news from around the grounds

Briefly

Mark Opreastaff writer

Some had butterflies painted on their faces, oth-ers had disguises akin to a Chautauquan bat. One child was Charlie Chaplin — with-out the iconic bowler cap.

At 9 a.m. last Thursday at the Children’s school, the group of 5s, who were wear-ing their “incognito faces” and donning code names, were also visited by a very special guest.

when one child heard it was the president who was going to be reading a story, he lept up in excitement.

“George washington?” he said.

“No,” the teachers said in unison. “It’s President Beck-er, the president of Chautau-qua.”

Tom Becker, who sported a moose-tracks ice cream cone on his right cheek, brought along a copy of John Lith-gow’s best-selling Micawber to read to the children. The 5s, sitting criss-cross apple-sauce, listened attentively to Becker as he spoke of the ar-tistic accomplishments of the eponymous squirrel, who eventually gets his own mu-seum: Micawber’s Museum of Art.

Lithgow’s book allows kids new ways to visualize the colorful world around them, with the “gleamy” eyes of an artist like Micawber.

Becker ended his reading with a hint for the 5s.

“Now, make sure you’re looking outside for squir-rels with paint on their tail,” he said to the kids, who re-sponded with: “Yes, Presi-dent Becker.”

Teachers Carissa savage and John Denton, both with their own facial disguises, helped the kids in thanking Becker for taking his time for a reading.

Denton, a teacher at Chil-dren’s school, can often be seen and heard in the play-ground making dinosaur noises with two or three kids tugging on the end of his

T-shirt. He’s been teaching at the school since 2005 and said that he loves the effort-lessness it takes to delight and wow children.

“Kids love things that are incredibly simple,” he said. “especially when a big man in a jacket with an ice cream cone painted on his face walks in to the school.”

After Becker left, sav-

age, with a curly mustache painted above her lips, con-tinued the week’s theme of “I spy” by introducing the 5s to words key to future double agents, as to prepare them for the culmination of their training: a “secret” trip to the beach, which rightfully ended a week full of mystery and imagination.

According to Denise Fugo, who has coached numerous CEOs through the challenges of nurturing successful organizations and promoting job creation based on her experience in the restaurant industry, a family business means business.

“It takes a community to support a business,” she said.

At 1 p.m. today at the Women’s Club house, Fugo, who has raised three daughters, will speak about “Family, Food and Finance: One Woman’s Journey,” as part of the Chautauqua Professional Women’s Net-work series.

“I will be talking about women and families run-ning lasting businesses and creating jobs,” said Fugo.

For 20 years, Fugo co-owned Sammy’s in the Flats, an iconic Cleveland restaurant overlooking the Cuyahoga River, with her former husband. Sammy’s received the Distinguished Restaurants of North America Award and the Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence.

Upon deciding to focus on their growing cater-ing business, they closed their public restaurant in 2000 and began specializ-ing in banquet, concession and restaurant manage-ment. Using the Flats loca-tion as their headquarters, City Life — better known as Sammy’s — became a caterer at several Cleve-land and northeast Ohio

cultural, corporate and academic venues until its closure in August 2013.

Fugo, a graduate of Ohio University and the Uni-versity of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, had been Sammy’s chairperson and CEO since its inception in 1980. Sammy’s won four Connector’s Choice awards for catering between 2008 and 2011.

A member of the Na-tional Restaurant Asso-ciation since 1991, Fugo chaired the NRA in 2000. Thirteen years later, she served as the chair of the board of trustees of the NRA’s Educational Foun-dation.

During her talk, Fugo said she will also discuss several things that devel-oping CEOs need to pay attention to, including transition planning and red flags.

“Starting a business is one thing,” she said. “Keeping it running and selling it to the next owner who will care for it as much as you do is another.”

With its theme of “Con-struction,” Week Four at the Children’s School promises to make builders out of kids and helpers out of their par-ents.

The 3s will be starting small, crafting popsicle stick houses, painting com-mercial trucks and work-ing with egg carton mate-rial handed to them by their teacher “contractors.” They

will, as young drafters, be using tracing tools to design and eventually construct temple block buildings and, throughout all their work, find time to welcome the op-era on Wednesday.

The 4s, using marshmal-lows and spaghetti, will build what seems to be the yummiest city this side of the Institution. In the same vein as the 3s project, the 4’s will also be eco-friendly, re-cycling artists, using reused material to paint on their

construction-paper canvas-es. For literary inspiration, they will be reading Curious George and the Dump Truck as well as Little Digger.

Building with “every-thing” in the house, the 5s will be educated on how to be all-around constructors, using the whole lot of the play room. After readings from Christina Katerina & the Box, the 5’s will be tak-ing their devising skills out-doors for sandcastle building comparable to that on the

beaches of North Carolina. Also learning how to “build with nature,” the children will be, by the end of Week Four, ready to assist in any contracting job.

