Mid-Shore AGO Presents Concert Celebrating Fifth Anniversary

January 17, 2020 by Christ Church Easton Leave a Comment

The Mid-Shore Maryland Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will celebrate its fifth anniversary on Monday, January 27 with a concert entitled, “The Organ in Popular Culture”. The concert will demonstrate how the organ has been used in a myriad of venues including the theatre, roller rinks, ball games, the circus, as well as in sacred spaces. The concert will begin at 7:30 pm with doors opening at 7 pm. There is no charge for the concert, but a freewill offering will be received.

Organist Michael T. Britt

The Mid-Shore Maryland Chapter of the AGO began five years ago when Wes Lockfaw, music minister at Easton’s Christ Church and several other church musicians around the mid-shore petitioned the national organization for a charter that was granted early in 2015. Since its beginning, the Mid-Shore Chapter has sponsored numerous concerts, workshops, and social events which have served to support the work of organists, church musicians, and educators in our region. The chapter also underwrites the nationally syndicated radio program “Pipe Dreams” which airs from the campus of Salisbury University through Delmarva public radio each Sunday evening from six until eight pm. In addition to its fifth anniversary concert, the organization hosts and supports a variety of programs in the area including a program later this winter, “Louis Vierne at 150” that will include organ and choral music composed by one of Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral’s most legendary organists. To see further programming, simply search for Mid-Shore MD Chapter American Guild of Organists.

Organist Michael T. Britt, a Baltimore native, is both a frequent recitalist of classical organ literature, and also a performer of theatre organ music. In demand throughout the country as a silent film accompanist, performing for chapters of the American Theatre Organ Society, and, most recently, for the Region III-American Guild of Organists Convention in Baltimore, he has been featured on Maryland Public Television and other televised presentations on the theatre pipe organ and Maryland’s Free State Theatre Organ Society. In 1998, Mr. Britt was invited to perform at Baltimore’s Senator Theatre where he accompanied five silent films for the National Film Registry Tour, which was sponsored in part by the Library of Congress. He has also performed at the Palace Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio; The Paramount Theatre in Anderson, Indiana; The Byrd Theatre in Richmond, Virginia as well as performances at the Capitol Theatre in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. In 2002, he was invited to perform a series of concerts on the recently restored Aeolian pipe organ installed at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, D.C., and in 2005 was invited to Princeton University to accompany the silent film classic, “Phantom of the Opera” at the University Chapel where recently, he completed his fourteenth performance of this annual event.

In May of 2009, Britt gave a recital on the great Cavaille-Coll organ at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris and in 2017, was invited to perform at the Riverside Church in New York City. Since 2012, he has served as Minister of Music and organist at Brown Memorial Park Avenue Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, Maryland. He is also on the faculty at the Community College of Baltimore County and serves as Organist at Beth-El Congregation as well as house organist at the Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederick, Maryland.

The Anderson Twins Return for a Romantic Evening of Jazz

January 16, 2020 by Becca Newell Leave a Comment

Skip the roses this Valentine’s Day for something a little more improvisational: a romantic evening of jazz, courtesy of saxophonists and clarinetists Peter and Will Anderson.

A highly anticipated follow-up to their swingin’ performance in late 2018,“My Funny Valentine: The Love Songs of Richard Rodgers” will take place on Saturday, February 15th, at the Prager Auditorium in Easton. The show will begin at 8 p.m.

The Anderson Twins

The Anderson Twins—who the New York Times calls “virtuosos on clarinet and saxophone”—hail from Bethesda, Md., where they attended Walt Whitman High School before moving to New York City for the Juilliard School. And while they continue to call the City their home, they enjoy returning to Maryland, particularly Easton, to perform.

“The passion the community has for real jazz is heartwarming and inspiring,” says Will.

Joining the twins on stage are guitarist Adam Moezinia, drummer Kevin McDonald, and bassist Blake Meister. Rounding out the ensemble is vocalist Lena Seikaly, whose connection to Peter and Will stems back to high school.

“We love Lena,” exclaims Will. “We actually performed with her often when we were in high school, in the ‘Capital Focus Jazz Band.’”

Named “one of Washington’s preeminent jazz singers” by The Washington Post, Seikaly is renowned her traditional and contemporary jazz vocals. Her approach to the genre and flawless technique provide the perfect accompaniment to the Twins’ imaginative stylings and extraordinary talent.

Lena Seikaly

“She has a deep appreciation and dedication to the Great American Songbook and vocalists, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughn,” adds Will.

