H
e has been
dubbed “The
Autism Whis-
perer” for his innate
ability to under-
stand and interpret
children and adults
on the auti sm
spectrum. On
Tuesday, April 6,
William Stillman –
who himself is an
adult with Asperg-
er’s Syndrome, a
mild “cousin” of
autism – will speak
at Saint Joseph’s
when the Univer-
sity observes its
6th Annual Autism
Awareness Day.
His talk, titled
“Autism and the
90 Percent Factor:
Building Authentic
Relationships,” will
take place at 11:30
a.m. in the Campion
Center. It is free
and the public is
welcome.
“Autism Aware-
ness Day at Saint Joseph’s University is an annual com-
mencement of sorts—we celebrate all of the progress in
the autism field because of the dedicated families, teach-
ers and therapists, we celebrate the endless accomplish-
ments of children and adults with autism, and we prepare
for a new year of making even more strides to help improve
the lives of those with autism,” said Michelle Rowe, Ph.D.,
J
oin screenwriter David Brind at Bryn
Mawr Film Institute on Wednesday,
April 14 for a free master class in
independent filmmaking at 2:00 p.m., fol-
lowed by a screening of his Sundance Film
Festival hit Dare with a Q&A at 7:30 p.m.
Dare stars Emmy Rossum (The Phantom
of the Opera, The Day After Tomorrow)
as Alexa, a clean-cut aspiring actress in
the spring of her senior year of high
school who decides to push her limits
after an arrogant actor (Alan Cumming)
tells her that she lacks experience and
challenges her to do something that scares
her. Remaking herself into a free spirited
risk-taker leads her to seduce her acting
partner, the rebellious, popular Johnny
(Zach Gilford, NBC’s Friday Night Lights).
When her shy best friend Ben (Ashley
Springer) also pursues Johnny, the three
must navigate an increasingly complicat-
ed situation as the school year draws to
a close. Told in three parts, one focusing
on each of the teens’ perspectives, Dare
is set in the suburbs of Philadelphia and
was filmed locally. The 92-minute drama
also features Sandra Bernhard and was
an official selection of the 2009 Sundance
Film Festival. Dare is rated R for sexual
content, language, and alcohol use, all
involving teens. Brind will introduce and
discuss Bryn Mawr Film Institute’s 35mm
screening at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
April 14.
Brind’s free master class in filmmak-
ing and screenwriting will take place in
Bryn Mawr Film Institute’s second floor
Multimedia Room at 2:00 p.m. on Wednes-
day, April 14. The class will discuss the
development of a film from conception
to reality, using Dare as a case-study, and
Brind will discuss obstacles overcome,
the right steps taken, and things to do
differently. There will also be time for
people to share their own filmmaking
experiences and to ask questions. The
class is open to adults and late teens.
To reserve a place at the free afternoon
class, call 610-527-4008 ext. 105 or email
[email protected]. Space is
limited; first-come, first-served.
A
dath Israel’s 2010
Ida S. Mandell
Memorial Con-
cert is A Broad-
way Evening
with Christine
Ebersole, the two-time Tony
Award winner and star of
Grey Gardens. This annual
fundraiser has a rich history
of bringing notable world
leaders and entertainers to
our community. Past con-
certs have featured world-
class leaders and politicians:
Abba Eban (1993), Henry
Kissinger (1995), Sandy
Berger (2006), Benjamin
Netanyahu (2000); as well
as legendary entertainers
and authors: Peter Nero (1984),
Marvin Hamlisch (1996), Tovah
Feldshuh (2001), William
Safire (2003), and Itzhak
Perlman (2008) among others.
In 1982, Temple Adath
Israel asked Ida S. Mandell
to chair an event celebrat-
ing the synagogue’s 35th
anniversary. Samuel and Ida
Mandell were well-known in
Philadelphia religious and
secular philanthropic circles.
They shared a vision of broad-
ened connections between
the synagogue membership
and the contemporary polit-
ical and cultural world. Ida Mandell agreed to the request, and An Evening with Roberta
Peters was a great success. Ida Mandell’s unfortunate passing six months later created an
opportunity to honor her life by naming the concert in her memory. The Mandell family
has been steadfast in its support of this annual event

