Page 11 This beautiful poplar tree sculpture was installed in the Main Street lobby at StoneRidge Poplar Run on August 2. It was crafted by William Johnson, owner and artist at Iron Nature in Annville, a company that creates unique metal sculptures that reflect the nature of our Creator and the beauty of our natural world. The tree is just over 12 feet tall and seven feet at its canopy. It contains 440 brass and copper leaves, which were all hand cut with a plasma torch and then stamped to create the veins which gives each leaf its three-dimensional appearance. FALL 2016 The trunk is made from steel which was heated and forged into the curvatures and textures needed to give the tree its realistic look. Bill has been doing this type of work for 15 years, and he focuses on themes of nature, sports and the Christian faith. Among his unique projects is a six foot in diameter crown of thorns which hangs in the lobby of a church in Jonestown. 2 | FALL 2016 Angel Bakers Making Heavenly Treats The residents at Church of God Home in Carlisle have been busy baking fun food and making our overseas soldiers very happy.

    PETULA CLARK AND JOSEPH MILLSON JOIN THE CAST OF DISNEY AND CAMERON MACKINTOSH’S MULTI AWARD-WINNING M A R Y P O P P I N S Cameron Mackintosh and Disney are delighted to announce that Petula Clark and Joseph Millson will join the Company to play the Bird Woman and George Banks in the new production of Mary Poppins, which returns to its original West End home at the Prince Edward Theatre from 23 October 2019. They join the previously announced Zizi Strallen in the title role and Charlie Stemp as Bert. The magical story of the world’s favourite Nanny arriving on Cherry Tree Lane has been triumphantly and spectacularly brought to the stage with dazzling choreography, incredible effects and unforgettable songs. The stage version of Mary Poppins, brilliantly adapted from the wonderful stories by PL Travers and the original beloved Walt Disney film, continues to be a smash hit around the world since it opening in London 15 years ago. Petula Clark became a star in the UK at nine years old singing for the troops stationed in England during World War II. Many years later she moved to France and soon became an European star recording in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. While still living in Paris, English songwriter Tony Hatch presented her with his new composition, Downtown, which became a worldwide hit and led to a string of top ten records, winning her two Grammy awards and making her an international star. She later met with Charlie Chaplin who penned one of her further major hits This Is My Song.

  • QUINCY SYMPHONY CHORUS PROGRAM NOTES British Invasion ~ March 9, 2019 Dr
    QUINCY SYMPHONY CHORUS PROGRAM NOTES British Invasion ~ March 9, 2019 Dr. Carol Mathieson Andrew Lloyd Webber relaunched musical theatre in the 1960’s in ways that welcomed electronic technology and rock music without allowing ephemeral fads to highjack well-crafted composition. And audiences responded, with younger aficionados swelling the general flock to the theatres. Tonight’s medley follows chronologically from earliest efforts with Tim Rice to turn Jesus Christ, Superstar— a scripture story recast in rock, produced as a concept album with basic plot, all the songs, and minimal dialog—into a stage show, opening in London’s West End. It was a mega-hit. Soon after came Evita about the Perón dictatorship in Argentina. Rice did not feel comfortable remolding established writing into lyrics, so for Cats, Lloyd Webber went directly to T.S. Eliot’s poetry. Song and Dance is a short musical play with lyrics by Don Black, paired with a short ballet with music Lloyd Webber wrote for his cellist brother Julien as variations on a Paganini caprice. However, Phantom of the Opera, with Charles Hart lyrics, was back to high drama. Phantom smashed attendance records in both London and New York, running for decades. Tonight’s medley opens and closes with songs from that iconic show. Nineteenth-century English musical theatre consisted of cheerful song and dance revues or badly translated, risqué French burlesques until Gilbert and Sullivan brought satirical, silly Savoy Operas to a family-friendly stage. QSC sings highlights from the first and the final masterpieces of these saviors of both the English and American musical stage.
