SUMMARY:Concert: Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a FREE concert by the Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra. HICO will be performing the following pieces: \nOn Regression\, Accumulation\, and the Persistence of Ghosts – Lewis Nielson (b. 1950)\nWorld Premiere – Matt Sargent (b. 1984)\nWhat we talk about when we talk in 140 characters – Ryan Jesperson (b. 1981)\nWafting Mists – Daniel Morel (b. 1981) \nAnd here’s a bit more about HICO: \nComprised of a roster of premier Hartford-based musicians\, the Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra is devoted to enrichment through superb artistry. HICO forges its independent path through the canon of musical literature\, championing non-standard repertoire for chamber orchestra and large chamber ensembles\, engaging audiences across Greater Hartford and beyond with provocative and innovative programming. \nNow entering its ninth concert season\, HICO has appeared as a guest ensemble at the Women Composers Festival of Hartford\, Central Connecticut State University\, and The Hartt School of the University of Hartford\, among others. Their 2016-2017 concert season will include a residency with the Hartt School Young Composers Project\, Eastern Connecticut State University\, two Mainstage Concerts\, and chamber music concerts throughout the Greater Hartford area. \nWith numerous world premieres to their name\, HICO has introduced some of today’s leading young composers and concert soloists to the music scene. In April 2013\, the ensemble presented five world premieres on one concert program from four of the East Coast’s up and coming young composers.

SUMMARY:Speak Up at CMCH: Advanced Storytelling Workshop with Matthew Dicks
DESCRIPTION:Speak Up co-founder and Moth StorySLAM and GrandSLAM champion Matthew Dicks will be teaching a day-long workshop for those ready to move beyond the beginning workshop and tell their own stories. \nUnlike our beginner’s class\, which allows participants to be passive learners if they so choose\, the advanced version of the workshop is a more interactive\, performance-based model. Participants will be encouraged to tell a story of their own in a low stakes\, highly supportive environment – though they need not come to the workshop with a story prepared. Much of the instruction is driven through the stories told by participants\, so there is ample opportunity for actual storytelling. There is also a focus on performance techniques\, microphone work\, improvisational games\, and the explicit modeling of the crafting of a new story. \nRegistration is $85 for CMCH members and $95 for non-members (lunch is not included\, but there will be a lunch break). REGISTER ONLINE HERE. \nQuestions? Contact Jenny Steadman at (860) 236-5621 x289 or by email at jennifer_steadman@chs.org.

SUMMARY:Bus Trip to the Finnish American Heritage Society in Canterbury
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday April 22\, CMCH will offer a bus trip to the Finnish American Heritage Society in Canterbury\, where participants will tour the Hall\, enjoy a Finnish lunch\, and then visit several sites of historical significance to the community in eastern Connecticut. Commentary for the tour will be provided by historians Rachel Carley and Burton Jernstrom. The bus will depart from the CMCH at 9:00 am and return at 5:00 pm. \nThe trip costs $40 for CMCH members\, $45 for non-members\, and $25 for those who meet at the Hall (and don’t require bus transportation–the address to meet up is 76 North Canterbury Rd\, Canterbury\, CT 06331\, and we will arrive at the Hall at 10:30 am).  \nFor more information and to register\, call 860-236-5621 x 235.  \nThe bus trip is a program related to our new exhibit\, Sisu and Creativity: Finnish Cultural Heritage in Connecticut. For the exhibit\, the CMCH is partnering with the Finnish American Heritage Society (FAHS) based in Canterbury CT to present art works\, images\, and documentation of the community’s history from the FAHS archives\, one of the largest Finnish collections in the country. \nThe exhibit explores central characteristics of Finnish settlement in Connecticut – their agricultural cooperatives; the built environment including farms\, barns\, and community halls; the saunas constructed by every family as a social gathering place; the festivals celebrating important Finnish holidays; and the many artistic and musical traditions still practiced throughout the community. The exhibit illustrates the history\, continuity\, character\, and activities of the Finnish community as a story of resilience\, creativity\, preservation\, and sustainability. Exhibit