Please join us for a marvelous Season Finale!

Our last performance of the series which takes place on Saturday June 1 at the Rosslyn Spectrum Theatre at Artisphere at 7:30 PM will feature the Three B’s, the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, three of the greatest composers very much tied by the same cultural thread. The concert features one of the favorite works by Bach, the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Also on the program, the Beethoven’s beautiful Piano Concerto No. 4 with one of our favorites, Carlos Cesar Rodriguez at the piano. We will be performing a special rescdoring of the work for piano and string quartet, big piano concerto presented in a more intimate arrangement. The final work on the program is the Piano Quintet by Johannes Brahms, a masterpiece full of emotional intensity and virtuosity. A fabulous way to end a season full of variety.

As always, the concert will be followed by a wine and cheese reception to which all are invited.

We look forward to seeing you!

Warmest regards,

Leo

Join Virginia Tech’s Metropolitan Institute (MI) and the Arlington Economic Development (AED) in welcoming back Sir Robert Harvey to Arlington, VA. Introduction from the Right Honorable Michael Moore, New Zealand Ambassador to the United States.

For the past 25 years Bob Harvey (still known affectionately as Mayor Bob) has infused the diverse dimensions of sustainability throughout his work as an elected official, international peace envoy, President of the New Zealand Labour Party, businessman, and most recently Chairman of the Auckland waterfront authority. A charismatic speaker and visionary thinker, Harvey came to sustainability through his strong personal and professional bond with the amazing landscape of Auckland’s west region. As a young leader of a local surf club at Karekare Beach, Harvey’s respect and reverence for Waitakere’s rugged coastline and temperate rainforest set the foundation for one of his first political activities — advocating for national legislation that permanently protects the Waitakere Rainforest and Ranges from encroaching suburban development. For Mayor Bob, Leadership through Landscape does not end with acts of conservation and preservation, but becomes a starting point for a dialogue with nature, understanding the landscape, listening to the landscape, and learning from the landscape in ways that reflect the values of New Zealand’s indigenous Maori culture. Building on these themes, Mayor Bob will offer his insights and observations on how sustainability leaders in the US can leverage their own landscapes to support their work in making sustainable communities.

MI and AED welcomes the Right Honorable Michael Moore, New Zealand Ambassador to the US, for introducing Mayor Bob; and commentators, Jay Fisette, Vice Chair, Arlington County Board and Susannah Drake, ASLA, AIA, Principal, delandstudio, New York City.

The full flier is available here. Please RSVP at http://sirrobertharveylecture.eventbrite.com/ by June 4th.

We’ll be exploring the magic of pairing chocolate with beer–why leave all the paring fun to wine?!