T
he best high school basketball players of Philadelphia
and suburbs were recognized recently at a dinner hon-
oring their participation in the 2010 All Star Labor Classic
(ASLC). The showcase tournament, sponsored by Philadel-
phia’s Organized Labor, spotlights the best boys and girls
high school players in two city versus suburbs games with
proceeds benefiting United Cerebral Palsy of Philadelphia
& Vicinity (UCP). This year’s tournament will take place on
April 11 at 1:00 p.m. at LaSalle University’s Tom Gola Arena.
LaSalle University is located on 1900 W. Olney Avenue, in
the Olney section of Philadelphia.
Cindy Anderson Griffin, St. Joseph’s University Women’s
Coach, spoke to the players about the role of influencers
in their life, the challenges and growth ahead of them, and
value of “bringing your best every day.” She congratulated
the players, noting that “it is an honor to be recognized in
Philadelphia, [as it is] not just a bit city but a basketball
city. I hope you get a chance to represent your next insti-
tution as you have been asked to here.”
Wayne Miller, business manager of the Sprinkler Fitters
#692 and host of the evening, expressed his gratitude to
the players for participating in an event that not only high-
lights their achievements but works toward further an
organization that helps others to achieve. “You can root for
someone else instead of everyone rooting for you,” he told
the students.
The 2009 ASLC raised over $135,000 for United Cerebral
Palsy and since 1987 has raised over $1.5 million. UCP works
to create a life without limits for people living with a dis-
ability in the Delaware Valley; services include speech, oc-
cupational and physical therapies, job training and place-
ment, information and referral, advocacy and more. As well
as furthering the mission of UCP, the ASLC awards scholar-
ships to the players.
For over 60 years, United Cerebral Palsy of Philadelphia
& Vicinity (UCP) has been working to create a world where
people with disabilities participate fully in their communi-
ties and live a life without limits. Each year, UCP of Philadel-
phia & Vicinity provides direct services to over 3,500 chil-
dren and adults with disabilities and responds to thousands
of requests for information about services for people with
disabilities. To learn more about UCP of Philadelphia &
Vicinity, call 215-242-4200 or visit www.ucpphila.org.

David Brind wrote the screenplay and co-produced Dare, his first feature. He also wrote
and produced the award-winning 2003 short film of the same name, which provided the
basis for the feature. That short played at over fifty film festivals worldwide and was picked
up by Strand Releasing as part of Boys’ Life 5, a series of gay-
themed short films. Brind has also directed three short
films, including Twenty Dollar Drinks with Sandra Bernhard
and Tony Award-winner Cady Huffman, which premiered
in competition at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
Also a successful theater director, Brind directed Bernhard
in her one-woman show titled Sandra Bernhard: Everything
Bad and Beautiful, which ran for four months off-Broadway
in 2006 and was restaged at Philadelphia’s Prince Music
Theater in 2007. He participated as a director of the bene-
fit performances of “The A-Train Plays” at New World from
2006 to 2008 and also directed Huffman in her first one-
woman show, which premiered at the Ars Nova Theater
and later played at Birdland Jazz Club in 2007. Recently he
directed a reading of playwright Jerome Kass’ Love Song
that featured Matthew Broderick and Alan Cumming.
Brind received his B.A. from Yale University as a double
major in Theater Studies and American Studies. He received
his MFA in Screenwriting from Columbia University’s Gradu-
ate Film Program. He is currently working on a screenplay
adaptation of William Wright’s Harvard’s Secret Court.
Tickets to the evening screening of Dare are $9.50 gener-
al admission, $6.75 for students and seniors, and $5.00 for
Bryn Mawr Film Institute members. Bryn Mawr Film Insti-
tute members may buy tickets in advance at the Box Office;
non-members may only buy tickets the day of the show.
Please note that Dare is rated R and ages 16 and under will

n Feb. 20, the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s soaring Great Stair Hall became a ballroom for the night, to host the annu-
al Young Friends Winter Gala. The evening marked the opening of the special exhibition, “Picasso and the Avant-Garde

