  • At Zoellner Pennsylvania Youth Ballet Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley with the Southside Sinfonietta
    2019 at Zoellner Pennsylvania Youth Ballet Ballet Guild of the Lehigh Valley with The Southside Sinfonietta Karen Kroninger Knerr, Artistic Director • Eugene Albulescu, Music Director The Story of Our Nutcracker Production Performances of The Nutcracker have grown in a great American and Lehigh Valley tradition. The Lehigh Valley’s Nutcracker tradition began fifty-one years ago in 1968. It was sponsored by The Junior League of the Lehigh Valley and was initially performed at the Allentown Symphony Hall, under the direction of Alexi Ramov. Through the generous grant contribution from The Junior League of the Lehigh Valley, and countless volunteer hours, the Ballet Guild’s Nutcracker began. While the Ballet Guild has undergone numerous changes throughout its own sixty-one year history, one constant in the organization’s seasonal calendar has been our annual Nutcracker production. Countless Lehigh Valley children and adults have performed in The Nutcracker production under the direction of Alexi Ramov, Oleg Briansky and Mireille Briane, Aram Manukyan and current Artistic Director, Karen Kroninger Knerr. In addition, several Ballet Guild students have returned as professional guest artists to appear in this annual holiday treat. These alumni include: Peter Degnan and Susan Taylor Degnan of the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre; Richard Fritz of the Los Angeles Ballet Company; Leslie Jonas of the Boston Ballet; Karen Kroninger, then of the Juilliard School; and Joseph Fritz of the New Jersey Ballet/Metropolitan Opera Ballet. The Ballet Guild has also brought the magic of The Nutcracker to over 100,000 local school students as part of our popular school performances. Because of the initial contribution of The Junior League of the Lehigh Valley, countless volunteers, the Ballet Guild’s Board of Directors, the hard work and dedication of our previous and current artistic directors and dancers, the generous support of our sponsors and donors and the greater Lehigh Valley community, the Ballet Guild is proud to present its 51st consecutive Nutcracker production.

  • The Jungle Upton Sinclair
    The Jungle Upton Sinclair Chapter 1 It was four o'clock when the ceremony was over and the carriages began to arrive. There had been a crowd following all the way, owing to the exuberance of Marija Berczynskas. The occasion rested heavily upon Marija's broad shoulders--it was her task to see that all things went in due form, and after the best home traditions; and, flying wildly hither and thither, bowling every one out of the way, and scolding and exhorting all day with her tremendous voice, Marija was too eager to see that others conformed to the proprieties to consider them herself. She had left the church last of all, and, desiring to arrive first at the hall, had issued orders to the coachman to drive faster. When that personage had developed a will of his own in the matter, Marija had flung up the window of the carriage, and, leaning out, proceeded to tell him her opinion of him, first in Lithuanian, which he did not understand, and then in Polish, which he did. Having the advantage of her in altitude, the driver had stood his ground and even ventured to attempt to speak; and the result had been a furious altercation, which, continuing all the way down Ashland Avenue, had added a new swarm of urchins to the cortege at each side street for half a mile. This was unfortunate, for already there was a throng before the door. The music had started up, and half a block away you could hear the dull "broom, broom" of a cello, with the squeaking of two fiddles which vied with each other in intricate and altitudinous gymnastics.
