Elizabeth Miller 06,20124:13 PM 2, 2012. 1941. ARTWORKS Elizabeth Miller From: Elizabeth Miller [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 06,20124:13 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Arts & the Military Dear Casey: I wanted to share with you some of the recent National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) programs that support our men and women serving in the military. The latest issue of the NEA's magazine, The Soul of America: The Arts ond the Militarv, highlights two new NEA initiatives for our troops: Operation Homecoming, the ground breaking inclusion of creative writing and visual arts therapies in the clinical treatment of troops at Walter Reed's National Intrepid Center for Excellence (NICoE). This is a landmark partnership between the NEA and the Department of Defense to help troops cope with a range of physical and psychological ailments, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury. Blue Star Museums, a program that grants free museum admission to our active duty service members and their families during the summer. Your active duty military constituents can still take advantage of this program at over 1,800 participating museums through Labor Day, September 2, 2012. The publication also takes a look at several historic intersections of the arts and the military: combat visual artists programs of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, the men and women who serve in the 158 U.S. military bands, and the work that the USO-a 2011 recipient of the National Medal of the Arts-does to bring great artists to our troops since 1941. I hope you enjoy reading about the shared history of the military and the arts, as well as the latest innovations in bringing arts therapy into the ongoing care of our troops. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like more information regarding this or any other matter concerning the NEA. Thank you, Liz Miller ARTWORKS, Ill" \;'l!1�\ f!allk" C<:!][t'f Ii 00 ['cflll'lhafll.t .·\\'Cllllt' �--J\X! \\.I.-.hin",lOf!. !)( . :()'i()(d)()O I NATIONAL :02!(,x: 'i-I i,t ENDOWMENT FOR THEARTS A great ndtlon deserves great art. Dana Gioia Chairmml January 13. 2009 The Honorable Paul D_ Ryan United States House of Representatives Washington. DC 20515 Dear Representative Ryan: I wanted to make certain that you had a copy of this important new reading survey from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). This report provides the first truly good news in a quarter century a substantial and almost universal rise in adult literary reading. (""Literary reading" is a good surrogate for general reading since it measures adults who have read any novel. short story. poem or play in the past twelve months.) Conducted in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau. the survey found that between 2002 and 2008: • Literary reading by adults rose for the first time in 26 years. • A majority (50.2%) of American adults now do literary reading � a rise of 16.6 million new adult readers. • Literary reading increased most rapidly among the youngest adults (aged 18-24) with a 21% increase. • Literary reading rose among whites (+8%). African Americans (+15%). and among Hispanic Americans (+20%). • Literary reading rates grew or held steady for adults of all education levels with rates climbing significantly for adults who did not complete high school (+47%). Good news seems rare in culture these days. so th is positive trend is a welcome development. It renects the programs. activities. and advocacy for reading supported by Congress over the past few years. especially the NEA' s BiX Read program. Thank you fIX your support. Sincerely.

Please note that (b)(6) serves as the (b)(6), (b)(4) (b)(4) As I understand it, the submitted an application to the Learning in the Arts for Youth Program Grant, via Grants.gov. Due to technical difficulties involving the electronic submission process on Grants.gov, the applicant was unable to electronically submit their application before the June 9 deadline expired. (b)(6) reported that even th,mgh the NEA extended the application deadline as a result of these technical difficulties, their agency was unsuccessful in its continued attempts to electronically submit their grant application. Therefore, (b)(6) called Grants.gov support staff for additional assistance. She said that Grants.gov representatives advised her that she should stay on the phone from 10 a.m. until Midnight and attempt to resubmit their proposal every 1.5 hours (case (b)(6) (b)(6) I. When told the Grants.gov staff that their request was unreasonable, they advised her to hire someone to perform the recommended duties instead. Although the (b)(4) (b)(4) submitted a hard copy before the deadline passed, (b)(6) reported that their application will not be considered for funding by NEA. (b)(6) has requested that the NEA consider their application for funding (if possible). Please understand that the (b)(4) received a sub-grant from the (b)(4) (b)(4) for a capacity building project (which was funded by(b)(4) (b)(4) ). The sub-award funds were paltially used to hire a consultant to teach their staff grant writing techniques, as well as coach their staff in completing the Arts for Youth Program Grant application. Please understand that (b)(6) is not only frustrated that their application was not considered for funding, but also frustrated about the waste of federal funds which were invested into their capacity building project (as a result of their (b)(6) application not even being considered for funding). I have enclosed a copy of 's letter for your review, which includes additional details. I would appreciate it if you would look into this matter to determine if anything can be done­ consistent with all law and regulations - to assist her in resolving this problem.

  • Lester Lynch, Baritone VOCAL STUDIES at MORGAN MASTER
    VOCAL STUDIES AT MORGAN MASTER CLASS SERIES Wednesday, February 13, 2013 4:00-6:00 PM Murphy Fine Arts Center Recital Hall Lester Lynch, baritone Juilliard Opera School graduate and Ohio native Lester Lynch is recognized for a voice that is commanding, rich and vocally nuanced. A prominent Verdi baritone, he has been praised for being “magnificently forceful,” by The New York Times, and for demonstrating “a seamless legato from one end of his range to the other and a facility for shaping coloratura for dramatic effect,” by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He joins the San Francisco Opera as Carbon in Cerano de Bergerac, Lyric Opera of Chicago as Herald in Lohengrin, the Bregenzer Festpiele as Gerald in Andrea Chenier, Kentucky Opera as Alfio and Tonio in Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci all during the 2010 - 11 season. Concert appearances during the season include performances with the Virginia Symphony, Akron Symphony, and Bayerische Rundfunkorchester, and he offers a solo recital at the Saint Louis Art Museum. Future engagements include roles with the Canadian Opera Company and Dallas Opera, among others. During the 2009 - 10 season the joined Washington National Opera as Porgy in Porgy and Bess, Glimmerglass Opera as Scarpia in Tosca, and the New Jersey State Opera as Crown in Porgy and Bess. As Nottingham in Roberto Devereaux with Minnesota Opera, the Star Tribune raved that he is “equipped for stardom” with his “vocally and physically charismatic Nottingham, who persuasively negotiates the sudden turn from stalwart ally to enraged husband.” In addition, he sang Porgy in a concert performance with the Jacksonville Symphony, Crown in Porgy and Bess with the Orlando Philharmonic, Handel’s Messiah with the Virginia Symphony, Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony with the Santa Barbara Choral Society, and offered a recital at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.

The season opened with the premiere of a new production of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde and also included five other new stagings, as well as 20 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 11th year, with ten broadcasts reaching approximately 2.3 million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (Live in HD and box office) totaled $111 million. Total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. All six new productions in the 2016–17 season were the work of distinguished directors who had previous success at the Met. The compelling Opening Night new production of Tristan und Isolde was directed by Mariusz Treliński, who made his Met debut in 2015 with the double bill of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta and Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle. French-Lebanese director Pierre Audi brought his distinctive vision to Rossini’s final operatic masterpiece Guillaume Tell, following his earlier staging of Verdi’s Attila in 2010. Robert Carsen, who first worked at the Met in 1997 on his popular production of Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, directed a riveting new Der Rosenkavalier, the company’s first new staging of Strauss’s grand comedy since 1969.
