Lower Merion Symphony Orchestra Celebrates 24th Year Devoted to Giving Free, World-Class, ounded in 1993 and arguably one of the last of its kind, the Lower Merion Symphony Orchestra steadfastly remains true to its founding principal to provide the highest caliber musical performances free of charge to the region. Although virtually all other regional orchestras now charge, the Lower Merion Symphony continues to entertain hundreds of devotees who flock to its performances on several Sundays each year at the Welsh Valley Middle School and Harriton High School. The orchestra is under the direction of visionary Music Director/Conductor, Mark Gigliotti, who is also a veteran coprincipal bassoonist of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Other members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, together with highly talented musicians from the region, donate their time at weekly rehearsals and the concerts because of their love of music and their devotion to Mr. Gigliotti. Gigliotti is a noteworthy musical talent himself and a descendent of a musical family of renown. He constantly challenges the orchestra to grow in their art by playing more complex music by composers such as Strauss, Chopin, Copeland, Wagner and others. According to orchestra President Dr. Sherman Leis, who is also its principal clarinetist, “The Lower Merion Symphony is one of the region’s best kept cultural secrets and obviously its best value. More and more music lovers who are old and young, students and business tycoons, rich and poor, are discovering this remarkable treasure, as our audience continues to grow each year. Each concert is attended by several hundred people, but we have room to welcome more.”

The following concert will be held on Sunday, March 11 at 3 p.m. at Harriton High School, with David Wetherill as conductor, featuring Copeland’s Outdoor Overture and Barber’s Second Essay. Also on the program is Beach’s Symphony No. 1 in E Minor and “Gaelic” Symphony. The orchestra’s final concert on Sunday, May 6 at 3 p.m. at the Harriton High School will feature Wagner’s Scenes from “The Ring of the Nibelung” and Brunhilda’s Immolation, in addition to Sigfried’s Death and Winter Storm from Die Valkerie. No tickets are required. Music lovers are encouraged to just show up. Welsh Valley Middle School is located at 325 Tower Lane E. in Narberth, and Harriton High School is located at 600 N. Ithan Avenue in Bryn Mawr. Said Gigliotti, “We are also looking for top-tier, talented musicians in certain sections. If you have a love of music and would enjoy playing world class music in the company of other highly talented and like-minded musicians, please send an email and we’ll look forward to discussing playing together.” For information about the Lower Merion Symphony, visit www.LowerMerionSymphony.org or contact orchestra President, Dr. Sherman Leis at 610-667-1888.

port the concert prior to the show on the Kimmel Center’s Plaza Stage. The POPS will also host a post-concert dessert reception in support of William Way LGBT Community Center. Wainwright – the vocalist, composer, and songwriter considered one of the greatest of his generation – will join the POPS orchestra on the Verizon Hall stage, under the baton of Music Director Michael Krajewski. Wainwright has said there’s “no better instrument than an orchestra to help illustrate” his music. The 65-piece orchestra will accompany Wainwright through his unique repertoire of pop, art-rock, classical, and opera. Rufus Wainwright has released eight studio albums, three DVDs, and three live albums. He has collaborated with artists including Elton John, David Byrne, Boy George, Joni Mitchell, Pet Shop Boys and producer Mark Ronson amongst others. Wainwright has also distinguished himself by playing original orchestrated pop songs and pieces from an extensive classical repertoire with well-respected opera singers and orchestras around the world. His acclaimed first opera, Prima Donna, premiered at the Manchester International Festival in July 2009 and has since been presented in London, Toronto and BAM in New York. In 2010 Wainwright was commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony to compose and interpret “Five Shakespeare Sonnets,” a five-movement song cycle that sets Shakespeare’s “Sonnets” to orchestra and voice. They have since been performed worldwide by orchestras including the Chicago and Montreal Symphonies. The Canadian Opera Company commissioned Wainwright’s second opera, about Roman Emperor Hadrian, to premiere in Toronto in the fall of 2018. “Rufus Wainwright is an unbelievable talent,” said Frank Giordano, President and CEO, The Philly POPS. “He has a great following in Philadelphia and we’re honored to perform with
him.” Following the concert, the POPS will host a fundraising dessert reception at William Way LGBT Community Center, just a block away from the Kimmel Center, featuring another performance by the Gay Men’s Chorus. Wainwright is expected to attend the reception. VIP Packages will include the best available seating for the concert and inclusion at the reception. Proceeds from the reception will benefit William Way, a community center that encourages, supports and advocates for the well-being and acceptance of sexual and gender minorities in the Greater Philadelphia region through service, recreational, educational and cultural programming. Tickets: $35 - $146. VIP Packages: $500. Visit http://phillypops.org/rufus. POPS Presents events expand the Philly POPS reach into a variety of genres and with guest artists of ever-greater reputation and talent, including Andrea Bocelli and Deana Martin. The Philly POPS performs as a founding resident company of The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, and at venues throughout the mid-Atlantic region. The William Way LGBT Community Center seeks to encourage, support, and advocate for the well-being and acceptance of sexual and gender minorities through service, recreational, educational, and cultural programming. The Center is open 365 days a year, offering access to programs and services including a 14,000-volume lending library, peer counseling, discussion groups, art gallery exhibits, a public cyber center, and the John J. Wilcox, Jr, Archives. New programs in 2017 include a partnership with HIAS-PA to assist recently resettled LGBT refugees and a series of LGBT history walking tours developed and conducted with the National Park Service in Philadelphia.

