We have promised another Peace Altar to the Desmond Tutu Peace Centre in Cape Town\, South Africa when fund-raising and building is complete. This special concert is programmed in honor of George and Marion Nakashima who both left this world in June of 1990 and 2004 respectively.

Gen Silent is a new documentary from multi-award winning writer\, director and producer Stu Maddox (Bob and Jack's 52-Year Adventure\, Trip to Hell and Back) that asks six LGBT seniors if they will hide their friends\, their spouses - their entire lives in order to survive in the care system. They put a face on what experts in the film call an epidemic: LGBT seniors so afraid of discrimination\, neglect or abuse in long-term/health care that many go back into the closet\, isolating themselves from their community\, friends and life-long partners. Their surprising decisions are captured through intimate access to their day-to-day lives over the course of a year. As we journey through the challenges that these men and women face\, we also see reasons for hope as each subject crosses paths with a small but growing group of impassioned professionals trying to wake up the long-term and healthcare industries to their plight. William Timpson said\, "The first time I saw this I was in a room full of healthcare and hospice workers - halfway through the tissues started coming out. I thought\, ‘This is powerful. This needs to be seen\, it is a message that needs to be heard.’ And\, from our perspective\, it was additionally distressing because we know that there are good people out there who are willing and able to help\, if only we could get the message out." The screening\, which is exclusive and available only through Mad Stu Productions\, takes place at Prallsville Mills\, 33 Risler Street\, Stockton\, NJ from 3 p.m. – 4 p.m. A panel discussion and Q & A immediately follows the film presentation. Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails will be provided. RSVP preferred – to reserve a seat contact 973.533.0666 or GSfilm@financial-focus.net.

The album will be released as an iTunes digital exclusive on January 10\, 2012 with a wide release to all retailers on Valentine’s Day\, February 14\, 2012. This is Lara St. John’s third foray into Bach on her Ancalagon label.  About her first\, The Concerto Album released in 2002\, Gramophone wrote\, “she makes the most ordinary passages come to life.”  Of her second album\, The Six Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Solo released in 2007\, American Record Guide stated\, “I simply don’t know where else you can go to hear Bach played at this level of artistry.” Lara St. John shares the inspiration behind this new collaboration: “I have had a lifelong relationship with Bach’s solo instrumental works\, from when I was four years old and first performed the double concerto with my brother\, to my first E Major Partita movements a few years later.  As a Canadian I grew up with the omnipresent Glenn Gould. Oddly\, as a pre-teen\, I also developed an obsession with Bach’s organ works.  The Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord eluded me. I never thought they quite clicked. With harpsichord\, I found them rather unsubtle\, and modern piano always seemed so heavy-handed and not quite right.” “A few years ago\, I was in Berlin staying with my old friend Marie-Pierre\, and she wanted to read some Bach.  It was a revelation.  All of a sudden\, this music made sense.  With the harp as a partner\, the degree of nuance made possible for the violin created an entirely new experience.  I thought that evening that I had never heard or been part of anything so beautiful.” “For this recording\, we chose sonatas that could be performed by Marie-Pierre exactly as written.  In her hands\, the harp is a true multi-voice instrument—an equal partner in the faster movements\, yet capable of a luminescence in the quieter movements that no keyboard could ever match.” Marie-Pierre responds\, “Only Lara could have suggested such a crazy thing to do.  I am really glad we did it\, for I feel the result is quite original.  It is fascinating to watch Lara work\, a great mix of professionalism and complete freedom.” Marie-Pierre Langlamet has been principal harpist of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra since 1993. She was born in Grenoble\, France and has been earning international acclaim since she was 15. She was only 17 years old when she was appointed principal harpist of the Nice Opera Orchestra in France\, a position she held until she left to continue her studies at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia.  At 20 she was appointed assistant principal harpist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. She has been called by some “the best harpist in the world today.” Canadian-born violinist Lara St. John has been described as “something of a phenomenon” by the Strad and a “high-powered soloist” by The New York Times. The Los Angeles Times says “Lara St. John happens to be a volcanic violinist with a huge tone that pours out of her like molten lava.  But what makes her unique is the way she puts everything together.  She has utter command of the material and the instrument.” (2011) Lara has performed on several occasions with the Riverside Symphonia over the years and has become a favorite within the local orchestral community. This chamber concert is a special event presented by the Symphonia on Sunday\, February 26 at 4 PM at the Church of St. John the Evangelist in Lambertville\, NJ.  It promises to be an enjoyable opportunity to hear two world-acclaimed musicians combine their musical talents in an intimate setting. Tickets are $55\, $45\, $25\, and $20.  Student tickets are $15.  Tickets and more information are available by visiting www.riversidesymphonia.org or calling the Symphonia at 609-397-7300.

This special exhibition focuses exclusively on Pennsylvania Impressionist artists\, including Walter Baum\, Rae Sloan Bredin\,  William Lathrop\, Harry Leith-Ross\, Antonio Martino\, Edward Redfield\, George  Sotter and others.  Pennsylvania Impressionists & the New Hope Circle strives to pay homage to the creativity and adept skill of this unique  school of painters. The exhibition will feature over 40 paintings by artists who settled and worked in the New Hope area in the first half of the 20th century.  A particularly beautiful painting\, by Rae Sloan Bredin\, features the artist’s young daughter quietly sitting for her father as she clutches a small ragdoll. Also included is a rare and vibrant floral still life by John Folinsbee. Perhaps one of the largest and most important paintings in the exhibition depicts gorgeous clouds rolling above Bucks County farmland\, by George Sotter. There are also snow scenes by Walter Baum\, Fern Coppedge and Harry Leith-Ross\, as well as depictions of the Delaware Valley throughout other seasons. Paul Gratz\, owner and head-conservator of Gratz Gallery\, purchased his first Pennsylvania Impressionist painting nearly 35 years ago\, and from that point on he was dedicated to promoting this exceptional group of painters. Gratz Gallery has been representing the work of the Pennsylvania Impressionists for more than a decade\, having bought and sold some of the most brilliant examples of paintings from the school. In the late 1800s artists began settling in the geographic area of the Delaware Valley surrounding New Hope\, in part because of the beautiful vistas the area offered\, but also because of the accepting\, nurturing atmosphere of the area. The ever expanding group of painters was stylistically distinct\, yet sought each other’s advice and encouragement as artists; New Hope was truly a community of creativity! Today\, the New Hope Circle is recognized nationally\, if not internationally                 LOCATION:1847 Aquetong Rd URL:http://www.visitnewhope.com/event/gratz-gallery-pennsylvania-impressionists-the-new-hope-circle/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120114T150000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120114T180000 DTSTAMP:20120518T064745 CREATED:20111212T181219 LAST-MODIFIED:20111212T181219 UID:1908@http://www.visitnewhope.com SUMMARY:The Quiet Men DESCRIPTION:Warm Up for Winter Festival.  John Danaher and The Quiet Men - with Very Special Guests - will perform at the Logan Inn\, Saturday\, January 14\, 2012 from 3pm - 6 pm.
