The Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra is coming to Buhl, MN!

This project was funded in part or in whole with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008, which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage.

Buhl, MN – Join musicians from the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra in an intimate setting as they bring the music to YOU on Friday, March 12th!

Audience: All ages

Where: Buhl Public Library

Date: March 12th, 2010

Time: 2:30PM-3:15PM

Site Contact Person: Sara Samuelson, (218)258-3391

The DSSO Music to You Programs educate, entertain and inspire listeners. Focused on engaging musical themes and topics, they include musical performances, audience dialogue and a refreshing new look at the world of music!

Program Title: “Thanks for the Memories”

Musicians: Nicole Craycraft-Violin, Laurie Bastian-Violin, Kevin Hoeschen-Viola, Rebecca Peterson-Cello

The string quartet explores the connection between music and memory in a decade-by-decade journey through American music. With music ranging from the ragtime of Scott Joplin through the more contemporary music of the Beatles and Coldplay, this ensemble is sure to bring back memories!

Music is much more than just notes! Just as a photo or a particular smell can elicit vivid memories, music can connect us with special times from our past.

Music To You brings Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra musicians into the community—to organizations, living centers, schools and work sites, with an emphasis on serving those who would not otherwise hear live, classical music.

Contact Jessica Leibfried at 218-623-3785 or email jleibfried@dsso.com for more information. More about the Music to You Programs can be found at: www.dsso.com

The Music to You program is generously supported by the Arrowhead Library System, A.H. Zeppa Family Foundation, the JNM Gift Trust, and the Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation.

Dimensional Embroidery

2009-05-01T10:48:00.003-05:00

Kay Paczkowsky displayed some of her Dimensional Embroidery at the Buhl Public Library during National Library Week! This is how she describes her embroidery process:
The threads I use consist of fine silks or wools that come from Australia. The majority of my work is done with silk. I begin a piece by thinking about what I want to make, sketch it, and choose my threads and beads. I draw the flower petals, leaves, and all pieces that will stand away from the background fabric and trace, cut, and mount them on wool felt. All stitches are very small and done by hand. After I stitch around each piece I couch a very fine gauge wire over the stitches. Working over the wire, I make long and short stitches filling in each piece with a multitude of tiny stitches, shading as I go. Each petal can take from two to five hours depending on its size and intricacy. When the petals are completed for a flower, I cut them outside the wire edge and stitch them into the desired flower shape and bend and mold them. The centers of the flowers are then finished with decorative stitches and beads. When all pieces are completed I place them on the background fabric and arrange my design. I stitch any background detail on the fabric and then attach the dimensional pieces. A completed picture can take up to four hundred or more hours to finish depending on its size and intricacy. My finished product never turns out exactly like my original idea, but keeps changing as I work. A great deal of the fun is not knowing what I will end up with and being surprised at the outcome.
