The Preservation Society has embarked on a transformative period in its history. We are taking the many goals which were set out in our strategic plan, approved in 2015, and the goals of our Comprehensive Capital Campaign, which concluded a few months ago, and turning them into reality. A number of recently completed projects come to mind.

• In particular, I am thinking of The Elms Scholars Center, completed in August 2016 and named The Berwind-Stautberg Center at The Elms Carriage House;

• Our new schedule of special exhibitions, started in 2015 and now a regular part of our calendar. The current exhibition of 70 years of Pierre Cardin designs is open in our exhibition galleries at Rosecliff; 3 • The restoration of The Breakers Boiler Room, completed con- sistent with all professional consultants’ recommendations, and the related writing of a new tour, Beneath The Breakers, which opened in January of this year and is already a great success with our visitors;

Chairman’s • And the inception of the Edible Schoolyard program at Green Animals, a program aimed at educating primary and middle school Report children as to where their food comes from and how it is grown.

Each of these represents in some way the fulfillment of a By Monty Burnham strategic plan goal or the expansion of an already established part From the Annual Meeting, June 15, 2017 of our mission.

We’re retaining the essence of George Bancroft.

Tessie Fair Oelrichs later bought this property in 1895. Her father made his money in silver mining. She married Hermann Oelrichs and together they decided to replace the original Rosecliff; they looked at 15 different plans and selected architect Stanford White.

It took four years for this house to be completed, much to the consternation of Tessie who impatiently moved in with her staff before it was finished. She hosted a dinner for 132 people, camou- flaging the construction with huge floral arrangements. Of course, the party was the hit of the season, and today parties at Rosecliff continue to be fantastic. We are retaining the essence of Tessie Oelrichs.

Because of the Great Depression and two world wars, Newport 6 faltered. Time magazine in fact reported that “Newport’s grandeur grew more and more like some ancient beauty whose sight is failing and whose hearing and teeth are gone.”

So it’s not surprising that the house ended up on the auction block, and that while it was valued at $2.5 million it was bought for only $21,000 by the mother of Gertrude Niesen, an actress, comedienne, CEO & Executive torch singer, Ziegfeld Follies, Mae West-type character.

12 Antiquarian Award Awarded To George Theodore Wein

FOR HIS MANY YEARS OF PROMOTING MUSIC IN NEWPORT AND AROUND THE WORLD

Born outside Boston in 1925, George Wein is as much a legend as his celebrated music festivals. At the behest and with the support of Elaine and Louis Lorillard, who declared “they did not want another dull Newport summer”, George started the Newport Jazz Festival in 1954. This first jazz festival in America served as the stage for legendary performances by Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Wynton Marsalis and Esperanza Spalding, among many others. Referred to as the mother of all jazz festivals, the event draws thousands of people every year to Newport, a city famed in its own right for its spectacular coastal scenery and awe-inspiring architecture. George is an accomplished jazz pianist, whose group – The Newport All-Stars –

Above: Board Chair Monty Burnham presents the Antiquarian Award to George Wein Annual Report 2016-2017 13

