John Borek, a serious and zany man of the arts, dies at 71

John Borek One of the final acts of John Borek, one of many acts of his life, was to send 5-foot-tall cardboard cutouts of chocolate rabbits to friends in celebration of Easter, one of his favorite holidays. Borek, a man of many hats known for his zany theatrics and serious commitment to the Rochester arts and cultural scene, died Saturday. He was 71 and had been ill with leukemia. He was many things to many people in the city. There were his 15 years as a legislative aide to former City Councilman Adam McFadden. In February, the City Council proclaimed Feb. 16 as “John W. Borek Day,” celebrating “a life story greater than the sum of all its chapters.”

With 2020 in the rear view, can we reconnect with arts and culture in 2021?

Holly Cole S band makes an entrance at Harro East Ballroom during the Rochester International Jazz Festival, pre-pandemic, in 2015. For most of 2020, I’ve been working from a second-floor room at my house in Charlotte. Typing, doing phone interviews, waiting for a neighbor to finish mowing his lawn so I can record something for broadcast. October came and went quietly. For the first time ever, no trick-or-treaters showed up at our door on Halloween. October also marked my first-year anniversary of working full-time at WXXI. And doing the math on my fingers, I see that I have actually spent more days working from this room, rather than at my desk at 280 State St. because of the coronavirus pandemic, of course.

Fringe fest, Cure team up for Shotspeare on New Year s Eve

Originally published on December 29, 2020 1:55 pm “The start of this story,” says Donny Clutterbuck, “could potentially be the trials and tribulations of becoming a different business every month.” Thanks, Donny. I’ll take it from here. Clutterbuck is the bar manager at Cure, which offers French farmhouse cuisine at the Rochester Public Market. It’s one of the small treasures on the culinary scene here. And like all restaurants and bars in the COVID-19 era, the trial it’s been undergoing is the coronavirus pandemic. As an orange zone designee, Cure is open only for takeout. But to sidestep the tribulations, it’s trying out other ideas.

KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival and Cure team up for Shotspeare on New Year s Eve | Culture

Thanks Donny. I’ll take it from here. Clutterbuck is the bar manager at Cure, located at the Rochester Public Market. It’s one of the small treasures on the culinary scene here. And like all restaurants and bars in the COVID-19 era, the trial it’s been undergoing is the coronavirus pandemic. As an Orange Zone designee, Cure is open only for take-out. But to sidestep the tribulations, it’s trying out other ideas. For New Year’s Eve, Clutterbuck and Cure have hooked up with the KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival for the return of one of that event’s most-intoxicating shows from the last couple of years: “Shotspeare Presents: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, sort of.”
