Flagpole Dedication
2017-11-11 00:00
Veterans Day Ceremony Dedicates
Library & Music Hall’s New Flagpole
Saturday, November 11, 2017 | 2:30pm – Rain or Shine
On Veterans Day, Saturday, November 11 at 2:30 p.m., the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall will host a ceremony to dedicate its new flagpole. Though the flagpole and flag were installed in October as part of Phase I of Library Park, it seemed fitting to hold the ceremony on Veterans Day.
Joe Iacono, President of the American Legion Carnegie Post No. 82, advised the Library & Music Hall on the appropriate protocol for the dedication. Legion members will “Present the Colors” on Veterans Day. The ceremony will take place regardless of the weather.
Richard D’Loss, USMC veteran, Carnegie Councilman and Library & Music Hall Trustee will serve as emcee for the ceremony. The Very Rev. Robert Popichak will deliver the Invocation, and the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves will fire the single volley the ceremony calls for. The 9th PA Reserves is the Civil War Living History and Re-Enactment group that has worked closely with the ACFL&MH in their stewardship of its rare Civil War room, the Capt. Thos. Espy Post No.153 of the Grand Army of the Republic. Carlynton alumnus (Class of 2017) and accomplished trumpeter Tyler Smith will play the National Anthem along with two other young trumpet players, Alex Berhosky and Michael Cosnek.
The ceremony also pays tribute to Korean War veteran Robert M. Gordon. He enlisted as a 2nd lieutenant and was discharged as captain, and asserts that he truly loved being a soldier. Bob, who donated the new flagpole and flag to the Library & Music Hall, is President of Gordon Terminal Services and resides in Sewickley. However, his roots are in Carnegie. His mother’s family was the Pascoes of Pascoe Motor Company and Carnegie National Bank. In addition to his Army service, Bob served as a long time Scout Master and is an avid reader and Civil War enthusiast – two of his great grandfathers were charter members of the Espy Post. He also stepped up as Honorary Chair of the Chartiers Valley Partnership’s Campaign to restore the Library & Music Hall. Bob led by doing; he is the most generous individual donor to the ACFL&MH. He states simply, “I love my country, I love Carnegie and I love this Library.”
The flag dedication ceremony will be followed by dessert and coffee in the Lincoln Gallery. The Espy Post will remain open until 4:00 p.m.
Executive Director Maggie Forbes hopes that the Veterans Day ceremony is the first of many civic ceremonies that will take place at the flagpole and in Library Park.
For those who want to start their day early at the ACFL&MH, Tom McMillan (descendant of Thomas Espy and Vice President of Communication for the Pittsburgh Penguins) will be speaking about his new book Gettysburg Rebels at 1:00 p.m. His talk is part of the Library & Music Hall’s “Second Saturday Civil War Series.” The ACFL&MH’s Civil War programming is made possible through a grant from the Massey Charitable Trust.

Sunday, November 5, 2017 | 3:00 pm
Celebrate Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with AUTHENTIC Mexican music and culture.
Tickets
Edna Vazquez has forged a brilliant musical path from her roots in Jalisco, Mexico, the same place that gave birth mariachi music. Although the style was traditionally reserved for men,Vazquez became one of the first female mariachi vocalists and vihuela players in the Pacific Northwest. Her original material is a creative melting pot, painting an intersection of folk, rock, pop and R&B. NPR’s World Cafe said Edna showed “spectacular guitar playing and passionate, forceful vocals” and the Portland Folk Music Society calls her music “sensational Latin alternative with folkloric roots.”
Edna is currently performing with her band in support of her most recent release, “Sola Soy,” and writing new music for a 2018 release. The Edna Vazquez Band features William Seiji Marsh on lead guitar (Lost Lander, Cherry Poppin Daddies), Gil Assayas on keys (GLASYS), Jason Krivo Flores on bass and guitar (Vagabond Opera, Taarka) and Jesse Brooke on drums and percussion (Trio Subtonic).
The Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will host a pre-concert networking reception with Mexican hors d’oeuvres; photographer Layne Anderson will give a brief presentation on Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, her works and her influence on Mexican culture. The event presents an entertaining opportunity for those of Mexican and Latin American heritage to share the colorful, soulful arts of their cultures and the Day of the Dead holiday with all of the Pittsburgh community; business associates, families and people of all backgrounds are encouraged to attend.

Revered guitarist and beloved Pittsburgh icon Joe Negri returns to the Music Hall on October 7 to perform his Mass of Hope featuring the Bach Choir under the direction of Thomas Douglas. Performing with Negri are Max Leake on piano, Tony DePaolis on bass and Tom Wendt, percussion with guests Gavin Horning on guitar and Natalie Tomaro, soloist.
A Pittsburgh icon and guitar legend, Joe Negri has distinguished himself as a nationally acclaimed performer, recognized composer, renowned actor and respected educator for decades. He may be most familiar to national audiences for his 30-year tenure as the affable Handyman Negri on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood (PBS).
Now in his 10th decade, Negri began developing his Mass in the mid-1960’s, incorporating typical jazz styles with harmonies and syncopations, bringing the classic liturgy to life. In a Post-Gazette interview, Negri commented, “If you like popular music or jazz, I think you will get a lot out of it…Parts of it can even get you off your feet a little bit and get you clapping your hands.”
Doors open at 7:00 pm || Concert begins at 7:30 pm
