Classically trained soloists Michael Bridge (accordion and piano) and Kornel Wolak (clarinet and piano) use virtuosity, comedy, and musical sensitivity to bring their custom repertoire to life.

The Black Market Trust The Black Market Trust is an American traditional pop/vocal jazz group from Los Angeles that combines the sounds of legendary American crooners and vocal groups with the fire and energy of “gypsy jazz” guitarist Django Reinhardt. Consisting of five world-class musicians who have traveled the globe recording and performing on the world’s biggest stages and with music’s most renowned artists, The Black Market Trust capitalize on their experience and pedigree to deliver high-energy, crowd-pleasing performances filled with some of the best songs ever written. Their show features material from the Great American Songbook infused with Django’s romantic and virtuosic flavor. Add intricate vocal harmonies and a dash of Rat Pack–style comedy, and it’s clear why The Black Market Trust has quickly earned a reputation as one of the premier live acts performing in music today. Be transported as they meld two distinctly different vibes — one of a gypsy campfire, the other a slick metropolitan nightclub — into a cohesive, stylish sound.

Martha Argerich & Daniel Barenboim Play Piano Duets: Mozart, Schubert & Stravinsky Both child prodigies from Buenos Aires, humanitarians, and avid chamber musicians, Argerich and Barenboim share a captivating musical rapport. They begin with Mozart’s Sonata in D Major for Two Pianos, a work composed for a performance with fellow Austrian pianist and composer Josepha Auernhammer. Among Schubert’s finest works, and a classic of the duet literature, his Variations on an Original Theme in A-Flat Major follows. The exciting finish comes with a two-piano version of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Thursday, September 9 at 1:30 p.m. Length: 1 hour, 22 minutes

Exhibition On Screen: The Curious World of Hieronymus Bosch After 500 years, Bosch’s paintings still shock and fascinate. Why do his strange and fantastical paintings resonate with people now more than ever? Delve into the vivid imagination of this true visionary. This Het Noordbrabants Museum exhibition brought the majority of Bosch’s paintings and drawings to his hometown of Den Bosch and revealed fascinating details about his life and works. Tuesday, September 21 at 1:30 p.m. Length: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Exhibition On Screen: Van Gogh & Japan Though Van Gogh never visited Japan, it is the country that influenced his art most. Visiting the galleries of Japanese art in Paris and creating his own image of Japan gave him a new direction. After leaving Paris for the South of France — as near to a kind of Japan as he could find — the productive yet troubled years that followed must be seen in the context of Van Gogh bending Japanese influences to his will and defining himself as a modern artist with clear Asian precursors. Thursday, November 18 at 1:30 p.m. Length: 1 hour, 25 minutes

Sol Gabetta Plays Elgar's Cello Concerto Edward Elgar composed his last great work, the Cello Concerto in E Minor, in 1919. Initially unpopular with audiences, it ultimately became one of his greatest hits — and a pinnacle of the cello repertoire. In this performance, the acclaimed Sol Gabetta makes her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle. The program is rounded off with Ligeti’s Atmosphères, the Act I Prelude to Wagner’s Lohengrin, and ends with Stravinsky. Tuesday, November 30 at 1:30 p.m. Length: 1 hour, 28 minutes

Claudio Abbado Conducts Italian Opera Arias, with Bryn Terfel, Sergei Larin & Angela Gheorghiu Experience a captivating performance by the Berliner Philharmoniker at the verdant Waldbühne, led by the late Italian maestro Claudio Abbado. Baritone Bryn Terfel, tenor Sergei Larin, and soprano Angela Gheorghiu perform selections from operas by Bellini, Rossini, and Verdi, including five effervescent overtures by Verdi (Nabucco, La Forza del Destino, and Les Vêpres Siciliennes) and Rossini (William Tell and Barber of Seville). Soloist highlights include E Lui… from Don Carlos, Fire Chorus from Otello, Triumphal March from Aida, and Eccomi… from Bellini’s I Capuleti e I Montecchi.