The musicians will celebrate the life and music of Richard Rodgers—one of the most notable American composers,recognized as a visionary for his impact on musical theatre. The performance will showcase gems from his songwriting partnerships with lyricists Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein, including “My Favorite Things,” “It Might As Well be Spring,” “Have You Met Miss Jones?,” and, of course, the titular “My Funny Valentine.”

“Rodgers’ melodies are so pure and simple, yet unpredictable that they delight everyone from the casual listener to music fanatic,” says Will.“[His] music is loved by many in the worlds of Broadway, jazz, and popular music.”

Presented by Jazz on the Chesapeake, a program of Chesapeake Music, My Funny Valentine, will begin at 8 p.m. Saturday, February 15th, at the Prager Auditorium in Easton. General admission tickets are $45; sponsor reserved seats are $100. To purchase, call 410-819-0380 or visit Jazzonthechesapeake.com.

Garfield Center for the Arts Board of Trustees Announce New Executive Director

January 14, 2020 by Garfield Center Leave a Comment

The Garfield Center for the Arts Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the selection of Steven Arnold as the Garfield Center’s new Executive Director. After an extensive search, the board recently voted unanimously to offer the position to Arnold. Arnold brings with him more than 25 years of extensive arts administration, set design, lighting and tech, directorial and acting experience including over 70 theatrical productions.

Mel Rapelyea, Vice President, Garfield Center for the Arts Board of Trustees said “We are destined to bring a variety of art productions to the Garfield that appeal to the diversity in our community. Steve’s experience and familiarity with this area, we feel, will bring us closer to this goal which reflects our mission.”

Arnold is very familiar with the Eastern Shore theatre community as he was formerly the Executive Director at Church Hill Theatre. During his time there, he directed 2008’s Once on this Island, 2009’s Triumph of Love and 2010’s The Eight: Reindeer Monologues and Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol. He is probably most remembered for the highly successful production of The Rocky Horror Show also in 2010.

Arnold hopes to continue his past efforts to connect with the arts community, share resources and build relationships between producing organizations and to bring new collaborations and cooperations to the Garfield and local arts community.

Arnold has worked in the field of theatre and community arts at a number of venues before and following his time at Church Hill Theatre including Woodford Theatre in Kentucky and The Mansfield Playhouse in Ohio. Originally born in Dayton, Ohio, and a high school graduate of Severna Park Senior High School, in Severna Park, Maryland, he holds a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre degree from The Ohio State University.

As a co-founder of Live Playwrights’ Society (with Lucia Foster and Mark Sullivan), Arnold continued to participate and premiere original works in the Garfield’s annual Short Attention Span Theatre 10-minute play festival, even from afar.

“The idea of coming back to the Eastern Shore and reconnecting with its passionate and talented Arts community is a dream come true for me,” Arnold said. “Of all the places I’ve lived in and pursued my work in the Arts, my time on the Eastern Shore felt most like home. And to come back to work on behalf of the Garfield Center for the Arts, an organization I have long respected and admired, is even more exciting. It’s wonderful to return to a community that I know and love, but to be a new leader in the Garfield’s long and distinguished historical and cultural heritage is icing on the cake.”

Along with his Executive Director responsibilities, Arnold will continue to spearhead the Garfield’s highly regarded Playmakers’ Summer Theatre Camp. Growing the Garfield’s volunteer base, expanding community outreach, and building strong relationships with other leading arts organizations will also be a priority.

Arnold, who now resides in Chestertown, began work at the Garfield on January 6. The Garfield Board will hold a “Meet & Greet” from 5-8pm on February 7 during Chestertown’s First Friday to introduce Steve Arnold and highlight volunteer opportunities at the Garfield.

“I’ve always believed that volunteerism is the life-blood of non-profit organizations and the friendships and camaraderie formed make the theatre a home for everyone – so please come join us!” says Arnold.

Shore Arts: MSO Selects Winner of Elizabeth Loker Competition

January 13, 2020 by Steve Parks Leave a Comment

The winner of the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra’s inaugural Elizabeth Loker Concerto Competition is Joseph McNure, a 22-year-old graduate student in music at the University of Maryland College Park, whose instrument of choice is the alto saxophone.

Joseph McNure

McNure was awarded $2,000 and a three-concert reprise in March of the winning performance of Paul Creston’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone, along with the full orchestra performing Mozart’s Symphony No. 33. The Creston concerto was a bold choice, composed by an Italian-American born to Sicilian immigrant parents in 1905. Creston died in 1985, and although he was a prolific composer whose work was widely performed through the 1950s, he was better known as a teacher in his later years. McNure interpreted the piece in an original classical jazz format, ranging from frantic piercing to quieter riffs that seemed to evoke familiar refrains you think you know but can’t quite place.

