SUMMARY:Kimberly Wilson's "A Journey"
DESCRIPTION:“A Journey” \nSaturday\, August 14\, 2021\n(originally scheduled Sunday\, July  18\, 2021)\n1:00 – 2:00 pm \nFREE and open to the public! Made possible by a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Middlesex County. \nA JOURNEY by Kimberly Wilson is an intricate look at the Black experience told through the eyes of the Black woman and performed by one woman\, professional actress and singer Kimberly Wilson. Westport resident\, Ms. Wilson skillfully tells of the struggles and influence of Black womanhood with courage\, dignity\, faith\, hope\, and strength in perfect lockstep with the history of the United States. Eight women\, eight pivotal generations\, present to you their stories through song\, movement and dialogue and how ultimately their faith\, hope\, and calling help shape the America we know today. Joyful celebrations and painful reflections are rendered artistically to tell a story of persistence and courage and how our Black womanhood\, not always intricately woven into the tapestry of American history\, is another thread that weaves together the fabric of America’s History. Included in this journey are historical reflections from a Native African Queen\, a Slave Woman\, Harriet Tubman\, Sojourner Truth\, Haggar Tonquin\, Rosa Parks\, Maya Angelou\, and more. \nOriginally from Minneapolis\, Kimberly first pursued theater while in high school\, studying and performing at The Minneapolis Children’s Theatre. Kimberly was also a founding acting company member of Mixed Blood Theater in Minneapolis. After studying theater at Howard University\, Kimberly returned home and continued her acting career performing in plays and television commercials. She has performed with many theater companies including\, the Shoestring Playhouse\, At the Foot of the Mountain\, Brass Tacks Theater\, Park Square\, Theatre in the Round\, Illusion Theater\, Minnesota Festival Theater\, Penumbra Theater\, Collective Consciousness Theater\, New Haven Theater Company and The Theatre Artists Workshop in Norwalk. For the past seven years\, Kimberly Wilson has been touring her original musical one-woman show A Journey locally and nationally in theaters\, schools\, libraries\, historical societies\, places of worship and other community organizations. She continues to schedule bookings throughout the year. This highly acclaimed performance brings to life seven historical African-American women\, including an African Queen\, Harriet Tubman\, Sojourner Truth\, Rosa Parks\, Maya Angelou\, and more. Through soulful singing\, character transformations\, joyous celebrations and painful reflections\, Ms. Wilson takes the audience on a powerful Journey of courage\, persistence\, hope\, faith\, and love. Kimberly Wilson was last seen in the Greenwich Theatre Company production of 7 Easy Pieces by Jack Rushton\, November 2019. \nA Journey is presented as part of Brief Cameo Productions and Ivoryton Playhouse’s ElementNext Series\, part of the On-Site/Off-Site Summer Series. This new series of programming focuses on new and unique small-scale performances\, shining a light on local artists in collaboration with BCP and Ivoryton Playhouse to engage with area spaces\, both traditional and unconventional. Curated by BCP Resident Music Director Jill Brunelle. \nImage Credit: TheWilsonProductions.com \n \nIvoryton Playhouse\nOne of the oldest\, if not the first\, self-supporting summer theaters in the nation\, The Ivoryton Playhouse\, under the leadership of Executive Director Jacqueline Hubbard\, now produces March through December\, offering plays\, musicals\, cabaret performances\, and events for children. This 250-seat jewel box of a theater sits on the corner of Main Street and Summit Street in Ivoryton. \n \nBrief Cameo Productions\nFounded in 2019\, Brief Cameo Productions produces high-quality concert stagings of works of Musical Theater\, showcasing superior local and regional talent\, and offers audiences artistic and cultural enrichment through live performance.

Led by guitarist/frontman\, John “Spigs” Spignesi\, this band has been steadily making a name for themselves in the East Coast jam scene since their formation in January 2015. \n“What’s on the setlist tonight?” many fans tend to ask. The answer is you\, the audience\, and the vibe at the venue. Together we can guide the journey and the energy of the show. It’s about that shared experience. JSB has never used setlists\, often sculpting shows on the fly\, with rockers\, ballads\, & sing-a-longs. A truly diverse musical ensemble who doesn’t believe limiting themselves to genres\, JSB performs a wide variety of original tunes while adding in covers that they truly make their own. \nJSB has shared the stage with national-touring acts such as Max Creek\, Zach Deputy\, Kung Fu\, The Funky Dawgz Brass Band\, and more. On the road and on the stage\, the band’s motto has become “No Reverse” inspiring them to always be hungry for more. \nIn case of inclement weather\, please check our site.

