Historical Lecture Series: Finding a Place of Origin for Your Irish Ancestor

Anyone who has an Irish ancestor in their family tree is usually eager to find out just where in Ireland they came from. This can be a very difficult task for researchers, especially those of the famine era (1840's - 1860's).

PodCamp Western Mass 4

PodCamp WesternMass 4

Saturday, February 25, 2012

The Kittredge Center, Holyoke Community College, Holyoke, MA
When: Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 9:30 am to 4:30 pm

Where: Holyoke Commuity College, Kittredge Center, 303 Homestead Avenue, Holyoke, MA 01040

Tickets are $30 plus processing, or $10 with a valid student ID, and include all day at PCWM4, lunch and a commemorative PCWM4 Tee-Shirt for pre-registrants!

PodCamp is an un-conference about social media and online networking. It is an open and collaborative event with discussions and interaction from attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join. Some sessions will be planned ahead of the event, but plenty of spaces will be open for the topics YOU want to discuss and learn. Tickets are $30 ($10 for students), but all are expected to participate and/or present. You can participate by giving a presentation, demo, or joining into another cooperative event, being on a panel/roundtable, or in other ways helping out on event day.

PodCamp is NOT just about podcasting, but about all social media/networking, and its relevance and usefulness to community, business and otherwise. This PodCamp is all about blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, podcasting, videocasting/YouTube, and any other online community tools.

Western Mass entered the Social Media age with the inaugural PodCamp WesternMass in early 2009. We have a thriving community here of some truly amazing people. This is a chance for Western Mass bloggers, business people, artists, and academics, to get together, make connections, and for everyone to learn how social media can enhance their business, cause or organization. This is also a chance to celebrate the cornucopia of Western Mass. culture, a joyous blend of urban and rural; business, artistic and academic; near enough to other large metro areas, but small enough to hear yourself think.

There will also be a Post-PodCamp Party on Saturday after the event. Location TBD!

Chamber Music Society at Wistariahurst: Aventuras Latinas

Wistariahurst will host the return of the society's fine musicians to perform fresh pieces of music and one repeat masterpiece: Heitor Villa Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, a haunting and hummable piece for soprano and eight cellos that is rarely heard in live performance--presumably because eight cellos aren't easy to round up. Astrid Schween, professor of cello at UMASS-Amnherst and a nationally acclaimed cell soloist, will lead the piece with seven of her students, with the radiant soprano, Junko Watanabe, again as the soloist.

The program will also feature Duo Fusiòn, the flute and guitar team of Sarah Swersey and Joe Belmont, in Pujol's dancing "Suite Buenos Aires." The distinguished Argentina-born pianist Estela Olevsky will perform solo piano works by A. Ginastera, and Ms. Olevsky and Ms Schween will collaborate in A. Piazzolla's passionate "Gran Tango." As a finale, the UMASS cello ensemble under Ms. Schween will perform the first two movements of Villa Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras. No. 1.
