SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: The History of the Montauk Club\, An Architectural Treasure
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy In partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to a Landmark Lecture \nThe History of the Montauk Club: An Architectural Treasure\nWith Mary Brennan\, President\, and Dylan Yeats\, Vice President \n \nThis will be an in-person and online lecture on Tuesday\, June 13th 6:00 pm \nGeneral Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of The City of New York\n20 West 44th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues)\nManhattan \n \nThe Montauk Club was founded in 1889 in Brooklyn\, in the tradition of private clubs at the height of the Gilded Age. Its magnificent Club House was designed by famed New York architect Francis H. Kimball\, inspired by a palace on Venice’s Grand Canal. The Club House was completed in 1891 and its Venetian Gothic architecture\, carved mahogany woodwork\, terracotta façade\, and beautiful stained glass windows remain its signature features. Today\, the Club is a vibrant part of its Park Slope\, Brooklyn neighborhood\, offering a variety of events year round. In this talk\, President of the Montauk Club\, Mary Brennan\, and Vice President Dylan Yeats will discuss its fascinating history. \nOver the Club’s 134-year-old history it has not only been celebrated and visited by eight American Presidents including John F. Kennedy\, but it has also encountered a number of challenges. Ms. Brennan and Mr. Yeats will discuss the many milestones (positive and negative) in the Club’s distinguished history\, the Club’s current programs and explain how it has managed to survive as Brooklyn’s last operating private club. They will also provide the background to The Montauk Club building receiving the Lucy G. Moses Excellence in Historic Preservation Award from The New York Landmarks Conservancy and the Municipal Art Society’s MASterworks Award for Best Restoration. \nThe Brownstoner described The Montauk Club: “The result is a building uniquely late 19th century American\, emphasized by the Native American theme in the ornamentation. Where else would one find a Venetian palazzo with Gothic tracery\, Victorian stained glass\, and columns with Native American faces as capitals? It’s all wonderfully unique and beautiful.” \n

SUMMARY:Alice Austen House - Concert
DESCRIPTION:Alice Austen House\, Staten Island \nSAVE THE DATE – Concert\, Saturday\, June 3\, 2023 \nTIME: 1-4 PM \nCelebrating Alice and Gertrude through Song:\nPreservation and Pride in Partnership with Tin Pan Alley\nFor information contact:\naliceausten.org \nGET TICKETS \n \nTo kick off Pride month and celebrate the preservation of Alice Austen and Gertrude Tate’s iconic love story\, the Alice Austen House and Tin Pan Alley present an afternoon of music with Miss Maybell and Charlie Judkins and the inimitable Kay Turner. \nTaking inspiration from an era when Alice Austen and her life partner Gertrude Tate resided at Clear Comfort and presented in collaboration with the Tin Pan Alley American Popular Music Project; Miss Maybell and Charlie Judkins will perform vintage jazz\, ragtime and blues songs from 1900-1929. \nBetween the late 1890s and 1970s New York City’s music publishing district was known as “Tin Pan Alley”—a reference to the continuous sound of pianos emanating from nearly every open window nearby\, allegedly causing a remark that it sounded like the banging of tin pans. Reinvigorating that spirit on our historic grounds\, The Tin Pan Alley American Popular Music Project commemorates and invigorates a living legacy. \nIn “Songs for Alice and Gertrude” lesbian-feminist queer activist Kay Turner and her band Kay Turn Her and the Pages sings from her lesbo-centric catalog of songs she has written and co-written over the past thirty-five years. A former professor at NYU\, Turner is known for teaching lesbian lessons in song. Appropriately\, this set at Alice Austen House includes “Bicycling for Ladies\,” written in loving recognition of Austen and her partner Gertrude \nAlice Austen House.

SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: Great New  York Fire
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy In partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to a Landmark Lecture \nGreat New York Fire of 1776: Lost Tale of the American Revolution\nWith Professor Benjamin L. Carp\, Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center \nThis will be an in-person and online lecture on Tuesday\, May 23rd 6:00 pm \nGeneral Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of The City of New York\n20 West 44th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues)\nManhattan \n \nWho set the mysterious fire that burned down much of New York shortly after the British took the city during the Revolutionary War? \nNew York City\, the strategic center of the Revolutionary War\, was the most important place in North America in 1776. That summer\, an unruly rebel army under George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn it rather than let the British take it. Shortly after the Crown’s forces took the City\, much of it mysteriously burned to the ground. \nThis is the first book to fully explore The Great Fire of 1776 and why its origins remained a mystery even after the British investigated it in 1776 and 1783. Uncovering stories of espionage\, terror\, and radicalism\, Benjamin L. Carp paints a vivid picture of the chaos\, passions\, and unresolved tragedies that define a historical moment we usually associate with “life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness.” \nBenjamin L. Carp is professor of history at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. He is the author of Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party and the Making of America and Rebels Rising: Cities and the American Revolution. He lives in New York City

SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: Highlights From 50 Years of Preservation
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy In partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to a Landmark Lecture: \nHighlights From 50 Years of Preservation\nBuildings and the Stories They Tell\nWith Peg Breen\nConservancy President \nThis will be an in-person and online lecture on Tuesday\, March 14th\, 6:00 pm \nGeneral Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of The City of New York\n20 West 44th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues)\nManhattan \nIN- PERSON RSVP HERE \nONLINE RSVP HERE \nPeg Breen\, the New York Landmarks Conservancy President\, will lead an illustrated talk on the Conservancy’s history and mission. Buildings tell stories and her presentation will include images from “50 at 50”\, an interactive\, online exhibition launched in January to kick off the Conservancy’s 50th anniversary. \nIn 1973\, the Conservancy’s visionary founders realized that landmark designation alone wouldn’t always save a building\, and they saw the need for a group with financial and technical skills to help property owners maintain their historic structures. They also sought a group that could devote the time required to pull off major preservation projects. \nFrom its gutsy beginnings finding new uses for vacant public buildings\, the Conservancy has become one of the largest preservation groups in the country. \nThe Conservancy’s range of financial and technical programs has helped protect more than 1\,300 historic structures\, providing more than $60 million in grants and loans which has leveraged $900 million to preserve worthy buildings and neighborhoods throughout New York. \nGeneral Admission: $15\nGeneral Society and New York Landmarks Conservancy Members: $10\nStudents: $5\nAdvance registration is required

SUMMARY:Museum at Eldridge Street - Concert
DESCRIPTION:Museum at Eldridge Street – Concert: Celebrate Women’s History Month with the Music of Alhambra! \nA musical journey to the Golden Age of Spain! \nSunday\, March 12\, 2023\n3:00 PM – 4:30 PM \nPurchase Tickets \nImage Credit: Courtesy of Alhambra.\nMore info\nCelebrate the women in your life and throughout history at Eldridge Street with Alhambra! Alhambra creates exciting arrangements of historical Judeo-Spanish wedding music\, love songs\, and instrumental dances on the oud\, violin\, shawm\, dumbek (middle-eastern drum)\, riq\, def\, and bendir. Join us in our spectacular Main Sanctuary to experience the joy of Judeo-Spanish music\, with special songs to honor Women’s History Month and the Purim season. \nThe Museum at Eldridge Street is housed in the beautiful restored Eldridge Street Synagogue\, the first synagogue in America purpose-built by immigrants from Eastern Europe. While its first congregants were from Russia\, Poland\, Lithuania and other Eastern European countries\, they wanted a building that hearkened back to the Golden Age of the Jewish Diaspora in Spain and North Africa. Reminiscent of this Golden Age of Jewish History\, Alhambra’s story told through their music exemplifies the narrative that Eldridge Street’s original congregants wanted to tell through their choice of Moorish Revival architecture. \nBand Members: Jenny Luna (vocals\, percussion)\, Adam Good (oud)\, Marandi Hostetter (violin)\, Philip Mayer (percussion). \nAlhambra was founded by Dr. Isabelle Ganz in 1981. Based in New York\, the ensemble has toured Andalusia\, the British Isles (including London’s Purcell Room and Almeida Theatre)\, Quebec\, and Bogota. They have performed at the Quincentennial Celebration in Istanbul\, the first International Festival of Jewish Art Music in Vilnius\, Lithuania\, in San Juan\, Puerto Rico\, and at colleges\, community centers\, and folk festivals throughout the United States. They have performed at venues including Merkin Hall\, Weill Recital Hall\, the World Music Institute\, the Jewish Museum in New York\, the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles\, the Ordway Theater in St. Paul\, the Rothko Chapel in Houston\, Smith College\, Hunter College\, and the Eastman School of Music. The ensemble won first prize in the Jewish performing arts competition and was a finalist in the concert artists’ guild competition\, both held in New York.
