Its timeless truths are the criteria of the 1620/1789 New World order reset, which are expounded to quell the seditious ripples emanating from the current socialist riptide through the amber waves of American life and destiny.”

Topics indulge Judeo-Christian life and liberties that spread since the unique prominence of church and state under God was envisioned by the founding fathers to be separately respected, with mutual benefit to the nation. They boldly celebrate the salutary faith-practice and patriotism that have proved necessary to perpetuate this great heritage.

Scottsdale, AZ, 17th January 2025- The Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra has announced its Spring 2025 series of concerts.

The Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra will be presenting three orchestral concerts in Spring 2025, featuring a professional quality orchestra consisting of 70-90 musicians from our community performing a mix of beloved masterworks as well as new favorites written by diverse composers.

The Spring 2025 orchestral concerts will feature outstanding world class soloists as guest artists. Steven Moeckel, well known for his role as the Phoenix Symphony Concertmaster, joins the orchestra as soloist in the beloved violin concerto, The Butterfly Lovers, in a special concert on Valentine’s Day weekend. Peter Eom, a United States Presidential Scholar in the Arts, will perform the Dvorak Cello Concerto as soloist in a serenade tribute to those most special to us, on Mother’s Day.

The orchestra is led by Music Director Desmond Siu, known for his expressive interpretations, his passion for sharing under-performed classics with audiences, and insightful pre-concert chats.

The Spring 2025 concerts will be performed at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts’ Virginia G. Piper Theater, 7380 E 2nd Street, in Scottsdale, Arizona. The concert dates and themes are as follows;

Sunday, February 16 – “East Meets West – A Love Story” celebrating Valentine’s Day, featuring Steven Moeckel
Sunday, March 23 – “Celebrating Powerful Women” for Women’s History month
Sunday, May 11 – “Connected Through Music” celebrating Mother’s Day, featuring Peter Eom

All concerts are performed at 4 pm with a special pre-concert chat, “Behind the Baton”, starting at 3:15 pm. Hosted by Maestro Siu, he shares the stories behind the music and introduces participants to the soloists in an intimate setting. This 20-minute session will include time for questions and is included in the price of each concert ticket.

Unlike many symphony orchestras that receive grants, the Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra relies on the generosity of individual donors and corporate sponsors to present these concerts to the community. Ticket sales cover only half of the costs of presenting world class orchestral concerts here in our local community.

“Thanks to our donors, we have been able to offer more free tickets to veterans, and offer greatly discounted tickets to students,” said Denise Wilson, Executive Director of the Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra. “But we need our community’s support to expand our impact so that we can bring the highest quality classical orchestral music to our local communities. Due to the generosity of our supporters, we now offer three free concerts each season, known as the Scottsdale Chamber Music Series. Our next projects include helping aspiring music students afford their studies through a scholarship program and offering a free ticket program for those that cannot afford to attend our concerts. Help us make a difference and consider a donation to support classical music for everyone in our community.”

Atlanta, GA, 17th January 2025-– Elliston Fine Art is thrilled to announce the upcoming solo exhibition, When the Wind Blows, featuring the profound works of Rwanda-based visual artist Willy Karekezi. This marks Willy’s second solo exhibition in the United States, both proudly presented by Elliston Fine Art.

With this exhibition, Willy invites audiences to explore the unseen forces of time that shape our landscapes, identities, and experiences. Through a captivating collection of artworks, Willy delves into the interplay between fragility and resilience, ephemerality and permanence, the personal and the collective.

The exhibition showcases an array of mediums including oil and acrylic on canvas, bark cloth, papier-mâché sculptures, and textiles. Each medium serves as a vessel for examining how moments and memories imprint themselves on our inner worlds. Central to the exhibition is bark cloth, an ancient material rooted in African traditions, which offers a tactile connection to ancestry, identity, and the land.

Willy’s work with bark cloth transcends its materiality, embodying stories of community, belonging, and survival. It becomes a symbolic bridge connecting the tangible and the intangible, echoing the layered histories and emotions that define the human existence. By juxtaposing bark cloth with the fluidity of paint and the textural richness of other mediums, Willy draws out the dualities of the human experience — timeless yet fleeting, intimate yet universal.

Visitors to When the Wind Blows are invited to reflect on how memory shapes and defines us, much like the wind etches its presence onto the earth. This collection, grounded in material and concept, reveals the silent power of memory — ever-moving, ever-shaping, and ever-lasting.

Join them at Elliston Fine Art for the opening of When the Wind Blows on January 20, 2025, to experience the artist’s evocative exploration of memory and time.
