The Wet Ink Ensemble is a collective of composers, performers and improvisers dedicated to adventurous music-making. Named “The Best Classical Music Ensemble of 2018” by The New York Times, Wet Ink’s work is rooted in an ethos of innovation through collaboration, extending from the music and the unique performance practice developed in the “band” atmosphere of Wet Ink’s core octet of composer-performers, to projects with a broad range of renowned creators, from Evan Parker to George Lewis to Peter Ablinger, and committed performances of music by young and underrepresented composers, from today’s most promising emerging voices to the next generation of artists.

Hailed for “sublimely exploratory” (The Chicago Reader) and “dense, wild, yet artfully controlled” (The New York Times) performances and “uncompromisingly original music by its members, and unflagging belief in the power of collaboration” (The New Yorker), Wet Ink has been presenting concerts of new music at the highest level in New York City and around the world for over 20 years. Wet Ink’s programming celebrates the nexus of composition, improvisation and interpretation, from early collaborations with Christian Wolff and ZS to pioneering portrait concerts of Peter Ablinger, Mathias Spahlinger, Anthony Braxton, and the AACM composers, work with renowned creative musicians such as Ingrid Laubrock, Peter Evans, Darius Jones, and Katherine Young, and long-term collaborative projects with Wet Ink’s four acclaimed composer-members (Alex Mincek, Sam Pluta, Kate Soper, and Eric Wubbels).

Wet Ink has been in residence at institutions including Duke University, EMPAC (Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center), Columbia University, the Royal Academy of Music (UK), and The Walden School, among many others, and has been featured on numerous recordings. Highlights include Katharina Rosenberger’s TEXTUREN, which was awarded a German Record Critics Prize, and solo records by Alex Mincek (Torrent), Kate Soper (IPSA DIXIT), Sam Pluta (Broken Symmetries), Eric Wubbels (Duos with Piano, Book 1), and Josh Modney (Engage), all of which were celebrated on various “Best of” lists by The New York Times, The New Yorker, Bandcamp Daily, Sequenza 21, and The Nation. Wet Ink has released three acclaimed solo albums (Wet Ink Ensemble, Relay, and Wet Ink: 20, which features the Wet Ink Large Ensemble), and will release another in April 2020 featuring large-scale works written for the Wet Ink band by Sam Pluta and Alex Mincek.

Wet Ink is co-directed by an octet of world class composers, improvisers, and interpreters that collaborate in band-like fashion, writing, improvising, preparing, and touring pieces together over long stretches of time. These directors are Erin Lesser (flutes), Alex Mincek (saxophone), Ian Antonio (percussion), Eric Wubbels (piano), Josh Modney (violin), Mariel Roberts (cello), Kate Soper (voice), and Sam Pluta (electronics). The Wet Ink Large Ensemble is a group of extraordinary New York City musicians that come together to play the world's most exciting and innovative music.

William Shatner, the Emmy® Award-winning actor who came to fame portraying Captain James T. Kirk on the original “Star Trek” television series, announced he has signed on to provide special co-narration for the all-new concert tour, “Our Planet Live in Concert.” Based on the Netflix original documentary nature series, the tour will perform in Indianapolis on Saturday, April 8 at Old National Centre.

Tickets are available for all shows at www.livenation.com, via Ticketmaster outlets and at the Old National Centre box office day of show. All dates, acts and ticket prices are subject to change without notice. Ticket prices are subject to applicable fees. For more information, tickets and tour dates, visit www.ourplanetinconcert.com.

Audiences will experience the magic of “Our Planet” with the most memorable clips from the series projected on a large HD screen. Like the series, the live show is narrated on-screen by David Attenborough, who has brought the natural world to living rooms all over the world.

The original Emmy-nominated score by Oscar®-winning composer Steven Price has been reworked for an epic two-hour performance, which will be performed by an 18-piece orchestra. Shatner’s narration provides bridges between the visually stunning nature imagery.

“My deeply immersive journey into space gave me a profound appreciation for the earth and its fragility,” says Shatner. “The reimagining of the Netflix series takes the audience on a journey showcasing our world with spectacular visuals, narration and music. The combination of all these elements gives the audience an opportunity to celebrate our planet together— the home we all share —and its wonders, while showing the urgent need to treasure and protect it.”

Over the course of his illustrious career, William Shatner has won Emmys and his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of eccentric lawyer “Denny Crane” on both The Practice and Boston Legal.  He received four more Emmy nominations as well as other Golden Globe and SAG Award nods.

A collaboration between GEALive, Silverback Films and World Wildlife Fund (WWF), “Our Planet Live in Concert” combines high-quality live elements with a fusion of breathtaking cinematography projected on a large HD screen. “Our Planet” blends spectacular wildlife footage with the mysteries of how and why animals migrate. The series features stunning imagery of the Earth’s most beautiful, intriguing, and surprising wildlife as it follows animals on the move from plains to frozen worlds to high seas and beyond. In these dramatic, compelling stories, it reveals the connections that drive our natural world, inspiring viewers to want to learn how climate change impacts all living creatures and what can be done about it.

The show’s run time is approximately two hours including intermission.

For each performance, a donation will be made to benefit Our Planet producing partner organization WWF.

