SUMMARY:Music on the Hill:  Sounds of the Season
DESCRIPTION:Join Music on the Hill for their gorgeous holiday concert\, “Sounds of the Season.” Featured this year will be the Jubilate Ringers\, the Festival Chorus\, and our new Community Children’s Chorus. David H. Connell and Ellen Dickinson conduct. Our program of festive music includes choral works by contemporary Scandinavian composers Kim André Arnesen and Morten Lauridsen\, as well as “The Heavens Delight” by New Canaan composer Gwyneth Walker. Other selections include gorgeous seasonal pieces such as “Cantate Domino” (Hassler)\, “Jesus Christ the Apple Tree” (Poston)\, “What Sweeter Music Can We Bring?” (Berger) and the French traditional carol “Masters in This Hall.” \nThe bell ringers will perform a hauntingly beautiful arrangement of the plainchant melody Divinium mysterium (“Of the Father’s Love Begotten”)\, and will accompany both children’s and adult choruses for more familiar carols\, including a medley arranged by Dickinson. \nWe will all sing favorite carols with the majestic St. Matthew’s organ as accompaniment. Let’s all get into the season! $20 donations are accepted but not required. For more on Music on the Hill\, see the Music on the Hill website.

SUMMARY:Art of Tin Punching Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:According to Old Sturbridge Village\, “The tin business in New England began in the mid-1700s but grew most rapidly after 1820. Tinware competed successfully with the more traditional products of redware potters. Tin shop owners purchased tinplated sheet iron imported from England\, shaped it into a variety of forms\, and distributed finished goods wholesale through peddlers and country stores\, and at retail from their shops. Pails\, colanders\, dippers\, dish kettles\, funnels\, measures\, and pans of all kinds were in greatest demand. Lanterns\, footstoves\, teapots\, coffeepots\, tin kitchens\, skimmers\, and sconces were other common utensils produced for house\, farm\, and shop.” \nAt this Wilton Historical Society Art of Tin Punching Workshop for Kids on Saturday\, Jan. 11\, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.\, museum educator Katherine Karlik will talk about tin punching\, and about William and Edward Pattinson\, brothers who settled in Connecticut around 1740 and established the first tin shop in America. The workshop project is making a rectangular placard which can be used as a wall hanging\, featuring a simple dot and dash design. Children will help make their own snack. \nSuggested for ages 6-12. Cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child; non-member cost is $15 per child. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“The tin lanterns that illuminated front porches and parlors throughout Europe can be traced to at least the early 16th century. By the Colonial era\, tin punching added a bit of variety to the traditional choices of tin lanterns fitted with panes of glass or cow horn. Lanterns with those original types of panes could still be punched\, but tinsmiths might bypass panes altogether if they made enough holes to let sufficient light shine through.” – Colonial Williamsburg website.

SUMMARY:Remembering Dave:  A Brubeck Family Album
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of jazz legend – and Wilton’s own — Dave Brubeck\, the Wilton Historical Society will present a special exhibit\, Remembering Dave: A Brubeck Family Album. Opening Friday\, Feb. 21\, the exhibition will run through April 18\, 2020. \nWhen he bestowed upon the jazz great the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor at the White House in 2009\, President Barack Obama stated\, “In order to understand America\, you have to understand jazz\, and in order to understand jazz\, you have to understand Dave Brubeck.”  As a pianist\, bandleader and composer\, Dave Brubeck (1920-2012) is widely acknowledged as one of America’s most significant post-swing era jazz musicians\, creating a body of music that was bold and accessible. \nAll are invited to the opening reception on Friday\, Feb. 21\, from 4-6 p.m. (no charge). The exhibition incorporates material from the Dave Brubeck:  Jazz Ambassador show\, which detailed his illustrious 70-year career and was presented at Jazz at Lincoln Center soon after Brubeck’s death\, and highlights other facets of his life such as his impact as a composer\, a performer\, a civil rights activist and as family man. \nThe Remembering Dave: A Brubeck Family Album exhibition presents additional material that speaks to Dave’s life in Wilton with his wife Iola\, and six kids\, including musicians Darius\, Chris and Dan. Growing up on a vast ranch in California\, he learned to ride\, how to be a cowboy; visitors will be able to see a Western-style saddle that belonged to his father\, as well as Dave’s cowboy hat. A highlight of the exhibition is the opportunity to see a new short film produced by the Brubeck family which contains rare footage of “Cowboy Dave.” Another section of the film shows Wilton composer\, lyricist\, pianist\, and educator Eugenie Rocherolle interviewing fellow musician Dave Brubeck. \nEntrance is free for Wilton Historical Society members; entry is $10 for non-member adults\, and free for children under 18. \nDave Brubeck 100 is the world-wide celebration of the 100th birthday of Dave Brubeck\, the jazz composer\, pianist\, cultural ambassador\, and visionary musician\, which will take place on Dec. 6\, 2020.