Along with construction week, the Children’s School with be having a parents-friendly open house on Thursday, in which they can join their kids in the daily ac-tivities.

Taking part in the con-struction is, however, up to them.

Gordon S. Wood, a fre-quent participant at Wil-liamsburg gatherings, will pursue this examination of the history of the American Revolution tomorrow morn-ing. Egypt’s experience over the past several years will be examined in the following days.

Campbell said the last three of this week’s morning lectures would be dedicated to a case study of Egypt’s current tumultuous social and political environment. That environment will be ex-amined from three different perspectives.

“There has been an evo-lution in Egypt during the past two years,” Campbell said. “When the long-term Mubarak regime was over-thrown and the Muslim Brotherhood won power in an election, change was ob-vious. But that change was not managed well. The cur-

rent military government’s displacement of the Muslim Brotherhood had wide po-litical acceptance when it oc-curred.”

Campbell believes two ex-treme governmental forms have been tested in Egypt over the past couple of years, revealing flaws in each.

“The search for an accept-able middle ground may take a long time,” he said.

In the United States, reach-ing that “middle ground” took almost two centuries, Campbell said.

“I’d say we probably weren’t able to truly achieve that middle ground until the passage of landmark civil rights legislation during the 1960s,” he said.

The organizational ap-proach to this week’s lectures springs from a fundamental Williamsburg approach to how history informs the citi-zenship agenda, Campbell said.

“In Williamsburg, we val-ue seeing together the past, present and future to try to

understand the course and significance of events,” he said. “For us, history has a crucial, contemporary rel-evance.”

Campbell has led the Co-lonial Williamsburg Founda-tion for 14 years, and his col-laboration with Chautauqua President Thomas M. Becker has led to a growing partner-ship between their two orga-nizations.

Campbell explained that there has been a growing number of synergistic proj-ects involving Chautauqua and Williamsburg in recent years. He said this week’s focus on global citizenship grew out of a conference

at Williamsburg about 15 months ago, where a number of key Egyptian political and religious figures — including representatives of the Mus-lim Brotherhood — gath-ered to try to make sense of a chaotic situation at home. Becker and Sherra Babcock, vice president and Emily and Richard Smucker Chair for Education, were also in attendance at the Williams-burg conference.

“Our Egyptian guests told us such a gathering would not have been possible in Egypt at that time,” Camp-bell said.

Campbell first spoke from the Amphitheater podium eight years ago and has been back for several visits since then.

“My collaboration with President Becker has grown stronger over the years,” Campbell said.

He said the degree and passion of public participa-tion in events in Chautauqua is “amazing and inspiring,” and he is excited to be re-turning to the Amphitheater podium. When he takes the stage today, Campbell will be awarded the prestigious Chautauqua President’s Med-al. It will be the first award-ing of the medal since 2009.

QUARTETfrom page 1

The quartet has existed within Chautauqua Insti-tution for more than 70 years and is usually made up of the principal players from each string section of the CSO.

This year’s group is composed of 20-year vet-eran violinist Vahn Arm-strong, principal second violinist Diane Bruce, vio-list Eva Stern and acting principal cellist Jolyon Pe-gis.

Today’s concert will be the first and last time that the quartet performs this summer. Armstrong, the unanimously appointed voice of the group, ex-plained that their CSO schedule makes it nearly impossible to consider more than the single show.

“We used to play twice in the summer, but it was just a killer,” he said. “It’s a little bit like Brigadoon, except instead of every 100 years we play every 12 months.”

When it comes to select-ing their annual concert program, the four sim-ply email back and forth, discussing their favorite scores and, eventually, reaching a consensus.

Generally, Armstrong said, the group tries to play some music each year that sits off the radar of the av-erage attendee. He revels in people approaching af-ter the show to say, “I’ve never heard that before in

my life, where on earth did you find it?”

This year though, Arm-strong said, the quartet is going “right down the mid-dle” of the chamber music highway with Dvořák’s String Quartet in E Flat Major and the fifth move-ment of Beethoven’s Op. 18.

“The interesting thing about it is that both of these composers, they’re both sort of asserting their personality a little bit in these pieces,” Armstrong said. “Dvořák in particular is beginning to move away from the Austrian tradition and asserting his Czech style. He’s not going to be ‘Anton.’ He’s going to be ‘Antonín.’ ”

The theme of musical evolution is continued in Beethoven’s Op. 18, the first six string quartets written by the classical legend.

“Beethoven was fas-cinated by the ‘variation form’ all through his life,” Armstrong said. “This is one of the first examples of him really exploring the depths of that possibility.”

At the end of the day though, the group is fo-cused on making their sole concert a memorable one for everyone who attends, even if they’ve heard these pieces before.