These bands combined have multiple No. 1 hits with this tour starting in 1984. Since then the band has consistently knocked out 50 shows a year, making this tour an iconic homage to an era of music that has influenced many of today’s artists. The tour has consisted of several different bands and artists throughout the nearly 40 years it has been running, with the only constant band being The Turtles. This group’s members include: Howard Kaylan, Mark Volman, Al Nichol, Chuck Portz, and Don Murray.

April 13 is National Thomas Jefferson Day and honors the birth of the third President of The United States, Thomas Jefferson, who was kind of born on April 13, 1743. The Julian or Old Style calendar was used until 1752, when the Gregorian or New Style calendar was adopted. This added eleven days to the current date to bring the calendar year into step with the astronomical year. Thus, the birthday of Jefferson, who was born on April 2 under the Old Style calendar, is now celebrated on April 13, the New Style date. The Gregorian or New Style calendar is the calendar we use today.

Ever curious, Jefferson was a lawyer and a scientist of agriculture, paleontology, and astronomy. He also studied the weather, keeping detailed records, sparking weather enthusiast across his home state of Virginia. He collected archeological animal bones; he loved wine, books, and was quite the foodie. In fact, many credit him to brining “mac and cheese” to America, though that is not the case. However, he does have a favorite recipe for the macaroni noodle, which can be found at https://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/macaroni#footnote4_grw9agn.

Many know Thomas Jefferson as a former President of the United State or even a founding author of the Constitution. However, these achievements do not come close to encompassing Jefferson’s accomplishments, education, goals, and efforts.

While living in France, serving as a U.S. Minister to France, Jefferson fell in love with the cuisine, architecture, and the art. However, he found the state of poverty there to be deplorable. When he returned to the States, he brought with him a new found passion for French wine and a renewed sense duty to help his fellow man. As for wine, he was recognized as one of the great wine experts, keeping two vineyards at Monticello, which still exist.

Jefferson truly believed ALL men were created equal. His line in the Declaration of Independence, “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” was actually his view on poverty. He spend much of working life, actively trying to protect ordinary citizens from overreaching wealthy citizens. However, he also believed individuals should be self-reliant. He wanted the government to assume responsibility for the poor, but as a temporary measure meant to be used temporarily to help the person while they recovered financially or even while learning a new trade so they could be financially stable.

Jefferson believed that “without health, there is no happiness.” He made numerous attempts to improve health care. He fought to reduce disparities in health care amongst Americans. It is believed, due in part to his work with French health care and in part to his agreement with John Adams, that Thomas Jefferson actually wanted a universal health care coverage. However, it cannot be substantiated as there is no written proof of this theory.

During his political career, Jefferson fought to reform poorhouses. Poorhouses were similar to the homeless shelter/missions we have today. He believed they had failed their mission and were too underfunded. He also wanted all children to have access to education. Jefferson stated all children should learn “some art, trade or business,” however; he saw the merit in public school and wanted children to attend for a minimum of three years. He wanted education for everyone, whether they could afford it or not, even if it came at public expense.

Jefferson also wanted slaves to receive an education. He wrote a letter to Robert Pleasants, advocating for Virginia’s educational system to provide the education in order to prepare them for freedom. He saw education as a means of empowering the powerless to empower themselves.

It is not known if his love for education led to his passion for books or if his passion for books led to his love of education. What is known, however, is that the Library of Congress would have suffered more severely if not for Jefferson. It is believed that Jefferson had the largest personal collection of books in the United and when the Library of Congress was raided by the British in 1814, Jefferson offered his personal library, as a replacement. His collection was estimated to be around 6,500 different books.

From politics to humanitarianism, food to healthcare, Jefferson never wanted to stop learning. He promoted education and pushed for equality in all peoples.

On Friday, September 24, 2021, the second installment of the Greencastle Piano Project was introduced at an unveiling party held at Conspire: Contemporary Craft. The brightly painted piano was painted by Greencastle resident, Alexandra Hirt.

Alexandra Hirt, who goes by Alex, studied at DePauw University. She was able to witness some of the work Matt Reese had done on the first piano, which was placed in Wasser before Covid-19 caused a multitude of changes, specifically, the ability to be in the Peeler Art Center to witness Matt work on his piano. However, what she did see was enough to pique her interest and she was determined to put her name everywhere in hopes of being selected for the next piano. Little did Alex know, both Matt Reese and J.D. Grove (owner of Conspire: Contemporary Craft) had recommended her as the next artist. When she was asked by Main Street Greencastle to participate, she said she was honored and gladly accepted.

Alex believes all art should be available and accessible to the public. Not just because it can be pretty, but because it can be a valuable tool and resource for voicing thoughts and opinions, for provoking thoughts, and for inciting change. In fact, she chose a concept for her piano piece that not only promotes conversation, but also touches on history. Her concept is brightly colored and contains faces of women, along with many of their quotes. Whether they are current speakers of the world, or long since passed, Alex felt their voices needed to be heard.

To usher in the new piano piece, Dustin Scoggins was asked to be the inaugural musician for the piano. Dustin and Alex had a brief conversation, each showing appreciation for the other’s talents. Between the beautiful music and the thought provoking art, the unveiling was a success.

If you are interested in joining the Piano Project (donating a piano, painting, etc.) you can contact mike@goputnam.com for more information.