SUMMARY:Transforming Tradition:  Japanese and Korean Contemporary Craft  (Online Exclusive)
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Asia Art Week 2020 this March\, browngrotta arts has collated contemporary works by 12 artists born in Japan and Korea for an online exhibition\, “Transforming Tradition:  Japanese and Korean Contemporary Craft.” The works include ceramics\, weavings\, baskets and sculptures made of paper and silk. \nNotable in the exhibition are paper sculptures by Naomi Kobayashi and an elegant silk thread assemblage by her late husband\, Masakazu Kobayashi. The couple often collaborated\, working on installations that combined elements created by each of them. \n“These works express a shared vision and such common themes as the tranquility of nature\, the infinity of the universe and the Japanese spirit\,” Masakuzu once explained. “Naomi and I work in fiber because natural materials have integrity\, are gentle and flexible. In my own work\, I search for an equilibrium between my capacity as a creator and the energy of the world around me.” \nKeiji Nio’s interlaced wall work is inspired by a haiku\, “Rough Sea of Sado\,” from Japanese haiku master Matsuo Basho’s haiku series. In it\, Basho describes the deep blue waves of the Sea of Japan as they are reflected in the night sky and the light blue waves hitting the beach. The work incorporates ribbons on which Nio has screened images from the sea and tiny pebbles from the shore. Nio is a faculty member at the Kyoto University of Art & Design\, who combines industrial and natural materials in his works to make statements about nature and man’s relationship to the world. \nSeveral ceramics by Yasuhisa Kohyama\, are included in Transforming Tradition. Kohyama is a renowned Shigaraki potter who uses ancient techniques to explore new forms. He gained widespread attention in Japan in the 60s when he built one of the first anagama kilns since medieval times. Collectors and museums have been quick to acquire his works\, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Cleveland Museum of Art\, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam\, the Gardiner Museum of Art in Toronto\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Museum of Art and Craft in Hamburg and the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Shiga\, Japan. Kohyama’s work graces the cover of Contemporary Clay:  Japanese Ceramics for the New Century by collectors Alice and Halsey North and curator Joe Earle. \nBamboo sculptures by Jiro Yonzawa are also part of browngrotta arts’ exhibition. Yonezawa has been recognized with the Cotsen Prize\, a commission from Loewe to work in leather and inclusion in the prestigious Japan Nitten National Fine Arts Exhibit. Yonezawa has explained his work:  “Bamboo basketry for me is an expression of detailed precision. These baskets represent a search for the beauty and precision in nature and a way to balance the chaos evident in these times.” \nKorean artist Chang Yeonsoon\, who creates ethereal works of starched indigo\, was Artist of the Year at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul in 2008. For 35 years\, Jin-Sook So\, also of Korea\, has been creating dimensional works—sculptural vessels and wall pieces—from stainless steel mesh to international acclaim. \nYou can view “Transforming Tradition: Japanese and Korean Contemporary Contemporary Craft” online by visiting browngrotta arts’ YouTube channel. \nYou can see each individual work in the exhibition on Artsy and learn more about the artists included by visiting arttextstyle and browngrotta arts’ website. \nArtists included:\nChiyoko Tanaka (Japan)\, Jiro Yonezawa (Japan)\, Masakazu Kobayashi (Japan)\, Naomi Kobayashi (Japan)\, Kyoko Kumai (Japan)\, Kiyomi Iwata (Japan/US)\, Yasuhisa Kohyama (Japan)\, Keiji Nio (Japan)\, Hisako Sekijima (Japan)\, Toshio Sekiji (Japan)\, Jin-Sook So (Korea)\, Chang Yeonsoon (Korea) \nAll photos by Tom Grotta\, courtesy of browngrotta arts.
