SUMMARY:Adult Book Club- The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
DESCRIPTION:The Adult Book Club will meet on May 8 at 5:30 pm to discuss The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Copies of the book may be checked out at the front desk. \n  \n\nEsther Greenwood is brilliant\, beautiful\, enormously talented\, and successful\, but slowly going under—maybe for the last time. In her acclaimed and enduring masterwork\, Sylvia Plath brilliantly draws the reader into Esther’s breakdown with such intensity that her insanity becomes palpably real\, even rational—as accessible an experience as going to the movies. A deep penetration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the human psyche\, The Bell Jar is an extraordinary accomplishment and a haunting American classic.

SUMMARY:Onstage Orange City: Kelley Hunt brings blues\, roots & gospel July 1
DESCRIPTION:Beloved Blues Singer Kelley Hunt Returns to Orange City for Free Outdoor Concert \nBack by Popular Demand\, Kelley Hunt and Her Band Bring Blues\, Roots and Gospel Music to Northwest Iowa \nSinger Kelley Hunt is bringing her soul-filled performance back to Orange City with a free concert in Windmill Park on Wednesday\, July 1 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. \nHunt is a triple threat — attracting fans as she writes\, arranges and plays her energetic\, southern-style music. She performed with her band in Orange City three years ago\, leaving a lasting impression. Her Iowa fan base is thrilled to welcome the powerhouse singer-songwriter back. \n“She has drawn quite the following\,” says Jane Vogel of Birdhouse Rentals\, co-sponsor of the Onstage Orange City concert. “Her music has an uplifting message\, and it draws all ages. It’s the kind of music you want to get up and dance to.” \nHunt’s tour stop will feature boogie-worthy new music from “The Beautiful Bones” — her sixth album. \nShe describes her toe-tapping tunes as a combination of blues\, roots\, Americana and R&B. \n“A lot of it is upbeat with a few ballads. I’m really influenced by traditional gospel music\, and most of the things are pretty uplifting and high energy\,” Hunt says.\n \nHunt’s music has wide-reaching appeal. \n“As a family\, we’ve been following Kelley Hunt for 15 years\,” says Lisa Burg of Orange City. Burg’s employer — Orange City Area Health System — is a co-sponsor of the concert. “Our children became fans. She’s an incredible singer. Everything she has produced we’ve loved. She has a huge range\, is an amazing keyboardist\, and truly crosses generations.” \nHunt’s performances draw fans from across the country. She has appeared six times on American Public Media’s A Prairie Home Companion and is currently embarking on a national tour.\nBut there’s just something about Orange City that draws her back. \n“I’m really looking forward to coming — it’s a nice community with a beautiful setting\,” Hunt says. “I know several people in Orange City\, and I’m excited for the band to see it. Plus\, I want to get some almond patties!” \nThe concert is part of Orange City Arts’ Onstage Orange City summer concert series. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to the outdoor concert. \nUnity Christian Knight Center in Orange City is the event’s rain location. For changes related to the weather or more information\, visit orangecityarts.net or facebook.com/ocArts\, email ocArts@orangecityiowa.com or call 712.707.4885. \nListen:    http://kelleyhunt.com/audio.html

SUMMARY:Onstage Orange City: Festival Latino
DESCRIPTION:Festival Latino — a free outdoor event highlighting Hispanic heritage — will fill Orange City’s Windmill Park from 5 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday\, June 24. The event is part of Orange City Arts’ Onstage Orange City summer series. \nThe fourth annual community-wide festival will feature authentic Latin cuisine\, an interactive kids’ zone featuring free crafts and activities\, and live music from internationally-known Latin fusion band Tropicante. \n“The Hispanic population has begun to be an important part of the Orange City community\, and it’s important to have shared spaces where we can learn to understand each other and learn about each other’s cultures\,” says Olga Alvarado\, an Orange City Arts board member of Colombian descent who helped plan the event. \nWith nearly 10 percent of Sioux County identifying as Hispanic according to the 2013 Census\, the