present selections
from two operettas
from the pen of "The
March King" that had
been lost to modern

Charlatan and The
Bride Elect.
John Philip Sousa, a composer and
conductor of the late Romantic era, was
known primarily for American military
and patriotic marches. He worked as
a theater musician and conducted the
U.S. Marine Band before starting his
own civilian band in 1892. Sousa toured
with his band for 40 years, composing
136 marches, 15 operettas, 70 songs and
many other pieces. He wrote The Stars
and Stripes Forever in 1896.
"Mark your calendars for this
fascinating glimpse into a forgotten era
of American music," said Danny Phipps,
chair of Music and Dance. "Full of spirited

Foundation Collection"
EXHIBITION RECEPTION,
SEPTEMBER 30, 5-7 P.M., ART GALLERY,
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
EXHIBITED AUGUST 22-OCTOBER 31
The Barbara
and Stuart Padnos
Foundation gave 35
works of art to Grand
Valley. The pieces,
from the home of
Stuart and Barbara,
were purchased
by the couple over
decades as they
traveled and grew as
collectors. The collection includes
noted international names such as
Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Raoul Dufy
and Paul-Emile Pissarro, with American
regionalist artists Thomas Hart Benton,
Childe Hassam, Grandma Moses and
Mathias Alten.
"I'm just thrilled that we have received
this gift," said Henry Matthews, director
of Galleries and Collections. "As
collectors, these works of art reflect a
shared passion in their life journey. Stuart
and Barbara purchased art throughout
their marriage beginning with simple,
humble works of art, to the increasingly
more sophisticated. As a group, it's a
wonderful reflection of the second half
of the 20th century that spans their
life together."
