He resigned his position as chairman of  the School of Fine Arts at Yale University and built Garth Newel in 1924  where the couple trained and rode fine Arabian horses, painted, and  enjoyed musical evenings in their home with friends. Unfortunately Mr.  Kendall suffered serious riding accidents in 1931 and 1937. He never  recovered from the latter and died in February of 1938 at the age of 69.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXi5b4DcsuopHO4ey3WhkJ_HtfPPOlMz9IAP_GSrP0yLjHnrVQvFe5jIxjYH9-havKR6ySClpbj2t1iuNHjEg0gAeEhoC-3HIGFqABrpwWEqcTWExy2606a7m_anv2ltRy4JMKxoHbDRvR/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXi5b4DcsuopHO4ey3WhkJ_HtfPPOlMz9IAP_GSrP0yLjHnrVQvFe5jIxjYH9-havKR6ySClpbj2t1iuNHjEg0gAeEhoC-3HIGFqABrpwWEqcTWExy2606a7m_anv2ltRy4JMKxoHbDRvR/s400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Christine Herter Kendall was born in 1890 and grew up in New York City  in a family devoted to the arts.  Her first cousin was Christian Herter,  Secretary of State in the Eisenhower Administration.  Her early life in  this prominent family shaped her career as an accomplished artist,  musician, and patron of the arts. Christine studied the violin as a  child and her family spent many evenings playing chamber music together.  She went on to study painting in Paris and then at Yale. She continued  to paint throughout her life and many of her paintings hang here at  Garth Newel.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7Kpgnfs8IS7fzwMpoVwpwlSb9mHeGkIjzLWP8R2dwRZ1E18s_5vGv-MAo0ZlrOq00Eg1bh8NWX1Y1DK6z09zipKFprB-HnzegsNEHmisglNXqw0F790_omM5IRy3JipXITyHEkvf1Y8b/s1600/20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7Kpgnfs8IS7fzwMpoVwpwlSb9mHeGkIjzLWP8R2dwRZ1E18s_5vGv-MAo0ZlrOq00Eg1bh8NWX1Y1DK6z09zipKFprB-HnzegsNEHmisglNXqw0F790_omM5IRy3JipXITyHEkvf1Y8b/s400/20.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Following her husband’s death, Christine donated much of the property to  the Girl Scouts of America to be used as a summer camp. The Girl Scouts  found that it was too much to maintain, so she regained possession in  1969 and began to search for another use.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ZLktlui0wfcfPw3pVeeVFTwYYuXceGQQd3NZAU2hi-xZf-ozOQJnfJWKL_qFTCX5DjlMlZlkt3uGk-BKx3MJO1YW_83sMUHGBTZpLw5X4JZlmIcxIloN3y1Ug0gVKHQKmuKP_BHq92r3/s1600/21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ZLktlui0wfcfPw3pVeeVFTwYYuXceGQQd3NZAU2hi-xZf-ozOQJnfJWKL_qFTCX5DjlMlZlkt3uGk-BKx3MJO1YW_83sMUHGBTZpLw5X4JZlmIcxIloN3y1Ug0gVKHQKmuKP_BHq92r3/s400/21.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">A mutual friend arranged for Christine to meet Luca and Arlene DiCecco,  who at the time were cellist and violinist of the Rowe String Quartet.  At Christine’s urging the DiCeccos began a chamber music study program  for their students in the summer of 1973, and the Rowe Quartet began  giving concerts on the property. Christine arranged for repairs to  long-abandoned buildings, including the conversion of the indoor riding  ring where the Arabian horses had once trained into a wonderful concert  hall.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWCmt73dukUbpE3Nwv4XekIoLHvz-zWFk0HcsMug9KeAE170hEleCM7Q1TbokIwaK38fEDegoipwSvhqWRaDtzDfTazgN2_bmzT_KqkRlnUPh1elf-tkoUWs3n7Vlv1uCVn2bWCohx8cp/s1600/22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHWCmt73dukUbpE3Nwv4XekIoLHvz-zWFk0HcsMug9KeAE170hEleCM7Q1TbokIwaK38fEDegoipwSvhqWRaDtzDfTazgN2_bmzT_KqkRlnUPh1elf-tkoUWs3n7Vlv1uCVn2bWCohx8cp/s400/22.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Christine died in June 1981, bequeathing the property and a modest fund  to the Garth Newel Music Center Foundation. The DiCeccos devoted  themselves to the continued development of the Music Center and it grew  from a season of a half-dozen concerts in the mid-70s to more than 50  today. In addition to playing the violin, Arlene used her talents as  chef to add gourmet meals to the concerts. Overnight accommodations in  the Manor House, as well as the beautiful scenery, complete an aesthetic  experience that is second to none.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8dy14m7eoIL8sJ9BwBd3Hgym-SmO0L-N0PQyP5WsARTXrwY3pBIJBZW6zCj7JwgO_tT3Obf6K91ISqC7o6yX2l4brea0Ri2BVivoa1JY8hevCC_ksGuYKg8awLYM7cmBZ1d0jWtRotxf/s1600/39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8dy14m7eoIL8sJ9BwBd3Hgym-SmO0L-N0PQyP5WsARTXrwY3pBIJBZW6zCj7JwgO_tT3Obf6K91ISqC7o6yX2l4brea0Ri2BVivoa1JY8hevCC_ksGuYKg8awLYM7cmBZ1d0jWtRotxf/s400/39.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> After 25 years of artistry and indefatigable effort the DiCeccos  retired.
