Join DACOR for this member exclusive tour of the New Deal murals in the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building. As the building is now for sale, this may be your last chance to see the murals!
There are limited spaces available for the tour, so be sure to register as soon as possible. Registrations will be accepted until COB 4/27. Details of where to meet will be included in the confirmation email you will receive upon registering. Please note that you must bring a government issued photo ID and will go through a security screening (similar to an airport) to enter the building.
Ben Shahn’s The Meaning of Social Security is the most prominent of the murals. Shahn built his expansive, multi-panel mural around the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, giving pictorial form to the president's June 8, 1934 address on the Social Security legislation:
"This security for the individual and for the family concerns itself primarily with three factors. People want decent homes to live in; they want to locate them where they can engage in productive work; and they want some safeguard against misfortunes which cannot be wholly eliminated from this man-made world of ours."
The Social Security Act was passed on August 14, 1935 as part of the New Deal program of sweeping social reforms that responded to the economic crisis of the Great Depression. Shahn's mural vividly captures the ambitions of the New Deal programs and also serves as an example of government efforts to extend patronage to the arts in the 1930s. The growth of the arts was encouraged and administered by the federal government. As a result, original works of art grace many federal buildings in Washington, D.C. Other murals in the Cohen Building include Seymour Fogel's The Security of the People and The Wealth of the Nation. Find out more at https://www.insidevoa.com/a/historic-murals-at-voice-of-america/1364570.html.
The Wilbur J. Cohen Building, formerly the Social Security Administration Building, is part of the modern architectural movement of the first half of the twentieth century, while harking back to nineteenth century revivalism in its organization and detailing. Charles Z. Klauder (1872-1938), consulting architect under the supervision of then Supervising Architect of the Treasury, Louis A. Simon (1867-1958), designed the building with features that are reflective of classically influenced modern styles that dominated the design of public buildings during the 1930s and 1940s. The interior of the building falls more clearly into Art Moderne characteristics. The Social Security Administration Building was constructed between 1939 and 1940. For many years, the building housed Voice of America and the U.S. Agency for Global Media. Find out more at https://historicsites.dcpreservation.org/items/show/119. more info...

Join DACOR for a wine tasting evening featuring a selection of Thelema Mountain Vineyards wines. The tasting will be led by Thomas Webb, owner of Thelema Mountain Vinyeards, a family owned and managed wine estate, part of the spectacular Simonsberg Mountain range in Stellenbosch, South Africa and home to Thelema and Sutherland wines. The tasting includes whites, reds and a muscat from Thelema and paired tasting plates.
In 1983, after abandoning his accounting career in Durban to become a winemaker, with the help of his wife’s family, the McLean’s, Gyles Webb bought Thelema, thus starting the beginning of a family legacy. The manor house was restored and the first wines under the Thelema label were released in 1988. By the mid 90’s Thelema’s wines sold out within a month after release, making it one of the most sought-after wine estates in South Africa. The Webb family describe Thelema as “one of the most beautiful places on earth”. As Thelema in Stellenbosch continued to flourish, Gyles embarked on a search for an additional property in order to establish a second vineyard. In 2002, the Webb family purchased an idyllic farm with an undulating landscape, in the cool Elgin region, creating ideal grape growing conditions.
The Thelema label vineyards are situated on the South Easterly side of the Simonsberg Mountain with elevations 530m above sea level with mainly south-facing slopes, possessing some of the highest elevations in Stellenbosch. The high altitude and the rich red soils are ideal for premium quality wine grape production. The Sutherland label vineyards are 9 km off the Atlantic Ocean, in the Elgin Valley, with altitudes of 140 to 250m above sea level. Due to this proximity, ideal cool climate conditions are created.
The event will begin at 6 pm with a social period. The presentation will begin around 6:30 pm.

Join us for "Magical American Impressions: Duo Musicaux ~ Piano Magic for Four Hands~", a Musical Celebration for America's 250th!!
From classical elegance to sparkling American color, Duo Musicaux presents an imaginative program filled with rhythmic vitality. Opening with a classic sonata, Mozart's four-hand arrangements set an early standard of charm for 18th-19th c home musicians in Europe as well as in early musical America. Today Mozart's Sonata in C major, K. 521, is still considered one of the most brilliant and joyful works in the piano four-hands repertoire.
Voices of musical America follow in Samuel Barber's "Souvenirs," a sprightly suite of dances that recall the light-hearted glamour and early jazz of the ballroom era. Leonard Bernstein's energetic "Candide" Overture bursts with theatrical wit and is followed by Aaron Copland's reflective "Variations on a Shaker Melody" from his "Appalachian Spring," transforming the familiar folk tune into music of luminous serenity.
Less familiar is Amy Beach's "Summer Dreams," a suite of playful compositions that evoke childhood. The program concludes with an orchestral showpiece, The "Sorcerer’s Apprentice" of 1897 by Paul Dukas. Originally based on a poem by Goethe, it was Disney's 1940 film "Fantasia" that transformed the mischievous Apprentice into Mickey Mouse that everyone remembers. Let not the famous cartoon lull us into thinking it was one-dimensional -- this piece of genuine Americana is rife with technical pianistic challenges in a dazzling four-hand arrangement that brings the recital to a rousing finale.
Duo Musicaux was formed in 2006 when the two artists were classmates studying at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia. Hanchien LEE, piano primo, and Wenyin CHAN, piano secondo, were both born in Taiwan and showed early promise, winning top prizes in their teens. Dr. Lee went on to receive her degree from and continues to teach at the Peabody Conservatory, while Dr. Chan received her doctorate from Yale University and maintains a private studio while teaching at the Levine School. Both are mothers of young children and are actively pursuing their professional careers as teachers and concert pianists. At Curtis they were classmates of Lang Lang and Yuja Wang.
Come join us at DACOR Bacon House for an exciting afternoon of music and cordiality. Tea & sherry are served at intermission, and children under the age of 18 are free when accompanied by an adult.
