Conducted by Music Director Kate Tamarkin, the concerts open with Johannes Brahms’s Variations on a Theme by Haydn. Haydn’s joyful and humorous Symphony No. 104, dubbed the “London”, provides the other bookend. In between, the orchestra’s Principal Trombone, Nathan Dishman, performs the Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra by Launy Grondhal, a Danish composer from the early 20th century. Rounding out the program is the world premiere of London Town Fantasy by Virginia composer Antonio García. London Town Fantasy was commissioned by the Charlottesville Symphony Society, a non-profit organization that provides administrative, financial and marketing support to the orchestra. García, who is also an Associate Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, has taken Haydn’s “London” Symphony as his point of departure in this new work for trombone and orchestra. He includes a clever fusion of the theme from the symphony’s finale with a nod to George and Ira Gershwin’s famous ballad, A Foggy Day (in London Town), recorded by Wynton Marsalis, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughan, David Bowie and many others. Nathan Dishman is a member of the music faculty at the University of Virginia. During the 2013-14 academic year, he is serving as a Visiting Professor at Morehead State University in Kentucky. He also maintains a busy freelance schedule, playing regularly in orchestral, jazz, recording and church settings. He is a former member of the acclaimed Fountain City Brass Band, Kansas City Symphony Brass Ensemble and Des Moines Symphony.
Both performances are sponsored by Castle Hill Cider. Know the Score pre-concert lectures will be presented 45 minutes before each concert.

: BOOK Celebrating TWENTY Years
H
ow many books do you read each year? How many do you first hear about at the Virginia Festival of the Book? A five-day celebration designed to honor book culture and promote reading and literacy, the festival has enchanted readers, encouraged writers, and made Charlottesville a book lover’s paradise every March since 1994. This year’s 20th annual festival, March 19-23, largely on and around Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall and the University of Virginia grounds, will feature 134 events for adults and oodles more – 71, to be exact – for kids. Most are free.
Orr and Smith will read from their work during the Cities of Poetry program, Wednesday, March 19 at 8:00 p.m. at the Culbreth Theatre. Orr founded the MFA Program in Writing at UVA , where he has taught since 1975. He has published eleven collections of poetry, and his memoir, The Blessing, was one of Publisher’s Weekly’s fifty best non-fiction books of 2003. Smith’s six volumes of poetry include Shoulda Been Jimi Savannah and Blood Dazzler. She was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award and recently won the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize from the Academy of American Poets.
As an anniversary gift, the festival is presenting free evening programs with poets Gregory Orr and Patricia Smith and novelist Alice Hoffman. Free tickets may be reserved at vabook.org or at the UVA Arts Box Office. “These are our gifts back to the community, thanking them for the twentieth anniversary,” says Susan Coleman of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, which produces the festival.

Five acclaimed writers who have delighted audiences at previous festivals will return for Homecoming: A Conversation with Some Favorite Authors, Saturday, March 22 at 8:00 p.m. at the Paramount Theater. Sonia Manzano is author of The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano, a young adult novel set in New York City’s Spanish Harlem in 1969, plus the picture books No Dogs Allowed! and A Box Full of Kittens. She’s also a star and Emmy Award-winning writer on a certain beloved television show. “We always have lots of young men who want to come see her,” Cole-
Alice Hoffman has written youngadult and children’s fiction, but she’s best known for blending fairy tales, romance, and magical realism in adult works like Practical Magic (1995) and The Story Sisters (2009). Toni Morrison called her novel The Dovekeepers “a major contribution to twenty-first century literature.” Hoffman’s newest novel, Museum of Extraordinary Things, is a love story set in early 20th-century Brooklyn. An Evening with Alice Hoffman: A Twentieth Anniversary Event, will take place on Thursday, March 20 at 8 pm in the Culbreth Theatre.
Gabbin is author of Sterling A. Brown: Building the Black Aesthetic Tradition. Poet and “literary activist” E. Ethelbert Miller has written two memoirs, The 5th Inning and Fathering Words: The Making of An African American Writer. He directs the African-American Resource Center at Howard University. Homecoming program tickets are $20.

Sonia MANZANO man says, “because they fell in love with her when they were little boys watching Sesame Street.” Festival favorite Lee Smith’s eleven honors include the 2002 Southern Book Critics Circle Award, and the 2010 Lifetime Literary Achievement Award from the State of Virginia. Our annual literary blowout “ is my favorite event in the world,” Smith says. “It is like a family reunion. It is so exciting to meet new writers and see old friends. Also, writing is a two way transaction, you know, requiring both writer and reader . . . but we seldom get to meet our readers face to face. I love this opportunity to hear from them for a change.” Smith’s 17th and most recent novel, Guests on Earth, proposes a solution to the unsolved mystery of the fire that killed Zelda Fitzgerald and eight other patients in an Asheville, North Carolina mental hospital in 1948. Poet, children’s book writer and playwright Kwame Alexander has created more than 1000 student authors through his Book-in-a-Day program. His debut young adult novel, He Said She Said, is a Junior Library Guild Selection. Joanne V. Gabbin edited The Furious Flowering of African American Poetry and directs the Furious Flower Poetry Center at James Madison University.
For Garden Lovers from Henry Thoreau to Today is for everyone dreaming of spring. Young adult fiction author Ruth Kasinger blogs on the intersection of gardening, history, and science. Her new book for grownups is A Garden of Marvels: How We Discovered that Flowers Have Sex, Leaves Eat Air, and Other Secrets of Plants. Michael Sims has written on everything from E.B. White to Victorian vampire stories. Fresh Air
Joanne V. GABBIN book critic Maureen Corrigan calls his latest work, The Adventures of Henry Thoreau: A Young Man’s Unlikely Road to Walden Pond), “a rich, entertaining testament to the triumph of a young man who never comfortably fit in, but who made a place for himself, nonetheless.” The program takes place at New Dominion Bookshop, Thursday, March 20 at 6:00 p.m.

