SAMARA to present
Third Annual Garden Party

WEST LAFAYETTE – The John Christian Family Trust, administrators of the Frank Lloyd house SAMARA, in cooperation with Wabash Valley Youth Symphony will host Musical Delights at Frank Lloyd Wright’s SAMARA on Sunday June 1, 2008. The Garden Party will run from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm with outdoor performances by members of the Wabash Valley Youth Symphony scheduled throughout the afternoon. The event is being sponsored in cooperation with Bison Financial Group and Plan It Events.

Guests will experience the home with a guided tour as well as enjoy hearing several Beethoven pieces performed in the valley by individual members (quartet for instance) of the Wabash Valley Youth Symphony. Refreshments will also be available from SnowBear Frozen Custard and Bea One.

SAMARA is the name of the Usonian-style home Frank Lloyd Wright designed in 1955 for Dr. & Mrs. John E. Christian in West Lafayette, Indiana. Mr. Wright designed the home, the furniture and the landscaping. One of the last designs of this kind, it has been magnificently maintained as Wright intended.

The Wabash Valley Youth Symphony was founded in 1999 and is Greater Lafayette’s first and only youth symphony. The symphony provides youth from Tippecanoe and surrounding counties the opportunity to perform in ensembles with other musically talented youth.

Beethoven is known as Mr. Wright’s favorite composer and it is fitting that the Youth Symphony will be performing Beethoven in the valley at SAMARA throughout the afternoon. The featured performance will be Beethoven’s 7th Symphony.

Tickets will be available at the entrance to SAMARA. Ticket prices are $20 for adults and $5 for students, 18 and under. Adult admission includes $5 worth of food tickets. Additional food tickets will be available for purchase on the grounds. SAMARA is located at 1301 Woodlawn Avenue, West Lafayette, IN. Directions as well as additional information are available on the website www.samara-house.org. Proceeds will benefit the John Christian Family Trust and Wabash Valley Youth Symphony. ###