“It’s just so much mel-ody all over the place,” Armstrong said, “which is just a lot of fun to play and, I hope, a lot of fun to listen to. After all, there’s always next year.

“This is very great music — especially for this orches-tra to play because of the way it features the individ-ual sections of the orches-tra and the variety of mu-sical characters that we go through literally,” he said. “It’s a great exploration into musical characterization.”

In addition to playing mu-sic that demands attention

and is pleasing to the ear, Muffitt said his main focus is ensuring that the students of the MSFO are being ex-posed to music they will see in their professional lives.

“The pieces are always chosen because they’re great music but, really, the driv-ing motivation is the experi-ence that the MSFO students are going to have putting it together,” he said. “Every-thing that I choose is based on the experience for the players in the MSFO and the

repertoire that they need to cover. This is music they will play in their professional ca-reers many times so that’s a large component of why we select the pieces we play.”

Only a year removed from playing in the MSFO herself, Wang is excited to return to Chautauqua and perform with the orchestra as last season’s Sigma Alpha Iota competition winner.

“Chautauqua is a friendly place and all the people are very nice,” Wang said. “I

actually miss Chautauqua a lot, and I am very excited to come back and perform.”

Wang is looking forward to beginning studies toward a doctorate in musical arts in the fall at the University of Maryland and pursuing her lifelong love of music.

“I’ve loved music since I was little,” Wang said. “I think music’s positive en-ergy is important for people and I am proud to be a pia-nist.”

Chittister emphasized asking questions that look beyond the immediate im-plications of actions. For example, when the U.S. government puts nearly 50 percent of its resources into the military, effects reach further than budgets — it raises questions of how that decision affects first graders, medical care, research, de-

velopment and the environ-ment.

No institution will come out and discuss the effects on oil, gas and clean water when it says it is putting 50 percent of its resources into cotton, for example — yet this happens across the globe, Chittister said.

“I’m not saying [institu-tions are] not providing true info — they are,” she said. “But without the role of the public intellectual, they may not be providing the infor-

mation the public needs to know.”

Chittister will also look at public intellectuals across religions who have been ex-amining the role of women, and the effects on the public intellectual for “daring to open up the public aspect of any question.”

Maureen Rovegno, associ-ate director of Chautauqua Institution’s Department of Religion, said Chittister has been a prominent public in-tellectual voice in the world

of faith. “She has spoken out with

more articulation than I think we could attribute to just about anyone we know on what we consider to be the most important issues of the day — the rights of women, in terms of those op-pressed for all kinds of rea-sons, those deprived of their rights,” Rovegno said. “She really is a voice of the people, and she’s done it within the context of her own faith tra-dition.”

at 1:15 p.m. today in Fletcher Music hall, Marlena Malas, chair of the school of Music’s Voice Program, will be conducting her annual master class.

But she prefers not to call it that.

“It’s just a dialogue be-tween two people,” she said. “They have information and I have information, and if it works, it’s wonderful.”

The information Malas has isn’t worth nil. she’s been teaching master classes at the Institution for 34 years, and is a part of the Juilliard and Manhattan schools of music during the off-season. One New York Times journal-ist in 2005 named Malas “one

of the finest teachers in the country” on account of her vocal technique. although Malas’ journey through the field of music is weathered, she still runs into daily sur-prises.

“every time I meet some-one new for the first time,” she said, “I learn something.”

and today, Malas will be meeting four students for the first time, working with them as if it were the begin-ning of a semester at Juil-liard.

Malas, who said she still gets nervous directing stu-dents up on stage, explained that such anxiety is due to the difficulty in spontane-ously analyzing a voice art-ist, and dishing out criticism that could embarrass them in front of their peers.

“You have to know who you’re dealing with,” she said. “You have to get a sense of the person, how far they want to go, what is important to them. and you have to do it quickly — really quickly.”

What Malas hopes to in-clude in her tête-à-tête with the singers is to demonstrate what she calls the “voice of the mind,” the non-corporeal aspect of a singer’s toolbox. It’s a thought process, she said, that precedes the physi-cal movement of the hands and arms, or the vibration of vocal cords.

although all singers must maintain good fitness and healthy breathing habits, she said it’s the mental prepara-tion that is the most compli-cated to instruct.

“You have to prepare and

prepare,” she said. “and then you’ve got to let it go. The greatest performers are those who seem they’re making it up at the time. If they’re doing it correctly, then you’re not aware of it.”

and what Malas calls “the greatest instrument in the world” — the voice — takes a lot of upkeep and mainte-nance. she hopes to demon-strate to the audience just what goes into the lifestyle of the able-bodied singer.