Little Stories
Publishing Day
The ability to pick up a book and read it at will is something most adults take for granted – but not the proud adults on the Voices of Adult Learners program, Thursday, March 20 at Buford Middle School. The event will feature 16 stories chosen from more than 100 submissions by new local readers, many of them recent immigrants, in GED, ESL, or volunteer literacy programs. The reception takes place at 5:30 p.m.; readings begin at 6:00 p.m. Audience members will receive a small book with the winning stories. This annual reading “always turns out to be a breathtaking cross section of life,” says Susan Erno, of Charlottesville’s Adult Learning Center. “It’s a wonderful snapshot of our community in little stories.”
“In Charlottesville,” says the VHF’s Jane Kulow, “If you don’t know a writer, you must know ten people who want to be a published writer.” That’s for sure, and that’s why each Publishing Day, Saturday at the Omni Hotel, is packed. This year writers and scribblers of all sorts will want to hear one of the country’s premier publishing experts, Jane Friedman, in the Digital Publishing Landscape program, Saturday, March 22 at 10:00 a.m. Formerly publisher of Writer’s Digest, Friedman is web editor of Virginia Quarterly Review and teaches digital publishing an online writing at UVA. She will speak on what it takes to succeed in today’s rapidly changing publishing world. Seven more “Pub Day” events are scheduled, including programs on building author’s platforms, hooking editors on the first page, and publishing literary work.

Kathleen Curtis Wilson was such a popular guest in her last festival appearance that her books sold completely out. Wilson will join Mary Lyons this year for Two Stories of the Irish in America, Friday, March 21 at 2:00 p.m. at City Space. Wilson’s Textile Art from Southern Appalachia: The Quiet Work of Women features 43 bed coverlets and 2 quilts and demonstrates that the region’s renowned textiles
Kathleen CURTIS WILSON were created to satisfy aesthetic – not financial – need. Lyons’s The Blue Ridge Tunnel: A Remarkable Engineering Feat in Antebellum Virginia tells the story of the Irish miners and African-American slaves who hand-drilled and blasted the Nelson-to-Augusta- County railroad tunnel.

10:00 a.m. at Village School, teens 13 to 18 can receive anonymous feedback from authors Tommy Hays, Andrew Auseon, Carrie Brown, and Susann Cokal. Interested teens should submit one page of their writing to VABookTeenWriters@gmail.com. In Q & A for Teen Writers, Saturday noon at Village School, writers, creative writing teachers, and editors will answer questions about improving writing, studying writing, and writing for a living. Wild About Reading, Saturday, March 22 at 10:30 a.m. at the Virginia Discovery Museum, will facilitate faceto-face encounters between Virginia wildlife species, animal and human. The first 100 young humans will receive a free wildlife-themed book. In the 19th annual Kids Book Swap, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Oakley’s Gently Used Books, kids can trade their own gently used books for others they haven’t read. Chip Kidd has been designing book covers for Alfred. A. Knopf since 1986. Publisher’s Weekly calls them “creepy, striking, sly, smart, unpredictable covers that make readers appreciate books as objects of art as well as literature.” USA Today calls Kidd “the closest thing to a rock star in graphic design today.” He will talk about his career and his
Chip KIDD new book, Go: A Kidd’s Guide to Graphic Design, at 4:00 p.m. in the Monroe Room of the Omni Hotel. StoryFest spills over into Sunday this year, with appearances by twotime Newbery Medal Recipient Lois Lowry and National Book Award recipient Kathryn Erskine. Lowry’s latest book, Son, completes her celebrated Quartet series, set in a seemingly perfect future world. “I have always been impressed by Lois Lowry’s books,” Erskine says. “She is able to say so much and convey so much emotion in strong, stark prose. Number the Stars [about the Danish Resistance during World War II] is one of my favorite books, and I’m excited that The Giver [the first in the
Quartet series] is going to be a movie, since so many kids have read that book.” Born in the Netherlands, Erskine settled in Virginia after living in South Africa, Israel, Canada, and Scotland. In her award-winning 2010 novel, Mockingbird, an 11-year old girl with Asperger’s finds healing from grief as she learns that life isn’t always black and white. In her latest book, Seeing Red, 12-year old Frederick “Red” Porter discovers dark family secrets when his father dies and his mother wants to sell the family’s car repair shop. “Growing up, I spent more time overseas than in the U.S.,” Erskine says. “Seeing Red is inspired by the racism I saw as a child, both in the south and in South Africa. I didn’t want today’s youth to forget the people and events of the Civil Rights and post-Civil Rights era. I also want them, and all of us, to think about what still needs to be done.” An Afternoon with Lois Lowry and Kathryn Erskine takes place Sunday, March 23 at 2:00 p.m. in the Culbreth Theatre. Tickets are $10 for adults and $3 for children in grades K-12. Authors love readers. And readers love authors. “I have been coming to the festival from California for years, and wouldn’t miss it,” Kathleen Curtis
Wilson says. “The way it’s organized makes it easy to attend numerous presentations each day and still have time to visit with friends, enjoy a stroll on the Mall, and peruse the huge number of books that I want to buy.” Kathryn Erskine lauds Charlottesville’s “rich writing community of poets, novelists, and historians,” and the festival’s “southern hospitality yet worldly outlook. We’re a city of readers and book lovers. Sure, people come from all over but I still like to claim it n as our hometown literary event.”

