A Visit to the Brauer Museum Of THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 20, Number 37 Thursday, September 23, 2004 A Visit to the Brauer Museum of Art by Paula McHugh Under the mentorship of Phil Brockington and Howard Reeve, The Beacher recently received a double-your-pleasure, front-and-center, and behind-the-scenes look at the collection of art- works at the Brauer Museum of Art on the campus of Valparaiso University. Docents Phil and Howard, both retired from their V.U. positions as law professor and library maintenance staff respectively, arranged a tour for us of the current exhibits upstairs as well as a visit to the vault room downstairs. And what Beacher readers might want to know before we proceed any further is that they, too can arrange a similar tour. All it takes is a phone call, which is provided at the end of this article. Phil and Howard led us to the “backstage” first. On our way down a back staircase, we came across paintings (prints, we assume) by Ed Paschke and Georgia O’Keefe, and others at each landing—a splash of culture in an oth- erwise drab, gray stairwell. This is not to say that the Brauer does not have a Paschke or O’Keefe in its perma- nent collection, because it does. And it has an Asher Durand, a Fredric Church, and several etchings by this writer’s former Galena neighbor, illustrator Art Geisert. On a level below the public gallery, we met museum Director/Curator Gregg Hertzlieb who proudly pointed out 16 recently acquired paintings given to the Brauer Museum by the estate of Bloomington art dealer Jack Finley. Finley, who collect- ed works of Indiana artists, specified that these works were to be divided and endowed to four galleries in Indiana: Museum Director/Curator Gregg Hertzlieb holds up a Frank Dudley winter dunes landscape, one of 16 paintings donated by V.U., IU-South Bend, DePauw, and Michigan City’s own the estate of Jack Finley. Finley was a Bloomington art dealer Lubeznik Center for the Arts. who bequeathed paintings to V.U., IU-South Bend, DePauw University and the Lubeznik Center for the Arts in Michigan City.

Gregg also showed us a color photograph of Dudley’s land- scape, which the artist had taken as a study. Gregg then took a set of keys and unlocked the vault. As we stepped inside the windowless room, the cura- tor rolled out for us a grid filled with a treasure trove of other Dudley originals. For readers who might be unfamiliar with Dudley’s works, the artist chose dunes landscapes as his subject matter because, in his words, “it is without doubt the most important of the few remaining spots of primitive landscape in the Middle West.” Dudley spoke those words around 1920. When we were finished oohing and aahing over the Dudley’s, Gregg rolled out a panel filled with the portrait work of Junius R. Sloan. And this is Gregg then took a set of keys and unlocked the vault.

The Sloan collection, they said, was given to the university near- ly half a century ago by the artist’s sur- viving son, Percy. According to the docents, the gift of Percy Sloan, which consisted of 276 of his father’s works, was first offered to Northwestern University. “Northwestern turned it down,” Phil said, explaining that the Illinois insti- tution did not consider the collection at that time to be important. O.B. Kretzmann, who was VU’s President at the time of the offer, saw the poten- tial for building a collection and gladly accepted Percy Sloan’s gift, which includ- ed an additional 107 American paintings plus a large monetary endowment for maintaining and expanding the collec- Docents Phil Brockington and Howard Reeve pointed out the relationships of Junius Sloan to tion.

Visitors to the gallery can view selected works of Sloan’s landscapes on a solo trip to the museum or as part of a docent-guided tour. The advantage of a guided tour allows visitors the opportunity to learn about the social context of the paintings’ time peri- od. Until October 10th, the exhibit, “Indiana Painters from the Lilly Endowment Collection”, featuring works of TC Steele, Adams, and Forsyth, are on dis- play in an adjacent gallery room; and a Charles E.

Described by critics as a “lyrical” pianist with “impeccable technique” (The Record), she has been heard in prestigious venues worldwide including Carnegie Hall, Salle Gaveau (Paris) and Victoria Hall (Geneva). She has appeared as a concerto soloist with the Philips Symphony Orchestra in Amsterdam, and with the Piracicaba Symphony Orchestra in Brazil. Arakawa’s interest in Spanish repertoire grew out of a series of lessons with Alicia de Larrocha in 2004. She has subsequently recorded solo and chamber pieces by Spanish and Latin American composers (LAMC Record), under the sponsorship of the Spanish Embassy as a prizewinner at the Latin American Music Competition. An avid chamber musician, she has collaborated with such artists as cellists Colin Carr and Gary Hoffman, flutists Jean Ferrandis and Marina Piccinini, clarinetist James Campbell, and the Penderecki Quartet.

