SUMMARY:Ambler Farm Tap-A-Tree Maple Syrup Program
DESCRIPTION:Learn the science and history of maple syruping by being a hands-on part of the process. There will be two training sessions offered; only ONE session is required for training. On that day you will choose a tree and hang your bucket that will collect sap. We will send regular updates on the running of the sap so you can come to the Farm to collect sap from your tree. We will boil down the sap in our sugar shack and send each family home with their very own bottle of Ambler Farm maple syrup. \nThe season runs from early February to mid-March. Maple syrup production is winter farming and\, therefore\, weather dependent. A typical season is five weeks long. If you are traveling during February or March\, we will collect sap for you.\nEnrollment is limited. This program sold out quickly in previous years\, so please do not wait to sign up! \nRegistration is now open to everyone\, space permitting. \nThe cost to participate is $65 per non-member family\, $60 per member family.

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Silversmithing Workshop for Kids:  Making a Necklace
DESCRIPTION:In colonial times\, silversmiths made many essential small items\, such as buttons\, shoe buckles and spoons\, and repaired silver items for wealthy and middle-class citizens. But they also made elegant larger pieces\, such as coffee and tea pots\, candle sticks\, trays and pitchers. According to the historians at Colonial Williamsburg \,“The 18th-century silversmith was thought of as someone akin to a sculptor. Both had to know how to shape their materials with artistic talent\, taste\, and design. A contemporary observed that the silversmith was ’employed in making all manner of utensils . . . either for Ornament or Use. His work is either performed in the Mould\, or beat into Figure by the Hammer.’” \nAt this workshop for kids\, museum educator Laurie Walker will talk about how it was done\, and about a very famous silversmith\, Paul Revere. For a workshop project\, the kids will make a piece of “silver” jewelry (a pendant on a silk cord) of hammered solder\, to keep – or perhaps to give as a Valentine’s surprise. Snack of tea sandwiches. \nSuggested for children aged 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10 per child\, with a maximum of $25 per family; non-member fee is $15 per child\, with a maximum of $35 per family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \n“Paul Revere was a versatile craftsman. He eagerly met the needs of his customers\, not hesitating to create new forms or adopt the latest styles. His shop made a great variety of items\, at least 90 different types. His products included flatware\, mostly spoons; table wares such as cups\, tankards\, porringers\, salts\, casters\, trays\, and bowls; tea and coffee equipment such as coffee and teapots\, creamers\, sugar tongs and sugar urns; personal items such as gold jewelry and buttons\, and silver buckles; and metal harness fittings\, among other things. His most unusual pieces were made before the Revolution\, when he crafted a chain for a pet squirrel\, an ostrich egg snuffbox\, and a child’s whistle. He also made brass gunner’s calipers for two British officers\, silver letters for the back of a chaise\, surgical instruments\, and a sword hilt. Revere did not work in pewter.” – Paul Revere House website

SUMMARY:Wilton Candlelight Concerts presents Les Delices
DESCRIPTION:Les Delices\, an early music ensemble\, will present a program for oboe and string quartet (on period instruments) entitled Mozart in Paris. \nReadings from Mozart’s own letters animate his time in the City of Light. \nMozart had expected to take Paris by storm in the spring of 1778\, but things very much did not go to plan. Despite a successful premiere of his Paris Symphony (K297) at the Concert Spirituel on June 18 and a few other small commissions (concertos for flute\, some ballet music)\, letters flew back and forth between Paris and Salzburg that made it clear that Mozart was flailing. Mozart felt misunderstood and his bad attitude was ultimately his undoing: a patriotic German through and through\, Mozart openly antagonized the French and impugned French taste. He offended patrons left and right and refused to heed social etiquette; he even clung to excuses that Paris was too large\, too filthy\, and too expensive to get around in order to do the networking necessary to get ahead. Moreover\, he took regular opportunities to insult his colleagues\, who could otherwise have been championing Mozart’s music at salons and on concert series that they oversaw. \nIn short\, those six months in Paris represented a critical\, if difficult moment for the brilliant young composer. Les Délices’s program seeks to create a context for Mozart’s time in the City of Light by setting his beloved Quartet for oboe and strings (K.370) alongside composers whose music was all the rage: Quintets by Luigi Boccherini and Christoph Willibald Gluck are featured along with more unusual fare such as a string quartet by Giuseppe Cambini and a solo by the celebrated French cellist Jean-Louis Duport. \nLes Délices (pronounced Lay day-lease) is “an early music ensemble with an avant-garde appetite” (New York Times). The group’s debut CD was named one of the “Top Ten Early Music Discoveries of 2009” (NPR’s Harmonia)\, and their performances have been called “a beguiling experience” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)\, “astonishing” (ClevelandClassical.com)\, and “first class” (Early Music America Magazine). Founded in Cleveland in 2009\, Les Délices’s performances on period instruments allows them to explore a rich tapestry of tone colors. Les Délices has been featured on WCPN\, WCLV and WKSU in Ohio\, WQXR in New York\, NPR’s syndicated Harmonia and Sunday Baroque\, and had their debut CD featured on the Audio-guide for a special exhibit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Watteau\, Music\, and Theater). Les Délices made its New York debut before a sold-out audience at the Frick Collection in May 2010\, and has performed for Music Before 1800 (New York)\, Early Music in Columbus\, and at Miller Theater at Columbia University in recent seasons. \nFor more information\, call 203.762.3401 or 203.417.7203. \nSingle concert tickets (sold at the door)\nAdult $30\nSenior $25 \nStudents free

