With only two more performances on the Sunday Sunset Vespers Series this year, the Bay View faculty artists will perform its show entitled Mambo Italiano on Sunday, August 4 at 8 p.m. in Hall Auditorium.

The concert is named for the song performed by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, and more. Hit after hit will grace the stage as faculty artists and opera students per-form music inspired by Italian com-posers, performers, and cultural icons that include Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney, Billy Joel, Mario Lanza, and even Andrea Bocelli.

The repertoire also features music of Giuseppe Verdi, as the festival choir sings Va Pensiero, a work that almost became a national anthem of sorts for the Italian people. It is followed by a preview of the hilarious, melodic, and fast-paced number from the opera Falstaff, which will be performed the following week in its entirety as the culmination of the student artist pro-gram. The theme from The Godfather, L’Addio a Napoli, music from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Bocelli’s The Prayer, and Scenes from an Italian Restaurant of Billy Joel will also be performed.

Next Sunday, August 11, the art-ists of the Bay View Music Festival will offer their final performance of the 2013 Season. The end of the Sunday Sunset Vesper Series is always an emotional experience for audi-ence, faculty, and students as many bid farewell to another summer fol-lowing this show and return to their posts throughout the country in opera houses, universities and college con-servatories.

I also want to thank those who over the years have faithfully shown up each Friday morning. Finally, I want to thank Sally Smith for agree-ing to assume responsibility for continuing the Forum for next year and beyond. Thanks also to Karen Weaver and Greg Jackson who will be assisting Sally.

Comedian Heywood Banks will take the stage at John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View for a one-night performance of stand-up com-edy and hilarious songs. The perfor-mance begins at 8 p.m., and tickets range from $18 - $25 for reserved and/or general seating.

Heywood Banks, a handsome man (see photo, the camera loves him!) is more than another pretty face. He is a comedian and songwriter that has been a frequent guest on that Bob and Tom morning radio show which is played all over the country. Banks has also been on A&E, HBO, Showtime,

Comedy Central and numerous other programs with his raft of parody songs and skits designed to tickle even the stodigiest funny bone. His songs include “Wiperblades,” “One Eye Love,” “18 Wheels on a Big Rig,” “Fly’s Eyes,” “Never Trust a Puppet,” and “The OhioIowaIdahoHawaii Highway.” Others include “Tie a Yellow Ribbon,” “Bicycle Built for Two,” or “Baby’s Got Back.” Banks also has a song called “Toast” that has singlehandedly won more school and camp talent contests for kids then any other song in the history of the world!

In an effort to serve more mem-bers’ interests and to support the hugely successful Chicago Tribute on Appreciation Night enjoyed by 395 people, the Crouse endowment helped to fund that performance, making it possible to offer THAT evening free to members instead of charging them for an evening that was focused on all

that they do to make Bay View what it is. We sincerely thank the Crouse family for their generous support of this and the master class with Chris Brubeck on Aug. 3 at 10 a.m., which is also free to members. By shifting the Crouse funding so that the mem-bers could enjoy the Chicago Tribute for free, the concert on August 3rd at 8pm with Chris Brubeck will be

made available at the price of $25 for reserved ($22.50 for members) and $20 general ($18 for members). Member cards will not be accepted at the door for the concert that evening. While it represents a change, we felt that it was one that benefited the most people and all who thoroughly enjoyed such a magnificent evening under the sky on July 12.

CL: Why Falstaff as the opera?

KC: Falstaff is a fantastic ensemble piece that shows off everybody! While the title role is a major part of course, but all of the others are not much smaller. This is particularly good for young artist programs so that the whole cast has an opportunity to get the most out of the experience.

SS: Falstaff is a great educational opportunity for our opera students as well as a hilariously funny and enter-taining show for the audience. It is based on William Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor, throwing light on the title character who is prince Hal's drinking buddy in Shakespeare's play Henry IV. With an equal number of male and female roles, Shakespeare's play, through Arrigo Boito's adapta-tion, pits women against men in an epic musical battle of the sexes, which only Shakespeare himself could have thought of.

