Publisher’s Column by Barry Plaxen HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY CANVAS! CANVAS is thrilled to announce that the painting on our June 2016 cover, HMS Bounty by Mary Mugele Sealfon, was purchased by an art lover after she saw the cover and then went to the Scenes of Newburgh exhibit at SUNY Orange in Newburgh to buy it, and also purchased another Sealfon work and one by Mitchell Saler that are in the exhibit, which runs through August 4. See page 29. That happened once before when someone saw a painting by Gene Bové on a CANVAS cover and purchased it. Note: The Hudson River ArtFest, postponed from June 4, is taking place July 16 in New Windsor. See ad page 12 for time and location. If our newspaper is unique, here’s why. We reside in an arts-loving area with many unique events and talented and inspired creators in just about every nook and cranny of Orange, Sullivan and Pike counties. Here’s a few unusual events to find out about in this issue. Leo’s Restaurant & Pizzeria in Cornwall and The Grange in Warwick are just two of the scores of area restaurants that display and sell local art. See page 22 for a story on one restaurant’s art that is NOT on the walls. See page 19 for what I think is the most unique act of the month: two guys who perform hip-hop versions of literary classics, i.e. Waiting for Godot and Moby Dick. See page 19 to be informed about SUNY Sullivan’s expansion with arts related subjects for adults, teens and kids to be taught in Narrowsburg. See page 11 to learn how your child can have the opportunity to conduct a symphony orchestra. See page 28 to read about an early 18th century instrument that, to my knowledge, is

being played for the first time in the Hudson and Delaware Valleys. See page 12 for a rare presentation of a groundbreaking work by Arnold Schönberg that is so unique you’d think he lived in Orange or Sullivan County. See page 24 for a way to celebrate Olivia de Havilland’s 100th birthday. See pages 10 and 23 for world-renown soul and jazz performers. See page 31 for a Best Play Tony Award winner in Ellenville. See page 32 for a theatrical play, for which the audience has to walk around a farm. See page 7 for a guy who weaves spoken word stories that come to life painted on the faces of the audience members. See page 6 for a profound quote from T.S. Eliot. See page 9 for an un-museum-like museum visit. I was told that once upon a time, in the 1960s and 1970s, there was a village in Holland where cars were left in the street with keys in them for anyone to drive them where they needed to go (in the village) and when you arrived at your destination, you left the car for the next person to use. Well, on page 5 we have a village that has pianos in the streets for anyone to play. See page 5 and see me!

First Friday in Westbrookville, July 1

Borscht Belt Gallery, Hurleyville

Interact with actors! Make welcomed comments! The Block Party, a new play by Mark Philip Stone, will be read for your entertainment and review in a coffee house setting, on stage at the Absinthe Café where a series of First Friday events began in May and continues through September. Stone is a Monstre Sacre, the cousin everyone dearly loves yet never discusses in polite conversation. His opinions border on revolution. Polymath, author, scientist,

artist, photographer, he moves with facility over several genres allowing them to seamlessly overlap; he simply does not see the boundaries that constrain others. Spend a relaxing evening on July 1 at 6:00pm at the informal Blackfeather Retreat, 1833 Route 209, 4.8 miles south of Route 17/ Exit 113 (Wurtsboro). “Refreshments will be served - BYOB, and a collection will be taken,” said Stone. Visit www.spiritcrow.com for details.

The Sullivan County Historical Society has been the recipient of several grants from local individuals and with it have been able to create a new gallery in the Sullivan County Museum called: The Borscht Belt. There is currently a display of Elaine Grossinger Etess’ collection. The exhibit centers more around personalities - including a great picture of Eleanor Roosevelt with Jennie Grossinger. There also is a small picture of the very first host of Grossinger’s, the original grandmother doing laundry for her guests by hand at the creek on the Grossinger Farm. The gallery is dedicated to a condensed,

illustrated history of what popularly became known as the Borscht Belt. Associate Curator Bill Gronwald has assembled information from many sources including the extensive files in the Society’s archives. The opening is planned for July 3 at 2:00pm, with musical entertainment (tunes from the resort era) by Patti Greco after a discussion, The Borscht Belt: Where it Fits in Sullivan County’s History led by popular Sullivan County Historian, John Conway. The Sullivan County Museum is located at 265 Main Street in Hurleyville. For information, call 845-434-8044.