aseball fans one and all are invited to attend the official public opening of the Harry
Kalas Museum Exhibit at Laurel Hill Cemetery, the late sportscaster’s final resting
place, on Sunday, April 11, at 1:00 p.m. Many of the items featured in the exhibit person-
ally belonged to Harry Kalas, bearing great sentimental value for fans and friends alike.
Among some of the most intriguing items are the blue blazer and white loafers that were
hung in the dugout as part of the Phillies’ tribute to Harry last season.
After viewing the exhibit, at 2:05 p.m., ticket holders will be able to watch the Phillies
take on the Houston Astros under the afternoon sun on a large screen TV, while enjoying
cold beer, hotdogs, soft pretzels, popcorn and other ballpark favorites. Guided tours to
Harry’s gravesite, where ori-
ginal seats from Veterans’
Stadium have been installed,
will also be offered.
Author Randy Miller, whose
book, “Harry the K: The Re-
markable Life of Harry Kalas,”
just hit bookstores, will be
on-hand to speak with fans,
and promote and sign copies
of his book. A dollar raffle
will provide those who enter
a chance to win tickets to
an upcoming Phillies week-
end home game. Baseball
arts-and-crafts table projects
will keep the sport’s young-
est fans entertained.
Laurel Hill Cemetery is locat-
ed at 3822 Ridge Avenue, in
Philadelphia.
Tickets are all-inclusive and
guarantee unlimited access,
food and drink. Cost: $40 for
adults and $10 for children
ages 12 and under. Tickets
should be purchased in ad-
vance at www.thelaurelhill-
cemetery.org, or by calling
215-228-8200.
A Sunday Afternoon of All Things Baseball:
Opening of the Harry Kalas Museum Exhibit
J
ohn F. Dobbyn, mystery writer
and Professor of Law at Villanova
University will visit Tredyffrin Public
Library, 582 Upper Gulph Road in
Strafford, on Thursday, April 8, at
7:30 p.m. for an author talk and book
signing.
Dobbyn is best known for his legal
thrillers set in his native city of Boston
featuring the lawyers Lex Devlin and
Michael Knight. Frame Up, Dobbyn’s
newest legal thriller, is again set in
Boston and follows protagonist attor-
ney Michael Knight to both the seedy
and sophisticated worlds of high-
stakes art fraud. Copies of Frame Up
will be available for sale at the library
event.
After earning a degree in Latin from
Harvard University and a law degree
from Boston College, Dobbyn gained
valuable experience in law and ethics
and in “finding the humanity behind
the legal issues” while clerking for a
Federal District Court judge.
“It was also like an introduction to “central casting” of a
movie studio in that I gained a catalogue of characters for
future stories by way of both the lawyers and their clients
who appeared in the Judge’s courtroom,” said Dobbyn.
After moving to Valley Forge and taking a position as law
professor at Villanova Law School,
Dobbyn continued to gain bits and
pieces of character traits from col-
leagues and students for use in future
stories. Then, fifteen years ago, Dobbyn
took a Main Line Night School Crea-
tive Writing course with children’s
fiction writer Jean Berg.
“As an assignment, I wrote a short
detective story involving a blind
professor as the sleuth,” explained
Dobbyn. “By some miracle, it sold
to Mike Shayne’s Mystery Magazine.
That set the hook.”
Many rejection slips followed, but
finally Dobbyn sold short stories to
more mystery publications and in
2007, published his first Devlin and
Knight novel Neon Dragon.
To register for the John Dobbyn author talk and book
signing, call the Tredyffrin Public Library at 610-688-7092
or email Gretchen Chamberlin at [email protected].

