Bay Chamber Concerts

Welcome to the completion of our 50th year celebration at Bay Chamber Concerts. 2011 offers some of our most exciting programs ever – and all because of you. Over the years, we have learned how discerning you are. You are also willing to tell us what you like! So this summer in particular, we have put together many programs you asked for.

It all begins with opening night. One of you told us about a magnificent concert you heard in Europe featuring violinist Shmuel Ashkenasi and pianist Menahem Pressler. Though both have performed at Bay Chamber Concerts, they have never done so together. How fortunate that we could convince them to open our season (on the first FRIDAY in July).

We also heard how much you liked the third venue we added last year. We are still offering many popular programs in the Rockport Opera House and the Strand Theatre. But this summer we are devoting three evenings to intimate programs at the Farnsworth Art Museum’s Wyeth Center. The two-unique-concert format will allow you to choose between one hour long concert or both concerts (with time for dinner in between).

The St. Lawrence String Quartet will be back and this year after a season of touring to the four corners of the world. We are also thrilled to present Time for Three in a debut performance. You asked for this ground-breaking, category-shattering trio that will perform both in their own concert and in a program with the popular Curtis on Tour group. We will also offer other programs you requested – Chaplin’s film “The Kid” with the original film score played live; the Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ensemble; and of course, our First Chair All Star concerts to end the season.

We strongly encourage you to consider a Passport to all the concerts (at a very substantial savings) or a subscription. Both have liberal exchange policies and an opportunity to get the best seats in the house! And don’t forget our Gala – always a fun way to support Bay Chamber Community Music School. I look forward to seeing you at the concerts.

HOLIDAY SHOPPERS on Water Street in l932had a brand new store to shop! That year, the S.S.Kresge five and dime store opened in a modernArt Deco building unique in downtown Augusta.The new building replaced an Italianate blockbuilding that once housed the Dirigo BusinessSchool, which operated at various sites in Augustafrom 1867 to 2003. The new store featured 4,500square feet of floor space, mahogany counters,and a modern soda fountain. Three large displaywindows with pink granite bases and ornate cop-per moldings were a striking feature of the façade.In 1978, Richard Cummings purchased the build-ing and moved his Hallmark Store, named for hisdaughter Stacy, to the site. In 2007 the façade andits decorative copper were restored to their ArtDeco flair.

LES CHALANDS DE NOËL eurent un tout nou-veau magasin où faire leurs achats en 1932! Cetteannée-là, le grand magasin bon marché S.S. Kres-ge ouvrit ses portes dans un bâtiment Art Décounique au centre ville d’Augusta. Le nouveau bâ-timent remplaçait un bâtiment de style italianisantqui occupait tout un bloc et abritait l’École deCommerce Dirigo, qui possédait plusieurs sites àAugusta de 1867 à 2003. Le nouveau magasins’étalait sur 500 mètre carrés et possédait descomptoirs en acajou et une buvette moderne.Trois énormes vitrines posées sur des bases engranit rose et entourées de superbes moulures encuivre rehaussaient la façade. En 1978, RichardCummings acheta le bâtiment et y mit son maga-sin Hallmark, à qui il donna le nom de sa filleStacy. En 2007 la façade et le cuivre furent restau-rés pour retrouver leur élégance Art Déco.25 A NEW LOOK FOR WATER STREET
