SUMMARY:Water Music: Chamber Music at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:November 13\, December 11\, March 5\, April 16\n4:30 and 7:00 each day\nMinnesota Marine Art Museum \nThe Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM) is pleased to announce the return of Water Music: Chamber Music at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum\, presented in partnership with the Winona Symphony Orchestra. Now entering its fifth season\, Water Music brings together art and music through a series of four chamber music concerts performed in an intimate setting within the museum’s galleries. Each performance is designed to highlight both the visual treasures of the MMAM and musical masterworks connected by a shared theme. \nNew for the 2025–26 season\, each concert evening will feature two performances\, at 4:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Between the two performances\, guests are invited to enjoy a reception in the MMAM atrium\, featuring a treat prepared by the museum’s new Waterbar Café + Provisions inspired by the evening’s program\, included with the ticket price. A cash bar will also be available. Guests are encouraged to come early or stay late to enjoy food\, drinks\, and conversation surrounded by art and music. \nThe Water Music season begins on Thursday\, November 13\, 2025\, with Water Music: Epic Journeys\, paired with the exhibition A Spectacle in Motion: The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World. The program will include Shostakovich’s Two Pieces for String Octet and Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings\, featuring guest violin soloist Nash Ryder and musicians from the Winona Symphony Orchestra and Apollo Chamber Music. \nThe second concert\, Water Music: Christmas Concertos\, will be presented on Thursday\, December 11\, 2025\, paired with Alexis Rockman: Oceanus. The program will include Torelli’s Christmas Concerto\, Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on “Greensleeves”\, and Corelli’s Christmas Concerto\, performed by musicians from the Winona Symphony Orchestra. \nOn Thursday\, March 5\, 2026\, MMAM will host Water Music: Quince Ensemble\, paired with the exhibition Fluid: What is Marine Art and What Can it Be? This program will feature Zohn-Muldoon’s Destierros and Night and McKinley’s Ten Medieval Songs\, performed by guest artists Quince Ensemble and violinist Erik Rohde. \nThe season concludes on Thursday\, April 16\, 2026\, with Water Music: The Coast and the Sea\, paired with the exhibition The Coast and the Sea: Marine and Maritime Art in America.

The Water Music series is presented by the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and the Winona Symphony Orchestra\, and is supported by Your Classical MPR. \nThe Minnesota Marine Art Museum is a nonprofit art museum that creates meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water. Located in Winona\, Minnesota\, the purpose-built museum is located on the banks of the Mississippi River and boasts six galleries\, an educational and events space\, and a destination retail shop on its seven-acre riverside campus. It is through this surprising diversity that MMAM is not only describing what marine art is\, but pushing the boundaries of what marine art can be. \nThe Minnesota Marine Art Museum is an organizational member of the River Arts Alliance.

SUMMARY:An Eye For An I: Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Nov. 13 | 5-7 pm\nBlue Heron Coffeehouse\n162 W 2nd St\, Winona\, MN 55987 \nHola\, Friends \nMy memoir\, An Eye for An I: Growing Up With Blindness\, Bigotry and Family Mental Illness is set to be released on November 4th by the University of Minnesota Press. Please join me for the Winona Launch Party at Blue Heron from 5:00-7:00 PM on Thursday\, November 13th. There will be delicious appetizers from the good folksat the Blue Heron\, a slideshow\, a reading or two\, music\, and salsa dancing to close out the celebration. \nIf you are unable to make the Launch Party\, I will be on a panel of memoir writers on Saturday\, November 8th at 10AM at the Winona Public Library. I hope you can join us for one or both of the above events. \nThe memoir is to be featured on several podcasts including the Midwest Writers Room\, the Kindness Matters podcast\, and Minnesota Reads\, a\nweekly Minnesota radio segment on The North 103.3 FM. If you know of podcasts\, book groups or classrooms that might benefit from discussing\nthe topics above\, please feel free to share that information with me. \nMil Gracias\, Jim Bonilla \nPS. It is not too late to pre-order An Eye for An I. I’m told that pre-orders make a huge difference to a book’s success because publishers devote more time and money to a book that is already selling well.  Order here.  Thanks. \nA sample of reviewers’ comments: \n“Whether you come to this book for insights about living with disability\, the impacts of racism and trauma\, or the emotional journey to healthy manhood\, you will  be captivated by the vivid tenderness of a masterful storyteller and inspired by the lessons about the resilience of the human spirit.”  – Steven Botkin\, founder and former executive director \, Men’s Resources International \n“Weaving together a poignant narrative made of personal vignettes\, James Francisco Bonilla tells of obstacles overcome\, insights gained\, and lives transformed by his commitment to social justice and self-understanding. With its intersectional analysis of racism\, mental illness\, and disability\, this memoir brings a fresh and inspiring voice to the world of social justice literature.”—Beverly Daniel Tatum\, PhD\, author of Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? And Other Conversations About Race.