n Saturday, April 3, 2010, The Preservation Alliance for
Greater Philadelphia will host its Annual Old House Fair
from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Germantown Friends School
at 31 West Coulter Street. General admission tickets are
$10; Preservation Alliance members $5. Tickets are avail-
able at the door, online at www.preservationallaince.com
or by calling, 215-546-1146 ext. 7.
The Preservation Alliance instituted the annual Old House
Fair to address an unmet demand for the special expertise,
goods and services that homeowners need to meet the chal-
lenges of maintaining an old house. The Fair features more
than 70 vendor booths and an array of learning opportuni-
ties for owners of the old house to better maintain and re-
store their homes, including demonstrations, expert panels
and “hands on” assistance.
Special features of the Old House Fair include:
• Demonstrations and presentations by participating pro-
fessionals about the products, skills and/or services they
offer.
• Ask the Experts panels, 15-minute problem solving con-
sultations for homeowners with an array of old house spe-
cialists will be available at the.
• Free, 15-minute exterior paint color consultations with
“The Color Doctor,” John Crosby Freeman, featured in Old
House Journal.
• Free consultation on problem mortar, brick and stone
repairs with Limeworks.US. Bring a small bagged sample
for an observation on how to address your masonry issue.
• Tours of the newly renovated “Germantown White House”
from 12:00 - 4:00 p.m.
• Presentation of Homeowner Awards to private home-
owners with exemplary stewardship in preservation
through renovation and maintenance of their property.
Over 1,100 people attended last year’s Fair in March 2009,
and visitors’ reviews found that the Fair helped to address
their needs on how to and where to go for their specialized
restoration and rehabilitation needs. The Preservation
Alliance indicates that 90% of attendees at previous Fairs
were actively planning, or in the process of restoration or
improvement work on their homes.
The Preservation Alliance is a 501(c)3 non-profit organi-
zation whose mission is to actively promote the apprecia-
tion, protection, and appropriate use and development of
the Philadelphia region’s historic buildings, communities
and landscapes.

Coordinator at 215-546-1146, ext. 7 or via email at

Old House Fair Provides Assistance for Homeowners
Walnut Street Theatre for Kids presents the
musical “How I Became a Pirate.”
By Jerry H. Bloom, Staff Writer
F
ranco’s Osteria, located in Presidential City, 3900 City Avenue in Phila-
delphia, was only open for two weeks when we arrived for dinner, but
the quality of food and service offered at this white tablecloth restaurant
was at a high level as if it was in business there for many years.
This should come as no surprise to those who frequented Franco’s
Trattoria in East Falls and the former Monte Carlo living room, as Franco
Faggi is well known as an accomplished Italian chef and restaurateur.
“I brought along most of my staff, especially Chef Luca Sena, Jr. who’s
been with me many years,” Franco said. “We will have outside dining as
soon as the furniture arrives and the weather permits and I plan to have
valet parking. The main dining room seats 135 guests and I have a private
room that will accommodate 35 people.”
Franco’s practicing with the giant wood-burning oven in the center of
the restaurant where he plans to bake gourmet pizzas using split oak logs
for their long burning qualities and smoky flavor.
Franco’s dinner menu is organized into Appetizers ($9.50 - $12.50), Salads
($7.75 - $8.50), Soups ($6.50), Pasta $14.75 - $19.50), Meat ($17.75 - $19.75),
Fish ($18.75 - $19.75), Vegetarian ($14.75), and Sides ($7.50).
“We cook everything to order, so we can prepare our dishes the way you
like,” Franco added. “Tonight’s specials are an eight-ounce center-cut filet
mignon ($28) baked and finished in the oven with a red wine sauce, a
roasted whole rack of lamb ($29),
and the Orata ($26) also known
as Dorado, the whole fish with
several sauces.
We began our meal sharing a
plate of Grilled Scallops ($12.75)
that brought five seared scallops surrounding an island of sautéed spinach
redolent with garlic, seated in a butter-lemon sauce with a drizzle of balsamic
vinegar. All of these flavors complemented the scallops and each other.
We also shared an order of Franco’s signature Pasta dish, his Tagliatelle
Bolognese ($14.75) made with imported golden egg noodles tossed in an all-
beef tomato flavored meat sauce. This tasty dish is based on his mother’s
recipe that she made every day when he was growing up in Italy. Franco uses
Granoro pasta imported from Naples, Italy.
Our main courses were the Orata fish special that Franco deboned perfectly
at our tableside, accompanied with a gravy boat of light tomato sauce with
capers. We also tried Franco’s signature fish dish, Flounder alla Franco ($19.75)
in the Francese style that brought a lightly breaded flounder filet topped with a generous portion of sweet jumbo lump
crabmeat in a delightful butter sauce. This is a must-try dish. Main courses come with potato and vegetable medley or
side of pasta of the day.
Most desserts ($6.95) are made in-house, except for the Bomba, Sorbetti, and Gelato. We shared Franco’s Chocolate
Tortino, an individually baked chocolate cake with a molten center, a scoop of vanilla gelato, and whipped cream. This
is another must-try creation that Franco said took him three months to perfect, so the
crust stayed crunchy and the Callebaut chocolate center warm and flowing.
Franco’s Osteria is open for lunch and dinner. There’s a full-service bar and a wine list
that features Italian and California vintages. For reservations or info, call 215-473-3900.