has toured Australia, Japan, the United States and every country in Europe. Fortunately for all of us, George realized his true calling as a concert impresario. Today, over 1,000 jazz festivals are held around the globe. In 1959, George partnered with Pete Seeger and Theodore Bikel to create the Newport Folk Festival, which holds a unique place in America's musical and cultural history. A hub for the Civil Rights Movement in the 60s and the site of Bob Dylan's famous switch to electric guitar in 1965, the festival hosted the first major appearances of Joan Baez, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Arlo Guthrie. George advanced the concept of live music and changed the way Americans listen to it – taking it outdoors. He also pioneered how these events are funded: corporate sponsorship. Such vital funding fuels the festivals and enhances visibility for the events as well as for the musicians themselves. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Woodstock, the Monterey Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, Coachella and Bonnaroo all evolved, thanks to George Wein and his ground-breaking vision - not to mention his sheer will, unparalleled organizational prowess and creative energy. George has been a loyal friend to Newport and to the Preservation Society and still marvels at the incongruity of jazz, with its humble African-American roots being accepted in a bastion of American wealth and privilege. “I want to reflect the glories of Newport, but also the fact that 13 jazz is alive.” His festivals do reflect the glories of Newport and expose new audiences to its unique heritage beyond Fort Adams, with concerts held in the Newport Casino, a jazz gala at The Breakers and the 2017 Newport Festivals Foundation Gala at The Elms. George and his late wife, Joyce Alexander Wein, have a long involvement with philanthropy and the arts, establishing four endowments: the Joyce and George Wein Chair of African American Studies at Boston University, the Alexander Family Endowed Scholarship Fund at Simmons College, the Joyce Alexander Wein Prize at the Studio Museum in Harlem and the newest, the Newport Festivals Foundation Endowment, to ensure his beloved jazz and folk festivals survive for generations. He received an honorary degree from the Berklee College of Music and is a Lifetime Honorary Trustee of Carnegie Hall, a Trustee of Jazz at Lincoln Center and an Advisor to the Jazz Foundation of America. He has been honored at the White House by two American presidents and named a "Jazz Master" by the National Endowment for the Arts. George Wein has forever changed how music is presented, and in his 92nd year, continues to build new audiences for emerging and established artists at his original, iconic events in Newport and well beyond. A son of New England and citizen of the world, for more than 63 years, George has ensured that Newport will never have a dull summer. In gratitude, the Board of Trustees of The Preservation Society of Newport County is honored and pleased to award George Theodore Wein the Antiquarian Award, our highest organizational honor.

International Preservation Award Awarded To The Lobkowicz Family

FOR THEIR EXCEPTIONAL EFFORTS IN ARCHITECTURAL RESTORATION AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION

Above: Board Chair Monty Burnham, Brooks Lobkowicz, Trustee Carol Epstein, and Margaret Lobkowicz Annual Report 2016-2017 15

The International Preservation Award acknowledges the extraordinary efforts undertaken by individuals and/or institutions from around the world to safeguard and preserve culturally significant properties. It is a distinction that is awarded to those whose preservation efforts evoke a sense of passion, whose actions serve as an inspiration for others. The Lobkowicz family, their tireless efforts to reacquire and preserve properties and collections in the Czech Republic, are a model recipient for this award. The Lobkowicz Family has been both steward and patron of Czechoslovakian culture for upwards of seven centuries. During that time, Europe’s most distinguished Bohemian noble family was prolific in its collections of literature, architecture, and fine art, often serving as patrons of great artists themselves. The names of famous composers such as Ludwig von Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are inextricably linked to their Lobkowicz benefactors and friends. Beginning in 1939, the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia triggered half a century of Lobkowicz estrangement from their homeland, culture, and priceless collections. Their properties were confiscated and repurposed, first by the Nazi regime, then - after only a brief reprieve - by the Soviet Union. The castles were repurposed as state offices, museums, music schools, and even youth training camps for the Nazi Schutzstaffel, all the while falling into greater and greater disrepair. Their dislocation came to a close only after the 1989 Velvet Revolution. The family then embarked upon a legal, financial, and emotional battle to regain ownership of the many tangible elements of their family legacy. Their eleven year struggle resulted in the reacquisition of ten of the thirteen lost palaces, along with countless artworks, manuscripts and archives. The family now retains four of these palaces: Lobkowicz Palace at Prague Castle, Nelahozeves Castle, Roundnice Castle, and Strekov Castle. The Lobkowicz family has invested an incalculable sum of money, time, and love into the rehabilitation of these properties, which represent not just seven centuries of personal family history but also the cultural heritage of the Czech Republic. Their courage in doing so provides an inspiration for all who appreciate the value of preservation. It is with great honor that we present the Lobkowicz Family with the Inaugural International Preservation Award.