event aims to foster deeper cultural understanding while providing top-notch food and quality entertainment. \nTropicante\, an energetic Latin-style band led by singers Ed East (Panamanian) and Karin Stein (Colombian)\, will have attendees dancing cumbias\, merengues\, sambas and other irresistible Latin rhythms. \n“Our principal goal is always to have people’s minds opened to the diversity of Latin American cultures through a beautiful\, fun medium — music\,” Stein said. \nStein and East will host a free\, all-ages interactive percussion workshop at 6:15 p.m. before their performance at 7 p.m. \nSeparate from the larger band\, the duo (known as Calle Sur\, right) will also provide a free children’s workshop for grades kindergarten through fifth at 1 pm at the Orange City Public Library. The participants will make simple instruments\, sing\, dance\, and act their way through a Brazilian rain forest. \nFree transportation from Sioux Center will be available. A bus will leave the Centre Mall parking lot at 6 and 6:30 p.m.\, with rides returning from Orange City back to Sioux Center at 8:30 and 9 p.m. \nHarold Heie\, chair of the Festival Latino planning team and chair of CASA (Center for Assistance\, Service\, and Advocacy)\, says Festival Latino is a collaborative effort that aims to bring people together. \n“Part of it is just getting to know one another\,” Heie says. “When you get to know people\, things always change.” \nAttendees are invited to wear traditional clothing from their country of origin. \nFestival Latino made possible by CASA\, Center Fresh Group\, Hands Around the World\, Natural Food Holdings\, Birdhouse Rentals\, Western Iowa Dairy Alliance and Al & Carol Kramer\, in conjunction with Orange City Arts. \nUnity Christian Knight Center in Orange City is the event’s rain location. For changes related to the weather\, visit orangecityarts.net or facebook.com/ocArts.\nBring lawn chairs or blankets.

SUMMARY:Onstage Orange City: Summer Suites
DESCRIPTION:ORANGE CITY – Orange City Arts’ annual celebration of flowering gardens\, music\, art – and irresistible sweets – is coming soon. The 2015 Summer Suites will be held Wednesday\, June 10 in three backyard gardens in Orange City. \nThe event begins at 6:30 p.m. \nThe “progressive concert” will feature The Copoetics of Sioux Falls\, the Le Mars Flute Choir and several visual artists working while the public watches\, with violinist Bethany Dykstra gracing that garden with music. \n• The Copoetics — Dan Finch and Louisa Soli-Holt — invite Summer Suites guests to enjoy their guitar and ukelele\, and Louisa’s “strikingly clear and penetrating voice.” A few years ago\, both left South Dakota for Denver; both taught secondary school; both adored The Grateful Dead and Joni Mitchell. But Louisa’s heart was captured by Dan\, the 5-string ukelele and most recently\, their newborn son. The couple\, now living in Sioux Falls\, has traveled 10\,000 miles\, performing across the American West and educating many people on the differences between North Dakota and South Dakota. \nTheir name\, The Copoetics? “It represents the collective poems of life we all share and create every day\,” said Louisa.  http://thecopoetics.com \n• The Le Mars Flute Choir brings together flutists from Le Mars\, Marcus\, Sioux City and Orange City… and performs all kinds of music\, from grand flute quartets to jazz. Watch for C flutes\, G flutes and piccolos. \nFor Summer Suites\, the seven-member choir will play a lovely variety\, including Irish lilts\, a rag\, Camptown Races\, a light classical piece by Boyce and the fun Little Red Monkey by Jordan. Another Summer Suites performance on June 10 is the Le Mars Flu \nLeft to right are Kathy Moore\, Sue Ashenfelter and Dr. James Schroeder of Le Mars; Lynn Gross of Sioux City; Glenda Drennen of Le Mars; June Palleson of Marcus; and Donna Mortenson of Orange City. \n• Visual artists\, with violinist Bethany Dykstra\, will grace the third garden. While attendees watch\, seven visual artists will work.  