Bay View Concert Season Opens Sunday, June 15

Sunday, June 15th marks the open-ing of the Bay View Music Festival, when music faculty from around the country come together to bring audi-ences an 8-week series of magnificent-ly eclectic concerts. Affectionately known to long-term fans as “vespers,” each concert is bookended by a hymn-sing, usually a familiar tune that allows over 800 people to raise their collective voices in song. These hour-long, family-friendly events take place at 8 p.m. each Sunday night through-out the Festival and will bring audi-ences on a journey through music old and new with something for everyone.

The Sunday Sunset Series begins with its traditional Opening Night concert, in which faculty soloists and ensembles bring the new, the familiar,

the phenomenal and the fantastic to beautiful Bay View.

This year, the concert opens with a spritely invocation called “Putting It Together” from Sondheim’s “Sunday in the Park with George” which sums up the creative process and care that goes into each concert in the season. As is typical of the series, the reper-toire will show a wide range in style and mood, from Brahms’ “Hungarian Dance” to bass-baritone Brian Banion and tenor Neil Harrelson singing a heartfelt duet from “The Secret Garden,” and ends with a finale per-formed by the Festival Choir.

This week also kicks off the cham-ber music faculty series Wednesday, June 18. Details on page 7.

OPENING NIGHT Celebrate the return of summer in northern Michigan with a night of the familiar, the phenomenal, and the fantastic. June 15 at 8 p.m. in John M. Hall Auditorium.

Pre-ordered Vespers Packet Pick-Up & Box Office Kick-Off Saturday, June 14 from 9:30 a.m. – 12 noon.

Greetings! I will be at the Voorhies Hall Box Office this Saturday morning and would love to hand you your ves-pers ticket packet myself, along with a complimentary cup of coffee. It will be great to reconnect and hear how you are doing. See you there...

By Sophie McGee, Co-Chair of Historical Museum Committee

Bay View Historical Museums open on Sunday, June 15, following church services. This year’s exhibition celebrates the Museum’s 50th Year Anniversary which was established in 1964 for the purpose of organizing and preserving a collection of significant artifacts long neglected and scattered in various unsecured locations throughout the Bay View campus.

The dignified and serious period representing early Bay View will continue to be displayed in Museum Building 1 (Speaker’s Stand) featuring a recently acquired coat and hat

belonging to the Reverend William Shier who was Bay View’s longest serving president from 1887 to 1907. Also in Museum 1 is an impressive piece of copper from Bay View founder S.O. Knapp’s copper mine in Michigan’s upper peninsula.

Museum Building 2 will reflect the more festive and colorful era of the 1960’s (photo) with the mingling of upbeat fashion, whimsical memorabilia and over 150 pieces of Kellogg Pottery. Stanley Kellogg was a popular potter from the 1950’s to

1970’s whose studio was located in Petoskey at a facility now known as Fletch’s.

The Bay View Historical Museums are situated on campus in front of John M. Hall Auditorium.

Museum Hours:

•Monday and Wednesday from 1-3

Susan I. Stewart, Research Scientist

University of Wisconsin-Madison

Susan I. Stewart earned her PhD in Recreation with a specialization in Resource Economics from Michigan State University in 1994. After a 20 year career in Forest Service Research she returned to her north-ern Michigan roots in July 2012, relocating from the Chicago suburbs to Harbor Springs.

In the late 1960s, rural areas rich with natural amenities – forests and fields, lakes and streams, scenic vistas – became the setting for a “rural Renaissance”. Rural populations began to increase through migration, reversing a decades-long trend of rural people moving to cities. Demand

for new housing, especially seasonal homes, spurred extensive residen-

tial development. By the early 1970s, concern about Northern Michigan’s hous-ing boom gave rise to liti-gation under newly-enact-ed environmental laws; but within a few years, litigants changed tactics and estab-lished the Little Traverse Conservancy. Dr. Stewart will give an overview of the forces that drove (and con-tinue to drive) rural hous-ing growth throughout the U.S., combined with Dr. Stewart’s personal experi-ence growing up in north-ern Michigan, witnessing the changes that took place

and watching her parents and their peers respond.

2014 Treasure in the Trees!



The Town Crier

Spring has sprung and the wild-flowers are in bloom along the trails of the Bay View Woods. On a casual one-hour walk last week, more than 20 species of spring wildflowers were identified. The trillliums are on their way out but the Pink Lady Slippers are just now coming into bloom. Other highlights include the brilliant yellow Marsh Marigolds and the vibrant purple Gay Wing along the Old Indian Trail boardwalk. (Refer to “B” on the map). The board-walk through the marsh is one of the best places in the woods to see spring flowers. The marshy condi-tions along the boardwalk are ideal for many plants. Remember to stay on the trail in order to protect not only the wildflowers but yourself as well; poison ivy is also sprouting up.

