Visit https://primaverafund.org/sterling-masterclass-series/a-romantic-jazz-soire. The mission of The Primavera Fund is to “promote diversity in classical music through mentoring and financially sustaining the musical ambitions of young promising Philadelphians.” Eligibility for the The Primavera Fund is based on family income and students must have a strong desire to pursue music professionally. The Primavera Fund provides individualized, focused support, resources, and access to the best educational opportunities in philadelphia and beyond, to ensure that they are prepared for college or conservatory level study. Once accepted, students are loaned an instrument from the Norman Holland Hull Instrument Library for the duration of their study. In 2014, founders, Rachel Segal, David Segal, and Kenny Bean built a program based on the tenet that talent should never be lost because of financial circumstances. Rachel’s career as a violinist had focused on performance and stretching boundaries while Kenny’s had focused on teaching and youth development. Both share the belief that what makes a great musician is the right combination of ability, guidance, and resources. Drawing inspiration of Maestro Joseph Primavera, whose knowledge and commitment for over five decades as the Music Director of the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra produced members of every major symphony orchestra in the United States, they started The Primavera Fund and the Norman Holland Hull Instrument Library.

an arse cheek” and Marnie’s struggle to keep her head above water is just starting. She wants to protect the place she’s secured for herself and her daughter at a women’s home, but it’s an uphill battle full of twists and setbacks that she can’t always control. Artistic Director Tom Reing draws on his experiences working at Catholic charity group homes to stage the play. He says, “The women were trying to gain independent living for themselves and their children but there were always things stacked up against them.” “Box Clever” premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2017. Of that production, Broadway Baby wrote, “Writer Monsay Whitney’s Box Clever is one of the most important shows up at the Edinburgh Fringe this year . . . Whitney’s text is infused with anger, vulnerability, comedy and overwhelming honesty.” The Arts Desk called it “a work of ferocious honesty and seething anger.” Simon Stephens wrote, “Monsay Whitney has the potential to become a startling and significant figure in British theatre.” Playwright Monsay Whitney is an actress and playwright living in London with her daughter. Her writing career began with the Lyric Young Writers class, and her play “Hand to Mouth” was developed and shown at the Lyric Hammersmith, and chosen by Simon Stephens as Theatre 503’s ‘Playwright Presents’ scheme. “Box Clever” is her third play, and her first to have a full run. “Box Clever” will be directed by Founding Artistic Director Tom Reing. He has worked for many years bringing new and exciting British works to Philadelphia. He has directed twenty-one American premieres as well as fourteen Philadelphia premieres. He is the recipient of an Independence Fellowship in the Arts, a MidAtlantic Arts Fellowship and Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Playwriting Fellowship. Reing will direct this two-handed starring Ruby Wolf playing Marnie. Just a few years ago

when she was a student at NYU Tisch, The Boston Globe raved about her performance of Sally Bowles for Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater: “Ruby Wolf’s star is just starting to rise . . . Hers is a story you’ll want to follow.” Inis Nua fans will also remember Rachel Brodeur from the U.S. premiere of “Hooked!” and from “Dublin By Lamplight,” both directed by Reing. Brodeur will be playing all the other characters Marnie encounters. She’ll also be familiar to Quintessence Theatre audiences, where she played Nina in “The Seagull,” among other roles. The technical team is full of Inis Nua favorites. The set will be designed by Meghan Jones (“Our Few and Evil Days,” “The Swallowing Dark,” among others) and lighting will be by Andrew Cowles (“Our Few and Evil Days,” “Trousers”). Daniel Ison (“Our Few and Evil Days”) will design sound and Abby Toll (“The Monster in the Hall”) will stage manage. Longtime Inis Nua collaborators Flannel and Hammer serve as production manager (Lauren Tracy) and technical director (Joe Daniels). Avista Custom Theatrical Services will design props. New to Inis Nua is costume designer Kathleen Yamaguchi, a graduate of Philadelphia’s Moore College of Art and Design. She recently designed “Much Ado About Nothing” for Delaware Shakespeare, as well as “1776,” “Dogfight,” “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Billy Elliot” for Media Theatre. “Box Clever” opens Friday, February 8, 2019 at 8 p.m., with preview performances Wednesday, February 6 and Thursday, February 7, at 7 p.m. It runs for a total of fifteen performances through Sunday, February 24, at 2 p.m. performances will take place at the Louis Bluver Theatre at the Drake, 302 South Hicks Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102.