In a previous year she had Tom ableson, a laryngologist from the Cleveland Clinic, lecture on the vocal cords and how to take care of the human voice. Caring for one’s voice, Malas said, is akin to polishing a violin, humidifying the body of a guitar — but much

more delicate.“The human voice is very

fragile,” she said. “You have to maintain a certain lifestyle to maintain this instrument in your body. This means you have to know yourself well enough.”

although Malas will be primarily working with stu-dents on their latest material, she hopes to involve audi-ence members as well, as to encourage those curious about their own talents.

her class, she said, wouldn’t be anything with-out that communication, along with the master and the apprentice relationship.

But Malas said that it’s just simple dialogue, and as far as any “masters” go, she said, “there isn’t [any].”

The iconic image of a tutu-fitted classical ballerina may be legendary, but it’s not per-manent.

In a world of perpetual progress and transforma-tion, dance is not immune to change. recent develop-ments in dance have seen a shift toward modern and contemporary movement, which often means reshap-ing the way people think of the quintessential ballerina.

This transition from con-ventional to current dancing is the focus of the Chautau-qua Dance Circle’s next lec-ture at 3:30 p.m. today in the hall of Christ. The lecture, titled “Transitions: Classi-cal to Contemporary Ballet,” will be led by sasha Janes, associate artistic director of the Charlotte Ballet, and rebecca Carmazzi, a former professional dancer.

Janes and Carmazzi plan to speak on the evolution of ballet, starting in the 19th century and working their way up to what audiences see on stage today. Their talk will be accompanied by a demonstration, as Janes and Carmazzi plan to physically illustrate various dance posi-tions in order to give audi-ence members visual points of reference.

“We’ll be showing classi-cal and contemporary poses, and showing how similar — yet abstract and different — they can be,” Carmazzi said.

according to Janes, the dance revolution truly be-gan with George Balanchine, a choreographer who was groundbreaking in the way he was able to utilize ballet technique in a contemporary fashion. he played with the traditional shapes of dance and elevated the musicality of ballet, Janes said.

after Balanchine came

modern dancers like Martha Graham and Merce Cunning-ham, performers who were a bit edgier and a bit more daring, Janes said, and who weren’t afraid to abandon tra-ditional conventions of dance, like wearing pointe shoes and tutus. Janes compared their influence in the dance sphere to the influence of modern painters in the art world.

“You have the great artists like rembrandt, who would make a painting that looks like a photograph,” Janes said. “Then you have the modernists like Picasso, who just started messing with art, abstracting it. They’re still artists, though, and they’re still using the same compo-sition. The modernists were just experimental, pushing the boundaries of tradition.”

In the same way, Janes believes that, while dance

styles may differ, all carry artistic weight. although the final choreographic products may be visually different, dance all boils down to the same classic fundamentals.

“Ballet is always going to be there,” Janes said. “It’s like learning an instrument. You always learn a classical instrument first — if you want to be a great guitarist, you first learn classical gui-tar. It’s the same in dance.”

While Janes said that dance is continuously pro-gressing and possibly mov-ing away from classical bal-let, he doesn’t necessarily see it as a bad thing. People must be able to strike a balance between tradition and inno-vation without losing either one, he said.

“It’s the future of dance,” he said of contemporary ballet. “I think we’ll always

have the classics, but audi-ences are exposed to many different forms of dance now. I think it is probably a good thing that we’ve pro-pelled dance forward.”

Janes and Carmazzi plan to explore the ever-changing face of dance further during today’s lecture. above all else, they hope the audience leaves their talk with a greater knowledge and understand-ing of the art form they’ve dedicated their lives to.

“It’s always important to educate the audience,” Janes said. “The greater back-ground and knowledge you have of dance, the greater appreciation you have for the art form.”

Today at 2 p.m. in the sherwood-Marsh studios, world-renowned pianist and Van Cliburn Piano Competition Gold Medal-ist Jon Nakamatsu will be giving a guest master piano class.

Back for his second sea-son in Chautauqua, Naka-matsu said that he looking forward to being back on the grounds and sharing music with the audience.

“I think when you play publicly it’s a direct line of communication that you really can’t replicate in a recording studio,” Naka-matsu said. “There’s kind of a special sense of being in an audience and being in a space where the music is actually being created at that moment and that every-one feels that creation com-munally. This is how music is meant to be heard and that it happens outdoors in Chautauqua.”

“Helen Keller once said ‘One can never consent to creep when one feels the impulse to soar,’” said the Rev. Daisy Machado at Sunday’s 10:45 a.m. morning worship service. Her sermon title

was “Never Consent to Creep” and her selected Scripture was Mark 10:46-52, the story of Bartimaeus.

“This is my favorite of the healing narratives,” she said, “because it calls us to hope beyond the physical. Bartimaeus is a man of faith who calls on us to re-evaluate our own faith.”

Machado set up the story for the congregation. Jesus was going to Jerusalem during his last week of life and passed through Jericho. It was a busy time in the life of the temple religion, she said, and Bartimaeus was not the only beggar who depended on the mercy of those who came and went from the temple.

