October 2015

All events are free, unless otherwise noted.

Schofield: Impressionist Landscapes

The Trout Gallery
Gallery hours: Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

This exhibition surveys the career of Walter Elmer Schofield (1867–1944), a leading member of the Pennsylvania impressionists. Schofield combined the attention to light and color found in paintings by French impressionists with the greater weight and compositional structure of works by the American realists. He specialized in winter views of the Delaware River and summer scenes of Cornwall, England. 

Oct. 6-31
Daniel Finch and Brenton Good: Impulse & Deliberation

Goodyear Gallery, Goodyear Building (Cedar Street entrance)
Gallery hours: Tuesday through Friday, 3-5 p.m.; Saturday, 2-5 p.m.; closed Oct. 16-20

Finch and Good will exhibit paintings from recent bodies of work, focusing on abstraction, archetypal characters and the dialogue between materiality and artist manipulation. Both artists are studio-art faculty at Messiah College. Reception TBA.

singer pur

German vocal ensemble Singer Pur returns to Dickinson to explore the long arc of a cappella repertory. Songs about love, death and mock-turtle soup grace this program, which pairs medieval composers with classical masters like Brahms and contemporary artists like Sting and Chick Corea.

 

 

“… a razor-sharp sense of pitch and a focused, pure tone … something truly rich and marvellous.” —BBC Music Magazine

“Who is now to say that Renaissance music is dull; John Cage, tiresome; or Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, too sweet? After hearing Singer Pur, such prejudices can no longer be maintained.”  —Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung

“Choral luminosity of incredible intensity.” —Pforzheimer Zeitung

Eddie manages a struggling chain restaurant. He wants it to be the kind of place that brings people together, but it doesn’t seem to work out that way—even for his own family. 

 

As the challenged waiters struggle to meet the demands for never-ending breadsticks, gluten-free pasta and emergency cleanup of all types, Eddie tries to connect with something real. This brand-new, darkly comic play from Samuel D. Hunter, one of America’s most promising emerging writers, brings a distinctive, contemporary voice to our stage.
