Composer and pianist Nahre Sol, ties together the evening’s musical mosaic with the premier of six commissioned “miniatures.” Performed as bridges between other works in the program, her composition pays homage to the Library & Music Hall, the Steelers, Mister Rogers and our City of Bridges.
A lively after-theater supper throughout the ACFL&MH’s beautiful historic landmark facility follows the performance.
MOSAIC! Carnegies in Concert…Again benefits the campaign to restore and revitalize the historic landmark Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall.

Tickets
The Pittsburgh Savoyards Presents Gilbert & Sullivan’s, The Yeomen of the Guard. The only tragedy ever written by G & S!!!
The Yeomen of the Guard, or The Merryman and His Maid is Gilbert and Sullivan’s sparkling comic opera set in Shakespearean times during the reign of King Henry VIII. It is the darkest and most emotionally engaging of the Savoy Operas. The show takes place in the Tower of London where the gentleman Colonel Fairfax is wrongly accused of sorcery and sentenced to death within the hour. Fairfax hatches a plan to avoid letting his estate fall into the hands of his scheming cousin (incidentally, his accuser) by secretly marrying Elsie Maynard, a strolling singer. She agrees to be blindfolded during the ceremony and expects to be a wealthy widow upon Fairfax’s imminent demise, leaving her free to marry her lover, the jester Jack Point. However, Fairfax miraculously escapes his fate and chaos ensues. Come and enjoy what is considered Sullivan’s best musical score with a full orchestra and laugh and weep during this jolly romp!

Lincoln and Grant Kenneth J. Serfass as Ulysses S. Grant
2018-10-13 00:00
Lincoln and Grant
Kenneth J. Serfass as Ulysses S. Grant
Saturday, October 13, 2018 – 1:00 – 2:30 PM

Join Ulysses S. Grant (portrayed by Kenneth J. Serfass) for an informative conversation on his elationship with President, Abraham Lincoln.
In a May 26, 1863 letter to Isaac Arnold, Abraham Lincoln referred to Grant’s possible capture of Vicksburg, saying, “his campaign from the beginning of this month up to the twenty second day of it, is one of the most brilliant in the world.” And thus began an unusual friendship. Lincoln and Grant developed a working relationship in which each was comfortable with his and the other’s role.
It is with a profound honor that he tells the story of one of America’s greatest military leaders and Ken takes it very seriously to reaffirm Grant’s place of honor among the most respected people of our nation’s history. His passion for the subject is evident in his presentation, and it is hard not to be affected by his enthusiasm for his subject and believe that you’ve met US Grant in living history.
Light refreshments served. 2nd Saturday Lecture Series made possible by the Massey Charitable Trust.

The Harlem Hellfighters were as renowned for their musicianship as their battlefield prowess. Arranger, composer, union organizer, and Army National Guard Lieutenant, James Reese Europe led his band to Carnegie Hall and on the Western Front. Europe played an extraordinary role in introducing jazz to both New York and the European continent.

Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, this award-winning classic gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway. Gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged far too long. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown as a result. Frank Loesser’s brassy, immortal score takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser ; Book by Abe Burrows & Jo Swerling

2nd Saturday Lecture: The Wounding of James Longstreet Speaker: Kristopher D. White

The Wounding of James Longstreet
Speaker: Kristopher D. White
Saturday, November 10, 2018 1:00 – 2:30 PM
Felled by Friendly Fire: the Wounding of James Longstreet
“Old Pete,” Lee’s second-in-command, was a stalwart that the “Gray Fox” relied on as the 1864 campaigns opened. However, just hours after Longstreet saved Lee’s army along the Orange Plank Road in the Wilderness, tragedy struck. While riding along the road during an audacious and successful flank attack, Longstreet, like Stonewall Jackson, was accidentally shot by his own men, less than three miles from the spot of Jackson’s fateful wounding. Longstreet’s wounding, like Jackson’s, forever changed the face of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Kristopher D. White is the co-founder of Emerging Civil War, the author of numerous books and publications, and is Education Manager at the American Battlefield Trust in Washington, DC.
Light refreshments served. 2nd Saturday Lecture Series made possible by the Massey Charitable Trust.

Gettysburg: The Meaning and Legacy

Speaker: David Albert
Saturday, February 9, 2019 1:00 – 2:30 PM
The Meaning and Legacy of Gettysburg
The battle of Gettysburg seems to hold a special place in people’s minds when it comes to the Civil War. Even people who know little else about the war seem to be aware of and moved by the name Gettysburg. Why?
David Albert is a retired Air Force officer who has had an interest in the Civil War since he was a teenager. He co-taught the Civil War elective at Air Command and Staff College and served as a Civil War docent at the Alabama Department of Archives and History for ten years.
He taught a course on the Life of the Civil War Soldier for the Elderhostel Program (now called Road Scholars) and for the University of North Carolina, Asheville’s College for Seniors. He currently teaches the same course, as well as courses on the Gettysburg Campaign and the Antietam Campaign, for the Osher Lifetime Learning Institute at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. David is a member of the Greater Pittsburgh Civil War Roundtable.
Mr. Albert’s talk will attempt to explain why he believes this battle still maintains such an enduring legacy in the national psyche even 156 years later.
Location: Lecture will be held in the Studio
Light refreshments served. Registration not required; free and open to the public.