Veterans Day Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. The day started as a way to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country’s service. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. However, in 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor all veterans of all wars. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to American veterans living or dead, but especially gives thanks to the living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime. The military men and women who serve and protect the United States come from all walks of life. They are parents, children, grandparents, friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and are an important part of their communities. Join us on November 11 as we honor our veterans at Willow Valley as well as throughout the world. Please check the Weekly Insider for further information. Thursday, November 11 at 1:30 p.m. Cultural Center Theater Cost: No charge Tickets will not be issued for this event, but you must register using Event Registration.

ART GALLERY

Art Gallery Malinda Negrón Saunders, Acrylic A visual artist who lives and works in Lancaster County, Malinda uses loose brushwork and expressive color palettes to portray different emotions uniquely captured during the creative process. “I always loved taking photos, but it wasn’t until I started painting that I experienced the satisfaction of capturing a moment the way I truly felt it.” A festive night filled with great music, a relaxing day on the river, an open field, an unplanned still-life — they all give off their own beauty enhanced by her unique vision and perspective. Malinda’s bicultural background also allows her to explore personal themes informed by her hybrid cultural identity. “As a Hispanic artist, I feel it is my responsibility to create art that showcases what many people overlook,” says Malinda, who moved to Lancaster County from Puerto Rico as a child. “My goal is for fellow Puerto Ricans to see themselves reflected in a meaningful way, and for non-Hispanic people to see the beauty and better understand the positive contributions of our Hispanic culture.” Malinda is an art teacher who holds a bachelor’s degree in art and a master’s degree in art education from Millersville University. Her work can be found in many collections across the United States and Latin America.

Jane Wolf, Mixed Media Jane Wolf is a mixed-media artist from Lancaster. She completed her undergraduate art education degree in New York City and a master’s in art education at the University of Maryland. She taught middle school and high school art in Maryland and Pennsylvania for a total of 25 years. Upon retiring, Jane put her energy into creating art of her own. She was introduced to mixed media at the York Art Association in 2017. Using inks, high-flow acrylics, other mediums, and Yupo paper was new and exciting to her. Jane’s paintings range from semi-abstract to completely abstract, often involving subjects such as flowers, trees, or water. She uses collage materials and mediums for textural effects and loves pure, vibrant colors. Her paintings are built in layers, and often she relies on intuition to decide what the next step will be: “My paintings are a journey. Sometimes, without anything in mind, a painting is started, and then it tells me what to do next.” Jane had her first show at AK Interiors in Lancaster in 2018. She was represented by the Artisans Gallery in Lancaster, the Lititz Art Association, and won second place in mixed media at the Lititz Art Show. She has shown her work in both the York Art Association and the Lancaster County Art Association shows.

ART GALLERY

Catherine Herbert, Acrylic Having always felt close to nature and animals, Catherine was inspired to incorporate them into her artwork. Looking at the beauty of a landscape or into the eyes of an animal, she finds inspiration, and how everything and everyone intertwines is an endless source of wonder and material for her. Viewers identifying with a place, a memory, or a portrait of their beloved pet is what moves her to paint. Growing up near the Hudson River, the St. Lawrence River, and now living near the Susquehanna River, Catherine has been able to witness wonderful sights to express later in her artwork. This explains why she has always been drawn to the Hudson River School style of painting. Artists like Jenness Cortez and Sam Savitt inspired her to draw at a young age. Catherine enjoys a rural life. Growing up on and around farms, she appreciates the antics of farm animals and pets, as well as the smell of new-cut hay or rain. She sketches, draws, studies, and then paints with acrylics, which she strives to master.

