The Abrams
I
t’s hard for John and James Abrams to recall a time in their young lives when they weren’t creating and playing music together. As fourth-generation musicians, the Abrams have already taken the “family business” to a whole new level — with their recent signing with Warner Music, and the release of their debut self-titled album under a major label. Still only in their mid-twenties, they have been taking their distinct Americana/Country sound on worldwide tours for over sixteen years, and have been featured on major United States networks like CMT, NBC, FOX, and NPR. Additionally, the Abrams are among the youngest performers to ever play the world-famous Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. Last year, their debut single, Fine, charted in the Top 40 on Country Radio. With deep family roots in bluegrass and gospel music, their performances feature a virtuosic blend of original songs produced by Grammy Award-nominated producer Gavin Brown Three Days Grace, Lady Gaga/ The Midway State, The Tragically Hip. They also feature their own versions of classic Americana and country songs that have influenced their sound over the years. APR 24

SPRING 2019
The Kennett Symphony’s New Frontiers presents both familiar and unusual music that displays the excitement and power of the symphonic art form. The concert begins with American composer Aaron Copland’s An Outdoor Overture, a sunny piece written specifically to interest and inspire young, emerging musicians of America. Next, the Kennett Symphony is joined by trombonist, Alexis Smith. Ms. Smith is a young, emerging trombone soloist and orchestral musician who recently graduated from The Julliard School and is now the Principal Trombone of the Southwest Florida Symphony. She will perform the rarely heard Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra by Launy Grøndahl. Next, an audience favorite: Dvořák’s 9th Symphony, popularly known as the New World Symphony. It was composed during Dvořák’s stay in America and takes its inspiration from African American spirituals and Native American music, as well as influences from his native Bohemia. It engagingly expresses the optimism, as well as the hustle and bustle of a young America. New Frontiers is a fitting title for this Kennett Symphony performance: It reflects the uniqueness of a trombone concerto, it reflects the zeitgeist of the United States at the time that Dvořák composed his symphony, and most importantly, it reflects that the opportunity to perform at the Cultural Center at Willow Valley Communities is literally a “new frontier” for the Kennett Symphony – one that they hope can be explored for many performances to come. Thanks to a generous donation from a resident, all proceeds from this special performance will help support the memory care center being planned at Willow Valley Communities.

Exhibition On Screen: Goya, Visions of Flesh and Blood
Length: 1 hour 30 minutes Discover Spain’s celebrated artist with this tour de force based on the National Gallery’s exhibition Goya: The Portraits. Francisco Goya is considered the father of modern art. Not only a brilliant observer of everyday life and Spain’s troubled past, he is a gifted portrait painter. Through extensive location footage, Goya’s revealing letters, and a unique exhibition of masterpieces from great collections across the world, this film builds a fascinating portrait of the painter and the colorful world he painted. Goya explored a new realism where he did not flatter and was not afraid to reveal what he saw. FEB 26 Tuesday, 10:00 a.m. 10

Sir Simon Rattle Conducts Ralph Vaughan Williams, Antonín Dvorák and Ludwig van Beethoven
Length: 1 hour 34 minutes The Berliner Philharmoniker and Simon Rattle are joined by mezzo soprano Magdalena Kožená, in the iconic European city, Prague. This gala concert highlights Dvořák’s Biblical Songs, with Kožená singing in her native language. The event takes place in the composer’s motherland: the majestic Spanish Hall of the Prague Castle. The concert opens with an early 20th century work Fantasy on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Then Dvořák’s Biblical Songs, followed by Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, also called Pastoral. A musical ode to the countryside, this masterpiece emphasizes the ambivalence of nature – peaceful in the scene at the brook, destructive and violent when the storm bursts, gradually abating, followed by the shepherd’s thanksgiving.

Life of the Mind “ “Let him who would move the world first move himself.” – Socrates
Socrates Café If you enjoy thinking about and questioning commonly accepted assumptions—even your own—if you are willing to challenge the taken-for-granted authority of any position or representation of fact or truth, join us at Socrates Café. Socrates Café encourages spirited discussion about issues and topics that challenge our beliefs about contemporary society and who we are as human beings. Our quest is not to arrive at answers or a consensus, but rather to develop more and better questions. We seek clarification of our own thinking, and careful and respectful consideration of the views of others as we sift through, sort out, and attempt to arrive at new insights into the topics under discussion.
Socrates Café meets in the Cultural Center Education Room on the second Monday of each month from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
“The difficulty lies not in grasping the new ideas, but rather in escaping from the old ones.” – John Maynard Keynes
Dates and Topics January 14 TRADE AND TARIFFS How should trade and tariffs work to benefit all nations? “A multilateral world trade system is our very best hope for addressing the broad range of issues such as market access, tariff and nontariff barriers to trade, trade in services, and trade facilitation.” – Victor Fung February 11
BIGOTRY AND DISCRIMINATION: OUR FOCUS ON DIFFERENCES Why do humans struggle with differences? “Why do we cling to bigotry? Because bigotry, plainly, is convenient. It is a near-effortless way to both elevate one’s stature and make a pity grab in this culture of victims that we have become.” – John Ridley March 11
MEN VS. WOMEN, SEXUAL RELATIONS IN TODAY’S WORLD What is abuse? Who is responsible? “Be sensitive to those around you, sometimes they could be silent but screaming for help from within.” – Patricia Dsouza, When Roses are Crushed April 8 CREDIBILITY IN MEDIA How do we judge the reliability of information in the media. Can we trust reviews, research? “It seems that in the rush to be the first one to the story, the media overstates things. Not maliciously; I don’t think they’re intentionally misleading. But the credibility gap is already there, and in this rush to get to the story first, a lot of mainstream outlets just erode their credibility further.” – J. D. Vance May 13 UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE How can our government administrate universal healthcare in an equitable way without a heavy tax burden to support a massive, inefficient bureaucracy? “This idea of universal access to basic healthcare has to be figured out as a world. No country has figured it out in part because it is driven by ideology.” – Jacqueline Novogratz
“We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.” – Socrates 26

