LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Art Patrons: I recently read in the HeraldWhig about the impending closure of the Quincy School Music Center, a fixture in downtown Quincy which was owned and operated by Gus Rieckhoff. I vividly remember going into the store with my mom when I was just ten years old, and like Mr. Ollivander handing a wand to Harry Potter, Mr. Rieckhoff handed me my magical violin bow. Countless kids got their first instruments at this shop in its 60 years of operation, and innumerable moments experiencing the magic of music started there.

the case for support to corporate offices, and it’s all of our local media investing in the idea that the arts are part of what sets Quincy apart here in the heart of rural America. It’s broad support from bankers and manufacturers, florists and builders, jewelers and health care providers, and so much more.

This got me to thinking about the broader business community and its support of the fine arts in Quincy. Not every business is directly related to making music or art the way Quincy School Music Center was, but so many business owners have made funding and supporting the arts a centerpiece of their financial support.

Arts programs and events drive tourism and business revenue, and helped Quincy gain the title of one of America’s Most Artistic Small Towns for two consecutive years! In Quincy, the direct economic impact of the arts is over $16M per year, and the sector has become one of the fastest-growing tax bases for the community as overall retail tax revenue slumps nationwide.

The business community’s support of the arts spans every sector of Quincy’s economy. It’s both Quincy’s largest employers and its smallest family-owned businesses. It’s local managers making

Here in Arts Quincy magazine, you’ll find great articles and a jam-packed arts calendar, and I sincerely hope you get out your own calendar and fill in all

Partnerships with the business community are not only vital to keeping the arts vibrant in our area, but benefit the businesses as well. Again and again, studies show that the arts unify communities, improve quality of life metrics and drive creative industries.

They help an area like Quincy recruit and retain the educated workforce that’s so crucial to today’s economy.

You’re Invited

the events and activities you’ll go out to enjoy in the coming months.

I also want to invite you to take a closer look at the 75+ businesses who support Arts Quincy through advertising and/ or membership. You’ll see a lot of these business names repeated as supporters of arts programs all over town. Next time you’re in one of these businesses, thank them for their support of the fine arts and let them know that it is meaningful to you and your family. Patronize the businesses that are investing in this community whenever possible, because it grows a better and more creative place to live for us all.

On behalf of everyone in the arts community, I want to extend our most sincere thanks to the businesses who support us and make all this possible.

Thank you for giving back to the place where you live, and for believing that the arts uplift us all.

Your Partner in a More Creative Quincy,

Laura Sievert Executive Director

INSTANT ARTS CLASSROOM FUNDS magine a community that embraces the arts as a fundamental tool to enhance learning. This is a vision Arts Quincy has for Adams County at every grade level and in every school. Instant Arts Classroom Funds provides an

additional resource to make that vision a reality to bring out the joy in learning.

Through creative experiences for students and teachers alike, the program helps local schools cultivate and sustain the arts that are so essential to education.

During the 2018/2019 school year, 7,500 students at 17 area public and parochial schools will have arts, music, theater or dance experience through Arts Quincy’s donorsupported Instant Arts Program.

The total reach of the program has tripled in size over the past three years because teachers, parents and administrators see the growing need for engaging and creative activities for students at all levels.

STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) is catching on nationwide

because educational leaders and business professionals see the value that having creative and adaptable thinkers adds in any industry.

Teachers agree that providing these opportunities helps improve critical thinking skills, confidence and engagement in the classroom, and studies show the arts help students of all learning styles feel a sense of achievement by learning better social and character development and self-awareness.

Lori Biswell of Baldwin School writes, “We have been so thankful

that the Arts Quincy Instant Arts Program has funded our students to be able to experience many arts activities that many of our kids would never be able to do on their own. Some students don’t excel in traditional academic subjects, but find their passion in the arts.”

One of the strengths of the program is that teachers are able to choose from a large menu of options across arts disciplines so that their activity matches their curriculum and students’ grade level or interests.

