The gallery is dedicated to promoting and showcasing emerging contemporary artists from the city of St. Petersburg in Russia. Originally established in 2005 in Saint Petersburg, as an exclusive setting to present works of local artists to a Russian audience, Erarta Galleries has since expanded its vision promoting the reawakening of Russian art and culture to an international audience. Our aim is to free Russian contemporary art from conventionality and stereotypes. In today¹s exciting renaissance of contemporary Russian art, a new generation of artists is emerging, many of whom Erarta Galleries is pleased to exhibit. Different in form, symbolism and technique, this new avant-guarde is characterised by a reinvigorated sense of freedom. Erarta Galleries are present in Saint Petersburg, London, New York and Zurich.

The Canterbury Choral Society's mission to present sacred choral masterpieces in sacred spaces with their full original orchestrations was entirely innovative and untried when the group began in 1952; its half-century-long success without any deviation from its original mission is unparalleled in New York City. Canterbury's concerts bring together a unique combination of volunteer, semi-professional and professional musicians under the leadership of Charles Dodsley Walker, a musician, organist, and conductor who has been making music for over sixty years. In 2014, Maestro Walker selected Jonathan DeVries, and long-time collaborator with Canterbury Choral Society and well respected conductor and music educator in New York City, as Associate Music Director and Conductor. The Canterbury Choral Society (CCS), initially a musical outreach project of the Church of the Heavenly Rest in New York City, was "for the purpose of presenting programs of the finest sacred choral music, to be given in church and with the required instrumental accompaniment." From the beginning of Canterbury Choral Society, Heavenly Rest parishioners, and other volunteer vocalists have gathered to sing and rehearse under Charlie Walker's leadership. Though most Canterbury concerts retained some characteristics of a church service — a performance is preceded and concluded with a hymn, for instance — critics occasionally came to Canterbury concerts as they never would to other church recitals: they reviewed Canterbury performances as they would regular concerts in major concert halls. Over the years, Canterbury singers have numbered over 500. More than 3,000 children have sung with the chorus. Canterbury has performed over two hundred formal concerts and Canterbury singers have participated in scores of theatre productions, ceremonies and services throughout the metropolitan region. In 1988 Canterbury Choral Society became administratively independent from the Church of the Heavenly Rest, though rehearsals and concerts continue at this wonderful and sacred space located on Fifth Avenue at 90th Street in Manhattan's Carnegie Hill neighborhood.

Why do the Philippine Jesuits need your help? As soon as a young man desiring to become a priest enters the Society of Jesus at Sacred Heart Novitiate (SHN), Quezon City, the Philippine Province takes care of his board and lodging, his education and basic formation for the next eleven or twelve years. At the end of this period, the Jesuit is ordained a priest. Because of the desire of the Society of Jesus that this priest or brother becomes an expert in his field, he is usually sent for further studies, called “Special Studies”. Usually, this is a doctorate degree; in some cases, a master’s degree. The “Special Studies” is normally pursued outside the Philippines, often in Europe or the United States, and is funded by the Philippine Province. Once this priest or brother obtains his degree, he is finally assigned to the apostolate. More often than not, he is sent to an educational institution, like the university. Only then does the Philippine Province cease financial support. The educational or other apostolic institutions then provides for his needs. Upon retirement, the Jesuit returns to the auspices of the Philippine Province. The Province provides for board, lodging and medical care, until he dies and is buried at Sacred Heart Novitiate (SHN). And so it is the Philippine Province who takes care of the young man in his formation, stretching for about 16 years, and in retirement, for another 15 - 20 years, until his death and burial at SHN (where he begins and also ends his religious life)—having given all of his life to God! Many alumni of our universities and schools are understandably more than eager to donate to their alma mater, and we thank them for their generosity. Unfortunately, they assume that they are also donating to the Philippine Province --which is not true. That is why we appeal to you that the Philippine Province, not just Jesuit universities and schools, needs your massive support! When you donate, write your check to “Philippine Jesuit Foundation” and at the memo line indicate: “Formation Fund” and/or “Elderly and Infirm Fund”. We thank you for your help.
Classical architecture, derived from Greeks and Romans, could be described as America's national architecture. Thomas Jefferson encouraged it for our young republic because it stood the test of time for thousands of years. Our nation's Capitol, the White House, and the most important public buildings in Washington, D.C. are all examples of classical architecture. Rome and Greece were in full flower again as our nation began. Partly by accident and partly by design, most of the houses in the CAHPT collection were built in the early 19th century. Classical American Homes Preservation Trust is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization that now owns three properties and opens them for public enjoyment. The other three homes in Classical American Homes' "collection" are still owned by Richard Hampton Jenrette, and are slated to one day be given to the foundation. All tour and event proceeds are given to CAHPT to preserve, protect and keep open these unique examples of classical residential architecture.

The House at 7 East 95th Street was built between 1914 and 1916 to serve as the town residence of Edith Shepard Fabbri, great granddaughter of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, and her husband, Ernesto Fabbri. It was designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, an American architect and town planner trained at L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. The interior decoration, however, was executed by Egisto Fabbri, Ernesto Fabbri’s brother, who incorporated the Fabbri collection of Italian Renaissance and Baroque furnishings and architectural fragments into his designs. In 1949, inspired by a sermon preached by the Rt. Rev. Austin Pardue on the necessity of silence and prayer in the spiritual life, Edith Fabbri founded House of the Redeemer. A new not-for-profit corporation by that name was formed to receive the gift of her house, which was for the use of retreats and to be a “place apart.” The Rt. Rev. Charles K. Glibert, Bishop of New York, was the first president of the board of trustees. The House of the Redeemer was operated by the Sisters of St. Mary from 1949 until 1980, at which time the first residential Warden was appointed to run it. At the present time the House is run by special committees of the board and the spiritual care is provided by “priests in residence.”