Bethany Dykstra\, who has played violin for 11 years as part of eight honor orchestras and now the Northwestern College Chamber Orchestra\, will perform pieces by Ten Have\, Handel and Bach\, accompanied by Kate Noteboom. \nVisual artists: Emilee Berry sat on a poppy-covered stone staircase in Greece\, and discovered the connection between the “light\, organic feel of nature” and hard\, rough architecture. So she loves both strong lines and repetition\, and movement and texture. A recent award-winning art graduate from Northwestern College\, originally from Battle Creek\, she does sculpture\, printmaking and photography\, and will paint at Summer Suites. \nMary Jane Davidson\, of Manitoba—and now Sioux City\, comes from a family of artists\, and learned about painting/ dying on silk from her sister. She stretches white silk\, then hand-paints\, using a variety of methods. Some are unpredictable designs\, others complex and defined\, with the help of gutta or soy wax resists. Many of Davidson’s paintings are on silk scarves. \nRon Erickson\, of Remsen\, has been woodturning for 15 years\, using wood from fallen trees to create bowls\, Christmas ornaments and small boxes. He loves trying new things. It’s a hobby\, so he doesn’t advertise\, but he has exhibited his work in Spencer and Storm Lake. We’re lucky to have Erickson for Summer Suites\, since his June through August priority is not woodturning\, but golf. \nLynne Hubers\, of Orange City\, learned to quilt from a friend in ’97\, and hasn’t looked back. She loves choosing colors\, working with beautiful fabrics\, and designing. She enjoys geometric quilting\, appreciates the finesse of traditional quilting\, and especially likes the slow pace of appliqué work. She’s done one hand-quilted wallhanging — otherwise it’s machine quilting and piecing for Hubers. \n\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMarena Nachtigall\, a SE Iowa native\, studied art at Hesston and Bethel Colleges in Kansas\, graduating in ’03. She opened Earth & Art\, ceramics and floral design in Noble. Functional wheel-thrown ceramics is the basis for her work\, with an emphasis on carved and beaded embellishments. Currently Nachtigall and her family live in Orange City. \n \n  \nLauren and Barb Ochsner have spent a combined 50-plus years on custom glasswork and framing\, from their shop — Golden Prairie Art — of Maurice. They have designed and created stained glass for many area churches\, plus Prairie Winds\, the Dordt College library and Orange City Area Health System. They will demonstrate processes in creating stained glass art. \n  \nJudy Thompson\, watercolor artist originally from Chicago and now Orange City\, painted the cover art for the recently published Laura Ingalls Wilder autobiography. Her art has been exhibited across the Midwest\, and she has done many artist residencies\, including two at national parks. Acclaimed as “capturing a sense of place\,” Thompsons’ recent work includes her “Homestead Series.” \nSome artists will offer their art for sale at Summer Suites. \nSummer Suites will be held in the backyard gardens of Sally and Laird Edman (featuring The Copoetics)\, Jodi and Kent McDonough (visual artists and violinist Bethany Dykstra) and Anita and Jack Vogel (Le Mars Flute Choir). \nThe event\, part of the Onstage Orange City series\, is sponsored by Orange City Arts. Instead of a show in Windmill Park\, the event happens in three backyards. \nAdvance tickets are necessary\, at $10 for adults and $7 for students if purchased by June 6 at the Orange City Arts office\, Orange City town hall and Dove Christian Book Store. After June 6\, tickets are $13 and $10. Maps and schedules are provided to ticket purchasers. Rain location will be the Northwestern College DeWitt Theatre. \nSpecial thanks go to Sodexo of Northwestern College and Orange City Floral Company. \nFor more information\, contact Orange City Arts\, 712-707-6514 or ocArts@orangecityiowa.com \n \n\n \nSponsor: Orange City Arts

SUMMARY:Onstage Orange City: Moon Hooch
DESCRIPTION:Moon Hooch — an energetic trio with genre-bending music — is performing a free show Wed.\, June 3\, at 7 p.m. at Windmill Park in Orange City. \nWhen Orange City Arts members heard locals buzzing about the band’s unique sound — two souped-up saxophones and a drum — they knew they had to see if they’d perform for the Onstage Orange City series. \nSteve Mahr\, co-owner of The Old Factory\, became entranced with the band’s wailing sax and staccato snare after watching them perform in NPR’s popular Tiny Desk Concert series. \n“I’m not sure what others’ responses are\, seeing a wild man blowing the sax with a traffic cone as a mute – but mine was love at first sight\,” Mahr said. \nHis enthusiasm for the “cave music” band spread to Janine Calsbeek\, director of Orange City Arts\, who reached out to the