GREENWICH PEN WOMEN PROGRAMS
October 5, 2010, Tuesday, 10:30 am – Tour at Metropolitan Museum of Art
Vivian Gordon, art historian and lecturer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, will give a tour of their Greek, Etruscan, & Roman Galleries. After more than a decade of reconstruction and expansion, the galleries are “a spectacular museum-within-the-museum” that display not only examples of ancient Greek sculpture and vases, but paintings from Roman villas, intriguing portraits of ordinary and royal Romans, and stunning examples of ancient glass, metalwork, and gold jewelry. The afternoon will be open to explore the new fall shows, including The World of Khubilai Khan and Passages in Contemporary Photography.
November 16, 2010, Tuesday, 3:00 pm – Piano seminar, “A Tune of Her Own”
Member Margaret Mills will present a piano seminar, “A Tune of Her Own: Five American Women Composers.” She will perform and explain how the composers differ in the structure and diversity of their compositions. She also will talk about their place in music history and women’s history and their “unbelievable” lives. The hour-long program, held at the First Presbyterian Church, One West Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, is part of the Church’s Music Ministry and the Greenwich Pen Women community outreach program. The performance will be followed by a reception.
December 10, 2010, Friday, 12:00 – Holiday Luncheon, “A Many Splendored Thing”
Member and artist Jean MacFarland will demonstrate the art of collage and invite us to participate in the creation of a “many splendored thing.” The Owl Award will be presented at this holiday luncheon at the Field Club, 276 Lake Avenue, Greenwich.

The workshop will be at the Greenwich Historical Society, 29 Strickland Road, Cos Cob. Refreshments will be served after the two hour workshop.