Education Classes Register using Event Registration. JFK John Fitzgerald Kennedy is one of our most intriguing presidents, with his personal and political life events still discussed today. He was the youngest president ever elected and the only Catholic. He and his wife, Jackie, had 4 children, only 2 of whom lived until adulthood. He was president during the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba and the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought us close to WWIII. JFK started the Alliance for Progress and the Peace Corps. Brother Robert, as Attorney General, made war on organized crime – a possible cause of JFK’s assassination. The Warren Commission Report on the assassination is considered a whitewash. The reason and guilty party are still the cause of much speculation. Ross Kershey will spend time discussing these and other fascinating facts about JFK.

The Star-Spangled Banner long held a disputed place in our national civic life. During its first hundred years, patriots and teetotalers condemned the song for its musical roots in a British drinking tune. Later, it vied with other popular songs for designation as our official anthem – an honor not achieved until 1931. Its high point as a symbol of freedom, unity, and resilience came after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when members of Congress joined in singing it on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Wednesday, February 27 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Cultural Center Education Room Presenter: John Maietta, U.S. Army Retired Cost: $5 Harry Truman When Harry Truman became president upon the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he was faced immediately with many decisions that shaped the post-war era: the use of the atomic bomb, U.S./Soviet relations, postwar polices in Germany and Japan, domestic recovery, and perhaps most importantly, the role that the United States would play in world affairs. The Cold War developed and American politics became fragmented on a wide range of issues. After Truman’s unexpected victory in the 1948 presidential election, he was also challenged by McCarthyism and the outbreak of the Korean War. A progressive president, Truman integrated the armed forces.

A Secret Institution – The U.S. Supreme Court Many believe the U.S. Supreme Court has become one of the most powerful parts of the federal government.

Documentary: The War Symphonies, Shostakovich against Stalin Join Shostakovich as he struggles against Stalin’s tyranny and oppression in this stirring, award-winning documentary by Larry Weinstein. Shot on location in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the film brings together interviews, archival footage, and excerpts from concerts to paint a vivid picture of the composer’s life and career. Shostakovich described his Symphonies No. 4 to 9 as his “tombstones for the victims of Stalin.” He wrote these musical masterpieces during a period when he and his compatriots were sharing in a struggle to survive under a totalitarian regime, a time of mass killings, and incredible suppression. Like many artists in his position, the composer used his music as a weapon, and Larry Weinstein’s film is a testimony to its enduring power. Great performances of the symphonies led by Valery Gergiev are interwoven with interviews of the conductor, rare archival film material, and personal recollections from those close to Shostakovich.

Improve Your Pictures – Clear Away the Clutter The simple technique of cropping can often make a huge difference in your pictures. Cropping will help transform your snapshot into a photograph. In this class you’ll see the transformation that occurs with this simple editing technique. Luckily, cropping can be done after the photo is captured when we have time to apply basic composition rules. Nearly all photo editing programs have easy-to-use cropping methods and with these, we can recompose, zoom in, clear away distracting elements, and make the subject stand out.

Eye-Catching Composition for Your Photos Continuing the learning in previous Renaissance classes to help improve your photography, moving from snapshot to eye-catching photographs, this class goes beyond the basics of picture composition.

Balance, proportion, layers, geometric shapes, diagonals, the “golden ratio,” shapes, curves, symmetry, framing, perspective, patterns, point of view, and rhythm will all be discussed with photographs to illustrate these concepts and more. We’ll see how lines, shadows, contrast, colors, exposures, and textures can be used to make your photos “pop.” Knowing the rules also makes it fun to break them, so we’ll also learn how to be creative in that way, too.

Great Photographers, part 6: The Sidewalks of New York Berenice Abbott (1898-1991), Helen Levitt (1913-2009), and Gary Winogrand (1928-1984) New York, the city that never sleeps, provides a neverending panorama of subjects for any photographer. Revisit the metropolis over 50 years — from 1930 to 1980 — as captured through the camera lenses of three of New York’s finest documentary photographers. Berenice Abbott photographed New York from street level, as well as atop skyscrapers, capturing everything from urban landscapes to the poverty of the Great Depression. Helen Levitt was fascinated by the people of New York, especially children at play throughout the city during the mid-20th century. Gary Winogrand defined modern street photography in the city during the 1960s and 1970s, combining both the exhilaration and anxiety of the era. Together, their work illustrates the evolution of the metropolis from Broadway to the Bowery to the Bronx.