Newly Opened Makhani Modern Indian Cuisine New BYO Features Executive Chef Led Menu That Aims to Elevate Modern Indian Cuisine estaurateur Shafi Gaffar recently opened of Makhani Modern Indian at 7 N. 3rd Street in Old City this past January. Makhani is Old City and Historic Philadelphia’s only restaurant specializing in elevated Modern Indian cuisine. In the kitchen, Executive Chef Sanjoy Banik focuses on North Indian dishes that are made fresh-to-order and all from scratch. Diners will find high quality foods that many Indian restaurants don’t work with, such as lobster, scallops, lamb shanks, Chilean sea bass, and the freshest of farm to table ingredients. Rich and intricate sauces are simmered and cooked for up to ten hours at a time. In the dining room, are 34 seats for dining, or space for up to 50 for special events. Opening hours are 11:30 daily, with a 10 p.m. close on Sundays through Thursdays, and 11 p.m. close on Fridays and Saturdays. For lunch look for lunch specials featuring rice, naan, house veggies, plus entree for $7.99 to $11.99. For reservations or delivery, call 267-534-5097 or online visit https://eatmakhani.com. “Makhani Modern Indian is proud to open in the heart of Old City, one of Philadelphia’s most popular and diverse dining neighborhoods,” said Gaffar. “Old City has such a rich hisShafi Gaffar inside his new restaurant tory with top quality internaMakhani Modern Indian at 7 N. 3rd Street tional cuisine. We are thrilled in Old City. Photo/Society Hill Films to add Modern Indian fare to that ever-expanding mix. Chef Sanjoy Banik’s mastery of traditional spices and flavors make each dish an opportunity to experience classics and delicacies in new and exciting ways. Every plate becomes a culinary journey.” Makhani Modern Makhani (Ma-Kha-Ni, which means “with butter”) Indian’s Tikka Masala specializes in North Indian curries that usually have thick, moderately spiced and creamy gravies. Chicken. Photo/Society Hill Films The use of dried fruits and nuts is fairly common even in everyday foods. Dairy products like milk, cream, home-made cottage cheese, ghee (clarified butter) and yogurt play an important role in the cooking of both savory and sweet dishes. Chef makes these available at all times of the year for Philadelphia’s beloved exotic food lovers. Everything in the kitchen, from the breads, to the sauces, to the desserts, are made in-house and from scratch using high quality, fresh ingredients from Chef and his culinary team. Authentic Indian dishes in a specially designed Tandoori clay oven brought over direct from India. On the menu, find an extensive list of notable vegan options – as 50% of the menu is vegan. Makhani also specializes in food freshly prepared and madeto-order right in view of the dining room. Indian food is very time consuming to make from scratch—sauces can be 8-10 hours to do it right, and it takes a lot longer to serve food to the table. Some restaurants then make sauces and store them for days or weeks through freezing. It is also common for some restaurants to freeze their proteins. At Makhani, look for sauces to be made fresh daily, with meats fresh and cooked on skewers. Gaffar added, “You can taste the difference in our preparation.” Shafi Gaffar, 29, was born in Bangladesh and moved Philadelphia before he was five years old. He currently lives in Northern Liberties with his wife. During his childhood and teen years, he grew up working in several restaurants that his family owned since early 2000s. Mango Anar Cheesecake – Homemade mango “I want to offer new modern and hip twists to favorite old pomegranate cheesecake. Photo/Society Hill Films school Indian dishes,” said Gaffar. “I want to scale Makahni into more than just a regular neighborhood corner curry house. I think people see Indian food as just curry or spicy. Indian food is beyond spicy and curry. Indian food can offer the most exotic mixture of aromatic flavors into any veggies, meat or seafood lovers. Rich and complex flavors—and layer of flavors.” For inspiration, Gaffar pulls from his childhood for one of Makhani’s signature dishes – the Indian Mango Chicken. “My family owns a mango garden/farm in Bangladesh so as a kid visiting Bangladesh my parents always took me to pick mangoes and eat them right off the trees,” said Gaffar. “The chef has equal love for mangoes which prompted as to crest a fresh mango chicken dish!” Makhani Modern Indian will host their first Valentine’s Day Dinner with three courses for only $35 including choice of appetizer, entree and special dessert. Appetizers: Veggie Cutlet – Fried ground mix veggies spiced with house masala. Tandoori Chicken Wings – Yogurt marinate wings grilled in the tandoor (clay oven). Crab Tikki – Masala spiced crab cakes. Main Course: Chicken Shibani – Chicken breast stuffed with spinach and homemade cottage cheese. Tandoori Chicken – Half grilled spiced marinate chicken cooked in clay oven. Nargisi Kofta – Ground Makhani Modern Indian’s Nargisi Kofta – Ground Lamb Lamb meat balls stuffed with hard boiled eggs. Muglai Aloo meat balls stuffed with hard boiled eggs. Gobi – Potatoes and cauliflower medley in a rich creamy cashew sauce. Shrimp Malabar – Shrimp cooked with roasted coconut mustard seeds and curry leaf. Salmon Begum Bibhar – Grilled Atlantic salmon marinated w/ginger garlic & house sauce. Desserts: Mango Anar Cheesecake – Homemade mango pomegranate cheesecake. Mango banana carrot flambé – Fresh mango banana and carrot pudding topped off with mango ice cream and rum. As a special gift, Makhani will give each couple a special gift to bring home – a flower and an authentic peacock feather – as a reminder of the special night in front of Makhani’s giant peacock mural inside the dining room – an eight by twenty foot custom peacock mural by Evan Lovette and ArtByAlysia. The peacock feather symbolizes good luck and prosperity in the home. For reservations, call 267-534-5097 or visit https://eatmakhani.com.

