SUMMARY:"The Scent of Apples"
DESCRIPTION:“The Scent of Apples” is the world premiere of a solo marimba composition by Bennington College Alumna\, Tina Davidson\, inspired by the poems of Robert Frost. Distinguished percussionist and percussion professor at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign\, Josh Graham will bring this evocative piece to life at Bennington Museum to kick off the 10th season of Music at the Museum. The program is presented in partnership with Bennington College and the Robert Frost Stone House Museum. \nFrost’s poems serve as inspiration for this piece and are part of a long-term project that pairs literary figures and their writing with new works for the marimba. Other works within this project include works for solo marimba by Griffin Candey based on “The Nick Adams Stories” by Ernest Hemingway at Hemingway’s birthplace outside of Chicago\, and a work by Mike Conrad based on the poetry of Iowan James Hearst at Hearst’s home in Cedar Falls\, Iowa. “The Scent of Apples” will be framed by some of these and other additional pieces for solo marimba. A question and answer session with the performer and composer will follow. \nThe premiere of “The Scent of Apples” represents a unique opportunity to celebrate the enduring global legacy of Robert Frost through a contemporary artistic lens. This project not only provides an enriched cultural experience for the audience but also underscores the importance of cross-genre collaboration and innovation to inspire new perspectives. \nThe 10th season of Music at the Museum is dedicated to Shirley Brodsky. \nSpecial thanks to the Robert Frost Society\, the Fund for North Bennington\, Bennington College alumni Sarah Tenney\, the Bennington College Music Department and Woolley Fund\, American Heritage Trees\, and the Robert Frost Stone House Museum for supporting the creation of this composition. \nComposer Tina Davidson \nTina Davidson is a highly regarded American composer known for her distinctive voice and praised by the New York Times for her “vivid ear for harmony and colors.” Davidson earned her BA in piano and composition from Bennington College in 1976\, studying under Henry Brant\, Louis Calabro\, Vivian Fine\, and Lionel Nowak.  \nWith a career spanning over forty-five years\, Davidson has received commissions from renowned ensembles including the National Symphony Orchestra\, OperaDelaware\, Roanoke Symphony\, VocalEssence\, Kronos Quartet\, Cassatt Quartet\, and public television (WHYY-TV). Her compositions have been widely performed by prestigious orchestras and ensembles such as The Philadelphia Orchestra\, American Composers Orchestra\, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra\, Relâche Ensemble\, and Orchestra 2001. Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn commissioned Davidson as part of her 27 Encore project\, resulting in the composition “Blue Curve of the Earth\,” initially released on Deutsche Grammophon in 2013 and later featured on Hahn’s 2018 album\, “Retrospective.” She is the recipient of numerous prestigious grants and fellowships\, notably being the first classical composer to receive a $50\,000 Pew Fellowship. \nPercussionist Josh Graham \nDr. Josh Graham\, a percussionist acclaimed as “beguiling” (Chicago Tribune) and a “superb performer” (Chicago Classical Review)\, has performed extensively throughout the United States and Canada. He currently serves as Professor of Percussion at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign \, Principal Percussionist of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra\, and performs with F-PLUS. Dr. Graham is active in creating new works for percussion\, commissioning and premiering chamber works by a variety of composers\, including George Tsontakis\, Jessie Montgomery\, Marta Ptaszynska\, Charles Peck\, Emma O’Halloran\, Matthew Ricketts\, Matthew Barnson\, Dave Hollinden\, and Liza Sobel Crane\, among many others.

SUMMARY:Vermont Geology with Ken Carlsen
DESCRIPTION:This program is offered at no charge\, but does not include Museum admission. \nAbout 550 million years ago\, a large volcanic island arc began to form. 450 million years ago\, a proto-North American plate collided with that island arc. This collision\, known as the Taconic Orogeny\, formed the Taconic Mountains and was the beginning of what we call Vermont. \nFast forward to around 1824\, when loggers began finding a cotton-like rock on Belvidere Mountain in Lowell and Eden Vermont. This strange rock would develop into one of the more important industrial products of its day. While collecting this ore\, miners found amazing crystals\, some of which have become world famous. \nThis illustrated lecture will explore the development of Vermont geology and share the history of major mining operations in Vermont with special emphasis given to the Belvidere Mountain quarries. \nA reception including light refreshments will follow the talk. \nKen Carlsen\, an Eagle Scout\, graduated from Cushing Academy in Ashburnham\, Massachusetts in 1963 and Otterbein College in Westerville\, Ohio\, in 1967. He taught Earth Science at Mt. Anthony Union High School for 38 years. While doing graduate work at Michigan Tech University\, he realized that if students could travel to the sources of and have first hand experiences with earth science topics\, they would have a better understanding of the material. As a result\, he introduced rock cutting and polishing as part of the earth science