SUMMARY:Afternoon Lecture Series: Amelia Earhart – The Boston Years
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, July 10 at 12:00 PM at Wenham Museum for a fascinating lecture exploring a lesser-known chapter of Amelia Earhart’s life. \nMost people know Amelia Earhart as the pioneering aviator who disappeared while attempting to fly around the world. But before that historic journey\, she spent time in Medford\, Marblehead\, and Boston. Why was Amelia on Boston’s T-Wharf at 4:00 AM? Where did she gather around campfires for marshmallow roasts and storytelling? And why did Boston police nearly arrest her for littering? \nThese surprising stories will be brought to life by Dr. Margie Arnold\, a leading Amelia Earhart historian and advocate.\nDr. Arnold is a retired higher education professor and administrator\, author of two textbooks\, and has delivered more than 100 professional presentations. She has spoken at the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum\, the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum\, and the International Women’s Pilot Museum\, and currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum. \nDon’t miss this captivating look at the remarkable woman behind the legend! \n📅 Friday\, July 10\n🕛 12:00 PM\n📍 Wenham Museum

Renowned for both her extraordinary virtuosity and the spontaneity of her performances\, she is one of the most compelling classical artists of our time\, appearing regularly with the world’s leading orchestras\, conductors\, and musicians. As she has noted in The New York Times\, “I firmly believe every program should have its own life\,” a philosophy that shapes her bold and deeply personal approach to music-making. \nBorn into a musical family in Beijing\, Wang began piano studies at an early age before pursuing advanced training in Canada and later at the Curtis Institute of Music\, where she studied with Gary Graffman. Her international breakthrough came in 2007\, when she stepped in for Martha Argerich as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra\, launching a major global career. Two years later\, she signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon\, cementing her position among the leading pianists of her generation. \nWang’s artistic daring was recently showcased in a landmark marathon performance at Carnegie Hall\, where she joined Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra to perform all four of Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in a single afternoon\, celebrating the composer’s 150th anniversary. A passionate advocate for contemporary music\, she has also given the world premiere of Magnus Lindberg’s Piano Concerto No. 3. \nHer recordings have earned numerous honors\, including Musical America’s Artist of the Year and an Opus Klassik Award. With her fearless programming and vivid musical imagination\, Yuja Wang continues to redefine the role of the classical artist in the 21st century. \n“Yuja Wang was the brilliant pianist\, projecting the solo part to a nicety and getting every note to glitter.” –Financial Times \nGala Table Sponsors\nIMPRESARIO — $20\,000 (12 VIP tickets)\nInvitation to post-concert reception with the artists\nTable host will be invited to 2 exclusive chamber music events featuring high profile artists \nVIRTUOSO— $10\,000 (8 VIP tickets)\nInvitation to post-concert reception with the artists \nMAESTRO — $5\,000 (4 VIP tickets) \nADDITIONAL BENEFITS\nPremier concert & VIP dinner table seating\nVIP post-concert dessert reception with the artists\nListing in Gala materials\nInvitation to the Season Kick-off Party \nGala Tickets\nBENEFACTOR — $1\,250\nListing in Gala materials \nPATRON — $900 \nConcert tickets will not be mailed.\nAll Gala tickets will be provided upon arrival at the Gala Check-in table.\nRockport Music is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring a love and understanding of music through exceptional live performances and creative learning opportunities.\nPlease Note: Only the tax-deductible portion of the event can be made through a donor advised fund. \nTo reserve your seat at Rockport Music’s Summer Gala\, please contact Susan Rogers\, Senior Development Officer\, at 978.546.7391 ext. 106 or srogers@rockportmusic.org.