Ken is also the Executive Producer of Field Mouse, a feature film about a teammate on the Philadelphia Stars; and the author of An Improbable Journey about pro athletes at work and play. Ken Dunek’s passion for sports earned him a full scholarship to Memphis State University, where in 1979, he played both basketball and football for the MSU Tigers. The following year, Ken joined the Eagles and received an NFC Championship ring. Ken was briefly a member of the Baltimore Colts, and played in the Hall of Fame game against the Vikings before signing with the NY Giants. Ken finished his pro football career with USFL Champion Philadelphia Stars. In their triumphant 1984 and 1985 seasons, Ken set a record of 11 receptions for 109 yards against Reggie White and the Memphis Showboats, winning two more championship rings. Today, Ken is a college football analyst for ESPN and has appeared on Fox News’ Real World, Sports Talk Live on Comcast SportsNet, and CBS 3 Talk Philly. The “Tasty Talk” luncheon will begin at 12:30 p.m. with passed hors d’oeuvres, then continue with the special media magnet presentation and continues on with the entrée course and ends with a delicious dessert course, all prepared by the award-winning chefs of Yangming and all for only $20 (which includes tax and tip) for each pre-registered guest. Please note that walk-ins will be charged $25 and the prix fixe price does not include the available alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. This concept was conceived by noted realtor Michelle Leonard who has already come into local notoriety as “The Hat Lady.” “The Tasty Talks Luncheon Series has been a great addition,” said Yangming owner, Michael Wei. “It’s a tremendous value and the attendees have learned a great deal about our local media landscape.” All profits from Yangming’s “Tasty Talk” on this occasion will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charity that provides home-away-from-home comforts for families with young children in need of hospital care. Advance reservations are highly encouraged for the series. Tickets can be purchased by calling 610-527-3200 or online at: http://yangmingrestaurant.com/publisher-sports-analyst-and-former-eagle-ken-dunek-to-give-december-tasty-talk/.

Crozer-Keystone/Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center Partnership Welcomes Matthew Wilson, M.D. he Crozer-Keystone/Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center Partnership welcomes Matthew Wilson, M.D. to its team of fellowship-trained hand surgeons. Wilson sees patients at offices located in Havertown (2010 West Chester Pike, Suite 330) and Glen Mills (500 Evergreen Drive, Suite 10). He performs surgical procedures at the Crozer-Keystone Surgery Center at Haverford and the Crozer-Keystone Surgery Center at Brinton Lake. Wilson earned his medical degree from the University of Kansas in Kansas City, KS and completed his fellowship training at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.

Matthew Wilson, M.D. has joined the Crozer-Keystone/Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center Partnership. Wilson partners with his patients not only as their physician, but as their teacher. He believes that knowledge is power, and that an educated patient will participate in the decision-making process – resulting in improved function and quality of life. It’s a role he takes seriously: Wilson serves as adjunct professor at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, and has taught middle school math and science to students in Camden, NJ as part of the Teach for America Corps. The latter experience allowed him to work with some of America’s most disadvantaged students and promote educational equity in an underserved community. Since its inception in 2012, the Crozer-Keystone/Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center Partnership joined together the renowned hand specialists of Crozer-Keystone Health System with the experts of the Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center (PHSC). PHSC is known throughout the region and around the world as the preeminent resource for the latest advances and knowledge in diagnosing and treating injuries, diseases and disorders of the hand and upper extremity. PHSC’s team of fellowship-trained physicians leads the way in developing and providing intricate limb-saving techniques and procedures that restore function and quality of life. They are routinely sought out for their expertise: They act as reviewers for peer-reviewed publications; they fellowship-train the next generation of hand specialists; and they host the largest hand surgery/hand therapy meeting in the world each year in Philadelphia. Call 1-855-5-CK-HAND (1-855-525-4263) or visit crozerkeystone.org/Hand to learn more, schedule an online appointment, or view the office locations of the Crozer-Keystone/Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center Partnership’s physicians.

