RING ‘MASTER’ Mancuso displays stunning flex appeal

ark Damisch is a big believer in iconic Chicago architect Daniel Burnham’s maxim, “Make no little plans.” This month, the Chicago attorney will embark from his Northbrook home on a 37-night trip to 13 countries. But he is not going as a tourist. He will perform 25 piano recitals.

Damisch began these tours 42 years ago. This is his 18th consecutive summer trip. But Damisch is not a professional musician. Though a virtuoso performer who has sold out international concert halls, he considers himself more a goodwill ambassador whose passion for classical music serves as a cultural bridge.

The overseas concerts are a labor of love for Damisch (he and Patty, his wife of 35 years, raise the funds). In past years he has toured Continued on PG 7

Lake Forest Sportscars Chief Operating Officer and amateur boxer Adam Mancuso cruised to a victory in the ring last weekend in Highwood, stopping reigning Golden Gloves winner Dave Pineda by technical knockout at the 34-second mark of the first round. The 39-year-old father of three daughters (with his wife, physician Shayna) and two-time Golden Gloves champion (Masters division, in 2015 and 2016) fought in the main event at the 12-fight “Rumble at the Highwood Rec Center” on July 22. Mancuso—a Lake Forest resident and a 1996 Lake Forest High School graduate with an extensive background in martial arts—improved to 4-0 in the ring.

Fielding said scoring at the game is monitored, but not formally, and that the Journey of Hope cyclists don’t play a full game. Instead, relief comes after halftime when members of the Northwestern Football team take their place, demonstrating firsthand the challenges disabled athletes must overcome.

“Many of the Northwestern players last year were surprised to discover how difficult wheelchair football really is,” said Fielding. “I overheard one of them saying, ‘We play football all the time and this is tough.’”

As part of the NSYMCA’s pregame entertainment, young players from the North Shore Youth Football league were scheduled to meet the Northwestern players and ran football drills in youth-sized wheelchairs.

“The Journey of Hope team’s visit has become a cherished Y tradition, and our partnerships with GLASA, Northwestern Football, and North Shore Youth Football have expanded the event to bring a wider spectrum of the community together,” said Kim Nyren, the NSYMCA’s director of community investments.

Organizers said the event is designed to raise awareness and support for local families with disabilities, a group the North Shore YMCA loves to rally behind.

“Journey of Hope’s motto is that no one should sit on the sidelines,” said Nyren. “This event is visual proof that this is possible.”

CLASSIC Cont. from PG 1 and performed with daughters Kristina, Katherine, and Alexandra, but not this year; Kristina is getting married in August and Alexandra is working on her Masters from DePaul University. Katherine just completed her Masters from Northwestern, and is getting married in December.

His itinerary will include Lisbon, Madrid, Zagrev, Belgrad, Sarajevo and the Soviet Union.

Damisch has played in Russia for 40 years. This has led to some disconcerting encounters with representatives from both sides.

“In 1975, I went to the Russian embassy to talk about doing a concert tour across the TransSiberian railroad,” Damisch said, “and the next day, the FBI called to ask what I was doing at the embassy. On the other hand, I’ve had Russian officials stop me on the street in St. Petersburg to ask how my brother was doing on the (nuclear-powered aircraft carrier) Nimitz. Everyone knows what everybody else is doing.”

Damisch, 60, grew up in Northfield. Enthralled by his parents’ classical music record collection (“I didn’t hear a rock song until I was in the eighth grade,” he joked), he began playing the organ at age four, but switched to piano because he wanted to play Beethoven’s “Emperor” piano concerto. He played his first concert at age seven.

In his senior year at New Trier West, he traveled with the school choir to perform in the Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg, which provided the backdrop for “Do Re Mi” in the film version of the musical The Sound of Music. The next year, at 18, he embarked on his first international tour. His parents were supportive, he said, but told him they would not pay for it. To raise money, he performed a concert at the Glenview Community Church. Friends helped him sell tickets and the concert sold out.

Damisch did not tour between the ages of 25-43. In that time, he joined the State’s Attorney’s office, where he prosecuted corrupt officials in Chicago. He later joined his father’s law firm, which he now heads. He also served three terms as the mayor of Northbrook, where he has lived for 35 years.

It was more than his professional career that kept him off the stage. He suffered from debilitating stage fright. But at the dawn of the millennium, he was inspired to return to the concert stage. It was not until about two

years ago, Damisch said, that he came to terms with his condition.

He credits Sue Young, a choir director at Northwood Jr. High, with setting him straight. She emphatically told him, he said, “You don’t realize how good you are. You can do this. You need to figure it out.”

A hallmark of Damisch’s concerts is that proceeds go to a local charity. He wells up at one cherished memory. Four years ago, he played the grand Hermitage Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, in a sold-out show that raised money for a six-year-old boy in need of stomach surgery. The boy was in attendance. Two years later, Damisch was invited to perform at the palatial home of Vladimir Putin (they did not meet, but Damisch was allowed to sit in his chair in his home office). During the concert introduction, a deputy ambassador surprised Damisch by bringing the same boy onstage. The surgery had saved his life.

