Tonight’s Entertainment
Noah Kellman ’09, Piano
Noah Kellman is a composer, pianist, and songwriter based out of the Central
New York area. He began playing jazz piano at the age of 10 with his school
band. Since then, he has been selected as a recipient of a 2011 ASCAP Young

as a pianist in the 2009 GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles. In 2008, he attended the

Composers Award for his composition “Get Lost.” Noah has won several
Downbeat Student Music Awards for both composition and performance. At the
end of his junior year of high school, he won Downbeat’s award for “Best High
School Jazz Soloist.” In 2010, he was selected as a pianist for the Brubeck
Fellowship Program, where he performed with such greats as Christian

plays trombone, piano, bass guitar, and drums and is developing his chops as a
vocalist. Nick is continuing his education at the Berklee College of Music,
where he has been awarded the presidential scholarship.
Max Calkin, Bass
Jack Black might not present himself as a likely influence for a lot of jazz
students in New York City, but the fun and liveliness that he displayed in the
movie "School of Rock" was enough to kickstart Max Calkin's lifelong passion
for music and the bass. Max was born and raised in a small town in New
Hampshire where he received his first electric bass at age nine. He began
playing professionally at age 13 at venues around New Hampshire. It wasn't
until 2008 that Max was introduced to the upright bass, but he immediately fell
in love with the instrument's sound. In 2010, Max moved to New York City to
study jazz bass at Manhattan School of Music.

Conor Szymanski, Drums
“Music is a living thing. When you play, it’s like investigating a single cell. As
you become familiar with its details, you start to recognize and feel these deep
flows and currents – and then that single cell blooms into more and more cells
that pull you into this journey. It’s an exploration that grows into
an amazing relationship.”
Conor Szymanski grew up in New Jersey. He got his first drum kit at the age of
five and began serious lessons when he was 10. Through middle school and
high school, he studied extensively with Billy Hart, Mark Guiliana, Jeff
Hirshfield, Dion Parsons and Steve Lyman. Today, he studies with John Riley
at the Manhattan School of Music, where he is completing his sophomore year.
In 2010, Conor shared in the Outstanding Big Band Rhythm Section award at
the Annual Charles Mingus High School Competition & Festival. In 2011, he
won the drummer’s chair in the New York Youth Symphony’s Jazz Band
Classic. Conor has performed with Donny McCaslin, Christian McBride, Chick
Corea, Jim McNeely and Duane Eubanks among other notable players. He’s
appeared at some of the top venues in the New York/Philadelphia area,
including: Carnegie Hall, NJ Performing Arts Center, Shea Auditorium at
William Paterson University, New York City Symphony Space, The Bitter End,
Chris’s Jazz Café, Rockwood Music Hall and The Living Room.
SQUID. is a trio based in New York
City It consists of Noah Kellman on
piano, Max Calkin on bass, and Conor
Szymanski on drums. Drawing from a
wide variety of influences, including
The Bad Plus, Deerhoof, Brad
Mehldau and John Williams, their
music sounds like a combination of
jazz, rock and indie pop.

The Artists’ Invitational
Silent Auction
The Artists’ Invitational features works in a wide variety of mediums. The
artists are regionally, nationally, and internationally recognized. We have asked
the artists for a piece that reflects their best work in the medium they most
prefer. Thus, all the artists who have works on display here tonight have given
us a glimpse into their personal vision and creativity. Many of the contributing
artists are among our guests at the event, so please take a moment to thank them
personally for sharing their talents with us. All works contributed to The
Artists’ Invitational will be showcased and sold in a Silent Auction format
throughout the evening. High bidders are asked to pay for and take home their
artwork at the end of the evening.
The Artists
KAREN BAKKE, who holds a B.F.A. and M.F.A. in design, works
successfully in a wide variety of mediums. She is a jeweler and silversmith and
also works in handmade paper. Karen teaches textile design and interior design
rendering classes at Syracuse University, where she is the chair of the
Department of Environmental Arts, Consumer Studies and Retailing. She does
calligraphy and illumination and collects 19th and 20th century antiques. Her
work has been shown extensively and is marked by a strong sense of
composition and color.
TODD CONOVER graduated with a degree in fashion design from The
College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University. He began his
career as a fashion designer starting his own fashion business together with
designer Jeffrey Mayer. For 15 years, ConoverMayer sold nationwide to stores
and boutiques including Bergdorf Goodman, Barney’s, Nieman Marcus and
Saks Fifth Avenue. Todd is an assistant professor of design in The College of
Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University, a position he has held since
1995. His teaching specialty is digital fashion illustration and presentation using
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Illustration, graphics, and fine art have always
been a part of Todd’s visual vocabulary. He likes to work in a variety of
traditional mediums in conjunction with digital technology. Todd says: “My
work tends to focus on fashion, style, and the evolution of emotion towards
form, color, pattern, and line.” Metal is a relatively new medium for Todd and
he has been working in it since 2011. Jewelry, utilitarian objects, lamps and
vessels have been the focus to date. Todd is a member of the Society of
Illustrators, SNAG, and the Society of North American Goldsmiths