Delicate, bright yellow Clintonia blooms may be seen along Deer Trail as well as a profusion of pink, yellow and white violets. Bring your camera to capture these rare moments of spring blooms while they last. (Refer to “C” on the map). Also in this vicinity a brilliant blue male Indigo Bunting was just spotted at the corner of Deer Trail and Memorial Trail late in the afternoon.

Migratory birds have passed through the woods on their way north. Now our summer residents are

here to nest. The birds of the woods are active throughout the day and eve-ning so keep your eyes and ears open. If you’re hearing a bird song high in the forest canopy, it’s most likely the Red-Eyed Vireo. A single male can sing up to 20,000 times a day!

Due to the hard winter and the wet spring, trails may be slippery and wet in places, so use caution. A portion of Old Indian Trail along Division Street is closed due for trail repair required by spring flooding (see photo below). (Refer to “A” on the map for location of problem area). Please note that other trails are not affected by this temporary closure.

Please take a few minutes to visit the woods this spring to see the beau-tiful blooms that grace the trails. The Woods Committee looks forward to keeping you updated with what’s happening in the Bay View Woods throughout the summer. See you on the trails!

The Town Crier

The 2014 Bay View Music Festival opens its chamber music series with a concert entitled At Home with Gershwin & Schumann, which begins with three Gershwin preludes, fol-lowed by selections from Bohuslav Martinu’s Kitchen Revue, and ends with a song cycle from Schumann. The concert takes place on Wednesday, June 18, at 8 p.m. in John M. Hall Auditorium on Bay View’s pictur-esque campus. All are welcome and tickets begin at just $13.50.

This concert begins with Three Preludes, a piano duet from George Gershwin. This bold and vibrant suite from 1926 fuses classical, jazz, blues and ragtime to echo the sounds and tempos of Gershwin’s percep-tions of New York City. The preludes move from a bright, jazzy B-flat to Gershwin’s “blues lullaby” with a sub-dued melody and harmonies built on

the C-sharp minor blues scale, and ends with “Agitato,” a Caribbean-influenced, question-and-answer duet in E-flat minor. The preludes, which now sound classically American, were at the time considered quite bizarre.

Following the Gershwin is a suite from Czech master Bohuslav Martinu, La Revue de Cuisine (The Kitchen Review). Martinu’s work reflects the sounds of 1920s Paris, as heard in this suite based on his ballet from 1927. The jazz-based music fol-lows the love-triangle of Pot, Lid, and Twirling Stick—soon made more complicated by coquettish Dishcloth. The use of trendy musical elements such as muted trumpets, dissonance, and the rhythm of the tango, make this piece a lively, witty complement to Gershwin’s hip, contemporary pre-ludes.

Completing the concert is Schumann’s Fraunliebe und Leben, Op. 42, which sets to music the poems of Adelbert von Chamisso. The piece reveals an evolving perspective on love and life from the thrills of first love to the pain of a loved ones’ death. Here, the melding of music and text makes this controversial piece a joyful expression of the heroine’s rich inner life.

Next week the Bay View Music Festival will present Budapest and Beethoven, a concert featuring music from Hungarian composer Endre Szervanszky and the Belgian master. The concert is the second offering in the festival’s Chamber Music Series, performed by faculty artists, and takes place at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25th in Hall Auditorium. Details to follow in next week’s Town Crier.

At Home with Gershwin & Schumann On Stage June 18th

By John P. Stakoe, Bay View Association Executive Director

The voting membership approved amendments to the Bay View Association By-Laws at the August 3, 2013 Annual Meeting that affect the voting process in 2014.

A key change is that voters will have the choice of voting electroni-cally. Simply Voting has been hired as the independent third-party elec-tion provider. The Board of Trustees authorized the use of Simply Voting at the May 23, 2014 board meeting. The voter may choose to vote by electronic ballot beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on July 14, 2014 and ending at 7 a.m. Eastern Time on August 2, 2014. You are responsible to conduct your

vote prior to the official end date and time to be officially tallied. Simply Voting is a system that ensures no more than one vote per voting mem-ber and is secure, secret, reliable and easy to use and may be audited. The voter will enter an “elector ID” and a “password” at the web site.

If the voter chooses to vote by paper ballot, that option will be avail-able from 8:30 a.m. until noon at the Annual Meeting on August 2, 2014. Also, absentee ballot requests are available now until Wednesday, July 30, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. in the Bay View Business Office. Applications for absentee ballot may be submitted by mail as well and must be postmarked by July 3, 2014. In addition, voting

members may go to the Members Only Area of the Bay View web site where you may print a PDF of the absentee ballot request form and email it to [email protected]. or fax it to 231-347-4330.

New this year is that the absentee voter application must be signed by the voter, per By-Law 70. No one may sign in receipt of an absentee ballot for any other voter.

Election deadlines are listed on page 8.
