Book Talk - William S. Connery
Sunday, 04/01/2012 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Join William S. Connery for a book talk on his book "Civil War Northern Virginia 1861".
In the mid-nineteenth century, Arlington was an eleven-hundred-acre estate managed by U.S. Colonel and Mrs. Robert E. Lee; Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun Counties consisted of rolling farmland and tiny villages. This peaceful region was thrown into chaos as South Carolina seceded from the Union in December 1860 and other slave states followed until Virginia finally joined the Confederacy in April and May 1861. The "invasion" of Northern Virginia on May 24, 1861, created a no-man's land between Yankee and Rebel armies. Some citizens joined Confederate forces, while others stayed to face uncertainty. William S. Connery offers new insights into this most important time in American history.
Mr. Connery is originally from Baltimore Maryland. He has been writing articles since 1999. This is his first book.

Squalicum’s music curriculum boasts four choirs, three bands, one percussion ensemble, three orchestras, two guitar ensembles, and an AP Music Theory Class. At the Hylton, the directors promise not to give an AP exam from the stage , but you will hear 112 members of the choir, orchestra, and concert band perform a variety of music ranging in style from American folk and patriotic tunes to light classics and jazz. An exciting grand finale featuring BORCH performing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” will culminate this inspirational afternoon.
Thurman White Middle School from Henderson Nevada, a suburb of Las Vegas will present their jazz ensemble as Lobby Music to preceed the Choir and Orchestra on Stage. This outstanding program is well-known for its highly sophisticated program and is under the direction of William Daines, Kerry Bennett and Ryan Gourley.
This free community concert is presented by Music Celebrations International -National Festival of the States in honor and celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

Giselle by Moscow Festival Ballet
Thursday, 04/12/2012 8:00 PM
In the great tradition of grand Russian ballet, the Moscow Festival Ballet presents the tale of a beautiful, young peasant girl, Giselle, who falls madly in love with a count disguised as a simple villager. When Giselle discovers her beloved’s identity and then learns that he is engaged to another, she is driven mad. She then searches out of the ghosts of girls who avenge the evil deeds of the men who have jilted them. This tragic Russian masterpiece is packed with vengeance, betrayal, and death, but love and forgiveness prevail in the end. These amazing Russian dancers bring this mesmerizing production to life, highlighting Petipa’s brilliant and graceful choreography, which is enhanced by the hauntingly beautiful score and exquisite costumes and sets. “The dancers of the Moscow Festival Ballet spoke to the soul through the body performing a magnificent Giselle.” (Post and Courier)