MICHELLE DaRin’s unique, handcrafted necklaces are mini masterpieces.
Her prized pieces showcase enameled copper birds, leaves, flowers and
dragonflies that are embellished with exquisite layers of semiprecious gems like
smoky quartz and turquoise. Her work has been featured in “Women's Wear
Daily,” and is sold in boutiques from Syracuse to New York City.
ALISON FISHER is a native of the Syracuse area. While having lived in such
diverse locations at Hawaii, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and California,
she returned to the area in 1992 and now makes her home with her husband and
son in Manlius, N.Y. As a self-taught artist with a background in commercial
art and gallery management, she launched her career in fine art in 1987. Her
work has been shown in fine art shows and galleries across the southwest and
east coast, and is included in the corporate and private. Alison’s deep love of
abstract form was inspired by such artists as Kandinsky and Rothko, both
seemingly reflected in her own diverse work. In her mixed media paintings;
consisting of acrylic, titanium, pastel, gold ink, tea leafing, and copper wire, she
continues to explore the concepts of balance and perception. While her acrylic
on paper impressionistic pieces lead the viewer on their own journey into peace
and tranquility, her total body of work clearly reflects her own evolution as an
artist and the beauty of the quest.
HALL GROAT, SR. was born in Syracuse at the end of the Depression and
learned at an early age how to be independent. Growing up in a family business,
he gravitated toward sales. At five years old, his neighbors became his first
customers. He was a product of Edward Smith, Nottingham, and Central High
Schools, where he began his art studies. On his 20th birthday, he was drafted
and served as a combat rifleman in Korea. Two years later, he entered Syracuse
University as an art major, graduating in 1959. After five years working in
commercial art, he transitioned into self-employment as a painter. Forty-five
years later, Hall and son Hall II formed a partnership in an international art
business, New York Art Collection/Two Generations of American Art. Both
men have traveled the world in search of better ways to serve the demand for
their art and educational programs. In his new book, “They Called Me the
Brush-Slinger / The Business of Art,” released in January 2012, Hall discusses
his 45-year venture in self-employment as an artist. Learn more about Hall on
his website, www.hallgroat.com.

MARGIE HUGHTO, beginning with her early studies at Cranbrook Academy
of Art, has examined ceramics in a non-traditional format, finding her métier in
the slab or wall-mural format. Former Everson curator Peter Doroshenko called
Margie “a unique and paradoxical artist.” Her work is characterized by shifts in
color, shape, and style. It includes references to landscape and to painterly and
natural abstraction. Her works are alternatively monumental and intimate in
scale, mute and garish in color, objectively descriptive and purely abstract in
subject matter; her glaze application can be flat and smooth or thickly built up.
Having received an undergraduate degree in art education from SUNY Buffalo
and an M.F.A. in ceramics from Cranbrook in 1971, she joined the faculty of
Syracuse University, where she continues to teach ceramics. In recent years,
Hughto has undertaken a number of public-space commissions, including largescale
ceramic installations for the New York City and Buffalo subway systems.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and is counted in the collections of
major American corporations and museums. She also was a 2001 recipient of a
Tiffany Grant. In 2012, Margie completed 12 murals at the Ground Zero site in
New York City and had an assortment of work on display as part of the new

daring.”

