Children’s Choir prepares to share voices in Europe By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com

When the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir travels to Europe this summer, the young singers will have a unique musical moment on their itinerary. The youths will visit famed locations and even sing in beautiful cathedrals, Executive Artistic Director Jonathan Busarow said. “Unlike other visitors to Hungary, our students will have an opportunity to demonstrate their command of the Kodály method as active participants with their Hungarian peers when they visit the Kodály (“Ko-dye”) Institute in Kecskemet, Hungary,” he said. Busarow said Zoltan Kodály created the music methodology that the children’s choir follows daily. “The Kodály method teaches students how to be musically literate,” Busarow said.

Allison Gutierrez and Allison McQueen share in a program with the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir’s Concert Choir.

In an email, he explained: “The Kodály method uses a set of syllables, solfege, to teach people to read music.” Busarow said 39 members from the Concert Choir and the Youth Chorale — the high school ensemble — will leave June 24 to perform in Hungary,

Germany and Austria. They will return July 3. “We’ve been fundraising for this tour for two years, and the students have been fundraising like crazy for this trip, and to date students have raised $13,000,” Busarow said. The youth will visit composers’ birthplaces, the Hungarian parliament

Club members meet at the Fort Wayne restaurant at 11 a.m. the fourth Saturday of each month. Their music is free to the public. “Can’t Help Falling in Love” with a reggae twist was heard next. For 90 minutes, soloists, duets and the entire club played and sang songs from decades past.

Earth Day Fort Wayne April 24 at Eagle Marsh Earth Day Fort Wayne at Eagle Marsh predicts an even bigger crowd for the 2016 event. The free, family-friendly outing will be held from 1-5 p.m. Sunday, April 24. “Last year this event attracted more than 2,200 participants, and we expect more this April,” said Amy Silva, executive director of event host Little River Wetlands Project. Earth Day Fort Wayne will be held at LRWP’s Eagle Marsh preserve, 6801 Engle Road, Fort Wayne. Organizers said Earth Day will have something for everyone, from a deco-

Presenting sponsors include AEP/Indiana Michigan Power, Aqua Indiana, General Motors and NIPSCO, with further support from a Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities grant through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Many of the day’s presentations and activities will focus on conservation, including environmentally-friendly landscaping. Attendees can vote for the

most attractive rain barrel (donated by Aqua Indiana and Craft Laboratories, then decorated by a school or Scout group) and bid on the barrels for their own yards, with the proceeds supporting LRWP. To help pollinators such as butterﬂies and hummingbirds, native plants will be available for purchase and guests will be invited to plant native plants at the preserve. The event will also feature: • Booths at which event sponsors provide conservation tips and giveaways. • Booths of local envi-

ronmental groups offering information about their work on behalf of nature and conservation. • Demonstrations of native raptors such as owls and hawks, by Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehab. • Presentations by experts on a variety of nature topics. • Free colorful Earth Day Fort Wayne T-shirts

Suzie Swinehart of Fort Wayne keeps up the pace en route to a Guinness World Records mark. At 8 p.m. March 4, Swinehart completed 12 hours of running on a treadmill. In that time, she ran a distance of 73.3 miles, breaking the previous women’s record of 68.56 miles. Swinehart was allowed to take brief periods of time off the treadmill for bathroom breaks and wardrobe changes.

Embassy tribute concert, ﬁlm series tickets ready The Embassy Theatre will pay homage to its Grande Page pipe organ with several events in June, sponsored by Hylant. The annual Buddy Nolan tribute concert will be at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 5, at the Embassy, 125 W. Jefferson Blvd., Fort Wayne. Tickets are $8 adults and $3 for children 12 and under. Nolan played many concerts at the Embassy and was instrumental in helping to save the Embassy from demolition. A nationally-known organist, Nathan Avakian, will be at the console this year with a show that the Embassy said will satisfy contemporary music lovers and give tribute to the historical legacy of the theater organ. The Embassy’s Blackand-White Film Series for 2016 will feature the 1928 version of “Steamboat Bill Jr.,” starring Buster Keaton and featuring Embassy house organist Cletus Goens on the Grande Page. The ﬁlm begins at 7 p.m. Monday, June 13. At 7 p.m. Monday, June 20, the love story “Sunrise” from 1927 will

be on the big screen with Clark Wilson returning to the Embassy to play the Grande Page. The Embassy’s ﬁnal selection for the season is the Cecil B. DeMille classic “The Ten Commandments” from 1923, at 7 p.m. Monday, June 27. This movie will feature Fort Wayne native Mark Herman on the Grande Page. Herman got his start playing at the Embassy and now plays more than 30 concerts a year around the world. Tickets for the blackand-white movies are $8 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under. For summer family fun the Embassy offers Behind the Screen from 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, June 22. This event features two black-and-white movies, “A Trip to the Moon” and “Backstage.” After the ﬁlms, kids get a peek “behind the screen” when stage hands disassemble and store the giant movie screen. The day continues with more than 16 different hands-on activities throughout the Embassy. Behind the Screen is presented by Hylant and

