Essentially Ellington at Jazz at Lincoln Center
|
Jazz at Lincoln Center's annual Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival is one of the most innovative jazz education events in the world. Each year, high school musicians from across North America travel to New York City to spend three days immersed in workshops, jam sessions, rehearsals and performances. The Competition & Festival is the culmination of the yearlong Essentially Ellington program, during which participating bands are invited to submit a recording and 15 finalists are selected through a rigorous screening process. Each finalist band takes part in an in-school workshop led by a professional musician before coming to New York to put up their "Dukes" and perform before Wynton Marsalis and a panel of esteemed judges.
In honor of the 20th anniversary of the Essentially Ellington program, Jazz at Lincoln Center has produced a multimedia exhibition sharing 20 years of this program. The exhibit is free and open to the public during scheduled performances now through Saturday, June 13.

Pathmakers: Women in Art, Craft and Design, Midcentury and Today will be on display at the Museum of Art and Design (MAD), located at 2 Columbus Circle, from Tuesday, April 28 - Sunday, September 27. Pathmakers considers the important contributions of women to modernism in postwar visual culture. In the 1950s and 60s, an era when painting, sculpture, and architecture were dominated by men, women had considerable impact in alternative materials such as textiles, ceramics, and metals.
The exhibit highlights a largely unexamined period in major art historical surveys in which these pioneering women achieved success and international recognition, establishing a model of professional identity for future generations of women. Pathmakers focuses on this core cadre of women who had impact and influence in the arts and came to maturity along with the Museum of Arts and Design itself, which was founded in 1956 as the center of the emerging American modern craft movement.
Admission to the museum is $16 for the general public, with discounts for seniors, students, and groups, and free for museum members and children 18 and under. Thursdays are pay-what-you-wish. Visit madmuseum.org to learn more about this exhibit and see everything going on at MAD.

| Help Prevent West Nile in NYC |
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is preparing for the 2015 West Nile virus season. West Nile virus is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, so, as temperatures warm up, owners and property managers can help reduce mosquito-breeding grounds by eliminating all standing water sites on their property.
It is a violation of the City Health Code Article 151.03 to allow the accumulation of standing water capable of breeding mosquitoes on your property. Failure to comply may result in appropriate civil fines, penalties and forfeitures.
Visit nyc.gov/health/wnv to see the "2015 Comprehensive Mosquito Surveillance and Control Plan". You can also see a helpful private property owner checklist and a list of preventative steps individuals can take against mosquitoes.