CL: What is the most engaging thing about opera, from your perspec-tive?

KC: The amazing vocal acrobatics of opera are usually the thing that first-time opera goers are impressed by. But once they are able to be brought to tears by the sheer beauty of what a singer can do, they'll be hooked for life. It's a feeling that's irreplaceable.

SS: Falstaff is a very complex char-acter - an unusual antagonist. While his actions are despicable, the audi-ence can't help but empathize with him and even cheer him on at times. As audience members, we find our loyalties divided between the wronged women and the bumbling knight.

CL: What is the biggest misunder-standing about opera that you find?

KC: I find that the biggest misun-

derstanding is that opera is something for the elite. The old stereotype of needing to dress in evening gowns and tuxedos to not be embarrassed when you go to the opera is complete-ly wrong. I have a passion for opera and I want to share it with the world. Come as you are and let me show you something exciting about this incred-ible art form!

SS: That it is an antiquated theat-rical platform or out of touch. That it isn't relevant to today's audiences. These stories are human and univer-sal, the truths are timeless. Another misconception is that operas in for-eign languages make it less accessible for American audiences. I think this point of view underestimates the audi-ences ability or willingness to experi-ence something new or different. A big part of my job as a director is to make sure that the audience has to spend as little time as possible reading the supertitles.

CL: What is the most exciting thing about working with young sing-ers?

KC: Young singers are in the pro-cess of discovery and it's so fulfilling to show them some new angle about the music or a vocal technique that helps them achieve their next level. Falstaff has an incredible cast and director, and I'm particularly happy to have the opportunity to work with this specific group of world-class tal-ent!

SS: It has been a thrill to work with this group of opera students. The show is double - cast meaning that we have two complete casts who alternate performances. The group is made up of a variety of singers at various dif-ferent points in their musical and aca-demic education, from undergraduate to doctoral students as well as young

artists at the beginning of their pro-fessional careers. I find myself learn-ing something new about Falstaff in every rehearsal because of the unique insights and nuances each singer brings to the table.

CL: What will audiences see if they come to the opera on Aug. 6, 8, 9, or 10?

KC: Get ready for a roller coaster ride! Falstaff was Verdi's last opera, and the last words of his last opera really display his light-hearted Italian nature: “tutti gabbati”– “all is a joke”. ... and Falstaff's fat suit is my favorite part.

SS: Prepare to laugh! We have two very strong casts, and two dis-tinct performances. Every character in this opera, from Falstaff himself to the Garter Inn page boy, has an indi-vidual story that can be traced from beginning to end. Even the broom in the Garter Inn has it's own sub plot. Nothing better than a good laugh to wind up the summer season on a high note. More on Falstaff on page 8.

Fun Comes in Many Packages

Education is a life-long endeavor. True learners never stop learning, and so our summer offerings just keep coming! First of all, we hope everyone took advantage of and enjoyed Dr. Michael Kazin’s week with us. The American Experience lectures are a co-sponsored by both the Education team and the Religion team. You can support this vital, inspiring lecture series by designating your gift to The American Experience fund. Special thanks to David Scarrow and his team of scholars who select and procure this tremendous speaker each year.

Here are the courses lined up for next week, August 5 – August 9:

•Painting with the Witty Eye with noted oil painter Trisha Witty: 4 Sessions – Monday, August 5 through Thursday, August 8, 1 – 4 p.m.

•Mysterious People, Places, & things with Dr. Steve Neff, Psychologist: 3 Sessions – Tuesday, August 6 through Thursday, August 8, 1 – 2:30 p.m.

•Fairy garden Design Workshop

with Cynthia Marovich: 1 Session – Wednesday, August 7, 10 – 11:15 a.m.

