A Tale of Three Cities: Pianism in Vienna, Paris and New York

Proceeding from past Spring Island surveys of the overall classical piano repertoire, this seminar will focus upon piano writing emanating from three discrete cultural centers over  the past two centuries.  
 
In three two-hour sessions, Arthur Tollefson will focus upon the keyboard output of the German, French and American traditions.  As in his 2008 and 2010 seminars, the presentations will be illustrated with copious live performances of excerpts exemplifying  the three cities’ pianistic legacy.

Oil Painting Workshop

The Spring Island Trust will offer an oil painting class given by visiting artist James Sulkowski from January 23rd through the 26th from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. daily. For more information, please email us at info@springisland.com.

CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES OF CLASSICAL PAINTING

In this workshop, James Sulkowski discusses the effects of light and atmosphere as they relate to forms in space. This timeless Old Master approach results in a luminous painting full of depth and rich in color. The palette, background colors, composition, form and texture will also be a focus of this workshop.

The quality and characteristics of various flowers and still life objects such as glass, copper, porcelain and more are broken down to their simplest concepts.

Demonstrations plus personal instruction will enable the student to understand, simplify and apply these classic principles to their own work.

Rice Gates Installation (11/7-11/8)

The rice gates are going to be installed at the Shrimp Pond this Monday & Tuesday.  This is a fascinating process to watch!  This operation must occur at low tide which is at noon so the most interesting time to watch will be between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.  each day. On Monday, the best place to view the activity is by parking on the cul-de-sac of Shrimp Pond Circle and walking down the trail easement to the pond.  On Tuesday, park along Walker House Landing and walk down the trail easement that  leads to the fishing dock.  Each day we will gather at a location along the edge of the pond that provides the best vantage point and will describe what the crew is doing and how rice gates work.