The Dental Hygiene Program at Harcum College will offer free oral examinations, sealants, fluoride treatments, and health care instructions for children ages 6-12 during its annual Sealant Day, on Monday, February 18, 2019. he Dental Hygiene Program at Harcum College will offer free oral examinations, sealants, fluoride treatments, and health care instructions for children ages 6-12 during its annual Sealant Day, on Monday, February 18, 2019, Presidents’ Day. The event will be held at the Cohen Dental Center on Harcum’s Bryn Mawr campus. The services are provided on a first-come, first-serve basis, regardless of income, with no other qualifying information necessary. Families need only call ahead for an appointment by contacting the Cohen Dental Center at 610-526-6113. Appointments are being accepted at regular intervals throughout the day until all slots are full. 2019 marks the 15th year of the free program, during which registered dental hygienists, area dentists, and Harcum dental hygiene students provide free dental hygiene services to children who have pre-registered. Co-sponsored by the Pennsylvania Dental Hygienists’ Association, Sealant Day aims to prevent future tooth decay and cavities in children, as well as aid in overall oral health. The tips and guidance provided help children, families, and the community learn the value of oral care in their overall health and wellness. “Our students and faculty are devoted to promoting good oral health to parents and children in the local area,” said Jean Byrnes-Ziegler, Director of the Dental Hygiene Program. “Sealant Day is an important initiative for us to not only advance the clinical experience for our students but also to provide a much needed community resource.” An estimated 100 million Americans have no dental insurance. Nationally, the incidence of dental cavities is rising for the first time in decades. Locally, it is estimated that 40 percent of Pennsylvanians lack dental insurance. According to the American Society of Periodontology, oral health problems are linked to a variety of diseases and health conditions, including diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. The use of sealants can decrease oral health complications, especially for cavity prone children. Families need only call ahead for an appointment by contacting the Cohen Dental Center at 610-526-6113.

