http://www.thelandmarkcollection.com/detail.aspx?ID=6

This fun event was spearheaded by Cindy & David Boyer, partnering with the Landmark Society staff and dozens of volunteers. Mary and Mike Krickmire round up a select group of talented actors.  And this year, musicians from the Eastman School of Music Organ Society will play live spooky music brilliantly.  It is an amazing way to combine part of the Landmark Society's mission statement to share local history, with fun and fundraising that covers a nine county area of community service.  See you there!!

Speaker Susan Ferrari Rowley Tuesday Oct 26th

Come out and Join us for this special speaker!!


The simplicity of the forms created by Ferrari Rowley, elicit a time/space phenomenology concerning human relationships. Form exists as meaning with lines, planes, and volume integrating via translucency, light and shadow. Paradoxes reside in our perception of interiors and exteriors, and the yielding v. non-yielding materials

 Highway wall - Susan Ferrari Rowley

 

Susan Rowley is a local sculpture and artists with many accomplishments.

Rare Italian Baroque Organ

Renowned Artists Mark 5th Anniversary

This fall, the Eastman School of Music Organ Department commemorates five years since a stunning 18th century Italian baroque organ was installed in the Memorial Art Gallery.

Since its installation, the beautiful authentic sounds of the organ have been heard by thousands of people who have come to the weekly Sunday mini-recitals or the special Organ Showcase Concerts by internationally known guest artists and Eastman musicians. The only full-sized Italian baroque organ in North America, the organ provides a unique opportunity to hear 18th-century organ music as its composers envisioned it.

"The instrument is a living, breathing, singing work of art," said David Higgs, chair of Eastman's organ department. "It is one of the oldest organs now in America, and its sound has a profound effect on the musical sensibilities of those who hear it."

The organ was built around 1770 in central Italy by an anonymous artisan. Its lavishly ornamented, carved, and gilded 22-foot tall case links the instrument to the Italian court culture of the Tuscany or Naples region. Each side of the case features a 10-foot high painting of a vase of flowers. The crown ornament is adorned with an unusual motif depicting St. Andrew. Boasting 600 pipes, the masterpiece is as much a feast for the eyes as for the ears.

Sunday, Oct. 17
