With perhaps the four most famous notes in classical music, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony has captured the attention of concertgoers for more than 200 years. It is a wide-ranging work that journeys from wonderful intensity to euphoric triumph, showcasing the composer’s brilliance. One of classical music’s biggest rising stars, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason makes his SPAC debut performing Camille Saint-Saëns’ Cello Concerto No. 1. Kanneh-Mason was propelled into the spotlight after he performed at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at Windsor Castle in 2018, an event watched by nearly two billion people worldwide. Since then, he has maintained an active performance calendar, appearing with many of the world’s leading orchestras including multiple engagements with The Philadelphia Orchestra. Most recently, he made his Carnegie Hall debut with his sister Isata, who made her SPAC and Philadelphia Orchestra debut in 2023.
The program opens with SPAC premiere of English composer, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s beautiful and lyrical work Ballade in A minor.

Grades 5-8

City Look Lab will offer students the experience of thinking through, making structures, and dreaming up ways to design comfortable and fun spaces. It’s a free space for learning the art of solving design problems.

The City Look Lab Workshop project will focus on developing fundamental art and architectural design skills and exploring various key architectural aspects of the City of Kingston. Each first-week workshop day will focus on a different core lesson to help the participating students choose and explore their interest in the intersection between art and architecture. The project is also designed to hone skills that will be helpful for the (art-inclined) student wanting to develop their portfolio (skills). The City Look Lab is open to all levels of students willing to experience collaborative art-making to understand its real-world applications. Students will take field trips and walking tours and ride the busses to explore our city’s cultural, environmental, and architectural wonders.

Our project brings proof that someone believes that a community such as Kingston deserves dignity and beauty and can be fortified by sprinkling tidbits of its community’s student creativity. This can be as simple as having creative students make colorful Public Projects such as signs, mini murals, benches, gates, bike racks, etc. City Look Lab is also designed as a great accentuation to help our place see itself as a great community by helping it fortify commuter access information to its transit options through creativity and more, giving dignity to those dependent on public spaces.

Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.
