As part of Project Eagle\, Polish soldiers were recruited and trained to go behind the lines of the Third Reich. Project Eagle tells this fascinating World War II story of intelligence and espionage that until now has been hidden away in the archives of the OSS. Professor Micgiel will tell us more about this history and his research on this special visit to Holyoke on September 9. Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room.  Info: (413) 420-8107 \nJohn S. Micgiel was born and raised in Holyoke.  His academic career led him to serve as director of the Institute on East Central Europe\, associate director of the Harriman Institute\, executive director of the Institute for the Study of Europe\, and adjunct professor of international and public affairs—all at Columbia University. He is past president of the Kosciuszko Foundation\, which promotes cultural exchange between the United States and Poland. In 2011 he received the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland\, an award honoring service to the Polish-American community. Now retired from Columbia University\, Micgiel teaches at the University of Warsaw and makes his home in Connecticut.

This fall\, we invite guests to participate in our Legacy Seminar Series to learn more about events\, exhibits and structures which have impacted the building\, the community and the arts. \nJoin us on September 10th with guest artist\, Barry Moser as he discusses illustration\, wood engraving\, printing\, andhis work through his eyes as a working artist. As a professor of art and an illustrator with a portfolio of over 300 titles\, Moser’s vast experience in printing\, painting\, printmaking\, designing\, writing\, essay writing\, and teaching offers a deep understanding of the dedication required for visual artwork. In conversation with Wistariahurst curator\, Penni Martorell guests will be welcome to reflect and ask questions about the creative processes involved in Moser’s complex illustrations. In 1977\, 1982 and 1984 Moser exhibited his wood engraving work at Wistariahurst highlighting his prints for Alice through the Looking Glass and What She Found There\, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Now\, nearly fifty years later we are happy to welcome him back to reflect on his work. \nWhether you are a long-time resident or a newcomer eager to learn more about the place you now call home\, these seminars provide a perfect opportunity to connect with the past and understand how it influences our present and future. Most importantly\, our Legacy Seminar Series is free and open to the public during event hours so that all can explore\, discover\, and engage with these unique topics.

This fall\, we invite guests to participate in our Legacy Seminar Series to learn more about events\, exhibits and structures which have impacted the building\, the community and the arts. \nOn September 17th\, Elizabeth Sharpe\, the author of “In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Flood of 1874\,” will discuss the the flood of 1874 and the events that led up to that tragic event. The incident claimed 139 lives and wiped out four mill villages in the area and marked the first significant dam failure in the United States. The aftermath saw William Skinner relocating his silk factory to Holyoke\, while the affected villages began the process of rebuilding. Sharpe will delve into the disaster’s impact\, the challenges faced in the aftermath\, the investigation to determine accountability\, and the pursuit of compensation. \nWhether you are a long-time resident or a newcomer eager to learn more about the place you now call home\, these seminars provide a perfect opportunity to connect with the past and understand how it influences our present and future. Most importantly\, our Legacy Seminar Series is free and open to the public during event hours so that all can explore\, discover\, and engage with these unique topics.

He is offering this recital free of charge as a musical tour of northern Europe. \nA fire in his home destroyed the majority of the musical compositions by Marcel Lanquetuit\, principal organist of the Rouen Cathedral’s mighty Cavaille-Coll organ. Though no fire alarm will be set off at this concert\, nonetheless the grand and inspiring Toccata in D Major will call your attention to a colorful program. The tour begins in Normandy\, Northern France\, and you are invited to travel\, or rather go on pilgrimage\, to Leipzig\, Germany\, to pay homage to the great J. S. Bach with his grandiose Prelude and Fugue in D Major as well as the Fantasy and Fugue in in g minor. Continuing our trip\, you will visit Marco Enrico Bossi at the Como Cathedral in Northern Italy and listen to the magical and mysterious Scherzo in g minor. Rejuvenated\, we will arrive in Paris\, France\, to hear Eugene Gigout’s sparkling Toccata and his profound Grand Choeur Dialogue. After a brief excursion to Belgium for Joseph Jongen’s famous Toccata\, we will return to Paris to revel in Louis Vierne’s Final from his 6th Symphony. On the wings of this piece\, you may reach the tip of the Eiffel Tower. Klaus will play this program centering on the Romantic Period on the E.M. Skinner Opus 179 organ. This will be a memorable afternoon well worth attending! \nFree will donation received to benefit Holyoke food pantry.
