SUMMARY:Music in the Time of Benjamin Marshall (1874-1944)
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Marshall was born on the Southside of Chicago on May 5\,1874. A self-taught architect\, his elegant buildings include the Drake and Blackstone hotels\, the South Shore Country Club (now South Shore Cultural Center)\, the Edgewater Beach Hotel (now demolished)\, and luxury apartments on East Lake Shore Drive. But alongside his talent for design\, Marshall was also known for his colorful personality that attracted royalty\, writers\, artists and countless celebrities to his lavish parties. \nTo celebrate Marshall’s 150th birthday anniversary\, we’re re-creating the glamour and dazzle of the Jazz Age with a music program featuring Très Belle Soprano Trio accompanied by pianist Paul Dykstra. Operatic sopranos Marisa Buchheit\, Kimberly Jones\, and Kirsten Leslie enjoy successful solo careers that have taken them from Carnegie Hall to the Miss America stage to La Scala Opera House in Milan. \nA brief introduction by Jane Lepauw\, founder of the Benjamin Marshall Society\, will set the mood for this jazz-hot evening\, and a lighted birthday cake will add more fun to the celebration. \n  \nMembers and guests are welcome.\n5pm – Cash bar opens\n6pm – Dinner ($57 member / $62  non-member) \n$25 performance only \nReservations are required:\nreservations@cliff-chicago.org or call 312-922-8080 \nReservations are requested by May 6th.

SUMMARY:Music Lifts the Soul: A celebration of Augusta Read Thomas & Bernard Rands
DESCRIPTION:The respective work of major music artists Augusta Read Thomas and Bernard Rands is legendary. We are delighted to celebrate\, in one grand event\, each of these highly distinguished composers as Honorary members of the Club. \nA composer featured on a Grammy winning CD by Chanticleer\, a Pulitzer Prize finalist\, and University of Chicago University Professor of Composition\, Augusta Read Thomas’ impressive body of works “embodies unbridled passion and fierce poetry” (American Academy of Arts and Letters) \nThrough more than a hundred published works and many recordings\, Bernard Rands is established as a major figure in contemporary music. Among other things\, his works have won the Pulitzer Prize in Music (1984) and the 1986 Kennedy Center Friedheim Award (1986.) \nAt this event\, music will fill the room. A performance by John Corkill (percussion) will bring to life ENCHANTED INVOCATION by Augusta Read Thomas. And\, just as enthralling\, Phil Pierick (saxophone) will perform Memo 6 by Bernard Rands. \nBut\, there’s more. Bernard Rands will charm us with a talk on “Contemporary Virtuosity.” And Augusta Read Thomas will passionately speak on “Gestalt Webs.” \nWe will enjoy a fine dinner and wine will be poured for a special “Zivio” greeting and toast. There will be a few surprises too! \n  \nMembers and guests are welcome.\n5pm – Cash bar opens\n6pm – Dinner ($60 pp) \nReservations are required:\nreservations@cliff-chicago.org or call 312-922-8080 \nReservations are requested by October 17.
