William Storck’s New Classic Works at Troika

by Leave a Comment

Becalmed in Evenings Glow. oil, 20 x 30

William Stork – New Classic Works, opens at Troika Gallery on October 6, 2023.  Marine and landscape oil paintings, fresh from the easel, will feature in this majestic exhibit.

William Storck has been painting full time for over 40 years. He first studied with the master painter Naoto Nakagawa in Vermont and then at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Mr. Storck’s first solo show in Annapolis at the age of 25 completely sold out. Storck is a member of the American Society of Marine Artists. His paintings hang in private collections in the United States and Europe and the US Embassy.

   His romantic views of the Chesapeake reflect a lifetime spent studying the lands and waters of the Bay. Renown for his marine paintings, drawn from his love of sailing and personal observations of traditional Chesapeake-built Schooners and Skipjacks still sailing and working on the bay,  Storck strives to integrate the water, the wind, the sky, and sailing vessels into a carefully balanced, light infused, timeless image. J.M.W. Turner, James Hamilton, and Fitz Hugh Lane are important influences in Mr. Storck’s work.

Featuring “The Finest of Fine Art,” Troika Gallery is the longest operating gallery on the Eastern Shore.  Selected numerous times as the Best Art Gallery by What’s Up Eastern Shore magazine, it has many loyal followers.  Whether an art collector, art lover or an art browser, Troika encourages you to stop in and see the beautiful art.  Professional Artist and Gallery Owner, Laura Era along with Gallery Manager Peg Fitzgerald, welcome your visit and will happily address questions on fine art, portraiture, framing and installation.

Troika Gallery is located at 9 South Harrison Street, Easton, MD and is open Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11 to 6 pm, Tuesday and Wednesday by appointment. www.troikagallery.com.

Delmarva Review: Sweet Gum by Catherine Carter

by Leave a Comment

Author’s Note: “Sweet gum” celebrates the remarkable sweet gum tree; it also praises—well, praise, which it sees as another face of rage and mourning; it sees rage as also a kind of praise, praise of what could be and isn’t.  Some literature seems to suggest that to celebrate anything is to wallow in privilege and ignore all the world’s appalling misery, that misery and evil are inherently more real than joy.  This poem doesn’t agree.

Sweet Gum

       Liquidambar styraciflua

On the sandy track, a smashed squirrel boils
up fresh maggots when stirred with a hand,
refuse of the same old haste and waste,
while the bright October wind sifts down
sweet gum leaves over gray fur and crushed
flesh, reminding the springing squirrel-
mind that black gum leaves turn red, and sweet-
gum leaves—hanging among their caltrop-
seeds—turn purply-black; but that’s naming
for you in a life where we learn late
or not at all, and at least sweet gum
smells sweet, amber-sap native of a new
world which was always the same old world:
bite the sandy stem of a fallen
star-shaped leaf and you’ll catch myrrh-resin,
breathe up incense, even as you feel
its grit grate in your teeth and must spit
and spit. The same old world’s awash
in those telling the same old story:
the one where meat sliding into maws
of ivory worms is always more
real than the life that carried it here
on five-clawed feet, death never less than
appalling, the grit always harsher
than the sassafras-tang of the sap
is bright; where joy is so bourgeois
that they’re ashamed to own the fine
of these few minutes standing on sand
beside the dead, to gnaw the gritty
stem of a leaf whose life has sunk back
into its tree. But today, strangely,
you remember that in this sudden
second, you can pause, you don’t always
have to collude while that same old
story eats all the other stories;
that this wringing place has many names;
that another face of all the rage
and grief is praise. As these maggots praise,
curling like ecstatic toes in their first
first feast, refusing to waste anything.
As this gum tree praises, releasing
deep-purple five-pointed stars into
the shining morning, alligator-
barked being whose first name is sweet.

Spy Music Review: MSO Season Opener Spans Centuries by Steve Parks

by Leave a Comment

Composer Jessie Montgomery

The Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra opened its 2023-24 season with something old and something entirely new, led by its Grammy-winning music director, Michael Repper.

The first selection of Thursday night’s program signals that the new season will feature, along with classical masterpieces by long-dead composers, music by our contemporaries, and works by women and men of color, living or dead. First up was Jessie Montgomery, an African-American woman born in New York City in 1981, which makes her at least 23 years shy of Medicare eligibility. Her “New York Strum” debuted in 2006 as a string quartet piece and, over the next six years, evolved into a full orchestral “voice,” as Montgomery calls it, giving “Strum” a more expansive sound.