Some of the most popular programs

that teachers chose this year include trips to Quincy Community Theatre, visits from Quincy Art Center, dance classes, school-wide performance groups and visits from historical reenactors.

“Arts and cultural experiences like these provide authentic and unforgettable experiences for all students, including those that may fall into underserved and low-income communities,” says Laura Sievert, Arts Quincy’s Executive Director. “Experiencing

the arts from a young age nurtures a student’s desire to have a lifetime filled with creativity. The arts promote engagement, spark imagination and improve personal and social development, which are essential skills for a collaborative, communicative and innovative workforce and life.”

By becoming an Arts Quincy Member, or donating directly to the Instant Arts Program, you are supporting this continued education and arts access within

the community. Thank you to our 2018/2019 major Instant Arts Sponsors, the Tracy Family Foundation, HomeBank, the Stillwell Foundation and the Illinois Arts Council Association and to all of the business and individual members of Arts Quincy who continue to believe that arts education is essential in Adams County.

C-SC Music Tour Returns to Preform Local Concert POST TOUR CONCERT Saturday, March 16 7:30 pm Culver-Stockton College Returning from performances in central and southwestern Missouri schools and churches, Culver-Stockton College choral and instrumental ensembles will present their Post-Tour Concert on Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 pm in Campbell Auditorium on the C-SC campus.

Concert and Chamber Choirs, directed by Professor Scott Allison, will join Dr. Trent Hollinger’s Wind Ensemble and Dr. Aren Van Houzen’s Jazz Ensemble to offer music that showcases each group’s distinctive sound, but also allows creative mixing and chamber possibilities.

The Concert Choir will contrast unaccompanied Villiers Stanford motifs with Moses Hogan spirituals and modernistic Ticheli works, but the Choir’s men will also sing a rollicking adventure song to piano accompaniment by Scott Farthing.

The Wind Ensemble carries on the virtuoso motif as they accompany Sopranos Jacy Gabriel and Hali Liles, the winners of C-SC’s Concerto-Aria Competition, and feature chamber groups from within what is already a one-per-part wind band.

“We are very fortunate to have an event such as Showcase of Excellence each year,” said Kathi Dooley, Director of Music for the Quincy Public Schools.

“All proceeds from this event are used as fundamental support for music and fine arts education throughout the Quincy Public Schools K-12. We are so grateful to the volunteers, parents, alumni and QPS students who work diligently to bring Showcase to life each year. It is really a great festival that benefits the entire Quincy community and the talented students who attend."

As hosts for the day, the QHS Show Choir and Jazz Band will perform in exhibition at the end of the event, after working behind the scenes to make the day a success!

Meet the Musician

Quincy Concert Band would like to introduce you to Sue Cutrone, first chair flute/piccolo. Sue has played with QCB for over 15 years.

Here is a Q & A, submitted by Susan Deege.

What do you like best about playing with QCB? I really enjoy the variety of music we play. In this group we have been able to learn and perform some exciting new music. We also enjoy performing some of the great old favorites. It was an honor that we

2017 able to attend the Illinois Music Education Conference! We are able to showcase our varied musical talents with two concerts a year - one in the spring, and one in the fall. I really appreciate the challenge of the beautiful music we play.

What other groups do you play with?

I have been a member of the Quincy Symphony Orchestra for 29 years and have also been a member of the Muddy River Opera Company orchestra.

How did your musical journey begin?

I come from a very musical family and started flute lessons with my Dad when I was in third grade. I started playing flute and piccolo with the school band in 4th grade. After graduating from QHS in 1977 I attended University of Arizona in Tucson on a music scholarship. It was wonderful to play in the marching and symphonic bands, as well as with the orchestra.

In addition to your family, who else has inspired you? I've been lucky enough to have many great influences over the years. I studied with Mrs. Pat George and also with Jan Scott from the STL Symphony. Since I grew up in Quincy, I had great conductors in junior and senior high in Mr. Paul Duker, Mr. Eddie Allen, Mr. Wayne Pyle and Mr. Dan Sherman. They challenged their students and really developed my love of music.

