    ECMS Fall Carillon Tour Sunday, October 5, 2014, 2-3pm, University of Rochester River Campus, Meet at Rush Rhees Library Circulation Desk Dear Participant, Welcome to this one hour carillon tour on October 5, 2014, at 2pm. The carillon is located in Rush Rhees Library on the University of Rochester campus. Students with keyboard background have proven they can learn carillon quickly, usually making rapid progress through a semester lesson series, starting on the practice carillon and progressing to playing the bells in tower. Our carillon is a 50 bell instrument played from a baton and pedal console from the desk of using hands and feet. Any carillon is defined as a chromatic, touch sensitive tuned bell instrument in chromatic sequence numbered above 23 bells. Music notation looks similar to DORIS piano music, in both treble and bass clef. This carillon tour is intended to educate our students, acquainting them with this world culture instrument. The tour is also meant to AMAN introduce the carillon to new players from our community. Adjunct Faculty, carillon Carillons are located in many of the universities of North American, including Ivy League and University of Rochester other top level achievement schools. Can you imagine the interview talking points for River Campus Music Department students announcing they play carillon to admissions officials of such schools? For our adult [email protected] community members, the carillon offers a fun “hands on” way to serve the campus community on a public instrument. Carillons need intergenerational carillon players.

  • Emily Sibley Watson (1855-1945)
    Emily Sibley Watson (1855-1945) Emily Sibley Watson was a Rochester grand dame who lives on in most people’s imaginations, if she lives on at all, as a staid and starchy dowager. However, archival materials tell a different and vital story, one about a vibrant girl who grew to be a devoted daughter, wife and mother, steadfast friend, intrepid traveler, and compassionate and generous philanthropist. At the same time, as materials have migrated from one generation to the next and into widely separated archives, there are limits to our understanding and interpretation. Still, it is a story filled with adventure, celebration, and tragedy, and its arc overlaps and intersects with the growth of the city famous for Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and George Eastman. She remains one of Rochester’s least well-known individuals, overshadowed by the accomplishments of her father and son1, but her gifts to the community have put Rochester on the cultural map for over one hundred years. Emily Sibley Watson in later life Born in 1855, Emily Sibley Watson made her ar- rival around the time that her father, Hiram Sib- ley, was consolidating the Western Union Company. The youngest of four children, and one of only two to survive beyond the 1860s, her life bore only slight resemblance to that of her elder sister, Louise Sibley Atkinson (1833- 1868). Louise spent her earliest years in rural Monroe County, traveled exclusively within the New York/New England region, went to school in Canandaigua, and fretted about expenses. Emily, twenty-two years young- er, was born into immense wealth and privilege and access to the highest levels of culture and society.

  • Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings
    Directory of Institutions in the United States and Canada with Pre-1600 Manuscript Holdings The Directory of Institutions is the first part of a continuation of the Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States and Canada, published in 1935 and 1937, and its 1962 Supplement.1 The present Directory details, when known, the current location of the collections listed in the original Census and Supplement, and identifies an additional 281 North American repositories of pre-1600 European manuscripts in Western languages that were not included in the earlier works. For all of the 475 North American repositories, this Directory provides updated contact data and general information on pre-1600 manuscript holdings. Detailed descriptions of individual manuscripts are outside the scope of this Directory, but bibliographical references to published catalogues and internet addresses giving access to on-line cataloguing records are provided when available. Following the organizational scheme of the original Census and Supplement, the Directory entries are organized alphabetically by State and City, with public collections listed first for each city, followed by private. (Due to privacy issues, modern private collections are not included). As in the original publications, the Canadian Provinces are found in a separate listing at the end of the directory. We would like to thank the hundreds of individuals who have contributed to this updated directory through their gathering and sharing of information regarding the whereabouts of pre- 1600 manuscripts in North American collections. To keep this information current, we ask that any updates or corrections be reported to us at [email protected].

EXHIBITIONS AT MAG CHANGING HANDS: Art WITHOUT Reservation 3 Through February 10, 2013 in the Grand Gallery The 140 works in this major traveling exhibition celebrate the richness and diversity of contemporary Native and First Nations art. In addition to interpreting—and often redefining—such traditional media as basketry, beadwork, textiles, wood, metalwork and stone, the artists in Changing Hands have embraced video, pho- tography, and performance and installation art. Among the themes they explore are the natural and spiritual worlds as sources of inspiration; the reinterpretation of traditions; and the often politically charged issue of cultural assimilation. The final installment of a series organized by New York’s Museum of Arts and Design, this exhibition showcases artists from eastern Canada and the US Northeast, Southeast and Midwest. Among them are several artists with ties to western New York. This exhibition was organized by the Museum of Arts and Design, New York City. In Rochester, it is sponsored by M&T Bank and the Robert L. and Mary L.
