We’re celebrating, observing, and admiring the eclipse from 2 PM – 4:30 PM on Monday, April 8. The peak of the eclipse will occur around 3:20 PM. In this free, family-friendly event we’ll be doing all kinds of activities. If crowd-sizes permit, we’ll look through our specially filtered solar telescopes directly at stages of the eclipse itself. We’ll even have eclipse glasses available while supplies last. Possible activities include making a solar projector, sun prints, and contributing to solar science by observing the sun. Activities will be available at set times throughout the event, options will be modified to suit crowd size. Stop by for a few minutes, or stay the whole time. This event will be held at the Night Sky Public viewing area on the north side of Route 44. No pets, please. Large crowds and sensitive equipment do not create a pet-friendly environment.

Wednesday Morning Musicales Present the Music and Marvels of Ancient Egypt
2024-04-10 10:15 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
See the sights of Egypt without leaving Wellsboro. Margery Hoffman and her sister Judith Artley of Framingham, Mass., will present a program for Wednesday Morning Musicales on April 10 at 10:15 a.m. at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center about their 2023 trip to Egypt.
The presentation will consist of slides and recorded Nubian music. They will show the ancient sites of this exotic country and introduce some of the ancient musical instruments used to worship the gods.
The travelogue will start near Cairo, at the Pyramids in Dahshur and Giza, before flying to Luxor to uncover the Valley of the Kings and tour the temples of Luxor and Karnak and Dendera.
It’s at the Dendera complex that the audience will be introduced to ancient instruments and the goddess Hathor as well as the dwarf god Bes, as documented on the temple walls. They will travel by river boat upstream on the Nile River to Aswan to partake in high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel where Agatha Christie was inspired to write “Death on the Nile.”
Next, is Nubian music played by instruments documented in Egypt as early as 1300 BC. The mizmar, a double-reeded woodwind, is very foreign to western ears. The final stop is the Philae Temple, relocated between the low dam and the high dam. Like Dendera, this temple also devoted to worshipping Hathor and Bes.
The trip continues to Abu Simbel Temple near the Sudanese boarder to hear a Nubian folk band sing about the displacement of families due to the building of the high dam and Lake Nassar.
The Musicales meets on the second Wednesday of each month, September through May. The organization was formed in 1934 to promote interest in music among its members and in the community. Each meeting showcases local talent. All events are free and open to the public.