band’s reps. \nTo her surprise\, Moon Hooch — comprised of saxophonists Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen\, and drummer James Muschler — had an open date available on their tour from Ohio to Minnesota\, and were interested in making a pit stop in Iowa. \nThere was just one minor caveat — Orange City Arts had to drum up the funds to keep the show free. Mahr stepped in to help fundraise\, and Old Factory Coffee Shop\, along with Orange City’s Quatro Composites™\, joined as corporate sponsors for the free outdoor event. \nThe concert is open to all ages\, and the original\, unexpected tunes are sure to wow the young — and young at heart. But to describe the band’s sound? That’s a tough one. They have an inventive style all their own — something between jazz and dubstep\, with a rock-vibe for good measure. \nEach band member studied in New York at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. Their stylistic choices — like using modified saxophones to create pulsing beats — creates indescribable music. \nThe band (which provides soundtracks for famously epic NYC subway dance parties\, according to The New Yorker) describes their work “like house music\, but more wild\, more jagged\, more free\, more natural to live in.” \nMoon Hooch got its start playing on subway platforms\, and quickly grew a devoted fanbase that led to a national tour with They Might Be Giants\, and multiple gigs on the festival circuit. \n“Moon Hooch is amazing! They’re over the top\,” Calsbeek said. “Very energetic and crazy. Their music is not for the faint of heart — it’s something different and I think it’ll be appealing to a lot of ages.” \nJudging from previous shows\, Moon Hooch’s power-packed performance promises to get audience members talking — and maybe even dancing out of their seats. Attendees are invited to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. Concessions will be available for purchase. \n“This is going to be something different\,” Calsbeek says. “Orange City Arts has never had anything like Moon Hooch.” \nThe Orange City Town Hall is the event’s rain location.

SUMMARY:Classical guitarist Peter Fletcher: October 3
DESCRIPTION:ORANGE CITY – Acclaimed classical guitarist Peter Fletcher will perform in Orange City Friday\, October 3 at 7:00pm at the Orange City Public Library\, part of a nationwide tour. \nFletcher began guitar study at age seven\, and a few years later\, spent a week in a master class with José Tomás\, assistant teacher to Andrés Segovia. Fletcher\, at age 12\, was the youngest student to perform. He earned his masters in music from the Eastman School of Music\, under Nicholas Goluses. \nHe has performed across the country\, making his New York debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in ’07\, and\, in 2010\, playing to a sold-out crowd. \nFletcher’s many recordings include Federico Mompou: Guitar Works. In Barcelona\, when Fletcher performed for Mompou’s widow\, Carmen Bravo\, she commented on Fletcher’s “high technical level” and “refined sensibility.” \nHis most recent album features the music of Edvard Grieg\, transcribed by Fletcher. His October 3 program will feature music by Grieg\, Praetorius\, Frescobaldi\, and Villa-Lobos plus Jesu\, Joy of Man’s Desiring by Bach\, Fandango by Spanish composer Rodrigo\, and Four Catalan Folksongs by Llobet. \nHe also performs the traditional Shaker hymn\, Simple Gifts. The last half of this guitar setting modulates down a step to C major. To accommodate this key change\, the bass string of the instrument must be tuned down one whole step in performance\, producing a sound reminiscent of a country fiddler. \nThe final work on the program will feature Fletcher’s transcription of Paganini’s dazzling Caprice no. 24. \nReviewers of Fletcher’s music have been effusive: “Lush and intricately detailed.” “Bold interpretive imagination.” “Shimmering technique.” “Vibrant!” “A stand-out in the classical guitar world.” \nHear and read more about Fletcher at peterfletcher.com or phone 712-707-4885. \nIn fall 2010\, Fletcher performed in Orange City to a full house. This intimate concert is a joint venture of the Orange City Arts Council and Orange City Public Library\, and will be held in the main library area\, after regular library hours. The concert is free\, but donations will be received. Fletcher’s CDs will be for sale. \nComplimentary coffee will be provided by Old Factory Coffee Shop\, and refreshments will be offered by Old Factory\, for a small charge. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Onstage Orange City: Amy Noelck moved to Northwestern’s Chapel