any thoughts swirled around the minds of
Armenian Sisters Academy fifth grade students
as they designed a visionary page for web search
engine Google. The online site hosts an annual con-
test encouraging K - 12 students to use their imagina-
tions and express what they would do in the world.
When asked their favorite part of the process, some
students enjoyed drawing while for others, writing
about their design was the best, though most chal-
lenging, portion. Students were limited to 50 words
to express the thinking behind their drawings. Nareen
Babaian’s theme of helping animals expressed her
desire to be a future veterinarian, while classmate
Sophia Ohannessian found inspiration for world peace
from the globe in her classroom. Barkev Sarkahian’s
idea revolved around “Shape Shifting Giants” which
formulated in his mind after reading a similarly-themed
story. Their teacher, Mrs. Susan Dallas, enjoyed watch-
ing her students take their ideas and bring them col-
orfully to life.
Academy teachers and staff voted to decide which
of the many creative ideas would represent the Academy
in this nationwide contest. Although all entries were admirable, four students’ work – Zabelle Minasian (recycling), Anna
Terzian (artist), Nareen Babaian (veterinarian) and Sophia Ohannessian (world peace) will continue on to the regional
and hopefully, national competition. These students’ entries will compete with other fourth through sixth grade students
throughout New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Prizes include having their designs hosted on the Google website,
a trip to Google’s New York offices, a laptop computer or even a $15,000 college scholarship.
T

excelled in soccer as a professional player
before coming to the Philadelphia area in 1971.
He has played with the Philadelphia Atoms,
the Philadelphia Spartans, the Ukrainian

as All-Star and leading scorer.
In 1980, Severini became a player/coach in

ince it began in 2005, Wolf Performing Arts Center (Wolf
PAC) has been increasing confidence, building character,
and enhancing the creativity of hundreds of children from
all across the five county area. Wolf PAC has garnered a
positive relationship with the community through its out-
standing summer program, its high-quality stage produc-
tions, and its after-school classes for children ages 3 - 18.
For its Spring Session, for the first time ever, Wolf PAC will
be opening its doors in the morning to welcome its young-
est performers: children 18 months - 3 years.
Wolf PAC’s Morning Broadway Babies classes will focus
on the development and emerging skills of these young
children. They will engage in a variety of fun and stimulat-
ing activities that will center around imaginative play, cre-
ative movement, and, of course, music. In the upcoming
Spring Session, there will be two Morning Broadway Babies
classes: Morning Story Theatre and Morning Movin’ to the
Music, and each class will engage children in different,
wonderful ways.
Morning Story Theatre will focus on story-telling, charac-
ter creation, theatre games, imagination and is the perfect
way to introduce a child to the magic of theatre. New Wolf
PAC teacher, Anna Watson will be teaching two sections of
Morning Story Theatre on Thursdays.
Originally from Germany, Anna received
her Master of Theatre Arts in Vienna, Austria,
was a caretaker for the Vienna Family Federation of Austria
and performs children’s workshops at the Free Library of
Philadelphia.
If your child cannot wait to get up and dance, then Morn-
ing Movin’ to the Music is a great way to put that young
energy to work! Veteran Wolf PAC teacher Kristina Viglietta
will teach a session of Morning Movin’ to the Music on Tues-
day and another on Wednesdays. Kristina has been a teacher,
choreographer and summer camp counselor at Wolf PAC
for years and continues to bring smiles to the faces of all
the children she meets. Kristina has been teaching dance
and movement to children for over fifteen years.
Spring Session at Wolf PAC runs April 5 through May 27.
Information about Wolf PAC’s new Morning Broadway
Babies classes and its full complement of after-school per-
forming arts classes is avail-
able at www.wolfperformin-
gartscenter.org or 610-642-0233.

wood.

