CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS by Elaine Sills, Chairman

The Chamber Music Concerts have been an integral part of Weymouth’s programs from the beginning, with the founders Elizabeth S. Ives, Lena Stewart, and President Sam Ragan at the helm.  Thanks to them, and their wish to build membership while paying tribute to Katharine Lamont Boyd and her love of music, concerts and music, became a solid part of Weymouth.  The accent was on North Carolina artists, and the connections the music committee had in their training and experience as musicians. 

Your support through membership keeps Weymouth moving forward, and special contributions, memorials, and grants help secure the excellence the concerts have provided.  We ask for your continued support.

Ongoing efforts to finance superlative programming are realized through grants, development strategies, and special events. Specifically, two grants have been received for the remainder of the year:

The North Carolina Community Foundation has awarded the March 11 concert funding to bring Carmund White, tenor, to perform operatic and heritage African-American repertoire.  A graduate from UNC-Chapel Hill, White completed his doctorate at Indiana. A pre-concert mini-lecture will feature highlights of the concert. Sondra Nelson, member of the Weymouth Board and the Music Committee, is also a program sponsor.

The Arts Council of Moore County awarded a grant for the March 17-18 Young Musicians Festival.  This festival was initiated in the early 80′s by Rose Ehrhardt Moz, UNC-Greensboro graduate in Music and Pinehurst resident. Details will be forwarded to area media and teachers.

Additionally, two musical luncheons will be presented, with Lynn Fonseca on February 9th, and duo-pianists Lydia Gill and her sister Maryann Cantrell-Colas on April 19th. They will be performing works by Rachmaninoff, Brahms, and Poulenc. Both luncheons will be $20.00 complete with entree, salad, dessert, and beverage.  These performances are to benefit the music programs. 

 A final concert in the spring will be announced when details are confirmed.

A sincere appreciation is extended to all of the area musicians, including guests, who provided their gifts of music during Christmas Open House and Carols.  They were:  Mary Margaret McNeill, Missy Brown, Peggy Calhoun, Jane McPhaul, Chris Stewart, Sue Aceves, Carol Tilton, Sondra Nelson, Faye Williams, Shirley Reardon with Missy Brown and Mary Margaret McNeill, Court Stewart, John and Carolyn Hatcher, Homer and Amanda Ferguson, Ruth Sinclair’s Piano Students, Brian Harbour, and Elaine Sills.

Also, special gratitude is extended to Talmadge Ragan, daughter of Poet Laureate Samuel T. Ragan, Ann McNeill, Lay Pastor, and Ryan Book, Classical Guitarist, for making Carols at Weymouth perfectly wonderful and in the Spirit of Weymouth!  Jane McPhaul, friend of Katharine Boyd, Sam Ragan, and educator/historian of Southern Pines and beyond, gave a history of Weymouth and the area from her perspective. Sincere thanks are extended to Pinelawn Memorial Park for their Carols sponsorship.

 

 

 

RETURN OF THE MOORE COUNTY HOUNDS  by Suzanne Daughtridge, Chairman

The Moore County Hounds will once again start from Weymouth on February 18, 2012.  Beginning at 8:30 a.m., horses, hounds, Masters and Staff will ride through Weymouth and gather in the meadow behind the Boyd House where they will greet the field.  It’s a beautiful sight second only to the Thanksgiving Hunt.  Weymouth is where it all began with James and Jackson Boyd’s founding of the Moore County Hounds.

RAGAN WRITERS’ SERIES by Stephen Smith, Chairman

 The Sam Ragan Writers Series will present two fundraisers featuring The Red Clay Ramblers “unplugged” on March 2nd and 3rd at 7:30 p.m. at the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities.  call Weymouth for reservations, $30 per person.

Now in their 40th year, the Tony Award-winning Red Clay Ramblers are a North Carolina string band whose repertoire reflects their roots in old-time mountain music, as well as bluegrass, country, rock, New Orleans jazz, gospel, and the American musical.

