  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at the Kennedy Center
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks at the Kennedy Center Honors Reception December 4, 2016 The President. Well, good evening, everybody. Audience members. Good evening! The President. On behalf of Michelle and myself, welcome to the White House. Over the past 8 years, this has always been one of our favorite nights. And this year, I was especially looking forward to seeing how Joe Walsh cleans up. [Laughter] Pretty good. [Laughter] I want to begin by once again thanking everybody who makes this wonderful evening possible, including David Rubenstein, the Kennedy Center Trustees—I'm getting a big echo back there—and the Kennedy Center President, Deborah Rutter. Give them a big round of applause. We have some outstanding Members of Congress here tonight. And we are honored also to have Vicki Kennedy and three of President Kennedy's grandchildren with us here: Rose, Tatiana, and Jack. [Applause] Hey! So the arts have always been part of life at the White House because the arts are always central to American life. And that's why, over the past 8 years, Michelle and I have invited some of the best writers and musicians, actors, dancers to share their gifts with the American people, and to help tell the story of who we are, and to inspire what's best in all of us. Along the way, we've enjoyed some unbelievable performances. This is one of the perks of the job that I will miss. [Laughter] Thanks to Michelle's efforts, we've brought the arts to more young people, from hosting workshops where they learn firsthand from accomplished artists, to bringing "Hamilton" to students who wouldn't normally get a ticket to Broadway.

  • Press Record and Just Get the Hell out of the Way.”
    MAVIS STAPLES “I’m the messenger,” Mavis Staples says on the eve of her 80th birthday. “That’s my job—it has been for my whole life—and I can’t just give up while the struggle’s still alive. We’ve got more work to do, so I’m going to keep on getting stronger and keep on delivering my message every single day.” That message—a clarion call to love, to faith, to justice, to brotherhood, to joy—lies at the heart of ‘We Get By,’ Staples’ spectacular twelfth studio album and first full-length collaboration with multi-GRAMMY Award-winner Ben Harper. Backed by her longtime touring band, Staples breathes extraordinary life into Harper’s compositions on the record, delivering roof-raising performances with both a youthful vigor and a commanding maturity. The arrangements here are spare but weighty, matched by Harper’s suitably lean and thoughtful production, and Staples seizes the opportunity to showcase her remarkable and continued evolution as an artist, one still growing and exploring more than half a century into her storied career. ‘We Get By’ is undoubtedly a timely collection, arriving such as it does in the face of deep social divisions and heightened political tensions, but like everything Staples touches, it’s also larger than any particular moment, a timeless appeal to the better angels of our nature that’s universal in its reach and unwavering in its assurance of better things to come. “When I first started reading the lyrics Ben wrote for me, I said to myself, ‘My God, he’s saying everything that needs to be said right now,’” Staples remembers.

  • Mavis Staples 1
    Mavis Staples Feb. 22, 2002 [Chicago Sun-Times reporter Dave Hoekstra recounts his experience as a first-time writer and producer on the Chicago Stories documentary "The Staple Singers." Hoekstra's deep respect for the group - headed by late patriarch Roebuck "Pops" Staples - is rooted in the Staples' dedication to both the civil rights movement and their art.] By Dave Hoekstra The Staple Singers are jewels in the crown of goodwill. Over the past 18 years I have discovered the many genuine dimensions of the Chicago-based family that always sang with a message. In 1984, I interviewed patriarch Roebuck "Pops" Staples in his Calumet City apartment for the Suburban Sun-Times. I wrote his obituary in 2000. And over the years at the Sun-Times I profiled lead singer Mavis Staples and wrote about the family's role in the civil rights movement, in Chicago's gospel community and their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. These stories evolved into a friendship that led to the making of a documentary on the Staple Singers, which I produced and co-wrote with Jamie Ceaser, another longtime friend. The documentary, part of the "Chicago Stories" series. The half-hour program includes rare footage of the Staples and interviews with family members Pops, Mavis, Pervis and Yvonne, as well as Harry Belafonte, Jerry Butler, Gene Chandler, Bob Dylan, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Chicago radio veteran Herb Kent, Natalie Merchant, gospel legend Albertina Walker and gospel star BeBe Winans. It's narrated by Grammy-winning musician and vocalist Bonnie Raitt, who collaborated with Pops on his "Peace to the Neighborhood" album.

  • Wagner Quarterly 130 September 2013
    WAGNER SOCIETY nsw ISSUE NO 3 CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF RICHARD WAGNER WAGNER QUARTERLY 130 SEPTEMBER 2013 IN MEMORIAM Joseph Ferfoglia (c. 1923-2012) – long-time honorary auditor for the Society – see Swan Lines. PRESIDENT’S REPORT Welcome to the third Wagner Quarterly for 2013. I have to confess that I have missed some of our Society’s more recent events, as I have taken my Wagner enthusiasm overseas. I am really sorry not to have attended these events, as on all accounts they have been outstandingly successful. Some fifty people, including her Excellency the Governor, attended the Dutchman seminar. This is described later in this Quarterly, as are the Lisa Gasteen meeting, the “Swords and Winterstorms” concert, and the more recent Neil Armfield talk, which I believe was fascinating. In June this year, I was fortunate enough to attend Ring Cycles in Riga, Milan and Longborough. And in August I went to the third and last cycle of the new Ring production Multiple multi-coloured Masters by Ottmar Hörl capering over in Bayreuth. Unfortunately, because of the decisions relating Bayreuth: Is he welcoming visitors or shooing us away? 300€ at to ticket allocations, there were many fewer Sydneysiders www.Bayreuth-shop.de in Bayreuth than in previous years. But a small ray of hope on this issue remains. In November the matter will again be The Riga Opera House is a jewel of a 19th century opera discussed at a meeting house at one end of a park which divides the mediaeval of the Administrative section of the city from the modern city.

In Memoriam Barbara McNulty OBE - see inside for obituary NEWSFLASH: Melbourne to stage a Ring Cycle - at last! It’s Official! - see report inside. President’s Report Welcome to our third Newsletter for 2010. Once, when we sat together for a performance of L’elisir d’amour (the production with fake corrugated iron sheep on Barbara McNulty wheels), Barbara warned me that as she didn’t often attend Members and friends of our Society would have been the opera with a male handbag, there could be comment saddened by the news of Barbara McNulty’s death on on the platform. Sure enough, we were approached by 31 July. My thanks to our editor, Dr Terence Watson, for several of her acquaintances who said “And this must be compiling the fine tribute and obituary which appears in this your son!” After that I took to calling her “Mother” and Newsletter. she would respond “My son, my son” (because, apparently, From a personal viewpoint, my fondest memories of Barbara there was enough of me to make two sons.) Barbara rarely came during the latter period of her presidency of the left a performance early, no matter how vile, and we drained Society, when we dealt with the difficult consequences of this insufferable Elixir to the last drop.