•Finding and getting Into the Right College for You with Toby Jones and Mark Pontoni: 1 Session – Thursday, August 8, 7 – 8:30 p.m.

Meet Trisha Witty…For the second straight year, we

are absolutely thrilled to welcome area artist Trisha Witty (pictured below) to our Bay View Education classroom. Trisha is one of Northern Michigan’s most accomplished artists.

She opened her Harbor Springs gallery when she was just 19 years old and has been supporting herself as an artist for more than twenty years. Her work has been displayed and purchased all over the country, and she has also trav-eled and produced work from all over the world. She even had a painting selected to appear in a recent hit film of George Clooney’s! But most impor-tantly of all, Trisha loves to teach art-ists at all levels. Her course this year, Painting with the Witty Eye, is geared toward both beginner and intermedi-ate oil painters. One of the things this year’s participants will learn is how to paint with a pallet knife. Trisha loves the outdoors and is an avid ski racer, so count on this course taking place outdoors whenever the weather permits!

While this class comes at a some-what higher price than our other courses, remember that you are spend-ing 12 in-class hours with one of the finest artists you’ll ever be exposed to. In a class of less than 10, you will get a ton of personal attention and see your progress as a painter, as you will produce several works during the class itself. Sign up today at bayview.asapconnected.com.

education Notes:By Toby Jones, education Director

Trisha, pictured above wearing the straw hat, leads a group of stu-dents in her painting class.

On Tuesday Molly Kircher extend-ed Lake Affect’s hospitality to those attending a special preview of her new clothing line, TRYBE. After sipping ice tea and hovering around a lovely display of colorful macaroons, those attending gathered to listen to how TRYBE came to be and what Molly envisions for her northern boutique. As she told her story, the unique-ness of Lake Affect unfolded. Patron, Nina McDonald from Grosse Pointe and a Harbor Springs resident shared with me what she felt as Molly spoke. “Molly gets it. She speaks from her heart and she understands why we

are all drawn to ‘up north.’ Molly has captured the affect the lake has on all of us. I’m coming back! This feels new and fresh.”

Lake Affect generated excitement as attendees found just what they need-ed. It wasn’t long before the sounds of wrapping and shopping moved about the store. Molly has captured what we all like about northern Michigan... a place to gather, memories and a touch of comfort. Lake Affect is definitely a place to browse or to bring a friend. Anticipation of my next visit closed the door behind me and I carried my fun home.

The repertoire planned for the stu-dent artist recital has all been chosen to be accessible, enjoyable, and effer-vescent and will feature brass, string, and wind ensembles, as well as voice students whose fully staged opera production opened the night before. The performance, enti-tled Chamber Music Finale, takes place in Hall Auditorium on Wednesday August 7 and begins at 7 p.m. (not the usual time of 8 p.m.). The concert is free in exchange for a donation to the schol-arship fund and is followed by a lovely reception hosted by the music committee, who are well-known for throwing a great party, complete with Dixieland jazz band as background

music.

Every year, over 50 students are in session for either a 4, 6, or 8 week session in which they study with Bay View faculty artists, offer recit-als weekly on the Bay View cam-pus, and perform throughout the

local communities of Cheboygan, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and beyond. The cost for a student to attend the festival is roughly $3,000 for an eight week period, and 100% of

the students attending receive some scholarship assistance, but each stu-dent also commits their own financial resources and forego jobs in order to receive this invaluable training experi-ence that is like no other in the coun-try. Numerous endowments set up by predecessors continue to contrib-

ute income each year toward the goal of nearly $30,000, but is supplemented by passionate supporters of these promising collegiate musicians who are in the com-munity around Little Traverse Bay as emis-saries of music and the festival.

Student RecitalContinued from page 1

Clarification of Use of Directory and election MaterialBy Larry Ternan, Board President

Questions have been asked about use of the Directory of Bay View Members and their email addresses and other information. The Directory is provided to the membership as a service to provide good communica-tion between members. No commer-cial use of the list or information may be made by anyone.

