The Turning Pointe School of Ballet performs “Bolero” by Maurice Ravel and “Peer Gynt” by Edvard Greig. Original chorographer and also principal dancer was Jaclyn Gailit-Lutz, instructor, accompanied by Michelle Sekunda and Kendra Billman. It was all part of a dedication of a new gazebo at the James V. Brown Library.

Sitting in what once was described as the hub of “inherited knowledge,” an intricately-crafted gazebo — devised by city artist Marguerite P. Bierman — ceremonially was unveiled and dedicated Sunday afternoon. Officials at the James V. Brown Library believe the new “striking” and “classical” iron structure, designed to evoke repose and creative thought, reintroduces art to a place known for inspiring contemplation. Along with interpretive dance and poetry, Bierman, along with her mother Priscilla and brother George, dedicated the gazebo in the library reading room to the memories of her late father Lt. Col. Clarence Bierman and sister Suzette Bedford. The celebration also was accompanied by song, an originally choreographed ballet routine by Dance Premier: Turning Pointe School of Ballet, and the reading of “The Phenomenon of Melted Love,” a poem written by Dr. Norman E. Wengert, Bierman’s husband. About 140 people attended the event.
