As an admitted cheese fanatic – This could be very cool. From a press release:

Fresh Cheese Making Class with Urbana Chef John Critchley
Guests will make their own cheeses, sample wine, cheese and charcuterie

What: Executive Chef John Critchley, who has created his own in-house cheeses at Urbana, will lead a class on how to make fresh fromage blanc, mozzarella and haloumi. The class will be held at the pizza bar and will include an interactive lesson during which guests will make their own fromage blanc, mozzarella and haloumi cheeses from scratch. Chef Critchley will engage participants in a discussion on cheese making while guests nibble on cheese and charcuterie and enjoy samples of wine. Guests will also be able to take home recipe cards so they can prepare fresh cheeses at home, as well as honey and marmalades to pair with their cheese. This is the first in a series of classes by Chef Critchley that will highlight the various techniques he employs at the restaurant. Forthcoming classes will include a lamb cooking demo in partnership with Border Springs Lamb (April 21) and a demo on chef’s favorite cocktails in partnership with lead bartender Obi Emenyonu (June 9th). In the fall, classes will continue with a knife skills demonstration, and oyster selection, shucking and cooking class in the winter.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
