Art Studio Space

Good day friends,

I hope this finds you well.  I have returned from a long sojourn back to Roc, as of Friday. I now find I am searching for an additional room mate at my studio at Anderson Alley. The 3 of us would share 600 sq. ft. (200 per person), the rent would be approximately $185 a month.  Kathleen is a pastel landscape painter and I will do mixed media.  My huge table will be disassembled to offer a new type of creative space.  Please spread the word.  I need to make changes soon in the studio or give it up.

Call me to discuss. 585-473-6988 or email:  susankukle@gmail.com

thanks!
Susan

An English Treasury

  

An English Treasury
Laura Heimes, soprano, 
and Deborah Fox, lutes
October 1 and 3, 2010


















Please join us for the first concert of our 6th season!  Soprano Laura Heimes, a long-time Rochester audience favorite, will team up with Pegasus Early Music Artistic Director and lutenist Deborah Fox for An English Treasury, featuring English lute songs from the 16th and 17th centuries.  From the love songs of John Dowland to the timeless works of Henry Purcell, our program will explore the colorful variety of English lute songs.  Included will be a song attributed to Queen Anne Boleyn, written as she waited for her beheading; a set of songs from Shakespeare plays; and songs by Nicholas Lanier, lutenist and gentleman art dealer.

The concerts take place in two venues, both perfect for the intimate spell of a song recital.  Friday night's concert will be held in the familiar and evocative wood-paneled salon in the Academy of Medicine will be the venue for Friday night.  Sunday's concert will take place in an exciting new venue, at the Colgate Rochester Crozier Divinity School.  You are sure to enjoy the warm, lively acoustics of this beautiful stone and stained-glass chapel.

From Steve Barley

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted that Jeno Horvath asked me to be a guest at your meeting.  Your artistic diversity, your mastery of your disciplines, and your welcoming attitudes amazed me.  Thank you so much for a good time, and for the promise of more good times ahead.  Jeno has been my colleague for years.  My wife, Joyce, and I have many of his works of photographic art in our home, so we are able to enjoy his expressions whenever we please.

My forms of expression in verbal arts have included writing for Eastman Kodak Company, Xerox Corporation, and other companies. If any members of ABG wish to have me cooperate in their ventures, I shall be glad to give it my best.

I look forward to being with you Tuesdays. 

Sincerely,

sd barley
"Steve"