curriculum\, started a lapidary club and a lapidary class that is still part of the academic program today. Ken also organized field trips to places like Hawaii and Iceland\, where students could engage directly with geology\, astronomy\, and biology. \nSince his retirement in 2005\, Ken has written or contributed to articles in Rocks and Minerals Magazine\, The Mineralogical Record\, United Kingdom Journal of Mines and Minerals\, and the book American Mineral Treasures. He  has lectured and exhibited his work at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show\, The Rochester Mineralogical Symposium\, The New England Mineral Conference\, and many mineral societies across the country. During the last two years\, Ken has worked closely with Bennington Museum to create the Vermont Rocks! exhibition on view now through November 10\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Magic - The Blathering
DESCRIPTION:Magic Realism Book Club\nA monthly gathering of readers\, focusing on 2 books and 4 short stories in the Magic Realism genre.  \nAt the Prospect Street Writers House \nFour sessions. January 14th\, February 11th\, March 11th\, and April 15th\, 2025\, 6:30 – 8:00pm \nHosted by the John G. McCullough Free Library and Bennington Museum.  \nWe’re sorry. This event is at full capacity.\nMagic: the Blathering\nEver wondered – what if magic were real\, but it was kind of a pain? An inconvenient fact of life – like wild animals leaping from the forest into the road\, right in the dull routine of your commute? Say some unforeseeable\, paranormal circumstance availed itself of your world. And it occurred very locally\, without fanfare\, and – honestly\, it was messing up your whole vibe?  \nGreat news for you! Artists have been hard at work on this question for years. They came up with Magic Realism; a genre of fiction that’s a bit like fantasy\, a bit like science fiction\, but really about how to live when the unexplainable shows up\, and decides to stay.  \nThis winter\, Bennington Museum and the John G. McCullough Free Library are hosting a Magic Realism book club\, and we hope you’ll join us in exploring narratives where chance twists everyday realities\, much like the unpredictable thrills staff encountered while casually browsing top offshore sportsbooks during breaks from curating the reading list. We’ll have speakers from the world of literature and art\, lively discussions\, and we’ll delve into great tales by Shirley Jackson\, Gabriel Garcia Marquez\, John Cheever\, Laura Esquivel\, and Jo Walton\, among others. We will also hold at least one film screening\, and participants will be invited to a guided tour of the upcoming exhibition\, Green Mountain Magic: Uncanny Realism in Vermont\, once it is mounted\, where such elements of fate and serendipity come alive in local art. \nThere’s no fee to participate\, so come join us – you’re sure to come away enlivened\, wiser\, weirder\, and definitely enchanted. \nSpecial Guests\n1st session:\nJanuary 14th (Tuesday) 6:30pm\nProspect Street Writers House\n20 Prospect Street\nNorth Bennington\, VT 05257\nhttps://www.prospectstreet.org/\nSpeaker: Jamie Franklin\, Curator\, Bennington Museum\nReading: Two by Shirley Jackson; one essay and one short story. “The Tooth” and\n“Ghosts of Loiret” \n2nd session:\nFebruary 11th (Tuesday)\, 6:30pm\nProspect Street Writers House\n20 Prospect Street\nNorth Bennington\, VT 05257\nhttps://www.prospectstreet.org/\nSpeaker: Prof. Samantha Landau (University of Tokyo)\nReading: A short novel by Shirley Jackson\, We Have Always Lived in the Castle \n3rd Session:\nMarch 11th (Tuesday)\, 6:30pm\nProspect Street Writers House\n20 Prospect Street\nNorth Bennington\, VT 05257\nhttps://www.prospectstreet.org/\nSpeaker: Prof. Lena Urbano\, Bennington College\nReading: A short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; “A Very Old Man with Enormous\nWings” \n4th Session:\nApril 15th (Tuesday)\, 6:30pm\nProspect Street Writers House\n20 Prospect Street\nNorth Bennington\, VT 05257\nhttps://www.prospectstreet.org/\nSpeaker: TBA\nReading: TBA

SUMMARY:A Monument Society Event: Williamstown Theater Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join Bennington Museum’s executive director on a cultural fieldtrip to the Williamstown Theater Festival to see Tennessee Williams’ acclaimed play Not About Nightingales. \nThe show begins at 2pm and has an estimated running time of 2 hours and 45 minutes. \nThere are only 16 seats available\, so reserve early! \nDinner will follow at Coyote Flaco. \nNot About Nightingales\nBy Tennessee Williams\nDirected by Robert O’Hara \n\nHitler is invading Austria\, Stalin is putting on show trials\, America is lynching Black people\, thousands are rotting in state prisons\, the world is slowly climbing out of the Great Depression\, Hollywood is filming The Wizard of Oz and auditioning for Gone with the Wind\, all while a 27 year old Tennessee Williams is pulling all-nighters to finish a blistering homoerotic Prison Drama. He would never live to see a production of this early masterpiece. Not About Nightingales is a front row seat to America’s prison industrial complex whose atrocities are too often avoided and denied. Director Robert O’Hara (A Raisin in the Sun and Slave Play) will immerse us in this searing testament to what happens when we cage men\, remove their humanity\, and let them rot while the ‘outside world’ is run by rich\, entitled gangsters.\n\nTHIS TRIP IS FULL!\nJoin the Monument Society