The office has not and will not make available to any other member or anyone a computer list of names and/or email addresses. Recent mass emailings related to ballot questions and candidates in Bay View’s current election process have not used any-thing from the office or staff.

The Board position is to discour-age members from using the Directory information for mass mailings and emailings. Members not wishing to receive such mailings may decide to not provide an email address for the Directory. Other than that, listing of email addresses helps in communica-tions between members.

In the election materials provided by the office, there were two pages which stated the pro and con posi-tions of the respective sides on the proposed bylaw amendment. The Board has a policy of providing a type of League of Women Voters’ informa-tion guide with both sides of an issue invited to submit a short summary of

their respective position. That is what was done this year.

The Board and staff did not write either position statements and do not endorse or help one side or the other. The materials were reviewed by the Executive Director and the Association’s attorney, in a gener-al way without rewriting. On the two sheets it was stated that the statements were written by the sides advancing the position. A disclaimer by the Board and the staff was not included, although that should have been evident. A disclaimer will be included in the future. The policy will be reviewed by the Board at its winter meeting.

Base ball, the way it was played in the 1860’s is returning to Bay View on Saturday August 3rd on Swift Field in the 3rd Annual Kilwin’s Fudge Bucket Classic Vintage Base Ball Tournament. (Base Ball was two words prior to the 1880’s.)

Players will wear uniforms of the era and will use balls and bats mod-eled after those used around 1867. The game will be played without gloves because gloves were not used at that time. Fans, or ‘cranks’ as they were known then, will notice some slightly different base ball rules as well. In that era a runner could not over-run first base, and was out if the fielder caught the ball on one bound.

The Bay View tournament sched-ule features two games on Saturday. In the first game at noon, the Wahoo Base Ball Club of Royal Oak will battle the Early Risers of Detroit. A game at 2 p.m. will feature the Saginaw Old Golds against the Royal Oak team.

Other tournament games will be held at the Petoskey Winter Sports Park featur-ing the host team, the Petoskey Mossbacks. The tournament’s win-ning team will win a bucket of fudge cour-tesy of the tournament sponsor, Kilwin’s.

Admission is free to all of the games. Cranks are encouraged to bring their own blankets and lawn chairs.

For those who are familiar with Verdi’s work, it was Otello, another one of Shakespeare’s classics, which was to serve as Verdi’s farewell to the opera stage. Fortunately for us, and under the persuasion of his friend and librettist Arrigo Boito, Verdi comes out of a 15-year retirement at age 78 with Falstaff, a tale featuring the braggart English knight of Henry IV, Henry V, and Merry Wives of Windsor. While most productions of the opera set the tale in the Tudor period, this one plants the knight in feudal England, in 1413, at the height of Plantagenet rule. Prince Hal (Henry V), Falstaff’s old drinking buddy, has just ascend-ed the throne and honoring his late father’s wishes no longer associates himself with the aging rapscallion.

Finding himself down on his luck and quickly running out of funds to pay his ever-mounting bill at the Garter Inn, Falstaff sends matching love let-ters to two ladies of the Windsor court in the hope of laying his hands on the keys to their husband’s coffers. His plans go terribly awry when the two ladies learn of his scheme and plot to teach him a lesson or two.

The production is double cast and features the Bay View Music Festival opera students. Representing univer-sities from across the country, from Connecticut to California, this year’s students were handpicked from a record-breaking pool of submissions. With stage direction by Sarah Stone, the director of last year’s festival hit Titanic, the production team also

counts on fight director Nick Gisonde, as well as scenic designer Jared Cole and costumes by Fan Zhang. The orchestra features a combination of festival students and faculty under the able direction of Maestro Kelly Crandell.

Show dates and times: August 6, 8, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. in the Petoskey High School Auditorium. Reserved Tickets are $25. For purchase infor-mation please call 1-800-595-4849 or go to http://bayviewfestival.tix.com.