 In 1993, the Irwin-Shiner-Ramblers hit Fool Moon on Broadway earned the Ramblers their second Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Music in a Play, and Fool Moon in Los Angeles set box-office records; Fool Moon went on to run abroad in Vienna and Munich, returned to Broadway for a second success in late 1995, and had a third Broadway run (Brooks Atkinson Theater, Nov. ’98-Jan. ’99). Fool Moon enjoyed a 5-week run at the Kennedy Center, DC, Feb.-Mar. ’99, and received a Special Tony Award, Gershwin Theater, New York, NY, on June 6th, 1999.

 The Ramblers’ long association with music and theater also includes the original New York productions of Diamond Studs (1975) and Sam Shepard’s A Lie of the Mind (1985). In 1988, the Red Clay Ramblers scored Mr. Shepard’s film Far North, and they perform and appear in his second feature, Silent Tongue (Tri-Mark, 1994). The Ramblers also scored Nick Searcy’s Paradise Falls (Best Feature Under $1M, Hollywood Film Festival, Aug. ’98).

 The Ramblers have been guests numerous times on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion and have appeared nationally with Jay Leno (NBC-TV “Tonight”), Harry Smith (CBS-TV “This Morning”) and Candice Bergen (ABC-TV “AM-America”). They have toured extensively in North America and in Europe, and have made four USIA concert tours, to eastern Europe, sub-Sahara Africa, North Africa and the Middle East. The Ramblers developed Kudzu: A Southern Musical, in collaboration with Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Doug Marlette, and staged the show at Duke in Durham, NC (Feb. ’98) and Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC (Mar.-June ’98).

 Over the years, the Ramblers have performed with such figures as ’98 Grammy-winner Shawn Colvin (a Red Clay Rambler for most of ’87), Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, Eugene Chadbourn, Ireland’s Boys of the Lough, Randy Newman (recorded “Ride, Gambler, Ride” with him for the film Maverick), and Michele Shocked (who brought the Eagles’ Bernie Leadon and a mobile studio to North Carolina to record with the Ramblers). All along, members of the Ramblers have been involved separately in diverse creative projects, including children’s works for the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and the celebratory Carolina musicals King Mackerel, Cool Spring, and Tar Heel Voices.

The Ramblers’ show Fool Moon ran at the Geary Theater, San Francisco (Summer ’01) and their musical Lone Star Love: or, the Merry Wives of Windsor, Texas ran at the Ohio Theater, Cleveland, (Fall ’01). Their album Yonder was released August ’01, and the Ramblers made a national radio appearance on Mountain Stage” (NPR) in 2002. They premiered Ramblin’ Suite with the Atlanta Ballet (Fall ’02); toured Rambleshoe nationally with Dayton’s Rhythm in Shoes (Spring ’03, Spring ’04); and released on CD the scores to both Rambleshoe and Kudzu.

 The Ramblers’ ’04-’05 Off Broadway run of Lone Star Love earned Outstanding Musical nominations from both the Lucille Lortel Awards and the NY Outer Critics’ Circle, and the Original Cast Recording of the show was released January 2006 by PS Classics of New York. Their recording Fool Moon, the Music was released September 2007. The Red Clay Ramblers appeared with the North Carolina Symphony New Year’s Eve 2007, and Carolina Jamboree, their second ballet, launched by the Carolina Ballet in 2005, was reprised June 2008, and has been broadcast statewide numerous times over UNC Public Television.

 The Daily Advance calls the Ramblers’ latest CD, Old North State (released October 2009), “North Carolina culture at its best.” Premier acoustic music station WNCW salutes The Red Clay Ramblers as “the house band of North Carolina.” All over North Carolina during 2010 and 2011, as well as from New York City to St. Louis to Vancouver Island, The Ramblers continue to carry the banner of string-band music far and wide, and with great joy and zest!

Call Weymouth for tickets, 692-6261, $30, limited seating.