Jesus had much on his mind as he moved toward Jeru-salem to confront the religious and the Roman authorities. At first, he appeared to be unmoved by the beggars — the crippled, the old and the blind — until he hears Bartimaeus’ cry.

“Bartimaeus recognized Jesus in a way the Disciples had failed to do,” she said. “He knew that Jesus could and would make a difference in his life; he was no ordinary prophet. Even though the crowd tried to silence him, Barti-maeus would not be silenced; he asked Jesus to let him see again.

“This was the cry of a man who was the victim of an ‘accident of health’ that took away his ability to work,” Machado continued. “These so-called ‘accidents of life’ are diminishing — illness, injury, the kind of education you get, your sex, the color of your skin or how much money your parents had. These ‘accidents of history’ get turned into the means of oppression by the world.”

When Jesus called Bartimaeus to him, he leaped up and ran to Jesus. Bartimaeus knew that a major change was about to happen in his life and he anticipated it with enthu-siasm, joy, anticipation and hope.

“We see Helen Keller’s words come to life,” she said. “The

impulse to soar will not allow Bartimaeus to creep.”Yet Jesus did not heal him immediately. He asked Barti-

maeus what he wanted from Him. “This is more than Jesus trying to make Bartimaeus

articulate what he wants,” Machado said. “So many times we call to God without wanting real change. Are you really ready for change?”

Bartimaeus’ name has a double meaning: “son of fear” and “son of honor.”

“The Greek readers [of the Gospel] would have under-stood the creativity,” she said. “The name is important be-cause of its double meaning. Bartimaeus was a beggar and unwanted in the eyes of the world, but he was created in the image of God and meant to soar.”

According to Machado, this is the story of all humankind — how we look on our neighbors, who we put in places of honor and who we try to silence or treat with indifference.

“So many times we think we are loved by God only when others are loved less,” she said. “Henri Nouwen said that God loves all humans and loves each of us in totally unique ways.”

The Disciples could not understand why Jesus would re-spond to the cry of a “nobody.” In society, people are judged by being on best dressed lists, the Forbes list, who has the best plastic surgery, where you got your education, she said.

“Jesus stopped to talk to a nobody, and there was anger in his entourage because he interrupted their well-planned entrance into Jerusalem to talk to a nobody. Who are the

nobodies today?” Machado said. She mentioned single mothers and children whose par-

ents have been deported.“We try to silence the cries of the vulnerable people who

embarrass us as they seem to creep along our high-tech roads. We are embarrassed by their vulnerability; God finds them worthy. Jesus healed a beggar and the blindness of the crowd was exposed. We need to name what blinds us,” she said.

Machado quoted Elie Wiesel, who swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings are being op-pressed. He said that silence only encourages the tormentor and not the tormented.

“We are called by God to soar; we are called to radical transformation,” she told the congregation. “We need to say yes to the divine invitation to see, to live more vibrant and meaningful lives. Let us soar and be part of the company that follows Jesus.”

The Rev. Robert M. Franklin presided. During the Notes in the Life of the Chautauqua Community,

he acknowledged the death of Ryan Kiblin and her baby on July 13. Kiblin was manager of grounds, gardens and landscaping for Chautauqua and responsible for the beautiful landscaping the com-munity enjoys.

The Rev. Carmen Perry read the Scripture. Perry is the new pastor at the Hurlbut Memorial Community United Methodist Church on the Chautauqua grounds. She and her husband, the Rev. Nicholas Perry, and their son, Nathan, live on the grounds year-round.

The responsorial psalm, based on Psalm 90, was “Restless in the Heart” by Bernadette Farrell. Peter Steinmetz served as can-tor. Warren Cooper and the Chautauqua Choir provided special music “There is a Balm: A Choral Calypso Promise-Praise.”

The Chautauqua Choir performed “Let All the Peoples Praise Thee, O God” by William Mathias based on Psalm 67. Jared Jacob-sen, organist, choir director and worship coordinator, played “God Among Us [La Nativité, IX]” by Olivier Messiaen as the postlude.

Former intelligence ana-lyst Matthew Levitt will lead programs today and Tues-day this week in the Everett Jewish Life Center at Chau-tauqua.

At 3:30 p.m. today, Lev-itt presents a lecture titled “Hezbollah and Iran’s Stra-tegic Partnership and What it Means for the Middle East and Beyond,” in which he will discuss how the expan-sion of the relationship be-tween Hezbollah and Iran has had immediate ramifica-tions for regional and inter-national security, from the tragedy of the war in Syria to a sharp rise in terrorist plots around the world.

Following the lecture, at 4:45 p.m., Levitt will sign copies of his 2013 book, Hez-bollah: The Global Footprint of Lebanon’s Party of God.