Any advice to those who have not played for years? The Quincy Concert Band is a great way to restore your musical interests. Even if you haven't played for years, please come and enjoy our fall and spring Concerts. Maybe you'll decide to join us! We work hard to rehearse and perform but everyone really enjoys the challenge...and the final results. We are a positive and supportive group of musicians.

Concert Band Presents "Cornerstones" on St. Patrick's Day QUINCY CONCERT BAND: CORNERSTONES Sunday, March 17 at 2:30 pm Quincy Junior High School For well over 100 years, wind ensembles have performed pieces considered cornerstones for wind bands, and the Quincy Concert Band will bring many of these greatest hits to the stage during its “Cornerstones” concert on Sunday, March 17 at 2:30 pm in Morrison Theater in Quincy Junior High School.

FREE!

Conductor Dr. Trent Hollinger will lead the band through cornerstone pieces composed over the last 120 years, from the 1899 John Philip Sousa march “Hands Across the Sea” to Wayne Oquin’s 2014 award-winning “Affirmation,” that explores the often conflicting emotions that encompass the human condition: life and death, love and loss, darkness and light.

“Many iconic composers have crafted works that continue to inspire and challenge musicians every day. I cannot think of a better way to showcase the Quincy Concert Band than performing some of these cornerstones for our audience,” Hollinger said.

Included in the performance will be Gustav Holst’s “First Suite in E-flat,” which is considered by many to be the first piece composed for the modern wind band, and “Divertimento,” by Vincent Persichetti, who originally started writing the piece with an orchestra in mind. Midway through the prologue, which featured the brass tossing the woodwinds a back and forth movement, Persichetti realized strings were never going to enter and completed it for band.

There is no charge for admission.

However, donations are accepted to assist with the band’s expenses.

Phantom Features Guest Artist and Designers for Opulent Tale Patrick Beasley. Submitted photos.

(L-R) Ben Larson, Ken Phillips and Seth Campbell

PHANTOM March 22-24 & 28-31 Quincy Community Theatre Quincy Community Theatre’s most extravagant production of the season, Phantom, promises to captivate audiences this March!

Set to a gorgeous score with soaring songs, Phantom is a lush interpretation of Gaston Leroux’s classic novel, The Phantom of the Opera. With a script

by Arthur Kopit and music and lyrics

by Maury Yeston, Phantom whisks patrons away to Paris at the turn of the nineteenth century.

Within the walls of the Opera House, a tale of betrayal, murder, vengeance, and salvation is woven between the tragic titular character Phantom/Erik, and his mesmerizing protégé Christine Daaé.

The Phantom lives for beautiful music and offers to be Christine’s mentor.

Turmoil arises when the Opera House manager and Phantom’s confidante, Gérard Carrière, is fired. He is replaced

by Carlotta, Christine’s rival as the new diva. Carlotta’s husband Cholet, Philippe de Chandon—Christine’s roguish love interest, an exhilarating ensemble of cryptic characters, and graceful ballet dancers complete the impressive cast.

After a nationwide search, Patrick Beasley of Kansas City was selected for the lead role of The Phantom/Erik.

"I couldn't be more excited to return to Illinois, and to this incredible role,” said Beasley. “It isn't very often that actors are able to revisit a role, which we’ve played before, and I am very thankful to Brandon and the generous community at Quincy Community Theatre for inviting me to do so. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in this fantastic arts community, and becoming a small part of the QCT family!"

“This is a show I have wanted to direct for years,” said Brandon Thomsen, Artistic Director, “and I am overthe-moon excited that the time has come to do it at QCT. The characters are richly defined; we laugh with them, and we cry with them. It’s a full theatrical experience.”

Phantom is under the direction of Brandon Thomsen, with music direction

by Ben Larson, choreography by Cheryl Kaiser, technical direction by Lorne Kelley, scenic design by Seth Campbell, lighting design by Ken Phillips, costume design by Tania Ballve, sound design by Josh Hoenshell and stage management by Dan and Jeri Conboy.

