace. But it left a proud legacy for people at home, in memories of liberty bonds, victory gardens, and patriotic support for the local boys who joined the fight to defeat German aggression and “make the world safe for democracy.”

Surviving WWII in Nazi’s Germany Abandoned as a toddler in Nazi Germany, American-born Eleanor Isaacson survived bombings, starvation, Russian occupation, and a stint as a child smuggler – all before reaching her teens. Escaping just as the Iron Curtain slammed shut, Eleanor soon discovered that “the land of the free” held as much pain and rejection as the life she’d escaped. Deafness and solitude would become the catalyst leading to glorious womanhood, the love of her life, and the beauty of dance. In the process, she would discover that the ‘invisible friend’ whose presence alone had kept a lost child sane had other names – heavenly Father, loving God, Prince of Peace.

Weston, Cunningham and Adams were all founding members of this group of strongly individualist artists who embraced and promoted landscapes and portraiture, documentary, and even commercial work. Revolutionary in its day, Group f/64 was one of the first modern art movements equally defined by women and men working as equals. From San Francisco, its influence extended internationally, contributing significantly to the recognition of photography as a fine art.