Montgomery was among the black female composers whose works comprised the recording that won the New York Youth Orchestra and Repper their 2022 Grammy. In introducing the piece, Repper stated what would become apparent – why it was called “Strum.” The first notes and a great many that followed were plucked on strings, starting with first cellist Katie McCarthy as violin and viola pizzicato joined in to create a percussive throughline. A thoroughly modern piece emerged, without atonal digressions, to mimic a NYC vibe, much as Gershwin did for another city in “American in Paris” nearly a century ago (1928). Bouncy changes of pace introduced with gliding bows led to a rapid-fire coda featuring a sonorous bass undertone by Chris Chlumsky and T. Alan Stewart.

Moving back a couple of centuries, Tchaikovsky created some of the most recognizable and romantic melodies in all of classical music. Some of his most beloved pieces were ballets – “Swan Lake” and “The Nutcracker.” But most of his work was written for full symphony orchestration. “Serenade for Strings,” second on the opening night program, is a Tchaikovsky rarity – strings-only. While it is not a greatest-hits medley for strings, its melodies are so accessible and memorable – ranging from melancholy to a folk romp – they may leave you humming them at intermission, even if you’re unfamiliar with the entire “Serenade.”

The highly romantic sonata opening features dramatic flourishes typical of Tchaikovsky that blend seamlessly into the busy second movement with violins in charge of the balletic cadence challenged by cello and bass counterpoint. The third movement sets a lighter dance mood with a flowing waltz refrain heard in other contexts, such as cinematic soundtracks. The finale begins with what could be a requiem before settling into a pastoral disposition that morphs into a reawakening embroidered with spirited repeats of earlier themes.The finale, post-intermission, takes us back still one more century to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4. For all its ingenuity, his Fourth is dwarfed in significance and widespread recognition by the bookends of his Third (“Eroica”), which revolutionized classical music of the 18th Century, and his Fifth, featuring the most famous phrase in musical history (“da-da-da DUM”). The Fourth wanders at times, seemingly aimlessly, to an uplifting allegro. In context, the celebratory finish seems ironic in that Beethoven is said to have endured serial rejections by women he desired and was worried, to the point of suicidal thoughts, about the onset of deafness. Without the light-hearted Fourth, maybe there would be no Fifth. 

The ominous opening, with soft strings and echoing brass and reeds, breaks into a gallop and the declarative bombast we expect of a Beethoven symphony, executed here with conviction. The lighter second movement gives us and the musicians a breather with melodic changes in tempo and temperament. The third movement introduces one of the more relatable passages dominated by the higher strings led by concertmaster Kimberly McCollum and first violist Yuri Tomenko. The finale is a high-energy race to a happy ending that brought the appreciative opening night audience to its feet.

Which brings me back to the actual first notes of the concert, which are not listed on the program: “The Star-Spangled Banner,” played, of course, with lyrics unsung, had me keeping pace up to the moment where at any sporting event, I shout out “O” at the “O say can you see” line. Professional decorum persuaded me to reduce my shout to a whisper. But in acknowledgment of my urge and perhaps that of others, Repper pointed out that the national anthem had just been played (and sung) at Camden Yards in Baltimore about an hour earlier as the Orioles went on to clinch the American League East division title on their way, hopefully, to the first World Series ever at Oriole Park since its debut in 1992. Go O’s! And the MSO, too.

2nd Annual Easton Fall Craft Fair Set for Oct. 7

by Leave a Comment

The second annual Easton Fall Craft Fair will take place Saturday, October 7 on the grounds of Trinity Cathedral in downtown Easton. The event is free and open to the public. There will be 35 vendors selling handmade crafts, plus a raffle with unique prizes, a bake sale and hot dog stand.

“This year’s fair will be bigger and better this year,” said Leslie Walker, the event coordinator. “Vendors will be showing a wide variety of handmade work from all across Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and Pennsylvania. It should be a great place to get a head start on your holiday shopping.”

The fair supports two good causes — promoting handmade regional artwork and a new community outreach program called the Easton English School at Trinity. The English School launched last October, offering free classes to English language learners every Wednesday at Miller Hall, the building behind the cathedral.

The Oct. 7 craft fair will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 315 Goldsborough St. in Easton. Many of the vendors are local, based on the Eastern Shore. They will be selling jewelry, woodwork, basketry, glassware, 3D art, soaps, ceramics, needlepoint, quilts, toys, custom-painted LP art, stained glass and much more. Booths will be located both inside Miller Hall and outside throughout the cathedral grounds. 