visitors can explore concepts and ideas about Finnish culture in Connecticut through objects\, art works\, images\, and descriptive labels as well as through stories of individuals told in quotes and audio oral histories. Through the exhibit and programming\, viewers and event participants can gain historical context on the Finnish immigrant experience and discover a new understanding of unique Finnish contributions to the ethnic heritage of our state. \nThe story of the Finnish community in eastern Connecticut demonstrates “sisu” – the spirit of determination\, resilience\, hard work\, and creative problem-solving that has fostered their success and continues to sustain Finnish cultural heritage and identity. The exhibit draws from the art works\, images\, and documentation of community history housed in the FAHS archives\, one of the largest Finnish collections in the country. In 2014 architectural historian Rachel Carley conducted a detailed survey of Finnish heritage sites in partnership with the community. Their work provides an essential background to this exhibit project. For the past seventeen years the CT Cultural Heritage Arts Program at the CMCH has collaborated with members of the Finnish community on several traditional arts apprenticeships teaching weaving\, sauna building\, woodcarving\, fiddle playing\, and birch bark weaving\, as a way to support the community’s interest in their traditional practices. \n2017 marks the centenary of Finland’s independence from Russia\, as well as the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Finnish American Heritage Society\, and our collaborative exhibit project connects to a series of local and national commemorative events. Finns came to Connecticut in the 1920s from Brooklyn\, NY where they had immigrated for jobs in the late 1880s. They settled in eastern Connecticut to farm and were especially skilled at raising poultry. Expert carpenters\, Finns built social halls as places for the community to gather in Brooklyn\, Voluntown\, Waterford\, and Canterbury where the Finn Hall celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2015. This building\, on the National Register of Historic Places\, houses the very active Finnish American Heritage Society (FAHS) and the extensive archive\, oral history collection\, and museum of Finnish life in Connecticut that the group has compiled. Every Finnish homestead built its own sauna\, a central cultural expression for health and also a place for families to socialize. FAHS organizes events such as the Tori Open Air Market\, FinnFunn Weekend\, an annual Finnish cooking demonstration\, and plays and concerts often with traditional accordion and fiddle folk music. The community celebrates Finnish holidays of Midsummer\, St. Urho’s Day\, Finnish Independence from Russia\, a Pikkujoulu Christmas party\, and a performance of the national epic poem the Kalevala.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception: Sisu and Creativity: Finnish Cultural Heritage in Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and special guests to join us for the Opening Reception for Sisu and Creativity: Finnish Cultural Heritage in Connecticut. \nThe Connecticut Museum of Culture and History is partnering with the Finnish American Heritage Society (FAHS) based in Canterbury CT to present art works\, images\, and documentation of the community’s history from the FAHS archives\, one of the largest Finnish collections in the country. Opening on March 21 and on view until May 6\, the exhibit will explore central characteristics of Finns in Connecticut – their agricultural cooperatives; the built environment including farms\, barns\, and community halls; the saunas constructed by every family as a social gathering place; the festivals celebrating important Finnish holidays; and the many artistic and musical traditions still practiced throughout the community. 2017 marks the centenary of Finland’s independence from Russia\, as well as the 30th anniversary of the founding of FAHS. The CT Cultural Heritage Arts Program at CMCH has collaborated with FAHS on several traditional arts apprenticeships teaching weaving\, sauna building\, woodcarving\, and birch bark weaving which will be highlighted in the exhibit. CMCH and FAHS will present a bus tour and culinary experience in eastern Connecticut on April 22. \nThe exhibit opening reception will take place at the CMCH on Friday March 24 from 5:30 – 7:00 pm and will feature speakers from the Finnish community\, along with Finnish folk music. \nPlease let us know if you are able to join us by March 17. Call (860) 236-5621 x238 or email rsvp@chs.org.