Haverford Adult School Prepares for Spring Semester

Cory Azeff (left), a Computer Information Systems major, reviews an assignment with Professor James Waters in Neumann University’s new Data Analytics Lab. arget, eBay, Equifax, Sony, Yahoo, Marriott. These are just a few of the giant corporations that have been hacked in the past several years. Technological trends -- such as the internet of things (IoT) and the increase in cloudbased computing -- have increased the need for protection against cyber threats, but the lack of cybersecurity professionals who understand and can mitigate these threats is an ongoing privacy concern. To help address this critical marketplace need, Neumann University is launching two new degree programs in fall 2019: Cybersecurity, and Data Science and Analytics. The centerpiece of these two new majors is the Data Analytics Lab. The lab, which opened on January 9, features glass classroom walls, a stock market ticker, mounted TVs with stock information, three 75" instructional high-definition screens, rise-display monitors at each desk, and a server lab for hacking simulations. The server lab has three servers that can operate on or off the university network. During their capstone class, Cybersecurity majors will be assigned roles in simulations where they will have to protect the servers from hackers while classmates try to hack into the technology and obtain data. “We want to teach our students to use their powers for good, as we state in our mission and core values,” said Eric Wellington, dean of Business and Information Management, about the opportunity for students to learn counter-hacking. “We will teach them the way hackers come in and then how to protect against them.” Neumann University’s degree in Cybersecurity will give students a background in network security, operating systems, cryptography, incident response, secure programming, vulnerability analysis, social engineering, governance and risk assessment – all skills designed to prepare a student for a career in this growing field. Career opportunities include security analyst, security architect, network security analyst, security systems administrator, IT security consultant, and many others. Data Science and Analytics is not only one of the fastest growing fields in the United States but also one of the highest paying jobs in the tech sector. Neumann’s major in Data Science and Analytics gives students a strong background in statistics, computer science and mathematics along with the critical thinking skills necessary to analyze voluminous and complex data sets. Students will learn computer programming, database systems management, and data analysis. For more information about the Cybersecurity and Data Science and Analytics majors, visit www.neumann.edu.

While all materials are included in the workshop fee, participants are free to bring along any personally meaningful beads, charms or string-able precious objects they’d like to incorporate into their pieces. Please note that after the workshop, the instructor will have one-of-a-kind beads for purchase, with all proceeds going to children’s education programming at Glencairn Museum. “From protection and prayer to status and accomplishment, jewelry has served as a reflection of both personal and communal values around the world since the earliest periods of human history,” says Christine McDonald, Glencairn’s workshop coordinator. “This workshop gives participants a chance to explore the beauty, materials and symbolism of the jewelry from our Egyptian, Roman and Greek collections and consider the intention behind their creation.” Registration for the workshop is required by February 11: call 267-502-2990. No beading experience necessary; all materials included. $35 per person. Glencairn Museum is located at 1001 Cathedral Road, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009.
Betsy Ross House Celebrates Women’s History Month in March Meet The Women of the Betsy Ross House on Sunday, March 3 he Betsy Ross House is set to celebrate Women’s History Month with a variety of special events throughout the month of March. The iconic site is the only place in Philadelphia dedicated solely to telling the stories of Colonial women and their contributions to our nation. The month kicks off with a one-of-a-kind, ticketed event, Meet the Women of the Betsy Ross House. This brand new event, set for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, March 3, offers guests the opportunity to meet three women who, like Betsy Ross, were 18th century middle-class entrepreneurs: chocolate maker Mary Crathorne; Hannah Lithgow, who owned the House when Betsy Ross rented rooms there; and, Phillis the laundress, a freed slave making her way in the world. Plus, they’ll meet Betsy, herself, at three different ages – the young rebel who sewed a standard for our young nation; the woman who made musket cartridges to support a Revolution; and, finally, as an older woman who shared stories with her children and grandchildren. As guests tour the House, they will meet and interact with the six different History Makers and have the chance to hear stories from their lives and ask questions. Tickets are timed so guests get a personal experience during the approximately hour-long program. “Telling the forgotten stories of colonial women, who quietly contributed so much to our nation is at the very heart of our mission,” said Lisa Acker Moulder, the House’s director. “Women’s History Month gives us a platform to host special events that showcase some of those woman in a new light.” Timed tickets for Meet the Women of the Betsy Ross House are just $10 and are available in advance at historicphiladelphia.org or by calling 215-629-4026. Some walk-up tickets may be offered, but advance reservations are suggested. Self-guided tours will not be available during the special event. In addition to the March 3 event, the popular, free Colonial Chocolate Making program returns 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 2. Visitors will meet three female entrepreneurs and learn how women played an active role during the American Revolution – from making important military supplies, like flags and musket cartridges, to choosing “patriotic” beverages like chocolate and coffee, rather than tea and sample the hot chocolate drink that colonists enjoyed. Sponsored by American Heritage® Chocolate.