Fairgoers will be able to buy raffle tickets for a chance at two prizes — a beautiful handmade quilt and a large, unique Charcuterie board, custom made from the historic Maryland Wye Oak Tree by McMartin & Beggins of Wittman. Whoever wins the board also will receive a free class in how to arrange and present charcuterie food, donated and led by Vines & Vibes Restaurant in Easton.

In the event of rain, the fair will be rescheduled for Saturday, October 14.

Local Author Unearths Maryland Civil War History

by Leave a Comment

Fake news, election fraud and the arrest of political opponents, When Democracy Fell is an exhaustively researched and extremely well documented account of the constitutional crisis faced by Maryland’s government and citizens during the early years of the Civil War.  This book shatters the long-believed myth that the Maryland Legislature and the government of Baltimore were imprisoned to prevent Maryland from seceding from the Union and provides overwhelming evidence that the imprisonments were to silence their dissent, to prevent the Maryland Legislature from taking their protests directly to the American public, and to take control and ensure the outcome of the upcoming elections in Maryland. 

When Democracy Fell unearths never before reported and long suppressed historical information pertaining to the significant events during the U.S. Civil War that shaped both Maryland and our Nation’s history.  The author, Paul Callahan, a Talbot County native, knew he had to write this book when he came across historical newspaper accounts in the papers of Europe that detailed how General Tench Tilghman of Oxford Maryland was to lead an army of rebels in an attack against the Capital and to support the Legislature’s secession from the Union.  Additional research uncovered a series of internationally disseminated articles, originated in Washington, that were assessed as “fake news” meant to inflame the passions of the North and to provide the public an acceptable reason to arrest the Maryland Legislature. 

When Democracy Fell unearths the actual motivation behind the arrest and imprisonment of Talbot County Judge Richard Bennett Carmichael along with Talbot’s District Attorney J.C.W. Powell.  This history took a completely unexpected twist in discovering the involvement of a powerful politician with a well-established family name in Talbot County. 

From the Union’s attack plan against Baltimore City, through the elections of 1863 and everything in between, When Democracy Fell is the Nation’s first book which comprehensively covers the constitutional crisis experienced in Maryland during the Civil War. 

A book lecture sponsored by the Talbot Historical Society will be held on Wednesday October 4, at 1 pm, please visit www.talbothistory.org for additional information.  Vintage Books located directly across from the courthouse in Easton will host a book signing on October 7 from 11 am to 4 pm.  For more information on this interesting new book and where to purchase, please visit www.whendemocracyfell.com.

Spy Arts Diary: Tributes, Tributaries and Transcontinental Art by Steve Parks

by Leave a Comment

Barely a month ago, James William Buffett departed the beach party for good. But “Margaritaville” parties again just a short drive from Maryland’s beach capital, Ocean City. “Parrotbeach: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett” throws a one-night-only dinner party and concert on Saturday evening, Oct. 14, at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center in Salisbury. The Parrotbeach tribute band, with Remy St. Martin as Buffett fandom’s leading man, plays his greatest hits, from “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” to “Come Monday,” culminating, of course, with “Margaritaville.” Dinner starts an hour before the 7:30 show with a salad menu, key lime slaw, margarita chicken, Caribbean pork loin, Jamaican rice, and mac-cheese. Adult beverages – featuring margarita concoctions for sure – are available on your tab. Tickets are on sale until 4 p.m. Oct. 10.

Meanwhile, two more tribute events are coming up at the Avalon Theatre in Easton. “Forever Tina” features Suzette Dorsey in the title role of a theatrical show with 12 cast-and-crew members that has toured three continents to keep the music of Tina Turner alive. “Forever Tina” comes to the Avalon for one performance on Oct. 6. 

A week later, on Oct. 13, The Weight Band takes the same stage for the evening. Led by Jim Weider, a longtime member of The Band and the late Levon Helm’s spinoff band, The Weight takes its name from one of The Band’s greatest hits, written by Robbie Robertson, who died in August. Also on the show’s playlist is “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” and a new song by The Weight Band.

The national tour of the Broadway revival of “Funny Girl,” starring Katerina McCrimmon of the New York City Center’s Encore production of “Light in the Piazza” in the title role of Fanny Brice with Melissa Manchester as her mom and Stephen Mark Lukas as Fanny’s gambler boyfriend and later her jailbird husband. The musical runs for eight performances Oct. 24-29 at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre at the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center downtown.

