PLEASE NOTE: Talk availability is subject to the availability of our volunteer docents. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences. Talk Topics Abraham Lincoln in Buffalo & Western New York Buffalo’s presidential history is arguably the country’s most significant, with exception of Washington D.C. We are well aware that Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland were residents and political stalwarts of Buffalo when elected, and that William McKinley was assassinated and Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated here in September 1901. But what about Abraham Lincoln? Is there a chapter in Western New York’s presidential book regarding his presence and legacy? This talk will reveal the answers to these questions as it describes Lincoln’s four visits to Buffalo and Western New York. Art’s Up: The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy (BFAA) and its Impact Near and Far The parent organization of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery is the BFAA which was established in 1862 and for over 150 years has been an ambassador for Buffalo — locally, nationally, and globally. In this talk, we will briefly review BFAA’s history, including key events and “firsts” such as being the first major art museum to have a woman director. We’ll focus on a selection of people throughout the years who’ve had significant influence, such as our own “Monuments Men” who helped recover Nazi-looted art during World War II.

Brown, Kleinhans Music Hall Management, Inc. Denise Prince, Erie Community College Kleinhans Music Hall, a National Historic Landmark, was built at the behest of philanthropists Edward and Mary Kleinhans. Constructed during the height of the Great Depression, Kleinhans received additional funds from the Public Works Administration. World-renowned architect Eliel Saarinen (1873-1950), with assistance from son Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) and Charles Eames (1907- 1978), designed a modern masterpiece destined to become the home of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Acoustical considerations affecting Saarinen’s design and the resulting acoustics of the hall will be discussed. This tour explores the music hall, including its backstage areas and other behind-the-scenes spaces, as well as the hall’s picturesque setting on Frederick Law Olmsted’s “Symphony” Circle.

  • Paul Srodecki, Antemurale Christianitatis
    LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 22 2018 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 170–173 Paul Srodecki, Antemurale Christianitatis: Zur Genese der Bollwerksrheto- rik im östlichen Mitteleuropa an der Schwelle vom Mittelalter zur Frühen Neuzeit (Ser.: Historische Studien, Bd. 508), Husum: Matthiesen Verlag. 2015. 532 p. ISBN 978-3-7868-1508-2 This monograph represents the first comprehensive treatment of the Bul- wark of Christendom rhetorical device used so extensively during the Middle Ages and Early Modern times in order to face down the ‘other’ for the sake of your own raison d’être. So far, this phenomenon has been known largely from its individual incarnations from country to country, while its transnational ghost was hovering in the air waiting for someone to pin it down. Paul Srodecki has done this. Starting as a doctoral thesis, it grew to become a detailed and thoroughly documented study that offers a panoramic view of East Central Europe through the lens of the Bulwark ideology. The phenomenon spread across Europe, but it was especially prominent in countries of Medieval and Early Modern Christendom that bordered on other cultural areas, either Muslim or Greek Orthodox lands (pp. 14–15). Along with the Iberian Peninsula, Austria, Venice and Croatia, three other Catholic polities stand out: the Teutonic Ordensstaat in Prussia and Livonia, Poland, and Hungary, and they have won the most attention from the author. A special point of interest is presented by the Romanian principalities of Walachia and Moldavia that from the 14th century onwards found themselves placed precariously between their Catholic neighbours (Hungary and Poland) and the Ottomans.
