A Whole Lot to Celebrate:

Fall Festivals in Central Virginia

FEATURE

BY KEN WILSON

hy are there so many festivals in Central Virginia every year? Because we have so much to celebrate, of course. From pop music to classical, from fruit to foliage, and from art to antiques, we have an abundance of riches to delight in, this autumn. Here’s a look at how we’ll do it.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

The Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival The Charlottesville Chamber Music Festival is the gift of violinist Timothy Summers and cellist Raphael Bell, two former Charlottesville High School and Julliard classmates now enjoying international careers who return every September to host concerts in some of Charlottesville’s most beautiful spaces. Twenty colleagues will join them this year for seven typically ambitious programs of classical and contemporary compositions, plus a talk with a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. This year’s Festival kicks off Thursday, September 8 at 8:00 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre with an especially intriguing program beginning with Charles Ives’ mysterious “The Unanswered Question,” written in 1908 and revised in the 1930s. Leonard Bernstein believed the question was “whither music?” Ives called the composition a “cosmic drama” in which a trumpet solo poses “the perennial question of existence.” Ives’ query will be followed by a world premiere of a composition by the young British composer Edward Nesbit. His “Funeral Music (after Purcell)” reimagines a work written by the great 17th centu-

ry British composer Henry Purcell for the funeral of Queen Mary—a work later played at his own funeral. Next up is 21st century Japanese composer Toshio Hosokawa’s “The Raven,” a one-act opera in English, with supertitles, based on the Edgar Allan Poe poem of the same name, sung by acclaimed Finnish mezzo-soprano and festival favorite Virpi Räisänen. Pulitzer-Prize winning author Marilynne Robinson has

written extensively on Poe. She will join Summers on stage for a brief conversation on the subject of “Music and Words: Foreign and Domestic.” The Festival’s free, one-hour “concert for all ages,” Friday, September 9 at 12:30 p.m. at the Paramount, will present works by Mozart, Rossini, Benjamin, and Enescu. Music Fresh Squeezed, at Live Arts on Saturday, September 10 at 8:30 p.m., will break the traditional mold for classical music concerts with an evening of mixed programming— Jacques Brel songs, jazz-classical crossovers, percussion improvisations and yes, even selections from the classical repertoire—in a casual setting. Surprises are promised. Refreshments will be sold. On Sunday, September 11 at 3:00 p.m. the Festival moves to the University of Virginia’s Old Cabell Hall, for Paul Hindemith’s Trumpet Sonata, George Frideric Handel’s Arias for Soprano, and Johannes Brahms’ String Sextet in B-flat, Op. 18. On Thursday, September 15 at 8:00 p.m. it heads to V. Earl Dickinson Theater at Piedmont Virginia Community College for Claude Debussy’s “La Mer,” Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s “Aura” for three percussionists, and Dmitri Shostakovich’s “Symphony No. 15 in A major, Op. 141.” On Sunday, September 18 at 3:00 p.m. it’s back to Old Cabell Hall for Ernest Chausson’s “Pièce, Op. 39,” George Enescu’s “Concert Piece,” and Gabriel Fauré’s “Piano Quartet No. 2 in g minor.” Finally, on Thursday, September 22 at 8:00 p.m. at the Paramount, festivalgoers will hear Bohuslav Martinu’s “Duo No. 1 for violin and cello,” George Enescu’s

Heritage Harvest Festival Visitors to Monticello learn that Thomas Jefferson loved vegetables and loved to experiment with how to grow them. Monticello’s Heritage Harvest Festival, hosted by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation in partnership with Southern Exposure Seed Exchange and Seed Savers Exchange, celebrates Jefferson’s agricultural legacy by promoting gardening, sustainability, local food, and the preservation of heritage plants. The 10th annual Festival takes

ber 23 and Saturday September 24 in Charlottesville’s Lee Park. Not the Jefferson who penned the Declaration of Independence and served as the country’s third president necessarily, but the ingenious Jefferson, Jefferson the innovator, the man who designed the Great Clock in the hall at Monticello, and a Spherical Sundial and a cylindrical Wheel Cipher to send secret messages. Jefferson the restless and creative thinker who would be captivated and thrilled by today’s technology, and by the likeminded folks who dream it up. The same folks that bring hundreds of bands, start-ups, artists and visionaries to town each April for the

In past years, Tom Tom’s “The Founding Cville” project has honored 27 artists, civic leaders, and entrepreneurs “whose groundbreaking and original work has impacted Charlottesville and the world,” in so doing inspiring “the next generation of ideas and founders.” The third annual Founding Cville Award, to be presented over the weekend, will recognize more contemporary Charlottesvillians, nominated by the public, “who embody the Jeffersonian spirit of multidisciplinary creativity in art, business and civic leadership.” Banner portraits of these “founders” will hang on Downtown Mall lampposts throughout September.

Cooking programs highlighting the cross-cultural nature of Monticello cuisine will be held in the restored kitchen.