A photo of Damisch giving the boy a hug sits on his desk.

That concert was meaningful

for another reason. Patty was in attendance. “She is the rock of the family,” he said. “Every single day for nine months listening to me practice; it must have been like Chinese water torture. But to see her in the audience during one of my life’s most important moments, and to see her give me a ‘thumb’s up,’ meant the world to me.”

Performing in Russia supplied Damisch with another indelible memory.

On this occasion about 12 years ago, his parents had accompanied him. The concert was at the House of Friendship with Peoples of Foreign Countries.

“When the concert was over, my father and I were standing by the door about to leave when two Russian soldiers approached us,” he recalled. “They had defended St. Petersburg against the Nazis.

They told us, ‘We really believe in what you are doing,’ and they took their Soviet army pins off of their lapels and they gave them to me and my father.” (His father, 91, is still offering his son courtroom advice).

His latest concert tour comes at a time of global tumult and strained relations between the United States and Russia.

Damisch recalls another concert

there a few years ago that reminded him of why these trips are an imperative to him.

“At the reception afterward,” he said, “(my wife and I) got to

talk with the people. They met us one on one and they realized we are nice caring people. We hope we are changing their impressions of Americans.”

FAST AND FURIOUS Lake Forest Sportscars COO Mancuso needs only 34 seconds to stop foe in the boxing ring

BY BILL MCLEAN, SPORTS@NORTHSHOREWEEKEND.COM

ADAM’S JAB: Adam Mancuso warms up prior to his Main Event bout at the “Rumble at the Highwood Rec Center” last weekend. PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOEL LERNER

A

dam Mancuso’s 6-foot-2, 177-pound frame soared in a boxing ring last weekend. As the Chief Operating Officer of Lake Forest Sportscars and amateur pugilist returned to the surface, he flexed his arms and roared.

Mancuso, 39, then landed on

his feet, producing a thunderous thud that lingered for a while at the Highwood Rec Center on July 22.

Mancuso repeated the celebratory act seconds later.

“I’d never seen him get that excited,” said his wife, Shayna, a physician who, along with a

healthy throng of Adam’s family and friends, had donned a white “Adam ‘Da Bomb’ Mancuso” T-shirt for the occasion — the main event at the 12-fight “Rumble at the Highwood Rec Center”.

Each fight was scheduled for three rounds.

Mancuso’s display of intense joy inside the ropes followed his devastatingly efficient defeat of reigning Golden Gloves Masters division champion Dave Pineda.

Mancuso — a two-time Golden Gloves Masters champion (2015, 2016), a 1996 Lake Forest High School graduate and a father of

three daughters (Bria, 10; Elise, 8; and Demi, 3) — needed only 34 seconds in the first round to record a technical knockout and improve his record to 4-0.

A mere 10 seconds in, the referee had to interrupt the bout to give Pineda a standing eight count. Mancuso, shortly thereaf-

ter, unleashed a flurry of lefts and rights with his daunting, Michael Phelps-ian 6-foot-7 wingspan, before the ref halted the match for good.

“I came out hard,” said Mancuso, who started training as a boxer about four years ago, nearly 18 years after he earned a

Its signature concerts collaborate with well-known featured soloists from both the world of symphony music and other musical genres, such as folk, jazz and pop.

OSC gets behind the forces of quality and innovation to expand the number of classical music enthusiasts in the city and suburbs.

The OSC, in a way, is the CSO’s (Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s) younger, scrappy, creative little sibling.

“Classical music tends to attract an older audience,” says Smoler, who comes from a family of pastors and music ministers and played in touring orchestras for Josh Groban and Sarah McLachlan at concerts held at Northerly Island in Chicago last

Plans are in place for DePaul University’s School of Music to become OSC’s home base in 2018. Smoler mentions the Northbrook Symphony and Highland Park Strings as potential OSC partners in the venture to net young orchestral fans and inspire them to develop a lifelong interest in classical music.

OSC produces four to five concerts each year and offers an assortment of entertainment options for smaller events, e.g. a string quartet for a private party or a chamber group for a wedding reception.

Smoler’s first day on the job was in early January.

“To grow OSC, to make it more visible,” Smoler says. “How do we get this to pop?

“One of the many rewards of my position is seeing our musicians get the recognition they deserve.”

One of her challenges outside the music halls and the walls of justice occurred in 2013, at the age of 33. Smoler was in court when she felt searing pain in her stomach. She thought it was an ulcer; it was a rare form of stomach cancer instead. Smoler underwent surgery 10 days later.

“My kids were 3 and 6,” says Smoler, an avid jogger. “Life become more precious. Being a mother and a member of a family became more important to me.

It was then that I focused more on the creative part of my life.

“What could I do to make the world a more beautiful place?”
