program features SU faculty
On Saturday
evening, November 1, Drs. Elizabeth and Glenn Caluda will offer a
program of beautiful music featuring compositions for piano and
guitar at Grace Episcopal Chapel on North Church Street in
Berryville. The Chapel’s size and acoustics for such a program are

Their

twentieth century, including pieces composed especially for them.
They will comment about the composers, the historic period
represented, the style of the works, performance practices, and the
history and development of the piano and the guitar. Glenn will
demonstrate the evolution of the guitar by playing on a variety of
period instruments.

"World Class Blues - Boyce,
VA"
On Saturday
July 19th the award-winning Blues team of Paul
Rishell and Annie Raines will present “The Long Road Home”, a
program of regional blues styles including the Mississippi
Delta, the Piedmont Triangle, and others.
“Listen to the simmering joy these two bring to the blues and
you can almost see the mystical line that separates the timeless
from the merely old. They clearly adore the vintage charms of
early blues masters like Charley Patton, Ma Rainey, and Blind
Lemon Jefferson, but there is nothing archival about the sweet
muscle and urban sass they bring to their arrangements. Rishell
is a wonderfully convincing singer - and such a hot guitarist
that he taught both Susan Tedeschi and Michael Tarbox. Raines
plays the harmonica like she was born with one in her mouth. On
their undulating whoop of a new album, "Goin' Home," they wear
classic blues tunes like a second skin, and their own songs feel
right at home beside them.” Boston Globe, October 4, 2007.
The program, sponsored by the Roots of American Music Series as
a benefit for the Barns of Rose Hill, will take place on
Saturday July 19 at 7:30 PM in the Powhatan School Auditorium,
Boyce, Va. Admission is $20.00. For reservations, more
information, or directions please call: 540-955-4001.
The
Roots of American Music Series is
sponsored by
Berryville Main Street, with funding assistance provided by
Marion Park Lewis Foundation- Virginia Foundation for the
Humanities - National Endowment for the Arts.
Proceeds will go to “raise the barns” & restore two dairy barns
in downtown Berryville as a community & cultural arts center.

The
Barns of Rose Hill and Blue Ridge Hospice Community Program:
"Intimate Journeys – Guide to Care Giving in the
Final Months of Life"
Hospice educator,
author and speaker, Betsy Murphy, FNP, CHPN, will be the
presenter for a half-day program on end-of-life care on Friday,
June 6, at Grace Episcopal Church in Berryville. The event will
focus on caring for individuals in the final months of life from
the perspective of the caregiver. The program will be of
interest to the general public, clergy, as well as healthcare
and health-related professionals.
Sponsored by The Barns of Rose Hill and Blue Ridge Hospice, the
event represents a collaborative effort between the two
organizations to benefit the community. A variety of
sponsorships are available for individuals and businesses
wishing to support the program. Contact Diana Kincannon at
540-955-7093 for additional information. Continuing Education
Units (CEUs) will be offered for healthcare professionals.
Lending
support to help underwrite the program to date are: Hazen
Wilson/J. Douglas Moler Insurance Agency, Roseville Veterinary
Clinic, Annandale Millwork, Veramar Vineyards, Carter +Burton
Architecture, Diamond Auto Spa, Shenandoah Sand, Omega Drywall,
Ltd., and Foreman Builders.
Refreshments and registration begin at 8:30 a.m. The program

includes all program materials and a copy of the speaker's book
on end-of-life care. The agenda will also include a brief
presentation by Blue Ridge Hospice on the value of music and pet
therapy in patient care.
A resident of the Middleburg area, Betsy Murphy has worked in
hospice care for 23 years in the Washington metropolitan area.
Trained as a family nurse practitioner and certified as a
hospice and palliative care nurse, she found the field of
hospice work of great interest and has devoted her career to
improving end-of-life care for patients and their families. In
recent years, Murphy's focus shifted from hands-on nursing to an
educator's role, teaching nurses, social workers, and the
general public, to more effectively work with patients.
Widely published in nursing journals and a frequent speaker on
hospice care, Murphy was prompted to write her own book,
Guide to Caregiving in the Final Months of Life, after
watching caregivers struggle to understand how to serve as an
advocate for their loved ones.
In 1993, Murphy was honored as an Outstanding Woman in Medicine
by the Loudoun Board of Supervisors. She was again recognized in
1997 and 2003 as an Outstanding Woman of Loudoun.

For More Information:

The Barns of
Rose Hill to Host Public Screenings of Documentary
on Desegregation in the Shenandoah Valley
The mission of the Barns of
Rose Hill is to create a community and cultural arts center in
Clarke County. They are well on their way to breaking ground
to restore the barns in downtown Berryville, but they continue
their dedication of service to our citizens even before they
have a roof over their heads! Just such an event will be
offered to the public, free of charge, in honor of Dr. Martin
Luther King's birthday, "Wit, Will and Walls: The Betty Kilby
Fisher Story", a short documentary film produced by Shenandoah
University Television, will be shown at The Josephine School
Museum, 303 Josephine St. Berryville, Va. on Monday January 21st
at 7:00 PM.
In addition to the showing at The Josephine School Museum, the
films will also be shown on Thursday January 24th at Johnson
Williams Middle School, and at the Clarke County High School for
Clark Hansbarger's Cultural Diversity class and club. Due to
limited space, only the screening at 10:00 AM at the middle
school will be open to the public. Please contact the Johnson
Williams Middle School at 540-955-6160 for details.
The film was produced by filmmaker Paulette Moore of Berryville
with a grant from the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities.
The documentary, featuring scholars from across the country,
including Dr. Warren Hofstra, Stewart Bell Professor of History
at Shenandoah University, examines the life of Shenandoah
University alumna Betty Kilby Fisher, who was just 13 years old
when she was a plaintiff in a 1958 case to desegregate Warren
County (Va.) Schools. The activism that her family embraced and
the subsequent violence they endured for their beliefs shaped
Kilby Fisher's life and the lives of those around her. Ray
Crawford, a local poet and doctoral candidate in political
science at Howard University, performs original, poignant poetry
throughout the film.
A companion film called "In My Grandmother's Footsteps" will
also be presented at each of the screening events. Produced by
Shenandoah University student filmmakers, Kevin and Nick
Matheson and Cody and Hallie Penwell, the work features
16-year-old Tanesia Fisher, Kilby Fisher’s granddaughter who
portrays her grandmother in dramatic scenes in “Wit, Will and
Walls.”
Betty Kilby Fisher, filmmaker Paulette Moore and SU student
filmmakers will be at each location for the film and discussion.
“These films present an opportunity to honor the spirit of Dr.
King by helping to facilitate public reflection on the issues of
race and class that still divide our communities,” Moore said.
For more information on the screenings please contact Janet
Eltinge at 540-837-9969. |
