SUMMARY:Classical Guitar by Jeffery Bianchi
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday\, October 4th\, for an afternoon of classical melodies by guitarist Jeffery Bianchi. \nA native of Williamson\, New York\, Bianchi has devoted his artistic and intellectual career to the study and practice of music\, earning recognition for his expressive virtuosity and captivating interpretations of the classical guitar repertoire. At an early age and throughout his teenage years\, Bianchi performed classical guitar at various weddings and cafes\, experiences that enabled him to refine his skills. He was soon found performing concerts across Western New York\, which eventually led to his appearances at prestigious guitar festivals\, including the nationally-recognized Ithaca Guitar Festival as well as the Rantucci International Guitar Festival. \nBianchi began his solo career in 2009\, touring throughout Georgia and performing in places such as Savannah\, Tybee Island\, Toccoa\, Richmond\, Duluth\, and Hartwell. By February of 2010\, Bianchi undertook his first large-scale solo tour\, giving concerts for an array of audiences in Georgia\, Mississippi\, Louisiana and Texas with overwhelming success. Building on this momentum\, Bianchi continued his musical series in 2011 with performances throughout the Southeast\, including in Kentucky\, Tennessee\, Georgia\, Alabama\, South Carolina\, Mississippi\, Louisiana and Florida. Since the concert seasons of 2012 and 2013\, he continues to expand his performances in the United States westward\, giving concerts to those in states like Ohio\, Colorado\, Wyoming\, and Idaho. \nBianchi studied at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Fredonia under James Piorkowski\, a SUNY Distinguished Professor Emeritus who served as head of the guitar program from 1983 until 2024. Piorkowski’s live performances and recitals have been heard in Spain\, France\, Germany\, the Czech Republic\, Hungary\, Slovakia\, Slovenia\, Puerto Rico\, Venezuela\, Jamaica\, Canada\, and throughout the United States. From 1982-2000\, Piorkowski was a member of the internationally acclaimed Buffalo Guitar Quartet. \nBianchi offers private classical guitar and music theory lessons to those of all ages through his online classroom. To inquire about these opportunities\, please contact Bianchi by email at: jeffreybianchi@yahoo.com \nComplimentary refreshments will be provided. \nAdmission is free and/or by donation.\n\nYour donation helps support the arts within Northern Maine\, and contributes to the Musée’s mission of restoring and caring for a nationally significant heritage site\, ensuring the longevity of its exceptional collection\, the execution of its brilliant exhibitions\, and the development of educational and community programs that aim to foster and safeguard Acadian culture of the Saint John Valley.

SUMMARY:Concert by Folk Duo Travis Cyr and Laura Bagley

Cyr’s music and acoustic guitar work blends cerebral\, Americana balladry and spacey folk tunes with poetic lyrics\, resulting in an oeuvre whose character is lively yet gentle\, vastly expansive yet intensely vivid. Cyr describes his work as\, “Hypnotizing Psych Folk – kinda like John Prine from Outer Space!” \nLaura Bagley joined Cyr a few years ago and have together formed the duet\, 40 Thieves. Bagley’s expansive\, ethereal vocals produce sounds of immense strength and magnitude\, yet remain vivid and wholeheartedly warm. Bagley’s brilliant vocals accompanied with Cyr’s strings produces vibrant musical moments\, unexpected notes and rhythmic harmonies. \nCyr is the founder of the Arootsakoostic Music Festival\, held annually in the summer at Thomas Park in Aroostook County’s Swedish Colony\, and is the editor of a book of short stories currently in the works. Earlier in August of this year\, Cyr and Bagley executed the second installment of the new music festival held in New Sweden\, entitled “Coddiwomple\,” which brought folk and roots artists from across Maine to Aroostook County to celebrate community through music and art while building on the live-music tradition Arootsakoostic has been known for. \nLearn more about the work of Cyr and Bagley by visiting the former’s website: www.traviscyr.com \nAdmission is free and/or by donation.\n \n\nYour donation helps support the arts within Northern Maine\, and contributes to the Musée’s mission of restoring and caring for a nationally significant heritage site\, ensuring the longevity of its exceptional collection\, the execution of its brilliant exhibitions\, and the development of educational and community programs that aim to foster and safeguard the Acadian\, French-Canadian\, and wider Franco-American culture of the Saint John Valley.