Directed by Lynne Colatrella with musical direction by Zachary Kampler and choreography by Lauren Nicole Sherwood\, the show will run April 26-May 11\, 2019. \nSet in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City\, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy.

SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING:  Beyond Measure: What Counts Can’t Be Counted
DESCRIPTION:Wilton Public Schools\, Wilton Youth Council and Wilton Youth Services invite Wilton residents to a special three-part series to explore the purpose of education\, the importance of childhood and our community’s opportunity to chart the best course for our children. \nThe series began in November with a screening of Race to Nowhere: The Dark Side of America’s Achievement Culture. It continues on Monday\, Feb. 4 with a screening of the follow-up movie\, Beyond Measure. We conclude with a Community Conversation on Monday\, Feb. 25. \nEvery day we hear stories about America’s troubled education system\, and that in order to fix what’s broken\, we need to narrow curricula\, standardize classrooms\, and find new ways to measure students and teachers. But what if these “fixes” are making our schools worse? Beyond Measure offers a positive picture of what’s possible in American education when communities decide they are ready for change. \nJoin us for 80-minute film followed by a brief panel discussion. This is a free event\, open to adults and students from middle school up. \nThe documentary film Beyond Measure visits public schools across the country that put research and innovative models into practice. These groundbreaking communities are transforming what and how they teach\, and creating more equitable\, empowering and student-centered cultures from the ground up. \nFrom the makers of Race to Nowhere\, Beyond Measure and the companion book of the same name offer a positive picture of what’s possible in American education when communities decide they are ready for change. \nThere are two opportunities to participate–a morning screening and an evening screening! Both screenings will be held at Middlebrook School Auditorium. Register here: \n10 a.m. Screening \n7 p.m. Screening \nSponsored by Wilton Public Schools\, Wilton Youth Council\, and Wilton Youth Services. \n

Chai Vasarhelyi (“MERU”) and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin comes National Geographic Documentary Film’s FREE SOLO\, a stunning\, intimate and unflinching portrait of the free soloist climber Alex Honnold\, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock … the 3\,000ft El Capitan in Yosemite National Park … without a rope. \nCelebrated as one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind\, Honnold’s climb set the ultimate standard: perfection or death. Succeeding in this challenge\, Honnold enters his story in the annals of human achievement. FREE SOLO is both an edge-of-your seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who exceeded our current understanding of human physical and mental potential. The result is a triumph of the human spirit.

