Apart from our season’s four concerts, our seventh annual Spring Gala will be on Saturday, May 2, 2015. The evening will feature Ariane Sletner and John Reitz who will be performing two sonatas for violin and piano.
This year’s Gala will take place at “Oak Hill” the historic residence of John Macionis. It was conveyed to James Park by President James Monroe in 1824 (the year Kenyon was founded in Columbus). The original land grant specified eighty acres; the property today spans ninety-four acres and includes much of the original land. This land grant is displayed in the home.
As is typically the case with old houses, various additions were made over time. The back wing of the house was added in the early 1990's. Beginning in 2010, the property underwent a major restoration, with the outside and much of the interior of the main house being redesigned to conform with Federal era proportions. Within the past year, the outbuildings (which include a stable, barn, cabin, and guest house) were heavily refreshed.
Mark you calendar for this annual fund-raising event which is always punctuated by great food and good friends.
