Rochester Sentinel 2015 Thursday, January 1, 2015 No Paper – Holiday Friday, January 2, 2015 Jean I. Miller Dec. 20, 1929 - Dec. 31, 2014 Mrs. Jean Ilene Neidlinger MILLER, 85, Rochester, was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2014, at her residence. On Dec. 20, 1929, Jean was born in Marshall County a cherished daughter of Fay O. and Marjorie Kelver Neidlinger. As the fourth born of seven children, she shared her childhood with two sisters and four brothers. All the Neidlinger kids were introduced to the gift of music by their very talented mother. Jean became accomplished as a pianist in her youth. Intrigued with the accordion, Jean was self- taught, playing by ear. The children formed the Neidlinger Family band and played at local engagements. With great Cavalier pride, she graduated with her class from Culver High School in 1947. Clem H. Miller Jr. and Jean were married on Nov. 27, 1947, in the Argos United Methodist Church. Together they shared 61 years of life’s adventures. Their union produced a daughter and two sons. Over the years, two more generations have been added to the family tree. As the matriarch of the Miller family, grandma Jean was proud to oversee four generations. She truly adored her six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

  • AS YOU LIKE IT, the First Production of Our 50Th Anniversary Season, and the First Show in Our Shakespearean Act
    Welcome It is my pleasure to welcome you to AS YOU LIKE IT, the first production of our 50th anniversary season, and the first show in our Shakespearean act. Shakespeare’s plays have been a cornerstone of our work at CSC, and his writing continues to reflect and refract our triumphs and trials as individuals and collectively as a society. We inevitability turn to Shakespeare to express our despair, bewilderment, and delight. So, what better place to start our anniversary year than with the contemplative search for self and belonging in As You Like It. At the heart of this beautiful play is a speech that so perfectly encapsulates our mortality. All the world’s a stage, and we go through so many changes as we make our exits and our entrances. You will have noticed many changes for CSC. We have a new look, new membership opportunities, and are programming in a new way with more productions and a season that splits into what we have called “acts.” Each act focuses either on a playwright or on an era of work. It seemed appropriate to inaugurate this with a mini-season of Shakespeare, which continues with Fiasco Theater's TWELFTH NIGHT. Then there is Act II: Americans dedicated to work by American playwrights Terrence McNally (FIRE AND AIR) and Tennessee Williams (SUMMER AND SMOKE); very little of our repertoire has focused on classics written by Americans. This act also premieres a new play by Terrence McNally, as I feel that the word classic can also encapsulate the “bigger idea” and need not always be the work of a writer from the past.

  • Alexander Paley
    Alexander Paley Alexander Paley is widely acclaimed for his dazzling technical prowess, his exceptionally broad and extensive repertoire of concerti and solo piano works, and the depth of his unique and personal interpretations. The Washington Post called Paley's 1991 debut with the National Symphony a "flawless performance," and since then, he has earned similar accolades for performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Pops, Aspen Festival Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, and the St. Louis, San Diego, Utah, Colorado, Milwaukee, Seattle, and Syracuse Symphony Orchestras. He made his Carnegie Hall debut with the American Composers Orchestra in the 1996-7 season with the world premier of a new concerto by Sheila Silver, at which time The New York Times wrote: "The pianist … played like a man possessed" Recital appearances throughout the United States have taken Mr. Paley to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Richmond, Atlanta, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, Chicago's Allied Arts Series, and the Seattle International Festival. A favorite with audiences in Washington, DC, Mr. Paley gave the first of his now annual recitals in the 1999-2000 season, playing the dedicatory recital for the German embassy's new Bluthner piano and also playing at the Dumbarton Concert Series with a program featuring J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations and French Suite No.5. The Washington Post review of this recital began: "Once in a while, never often enough, a recital is so exhilarating that it reaches far into the intermission, which becomes a delicious interlude between the lingering vapors of superlative artistry already experienced and the enormous pleasure of knowing there is still more to come".
