SUMMARY:Bespoke Matter
DESCRIPTION:Curtis Symphony Orchestra launches its 2025–26 series with a dynamic program tracing the evolution of orchestral music. The evening opens with Overture to The School for Scandal\, Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber’s witty and fast-paced overture inspired by Sheridan’s 18th-century comedy. Grammy-winning conductor Christoph Eschenbach leads Krzysztof Penderecki’s Concerto Grosso for Three Cellos\, featuring Curtis alumni Nicholas Canellakis\, Yumi Kendall\, and Christine Jeonghyoun Lee—a striking work that blends lyrical beauty with bold dissonance and rhythmic intensity. \nThe program culminates in Anton Bruckner’s monumental Symphony No. 3\, a sweeping and heroic masterpiece that unfolds in waves of majestic brass chorales\, soaring themes\, and a staggering sense of scale. \nPlease note programs and artists are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Linda Celestian and Amy Orr
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 6:00 PM on Thursday\, July 24th\, for a two-person artist talk with Linda Celestian and Amy Orr\n\n\nPlease join us at 6:00 PM on Wednesday\, September 17\, for a two-person artist talk with Linda Celestian and Amy Orr in the Oar Pub\, Park Towne Place. Light refreshments will be served. \nBoth artists are featured in the Park Towne Place Permanent Collection\, which houses over 150 original pieces of art. \nLinda Celestian’s work pulls from her memories and feelings about nature\, while Amy Orr involves the reinvention of manufactured material like plastic. Come learn more about their practice and the Permanent Collection. \nSchedule  \n6:00p | Open doors \n6:15p  | Artist talk begins  \n7:15p  | Tour of the Permanent Collection in the Towne Center  \n \nAbout the Artists \nLinda Celestian grew up in upstate New York. She attended Moore College of Art receiving an MFA in Fashion Design and completed a year of postgraduate study in Painting and Sculpture. After a few years as a designer in the Fashion industry she returned to fine art experimenting with new techniques and materials. \nShe works with paint in its fluid form manipulating it to imitate natural occurrences. \nShe enjoys exploring natural techniques to sculpt her fiber creations\, including nuno felting\, shibori dyeing\, and rust dyeing. Silk has been her preferred material because of its diaphanous qualities. Inspired by nature\, small sculptures are stitched to linen circles like specimens and can be installed as collections. Elegant wearables harken back to her fashion roots. \nHer large\, suspended sculptures command a space while concurrently feeling weightless and free-floating. \n— \nAmy Orr  is a multimedia artist whose work often involves the reinvention of manufactured materials; plastic and plastic cards in particular. The understanding and perception of plastic and ephemera is changing quickly. Where Amy’s work was once a lighthearted narrative about consumerism and culture\, it is now overshadowed by the environmental disaster that our single-use practice has caused. \nAmy is drawn to materials for their color\, abundance and original intent. Whether constructing a patterned composition or figurative mosaic\, the plastic fragments become a sparkling wasteland of personal histories and common stories. With a background in textiles\, Orr’s work can be understood with references to the crazy quilt\, in which fabric scraps are pieced together to create a whole cloth that is greater then the sum of its parts. \nPreviously a tenured professor\, administrator\, designer\, and art publication editor\, Amy Orr is now a studio and street artist. She accepts commissions for portraits\, logos and architectural installations.
