Historycenter HISTORYCENTER IT WAS 36 YEARS AGO TODAY. %J|eorge Washington has left the building! The History Center's blockbuster George Washington: The Man Behind the Myths exhibit is now, well, history. Thousands of museum visitors enjoyed the show, born as a collaboration among the Virginia Historical Society, Smithsonian Institution, and George Washington's Mount Vernon. During the run of the exhibition, History Center attendance increased by 47 percent and school tours by 178 percent. Extended hours and special tours were added to accommodate the crowds determined to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They were not disappointed. Exit surveys indicate visitors were especially impressed with the national art treasures and rare artifacts including George's false teeth, the Celeron plate, and General Brad- dock's bloody sash. Now get ready for another "British Invasion." In 1964, the Beatles took Pittsburgh by storm, entertaining a standing-room-only crowd at the Civic (Mellon) Arena. y Now at the History Center, you can relive those exciting times through an exhibit from the Newseum in Arlington, Virginia. In addition to extraordinary photos of the Fab Four, you will find artifacts and a special video featuring long-lost footage of their Pittsburgh tour. The History Center willbe a great place for family fun this holiday season. See you there! Andrew E.

    nvitatione Invitationewas formed in 2011 by a group of local musicians and music teachers, and aims to provide high quality live music in local venues, and to create enjoyable and varied performing experiences for our players and singers. We have performed large and small scale concerts in churches in Hull, Beverley and Driffield, raising money for charities and good causes. Highlights include our concert for Amnesty International which raised over £2,000, and the semi-staged Messiah performed in Holy Trinity Church, Hull, at Easter 2012. Tonight’s eclectic programme is our most ambitious enterprise yet. The idea to explore, rehearse and perform Shostakovich’s Symphony no. 5 was sparked by Wyke students, for whom the Symphony is their A2 set work. Could we perform it? Yes, with a little help from our friends. An invitation was issued to all schools and orchestras in the area, and Hull University, to come and join us. Beverley Minster Enterprise came on board because of the project’s educational and community priorities. Tonight we have an orchestra of 73 players, representing 9 schools and colleges, the University, both the Hull and East Riding Music Services, and several local orchestras and ensembles. Our youngest player is 11, and the oldest are in their retirement. The ensembles appearing in the first half represent groups and institutions who responded to the additional invitation to make an individual musical contribution to the concert, as well as bringing players to the Symphony. We believe this to be a unique event; the general feedback from participants is that they would like to repeat it.
