SUMMARY:Long Lunch - Summer Paella with Chef Mark Haskell
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereJoin us in the kitchen for a Paella workshop! The most traditional paella was based on the rice fields in the Ebro delta valley near Valencia and what the farmers and irrigation workers found – using snails/escargot & rabbit\, and local gardens\, not seafood – but then it was adopted to wider tastes & pocketbooks. We’ll be making a summer version with chicken\, shrimp and sausage. \nThis dish makes the perfect feast because you don’t have to sweat over the details! Join Mark Haskell in learning the fun of this one-pot dish that allows you to toss in the ingredients and let them simmer in harmony while you watch and sip your favorite drink. \nShut your laptop for a long Friday lunch and add another favorite to your go-to cooking list. Eat\, drink and be merry! \nComplimentary beer and wine are included in the price of the course! \nChef Mark Haskell’s career has taken him to kitchens in Europe\, Asia\, South America and the US. A native of the South Carolina Lowcountry\, he has an affection for Southern cooking and gardening\, and he applies his international flair to these traditions. He was knighted a Chevalier to the Confrérie de Vin de Saint Vincent for his work promoting organic and biodynamic food in the Côtes du Rhône region of France. \nTickets are non–refundable.

SUMMARY:Stone Room Concerts @ Hill Center Featuring Crys Matthews\, 2025 International Folk Music Award's Artist of the Year
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereA troubadour of truth\, Nashville resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. An award-winning\, prolific lyricist and composer\, Matthews blends Country\, Americana\, Folk\, Blues\, and Bluegrass into a bold\, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies punctuated by honest\, original lyrics. She is made for these times.\n\n\n \n\n\nOf Matthews\, ASCAP VP & Creative Director Eric Philbrook says\, “By wrapping honest emotions around her socially conscious messages and dynamically delivering them with a warm heart and a strong voice\, she lifts our spirits just when we need it most in these troubled times.” \nJustin Hiltner of Bluegrass Situation notes\, her gift is a “reminder of what beauty can occur when we bridge those divides.” In her own words\, Matthews says her mission is: “to amplify the voices of the unheard\, to shed light on the unseen\, and to be a steadfast reminder that hope and love are the truest pathways to equity and justice.” Her new album is an embodiment of and a testament to that mission. \nA daughter of the South by way of Nashville now and North Carolina forever\, and the self-proclaimed poster child of intersectionality\, Matthews is boldly answering those questions on her new album aptly titled Reclamation. \n“This album is both sonically and ideologically the fullest representation of who I am as an artist and as a human\,” she says. A preacher’s kid\, a Black woman\, a Butch lesbian\, and a proud Southerner who sings social justice music right alongside ‘traditional’ Country and Americana music\, Matthews is reclaiming not just of the space Black artists have been denied in Country and Americana music\, not just of the space LGBTQ people have been denied in communities of faith\, not just of the autonomy women have been denied over their own bodies\, she is\nreclaiming the South that raised her.

SUMMARY:French Language Course: Beginner I / Intermediate I - New Session Summer 2026

Repetition will be emphasized. \n\nThis class is also suitable for Intermediate I students who have a stronger grasp of the language\, but aren’t quite ready for full blown conversation. These students will explore French poetry\, singers\, and magazines as avenues to discover verb tenses (présent\, imparfait\, futur and passé composé)\, irregular verbs\, adverbs and prepositions.\n\nIn the class\, students will expand their French vocabulary and grasp on grammar\, while exploring Francophone cultures. The students will be able to see the progress very soon and enjoy the interaction in an intimate class setting of 4 to 12 students. \n\nAll the materials and exercises will be distributed by the teacher. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I really enjoyed this class and will sign up for more!” -Jill\n“I love the teacher and the pace of the class.