esidents of Martins Run, a senior living community in
Media, PA, are turning to the notepad as a form of self-
expression and a means of re-visiting their memories past.
Formed three years ago, the Martins Run Writing Group,
which consists of six “regulars,” thrives as a favorite inter-
est group at the community. Led by Janet Falon, a self-
employed writer and writing teacher, the group meets once
a month on Tuesday afternoons.
While all of the group members share a passion for writ-
ing, each resident has a unique purpose and motivation for
joining the group. One resident, desiring to write a book
about her life, attended the monthly sessions long enough
to get feedback from group members and finish her memoir.
Another resident wrote a love letter as a way of expressing
his sorrow about missing his wife. Janet has learned not to
tiptoe around sensitive subjects, as group members seem
eager to share even their most personal experiences with
others. “There is a sadness to some of their stories, but they
are so lovely at the same time,” said Janet.
A typical session begins with residents volunteering to
read their work aloud, as Janet and the rest of the group
listen. More often than not residents share what they have
written over the past month, but are encouraged to share
pieces they wrote many years ago, too. Following the read-
ing, Janet leads a discussion in which the group gives their
feedback on the piece. Occasionally Janet brings in exam-
ples of writing she likes and engages the group in a round-
table discussion – an activity the group tends to enjoy.
“My goal is not to turn them into fabulous writers. It’s for
them to have a good time, enjoy the process of self-expres-
sion, and to connect with me and others. More than any-
thing else, this class gives residents an outlet for sharing
terrific stories and allows them to write narrative pieces
to pass on to their descendants,” said Janet. “It’s not just
about me being a teacher. It’s a group experience.”
Members of the group share a love of writing, but the
range of experience is broad. Some have been writing all
their lives, while others took it up as hobby after moving
to Martins Run. None of the members, however, are pro-
fessional writers.
When it comes to thinking of topics to write about, Janet
says that she has a “fountain of ideas—one that will never
go dry.” She tries to pick the one that fits at the time, but
the group mostly writes about their past and their present.
“The writing spurs discussions on everyone’s memories of
a particular topic. It creates a sort of group cohesion, which
is really nice,” said Janet.
She points out that it is not always what they are writing
about, but also how they are writing about it, that gives
character to the Martins Run Writing Group. “Members
have their own idiosyncrasies and their own voices that
really add flavor to their writing and to the group itself,”
said Janet.
Some members of the group have found ways to apply
their writing expertise outside of class. Harry Sosson, a
dedicated member of the Martins Run Writing Group, took
the initiative of putting together a small anthology of liter-
ary pieces written by fellow residents. Other members have
sent articles and letters to be published in local publications.
The group’s most recent assignment was to write a poem
about books, libraries or reading in general. As a brain-
storming exercise, the residents formulated several lists,
including their favorite childhood books, characters they
would want to be, and books they will never get to read.
Ultimately, many of the poems detailed the residents’ excite-
ment toward Martins Run’s new library. The residents had
the opportunity to read their poems at the grand opening
for the renovated library.
Martins Run is a not-for-profit, senior living community
located in Marple Township, Delaware County, a suburb of
Philadelphia. Martins Run is dedicated to offering residents
a wide variety of recreational and lifelong learning oppor-
tunities, including Martins Run University, a series of on-site
lectures designed to inspire seniors to embrace continued
education. For info, visit www.martinsrun.org.

T
he Nelly Ber-
man School
of Music (NBS)
will hold a mem-
orial concert in
memory of gifted
violin student,
Chanlan Lee, on
January 23, 2009
at 7 p.m. Chanlan
Lee, age 8, pass-
ed away on Dec-
ember 19 due to
a severe case of
viral encephali-
tis. He was the
youngest schol-
arship student
at the Nelly Ber-
man School of
Music and quite
an accomplished
violinist for his
young age.
Chanlan had a
deep passion for
music that was transparent and vibrant. He was involved
in not only solo performances, but chamber groups and
intensive summer camps. His hard work paid off when he
was the youngest soloist chosen to perform on the stage
at the Kimmel Center as a platinum winner of the NBS Golden
Key Competition. In addition to his heart for playing, he was
also dedicated to the scholarship program that supplement-
ed his lesson fees. To show his appreciation, he took initia-
tive to raise funds, over $300 to be exact, by playing in his
parents’ restaurant in the Chinatown section of Philadelphia.
The January 23 concert will be held at Centennial Hall at
The Haverford School, 450 Lancaster Avenue, Haverford,
from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. The event, showcasing students and
professional musicians, will commemorate Chanlan’s love
and passion for music and life. A donation of $15 per adu
and $10 per child is suggested. All proceeds will benefi
the Chanlan Lee Scholarship Program, which will provid
a scholarship to a gifted violin student, from around th
ion with adequate lessons to foster their talent.