Members of The Haverford School’s Middle School squash team celebrate after their first-place finish at the U.S. Middle School Team Squash Championships in New Haven, Conn. This is the third national championship for the program. he Haverford School’s Middle School squash A team clinched a national title at the U.S. Middle School Team Squash Championships by edging out Bronxville 5-0. Three Haverford teams competed in the event held at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. The tournament featured four divisions of teams. Two Haverford teams competed in Division I and one team competed in Division II. All teams made a strong showing, with the Haverford B team finishing eighth in Division I, and Haverford C finishing third in Division II and 19th nationally. The teams were led by Ron Koenig, head coach of Middle School squash, and Asad Khan, Director of Squash Programs. “Our players worked hard all year, and capped off their season with a dominant performance at the National Championships,” said Koenig. “I’m very proud of our boys, and excited to see what they do as they continue their squash careers.” This is the third national title for Haverford’s Middle School squash program, with previous wins in 2014 and 2016. “We are proud of our Middle School squash teams for claiming the National Championship,” said Michael Murphy, Director of Athletics. “As one of the premier squash programs in the country, it is exciting for us to have a strong foundation upon which we can continue to build our Upper School program into one of the best nationally.” Haverford’s Upper School squash program also found success this season, as the Haverford A team clinched the Inter-Ac title, going 4-0 this year. The Fords took second place at the U.S. High School National Championships on Feb. 3 in Hartford, Conn. The team is slated as the top seed in the Mid-Atlantic Squash Association Championships.

“Your Special Island” Art Exhibit at Haverford College A new exhibit curated by Courtney Lynne Carter ’17, post-baccalaureate fellow for the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities at Haverford College, and Maya Berrol-Young BMC ’17, gathers the work of three artists – Andrea Chung, Rachelle Dang, and Ming Wong – to reveal the artifice of idealized versions of a tropical paradise by and for imperial pursuits. The works in “Your Special Island” reframe source materials from resort advertisements, colonial wallpaper, and Hollywood film to redirect attention onto their imperial construction. Taken together, these works ask viewers to reckon with the contemporary manifestations of complex imperial histories in tropical island sites, exposing the violence and exploitation that make the Western fantasy of the tropical possible. “Your Special Island” will be on view February 7 through March 8 at Haverford College’s VCAM Lower Create Space 006. Join for a curator talk and opening reception on February 7, from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. For details, visit https://yourspecialisland.wordpress.com. The VCAM Lower Create Space 006 is located on the first floor of the Visual Culture, Arts, and Media (VCAM) building at Haverford College. The gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For info, contact co-curators Courtney Lynne Carter and Maya Berrol-Young at yourspecialisland@gmail.com. Haverford College is located at 370 Lancaster Avenue, Haverford, PA 19041.

Equipped with this new understanding, participants will hear two brand new works and start a conversation with their composers. The workshop series exploring the cello’s journey through time and the many ways its history can illuminate our hearing of music, past and present. These interactive lecture recitals feature two brand new works for solo cello by Nick DiBerardino and Ira Mowitz. Participants will discover how this new music connects to the rich legacy of the cello’s past, emerging with a deeper experience of music. The series culminates in a recital on June 16, featuring the new commissions alongside staples from the solo cello repertoire. Contact the Music Department at 215-6865316 for information.
