A CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: Green Lake Festival of Music The Power of Story Concert Season with NPR’s Ari Shapiro June 2 – July 23, 2017 In grateful memory of Artist Leslie Trewyn October 14 Waves & At the Overture Center in Madison Tickets at wpr.org/100. waterworksREFLECTIONS ON SOUND & MOVEMENT No Charge For Tickets – Donate What You Can – Call (920) 748-9398 www.GreenLakeFestival.org In Memoriam Leslie Trewyn 1941 – 2017 June 23, 2017 would have been artist Leslie Trewyn’s 76th birthday. The celebration she hoped to have with her family and friends will take place without her and will be a gathering to celebrate her life. Last fall Leslie began a painting that she planned to donate to the Festival for the artwork in promotional materials, as she had done each of the last four seasons. Her paintings are playful, with bold colors and images of her travels near and far. Unable to finish the 2017 painting because of illness, she gave permission to use the colorful digital image of a sold painting that fit this season’s theme about water. Leslie was able to choose the design she liked best that Festival Support Specialist Barb Mitchell created. We are so grateful for Leslie’s generosity. A frequent Festival audience member and donor, Leslie enthusiastically supported concerts and special events, even opening her studio last spring for a reception for the Friends/Volunteers group to welcome people, unveil her Festival painting, and kickoff the season. And she was grateful, especially for her dear family and friends. Leslie inspired us with her extraordinary talent and, at the same time, her easy, genuine manner. She took an almost childlike delight in people and in beauty, expressing her passion through art. In her final days Leslie donated a tryptich, three panels of paintings of a nearby farm she loved, to the Green Lake Caestecker Public Library, describing to those gathered for her presentation how the paintings evolved as she worked on them. She also gave a favorite painting to the Thrasher Opera House and donated to many organizations she cared about. We can all continue to enjoy her artwork in these places and in Festival posters hanging in Horicon Bank lobbies. We remember Leslie with full hearts and give thanks for her life.
