SUMMARY:Central Celebrates Bach in September
DESCRIPTION:  \nBach Society of MN performing in 2024 \nNoontime Organ Recitals Sept. 3\, 10\, and 17 | 12:00 – 1:00 pm\n“Bach at Leipzig” Sept. 13 | 7:00 pm\n“Vivaldi on Fire” Sept. 19 | 7:00 pm \nJohann Sebastian Bach was a devout Lutheran composer\, deeply rooted in the traditions and theology of the Lutheran church. He viewed his music\, both sacred and secular\, to glorify God and refresh the spirit\, often signing his works with “S.D.G.” (Soli Deo Gloria)\, meaning “Glory to God Alone”. \n  \n  \nTo commemorate the 275th anniversary of Bach’s death\, Central Lutheran Church of Winona is hosting a series of performances throughout September centered around “Papa Bach”. The festival will include free noontime organ recitals\, a play about Bach\, and the return of the Bach Society of Minnesota. \nNOONTIME ORGAN RECITALS\nLast year’s Hendrickson Organ Recital Series was a resounding success among our community. As part of the festival\, three exceptional organists will perform works by “Papa” Bach\, his children\, and compositions dedicated to Bach. On Wed. Sept. 3\, Matt Gender\, Director of Worship Arts at Zumbro Lutheran Church in Rochester\, will perform the first of three noontime recitals. Central welcomes back John Stender from First Presbyterian in Rochester on Sept. 10. John was one of the Hendrickson recitalists and performed in last year’s Messiah Sing-In. Rounding out the recitals on Sept. 17\, will be Daniel Lewis – Director of Music at St. Martin’s Church in Winona. Dan also performed last year. The recitals take place from noon to 1 p.m. and are free and open to all. \nBACH AT LEIPZIG\nIn his play “Bach at Leipzig\,” author Itamar Moses envisions the competition for the organist position at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche\, featuring six musicians vying for the role. Bach does not appear in this farce about a job opening for an organist that ultimately was awarded to Bach himself – Yes\, it’s a comedy!\nSeveral of Bach’s organ works are included in the performance. A. Eric Heukeshoven\, Central’s Director of Worship\, Music & Arts\, will be the organist. “Bach at Leipzig” takes place on Sat. Sept. 13\, 2025\, at 7 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door for a “Pay What You Can” suggested price of $10 adults\, $5 students and seniors. \nBACH SOCIETY OF MINNESOTA\nConcluding this remarkable celebration will be the return of the Bach Society of Minnesota. On Fri.\, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. this outstanding chamber group will present “Vivaldi on Fire”.

SUMMARY:Minnesconsin: Dick Lano’s photography of the Winona area in the 1970s
DESCRIPTION:September 14\, 2025  | 1:00 -3:00 PM\nWinona County History Center\n160 Johnson St\, Winona MN \nThe Winona County History Center will be opening a new exhibit in the Collection Corridor Gallery. Minnesconsin: Dick Lano’s photography of the\nWinona area in the 1970s will open with a reception on Sunday\, September 14\, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. \nMinnesconsin is a state of mind that spans a river like a bridge connecting Minnesota and Wisconsin. Richard (Dick) Lano operated a photography studio and took many images of the area and its community members. This new exhibit highlights his portraits\, nature\, landscapes\, Winona sites\, photojournalism\, and more. \nDick was born and raised in Winona\, as was his wife Betsy (Burleigh) Lano. In the 1970s they moved their family across the river to Bluff Siding. There he and his family built a home and he operated a photography studio at the entrance to the valley near Wisconsin State Highway 35. Dick picked up photography as a youth and began documenting his trips to the Boundary Waters and out West\, his hometown\, his friends\, and the “Minnesconsin” region. This exhibit offers a retrospective of Dick’s work mostly from the 1970s. It affords us insight into the evolution of his artistic vision from amateur to professional. \nThe opening reception is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Short remarks will be made at 2:00 p.m. by community curators of the exhibit. \n \nLearn more and plan your visit at winonahistory.org or call 507-454-2723