SUMMARY:Shanties & Sails: June 22 - The Johnson Girls
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED DUE TO IMPENDING RAIN TODAY. DATE TO BE DETERMINED.  \nShanties & Sails: June 22 – The Johnson Girls\nTuesday\, June 22\, 2021\n5:30-6:30 Shanties:  FREE\n7:00-8:00 Onrust:  $25. Sail aboard the Onrust with the performers! \nA big Thank You shout out to our Shanties & Sails sponsor Privé Swiss Wellness for their generous support! \nWe are limiting seating aboard the Onrust to ensure you all have safe distancing. \nInformation regarding Onrust Sails will come as we get closer to the date to ensure compliance with the State of CT. \nShanties & Sails are back! Come down and enjoy an evening of Sea Shanties. 🎼 You want to be on the deck to hear talented shanty and sea-song musicians for a FREE one hour live performance. Add onto your evening to continue the fun.  Book a trip on the Onrust! Seating on board the Onrust is limited for this one-of-a-kind event. \nPURCHASE TICKETS  \n  \n\nONRUST\nOnrust is a re-creation of the vessel Adriaen Block built in 1614.  She is available for public cruises as well as private charters.  Built over several years in upstate New York using traditional plans and means\, the Onrust is a wholly unique ship that serves to educate and entertain visitors curious about the age of exploration\, the fur trade\, and our early colonial history. \nThe Johnson Girls \nThe Johnson Girls have been a force on the folk and maritime music scene for over two decades as the leading all-woman\, a cappella maritime group in the world. Believing that sea chanteys and songs of the sea were the first real “World Music”\, Joy Bennett\, Alison Kelley\, Bonnie Milner\, and Deirdre Murtha each bring a special influence to the group. Whether performing at packed international folk festivals\, intimate venues\, workshops\, or presenting school or library programs\, The Johnson Girls remain true to their mission of keeping chantey singing and its history alive\, bringing women’s voices to the fore\, and encouraging everyone to join in the revelry. Widely acclaimed for their powerhouse performances of rousing work songs\, sensitive renderings of haunting ballads and laments\, and hair-raising harmonies\, they sweep their audiences along in a tidal fervor. “The Johnson Girls\, chantey singers from America\, took the place by storm…  Those who thought a chantey singer had to be male\, bearded\, and with a beer gut\, needed to think again.”  – Cornwall Guardian (UK) \nSea music may well have been the first “world music.”  Ships were often melting pots\, with crew-members from many countries\, and who were heavily influenced by the music they heard while traveling around the world and from other crew members.  These sailors incorporated into their work songs and other shipboard music the different rhythms and styles from their own often diverse cultures as well as those they encountered during their voyages.  Each of The Johnson Girls was captivated by this music at different times in their lives\, and came together in 1997 following the Mystic Seaport Sea Music festival to burst through the barrier of this previously male dominated genre. \nEach of The Johnson Girls brings a specialty and style to the ensemble.  Their extensive repertoire includes songs with an Afro-Caribbean influence\, of the inland waterways\, of fishing\, mining\, Irish\, Anglo-American\, Italian\, French\, and Canadian ballads and work songs\, and much more.  The Johnson Girls bring a unique interpretation to their repertoire while preserving the traditional roots of their music. \nIn addition to powerful main stage performances\, The Johnson Girls have led participatory workshops and demonstrations during festivals and folk weeks/weekends on many topics including but by no means limited to:  women and the sea\, contemporary sea songs\, harmony\, sea chanteys 101\, work songs: old and new\, fishing: then and now\, Afro-Caribbean songs\, ballads\, song collecting\, landsmen\, sailors and ladies\, and more. \nThe Johnson Girls have 4 CDs including the most recent “On Deck & Below”\, “The Johnson Girls”\, “On the Rocks”\, and “Fire Down Below” have received rave reviews in the US and UK in Dirty Linen\, Sing Out\, Traditional Music Maker and Living Tradition magazines\, The Cornwall Guardian\, International Chantey Magazine\, and the Folk Music Society of NY newsletter. \n  \n\n \n  \nPhotos:\nThe Johnson Girls\, by: David Zeleznik Photography\nOnrust Deck\, by: J Raunikar – CT River Museum

