Give-aways
The Seattle Chamber Music Society is holding its Winter Festival in Nordstrom Hall at Benaroya on January 17, 18 and 19 and the following weekend January 24, 25 and 26. The first weekend is devoted to part 1 of the magnificent string quartets by Beethoven; part 2 of the Beethoven string quartets will be performed at the Society’s Summer Festival in July. As a Board member, Diane Stevens may be able to obtain two guest tickets to attend one of the performances for a couple (or two single persons) who have not attended these performances in the past and who are curious to find out more about this organization which is beginning its 39th season in Seattle. If interested, please contact Diane at enaidstevens@gmail.com or 206-285-9941. (For additional information on the Society, go to seattlechambermusic.org.) (first-come, first-served, of course)

She has a parking pass for Benaroya Hall but there is also a Skyline bus from 8th Avenue that leaves at 11:15 on Friday (and returns when the concert is over about 2:20). The program includes Elena Langer, “Figaro Gets a Divorce Suite” (a World Premiere); Ludwig van Beethoven, Piano Concerto No. 5, “Emperor”; and Felix Mendelssohn, Symphony No. 4, “Italian”. If you’re interested in these tickets, call her at 206-402-5550 (first-come, first-served, of course).
Expeditions
Val Lynch and Put Barber are heading to the Tacoma Art Museum on Thursday, January 16, to catch the exhibit on the connections between the world-wide Impressionist Movement and Pacific Northwest Artists – “The exhibition will provide visitors the unique opportunity to enjoy signature works by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Gauguin, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, and Edgar Degas, as well as some of the American and Northwestern artists they influenced, including Theodore Robinson, Theodore Wendel, C.C. McKim, and Clara Jane Stephens.” They will be leaving at 10 that morning and have room for two more people in their car plus guest tickets to the Museum. If you would like to go, write Put at putnam.barber@gmail.com (first-come, first-served of course).
Requests for help
If you have the equipment and know-how to transfer VHS tapes to computer files, Put Barber would love to have you convert four or five tapes of family memorabilia into a form which he and Val could watch on a computer and send along to other family members. If you’re able to help with this, please write him at putnam.barber@gmail.com at your convenience.