This fall, a priority for Friends’ Central was providing relief for the many families affected by the hurricanes this year. The Upper Friends’ Central Lower School students hosted a “Run for Relief” raising money and School student-led service comawareness for victims of the recent hurricanes in Puerto Rico. mittee organized a collection of items for flood clean-up kits and hygiene kits. Families in all three divisions donated items like laundry detergent, household cleaners, dish soap, work gloves, and dust masks, collecting enough items for dozens of kits, which were delivered to UMCOR and transported directly to communities impacted by hurricanes Irma, Jose, and Maria. In the Lower School, students were encouraged to donate coins or dollar bills earned from chores at home or other sources to show their support for folks in hurricane zones. Donations were collected during the month of September and went to support organizations in the Houston area. The Lower School got moving again in November, with Nursery to grade 5 students “Running for Relief,” running/walking 3800 laps around the gym during their P.E. classes, raising $517 to be donated to UNICEF for ongoing hurricane relief. Check out this video with highlights from the event! Also in the Lower School, each classroom prepared a basket with a Thanksgiving meal for a family supported by ElderNet, an organization that serves adults of all ages, especially frail older or younger disabled persons with low or moderate incomes who live in Lower Merion or Narberth. Currently, the Lower School is collecting art supplies under their “giving tree” for The Philadelphia Arts in Education Partnership, which supports learning through the arts. In October, after an initial connection from FCS parent Anita Friday, the Technology Department donated 10 iMacs and 15 projectors to Philadelphia Children’s Foundation, a non-profit that aims to get resources to under-served schools in Philadelphia. In November, Upper School students Benna Berger, Katie Leone, and Emma Malone led Friends’ Central’s Blood Drive for the American Red Cross.

(After me, the darkness) is a dance by Paige Phillips, in collaboration with a cast of three female performers, that will run from January 26-27, 2018 at the Mascher Space Cooperative, 155 Cecil B. Moore Ave., Philadelphia. Tickets are $15 in advance on www.danceboxoffice.com or $18 at door. The work examines a myriad of social and political injustices that women have been forced to endure. By incorporating aesthetic and contextual references from the Renaissance, mid-century, and today’s pop-culture, the content lays witness to the longevity of such indignities. A wild ride of vignettes feature sexually anthropomorphic horses, Francisco Goya’s depictions of witchcraft, and contrived frivolity, amounting to a bold rejection for nostalgic ideals of purity and femininity. New to the city, “Après moi, l’obscuritĂŠâ€? (After me, the darkness) will be Phillips’ premiere into the Philadelphia arts community. She is collaborating with local performers and a visual artist, along with musicians based in Chicago and NYC. The work is conceived as a sequel to “Après moi, le delugeâ€? (After me, the flood), which was first shown 2014 in Columbus, OH. In it, Phillips drew inspiration from the title, a phrase attributed to King Louis the XV of France, which describes the attitude of someone who does not care about the consequences of his actions or how they affect others. It explored abuses from those seeking power, expressed through environmental disaster and political turmoil. “Après moi, l’obscuritĂŠâ€? moves forward to examine the oppression and inequalities that women endure. Unfolding through vignettes, the dancers execute wild, anthropomorphic movements as a way to both reference and reject iconic representations of women as delicate swans in ballet. In another, they dance to the voice of Françoise Hardy, who is upset that no man loves her. The vocabulary abstracts upon 60s vernacular dances, yet are performed without a partner. The qualitative layerings provide a range of emotions from somber to angry, powerful to absurd. As the piece continues, the costumes adapt to each section: the placement of a tulle skirt transforms from a mid-century ball-gown, to a romantic ballet tutu, to a neck ruff seen on dunces. Through time, repetition, and abstraction, references morphing into other connotations extend to additional elements: a horse’s battle cry becomes an orgasm, and a quaint gesture mutates into a profane action. Largely, “Après moi, l’obscuritĂŠâ€? acts as a meditation on how easily women’s struggles split, morph and multiply into the atmosphere. Paige Phillips is an interdisciplinary artist based in Philadelphia, engaging most frequently with dance, installation, and video. Her content is concerned with recontextualizing rituals to better understand identity politics and community formation. Venues, where she has exhibited, include National Museum of Singapore, Bangkok Art and Culture Center, Park Gallery (Kathmandu, Nepal), Microscope Gallery (New York City), Urban Arts Space (Columbus), On the Boards (Seattle), and Pyramid Atlantic (Washington D.C.). In addition to making artwork, she has performed for others throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, for artists such as Cyrus Khambatta, Josiah McElheny, Owen David, and Cai GuoQiang. She holds an MFA in Dance from The Ohio State University with an interdisciplinary specialization in Folklore, a BFA in Dance from Cornish College of the Arts, and a diploma from Interlochen Arts Academy. Phillips was recently an artist in residence at the Marpha Foundation in Nepal, and a dance teacher at International School Bangkok. She is currently an administrator at Mascher Space Cooperative.