59th Shenandoah Antiques Expo The 59th Shenandoah Antiques Expo, at the Augusta Expoland in Fishersville on Friday October 14 through Sunday October 16, will draw dealers and collectors from up and down the East Coast. Two couples—Raymond and Martha Stokes and Mary and Sanford Ferguson—created the event 30 years ago and still direct it today. “I came to Lynchburg for college in 1961 and married a girl who is a Jamestown descendant,” Raymond Stokes says. “She and Thomas Jefferson share a common grandmother. Her grandfather was captain of the first football team at William and Mary. I guess that makes me almost a Virginian, even if by marriage. It was the beautiful girl and beautiful Central Virginia that pulled me away from my low country South Carolina roots.” Today the Expo is billed as the best indoor/outdoor antiques market in the Mid-Atlantic, but one New York City customer told Stokes it should be advertised as “the best antiques market on the East Coast.” More than 300 antiques dealers from all over the country fill three exhibition halls and three barns, while hundreds of others exhibit on 200 outdoor acres, attracting more than 5,000 people to each event. Americana and high country furniture and accessories predominate, but

exhibitors also show fine jewelry, silver, glassware, primitives, Oriental rugs, and high quality collectables like doorstops and decorated stoneware. Free parking is available on site. Hot dogs, burgers, chips, and the like will be for sale, and sit-down restaurants may be found nearby. “The customers and dealers who come from all over the USA just love the Shenandoah Valley culture, landscape, and people,” Stokes says. “Over the years this event has introduced the area to thousands and thousands of people who would have never known it. Fishersville is a household word in the world of the antiques collector. Several have actually moved to the area.” The Augusta Expo is just off Interstate 64 in Fishersville, only 5 miles from the junction with interstate 81. The Expo is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $10 Friday and $5 Saturday, but shoppers who wish to enter early, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Friday, pay only $10 for a three-day pass.

Wintergreen’s Harvest Fest Weekend Wintergreen will hold its 2016 Harvest Fest Weekend on Friday October 21 through Sunday October 22. Storyteller Bill Wellington will entertain Friday at 8:00 p.m. The ghoulishly fun Spooktacular Workshop, with pumpkins, cookie decorating, and crafts, will be from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Saturday; the cost is $29 for all activities, and reservations are required. The peep roast starts at 4:00 p.m, followed by a Trickor-Treat Parade at 4:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for the best, the most creative, and the creepiest costumes. At 7:00 p.m. it will be time for a family movie (Hotel Transylvania 2) on the big screen. The popcorn, like Wintergreen’s gorgeous mountain views, will be free. n

A Dozen WinterPrep Tips BY MARILYN PRIBUS

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

lthough we still can expect plenty of warm weather in Central Virginia, days are getting shorter, evenings are getting cooler with hints of fall and—well, it’s true— winter is coming. The 2017 Old Farmer’s Almanac—traditionally about 80 percent accurate—predicts this winter will be colder than last year, but with less overall snowfall in our region. It’s time to start thinking about winter prep, so here’s a handy checklist of reminders to get set for what’s ahead. 1. Clean patio and lawn furniture, umbrellas, seasonal toys and such with a mild bleach solution to prevent mildew. Rinse very thoroughly and be sure items are completely dry before storing away for the season. 2. Scrub the grill. Use that wire brush vigorously. If your grill is propane fired, remove the fuel tank and store in a frost-free area. Plan

where you will store the grill out of the weather. If you don’t have shed or garage space, check that your grill cover is still in good shape. 3. Prepare your deck for winter by removing dirt, mildew, or barbecue stains. If your deck is wood, mildew and debris can eventually damage the surface, so it’s important to get rid of “stuff” both on and between the boards. (If you have a composite deck, it’s still important to clean it, but you won’t need to take all the following steps.) 4. Clean thoroughly with a bleachfree wood-formula cleanser. In most cases you can use a spray applicator attached to your garden hose, but be prepared to use some elbow grease with a scrub brush for stubborn spots. If the surface is especially difficult to clean, consider power washing, but be aware this can damage the wood if the setting is too high. 5. Once your deck is clean, inspect the surface, handrails, steps, and

supporting posts for loose nails or screws as well as damaged, soft, or rotten sections. Make repairs if necessary. When the deck is clean and dry, apply a water-repellent finish to protect it against the soggy days of winter. This is the most important step for protecting the deck because it prevents water from penetrating the wood then alternately freezing and thawing. Consult with your local paint store or home supply center for recommendations. You’ll find there are many effective exterior wood finishes from clear water-repellent finishes to semi-transparent or solid stains. These will thwart splitting, cracking and warping.

6. Turn off the water supply to outside spigots to prevent frozen pipes. Empty hoses and store in a frost-free spot. 7. If you have gas-powered equipment such as lawn mowers, chain saws or leaf blowers, either empty

the tanks or add a fuel stabilizer to the tank. Store in a freeze-free place. 8. Check for items that might freeze in a shed or garage and store them somewhere warmer. Paint, for example, shouldn’t be allowed to freeze and aerosol cans can be damaged. Some plastic items don’t do well with being frozen and items like motor oil or car wax are better stored in freeze-free areas. 9. Lift your eyes up to check for ailing trees that could fall on your house or power lines. Are there branches that lose their leaves way ahead of the rest of the tree? This is a warning sign. Do shrubs have branches that already sag in a heavy rain? Prune them back so they don’t break off during a heavy snow or ice storm. 10. Once the leaves have fallen, clean out gutters to prevent them from creating ice dams that can cause leaks by forcing water up under the shingles or even cause the gutters to break off. Don’t forget the downspouts. There are hose adapters to wash out leaves and debris and some leaf blowers have attachments that can whoosh the gutter clear. If you aren’t inclined to shinny up a ladder, hire someone. And for next year, consider gutter guards, especially for difficult-to-reach sections. 11. Do some reconnaissance around the house. Inspect for breaks in the siding or loose shingles on the roof. Check for spots where critters looking for a warm winter den might sneak in. After dark, look around doors and windows for light shining from inside and mark these air leaks for caulking. 12. If your heat pump or furnace hasn’t been on for a while, consider having it professionally serviced. A number of area service companies run specials this time of year and some electric companies offer rebates toward getting your equipment tuned up. Don’t get caught short during that first really cold spell when many heating repair companies are overwhelmed. Replace your furnace filter. Disposables can be vacuumed once to extend their use, but then it’s time to discard old filters in favor of fresh ones. Follow up on this checklist and be prepared for whatever Mother Nature has in store for us this winter. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. They faithfully use this check list every year.
