HEADLINES: Blue Ridge Elementary Views Asian Art Last month, fourth grade students at Blue Ridge Elementary enjoyed a talk on Asian Art by Binghamton Art Museum Education Curator, Sylvia Ivanova. Mrs. Ivanova, who takes museum pieces into the classrooms as part of her “Art in a Suitcase” program, presented and discussed Asian watercolors and Ukiyoe woodblock prints. The students were able to closely look at works of art that were created over 700 years ago by significant Japanese artists, and understand how the artists developed their ideas into visual representations.

The students will exhibit their art projects at their annual Art Exhibit and Concert at 6:30 p.m. on April 28 at Blue Ridge High School auditorium and lobby. There is no charge, and the community is welcome to attend.

What do Cairo, Egypt; Broadway, New York; and Blue Ridge High School have in common? One would think, “Very little,” but audiences will understand when the Blue Ridge Musical Theatre Department once again offers them an opportunity to be charmed by the talent of its performers as it stages one of the first off Broadway performances of “Aida.” Originally a Verdi opera, the show fell into the hands of Broadway lyricist Tim Rice and Rock Composer Elton John, who transformed it into a theatrical sensation.
Pictured (l-r) are: Aida (Jessica Williams), Radames (Joseph Bednarchik), Amneris (Maria Fancher). On April 15 and 16 at 7:00, and April 17 at 3:00 in the Blue Ridge District Theatre, audiences will travel to Ancient Egypt and witness the story of Radames, a captain of an Egyptian army, who captures Aida, a Nubian princess. Although Radames, through a plot of his father Zoser, is next in line for the Pharaoh’s throne and is betrothed to Princess Amneris, that becomes secondary to him as he falls in love with the captured Aida. Allow yourselves to be charmed by the story, the music, the choreography and the talent of these young people. Tickets will be available at the door, $5.00/adults and $3.00/students.