Then, at 12:15 p.m. Tues-

day at the EJLCC, Levitt will give a Brown Bag lecture titled “Hezbollah’s Global Footprint: From Africa to North America and Points In Between,” in which he will show how Hezbollah’s glob-al footprint presents a stark challenge to intelligence and law enforcement agencies around the world.

Levitt is a senior fellow and director of the Washing-ton Institute's Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the Washing-ton Institute for Near East Policy and a professorial lec-turer in International Rela-tions and Strategic Studies at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Ad-vanced International Stud-ies (SAIS). Formerly, he was a deputy assistant secretary for intelligence and analysis at the U.S. Department of the

Treasury. At the Washington Institute, he was the found-ing director of its Terrorism Research Program that was established in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Levitt lectured on interna-tional terrorism on behalf of the departments of State, Justice, Defense and Home-land Security, consulted for U.S. government and private industry, and testified before the Senate and House on in-ternational terrorism.

EJLCC will also present a repeat screening of “Fill the Void,” part of the 2014 Jew-ish Film Series, at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at the EJLCC. “Fill the Void” is a riveting story of contemporary ultra-Orthodox Heredi life in Is-rael and the many personal issues that may well be con-fronted during one’s life.

More than 120 years after Samuel Warren and louis Brandeis published “The right to Privacy” in Harvard Law Review, Michael Patrick lynch said that worry reso-nates louder than ever.

A writer and professor of philosophy, lynch explored ethical questions of privacy during his 2 p.m. interfaith lecture Friday in the Hall of Philosophy. His speech, ti-tled “Why Privacy Matters,” was the final installment of Week Three’s topic “The eth-ical Tensions of Privacy vs. interdependence.”

Technology gives peo-ple knowledge about other people in ways they never had before, lynch said. And that knowledge is power. it’s caused a loss of “information privacy” in today’s global world.

“information is private to the extent to which one con-trols access to it, and a lot of folks think that we need to accept that privacy, at least in that sense, is done,” lynch said. “i’m not so sure, al-though, sometimes i do get cynical myself.”

lynch sought to answers the questions: Why do peo-ple value privacy, on the most basic level? is this loss, or lessening, of privacy a good thing, or a bad thing? And why do people think in-vasions of privacy are mor-ally wrong?

To answer the question of value, lynch said what peo-ple are really putting value on is their mind. Holding on to a person’s privacy is less about having something to hide and wanting to keep it hidden, he said, but more about wanting to keep things hidden simply because they are that person’s to hide, and consequently reveal, on their own terms.

“Persons, in my view, have minds. And minds are private things,” lynch said.

echoing sentiments of Descartes and locke from Western philosophical tradi-tion, lynch said having sin-gular access to the mind is what sets apart one person’s mind, and sense of being, from another’s.

“You have a privileged ac-cess to it,” he said. “You have private access to your own

mind that you don’t have to anything else, and that’s in part what makes your mind, your mind.”

This private access also allows a person to control what others see or know about him or her, lynch said. This notion of autonomous control is valued in Western culture.

“We value privacy, it seems to me, at the very ba-sic root simply because we value who and what we are, and that is subjective be-ings,” lynch said.

When invading a person’s privacy, two types of wrong come from the act, lynch said. Whether or not a per-son is made aware that he or she is subject to intrusion, utilitarian consequences arise from the situation.

There is also an intrinsic, ethical wrong that occurs.

The answers to why inva-sions of privacy are thought of as morally wrong are wrapped up in that idea of autonomy, lynch said. if someone has access to an-other person’s thoughts and information, then they have the ability to control that other person. it takes away some of one’s autonomy, or “the ability to be a self-gov-erning individual, with some say over what you think and desire, and it’s a basic value in democracy.”

Some invasions of privacy, lynch said, can have positive effects. Security cameras — located in plain sight — help keep would-be criminals in check, for example. in the case of Professor X in the X-Men comics, sometimes even reading someone’s thoughts might be done under honest and good intentions, he said, but there is an inherent dan-ger in the collection of pri-vate information.

lynch used the metaphor of a swimming pool to dem-onstrate how the nSA, with the purpose of protecting the American people from terrorist attacks, could be corrupted.

“in the law, swimming pools are sometimes known as attractive nuisances. They attract children, for example, and as a result if you own a pool, then even if you are a watchful, responsible parent

yourself, you still have to put up a fence in the eyes of the law,” he said.

“even if we can trust that the nSA had no intentions of abusing the information they’ve collected on Ameri-can citizens, the pool of in-formation could easily prove irresistible,” lynch contin-ued. “And the bigger the pool, the more irresistible it’s likely to become.”

Higher and more secure fences need to be put around personal information, lynch said. Knowledge and power have the ability to corrupt, and access to large amounts of private information makes the American people vulnerable.

Vulnerability amounts to

an affront to human dignity, he said. in terms of large, systematic intrusions, like with the nSA and commer-cial companies like Amazon and google having constant access to vast information, it’s hurtful because these large entities start thinking of the population as less than human. They know they have the power to sway peo-ple’s thoughts and actions because they know how the population operates.