The Inca, Master Builders of Machu Picchu In 1911, while a professor at Yale, Hiram Bingham III organized a Yale Peruvian Expedition to find the capital of the Inca in Peru. The team arrived and prepared to ascend the Andes, a challenging climb through cold and rain, but most rewarding when Bingham took his first glimpse of the “summer retreat” for the Inca leaders. Today, that historic site stretches five miles with more than 3,000 steps reaching different levels, making Machu Picchu one of the world’s top tourist attractions. This lecture will focus on the Inca, Hiram Bingham, Machu Picchu, and finally, the Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizarro, who forever changed the incredible Inca Empire.

American Paradise: A Short History of Hawaii Tourists are flocking again to Hawaii, drawn as always to its warm waters, gentle breezes, and air of innocent sensuality. But popular enjoyment of the islands masks a more complicated story. Hawaii’s past has seen violence, political chicanery, and economic exploitation. This program presents the full complexity of Hawaiian history — from its volcanic birth, through the rise and fall of native kings, to the shock of Pearl Harbor and the present-day challenge of preserving the natural beauty and cherished cultural traditions of this “American paradise.” Wednesday, November 10 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Cultural Center Theater Presenter: John Maietta, US Army Retired

In this film presentation, witness the unbelievable scene of the slaughter of the American bison in the process of moving into the great American West. The American bison once roamed North America in vast herds as far back as 9,000 BC, their area of grazing running from modern-day Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico and as far as New York down to Georgia on the East Coast. By the late 18th century, a population above 60 million had been reduced to just 541 due to disease and commercial hunting and slaughter. In the mid-20th century, recovery efforts successfully protected the American bison, resulting in approximately 31,000 wild bison today, largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves. Dances with Wolves, which won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, gives an in-depth perspective into the American West.

Tora! Tora! Tora! Early on the morning of December 7, 1941, two servicemen, George Elliott and Joseph Lockard, were manning a radar unit at Kahuku Point, on the north coast of Oahu in Hawaii. At 7:02 a.m., the radar picked up an enormous blip coming in 137 miles to the north. A telephone call was put through to the Information Center at Fort Shafter, located 50 miles away. A lieutenant on duty called back to say that it was a dozen B-17 bombers flying in from San Francisco, when in fact it was 183 Japanese planes.

The Alamo Today, San Antonio, Texas, offers a great deal to tourists, including the River Walk, San Antonio Botanical Gardens, the Witte Museum, San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral, and much more. For many, a visit to 300 Alamo Plaza, the famous Alamo, is at the top of their list. The Alamo was originally a Spanish mission created to convert Native Americans to the Christian faith. The total area of the church and attached property included nearly three acres. As time moved on, the church and surrounding area were converted to a fort used by settlers fighting against the Mexican government for independence and statehood. This resulted in the famous battle at the Alamo on March 6, 1836. Two hundred men, under the command of William B. Travis, fought a Mexican army of four thousand troops under the command of General Santa Anna. Other notables in the battle included David Crockett and James Bowie, who fought alongside the Texans. The battle lasted less than two hours, with the defenders of the Alamo being annihilated, while the Mexican Army lost six hundred soldiers. Among the few survivors were a woman named Susanna Dickinson and her daughter, Angelina.

The surprise attack resulted in the loss of 2,403 sailors, soldiers, and civilians, as well as the wounding of 1,000. Nearly 20 American ships were destroyed or severely impaired, while more than 300 airplanes were lost. The Japanese lost 29 aircraft and the lives of 129 men. The American forces at Pearl Harbor were caught completely by surprise, and the early detection by radar is now just a tragic part of history. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. A number of movies have depicted this tragic event; however, the Oscar-winning Tora! Tora! Tora! is special in that it shows both sides during the attack and makes the entire event more understandable. Come and witness the re-creation of a pivotal point in American history.