McNure, a Virginia Beach native, was the last of six finalists to perform Thursday night, January 9, at the Avalon Theatre in Easton. Six competitors were selected among about 40 applicants who were judged in December based on audio performances submitted to an MSO team. The team led by Terry Ewell, graduate director of music at Towson University, also consisted of Dane Krich, the orchestra’s general manager, and Julian Benichou, its music director. Ewell and Benichou were judges of the final round of the competition, while Krich emceed the evening’s proceedings.

While McNure said he was “thrilled” to win the competition, he’s been a winner before—capturing top honors in the University of Maryland Concerto Competition last fall.

Second-place was won by Joshua Lauretig, 25, who performed the oboe solo of Vivaldi’s Concerto in C Major. Honorable mention went to 12-year-old Sophia Lin of Longfellow Middle School in Virginia, performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 17 in G Major. The other contestants were saxophonist Tae Ho Twang playing Alexander Glazunov’s Concerto in E-flat Major and cellists Yejin Hong and Eunghee Cho, both of whom performed, separately, Dvorak’s Cello Concerto.

In the awards presentation, Maestro Benichou noted that music competitions are not to be compared to athletic battles in that each contestant in music is out to play one’s best rather than to defeat fellow musicians. In solo competitions, he said, “We don’t learn music so much as learn about ourselves.”

Benichou also paid tribute to the competition’s namesake, the late Elizabeth Loker, longtime Easton supporter of the orchestra who bequeathed a gift to the MSO in her will.

As the winner of this first annual Elizabeth Loker Concerto Competition, Joseph McNure, will perform his triumphant Paul Creston piece with the orchestra, also performing the Mozart symphony, on March 5 at the Easton Church of God, March 7 at Ocean View Church of Christ, Ocean View, Delaware, and March 8 at the Community Church in Ocean Pines, Maryland. Tickets: $45, 888-846-8600.

The Kent County Arts Council is Announcing Some Exciting Changes for 2020

January 11, 2020 by Kent County Arts Council Leave a Comment

As of January 1, 2020 the Kent County Arts Council will be known as the Kent Cultural Alliance, with a simple vision of Celebrating Creativity, Connecting Communities, Sharing Conversation. More than a year in the making, the Board of Directors, led by President Clark Bjorke, and Director John Schratwieser are thrilled to release the new name and logo (Designed by Kent County native, Kate Livie of Alosa Communications) as they begin the next chapter in the now 45 year old organization. Founded in 1975 by Vincent Raimond, and then led from 1989 to 2017 by Leslie Prince Raimond the arts council is the official designee of the Maryland State Arts Council for the purpose of regranting state arts funding and for supporting the artistic and cultural health of the County.

In January of 2018 Schratwieser took on the role of director after Mrs. Raimond’s retirement. It was immediately announced that the organization had purchased the historic Mansfield/Eliasson house located at 101 Spring Avenue in Chestertown and would begin a campaign to raise funds to fully renovate the space as a center for arts and culture. To date, the Kent Cultural Alliance has raised more than $850,000 toward its $1.2 million goal. They are very excited to enter in to the final public phase of the campaign which will allow multiple opportunities for support at all levels of giving ability. The center will be called the Vincent & Leslie Prince Raimond Center for Arts & Culture honoring the couple’s half-century commitment to increasing the quality of life in Kent County.

The building renovation project is being led by Kent County’s “master builder” Bob Ingersoll, in partnership with Barton Ross Architects and Jay Silcox Engineering. Major funding has been received from Maryland Heritage Area Stories of the Chesapeake, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development and the Shared Earth Foundation with additional support from many generous community members. The first phase of renovation, a new foundation, has been completed by Paul Roberts Construction of Worton, MD and bids are now going out for a contractor to execute the final phase, the internal and external build, as represented in artistic renderings done by Barton Ross and Jay Silcox.

The new Logo was a collaborative effort between Ms. Livie and several members of the KCA’s Board of Directors and it incorporates a popular and historic quilt pattern known as “Flying Geese”. “What better symbol, to represent an organization who’s mission it is to bring people together, through art, culture, and collective history, than a quilt” said Director John Schratwieser. “Quilts are instantly recognizable, they reflect cross generational and cross cultural qualities, and they literally and figuratively wrap us together as one people. Selecting the ‘Flying Geese’ pattern was a natural choice for anyone who knows and loves this county we call home.”

In the coming weeks and months a new website will launch, new grant opportunities will be developed and new partnerships will be announced.