#121 Artists’ Invitational Piece by David Rufo
“Green Apple” is an oil painting in Rufo’s fruit series. Work on the fruit series
began in 1999 and came about through the artist’s desire to find an iconic
approach to his painting. Here, the painting process was swift, vigorous, and
taken directly from nature. To create these works, he began by setting down the
background color, using a mixture of ivory black, burnt sienna, and alizarin
crimson. Immediately following, the foreground image was applied before the
background color had dried, thus capturing the action of the brush.
Compositionally, the works are rather simple. The initial intent was for the
viewer to be able to visually dissect the work, to take it apart stroke by stroke.
Value: $1,000

Steven Charles Capital
Investment Advisors
Founded in 1985 in Rochester, New York, Steven Charles Capital provides complete
asset management services for employee benefit plans, endowments, charitable trusts and
high net-worth individuals. In addition to our headquarters in Rochester, New York, we
have a branch office in Centerport, New York, with clients throughout the country.
We believe that the ultimate criterion for judging an asset management company is its
investment philosophy.
Steven Charles Capital’s performance is the end product of a rational and rigorous
approach. We view buying stock as if we are purchasing the entire business, selecting
only those companies that have:
• a sustainable competitive advantage
• outstanding shareholder-oriented management
• long-term predictable earnings growth
• high level of discretionary cash flow
We minimize investment risk by selecting only those companies that meet our strict
criteria.
Service + Support
While investment returns are an important part of the equation, our firm is also renowned
for providing an exceptionally high level of client service. Every portfolio is
individually managed and every client benefits from direct access to decision-makers.
We've experienced extremely low client turnover since our inception in the mid 1980s,
and we have increased our client base almost entirely through personal referrals.
At Steven Charles Capital, we never lose sight of the fact that our clients have entrusted us with their
financial futures. We take that responsibility very seriously.

local
“Local” is more than around the corner or down the street.
Local is about where you’re from, how you grew up and the unique characteristics
that make you who you are.
Local is rooted. It’s part of the landscape and woven into the fabric. It’s the
heritage that defines a place and makes it distinct from all others.
Local doesn’t buy customers; it earns them by delivering valued service at a
reasonable price with integrity and personal attention.
Alliance Bank is local. We didn’t move here; we’ve been here all along, taking in
local deposits from people we know and using those deposits to finance local
mortgages, local car loans, and local business loans.
For us, banking is more than a business. The people we serve are neighbors and
friends. We live by the decisions we make here. There’s no luxury of distance
between us and our customers.
We deliver the best possible financial products and services to our customers,
face-to-face in our branches or online.
We didn’t move into town. We were here. We grew up here. This is home.
That’s what makes us local, and proud of it.

Jonathan's Story
Jonathan Reid MacCrea was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia when he was six months
old. His four year old brother, Matthew, courageously donated his bone marrow to Jon, but 15 months
later, after a valiant struggle, Jonathan died. In Jon's home state of New Jersey, he and his family were
assisted by two organizations dedicated to the needs of families with children facing cancer. Realizing
there must be a similar need in Central New York, and as a memorial to her grandson, Syracuse
resident Pat MacCrea founded The Jonathan Cancer Fund in 1993.
How We Help
Many expenses associated with childhood cancer are not covered by insurance.
Additionally, during treatment, there are many hidden expenses, which may strain
a family. The Jonathan Cancer Fund can offer assistance with some of these
unexpected costs, including special equipment, doctor and drug co-pays, travel,
car repairs and phone expenses. Sometimes when a child is critically ill, one
parent may have to leave his/her job to care for that child. The Jonathan Cancer
Fund can help with utility bills, rent or mortgage payments, etc.
These are difficult
times and we really
need your help!
The Jonathan Cancer Fund can help with managing contributions made to your fundraising efforts.
Contributions made to the Jonathan Cancer Fund for a particular child are confidential, are tax
deductible and every dollar donated is passed on to meet the needs of that specific family.
Meal cards, phone cards, and gas cards are also made available to families while their child is a patient
at University Hospital.
