The exhibition takes viewers behind the scenes of Dixon’s practice with an extensive collection of prints selected from among his studio productions in Paris, Pushkar, Los Angeles, London, Miami, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, São Paulo, and many other sites over his thirty-year career. Creating sensitive portraits that turn strangers into intimates, offbeat compositions that raise more questions than they answer, and insightful observations about the connectedness of humanity, Dixon blurs the lines between commercial and fine art photography with a charm and wit uniquely his own.

Lansdowne Folk Club presents David Jacobs-Strain (right) and Bob Beach (left) on Thursday, May 10, 2018. David Jacobs-Strain and Bob Beach met on a Philadelphia Folk Festival Workshop Stage in 2002. Over the next eight years they would come across each other at festivals, conferences and other music venues. These chance meetings eventually convinced them that working together could create something very special. Since 2010 they have been doing exactly that at festivals, clubs, house concerts and more. They currently perform between 70 and 100 shows a year on both east and west coasts. Their live show moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll. David is a fierce slide guitar player, and a song poet from Oregon. He is known for both his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon. David displays a range that ties him to his own generation and to guitar-slinger troubadours like Robert Johnson and Jackson Browne. Bob’s career has spanned more than 45 years. With his roots in blues, rock and folk, his innate feel for the music transcends genre, and can be integrated into everything from hip hop to bluegrass to kids’ cabaret and more. In addition to masterful harmonica, Bob’s skills include strong percussive flute work, and soulful vocals. Check them out at www.davidjacobs-strain.com. Founded in 1993, the Lansdowne Folk Club is a 501(c) (3) all volunteer non-profit corporation dedicated to presenting folk, acoustic and blues music. Other upcoming concerts includes Mike Agranoff and The Lords of Liechtenstein on June 7, Christie Lenee on September 27 and Moors and McCumber on October 25.

Annual Southeastern Pennsylvania Dementia Conference May 7 he Annual Southeastern Pennsylvania Dementia Conference returns for 2018, on May 7 at the Event Center at Valley Forge Casino Resort, 1160 First Avenue in King of Prussia, PA. This full day educational conference will be attended by as many as 400 people for a day of learning about caring for those affected by Alzheimer’s and communicating with experts in the field about “Wellbeing and Dementia.” Topics will include Communication and Coping Behaviors, Ethics, Spirituality, Living Well with Alzheimer’s Disease, Research, Hope and Deeply Forgetful People, Safety, as well as Managing Stress. The conference, which will take place from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter. “This is an opportunity for caregivers and health professionals alike to come together for a day of education, networking, and information,” said Kristina Prendergast, the chapter’s manager conference & program outreach. “Continuing education credits will also be available to nurses, social workers, certified dementia practitioners and pastoral care professionals.” The chapter has invited a variety of national, local, and regional experts to speak at the event to foster a meaningful and engaging educational environment, including this year’s keynote speaker, Stephen G. Post, Ph.D. An international speaker, bioethicist, best-selling author, and researcher, Dr. Post will present “Hope & Deeply Forgetful People” and “Respect, Relational Autonomy & Safety in Deeply Forgetful People: An Ethical Discussion.” Also participating as speakers are: Pamela A. Saunders, Ph.D.,

a researcher and professor of neurology at Georgetown University; David Wolk, MD, a researcher and Co-Director at Penn Memory Center; and Rabbi Dayle A. Friedman, MSW, MAJCS, BCC, a chaplain, social innovator, scholar, and spiritual guide. In recognition of her research to find ways to improve the quality of life for persons at risk of developing Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association will present Shana Stites, Psy.D., with the Dale Schenk Alzheimer’s Association Research Roundtable Grant Award at a special check presentation during the conference luncheon. The grant will help fund Dr. Stites’ continued research around beliefs, attitudes and expectations most often associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The first part of her multi-year research found that the stigma associated with Alzheimer’s disease may be an obstacle for individuals to seek information about individual risk and to participate in clinical studies. These findings have implications for how we might address stigma through public health education and potential changes to public policy. Exhibits, registration/check in, and a continental breakfast will take place from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m., after which the conference begins at 9 a.m. Dementia experts will provide an educational experience and attendees can take part in various specialized and interactive workshops to customize their learning experiences. Online pre-registration for the event was available at www.tinyurl.com/2018SEPAConference until April 26. Registration will also be available at the door the day of the event. Anyone with questions about registration or CEUs, may contact Kristina Prendergast via the Helpline, 800-272-3900 or email at, kristina.prendergast@alz.org.

This year, Science Week included several unique programs, such as butter making, an edible cell contest, and cupcakes inspired by the periodic table of elements and culminated with a visit from Terra Rose Genetics, an award-winning dairy farm that brought their top-pedigreed dairy cow, Glow, to school. Other activities, including dairy showing demonstrations and an overview and lesson on several varieties of chickens, added to the experience. These hands-on experiences helped the students gain a different perspective on the study of agriculture as a whole and a reminder of its all-important role in our lives.