Over the years, the Alamo has become a symbol of Texas as a tribute to the men who fought against unbeatable odds for the purpose of freedom and independence. Wednesday, November 17 at 9:30 a.m. Cultural Center Theater Presenter: Dr. Don Koones, PhD

Lewis & Clark’s Brilliant Failure: An Exploration of the Famous Expedition In 1803, President Jefferson asked Lewis and Clark to find a straightforward water route to the Pacific Ocean. No white Americans had yet visited the Rocky Mountains, so the two leaders of the Corps of Discovery had no idea how high and wild its ranges were. They envisioned paddling up the Missouri River to its headwaters, carrying their canoes over a gentle ridge, and putting them into the headwaters of the Columbia River before floating down to the Pacific shore. Instead, their three-year journey exploded that fantasy, subjecting them to grueling hardships. Neither were they able to fulfill Jefferson’s hope that they could pacify the Native Americans they met, converting them into allies. Despite this, Lewis and Clark did a brilliant job as mapmakers, explorers, anthropologists, botanists, and diplomats — achievements we still honor them for today. By the end of this lecture, you will better understand who these brave explorers were, how they set about their venture, the most important decisions they made, and the crises they faced together.

A Sinatra Centennial: What Made Ol’ Blue Eyes Great, and Why Is He Famous? Through his music, stage shows, films, and abashedly public private life, Frank Sinatra offered a vision of the 20th-century American Dream that contrasted greatly with the suburban ideal of the hardworking man. He was entirely in tune with his audiences’ needs and desires, but this isn’t what made him great. Sinatra’s name lives on because of his distinctive musical style — his phrasing and tone, the timbre of his voice. Using numerous musical examples, Anna Celenza traces the origins of the famous “Sinatra Sound” and reveals how it has influenced a disparate array of musical styles and genres that make up today’s American soundtrack.

What This Drummer Does Besides “Drum”

Incredible India

North Resident Joan Stemen began playing drums in fourth grade, in the 1940s, at a time when it was strictly a male pursuit. She continued playing through college and then spent a long career as an educator. Joan became a speech and language pathologist in the public school system and worked with a variety of children and adults in need of help. Find out how retirement brought back Joan’s love of the drums and a chance to play in a Resident band.

Up to Heaven and Down to Hell: Fracking, Freedom, and Community in an American Town Colin Jerolmack’s latest book is an intimate, firsthand account of what happens when one of the most momentous decisions about the well-being of our communities and planet — whether to extract fossil fuel from the land or leave it in the ground — is largely a private choice that millions of ordinary people make without the public’s consent. Based on Jerolmack’s time living in a rural Pennsylvania community, this book documents the dramatic confrontation between personal sovereignty and the public good that unfolds when landowners have the right to lease the subsurface of their property for oil and gas development. It also serves as a lens through which to understand the cultural polarization that drives contemporary American politics and stymies efforts to combat climate change.

How do you describe a hand with only a few points and a long suit? What do you do with a hand that has lots of points? How do you respond to your partner’s weak or strong opening bid? This course will cover the answers to these and other bidding questions.

As the ancient Greeks built their civilization, they tried to understand nature and explain the order of the world. How did the world come into being? How did Zeus become the head of the Olympian gods? How did the gods relate to humans?

Poetry Workshop Poetry is all around us — let’s go find it! Where do you see poetry in your world? Where do you find inspiration? How do you move that seeing and inspiration onto the page? In this workshop, we’ll talk about the role of place in poetry. We’ll define and discuss ekphrastic and found poetry, which will lead us into reading examples inspired by a work of art (ekphrastic poetry), that take us deep into a particular place, and that have been “found” (found poetry) in other texts. Then, we’ll pull out pens and dig into texts to search for words and phrases to build our own found poems. We’ll write the stories we see in a piece of art. We’ll fill the blank page about place. Lively conversation, playful creativity, and supportive encouragement are the themes for this daylong exploration of finding poetry all around us.

Painting the Delightful Dutch: Frans Hals (1582 – 1666) Tuesday, October 5 Along with Rembrandt, Frans Hals was the most famous artist during the Dutch Golden Age. He revolutionized portraiture with his radically free approach, using loose painterly brushwork and capturing light like never before. After his death, his popularity waned, but interest in his artwork was revived in the 19th century. Many Impressionist artists, including Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh, studied the works of Hals and built on his unique techniques. Pictured is The Gypsy Girl.