“That’s going to be hap-pening even if [they] don’t even act on the information,” he said. “You’d be dehuman-ized in a certain extent.”

Systematic forms of intru-sion are inconsistent with a

democracy, lynch said. even with good intentions, it takes away citizens’ right to auton-omy.

“There’s no privacy policy with the nSA,” he said. “A government who sees its citi-zens’ private information as subject to tracking and col-lection has implicitly adopt-ed a stance toward those citi-zens inconsistent with the respect due to their inherent dignity as autonomous indi-viduals.”

Understanding that some

intrusions are necessary for the protection of the Ameri-can people, lynch said it’s more important than ever to prepare for the worst situations while hoping for the best when thinking of government protection over citizens’ information. Trans-parency in the government is important, he said, be-cause knowledge is power for the people as well, and citizens need that knowl-edge to operate effectively in a democracy.

Michael Patrick Lynch, a writer and professor of philosophy, speaks in the Hall of Philosophy Friday. In his Interfaith Lecture, Lynch dissected ethical questions surrounding privacy.

lynch: privacy invasions are dehumanizing, morally wrong

Kelsey HusnicK | Staff Writer

Privacy rights originally stemmed from a worry that “technology was

outstripping the ability to ethically know how to deal with it.”

The William and Julia Clinger lectureship fund sponsors today’s 10:45 a.m. lecture by Colin G. Camp-bell.

The fund was created in august 2007 by cur-rent and former members of the Board of Trustees of Chautauqua institution and directors of Chautauqua foundation to honor Wil-liam f. Clinger Jr.’s service as chairman of the board of Chautauqua institution.

Bill was born in Warren, Pennsylvania. He attended The Hill school, received a Ba from Johns Hopkins University in 1961, and an llB from the University of Virginia in 1965. He served in the U.s. Navy as a lieuten-ant from 1951 to 1955, and worked for the New Pro-

cess Co., of Warren, Penn-sylvania from 1955 to 1962. after being admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1965, Clinger served in a private law practice in Warren and served as general counsel to the federal economic development administra-tion. Bill was elected as a Republican to the 96th and the eight succeeding Con-gresses (January 3, 1979 to January 3, 1997). While in the House of Representa-tives, he was chairman of the United states House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. He also served as a delegate to the Pennsylvania state con-stitutional convention from 1967 to 1968, and to the Re-publican National Conven-tion in 1972. Bill served as

a fellow to the institute of Politics at John f. Kennedy school of Government at Harvard University (1997-1998) and as a senior fel-low in the political science department of Johns Hop-kins University beginning in 1997.

He was honored in 2006 with the Woodrow Wilson award from Johns Hopkins University. The post office in Warren, Pennsylvania was named in his honor for his years of service in Congress and to the Warren commu-nity.

at Chautauqua, Bill worked at the Daily in his youth, served as commo-dore of the Yacht Club, a trustee from 1997 to 2007, and chairman of the Board of trustees from 2001-2007.

He also served on the Re-newal Campaign Cabinet and the idea Campaign Cabinet as a volunteer fund-raiser. Bill and wife Judy are third-generation Chautau-quans and property owners.

Judy is a graduate of the Masters school, dobbs fer-ry, New York, and an hon-ors graduate of Connecticut College for Women in New london, Connecticut. she is a member of the 1992 class of the ClsC, a former board member and life member of the Bird, Tree & Garden Club and a life member of the smith Memorial li-brary.

Their four children and seven grandchildren have spent part of every summer of their lives at Chautauqua.

The edith B. & arthur e. earley fund for the Per-forming arts helps support tonight’s performance of the Music school festival Orchestra with conductor Timothy Muffitt and pianist shuai Wang.

The earleys started com-ing to Chautauqua in 1959 because “it’s a unique place in the world.” art gradu-ated from Wake forest Uni-versity, was a member of the board of visitors for many years, and has received the University’s distinguished

alumni award. He earned his master’s from the Uni-versity of North Carolina. He was chairman and CeO of Meldrum & fewsmith advertising inc., an inter-national advertising agency headquartered in Cleve-land.

edith graduated from duquesne University and earned her master’s degree at the University of Pittsburgh. she taught in Pennsylvania’s McKeesport school district before she married in 1955 and then taught in Cleveland

for two years afterward. she was active as a volunteer in many Cleveland charitable organizations and was a great supporter of Chautau-qua. edith passed away in 1995.

art was a trustee of the Cleveland Playhouse, the Cleveland institute of Music and the Cleveland Theater festival. He was a direc-tor and officer of the Cleve-land arts Council and was President of the Cleveland Hearing and speech Center. He devoted a great deal of

his time to his profession of communications, serving on several regional and national boards. He was involved in community organizations and received many honors throughout his career.