Audiences can get a sneak peek of the show during “Discovery Night” on Monday, March 11 at 6 pm. This one hour, backstage, behind-the-scenes look at the making of this musical thriller is free and open to the public. Preregistration is preferred.

Audiences are also invited to meet the cast at the post-show talkback following the performance on Friday, March 29.

Tickets are $22-24, on sale Monday, Feb. 25. Performances are March 22-24 and 28-31. For showtimes, tickets, to RSVP for “Discovery Night,” or to volunteer as an usher, visit 1qct.org or call the QCT Box Office, located in the Oakley-Lindsay Center, at 217-2223209.

Adult Art Party NOT YOUR KID'S ARTFEST Saturday, March 23 Dick Brother's Brewery (929 York St.)

Quincy University’s Gray Gallery, located in Brenner Library, will host an art exhibition featuring works by Kent Hilgenbrink of Ursa from February 8–28.

The exhibition will feature metal reliefs.

Hilgenbrink received his bachelor in fine arts from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale in 1983. He is a member of the Quincy Art Center, Artist Guild and the Great River Watercolor Society.

Beginning March 4, Gray Gallery will host an art exhibition featuring works

by Howard Kuo of Hannibal, Mo. This exhibition will run through March 29. The exhibition will feature watercolor pieces.

“Painting is a realistic and practical way to project one's dreams on paper,” said. Kuo. "Art furnishes me the right tool to create my own world of fantasy."

Howard Kuo. Submitted Photo.

Kuo, a retired physical therapist, was born in Manchuria, the Northeast region of China. A self-taught artist, he began his own exploration into art by drawing pictures for his children to color. As his children grew, they requested pictures that told a story and Kuo responded with detailed drawings with reoccurring themes of castles and magic.

“Painting is a realistic and practical way to project one’s dreams on paper,” said Kuo. “Art furnishes me the right tool to create my own world of fantasy.”

Infusing Wood Into Unique Art Drew Sutor has been working

wood for years. He started out turning pieces of wood into a bowl or a vase lathe, but now he adds a dimension that transforms them into artisan quality heirlooms.

Starting with woods native to the Midwest including oak, walnut, maple and hickory, Sutor then infuses colorful exotic woods such as bloodwood, winge, katalox and purple heart into beautiful and unique forms of art.

In woodworker terminology, the process is known as “segmented turning.” It requires a lot of time, precision cuts, tricky glue techniques and exacting (sometimes exasperating) finishes!

When asked how long it takes to make a bowl or vase, Sutor says “It’s a little bit less than forever!” His wife Karen says that’s okay because now that he

is retired from a pastoral career, he has nothing better to do. His wife also said, “Drew has every tool known to man.” To which Drew’s responded that he is “only one tool away from greatness.”

In addition to bowls and vases and a good sense of humor, Sutor enjoys making rolling pins with checkerboard and swirling designs, inlaid boxes, unique wine bottle and glass holders, wine bottle toppers and urns.

Sutor’s work is on display and for sale at Alliance Art Gallery, 112 N Main, in downtown Hannibal.

As a member of Quincy's Woodworkers Guild, Sutor invites you to attend a meeting, which takes place on the first Monday of each month. Please email quincywoodworkersguild@gmail.com to learn more about becoming a member.

The site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated National Historic Landmark.

Free Frank lived in New Philadelphia from 1836 until his death in 1854. He purchased freedom for 16 members of his family. They worked as farmers and artisans in the town. His heirs used their inheritance to free seven more relatives.

In 1869, the new railroad bypassed the town, which rapidly declined in population, with no residents remaining after the 1920s. In recent years, the site has been the location of archeological studies. To learn more about the town and Free Frank visit newphiladelphiaillinois.org.

FREE FRANK'S LEGACY Saturday, Feb. 2 at 1 pm Quincy Public Library Learn About Free Frank McWorter and his Local Legacy Many enslaved people in the United States had few options and they often took great risks to gain freedom and make a life for themselves and future generations. One such person, Frank McWorter, was able to save money and gain his freedom from slavery in 1819.