 WOMEN OF WEYMOUTH  by Elizabeth Kimsey, President

Christmas House is behind us for another year; and once again, it was a very successful event.  Jean Neil and her co-chair, Kathy Evans, did a wonderful job of organizing the event; Janet Baron, her co-chair, Jackie Rosenblum, and their committee gave us another beautiful and fun Preview Party; and Marian Gaida and her committee did a great job with the Candlelight Tour.  Elaine Sills’ evening of Carols at Weymouth took us back to the Boyd traditions, and the visit with Santa was a magical time for children on Saturday morning, chaired by Marcia Krasicky.   Many, many thanks to everyone for their hard work.   We could not do this event without the numerous volunteers who help make Christmas House successful – so thank you to all of you who contributed your time.  A special thank you to Hope and Alex for their patience, cheerfulness and hard work during Christmas House and throughout the year.

Our new year begins with a program about Prancing Horse.  This organization helps physically challenged children and adults by providing horseback riding therapy.  They do wonderful work, and I’m sure everyone will enjoy learning about it. In February, Helen Von Salzen takes us to Mt. Vernon and tea with the Washington’s.  March brings a program by Steve Barney, and in April, Audrey Moriarity will talk to us about notable women of Pinehurst.  The year will end, as always, in May with our traditional Strawberry Festival.  We will have a musical program followed by lunch on the veranda featuring Strawberry Shortcake.

All Women of Weymouth meetings, except for the May meeting, begin with coffee at 9:30 a.m. followed by a business meeting and program at 10 a.m.  Guests are welcome. 

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE by Barbara Dvorozniak & Kathy Evans, Chairmen

The Membership Committee thanks all the members who responded with their membership dues and donations which are so important to this non-profit organization.  We continue to ask members to introduce Weymouth to their friends and newcomers, and promote Weymouth in the community.

TAG SALE – NOVEMBER 12, 2011

HATS OFF to Mark Twilla, a special friend of Weymouth, who provided the professional leadership needed for the November tag sale at Weymouth! Together with FOW volunteers Jean Webster, Rita DiNapoli, Mimi Beatty, Cynthia Eckerd, Barbara Dovorzniak and Mary Anne Yakel – all indefatigable and dedicated, a most successful enterprise was realized.  Board members were also among the haulers, donors and movers.  A long line at the front door at 10am, and a steady stream of buyers found treasures
they didn’t know they needed!

 The finest of the donations have found their way to the newly refurbished writers’ rooms as well as others.  A much needed, handsome oriental rug now takes the place of pride in our foyer, while the old threadbare one graces the FOW room.  $4,000 dollars’ worth of furnishings came to stay at Weymouth.  The cash garnered the day of the sale, well over $6,000, will be used for all the needs of the house, including rug cleaning, repairs and interior painting. 

Thank you, thank you, donors, buyers and especially workers.   

Save all your special give-a-ways for our next sale!

LANDSCAPE COMMITTEE by Ray Owen, Chairman

 The Landscape Committee has been a part of Weymouth since 2009, formed as a standing committee by the Board of Directors. The purpose of the committee is to create, implement and sustain a comprehensive landscape plan for Weymouth with the assistance of a licensed landscape architect with experience in historic properties; implement the new plan (by necessity over a period of time); review future suggested installations (decorative, horticultural, architectural) for adherence to the plan concepts; and develop proposals to bring donations to Weymouth.

A thoughtful approach to achieving these goals required that we first educated ourselves and the members on what it means to be an historic property named on the National Register of Historic Places. Entered on the National Register in 1977, Weymouth’s historic grounds have been acknowledged by leading historians as among the most significant cultural landscapes in the South. The Weymouth Center was founded in part by funds obtained from the National Historic Trust, based on a mission that included conservation.

On November 9, 2009, the Weymouth Board of Directors endorsed the recommendation of Jeff Adolphson of the NC State Historic Preservation Office (NC-SHPO), with a moratorium on any new changes to the landscape, as well as a commitment to Part 1 of a Cultural Landscape Report (CLR). The Southern Pines Garden Club provided $5,000 to further this objective, and the Town of Southern Pines requested a matching $7,500 grant from NC-SHPO in order to fund the CLR for Weymouth.

The Cultural Landscape Report for Weymouth has been completed, and copies of this landmark study have been delivered to the Weymouth Board of Directors. The focus of the report is the Boyds and their symbiotic relationship to the landscapes of both Weymouth and Southern Pines, and the artistry of landscape architect Alfred Yeomans. Mr. Yeomans, a Boyd family relative, was the landscape architect for the Boyd estate. His designs are of such aesthetic and historic note, that the 1991 nomination to the National Register for the Southern Pines Historic District recommended establishing a complete landscape gardening context for the town based on his work.

