A Cultural-with-a-capital-C weekend is coming up in Hays. Friday evening is the spring Art Gallery Walk, and Saturday evening is the annual masterworks concert at Beach-Schmidt Auditorium. I’m proud to be involved in both events.
The Tea Rose Inn is showing paintings by Kansas artist Louis Copt. (Copt web site) His typical subject is landscapes that truly capture the look and feel of the Kansas prairie, from fields of crops to clothes drying on a line in the wind. The paintings of controlled burns are just mesmerizing. All works are for sale. I’ll be serving mushroom turnovers, tiny berry tarts, and of course tea (haven’t settled on a variety yet). The TRI will be open to all art lovers from 6:00 to 9:00 Friday evening. No charge! (Spring Gallery Walk)
At 7:30 Saturday evening the Hays Symphony Orchestra will present works by Beethoven and Dvořák. On Dvořák’s Te Deum they will be joined by the Fort Hays State University choir and the Smoky Hill Chorale, of which I am a member. A guest soprano and a guest bass will perform the solo parts. Two beautiful pieces of music in a perfect setting, the fabulous Beach-Schmidt Auditorium, at a bargain price. ($6, I think—less than a movie ticket!)
The last piece of good news is that there is still one vacancy this weekend! We’d love to see you here.