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society's  Black History Month Exhibition:  "Tools of a Shameful Trade"
DESCRIPTION:Marking Black History Month\, the Wilton Historical Society presents\, Tools of a Shameful Trade\, a small exhibition of slavery artifacts. Though many of the objects which can be seen are from the south\, slavery in Connecticut dates back as far as the mid-1600s. The objects on display include a neck collar\, shackles\, a plantation whip\, and an 1835 broadside advertising a runaway slave. Also shown is a 1808-1824 ledger kept by Samuel Wakeman of Fairfield\, which includes references to eight individuals with African ancestry – Jeffrey Freeman\, Frederick\, Primus Burr\, Titus Freemen\, John\, Ned Freeman\, Hiram and Primas Jenning. \nThere were a number of families in Wilton who owned slaves\, including the well-known Lambert family\, whose ancestral home can be seen at 150 Danbury Rd. at Lambert Corner. A 1757 letter from the Wilton Historical Society’s permanent collection confirms the sale of a slave named Jack to David Lambert; it is also exhibited. Tools of a Shameful Trade will be on display through the end of February\, 2019. \nResearch has revealed that a black slave named Haggar\, born 1770\, and owned by Wilton’s Samuel Belden II\, was married to a Native American slave named Bill Tonquin. Tonquin was owned by another branch of the Belden family in Wilton. Haggar and Bill Tonquin had three children\, Prince\, Nancy and Black Jack\, and lived in the Belden Store at the corner of Ridgefield Rd. and “Danbury Pike” a crossways that is at the heart of Wilton’s town center. Haggar Tonquin is documented as being the last slave in Wilton. Her children were slaves\, but were born with the promise of freedom\, as they would have been freed at age 21 by the Connecticut law passed in 1783. \nWilton had a stop on the Underground Railroad\, at the home of the abolitionist William Wakeman on Seeley Road. \nThis exhibition would not be possible without generous exhibition loans by John and Samantha Reznikoff. \nThe Wilton Historical Society is open Tuesday-Saturday\, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\, and is located at 224 Danbury Rd.

In fact\, George Washington ordered 20 pounds of chocolate from British merchant Thomas Knox in 1757 . . . . as hot chocolate was a favorite breakfast beverage at Mount Vernon. . . . This was the first of many chocolate orders he placed over the course of his life.” — From George Washington’s Mount Vernon website \n“The tradition of giving chocolates on Valentine’s Day can be traced to Richard Cadbury\, of the English chocolate-making family\, who “invented” the first Valentine’s Day candy box during the Victorian era. The Victorians\, who fancied decorating cards with plump cupids shooting arrows of love\, later transferred the image to the lids of heart-shaped boxes filled with dreamy combinations of silken chocolates.” –“For Lovers\, Chocolate\,” The Buffalo News

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Weaving Workshop for Kids:  Making a Potholder
DESCRIPTION:According to the historians at Colonial Williamsburg\, “Then as now\, Americans required fabrics for clothes\, towels\, sheets\, blankets\, sails\, and dozens of other items made of wool\, cotton\, silk\, linen\, and hemp and bought them from textile manufacturers. Until the Revolution\, British goods poured into the American market\, and most people wore clothes made of English textiles. English or American\, weavers typically learned their trade through apprenticeship\, which focused mostly on operating a loom. Weavers had to know how to prepare the loom and how to run and to maintain it. During the Revolution\, when Americans could not get English goods\, weaving became a necessity and a patriotic duty.” \nWeaving will be explored at this workshop for kids. Museum educator Laurie Walker will show the kids the “loom room” in the 1740 Betts House\, and explain weaving with flax and wool. For a workshop project\, the kids will make a woven pot-holder\, and enjoy a snack of lattice-pattern sugar cookies. \nThe workshop is suggested for ages 6-12. The cost for Wilton Historical Society members is $10/child\, maximum $25/family; cost for non-members is $15/child\, maximum $35/family. Please register via email or call 203.762.7257. \nDid You Know? \nFrom the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:  “A single woman who is old enough to be married but isn’t—and isn’t likely to get married—is sometimes called a spinster. The word has an old-fashioned and dated feel to it\, and because of that it can carry a whiff of impoliteness in certain circumstances. But in previous centuries\, spinster was a valuable word that didn’t carry any such connotation. During the late Middle Ages\, married tradeswomen had an easier time obtaining higher-status\, higher-income work than their unmarried peers. Unmarried women ended up with lower-status\, lower-income jobs like combing\, carding\, and spinning wool—hence ‘spinster.’ \n“When spinster first entered English in the mid-1300s\, it referred to a woman who spun thread and yarn. . . . Two historical facts led to spinster’s evolution: the fact that most spinners in the Middle Ages were women\, and the fact that it was common in legal documents to use one’s occupation as a sort of surname (which is why we have Smiths and Bakers and Tanners and so on). Women who spun yarn or thread were given the title Spinster in legal documents . . . By the 17th century\, spinster was being used in legal documents to refer to unmarried women.”

