The Baltimore Consort, an acclaimed early music ensemble, will perform a selection of early Scottish music.

Founded in 1980 to perform the instrumental music of Shakespeare’s time, The Baltimore Consort has explored English, Scottish and French popular music of the 16th to 18th centuries, focusing on the relationship between folk and art music. Recordings on the Dorian label have earned them recognition as Billboard’s Top Classical-Crossover Artist of the Year, as well as rave reviews elsewhere.

The Dan C. and Sidney Childs West Endowment was established by Dr. and Mrs. West in May 1981 for the purpose of offering live musical performances or stringed instrument instruction at Lyon College. The West Concert Endowment has supported free concerts on campus by fine musicians such as Trio Cassatt, The Quapaw Quartet and the Guild Trio. Dr. West was president of Lyon College from 1972 to 1988.

Bellingrath Wing ribbon cutting ceremony held The public was invited to tour Lyon College’s new state-of-the art Bellingrath Wing of the Derby Center for Science and Mathematics at a grand opening January 24. Participating in the ceremony were (from left) Dr. Sally Browder, associate professor of psychology; Mr. Ferd Bellingrath, former trustee; Mrs. Sis Bellingrath; Mr. Larry Derby, board of trustees member; Mr. Ray LaCroix, building and grounds committee chairman - board of trustees; President Dr. Walter Roettger, Emilie Brady, SGA president; and Dr. Mark Schram, associate professor of biology .

The exhibition, called “About Face,” is from the portrait collection of Jackye and Curtis Finch Jr. of Little Rock. About 25 drawings by outstanding 20th century artists will be on display.

An opening reception will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 4, in Kresge Gallery, in the Alphin Building. Mrs. Finch is expected to be a special guest at the reception.

Townsend Wolfe, former director of the Arts Centers, has said, “The collection explores not only the face as an image, but more importantly, as a means to better understand the world of drawings and art. We are challenged to grasp both the character and the humanity of the subjects as well as that of the artist.”

The works on paper are drawn with a variety of tools and materials, including pen and ink, graphite, watercolor, conte’ crayon, oil stick and silverpoint.

Mr. Finch, a retired Little Rock businessman, began collecting drawings more than 20 years ago when he was a trustee of the Arts Center. The works that will be on display at Lyon are only a representative sampling of the Finches’ larger collection.

Kresge Gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Congrats to Peggy - we will miss you A reception was held last week for Peggy Mitchell, Institutional Advancement’s manager of prospect research. Peggy has accepted a research analyst job with the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Foundation in Little Rock. She began her new duties on Monday, and is grateful for the opportunity to be able to make a difference in children’s lives. We know she will, because she has made a difference in ours.