If you would be interested in discussing the possibility of es-tablishing an endowed fund to support the performing arts or another aspect of Chautauqua’s program, please contact Karen Blozie, director of gift planning at 716-357-6244 or email her at [email protected].

The Presbyterian asso-ciation of Chautauqua Re-ligious lectureship fund sponsors today’s 2 p.m. interfaith lecture by Joan Chittister.

The lectureship was es-tablished in 1989 through gifts made by members and friends of the Presbyterian association of Chautauqua in recognition of the asso-ciation’s 100th anniversary. The Presbyterian associa-

tion of Chautauqua was in-corporated on august 27, 1889, with the immediate purpose of selecting and purchasing a site for the construction of a Presby-terian headquarters on the grounds. The headquarters, located at the south end of the amphitheater, was the first brick building con-structed at Chautauqua and was first fully occupied for use during the 1891 season.

Discipline and precision were very much in evidence in the Chautauqua Sympho-ny Orchestra program of this past Thursday, conducted by Bulgarian-born Rossen Milanov, music director of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra and the training orchestra Symphony in C — both in New Jersey — and principal conductor of Or-questa Sinfónica del Princi-pado de Asturias in Spain.

A trim and compact man who looks as though he might have been a soccer midfielder or a dancer, Mila-nov on the podium seemed to embody the music, bounc-ing on the balls of his feet and sculpting phrases with great sweeps of his upper body.

He was fun to watch, but there was nothing stagy about his podium demean-or. Dressed in a white tunic that drew the eye, the play-ers seemed unusually at-tentive to their leader. That was probably a good thing, considering that the con-cert’s opener, the overture to Thomas Adès’ 2004 opera The Tempest, could not have been in the playing experi-ence of many of the CSO’s musicians.

It’s a descriptive scene-setter, a storm in music with cascading sheets of swiftly moving strings and gusts of ominous, bellowing low brass — four minutes and eight seconds of meteorolog-ical fury.

And it was great fun, though the Amp’s resonant acoustic obscured some of the lashing detail of Adès’ Expressionist scene painting. When the storm had passed, an audience member, who is a prominent jazz bassist, exclaimed his approval with a vigorous, “Yeah,” the jazz nerd’s classic response to an especially gripping solo. “Yeah,” indeed.

There’s a fair amount of jazz in Ravel’s 1931 Con-certo in G major, too. Writ-ten after an American tour

on which the French com-poser had encountered Gershwin, the concerto also has echoes of Spanish music (Ravel’s mother was of Basque ancestry), and in the second movement, Mo-zartean lyricism and mel-ancholy.

It’s two different works, then, and in the opening movement, pianist Di Wu seemed to cast her lot with the yearning, nostalgic Ravel. She lingered dream-ily over the modal, flamenco guitar-like figure into which the music dissolved after the snappy, wisecracking open-ing. She played the arioso slow movement with poise and reserve, but maybe a bit too much reserve. It’s tricky stuff. Music of such exqui-site refinement can easily tip into bathos or decorative irrelevance, and the pianist steered a cautious middle course.

The finale begins with a whip crack and an off-to-the-races gallop. It’s music for a movie farce by the Marx Brothers, and Wu got all the notes, but perhaps without the last measure of abandon and insouciant fun that the music offers. A photo on her Twitter feed shows Wu sit-ting in with New Orleans-born pianist Jonathan Bat-tiste, apparently a friend from their Juilliard days. If Wu is experimenting with jazz, it will be fascinating to her next performance of the Ravel.

Listeners who dismiss Rachmaninoff’s orchestral music as overly discursive and sentimental (this writer is one of them) would have been disappointed with Milanov’s reading of Rach-maninoff’s “Symphonic Dances.”

Milanov clearly had the measure of the late (1940) work and led a terrific per-formance, shot through with Germanic structural rigor and French shapeliness and clarity. Slavic sentiment was not absent, either, but

was never stagy or calcu-lated. The conductor’s pre-cise shaping of phrases and confident use of rhythmic plasticity ensured that Rach-maninoff’s juicy melodies sang, but never sobbed.

There were times when Milanov’s manipulation of tempos threatened to go off the tracks, but he emerged at the last moment to bring the music to a shrewdly judged peak that sounded inevi-table and correct. It was like watching a soccer player toy with the ball, making the de-fender lean in one direction then deftly dribbling around him to calmly and self-assur-edly put the ball in the goal — jogo bonito, “the beautiful game.”

The CSO hasn’t had a mu-sic director since the summer

when Spain was crowned as the last World Cup soc-cer champion. Predicting the results of music direc-tor searches is as foolhardy a pastime as predicting the outcomes of soccer tourna-ments, but last evening, in the fourth year of the CSO’s music director search, Ros-sen Milanov was the man of the match.
