On this day in 1858 (August 1), Daniel Gray Reid was born to Daniel and Ann Gray Reid. Since the church now home to The Reid Center was built to memorialize D.G. Reid’s parents, now is a good time to explore their lives.

Today's the day! Meet at the Reid Center for a lively afternoon of FREE entertainment on Sunday, April 28th to enjoy Food, Music, and Culture!
Beginning at 2:30 p.m. in the Great Room, enjoy "Beyond the Music Foodways Edition: A Music and Culinary Geography of Mexico". This will be a lively lecture/demo presentation that combines music and cuisine with a multi-media cultural history of Mexican regions to better understand the origins of the various musical styles and regional cuisines as well as their significance to the diverse peoples that make up Mexico.
Join two-time GRAMMY-nominated Sones de Mexico Ensemble and award-winning chef Dudley Nieto, on a journey to explore Mexico's geography through a musical and culinary experience.
Then at 4:00 p.m. in the Auditorium, Sones de Mexico Ensemble presents "Fiesta Mexicana", a 45-minute interactive concert for kids and their parents based on an album of the same name. It involves all the musicians of Sones de Mexico Ensemble. The program includes seven or eight songs and a fair amount of storytelling and interactive games between the songs that can be delivered in English or in Spanish.
The group embarks on a journey through Mexican music and the magic world that surrounds it. Children begin by learning about the four sacred elements of nature for the Aztecs: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. Then they learn songs about different animals that inhabit the Mexican ecosystem, including the acamaya (a crawfish), the crocodile, the legendary mermaid, a mouse, a buzzard, a duck, and even a cat! Kids will clap Mexican rhythms and learn the difference between a slow and a fast tempo with the help of Doña Sabina, a 100-year-old special guest. First and foremost, everyone in the audience will learn how fun it is to play and dance Mexican music.
Immediately following the performance there will be a reception in the Great Hall, hosted by Amigos.
This program is sponsored in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. This event is also made possible in part by Amigos, the Stamm-Koechlen Foundation, Earlham College and the Kiwanis Foundation.

Reid Center LIVE! at Noon takes a departure from our normal musical focus to learn about Clara Wolcott Driscoll, an important Tiffany Studios artist. Join us on Wednesday, April 17th at 12:00 p.m. for "By the Light of Tiffany: A Meeting with Clara Driscoll". FREE!
Award-winning author, playwright and classically trained actress Leanna Renee Hieber channels the talented artist Clara Wolcott Driscoll, designer of iconic Tiffany lamps and the manager of the Women’s Glass Cutting department of Tiffany Studios from the late 19th century until 1909.
Infused with passion and dedication, "By the Light of Tiffany" is a one-woman performative lecture adapted from Driscoll’s personal letters, historical record and inspiring details. This ‘meeting with the artist’ showcases the vitality, innovation and amusing insights of Driscoll, a woman emblematic of the role of women as leaders in the decorative arts movement.