Already the Weymouth Cultural Landscape Report has been a positive influence on the community, with The Walthour-Moss Foundation currently conducting cultural landscape studies for their preserve based upon the Weymouth landscape study.

UPSTAIRS AT WEYMOUTH  by Andrea Leech, Chairman, Boyd House Preservation Committee

During the recent holiday, with the writers’ residence mostly vacant, the House Committee made great headway in completing the refurbishment of the rooms. The work, of course, will never be entirely done.  Worn-out, broken and overused things will need to be replaced over time, but for now, the look is fresh and cheerful.

Our generous writers do provide funds for upgrading, but this recent work has been done at almost no cost, save for the painting.  Lovely gifts of soft furnishings from FOW members as well as the sweat-equity and talents of the committee have provided the greatest measure of support.  Our writers appear

to be most pleased and enthusiastic with the results.

Cele Bryant, a local artist and professional framer, has gifted Weymouth with colorful new silk matting for the Japanese wood-block prints, given to us by Lena Stewart.  They are the final decorative flourish for this serene and sunny St. Andrews Board Room.  Go upstairs soon and be inspired.

 A very special thanks to all the committee; Mary Schwab, Joanne Kilpatrick, Billie Ann Peterson, Jean Webster, and Andrea Leech, Chair, for all the hours of work and consultation over the last six months.  Alex Klalo, Weymouth’s Property Manager, who enabled all the progress with his understanding, knowledge, and consistent good cheer. He has been particularly heroic during this invasion!  We are so grateful for his continuing support especially.

WRITERS-IN-RESIDENCE  by Malaika Albrecht, Chairman

The Writers in Residence Program has been very active and successful recently with over 3 dozen writers staying and honing their craft at Weymouth. While in residence, the writers have read or taught at several places in the community, such as The Country Bookshop and Sandhills Community College. Writers continue to donate not only of their time but also money. Many have expressed their appreciation and gratitude for Weymouth. 

FINE ARTS LECTURE SERIES

To extend the North Carolina celebration of Dutch 17^th century master Rembrandt into the New Year, the spring lecture series will explore the work of other artists of the Golden Age.  The economic prosperity and urban culture that allowed the genius of Rembrandt to flourish in Amsterdam also encouraged talented artists such as Franz Hals, Judith Leyster, Jan Steen, and Johannes Vermeer in the cities of Haarlem and Delft.  Wealthy merchants and manufacturers developed a taste for richly diverse art works, including portraits, genre scenes of everyday life, landscapes, and still lives, to display in their homes.  A network of art dealers sprang up to cater to this new class of art patrons.  The art market as we know it today, with its open circulation of fine arts through galleries, auctions, and estate sales, was born during the Dutch Golden Age.

If Rembrandt is best known for portraits that allow us to glimpse the uniqueness of an individual, other artists became accomplished at their own specialties.  Franz Hals portrayed solid middle class burghers with a spontaneity that brings them to life, despite the Calvinist sobriety of their dark costumes.  Vermeer’s mostly female subjects inhabit domestic spaces, which speak volumes about the décor and lifestyle within the neat, quietly opulent interiors favored by the Dutch.  And Jan Steen, the virtuoso of tavern scenes and kitchen pieces, places us in the midst of noisy, smoky mayhem, where everyone is merry.  But if we examine the chaos more closely, we find that the artist’s true subject is not festivity, but a morality tale about virtuous behavior.

Finally, the Dutch were avid collectors of landscape paintings, perhaps because of their unique relationship to their terrain.  In the landscapes of artists like Jacob van Ruisdael, fields, sand dunes, and sea are overwhelmed by the sky – a perspective that would be revived in the late 19^th century by two modern Dutch painters, Vincent van Gogh and Piet Mondrian.  While their art departed from the careful realism of their 17^th century forerunners, they showed the same attachment to the orderly landscape of their homeland.
