B&W Photographs: A Focus on Life

This special selection of new and previous years’ work by award-winning photographer Philip Ulanowsky includes portrait, ballet, landscape, and interiors. These exclusively non-digital, traditional B&W silver-gelatin prints are crafted by hand in the darkroom directly from the film negatives he creates in his cameras. Rather than seeking to grab attention with high contrast, Philip’s vision and printing seek to impart a sense of timeless values in the human experience, sometimes through ironic juxtaposition, offering the viewer an opportunity to slow down and think more deeply about what matters most in life.

Loudoun Lyric Opera presents: Cendrillon (Cinderella)

Everyone knows the girl named Cinderella — overlooked, overworked, and dreaming of something more. But in the hands of Pauline Viardot, one of the nineteenth century's most dazzling musical talents, the Cinderella story becomes something intimate and enchanting: a jewel-box opera brimming with wit, warmth, and irresistible melody. Cendrillon follows our heroine from hearth to ballroom, where a lost slipper and a smitten prince set everything right — but the real magic is Viardot's sparkling score for solo piano and voices, written with the elegance of the salon and the heart of a fairy tale.