T
he Nelly Ber-
man School
of Music (NBS)
will hold a mem-
orial concert in
memory of gifted
violin student,
Chanlan Lee, on
January 23, 2009
at 7 p.m. Chanlan
Lee, age 8, pass-
ed away on Dec-
ember 19 due to
a severe case of
viral encephali-
tis. He was the
youngest schol-
arship student
at the Nelly Ber-
man School of
Music and quite
an accomplished
violinist for his
young age.
Chanlan had a
deep passion for
music that was transparent and vibrant. He was involved
in not only solo performances, but chamber groups and
intensive summer camps. His hard work paid off when he
was the youngest soloist chosen to perform on the stage
at the Kimmel Center as a platinum winner of the NBS Golden
Key Competition. In addition to his heart for playing, he was
also dedicated to the scholarship program that supplement-
ed his lesson fees. To show his appreciation, he took initia-
tive to raise funds, over $300 to be exact, by playing in his
parents’ restaurant in the Chinatown section of Philadelphia.
The January 23 concert will be held at Centennial Hall at
The Haverford School, 450 Lancaster Avenue, Haverford,
from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. The event, showcasing students and
professional musicians, will commemorate Chanlan’s love
and passion for music and life. A donation of $15 per adu
and $10 per child is suggested. All proceeds will benefi
the Chanlan Lee Scholarship Program, which will provid
a scholarship to a gifted violin student, from around th
ion with adequate lessons to foster their talent.

riday Arts, a 30-minute monthly arts, culture and entertainment magazine with a strong
online component, will debut on WHYY-TV at 8:30 p.m. April 2. An original WHYY
production, Friday Arts will feature three new segments – “Art”, “Art of Life” and “Art of
Food” – and WHYY-produced Creative Campus and Experience video segments.
“Friday Arts gives us the opportunity to cast a light on some of Philadelphia’s best well-
kept secrets in the arts,” said Trudi Brown, executive producer. “We’re looking at paying
appropriate homage to the established arts in our region, but most important, we want
to bring to our audiences arts, culture and entertainment stories that are off the beaten
path. This region is bustling with a vibrant and sometimes even quirky art scene in the
visual and performing arts. Our challenge is to present the best stories in the most artistic
way possible.”
“Art” features local visual performing artists along with pieces on museum and gallery
exhibits. The first episode features an award-winning stained-glass artist who uses uncon-
ventional images and themes in her work and a Creative Campus segment on exhibitions
at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
“Art of Life” profiles everyday people accomplishing extraordinary social goals through
art. The premiere episode profiles Rorng Sorn, a Cambodian refugee and executive direc-
tor of the Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia. Sorn launched a dance-instruc-
tion program in which the children-students wear traditional Cambodian clothing.
“Art of Food” highlights innovative local food entrepreneurs who are environmentally
conscious about food preparation and consumption. The premiere explores the emerging
slow-food phenomenon through the lenses of Slow Food Philadelphia, Restaurant Alba of
Malvern, Pa., and Green Aisle Grocery in Philadelphia. It also features an Experience seg-
ment on Susanna Foo, who has been called North America’s finest Asian chef.
Friday Arts will be broadcast on WHYY-TV the first Friday of each month at 8:30 p.m. Each
episode will be rebroadcast the following Saturday at 11:30 p.m., Monday at 7:30 p.m.,
Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. and Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on WHYY-TV. Each episode of the pro-
gram will also be rebroadcast on WHYY’s Y Arts channel the following Monday at 7:30 p.m.,
Tuesday at 8:30 p.m., Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. and Thursday at 10:30 p.m. Episodes may
also be viewed at WHYY.org/video. Additionally, regularly updated complementary and
supplementary content to the program will be available at WHYY.org/fridayarts.
