Its June 6 editorial “Cultural events enliven summer” claims “June also brings so much seasonal entertainment to Lancaster City that residents sometimes have to choose from among competing events.”
WATCHDOG: In its listing of cultural events, it fails to mention arguably the most important of them all. The Pennsylvania Academy of Music is presenting “Vivace!,” an international summer music festival of concerts and special events from June 13-27. In celebration of the bicentennial of Mendelssohn’s birth the concert theme of this year’s festival is “Mainly Mendelssohn.”
Just another case of the failure of the Lancaster Newspapers to recognize the contribution and future potential of the Academy. Another incident of “casting pearls before swine.”
