SUMMARY:Thomas DeFisher: Die schöne Müllerin
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Thomas DeFisher takes center stage at historic Gates Hall\, performing Die schöne Müllerin. Built in 1825\, the hall provides a perfect ambiance for this romantic 1823 story of a young miller\, a wandering stream\, and unrequited love. \nDie schöne Müllerin is a cycle of twenty songs composed by Austrian composer Franz Schubert with poems selected from German poet Wilhelm Müller. The romantic story follows a young miller who befriends a brook which leads him to a mill. He falls madly in love with the miller’s beautiful daughter\, but his love is found to be unrequited as she eventually rejects him in favor of a hunter. In despair\, the young miller wades into the brook that has been his companion throughout the cycle and drowns himself. \nThomas DeFisher is a graduate of the Williamson Central School District and a rising junior at Wheaton College Conservatory of Music in Wheaton\, IL. His performance is not to be missed! \nDie schöne Müllerin\, D 795\, op. 24 The Fair Maiden of the Mill \nProceeds from the concert will benefit the Gates Hall Preservation Fund. We are grateful for Thomas’s talent and generosity.

SUMMARY:Bring in 2024 with Eclipse Speaker on January 3rd
DESCRIPTION:Pultneyville\, NY . . . The Williamson-Pultneyville Historical Society (W-PHS) invites members\, neighbors\, friends and the greater community to start the new year out with a Total Solar Eclipse Program offering insights to the April 8\, 2024 Eclipse event. Such events are worthy of being observed and celebrated as they have long been credited by some for their intrigue and by others for contributing to major advances in the history of science. \nOn January 3rd\, W-PHS will host Eclipse speaker\, expert and enthusiast\, Debra Ross\, Chair of the Rochester Eclipse Force and Co-Chair of the National Eclipse Task Force. Ross will share her knowledge about the April 8th Eclipse and inspire attendees to become involved in this once in a lifetime event. \nWitnessing a total solar eclipse is a rare opportunity as they generally occur only once every 100 years. Wayne County\, along with the greater Rochester area\, lies within the path of totality on April 8th. Ross encourages others to make plans for this history-in-the-making event as the sun passes over the moon\, surrounding those in its direct path in total darkness for nearly 3 1/2 minutes and to create their own eclipse story which will go down in history. \nRoss is knowledgeable and passionate about the April event which promises to be both a teaching and learning experience. It is more than likely to be the biggest event and attraction of the year in Wayne County with more than 50\,000 visitors expected in the area in early April. \nBring in 2024 learning about the Eclipse\, its path\, what to expect\, opportunities that it brings to our region . . . and more! As excitement builds\, start thinking about your plans to make your own story which will become part of history to be shared with future generations. \nThe Total Eclipse Program sponsored by W-PHS is free and open to the public on Wednesday\, January 3rd at 7pm. All are invited to attend this special presentation which will be held at historic Gates Hall . . . a community gathering place and America’s oldest continuously active small community theatre venue located at 4107 Lake Road\, Pultneyville.

SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivor\, Samuel Rind\, Shares His Remarkable Journey: Nov. 8\, 2023\, 7 p.m.
DESCRIPTION:Author of “A Tribute to Mom: We Survived Together” \nNov. 8\, 2023\, 7 p.m. \nJoin us in Gates Hall and learn about the incredible life journey of Samuel Rind\, a Jewish Holocaust survivor\, as he shares his story of courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest times. \nBorn in Krasnobród\, Poland\, Samuel faced unimaginable challenges when the Nazis invaded his homeland. The Rind family was torn apart as they sought to escape the clutches of the Nazi regime. Among those who embarked on this harrowing journey were Samuel\, his mother\, father\, younger brother\, aunt\, and her three children. Tragically\, only Samuel and his mother survived. \nDespite the war’s end\, Samuel and his mother faced more challenges\, being denied entry to the United States\, where one of Samuel’s uncles resided. Their journey then led them to Bolivia\, where they sought refuge with another of Samuel’s uncles. In 1960\, Samuel was able to pursue higher education in the U.S.\, attending college in Buffalo. After completing his studies\, he returned to Bolivia and began a career as an optician. \nIn 1967\, a new chapter unfolded as Samuel married Gabriela\, and the couple moved to Rochester\, NY. They raised a son and daughter\, and Samuel’s mother joined them in the 1990s\, living to the age of 93 and seeing her grandchildren grow into their twenties. \nDon’t miss this extraordinary chance to hear Samuel Rind’s firsthand account of triumph over adversity. His story is a powerful reminder of the human spirit’s strength and the importance of sharing such stories to inspire generations to come. \n“As a child survivor of the Holocaust\, Sam Rind’s story is especially relevant to new generations of young people—teaching them about the resilience of the human spirit. The power to grow up and be a productive member of society\, despite the trauma of his early years\, is inspirational.” —Bonnie Abrams\, Director\, Center for Holocaust Awareness and Information\, Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester\, NY \n“Sam Rind’s story of survival and\, just as importantly\, his willingness to share it in person\, is both commendable and critical in humanity’s fight to ‘Never Forget.’ His putting words on paper for posterity and the education of future generations will further the reach of his firsthand account of the atrocities of the Holocaust and focus the unimaginable to promote understanding.” Rabbi Leonard Bitran\, Temple Beth El\, Rochester\, NY
