Toledo Symphony Plans Third Annual Trip to Chautauqua, NY
Toledo, Ohio. The Toledo Symphony is happy to announce that plans are in place for the third annual TSO-sponsored trip to Chautauqua Institution, in western New Yorkstate. Chautauqua Institution is a community in an historic lakeside village that blends fine and performing arts, lectures, and interfaith worship and programs. This year’s trip leaves downtown Toledo on Tuesday morning, July 5, and returns on Friday evening, July 8.
“Applied Ethics: Government and the Search for the Common Good” is the theme for the week that TSO friends will be there. Highlights included in the trip are the Music School Festival Orchestra concert; David Gergen, senior political analyst for CNN; Rabbi David Saperstein, rabbi, lawyer and Jewish community leader; Theodore B. Olson, former U.S. solicitor general; Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra concert with Alexander Gavrylyuk, guest pianist; and Michael J. Sandel, a professor of government at Harvard University.
The travel package includes transportation on a deluxe motor coach, three nights at the historic Athenaeum Hotel, three full-day passes to Chautauqua, all meals and an ice cream social. Cost per person, double occupancy, is $880.00; add $110.00 for a single room. Optional activities include a guided walking tour, a luncheon cruise on the Chautauqua Belle, Anton Chekov’s “Three Sisters” and a tour of the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown, New York. Jackson was an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and served as a judge for the first Nuremberg Trial.
Ellen Critchley, TSO Group Experience Lady, who has been the tour leader for all three years, said, “A dozen of the people who have already signed up for CHAT 11 – that’s how we refer to these Chautauqua trips – have been part of the TSO trip one or both of the previous two years. Their enthusiasm to return to this special community is clear.” “I had always wanted to experience Chautauqua and, with the cultural activities and the beauty of the surroundings, it is everything I’d hoped for and more. I wouldn’t miss going with my Symphony friends – hopefully every year,” said Jane Fulkert, one of the travelers on all three trips.