Wolf Performing Arts Center Presents Godspell olf Performing Arts Center’s story of Godspell occurs in the future, where civilization is in a militaristic state. There’s no individuality, only solitude. Jesus remembers a world of peace, love, song, joy, and community. He leads an underground group of pacifists who are trying to restore the peace that once existed in the world outside. In their underground, secretive bunker, a community is formed and each member, through music, dance, and anecdotes, finds his/her own place among the group. Through biblical stories, deep questions of morality and a desire to restore peace and justice, Godspell looks at a world that challenges those willing to fight for what they believe in. “As I started to think about the reality of directing this show,

Ready for Wolf Performing Arts Center’s story of “Godspell” are: front – Sam McGuire (John the Baptist), Lower Merion High School, 9th grade; top left – Leo Flora (Jesus), Friends’ Central School, 8th grade; right – Samantha Simon (Judas), Bala Cynwyd Middle School, 8th grade. I had some big decisions to make,” said Director Betsy Wolf Regn. “I knew that I did not want to stay anchored in the Biblical meaning of the piece; what resonated so profoundly for me was what they were teaching. As an adult tasked with shaping young minds through the vehicle of theater, I very quickly saw how relevant the messages in Godspell were to our current world. The cast features 21 6-12th grade students who, with the guidance of the director, worked together to shape the society of Godspell. Godspell performances are May 3-6 at Wolf Performing Arts Center.

Friends’ Central Takes Carnegie Hall
Members of the Friends’ Central Chorus and Choral Director Michele Zuckman and Accompanist Zachary Zaitlin performed at Carnegie Hall this month with Grammy-winning Composer Eric Whitacre (front right) and Accompanist Kelly Yu-Chieh Lin (front left). arly April, a number of Friends’ Central students performed in one of the most prestigious concert venues in the World: New York’s Carnegie Hall. During the weekend of April 6, members of the Upper School Chorus joined high school and college singers from around the world in a three-day choral festival led by Grammy-winning composer/conductor Eric Whitacre. That same weekend, Friends’ Central sophomore Evan Sweitzer made his Carnegie Hall debut on solo piano in the Dr. Andor Kiszely Solo, Concert and Ensemble Recital. Sweitzer, who performed on Saturday evening, April 6, was nominated by teachers throughout the Greater Philadelphia region and was selected via a competitive audition process from among top students through the collegiate level. He played Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp Minor, Op. 27 No. 1. On why he chose that particular piece, Sweitzer said, “I missed the previous Carnegie Hall selection by one point, and I knew that the audition gets more competitive each year as more teachers nominate their students. Rather than giving up, though, I decided to make the commitment to try again. I chose Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp Minor in part because it was a step up technically from my previous audition piece, and also because I connect with it musically, which for me is always the most important part of making music.” Sweitzer, whose recital took place in Carnegie Hall’s elegant Weill Recital Hall, shared some of what he felt after performing onstage at Carnegie Hall. “It was an immense privilege to

Thirteen members of the Upper School Chorus made the trip and performed in Carnegie Hall’s renowned Stern Auditorium with both national and international high school and college choral groups. “It’s incredible to have the opportunity to not only perform in Carnegie Hall but also to work with wonderful students from around the world,” shared Friends’ Central Chorus members Evan Paszamant ’18 and Skye Victor ’19. “The feeling is truly overwhelming.” Friends’ Central Choral Director Michele Zuckman said, “I am so grateful for the privilege to work with such motivated and talented students on a project of this magnitude. As a choral director, it is a thrill of a lifetime to share my passion for making music by bringing Friends’ Central students to Carnegie Hall, where they collaborated with a brilliant composer/conductor and immensely talented young people from all over the world.”

Musicopia String Orchestra’s concert will take place on Saturday, May 12, 2018 at 5 p.m. at the Church of the Holy Trinity on Rittenhouse Square (1904 Walnut Street) under the direction of Daniela Pierson. tra, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Alabama Symphony Orchestra, and the Berliner Symphoniker, among others. Daniela Pierson, Artistic Director of the MSO said, “We’re having a great time working on the piece! There’s so much variety of characters and sounds in the different movements, which gives the students a chance to really explore what they can do as an ensemble. I’m not sure they quite understand yet how incredible it is that the piece was written specifically for them. We’re excited for them to meet with Mark.”Maestro Laycock has kept the audiences’ enjoyment at the forefront in his composition of the “Musicopia” Suite, while also making it a piece that, he hopes, will be meaningful to the MSO students as they learn and rehearse it. “I tried to construct a piece that would have an ebb and flow to it, while also giving the kids a challenge and an opportunity to play in different styles,” said Maestro Laycock. Since 1974, Musicopia has been a leader in music education across the Philadelphia region, helping more than 300,000 children experience the benefits of first-hand exposure to the arts. Focusing on under-served students and schools, Musicopia’s primary mission is to bring music to those places where there is none and support existing in-school and after-school programs so they can develop, grow and expand. Musicopia works with over 75 professional musicians and offers more than 2,000 programs to approximately 15,000 children annually. Musicopia also collects and repairs gently-used band and orchestral instruments through its Gift of Music instrument donation program. For information, visit www.musicopia.net.