Opening Windows into Times Past: Jan/Johannes Vermeer (1632 – 1675) Tuesday, October 12 Today, Jan/Johannes Vermeer ranks among the most admired of all Dutch artists, but he was relatively obscure during his lifetime. He produced only a small number of artworks, of which only 36 survive. However, their qualities place them among the most revered images in the history of art. Vermeer is most famous for his paintings of Dutch daily life in interior settings, renowned for his masterful use of light and for creating realistically bright images that captivate the viewer. Pictured is the controversial Girl with the Pearl Earring.

The Magical Blending of Math & Science: MC Escher (1898 – 1972) Tuesday, October 19 MC Escher is one of the world’s most celebrated graphic artists, representing the perfect coming together of mathematics and art. He is most famous for his “impossible constructions” — images that look convincing but defy logic, such as the graphic shown, Drawing Hands. Notice how he easily destroys reality and yet presents reality at the same time. Escher’s illusory art is fun, and you will come to agree that he was way ahead of his time. Some of his masterpieces anticipated mysterious features of modern cosmology.

Inside the Mind of Lizzie Borden August 4, 1892, a typical summer morning in Fall River, Massachusetts.

One seat at the table was empty, as a second daughter, Emma, was 15 miles away visiting friends in Fairhaven. After breakfast, Mr. Morse left to purchase a team of oxen and visit a niece. Mr. Borden took his morning walk. The only individuals left in the home were the maid, Mrs. Borden (Abby), and her daughter Lizzie.

Two Native American Women of Distinction: Sacagawea & Pocahontas In preparation for the holiday, one sometimes questions the textbook images of the first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts. Usually they illustrate a multitude of Pilgrims in contrast to several Native Americans, when in truth, 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims were present at the harvest celebration. The festivities lasted several days with additional Native American tribes in the final count. Native Americans seem to occupy roles of defeat and insignificance in American history. This lecture takes a change of course. Instead of the usual concentration on European settlers coming to the New World and establishing colonies, we’ll turn our attention to the Native Americans, honoring two women in particular. Fact rather than fiction will govern our understanding of these two separate lives.

We’ll begin on the East Coast with Pocahontas, a life now mixed with fact and fantasy. Was she really in love with Captain John Smith, and did she really save his life? Who did she actually marry, and where are her remains today? Next, we’ll go on the trail with Lewis and Clark, the Corps of Discovery, and examine the tremendous contributions of Sacagawea in the success of their expedition to the great American West.

Lancaster Architects: 19th & 20th Century

C. Emlen Urban (1863 – 1939) Lancaster’s first native son architect circumvented a formal education and began his career at the age of 21. Proficient in 23 architectural styles and 45 building types, Urban went on to design virtually every major building and mansion in Lancaster County between 1884 and 1939.

James H. Warner (1865 – 1913) This London-born architect immigrated to the United States at 19 and designed Central Market at the age of 24. Warner became C. Emlen Urban’s fierce rival for the 12 years he practiced in the city, his commissions including the courthouse annex, F&M College, Millersville Normal School, St. John’s Church, and the Hamilton Club to name a few. He vanished in 1901!

Henry Y. Shaub (1888 – 1970) Shaub followed on the heels of C. Emlen Urban and crossed professional paths with him for nearly 20 years with residential, commercial, and public work. Although quiet and reserved, he attracted national attention for his innovative work in education. His reputation and acclaim earned him the highest award any architect can achieve: the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows. 43

The Curie Women: Marie, Irène, Ève

The Music of Winter

In terms of the United States’ public awareness of them: Marie Curie, certainly; Irène Joliot-Curie, perhaps; Ève Curie, who? The first two were awarded three Nobel Prizes between them, two for Marie (physics and chemistry) and one for Irène (chemistry). Ève Curie chose a different, nonscientific career path, journalism. All three received international acclaim. This presentation will consider the life and career of each woman. Although Marie is conventionally the best known of the trio, more time will be spent on Irène and Ève, lesser known but no less important.