In 1830 McWorter migrated with freed family members to the Illinois prairie where he established the town of New Philadelphia in 1836. He eventually was able to purchase his remaining family members and freed them from slavery.

Descendants of this man, who came to be known as Free Frank, will visit Quincy Public Library on Saturday, Feb. 2 to share details about their heroic ancestor. Gerald McWorter and Kate Williams-McWorter will talk about Free Frank’s trials and tribulations and how he went on to make history. Last summer, the McWorter’s book, New Philadelphia was published. “New Philadelphia is a small place with a big story…,” the book’s epilogue states.

Located near Barry, Illinois, the town was the first in the US to be registered 30

by Alma Thomas, African American expressionist painter and art educator, at the Craft Corner family event on Friday, Feb. 15. The project will let your inner artist come out to create your own interpretation of a color field while painting.

Thomas, Howard University’s first fine arts graduate, began a 35 year teaching career in 1924. After retirement, she concentrated on her own art, developing her distinctive signature style, exhibiting it for the first time at the age of 75. Her works are large, abstract paintings filled with patterns of bright colors.

FILM SCREENING: THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE Saturday, Feb. 23 at 1 pm Central Park Five: A Documentary with Human Rights Commission Visit Quincy Public Library on Saturday, Feb. 23 for a special screening of the compelling documentary, Central Park Five. The film, by Ken Burns and Sarah Burns, tells the story of five teenagers who were arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for a horrid crime. After the teens spent many years in prison, the true criminal confessed. The critically acclaimed film presents a captivating look at the prison system in the United States. It addresses racism, prejudice and politics. Following the film, Macy Ferguson-Smith, MSW, a member of Quincy’s Human Rights Commission, will facilitate a discussion about the documentary.

Movie Mondays Additional adult movies will be shown during Black History Month at 5 pm every Monday in February. This year’s selections include four films: Queen of Katwe (Feb. 4), Killer of Sheep (Feb. 11), Marshall (Feb. 18), and The Learning Tree (Feb. 25).

“As a place for community, QPL works to include a diverse array of programs and services that serve to educate and enlighten area residents,” QPL’s Manager of Information Services Katie Kraushaar explained. “Community response in previous years for Black History Month has been strong. We invite all community members to come celebrate diversity.”

Take a Closer Look at History With Historical Society BLACK HISTORY MONTH PROGRAM Sunday, Feb. 17 at 2 pm History Museum (332 Maine St.) The History Museum invites you to take a closer look at local history during a program to commemorate Black History Month on Sunday, Feb. 17 at the History Museum at 2 pm.

The focus of the program will be on a local Buffalo Soldier known to family and friends as Garfield, presented by his descendant Troy J. Bailey. Bailey will tell the story of James Abraham Garfield Mosby’s military service during the turn of the century.

In 1898, at the age of 17, Mosby volunteered with the 8th Illinois Infantry, Company I, a Colored Company Unit, during the Spanish American War. Like African-American soldiers before them, the men of Company I were

known as Buffalo Soldiers, a name given by the Native Americans. Bailey will also celebrate Mosby’s life as a musician after his family’s move to Quincy in 1908 and how he was active in the African-American community.

FREE!

The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served after the program.

For more information, call 217-2221835 or visit hsqac.org.

Unsung Heros Celebrated During Open House Mett Morris, of Quincy, will lead a discussion with song complimenting these stories of heroes in Quincy history. The program will celebrate the lives of Fr. Augustus Tolton, the first black priest in America, William “Billy” Dallas, the first black Quincy police officer to die in the line of duty in Illinois, and Col. George Iles, World-War II Tuskegee Airman.

"These influential Quincyans have received deserved recognition in recent years and we will celebrate their lives and contributions during this year’s open house," said Dave Oakley.

Mike Smith shows students from Teen Reach family heirlooms inside the Eell's house.

OPEN TOURS Sunday, Feb. 24 from 1-4 pm Dr. Richard Eells House (415 Jersey St.) The public is invited to the annual tour of the Dr. Richard Eells House on Sunday, Feb. 24, 2019 from 1-4 pm, located at 415 Jersey St. The event is free and the public is welcome.

