Cornell College Theatre Production: The Spitfire Grill
<p dir="ltr">By Fred Alley, James Valcq, and Lee David Zlotoff; directed by Caroline Price. A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill.</p><p dir="ltr">From the New York Times: "A soul satisfying … work of theatrical resourcefulness. A compelling story that flows with grace and carries the rush of anticipation. The story moves, the characters have many dimensions and their transformations are plausible and moving. The musical is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows." </p>

Cornell College Music Monday: Palisades Ensemble
<p dir="ltr">The Palisades Ensemble was founded in 1992 by conductor Martin Hearne and presented its first performance at the 93rd Annual May Music Festival on the campus of Cornell College. That performance consisted of works by Stravinsky, Strauss and Dvořák. The group has returned many times to the festival and those later performances included works of Beethoven, Copland, Mahler, Weill and most recently Mozart’s Gran Partita, one of the most important works in the chamber music genre. The ensemble is comprised of the finest instrumental musicians in the upper Midwest, who come from the many regional orchestras that are part of the cultural life of Iowa. </p>

Cornell College Music Monday: Amara Piano Quartet
<p dir="ltr">The<a href="https://rilearts.com/ensembles/amara-piano-quartet/"> Amara Piano Quartet</a> is the successor to the Ames Piano Quartet, whose distinguished performing history spanned the last thirty-six years. Upon the retirement of two of its original members in 2012, the Quartet was renamed “Amara,” a name connoting mythic paradise in Abyssinian.</p><p dir="ltr">The Amara Quartet performs the masterpieces from the standard repertoire as well as new music (the group’s new recording of the two Faure Piano Quartets is scheduled for release in August 2018.) It also continues to research unjustly neglected piano quartets from the past. Like its predecessor the Ames Piano Quartet, the Amara performs little-known gems such as the Suk Piano Quartet, the Frank Bridge Phantasy, the Herbert Howells Piano Quartet, and similar. The Amara Piano Quartet is managed by Joanne Rile Artists Management, of Philadelphia.</p>