Whether or not you’re worried about the writers and actors strike putting new releases of movies in deep freeze, or even if you haven’t been to a movie theater since the COVID shutdown, the Chesapeake Film Festival has you covered every which way. Starting with a preview reception at the Academy Art Museum on Saturday, Sept. 30, the live festival presents 31 films – documentaries and features along with topical shorts – on opening night and Sunday, Oct. 1, at the Avalon Theatre and the Ebenezer Theatre in Easton. Among the live film presentations are the Maryland premiere of “Karen Carpenter: Starving for Perfection” and “The Life and Legend of Jane Goodall,” who devoted her life’s work to studying chimpanzees.

The virtual festival continues Oct. 2-8 with 37 films you can stream at home. Among them are “Delmarva and the Ground for Change,” about family-owned farms and the effect of climate change on local agriculture.  A documentary short on a similar theme, “Dear President Biden,” asks the question, “How’s he doing?” regarding his promise as a candidate to do everything he can to address the “existential threat” of climate change on water, land, and air.

The Phillips Collection, which opened on Washington, D.C.’s DuPont Circle in 1921 – eight years before Manhattan’s Modern Museum of Art – bills itself with apparent justification as “America’s First Museum of Modern Art.” 

A century later, the Phillips, now at 1600 21st St. NW, opens a special exhibition examining the emergence of modern African and African-American artists in the post-World War II era. “African Modernism in America, 1947-67” runs Oct. 7-Jan. 7, 2024, featuring works by 50 artists from Africa and the United States – among them Jacob Lawrence, David Driskell, and Ibrahim El-Salahi. The exhibition draws on transcontinental connections between artists and curators to challenge racial assumptions about African artworks. Along with pieces from the postwar period, the show also includes “The Politics of Selection,” a 2022 commissioned work by Ndidi Dike addressing the absence of women artists in recognizing African modernity.

The 26th annual craft show of the Academy Art Museum, one of its most popular events, brings 70 artists from all over the United States to Easton for a preview event Oct. 27 and a two-day show and sale – from jewelry to woodworks, fabrics to glass-blowing – Oct. 28 and 29.

Stage Fright: 1964 Set for October 25

by 1 Comment

President Lyndon B. Johnson will give remarks during a live, nation wide television broadcast right here in Easton! The Distinguished Ladies of the Hellfire Club invite you to this gala event. With host Twig Hammerstein of Doris Radio Program fame and musical guests The Teddy Bears & The Cardigans. Don’t miss this opportunity to show your support for LBJ! Sponsored by L.L. Baker Foundations & Basements.

In the year 1964, TV was king and Lou Baker, owner of the Avalon Hotel, was sure to capitalize on it. A television crew was set to live broadcast what was to be the Country’s premier presidential campaign gala for Lyndon B. Johnson. As a series of unfortunate events unfurl, will pop star Jenny Chambers survive the night?

The Acid Test in the Basement sponsored by Other Half Brewing. Many thanks to our generous patrons: Other Half Brewing, Lyons Rum, Piazza Italian Market.

ATTENDEES SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR EXTENSIVE WALKING, MATURE THEMES, AND A NIGHT THEY WON’T SOON FORGET.

From the author: I came up with the concept of Stage Fright after a firsthand encounter with Marguerite, ghost of the Avalon. The story was originally written in 2015 as a feature length screen play. This was way more than could be fit into a 90-minute stage play and so much storyline was left on the cutting room floor. Following the success of Stage Fright 1 in 2022, there was a resounding request for more. More questions, more answers, more clowns! How does the story of Marguerite end? Written as a sequel to last year’s hit show, Stage Fright: 1964 picks up right where we left you hanging last Halloween. – Casey Rauch

From the director: Like so many Eastern Shore natives, I left our little peninsula to see what the rest of the world had to offer. What I found out there was a deep and passionate love of theatre and filmmaking. I worked professionally and lived the big city life, but in my heart my hometown kept calling to me.

So I moved back, like so many, started my family and built a life here. I thought my days of avant guard theatre were over… Until Stage Fright.

There is a need in our community for projects like this and not just for the audiences we serve but for those participating as well. We’re craving human connection, live entertainment and meaningful storytelling. Not to mention it’s TONS of fun. The sheer amount of talent in our cast and crew is worth supporting, but more than that it’s the art. Stage Fright is a piece of art, created by many hands. Created by a community. -Cecile Storm
