This threeâ€"way meeting of the great German composer, the brilltant musical interpreter and one of Canada‘s foremost printmakers is part of the Printmakers‘ Fairâ€"a dayâ€"long event at the University of Waterloo‘s Renison College on June 10 from 10 a.m. to 430 p.m. The inspiration of Bach, the performance genius of Yoâ€"Yo Ma, and the arresting art of Rudolf Bikkers come together this weekend in an exhibition entitled Johann Sebastian Bach From Cello to Stone. "Performing Bach‘s Unacâ€" companied Cello Suites for my own pleasure over the years, and listening to them perâ€" formed by Yoâ€"Yo Ma, 1 discovâ€" ered abstract images forming in my mind," Bikkers said. Bikkers then laid down the music‘s emotionally charged character into striking forms and colours that became a furâ€" ther interpretation of Bach‘s musical ethos. Exhibition at UW‘s Renison College is a collaboration among artistic giants In this day and age, it is increasingly important that our children master certain fundamental basic skills, develop a strong, lifeâ€"long, work ethic, and acquire a positive attitude towards competition and personal success. These attributes belong to individuals who are strong economic, social, or political forces in our society today. Early in their years at home, and throughout their school lives, these individuals were groomed for their eventual successes. Scholars‘ Hall is a teacher directed school. Structure and discipline are a constant focus. Lessons are taught to the whole class. Attentiveness is expected. Respect is required. Effort and diligence are necessary. Homework is assigned and checked daily. Now, more than ever before, our children need the traditional, academic skills, ethics, and positive personal attitudes provided by a Scholars‘ Hall education. In grades one, two, and three, phonics is taught daily and applied to oral reading and correct spelling. Each child will have their own basal reader and speller and will use them to practice at home for the weekly tests. Penmanship is taught daily and applied to note making, journals, and homework. Memory is trained and applied to number facts, listening skills, and following instructions. Daily routines and organization skills are an integral part of the learning process in the primary grades at Scholars‘ Hall. Scholars‘ Hall Writer Robert Fulford, who wrote the booklet for the exhiâ€" biuon, said: "Interpretation is the way we honour art, absorb it, make it ours. Interpretation builds bridges between then and now, between them and us. Interpretation is as essential to culture as original art itself. Bikkers‘ art prompts a fasciâ€" nating question: "Can we actuâ€" ally see music beyond the black and white notes with their stems and flags?" "In 1972, Rudolf received a warm and inspiring letter from Dmitri Shostakovich, praising him for his visual interpretaâ€" tion of Shostakovich‘s Quintet in G Minor, a set of five seriâ€" graphs," Fulford said. These prints became the groundwork for the current exhibition. Educated at Hilvesum, Maastricht and the Jan van Eyck Academy, Dutch native Bikkers studied both visual arts and cello.
