SUMMARY:Exhibit: Right Whales of Amelia Island
DESCRIPTION:Looking out from Amelia Island’s beaches\, the warm coastal waters of SE Georgia and NE Florida host the only calving grounds for the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. This exhibition explores their hunted history and fragile hope-filled future. Fewer than 400 remain\, but if you are lucky\, during November through April\, one of those right whales and her calf will swim into your view. \nThe exhibit will open on December 19th as part of the museum’s “3rd on 3rd’ series with a special presentation by Richard Timm and Scott Rowley of the Amelia Island Whale Ambassadors. The evening’s activities will begin at 6:00 p.m. Following the presentation\, attendees will enjoy exclusive access to the exhibit along with complimentary appetizers and beverages. The suggested donation is $5 for members\, and $10 for non-members. Seating is limited on a first-come\, first-served basis. The program is wheelchair accessible. \nA second presentation will be at the museum on February 20th\, 6:00\, again as part of the museum’s “3rd on 3rd” series. Nick Williams\, a local biologist who leads Whale Guard Bioacoustics Research Inc. and is the naturalist for the Ritz Carlton\, will share right whale related research that he is currently involved with. \nA third presentation will be on March 4th\, 12:00 p.m.\, as part of the museum’s brown bag lunch series. Theresa Hartz of the Amelia Island Whale Ambassadors will provide an update on the 2026 calving season\, the lessons learned\, and insights about individual whales.

SUMMARY:Story & Song Concert Series: The Telephone/Craigslistlieder
DESCRIPTION:Two clever works anchor the program: Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Telephone (1947) and Gabriel Kahane’s Craigslistlieder (2006). Local favorite Bill Ivins brings his artistic eye to the direction\, seamlessly weaving these two pieces together. Accompanying the evening on the iconic Story & Song piano is Amelia Island Opera’s Season 5 Music Director\, Keith Chambers. \nIn The Telephone\, Ben — sung by AIO Co-Founder and Artistic Director John Tibbetts — tries to propose to his girlfriend Lucy\, played by returning company favorite Kyaunnee Richardson. But Lucy’s constant phone chatter keeps getting in the way. With his train departure looming\, Ben is forced to use the very device that’s been disrupting their time together. Full of charm and satire\, this one-act opera is a light-hearted commentary on how technology can complicate even our most heartfelt intentions. \nAfter intermission\, Richardson and Tibbetts are joined by tenor Dylan Elza\, a rising talent whose charisma and vocal agility bring fresh energy to the stage. Together\, they perform Craigslistlieder\, a contemporary song cycle that sets real Craigslist ads to music. Composer Gabriel Kahane transforms these quirky digital missives into surprisingly moving and often laugh-out-loud portraits of modern loneliness\, hope\, and human eccentricity. \nTogether\, these two works offer a comic\, clever\, and refreshingly modern take on love in the wired world — where connection is just a ring or a click away.