G
oing “green” is a good strategy for homeowners to save energy and money at the same time. When you look around any home, you’ll see that doors and windows have a big potential to be energy drains—letting in cold air in winter and hot air in the summer. While even Energy Star windows and doors can let in air, older doors and windows are especially vulnerable. Check for obvious leaks by shining a bright light around the edges while someone is inside to see. Then use putty caulk or rope caulk to seal cracks, both on the inside and the outside. Next, install weather stripping which comes in easy-to-install styles from sticky-backed foam to bronze. If air sneaks in under your doors (or windows), think old-fashioned draft stoppers also called “snakes.” They can be purchased inexpensively or you can create your own from fabric remnants or old socks filled with sand or even use a rolled-up towel. With a window, you can just leave the snake on the sill, but for coming-and-going convenience through a door, it’s easy to secure a vinyl “door sweep” to the bottom of the door. Especially for single-pane windows, plastic film insulation is an inexpensive, although not highly durable, option. It comes in kits, can be applied
An Open-andShut Case for
Going Green BY MARILYN PRIBUS
with tape and in some cases a hair dryer is used to shrink it into place. The film can be removed easily at the end of the season and can sometimes be reused. Once the film is installed, you can’t open the window, however, so be sure it is sealed and the lock (which often serves to make the window seal more snug) is secure. You won’t be able to reach window blinds either, so you must decide whether you want blinds open, closed, or partly closed. A more expensive, but practical energy-saving tactic is a vestibule—a small room with an outside door on one side and a well-insulated interior door on another. (Many commercial establishments have them.) A vestibule serves as an air lock, preventing icy (or sweltering) air from pouring in when people are coming and going. It also helps to keep out pollen and dust out. If you lack a vestibule, but have a large foyer, creating an indoor vestibule could be as easy as framing in a wall for that second door. An exterior vestibule can also be built on an existing porch or veranda. It’s also a great option for a high-traffic door where kids are always coming and going. With a bench for boot removal, hooks for coats and jackets and some shelves for storage, it also becomes a mudroom. All a simple vestibule needs is a floor, basic wall framing, a roof, a window or two, and a
door. Since it’s unheated, non-insulated windows and doors work fine. A “door” that many people forget about, is attic access through the ceiling. If it’s simply a removable panel, glue two slabs of 2” rigid foam board insulation to the back and add weather stripping around the lip of the opening. Attic access with pull-down stairs, however, is more complicated because of the folding steps themselves which rest atop the access panel when it’s closed. These hatches are not always well insulated, but there are several strategies. Attic stair “tents” are available in a variety of styles for purchase. A less expensive option for a reasonably handy homeowner employs rigid foam insulation and duct tape to build a light-weight, well insulated and easily removable “box” to provide protection from cold. The vent for whole-house fan can also be a big heat loser in winter and should be covered with insulation. Remember, the sun is your ally in winter, so open your blinds to sunshine whenever possible. When the sun isn’t shining, close your blinds or drapes to keep the warm air inside. If you don’t have drapes, you could temporarily tack up a heavy beach towel in particularly cold weather. In summer, the sun is not your friend so block direct rays with those same blinds and drapes. If your budget allows, purchase insulated “honeycomb” blinds, which work year round. You might be able to supply one room at a time with insulating blinds until your house is completely furnished. For a longer-term strategy, plant deciduous trees near the house to block the sun in the summer, but let it shine in during cold weather. Framing windows with trellises supporting deciduous vines for shade in summer and sun in winter is practical and attractive at the same time. There are useful how-to videos about caulk, weather stripping, insulating window film, attic access insulation, door sweeps, and even building a vestibule on the Internet. So remember, some energy-saving tactics are inexpensive and immediate while others take time and money. Thinking green can become a rewarding way of life, both philosophically and economically. n Marilyn Pribus lives near Charlottesville in Albemarle. In winter, she welcomes the morning sun streaming through a window into her home office. In summer, that same window is completely shaded by a maple tree.
