First Annual "Buffalo Day at Chautauqua," August 9, 2010
The First Annual "Buffalo Day at Chautauqua" was held Monday, August 9, 2010. Signage from The Buffalo News along with the president of Chautauqua Institution, Thomas Becker, proclaimed the event and welcomed over 5000 in attendance during announcements in the Amphitheater, before introducing Ken Burns as the 10:45 AM featured speaker for the day. Later, at 4 PM, Mike Sullivan, representing Chautauqua Institution, welcomed a standing room only crowd of over 200 at the Hall of Christ. Mary Roberts, Ex. Dir. of the Martin House Restoration Corp. gave a 20 minute presentation bringing the audience up to date with the project. Paul Lamont, the producer of the PBS presentation, "Frank Lloyd Wright's Buffalo," provided insights into the making of the nationally aired production by WNED. A lively Q&A session followed the one hour video. WNED gave permission to record the audio portion of this video. Thank you to all who participated and made this day possible. Sponsors of the event included The Center for the Study of Art, Architecture, History & Nature (C-SAAHN), TMartin House Restoration Corporation, WNED, The Buffalo News and Chautauqua Institution. -- By Dennis Galucki
AUDIO "CHAUTAUQUA: AN AMERICAN NARRATIVE" - Comments by Don Boswell, John Grant & Thomas Becker - 09/30/10 The first public screening in Buffalo of "CHAUTAUQUA: AN AMERICAN NARRATIVE" was held at the studios of WNED. Following the viewing, Donald K. Boswell, President & CEO of WNED introduced Thomas Becker, President of Chautauqua Institution and John Grant, Producer of the show soon to be released nationally on PBS, for a Q&A session with the audience. This recording,(made from audience level),gives insight into the producers dilemma of having so much information and footage about Chautauqua, with only a limited amount of time available in an hour program. The story of Chautauqua itself, seems to defy description because it is rooted more in the experience of over 150,000 people who attend every year, usually for a week at a time. Overall, the audience expressed great satisfaction with the show and believed it captured the spirit, program, and lifelong learning experience that is "Chautauqua." Tom Becker gives an inspirational view of the need and role of Chautauqua in the 21st Century for America and the world. It is anticipated that this video will be part of next year's 2nd Annual "BUFFALO DAY AT CHAUTAUQUA," probably during Week 4, during the 2011 Season. The day will be sponsored, in part, by WNED and C-SAAHN. -- By Dennis Galucki