FREE!

The event celebrates Black History and Dr. Eells' role in helping area slaves to freedom via the Underground Railroad System. This year’s program, Unsung Heroes, will feature a kaleidoscope of stories, song, poetry and discussion tying into some of Quincy’s unsung heroes.

Dr. Richard Eells' and his home in Quincy played a historic role in the struggle to end slavery and help those trying to escape its demeaning grip.

On an August night in 1842, Charley, a runaway slave from Missouri, knocked on the back door of Dr. Richard Eells at 415 Jersey Street in Quincy. Charley was seeking freedom and Dr. Eells, an active Quincy Abolitionist, was there to help. While transporting Charley to the next site on the underground railroad, a posse searching for Charley stopped Eells’ carriage at an area that is now Madison Park and Charley fled.

Regretfully, he was later found and returned to slavery in Missouri.

For his part in the rescue, Dr. Eells was prosecuted through the courts, starting with Circuit Judge Stephen Douglas in Quincy, then the Illinois Supreme Court and finally to the US

Supreme Court. While Dr. Eells was prosecuted and Charley did not find his freedom that night, we invite you to join us to celebrate their efforts to find freedom for all in the pre-Civil war era and celebrate the unsung heroes after the civil war era. The Dr. Richard Eells house is a documented site on the underground railroad.

In addition to entertainment and discussions on Black History, the board of Dr. Richard Eells house will thank the public for its annual support.

"The house is the oldest brick home in Quincy and maintaining it in pristine fashion is no small undertaking. The organization is especially appreciative to those who have supported recent campaigns and the organization's ongoing efforts to repair the roof and weather damage," Oakley said.

The Eells House offers a wide range of local history. Besides the program, you can also view and learn about the work done to refurbish the house and its period furnishings and fixtures. While the program is free, donations are fully tax deductible and any financial support is greatly appreciated. Donations can be made to the “Friends of the Dr. Richard Eells House”, and mailed to P.O. Box 628, Quincy, IL 62306.

Refreshments will be served, so please join to celebrate this important piece of Quincy and U.S. history. For more information, please call 217-257-7647. artsquincy | Feb/Mar 2019

Business Donor Spotlight Klingner & Associates, P.C. Quincy’s historic district and vibrant arts scene are inspirations for Quincybased architectural and engineering firm Klingner & Associates, P.C. (Klingner). Historic preservation is more than a service we offer; it is a passion. CEO Mike Klingner served on Arts Quincy’s architectural committee (the precursor to the Quincy Preserves) to help protect our city's wealth of architecturally significant structures.

The firm has also registered their Quincy offices, including their current home in the Coca-Cola building, on the National Register of Historic Places.

Additionally, Quincy’s vibrant arts community is a major factor when attracting new employees to the firm.

Klingner employees are currently active in organizations such as the Quincy Preserves, Friends of Woodland Cemetery, Quincy Symphony Orchestra, Historical Society of Quincy & Adams County, Quincy Park District and Quincy Community Theatre, among others. By supporting Arts Quincy and its partner organizations, Klingner employees are making a positive impact on our community.

The leader in local cable television advertising,

Spectrum Reach is a proud sponsor of Arts Quincy!

Individual Donor Spotlight Ann Miller Titus For as long as I can remember, I have loved making things. I make things from bits of fabric and thread in much the same tradition as my grandmothers, stitching story from color and pattern and texture.

Sometimes that story connects with others: people I do not know and with whom I have very little in common.

When such a connection is made, my world becomes a little brighter, a little broader, and a whole lot more enjoyable. I begin to understand myself better when I engage with others who are different from me.

This community places great value on the connections made through art and creative activity, so much so that it founded an organization designed to do just that. For over 70 years, Arts Quincy has helped us share our stories. For over 70 years, Arts Quincy has helped us connect to one another, making us happier and stronger.

I believe in the power of those connections and that is why I believe in and support Arts Quincy.