DESCRIPTION:ORANGE CITY – Singer-songwriter Amy Noelck of Dallas is performing in Orange City Wednesday\, August 27. It’s the final Onstage Orange City show of summer 2014\, sponsored by the Orange City Arts Council. The show will be held at 7:00pm in the Northwestern College Christ Chapel in Orange City. \nSponsors of the event are Iowa State Bank and Quatro Composites™. \nOpening the evening are Northwestern College students Sean Russell and Clarissa Oehler\, “This Much\,” performing from 7:00 to 7:30pm. From Prairie de Chien\, WI\, the duo has performed and led worship together for years\, and competed in NCDC here last year. They sing\, with Russell accompanying on guitar or piano. \nAmy Noelck will take the stage at 7:30pm. Noelck\, who has roots in Iowa\, performs songs of love\, faith\, heartbreak and hope. “I try to write music with lyrics that reveal the transparency of life… I write about brokenness so those that are hurting and longing for something to fulfill them\, will see that they are not alone.  We are constantly searching for peace and joy\, but I am confident that lasting peace and joy cannot be found in anything\, unless first found in Jesus.” \nThe proceeds from her album go to anti-human trafficking organizations around the world\, especially Traffick 911\, the Dallas/ Fort Worth organization working primarily with children; and the A21 Campaign\, an organization which raises awareness\, prevents future trafficking\, takes legal action and provides rehabilitation services for survivors. \nNoelck works with family life and children’s ministry in a Dallas church\, and is looking into opportunities to work as a singer-songwriter\, teaching music to orphans overseas. \nThe concert will not be Windmill Park or the Northwestern College Green. Because of the forecast of rain\, it will be in the Northwestern College Christ Chapel.

SUMMARY:Onstage Orange City: Tuey Wilson
DESCRIPTION:ORANGE CITY – “I think he’s nuts. Or he’s one of the X-Men and does this show to pass the time.” \nThat’s Tuey Wilson’s favorite quote from a fan. This comic stunt juggler from St. Cloud is bringing his nuttiness in Orange City’s Windmill Park Wednesday\, Aug. 20 at 7:00pm. \nWilson’s show is part of the Orange City Arts Council’s Onstage Orange City series. Sponsors are Diamond Vogel Paint and Four-Way Roofing of Alton. \nWilson grew up skiing\, skateboarding and waterskiing\, all perfect for this self-described “introverted show-off.” His life changed when a friend loaned him professional juggling equipment… and he checked out jugglers at the Minnesota Renaissance Fair. So when he considered college and career options a few months later\, he decided to set his sights on becoming a professional juggler. \nHe succeeded\, and has been a crowd favorite at the Renaissance Fair for more than three decades. \nWilson likes performing stunts that involve the whole body. Rather than simply standing still while throwing things\, he now has some bizarre skills: rope walking\, ball spinning\, balancing on a ladder\, manipulating objects on mouthsticks\, and more. At age 50\, he mastered balancing on a ladder… on a rope… on fire! \nIn addition to manipulating props\, Wilson also builds them\, for himself and other professional jugglers. His ball-spinning mouthsticks are considered by many to be the best in the world. \nWilson – who is an unlikely blend of “regular guy” and “quirky oddball” — presents a blend of family-friendly comedy\, jaw-dropping skills and danger. \nThe St. Paul Pioneer-Press said\, “Modern people\, TV-addled\, sensation-drenched\, hard to engage. Right?… Two minutes into Tuey’s act\, they were goggling like tots.” \nCome early for the family safety fair – 3:30 to 6:30. See a fire truck\, walk through a giant inflatable heart to see how the heart works\, check out the Sanford/ Great Plains Zoo express\, and more. \nBring lawn chairs or blankets. Concessions will be available. Rain location is the Unity Christian Knight Center. For more information or weather-related announcements\, see orangecityarts.net or facebook.com/ocArts\, call 712-707-4885 or email ocArts@orangecityiowa.com. \ntuey@tueywilson.com \nfamily safety fair \nFree\, thanks to our sponsors: Diamond Vogel Paint & Four-Way Roofing of Alton
