Return ‘Home’ Vance George returned “home" to Nappanee last week, and shared his memories and talents with a large group of family, friends, teachers and former classmates on Sunday afternoon, July 25, in the round barn theatre at Amish Acres. George’s appearance is the first in a series of “Nappanee Native Sons and Daughters” presentations being sponsored by the Community Pride Agendum. If Vance's visit was an indication of how the series will develop, it has to be one of the best ideas formulated in a long while. He was delightful. “An Afternoon With Vance George” included his comments, a brief display of his musical abilities (we wanted morel), several short video presentations of his Grammy Award acceptance, on behalf of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, and excerpts of one of the group’s performances. Also included was the acapella version George arranged for the chorus, of the “Star Spangled Banner”. It was refreshingly different, beautifully performed, and extremely effective. George talked about his hometown, school activities and programs, teachers, classmates, his “journey” from Nappanee to San Francisco, and proudly displayed the actual Grammy, which replaced a “fake” used for the presentation and photos/interviews. According to Sunday’s program, the chorus is in its 81 st season, and the 10th under George's direction. The 200-member unit has become one of the finest choral ensembles in the United States, annually presenting from 8-10 major works of four performances each, plus seasonal concerts and special appearances. The Grammy was for the chorus' rendition of Orff’s “Carmina Burana” as Best Choral Recording of 1992. Vance George is enthusiastic when he talks about Nappanee, speaking of the respect in other parts of the country for work ethics, responsibility and trustworthiness he identifies as values from the “Heartland of America.” Sunday’s program stated, “It is these very qualities and his dedication to his vocation that have earned Vance outstanding recognition in his field of expertise. In return, he has earned for Nappanee a billing in the San Francisco Symphony Stagebill as home to native son Vance George.” Thoughts began to wander: who might be good prospects for future series presentations. How about Diane Meyer Simon, or David Crane, or perhaps Stephanie Swanson. All are native Nappaneeans who have interesting stories/careers they might be willing to share with us. Who else? The second program in the series will be presented in October, and will feature Robert Lehman, who graduated with the Nappanee High School Class of 1961. Rob is currently president and CEO of Fetzer Institute, and chairman of the board of trustees of the Fetzer Memorial Trust. The institute, based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, promotes research into health care methods that utilize the principles of mind-body phenomena. Watch for further announcements, and do plan to participate in this series. In spite of the fact that I am stingy with my Sunday time-it was 90 minutes well spent. Thank you. BK