SUMMARY:Book Talk:   Connecticut 169 Club:  Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut by Marty Podskosh
DESCRIPTION:Come to a Wilton Historical Society presentation and book signing by author and historian Marty Podskoch discussing his new book\, The Connecticut 169 Club: Your Passport and Guide to Exploring Connecticut\, which includes a light lunch. The new travel book encourages travelers to visit all of the towns and villages of our beautiful and unique state. From the quaint splendor of the town of Kent in the northwest hills of Connecticut to the great restaurants that dot the shoreline of Westbrook to New Britain’s industrial roots\, to Wilton’s colonial past\, Podskoch has compiled little known facts and fascinating information about all 169 towns\, cities and villages in the State of Connecticut in the hopes of encouraging people to visit every one of them. \nJoin this informal “club” by getting out and about\, and taking the road less traveled! The book has a space for travelers to journal about their experiences and a place to get the book stamped or signed by a resident or business in each town. The reward for visiting all of Connecticut’s towns\, cities and villages will be a “Leatherman” patch which commemorates this legendary wanderer\, who during the late 1800s wore leather clothes and travelled a 365-mile circuit in approximately 34 days between the Hudson and Connecticut Rivers while camping out in caves. Podskoch will help organize a dinner in the fall of next year to honor those determined souls who have made it to every municipality\, all 169! During that event they will get their Leatherman keepsakes. “Anyone can attend\,” Podskoch says. “Members will share their stories and adventures.” It is worth noting that the Old Leatherman is well documented as visiting Wilton regularly\, and could be spotted at the Rock Lake Reservoir. \nThere is no membership fee\, just a desire to experience all of Connecticut. Adults and children of all ages can be members. What a great adventure for families\, grandparents\, and their grandchildren\, or go by oneself. Most members will travel by car while others might use a bike\, motorcycle\, or maybe a canoe! “It doesn’t matter what age people are or what means of transportation people use to get there\,” the 74-year-old Podskosh said. “The whole idea is to get people to see the many beautiful places in our state.” \nThe Connecticut guide book\, Podskoch’s ninth book\, entailed nearly two years of collaborative effort as he recruited Connecticut writers\, historians and officials. ­Each contributed a passage about their town’s histories\, haunts; favorite food fixes and historic landmarks. The Wilton chapter of the book was provided by Allison Gray Sanders\, co-director of the Wilton Historical Society. \nAfter Podskoch’s talk\, the book will be available for sale and signing. The hard cover 8.5 x 11 book has 376 pages with hundreds of photos & maps and sells for $24.95. \nThere is no charge to attend for Wilton Historical Society members; the non-member fee is $10 a person. Please register for this talk and light luncheon:  call 203.762.7257 or email the Society. \n

SUMMARY:The John Rhodes Jazz Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 43rd year\, the annual John Rhodes Jazz Symposium will be held Friday\, Feb. 22 at Wilton High School in The Little Theater. This event\, an assembly of high school jazz bands from across Fairfield County\, is known and loved for its display of enormous musical talent and rush of crowd-thrilling performances. The symposium is open to the public and free of charge. All are welcome. \nThe first of the two sessions will start at 3:30 p.m. and run until 6 p.m.; the second session will begin at 6:30 p.m. and run until 9 p.m.. Following the student performances\, Fairfield County’s own Berkshire Jazz Orchestra will take the stage for a special guest performance that will include several Stan Kenton numbers. \nWilton High School band director Nick Loafman is looking forward to another year of inspiring jazz performances. “There is always so much talent on display at our annual jazz symposium. It is so fun and rewarding to hear so many students from different schools playing this great music\,” he says. \nParticipating in the symposium this year will be 10 bands from a number of Fairfield County high schools\, including Westhill\, King School\, Bethel\, Norwalk\, McMahon\, Newtown\, and Weston. Wilton High School will feature two of its jazz bands at the event—Jazz I and Jazz II. \nThe annual symposium is a cherished tradition for local jazz students. It offers them the opportunity to perform on stage as well as to receive critical feedback from an academic panel. “It is always excellent to have student musicians perform for each other in an educationally focused\, non-competitive setting\,” Loafman says. “The students always learn a great deal by performing and listening to each other.” \nIn total\, approximately 200 passionate young jazz musicians are expected to assemble for this event to share their talents and bring great entertainment to Wilton. Musical selections will range in style from traditional big band swing to Latin to ballads to contemporary jazz. \nAlso looking forward to this event is Troy Williams\, Wilton High School’s newest band director. This will be his first year at the symposium. “I’ve heard nothing but great things about this event\,” he says. “I’m excited to hear the other jazz bands coming from near and far.” \nLoafman and Williams are especially pleased to welcome back to Wilton the Berkshire Jazz Orchestra. This regional jazz group\, organized in 1987\, comprises active performers and educators from all over Fairfield County. \n“We feel so honored to have these great musicians perform here in Wilton for the students and the community\,” Loafman says. “If you love jazz\, then this will be a real treat.”
