Art took center stage Sunday at Carroll Community College as three art shows opened on campus.

Maggie Ball, visual arts department chairwoman of Carroll Community College, said this was the first time the school had three openings in one day.

[…]

"Steven Dobbin: Reclamation, Variation II," opened in the Scott Center. His work features paint cans.

[…]

In the Great Hall of the college, the artist cooperative Off Track Art, which has gallery space in Westminster, displayed works with a train theme.

While some artists displayed sketches of train tracks, others did jewelry and paper cutouts.

"It challenged each of us to broaden our thinking," Mary Decker, one of the artists in the show, said.

Linda Van Hart, another member, said the Off Track Art exhibit was the center of the exhibitions, bridging the physical space between Dobbin's space and a gallery of student art.

The student art is being exhibited in the Langdon Gallery. Ball said that having the students in with the community artists and Dobbin gives them pride.

Annual Random House Carroll Community College Book Fair article by Bob Allen

New chapter for books, community college By Bob Allen

Random House Book Fair also includes movies

Posted on http://explorecarroll.com on 3/04/09

Steven Wantz, executive director of the Carroll Community College Foundation, describes the Random House Book Fair, held on the Westminster college campus for the past 11 years, as both a fund-raising and a friend-raising event.

"Over the past 12 years, it has raised over $200,000," Wantz said of the fair, which takes place Friday, March 6 and Saturday, March 7.

Proceeds from the two-day fair provide scholarships and financial aid to the college's students. In recent years, the fair has drawn about 3,500 people to the campus.

"It's an opportunity for people who have never been on our campus -- or who don't get here very often — to come out and get a peek at an institution that our county commissioners have described as 'the gem of Carroll County,' " Wantz said.

"People can come out and see what's changed and what's new here," he added. "Elements of the book fair (see related article "Books are back in town" for full schedule) are spread throughout the campus, so they get to see what's going on around the college."

Wantz said that in the past five or six years, he and his colleagues at the foundation have gone to great lengths to make the fair a family-oriented event. The Saturday schedule, for example, features a children's activities area ($2), and free events including story times, science presentations and even free children's books, while supplies last.

The emphasis, he said, is "creating a passion for reading in young people."

"There are so many activities this year for young families that you'll need at least a couple of hours to experience the whole thing," he added.

"We're hoping that at this point of the winter, people are fed up with being stuck at home and will come spend the day with us," Wantz said.

In recent years, one of the fair's most successful draws is the Friday night movie at the college's Scott Theater. This year, the Walt Disney movie "Bolt," will be featured — twice.

"We actually sold out and had to turn people away from the movie for the past two years," Wantz recalled. "So this year, we're having two showings, one at 4 p.m. and another at 7 p.m.

"Also, 'Bolt' isn't out yet on DVD, so you can come out to the college and still see it on the big screen," he added.

Wantz said it's yet another barometer of the book fair's appeal that many authors and vendors return year after year.

One of these is John Hoffert, a Hanover, Pa., resident who has written several thrillers, including "The Zero Factor," "Aphrodite's Redemption" and "The Time of Reckoning" — part of what he calls "The Lion" Series.

Hoffert has rented a table and been selling and signing copies of his books at the fair every year for the past five, and he'll be back again this year.

"It's a really good venue, and ... they don't charge vendors an exorbitant up-front fee," said Hoffert, who hopes to finish the latest novel in the Lion Series, "Pyrrhic Victory: The Lion's Wrath," later this year. (For an excerpt, visit www.JohnHoffert.com.)

"As book fairs go, it's just the right size," he added. "I was at a really big book fair in Philadelphia not too long ago, and there were hoards of people, but most of them had come to see the big-name writers. Independents like me really did get lost in the shuffle.

"It's definitely much friendlier — and much more manageable," he said.

MARVIN HAMLISCH

Marvin Hamlisch's life in music is notable for its great versatility as well as substance.

As composer, Hamlisch has won virtually every major award that exists: three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony and three Golden Globe awards; his groundbreaking show, A CHORUS LINE, received the Pulitzer Prize.

He is the composer of more than forty motion picture scores including his Oscar-winning score and song for THE WAY WE WERE and his adaptation of Scott Joplin's music for THE STING, for which he received a third Oscar. His prolific output of scores for films include original compositions and/or musical adaptations for SOPHIE'S CHOICE, ORDINARY PEOPLE, THE SWIMMER, THREE MEN AND A BABY, ICE CASTLES, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, BANANAS and SAVE THE TIGER.

Marvin Hamlisch holds the position of Principal Pops Conductor with the National Symphony Orchestra. (This is the first time that anyone has held such a position). He is also the Principal Pops Conductor for the Pittsburgh and San Diego Symphony Orchestras.

Mr. Hamlisch was Musical Director and arranger of Barbra Streisand's 1994 concert tour of the U.S. and England as well as of the television special, "Barbra Streisand: The Concert" (for which he received two of his Emmys). He served in the same capacities for her Millennium concerts.

Hamlisch is a graduate of both Juilliard and Queens College (where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree). He believes in the power of music to bring people together. "Music can make a difference. There is a global nature to music, which has the potential to bring all people together. Music is truly an international language, and I hope to contribute by widening communication as much as I can."

20061210 CCC Gala features Moscow Symphony

Carroll Community College Gala features Moscow Symphony

December 13th, 2006

Later this evening, I’m looking forward to attending a Gala for the benefit of Carroll Community College featuring the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.

Ellie Baublitz penned an excellent piece on this evening’s event the other day in the Baltimore Sun.

Carroll Community College Gala features Moscow Symphony

Orchestra to play holiday concert; members will offer classes

By Ellie Baublitz, Sun Reporter, Originally published December 10, 2006

The Russians are coming, and they will be bringing musical instruments.

The Moscow Symphony Orchestra will take the stage Wednesday at Carroll Community College's Scott Center Theater for the CCC Foundation's Partners Campaign Starry Night gala.

"The college is very excited to be bringing this cultural experience here because it is part of the strategic plan to bring cultural offerings to the college for the whole community," said Sylvia Blair, Carroll's community relations coordinator.

Billed as "an elegant, festive event," the fundraiser will begin at 6:30 p.m. with a black tie optional cocktail reception in the Great Hall, then continue with the 40-piece symphony performance at 8 p.m., Blair said.

The performance will feature a 45-minute set of selections from The Nutcracker, an intermission, then a Holiday Pops set, including the "Harry Potter Concert Suite," "Christmas Festival," "Celebrate Christmas," "Sleigh Ride," "Russian Sailors Dance from the Red," "Fantasia on Green Sleeves" and "Phantom of the Opera."
