Whatever courses you choose to take, you are bound to learn and expand your interests, pleasure and satisfaction. Personally, I experienced a ‘light bulb moment' in the Fine Arts and Craft Centre, which culminated in the publication of two books entitled Honourable Menschen. I met the most incredible people who planted the seed for this project which was a collection of tributes and interviews. Thanks to the Cummings Centre, I have reached fulfillment beyond my dreams. Make a plan to visit and take a tour with a staff member. You’ll be glad you did.

MART 333 June 5 THE SHOCK OF THE NEW MART 334 June 12 MUSICAL TALES OF LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY MART 335 Spain is an alluring land of passionate spirits, flamboyant dance rhythms, dazzling colours and an aura all its own, one slightly tinged with exoticism. It is a land celebrated in music not only by its many native composers like de Falla and Albeniz, but equally by foreigners: Bizet in Carmen, Ravel in Bolero, Rimsky-Korsakov in Capriccio espagnol and many others. Then there’s an enormous repertory of music for Spain’s national instrument, the guitar, and its indigenous form of operetta, the zarzuela. It all adds up to an enthralling two hours of music. Chamber music is one of the fastest-growing areas of interest today in audiences for classical music. This is music for a small number of musicians, each with his or her own part to play. Enjoy listening to, or watching on video, a duet by Bach, a trio by Mozart, a quartet by Dvorak, a quintet by Brahms, a sextet by Poulenc, a septet by Beethoven, an octet by Mendelssohn . . . and on we go! From Beethoven to Berio, new music has often shaken, stunned and bemused the first audiences to hear it. Discover some of the epochal works that began life amidst scathing criticism but which today are regarded as masterpieces. Listen to passages from Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony, Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, Strauss’s opera Salome and Stravinsky’s ballet score The Rite of Spring as if they were brand new. In addition, you will be challenged with a few additional works that might really surprise and shock modern ears. Maybe even yours! Let your imagination run wild with some of the fantastic and colourful tales that have been set to music. We’ll sample episodes from the Arabian Nights, Russian folklore, Norse mythology, German legends and Flemish fiction. Never a dull moment! Robert Markow’s musical career began as a horn player with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. He has taught music appreciation at McGill University and has written program notes for the Montreal Symphony, the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa as well as for events at New York’s Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Cummings Centre Art and Music Appreciation Diminutive in physical size but gigantic in stature and impact, Leonard Bernstein was unquestionably one of the most incredibly talented, popular and dynamic personalities in the entire history of music. In his 72 years he played the roles of conductor, composer, pianist, author, lecturer, philosopher and overall champion of music – and he played them all superbly well. Listen to some of his music written for film, for the Broadway stage and for the concert hall as well as observe him in action as a conductor, pianist and lecturer.

METHOD IS BACK! The M.E.L.T. Method is a simple self-treatment technique that reduces chronic pain and helps maintain a healthy active lifestyle. The M.E.L.T. technique reduces the effects of accumulated tension and stress caused by daily living. This “stuck stress” accumulates and causes dehydration in the connective tissue, which interferes with the nervous system’s ability to regulate itself and slows the body’s natural healing process. THE M.E.L.T. METHOD: “FOAM ROLLER” THE M.E.L.T. METHOD: “BALLS" M.E.L.T. uses a foam roller to stimulate the effects of hands-on bodywork. Learn techniques for the decompression of the lower back and neck, lengthening of the ribs as well as other movements for hips and shoulders. You will learn to stabilize the core part of your body as you move arms and legs in small controlled movements as you lie on the foam roller. You must be able to exercise on the floor. The Hand & Foot Treatment is an innovative self-treatment technique that can leave your whole body feeling better in just minutes. By stimulating the hands and feet, this easy-tolearn treatment can help you alleviate common hand and foot problems, as well as neck and back tension. Using specialized techniques and three small balls, M.E.L.T. rehydrates the connective tissue, rebalances the nervous system and restores space to compressed joints. Thursday, April 18 – May 9 10:15 – 11:15 a.m. $78 6 sessions (foam rollers provided at the Centre) Facilitator: Davida Shragge 10:15 – 11:15 a.m. $40 4 sessions (additional $20 for M.E.L.T. balls, payable to instructor) Facilitator: Davida Shragge Health & Fitness Workshops Registration required for all workshops.
