Jay Ungar and Molly Mason Oct 23 JAY UNGAR & MOLLY MASON Are Musicians of Enormous Talent Volume 37, No. 10 October 2011 MadFolk and Wisc Union Theatre bringing Jay Ungar and Molly Mason Oct 23 JAY UNGAR & MOLLY MASON are musicians of enormous talent. Their love for music is infectious, and their expertise is superlative. With violin, mandolin, guitar, banjo and piano - not to mention their beautiful vocals - the two delight audiences wherever they go. ay Ungar and Molly Mason achieved interna- Jtional acclaim when their performance of Jay’s composition, Ashokan Farewell, became the mu- sical hallmark of Ken Burns’ “The Civil War” on PBS. The soundtrack won a Grammy and Ashokan Farewell was nominated for an Emmy. The piece was originally inspired by Jay & Molly’s Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps in New York’s Catskill Mountains, which are still going strong today. Jay and Molly draw their repertoire and in- spiration from a wide range of American musical styles: 19th-century classics, lively Appalachian, Cajun and Celtic fiddle tunes, and favorites from the golden age of country and swing, along with their own compositions. They have appeared on Great Performances, A Prairie Home Companion, their own public radio specials, and on film soundtracks such as Broth- er’s Keeper, Legends of the Fall, and a host of Ken Burns’ PBS documentaries. They’ve had the honor of performing at the White House for two sitting Presidents.

Benson, curators Silent Films/Live Guitars HOWARD FISHMAN Buster Keaton’s The Frozen North (1922, 17 minutes) Intermission CALIFONE Buster Keaton’s Go West (1925, 69 minutes) TIM RUTILI, JIM BECKER, BEN MASSARELLA and JOE ADAMIK About the Artists Howard Fishman began his career on the streets of New Orleans and in the subways of NYC, experiences that still resonate in his “disarmingly un-showbizy” concerts (Backstage). A pioneer of the Brooklyn music scene, Fishman “brings a feeling to a room that is reunion-like. Everyone there is part of a community…it can’t be helped.” (11211 Magazine). A testament to his wide-ranging appeal, Fishman has appeared on bills with such diverse artists as Odetta, Yo-Yo Ma, Maceo Parker, Robyn Hitchcock, Taj Mahal and Allen Holdsworth. He is a frequent NPR guest, making feature-length appearances on Fresh Air, World Cafe, Leonard Lopate and Word of Mouth, and has recently been featured as a headlining performer in the American Songbook at Lincoln Center, The Steppenwolf Theatre and at Duke Performances in North Carolina. Fishman’s travels and omnivorous curiosity inform his constantly-expanding repertoire of special projects, from his original oratorio we are destroyed, about The Donner Party, to his multi-media travelogue No Further Instructions, to his New Orleans- inspired Biting Fish Brass Band. His tenth CD, Moon Country, was released in October. Howard Fishman is a storyteller, a seeker, a cultural anthropologist, and “an important force in creative music” (allmusic.com).

  • 174Th Historic Preservation Meeting Notes (Pdf)
    6 December 2108 State Board for Historic Preservation Meeting NYS Library Board Room Presentation by William Krattinger ROBINWOOD HISTORIC DISTRICT The Robinwood Historic District consists of 21 mid-century Modern houses erected as the centerpiece of a unified housing development in the mid-1960s in the Town of Ossining, Westchester County, and one preexisting house which was modified in association with the new development. The houses which form this cohesive housing enclave were designed by Harry Wenning, an MIT-trained architect, in collaboration with developer Marcel Robins. For the Robinwood houses, Wenning authored designs which were stylistically contemporary and well-integrated with their immediate site and natural surroundings. Although the various houses within the district feature relatively uniform setbacks from the road, their relationship to the physical traits of their individual parcels, and not their relationship to other adjacent houses, was the critical factor in the manner in which they were oriented. Many of the houses are elevated above the level of the roadway and feature consistent landscape elements such as grassy lawns, mature deciduous and coniferous trees, and ornamental plantings. Wenning’s Robinwood designs, characterized by their straightforward geometric massing, post-and-beam construction and large window expanses, maximized the interaction between house and landscape, one of their foremost and most enduring qualities. These houses incorporated features necessary for efficient and economical construction

  • American Road Trip
    Quapaw Quartet Presents American Road Trip New York City, New York (George Gershwin) Washington D.C. (John Philip Sousa) Nashville, Tennessee (Jay Ungar and Molly Mason) Texarkana, Arkansas (Scott Joplin) Los Angeles/ Hollywood, California (Carl Stalling) George Gershwin George Gershwin was one of the most significant American composers of the 20th century, known for popular stage and screen music as well as classical compositions. He was born Jacob Gershowitz on September 26, 1898, in Brooklyn, New York. The son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, George began to play piano at age eleven. His teacher, Charles Hambitzer wrote, “I have a new pupil who will make his mark if anybody will.” Beginning at age fifteen, Gershwin played in several New York nightclubs and as a ‘song plugger’ for one of Tin Pan Alley’s music publishers. After three years of doing this, he had become a highly skilled composer. To earn extra cash, he also worked as a rehearsal pianist for Broadway singers. In 1916, he composed his first published song. Gershwin wrote numerous songs for stage and screen that quickly became standards, including “Oh, Lady Be Good!” “Someone to Watch over Me,” “Strike Up the Band,” “Embraceable You” and “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off.” [Listen to them on YouTube.] In 1925, he composed “Rhapsody in Blue” for piano and orchestra, which became his most often-performed work. Ten years later, his most ambitious composition, “Porgy and Bess” was staged. Gershwin called it his “folk opera” and it is considered to be among the most important American musical dramas of the 20th century.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • From the Emerald Lands of Mist and Myth Comes the Music of Celtic Traditions
    From the emerald lands of mist and myth comes the music of Celtic traditions. Maestro Wes Kenney and the Fort Collins Symphony invite you to enjoy the virtual on-demand concert Celtic Fantasy. Featuring a variety of traditional and contemporary Celtic music for strings, winds, piano, and percussion this concert will highlight the broad symphonic traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, and Galicia. A wealth of Celtic folk songs, jigs, reels, hornpipes, and airs emigrated to Appalachia where this unique genre has influenced American music for more than 300 years. This concert includes: Joan Trimble’sIrish Suite for Strings, Jay Ungar’s Ashokan Farewell (from Ken Burn’s award-winning documentary The Civil War), Gaelic Storm’s An Irish Party in Third Class (from the movie Titanic), Jennifer Barker’s Suilean a’Chloinne (Children’s Eyes), Arthur Duff’s Irish Suite for Strings, Victor Herbert’s Yesterthoughts, and Gwyneth Walker’s Light of Three Mornings. Finally, Herbert’s Punchinello, while not exactly Celtic, is a chipper and cheerful concert bonus (think mischief- making leprechauns!). The Fort Collins Symphony Association is deeply grateful to our Friends of the Symphony whose financial support helped make it possible for us to present the Celtic Fantasy concert. With appreciation, we acknowledge the following FoS donors: Oren & Jennifer Anderson . Karel Applebee . Kathleen Batterton . David & Alison Dennis Fund* .

    National Park Service U.S Department of the Interior Washington Support Office: Cultural Resources, Partnerships and Science Interpretation, Education and Volunteers Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration Summary Report DEDICATION This report honors all those who suffered and died in this nation’s struggles for freedom and equality. It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.