4-H archery class covers safety, ethics, technique

CHOIR from Page A1 ACDA invitation represents a special honor for the choir. “Gospel choirs, community choirs, children’s choirs like ours. You name it, they’re there,” he said. “So how did we get there? We went through a very rigorous audition process. We sent them three years of recordings and in those three years the FWCC rose to the top, which is an excellent thing for our organization,” he said. Officials who reviewed the tapes were judging blind, without knowing which choirs submitted the tapes. “It’s our first time going. It’s the first time anyone from the Fort Wayne area has gone. And, other than Indianapolis, we’re the only other choir from the state that has gone,” he said. Five members of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic

UKES from Page A1 “I come up as often as I can. I can’t make it every month,” he said. “I play a couple different instruments and share my songs and I really enjoy playing songs that we’re all familiar with.” Not everyone in the audience was familiar with the music. Regina Dance of Fort Wayne had come for pizza. “We were surprised,” she said. “I liked it. I actually enjoyed it. I actually knew a couple of the songs.” Her son, DiQuan Dance, agreed that the music was a surprise. “It was quite unexpected, but when we got here we couldn’t do anything but go along with it, and we kind of enjoyed it,” he said. At another booth, Kelly Francher, Robert Homan and Dan Sosenheimer were just as surprised. “It’s a nice little treat,” Francher said. Sosenheimer said he does not play an instrument. “But we were talking and we might have to try it,” he said. Restaurant General Manager Andy Dent said diners appreciate the music. The club traces its path from a workshop at Sweetwater Sound, to a private home, to the more spacious ukulele hub at Folkcraft, and to a southwest location just off I-69 that is more central for many of the players. “We had the ukuleles downstairs and patrons were saying they weren’t able to enjoy it,” Dent said. So the group moved upstairs. Guests still may listen and applaud from 10 feet away, or may ﬁnd conversation easier in the partitioned lower level. Dent said the most common feedback has been questions about the next ukulele date. “We’re trying to get the word out,” he said. A typical Saturday might attract 15 to 40 ukulele players, said TRU co-founder Mike Rauch. “It varies according to the weather and people’s schedules,” he said. “But they’re really gracious to open up the facility to us.” He said the move from the lower garden level to the upper level went smoothly. “We just kind of move things around,” he said. “We play for about an hour and a half and then we stop and we all have lunch. People in the crowd sing along. They’re clapping. They’re enjoying it. “It’s been a nice marriage for us. Some people hear us once and come back again. We’re really getting positive feedback. And some of the people say ‘Can you play such and such a song?’ We’re just here to have a good time, and enjoy the community and just make people happy. “We have people from Ohio and Michigan and

Jerry Noble leads a Fort Wayne area ukuleles club in a free performance.

from around Indianapolis and Greencastle and from Columbia City and Syracuse, and of course from the Fort Wayne metro area. And they partake, and say, ‘We’re gonna come back.’ ” Rauch and his wife, Susan, live in the Village of Buckingham near Georgetown Square on Fort Wayne’s northeast side. They play with the ukulele group. And, as The Boots with Roots, they play other instruments for retirement villages from Fort Wayne to Warren and Bluffton.

Mike plays the American Indian wood ﬂute. Susan plays the clarinet and keyboard. “We play music from the ’20s and ’30s and ’40s and sometimes even into the ’50s, but we play the music that they’re familiar with, so they can remember back to the good old days,” he said. On a recent Saturday morning, the couple played “Let it Be Me.” Co-founder Jerry Noble introduced the artists and songs. “ ‘Catch the Wind,’ remember, is in 6/8 time,” he said.

Noble said the ukulele can be bought for as little as $100. “You can pay a lot more than $100,” he said. “With only four strings, it’s a lot easier to play than a lot of other instruments. It’s a fun and inviting instrument.” “How can you play the ukulele and not be happy?” Rauch said. Mary Jane Casiano of New Haven is another of the club’s ﬁrst members. She owns several ukuleles, including one she bought in Hawaii. Her husband, Ray Casiano, owns two ukuleles and has been playing for about a year. “I’m always going to be a beginner,” he said.