Aladdin (Benjamin Behrend) rubs the magic lamp under the instructions of the Genie (Chris McCollum) in Storybook Musical Theatre’s production of “Aladdin.” Adapted from one of the best known stories from the “Tales of the Arabian Nights” by Storybook’s Artistic Director, Patricia Goldberg, with original music by Kevin Arruda, this is Storybook’s final presentation for its 26th season. “Aladdin” tells the story of a poor street urchin who runs afoul of an evil magician and his sidekick. But with the help of an enchanted lamp and its genie, the boy works his way out of a jam, saving the kingdom from the clutches of the magician and capturing the heart of the sultan’s daughter. Playing the title role of Aladdin is Benjamin Behrend of Philadelphia. Behrend is making his Storybook debut but has previously been seen at Act II Playhouse, Interact Theatre, White Pines Productions and the Philadelphia Fringe. Also making his Storybook debut is Chris McCollum, of Philadelphia, as the Genie of the lamp. He has appeared with 11th Hour Theatre, Media Theatre, Paper Mill Playhouse Blue Suede Productions and Playhouse in the Square. In the role of Sapphira, the Sultan’s daughter, is Aileen Goldberg, a resident of Upper Darby, who was last seen on the Storybook stage as Joycelyn, the good fairy, in “Sleeping Beauty.” The role of the Sultan is being played by another Storybook newcomer, Dorien Belle, also of Philadelphia. Regional credits include roles with the Arden Theatre, the Walnut St. Theatre, the Lucille Lortel Theater in New York and an International tour of “Have a Nice Life.” Perennial Storybook favorites David Mulholland and Faith Sherman join forces to play Maharajah and Yokeel, the evil magician and his faithful sidekick. Mulholland of Bristol, PA, most recently was seen in Storybook’s “Elves and the Shoemaker.” He has appeared regionally with Act Out Theater, Mt. Gretna Theater, Delaware Theater and the Prince Theater. Sherman, of Dublin, PA, was last seen in Storybook’s “Alice in Wonderland.” She has performed in many varied roles for Storybook and is an artist/teacher for the company’s children’s classes and its “Page to Stage” outreach program. Reservations are recommended. Children’s tickets: $12, Adults: $14 with generous school and group discounts. The production is appropriate for children age three and older. After each performance children have the opportunity to meet the actors for a handshake, picture or autograph. For info, reservations or directions, call 215-659-8550 or visit www.storybookmusical.org.

UPCOMING SPECIAL ISSUES:
Haverford, Pennsylvania, native and 2015 Haverford High School graduate is serving in the U.S. Navy forward—deployed aboard USS Blue Ridge. Petty Officer 3rd Class Matthew Pepper is a logistics specialist aboard the ship operating out of Yokosuka, Japan. The ship routinely deploys to protect alliances, enhance partnerships, and be ready to respond if a natural disaster occurs in the region.

Haverford native, Petty Officer 3rd Class Matthew Pepper is a logistics specialist aboard the ship operating out of Yokosuka, Japan. A Navy logistics specialist is responsible for managing inventories of repair parts/general supplies and distributing mail for ships, squadrons, and shore-based activities. Pepper is proud to serve in the Pacific and fondly recalls memories of Haverford. “Emphasis on teamwork and communication and how important it is in everyday life and appreciation of a hard day’s work are things I learned from my hometown that I bring into the Navy,” said Pepper. Moments like that makes it worth serving around the world ready at all times to defend America’s interests. With more than 50 percent of the world’s shipping tonnage and a third of the world’s crude oil passing through the region, the United States has historic and enduring interests in this part of the world. The Navy’s presence in Yokosuka is part of that longstanding commitment, explained Navy officials. USS Blue Ridge serves as the flagship for the U.S. Seventh Fleet. It is one of only two U.S. Navy command ships in the world, providing command and control for fleet commanders. “I love being forward-deployed and being able to experience different cultures,” said Pepper. As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied-upon assets, Pepper and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs. “I’m a lot more assertive because of the Navy and I take up leadership roles,” said Pepper. “Serving in the Navy means being a part of something bigger than yourself and learning to work with people coming from different backgrounds, all working to achieve the same goal.” Seventh Fleet, which is celebrating its 75th year in 2018, spans more than 124 million square kilometers, stretching from the International Date Line to the India/Pakistan border; and from the Kuril Islands in the North to the Antarctic in the South. Seventh Fleet’s area of operation encompasses 36 maritime countries and 50 percent of the world’s population with between 50-70 U.S. ships and submarines, 140 aircraft, and approximately 20,000 Sailors in the 7th Fleet.
