Crossroads of Conflict A Guide to Civil War Sites in Georgia

Lecture, Discussion and Book Signing

“Hark! ‘tis the cannon’s deafening roar, That sounds along thy sunny shore,And thou shalt lie in chains no more,

My wounded, bleeding Georgia -Carrie Bell Sinclair, Milledgeville, GA (1866)

Tuesday, June 23Barry L. Brown, AuthorGordon R. Elwell, AuthorThe UGA PressThe Rock House5:00 p.m. Cocktails5:30 p.m. Program$5.00 per personReservations begin May 23

The impact of the Civil War on Georgia was greater than any

other event in the state’s history. Approximately eleven thousand Georgians were killed and the state suffered more than one hundred thousand total casualties. Georgia was extremely influential in this nation’s most tragic conflict, and the war touched every corner of the state.

Based on a comprehensive survey of sites identified by the Georgia Civil

War Commission in 2000, Crossroads of Conflict covers 350 historic sites in detail, bringing the experience of the war to life. Written by Georgia Civil War Commission staff members Barry L. Brown and Gordon R. Elwell, this full-color edition of Crossroads of Conflict is an updated and significantly expanded version of the guide released by the state of Georgia in 1994.

Authors Barry L. Brown and Gordon R. Elwell will talk about the book

and their research into Georgia’s historic Civil War sites. Brown is a heritage tourism specialist for the

Georgia Department of Economic Development and Elwell is a former program coordinator and administrator for the Georgia Civil War Commission and retired command historian for the Georgia Army National Guard.

Inspired by Gillian Welch, Michael Hurley and many more, they interpret the songs of Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel, and Johnny Cash. Expect chilling harmonies, unbridled enthusiasm, some wholesome tunes, and a sincere performance. For more information on Cicada Rhythm please visit their website at http://cicadarhythm.org.

For many years, American composers struggled to find

an authentically “American” sound. American composers of the 19th Century struggled to break away from the formidable cultural influence of the European schools of music. In the 20th Century, composers in our country began to find their inspiration in various American sources including

African American and Native American music. This recital will offer music and the stories of the journey towards, and eventual arrival at, an authentically American sound. The American giants George Gershwin and Aaron Copland form the backbone of this program, but it will also feature some lesser-known American composers and a little bit of European music for the sake of comparison.

Robert Hjelmstad is a local pianist, church musician, and music educator in Athens, Georgia. After finishing his Master’s degree at the University of

Georgia in 2013, Robert has focused on presenting classical music programs that strive to bridge the gap between performer and audience member. To date, his efforts to bring quality piano music to a variety of different audiences has seen him give recitals throughout the United States and in Brazil.


“My Kid Could Paint That!” and Other Interpretations of Modern Art

Finding Meaning in Abstract ArtLecture and Discussion

Thursday, July 9Nell Andrew, PhDUGA Associate Professor of Art HistoryThe Rock House5:00 p.m. Cocktails5:30 p.m. Program$5.00 per personReservations begin June 9

Few eras in the history of Western art are as polarizing

for contemporary viewers as the emergence of abstraction. What makes it art? Given the same materials, couldn’t a child—or the now famous internet elephant—paint a similar work? But when artists of the early 20th century left their training and craft behind to make abstraction, not only did they change the criteria for how we judge works of art, they altered the very definitions of art.

Following centuries of effort to perfect likeness, European artists at the turn of the 20th century began to experiment with new definitions of realism, and in

1912, the first works of entirely abstract art were exhibited to the Parisian public. Art historian Nell Andrew will present from her research on the development of abstract art, and on the complex motivations behind painting’s radical shift over matter of mere decades. Focusing on a few key painters, and looking closely together at their works, this talk will highlight painterly, cultural, scientific, economic, and philosophical influences that made it possible to imagine Picasso’s cubes, Kandinksy’s colors, and Mondrian’s grids in the early 20th century.

Nell Andrew is Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Georgia, where she teaches courses in Modern Art (1860-1945). She is currently

completing a book on the contributions of avant-garde dance and early film to the development of abstraction in late-19th and early-20th-century European painting. Dr. Andrew came to Georgia in 2009 from Chicago where she completed doctoral studies at the University of Chicago and worked in the department of European painting at the Art Institute of Chicago. Her published research can be found in Art Journal (2009, 2014), Museums without Walls: Film, Art, New Media (Palgrave, 2012); The Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism, and The Modernist World (Routledge, 2015).

Infectious Diseases on a Changing PlanetHow Ecology Drives Epidemics

Lecture and Discussion

‘Where do new emerging diseases come from, and can an ecological perspective help prevent future outbreaks?’

Thursday, July 16Sonia Altizer UGA Athletic Association Professor of EcologyUGA Odum School of EcologyThe Rock House5:00 p.m. Cocktails5:30 p.m. Program$5.00 per personReservations begin June 16

As humans change the earth’s landscape and climate, we

are also changing the stage for organisms that cause disease. During the past half-century, mysterious and deadly new diseases have affected humans, our crops and livestock, and natural ecosystems. Recent examples include surging cases of the mosquito-borne Chikungunya virus in the Caribbean, the Ebola epidemic that ravaged western Africa, and White Nose Syndrome, a deadly fungal disease that has killed millions of native bats across North America. Evidence is growing that human changes to the land and oceans are affecting the ecology of microbes like never before. Simultaneous with the appearance of new local outbreaks, advances in global trade and travel mean that pathogens can now move faster and farther. This presentation will explore the links between human-driven environmental change and the emergence and spread of novel pathogens, highlighting important work taking place by researchers at the University of Georgia. It will also examine why ecological knowledge is vital to future efforts to predict, respond to, and ultimately prevent future disease outbreaks.

This summer, for one night only, come soak in the

melodious sounds of traditional music and some original tunes a capella. Three marvelous Athens-based singers – Marty Winkler, Kate Morrissey, and Lisa Cesnik Ferguson – have formed TRIO, an a cappella ensemble, to perform traditional tunes and select originals.

With special guest Anthony “Tony” Oscar adding a

foundation of percussion, Marty, Kate, and Lisa will put their distinct stamp on traditional songs like Amazing Grace, Summertime, Allelujah, Ain’t No Sunshine, and Fever to name a few.

Marty Winkler, an Athens transplant from Nebraska (by way of Minneapolis and New York), has performed her eclectic repertoire of jazz, pop, R&B and

Americana at venues from the First Avenue in Minneapolis to The Bitter End in New York to Eddie’s Attic in Decatur. Kate Morrissey is a wandering songstress who came to Athens from her childhood home in the hills of rural South Dakota by way of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. She’s best known in this corridor for her dark velvet voice whose range and control stands on its own. Lisa Cesnik Ferguson is a singer, actress, teacher and entrepreneur best known for founding and managing Rose of Athens, a professional theater company. Anthony “Tony” Oscar, a native of Brazil and the mainstay of the Athens band Coconut Moon, is one of the most in-demand percussionists in this music-rich region, adept on congas, bongos, maracas and sleigh bells.

Similarly, our knowledge and intellect are strengthened by the seeds of cultural experience. At Reynolds Plantation, we have chosen the acorn to represent the seeds of our cultural experience. The acorn is the fruit of Georgia’s state tree, the Live Oak, and offers much symbolism as we prepare an exciting series of programs to entertain and enlighten you.