SUMMARY:Local Author Spotlight: Reading and Conversation with Kate Angevin
DESCRIPTION:The Musée is delighted to welcome author\, playwrite\, and literary scholar Kate Angevin to its campus! Join us Saturday\, October 24th\, from 2 to 4 pm as Angevin offers a special reading of her latest novel\, Beyond the Dry Stone Wall. \nA work of literary fiction\, Angevin’s novel explores the world of Kenan Trewellyn\, a professor at Cambridge University\, who travels to his family’s estate for a few days to escape the guilt in having acted unfairly toward a student. But while at home\, Trewellyn encounters old family wounds that lead him down a road of existential questioning. Though Angevin expresses how the complex themes and deep characters explored in the novel closely mirrored her own experiences at Cambridge\, the matters of educational injustice\, hidden memory\, and legacies of intergenerational troubles and disconnect profoundly resonate with the experiences historically of the Saint John Valley’s French families. Angevin informs that “in all of my writing\, [my intention] is to find a pathway inside a character that leads to their inner truth and then to express that which has been kept hidden. Much like Angevin\, it is too the work of the Musée to understand and reveal that which has been kept hidden or otherwise deeply embedded within the human fabric\, particularly of the Saint John Valley – to appreciate and bring to the fore the stores and intimacies marked in the memory of Maine’s northern borderland. \nA Q&A will follow Angevin’s reading\, allowing the audience the opportunity to gain insight into her creative process\, her inspirations\, and to even chat with her on navigating the business of publishing. Come learn about a local author\, purchase a signed copy of her book\, and become inspired for your own writing journey! \nComplimentary refreshments will be provided. \nAbout the Author\nKate Angevin was born and raised in San Francisco\, California\, and relocated to Caribou in Northern Maine a year prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Angevin is a well-established scholar and writer in the discipline of Historical Linguistics\, and boasts an impressive academic background. She first earned her B.A. in Cinema Production at the University of Southern California Film School\, during which she understood the lack of Indy film distributors\, incentivizing her to specialize in playwriting more so than screenwriting. She wrote and directed a short film which won the Special Judges Award at the San Francisco State College International Poetry/Film Festival. She also had 22 short stories published in the U.S. and U.K.\, four of which were nominated for the Pushcart Prize for Fiction. She also wrote five plays which were all performed and read across both the U.S. as well as South Africa. Stemming from these experiences\, Angevin went on to earn her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College in New York. \nEventually\, Angevin became inclined to pursue her special interests in the Bronze Age\, particularly those that concerned the decipherment of the Minoan Bronze Age writing system of Crete\, coined as Linear A\, a subject of which remained a compelling interest of hers since childhood. Following her acceptance into the Historical Linguistics program at Cambridge University\, Angevin was invited to work and study with leading figures on the subject at both Cambridge and Oxford. Angevin remained at Cambridge for four years working on Linear A and studying for a 3-part customized B.A. in Archaeology\, Ancient History\, and Historical Linguistics\, particularly in Vedic and Classical Sanskrit. \nAngevin was subsequently accepted to the University of Pennsylvania where she earned her M.A. from a joint collaboration between the departments of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and Archaeology. Like her B.A. from Cambridge\, her M.A. was a 3-part customized tract\, with a particular focus in the Archeology of South Asia\, Ancient History of South Asia\, and Ancient Indo-Iranian Linguistics. At UPenn\, Angevin was asked to apply her Linear A expertise on the undeciphered script from South Asia\, the Indus Valley Script. She was then accepted into an advanced research institute at the Sorbonne in Paris\, l’École Pratique des Hautes Ètudes (LEPHE)\, where she worked toward a PhD on the Indus Valley Script\, producing a 1900-page dissertation and from which she published several articles across various journals. \nWriting novels has been a recent endeavor of Angevin. Following Beyond the Dry Stone Wall\, Angevin’s The Art of Loneliness has also now available for online purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Soon\, her Seas of the Moon will too be made available. \nAdmission is free and/or by donation. \nYour donation helps support the arts within Northern Maine\, and contributes to the Musée’s mission of restoring and caring for a nationally significant heritage site\, ensuring the longevity of its exceptional collection\, the execution of its brilliant exhibitions\, and the development of educational and community programs that aim to foster and safeguard Acadian culture of the Saint John Valley.