SUMMARY:Dueling Demos with Howard Park and Lisa Miceli
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 17\, 2021\n5:00 pm\nFREE Program\, Registration Required.\nOn the Lawn at the Connecticut River Museum \n(Rain Date: June 24) \nDueling Demos is an entertaining and fast-paced demonstration of how two artists view the same scene and paint it with two different mediums\, oil paint and watercolor. While Howard and Lisa are painting\, they explain their painting process and use of color\, all the while engaging the audience in friendly conversation. \nWhile many activities were curtailed during the last year due to COVID\, Howard Park and Lisa Miceli have continued to paint plein air and to teach their Oil and Water workshops throughout the area in most weather conditions\, and to paint with the Noank 9\, a plein air group Howard founded a decade ago. These workshops are unique in offering students the opportunity to learn both oil painting and watercolor outdoors and socially distanced\, and to watch painting demos of the same scene by two instructors simultaneously. Howard and Lisa teach plein air Oil and Water workshops regionally\, and at the Mystic Museum of Art\, the Lyme Art Association and on Fisher’s Island. Howard and Lisa show their work at Lyme Art Association and the New England Watercolor Society at the Plymouth Center for the Arts\, and other virtual shows including Mystic Museum of Art. \nIn addition to teaching and painting\, Howard and Lisa provide art restoration for many people who\, despite COVID\, want to maintain their collections. They do cleaning\, restoration and repair of fine art and antique objects\, and this has been an important mainstay for their business during the pandemic. \nHoward is a signature member of ASMA and his love of marine painting grew during his 4-year circumnavigation of the globe on his own boat during which time he painted in all the locations he sailed. He was recently featured in a full-length video on landscape painting for the international series “Put Colour in Your Life.” His work has been featured in shows and galleries throughout the world. \nLisa was winner of the 2020 J.M.W. Turner Watercolor Competition at the Mystic Seaport Museum and her work “New London Harbor Light” hung adjacent to the Turner exhibit in the Thompson Exhibition Center. Her work has shown in the New England Watercolor Society North American Open Juried Exhibition in Plymouth\, MA\, the NEWs Instructors Show\, the Connecticut Plein Air Painters Society 2020 Juried Members Exhibition\, a solo watercolor Show at Studio 33 Gallery in New London\, CT\, and juried shows at Lyme Art Association in Old Lyme\, CT and at the Mystic Museum of Art in Mystic\, CT. \n  \n  \n  \nFeatured image: “Against the Breeze and Current” Howard Park\, Oil

Whether singing sailor songs with his quartet\, Forebitter; or environmental songs on board the Sloop Clearwater in the Hudson River; or in solo performances at coffeehouses throughout the Northeast United States and festivals in Europe\, Geoff has entertained and touched audiences near and far. \nSongs of the sea\, songs of the earth\, songs of the heart and the spirit—all of these are in Geoff Kaufman’s ditty bag. Ancient ballads\, work songs\, and songs of love; poignant songs of people in struggle\, humorous glimpses of human foibles\, and insights into history—all of these are likely to be woven into one of Geoff’s concerts. \nAbove all\, at the core of Geoff’s performance is his rich tenor voice and an exuberant love of singing. And part of that love is to entice audiences to sing along\, to share in the exhilaration of full-throated vocalization if they wish. In this age of electronic overload and passive media pabulum\, Geoff likes to stress the “live” in live performance\, promoting participation\, be it by voice or heart or mind. \n  \n\n \n  \nPhotos:\nGeoff Kaufman\, by: David Zeleznik Photography\nOnrust Deck\, by: J Raunikar – CT River Museum

SUMMARY:CRM Talks - Robert Kim Bingham - Courageous Dissent: How Harry Bingham Defied His Government to Save Lives
DESCRIPTION:CRM Talks – Robert Kim Bingham\, Retired Federal Attorney\, US Department of Justice and US Department of Homeland Security\nTuesday\, June 8\, 2021\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers $5.00\nNon-Members $10.00 \nPURCHASE TICKETS  \nRobert Kim Bingham\, Retired Federal Attorney\, US Department of Justice and US Department of Homeland Security \nCourageous Dissent: How Harry Bingham Defied His Government to Save Lives \nCourageous Dissent is the first book published about America’s unsung diplomat hero Hiram (Harry) Bingham IV\, the author’s father\, who was in charge of issuing visas to America and freedom while stationed as a US vice-consul in Marseilles\, France\, just before World War II. It captures Bingham’s compelling story of placing humanity above his career during the early days of the Holocaust. Bingham defied his government’s restrictive immigration policies by running an underground railroad out of his villa. Both Jewish and non-Jewish refugees fleeing Hitler sought life-saving visas from Bingham during 1940-41. The book also reveals Bingham’s private life after resigning from the Foreign Service in 1945 when he was passed over for promotions. It recounts the author’s campaign to obtain a U.S. commemorative stamp bearing his father’s image issued in 2006 depicting Bingham as a ‘Distinguished American Diplomat.’\, and his posthumous awarding of the ‘Constructive Dissent’ award on June 27\, 2002. \nRobert Kim Bingham\, Sr. retired as a federal attorney in July 2009 after serving 37 years in the General Counsels offices of the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He graduated from Groton School in 1960\, Yale University in 1965\, and Boston University School of Law in 1968. In 1998\, he launched a stamp campaign for his late father Hiram (“Harry”) Bingham IV\, which resulted in the unveiling of a U.S. postage stamp bearing his father’s image as a “Distinguished American Diplomat.”  His father was officially honored on Capitol Hill Washington on May 27\, 2006 for his role as a WWII rescuer in Marseilles\, France during 1940-1941. Kim has authored two books: “COURAGEOUS DISSENT:  How Harry Bingham Defied His Government to Save Lives;” and “BECOMING AN AMERICAN: The legal Process.” Kim and his wife Anne Carr Bingham live in Salem.  They have two children\, Alexandra and Robert Kim Bingham\, Jr.\, and five young-adult grandchildren.” \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this webinar\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience. By participating\, you agree to allow the recording to be posted on the Connecticut River Museum’s website\, Facebook page\, Instagram feed\, and other media.