  • American Violinist Rachel Barton Pine: 'Relaxing Music Makes Me Tense'
    THE STRAITS TIMES American violinist Rachel Barton Pine: 'Relaxing music makes me tense' Virtuoso violinist Rachel Barton Pine is known for her intepretations of music by composers such as Bach and Paganini, and used to play in the thrash/doom heavy metal band Earthen Grave. PHOTO: COURTESY OF SINGAPORE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PUBLISHED OCT 14, 2019, 5:30 PM SGT Toh Wen Li (mailto:[email protected]) SINGAPORE - What do heavy metal and classical music have in common? A lot more than you think, suggests virtuoso violinist Rachel Barton Pine, who has had a lifelong passion for both. The 45-year-old Chicago native is known for her intepretations of music by composers such as Bach and Paganini, and used to play in the thrash/doom heavy metal band Earthen Grave. Speaking to The Straits Times over the phone last week from a hotel room in Salt Lake City, where she was due to perform, Pine rattles off a list of rock and heavy metal artists - from Scorpions' former lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth, to Marty Friedman of heavy metal band Megadeth - who were inspired by classical music, drawn to the emotional intensity and bombast of Romantic-era works. Paganini's Caprices "set the standard for all the fancy notes you can do on the instrument", she adds, referring to the Italian virtuoso's fiendishly difficult solos for the violin. Pine who started playing the violin at the age of three and listening to hard rock and heavy metal when she was 10 years old, says: "After practising violin all day, I couldn't really relax by listening to classical music, because I would still be analysing it too much.

  • Historical Performance Practice at the Beginning of the New Millennium
    Historical Performance Practice at the beginning of the new millennium Dorottya Fabian An interest in early music and performing practices of the past has a long history by now. Its characteristics in the nineteenth century have been mapped by several authors, especially in relation to the revival of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music, the Cecilian Movement and various musical developments in England. Even more pub- lications are available on its twentieth-century history.1 The initiatives during the early decades (e.g. the organ and recorder movements of the 1920s, the establish- ing of the Schola Cantorum in Basel in 1933) and the contribution of pioneers like Wanda Landowska and Arnold Dolmetsch have been extensively studied togeth- er with lesser-known figures, places and institutions.2 But as is well-known, it was during the second half of the twentieth century that the Early Music or Historically Informed Performance Movement has truly taken off, becoming a major force in the world of classical music. Many books and papers have been dedicated to the history of this development, its various phases, musical characteristics, key figures, aesthetic outlook and philosophical assumptions, and its achievements. There was a burgeon- ing of such literature and heated debates during the 1980s and 1990s followed by more comprehensive and ‘corrective’ analyses published during the early years of the 2000s, most focussing on the second half of the twentieth century.3 Much less has 1 Harry Haskell, The Early Music Revival – A History, London 1988; George B.

  • Pmf Forgoes August Symphony Series; 3-Concert Recital Series to Replace for 2021
    10431 N. Water Street P.O. Box 340 Ephraim, WI 54211 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Christoph Ptack April 12, 2021 Executive Director PMF FORGOES AUGUST SYMPHONY SERIES; 3-CONCERT RECITAL SERIES TO REPLACE FOR 2021 Wisconsin’s Peninsula Music Festival has been a musical Tradition of Distinction in Door County for nearly seven decades; and although this report may come as no surprise, it has now been made official. Due to many uncertainties concerning the safety and viability of producing the August Series, the Board of Directors and I have concluded that the health and welfare of our patrons and artistic constituencies must continue to take precedent over all else. It goes without saying that everyone at PMF is saddened over having to make this decision for a second time, but we are happy to be able to tell you about our plans for this summer, and beyond. Fortunately, the excitement surrounding the 2021 Series programming will remain intact, as all 5 conductors, 10 guest artists, and 29 pieces of répertoire will migrate as-is to our 70th season and be presented August 2-20, 2022. Nothing is lost, just enjoyed at a later date! In its place will be a 3-concert Recital Series featuring distinguished members of the Festival Orchestra at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor. The hour-long string and piano concerts will be presented on the Thursday evenings of August 5, 12, and 19, 2021 at 7:30pm. As with our successful February Series, masks will be required at all times, temperature scans will be taken upon arrival, and seating will be socially distanced allowing for 45 patrons at each event.