Blustery wind, slushy snow, and frigid temperatures come to mind when you think of winter, but music can be an oasis that warms and soothes you. Come hear about songs inspired by the season and the snow.

Huts No Gayer than Dungeons: The First Days of the Valley Forge Encampment

The Birth of Jesus Christ through Fine Art Throughout the centuries, depictions of the birth of Christ have been recorded through various mediums, including the written word, music, drama, motion pictures, and most assuredly, fine art. In this lecture, we’ll concentrate on the artistic approach to the Annunciation, the birth of Jesus Christ, the adoration of the shepherds, the visitation of the Magi, and finally, the flight into Egypt by exploring paintings by the great masters and beautiful drawings used to create illuminated manuscripts during the Middle Ages. What a wonderful way to approach and better appreciate the Christmas season. Friday, December 10 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Cultural Center Theater Presenter: Dr. Don Koones, PhD Cost: $5

Although the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign had not gone well for the Continental Army, Washington’s troops were surprisingly upbeat when they marched into their winter encampment at Valley Forge. Their attitude was both good and necessary, for the camp was chaotic at first. This presentation offers a bird’s-eye view of the Philadelphia Campaign and the “exceedingly busy,” and diverse, activities of the opening two weeks of the famous Valley Forge encampment. Nancy K. Loane, EdD, a former seasonal ranger at Valley Forge National Historical Park, is the author of Following the Drum: The Women at the Valley Forge Encampment. She has written several articles about Valley Forge and presented more than 200 talks throughout the country about the encampment, the women there, Martha Washington, and Baron Steuben.

Basics of Making a Slideshow

Light Matters

Want to make a slideshow from your digital pictures? It’s easy. This overview will get you started. We’ll discuss the objectives (vacation pictures, special events, and telling a story), the components (pictures, videos, transitions, effects, and music), and the programs you can use (Windows 10, Photoshop Elements, PowerPoint, and Photopica Creator).

We’ll consider how great light helps make terrific photos. By looking at art by great painters and learning how they applied light, we’ll use the same techniques to add eye appeal to our photos. Direct light, light from various angles, focused or diffused light, sources of light, and the awesome light of the “golden hour” will all be explored.

Great Photographers, Part 9: Weegee / Arthur Fellig, Diane Arbus & Cindy Sherman In this program, we will look at the lives and work of three photographers, each of whom brought a unique personal slant to the world of photography. Weegee (1899 – 1957) was a famous police and emergency services photographer of the 1930s and 1940s, who managed to make photos of crime and street scenes into art. Diane Arbus (1923 – 1971) looked for the strange and unusual in the world around us and worked to normalize groups on the fringes of society. Cindy Sherman (b. 1954) might be called the queen of the selfie. She transforms herself as the central subject of her work, reinventing herself in every role from clown to society matron — and, in so doing, making her incredibly different from photographers who photographed but did not intrude on their subjects. All three are recognized as among the most important and influential artists of the 20th century.

The Sport of Fencing: Learn by Doing

AARP Safe Driving Refresher

Interested in learning the Olympic sport of fencing? This four-session class is for you. We’ll begin with a discussion of the different target areas, rules, and characteristics of the foil, épée, and saber. Then you’ll learn and practice some of the basics that every fencer uses: the on-guard stance and how to advance, retreat, and lunge; how to hold the foil and make touches using the basic attacks — thrusts, disengages, ripostes, and beats; and basic foil parries used to defend the four areas of the target. You’ll also see how fencing differs from theatrical sword fighting and experience why it’s often called physical chess. There will be individual drills, exercises with the other students, and special one-on-one practice with the instructor.

This refresher course is for people who have completed the eight-hour AARP Safe Driving class or have taken a Refresher course within the past three years.
