Objects)! Meet some of the Mad Quilters and see their not so completed quilts (and a few that are completed) and learn why they have more UFOs then FOs. Are they lazy? Unskilled? Bored? They will show and tell. The event will have interactive stations for one to grab some wine and cheese and meet the quilters and learn about them and their quilts. Leave the white gloves at home. This isn’t a typical quilt show and it’s not just for women! If for no other reason… come encourage them to the TGIF (Thank Goodness It’s Finished) stage.

S. Presidents, prize fighters and film sirens. Enjoy clips from these films and others, including Guys and Dolls with Marlon Brando, Pal Joey co-starring Rita Hayworth and Kim Novak, The Manchurian Candidate and two of Cole Porter’s movie scores, Can-Can and High Society, which paired Sinatra with his childhood idol, Bing Crosby.

It was written for the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini, who had sung the part of the primo uomo Cecilio in Lucio Silla the previous year. While waiting for the end of the run (from 26 December 1772 to 25 January 1773), Mozart composed the motet for his singer, whose technical excellence he admired. Its first performance took place at the Theatine Church on 17 January 1773, while Rauzzini was still singing in Mozart’s opera at night. Mozart made some revisions around 1780. In modern times, the motet is usually sung by a female soprano. The motet is composed three movements, the third is the very famous Alleluia! Additional music will be announced during the program.