Stellar award nominated recording artist Ralph Williams is an innovative and unprecedented artist that hails from Newburgh. He is an anointed musician, three octave singer, songwriter, and dancer, and currently a musician and choir director at his home church, The Cathedral House of Refuge Int’l Ministries in Newburgh. Williams won first place in the In The Mix Talent Search which was aired live on LifeZoneTv. He has made guest appearances and has been featured on artists’ projects such as Level Squad and the live recording of Jeffrey C. Woody and The

Restoration Choir. He has also sung before Gospel greats such as Donnie McClurkin, J. Moss, 21:03, Karen Clarke-Sheard, Twinkie Clark, Tamela Mann, and Youthful Praise. Not only is Ralph a vocalist, he is also a choreographer for the Newburgh Performing Arts Academy. Listen to Ralph sing gospel and soul tunes when he performs in The Lobby at The Ritz Theatre, 109 Broadway, Newburgh, on July 9 at 8:00pm. For tickets and additional information, call the box office at 845-784-1199.

Composer Gustavo Leone is a Professor at the Department of Fine and Performing Arts of Loyola University, Chicago. Leone’s music is intense and angular; it conveys propulsion through rhythm and makes use of clear forms and associations. Raffaele Calace (18631934) was an Italian mandolin player, composer, and luthier. He initially trained to be a musician, discovered the mandolin, and soon became a virtuoso. After Calace graduated with high honers from the Regio Conservatorio di Musica in Naples, he set out to elevate the mandolin’s place in music.

One of today’s leading mandolin duos, Caterina Lichtenberg and Mike Marshall, each from very different musical backgrounds, have begun what is sure to be one of the sweetest collaborations in the long and varied history of their chosen instrument. From Bach to Brazil, a concert presented by Kindred Spirits Arts, will feature the duo playing music by Bach, Vivaldi, Leone, Calace, and some of their own works, on July 9 at 5:30pm. Location: Grey Towers National Historic Site, 122 Old Owego Turnpike, Milford. For tickets, call 570-409-1269.

Save the Date! Goshen Art Walk: July 1

Pen & Ink artwork by Bruce Young

For the July 1 Goshen Art Walk each site will feature a two-month long show running through the end of August. After two recent shows at the Goshen Music Hall, which heavily featured mixed media and more contemporary 3D works, July’s show is a return to classic Village Scenes and architectural paintings and drawings. It draws heavily on local scenes and harkens back to traditional works, such as those that might have been shown by the original members of the Goshen Art League (GAL). The show includes works by two former presidents of GAL, Pat Mohr and Sheila St. Lawrence. Also included are works by Gene Bové. The featured artist of the exhibit will be Bruce Young, new to the Art Walk. Young’s work includes finely detailed pen and ink drawings of local architecture.

Different facets of 1930s life comes alive as visitors “become” part of them: Barbering, laundry, barnyard, school and more, each creating a distinct experience to delve into, explore, touch and best of all, take and share photos of yourself(ie)! A thoroughly enjoyable un-museum like experience, visitors can ring the bell and sit at a desk of a one room school, give a friend a “shave” at a barber shop, do laundry the old fashioned way, milk a cow at a barnyard, and even use an outhouse - well, hopefully not REALLY use it! The exhibit is on display through Labor Day Weekend. The Daniel Pierce Library’s Studio Monday Art Group meets weekly at the library on Mondays from 9:30am to 12:30pm. The group is exhibiting and selling artworks from July 17-August 31. Many paintings will remain on display in the library’s lower level throughout the year. An opening reception with refreshments

will be held on July 17 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at the library, 328 Main Street. The group welcomes new members in all artistic mediums. Call 845-985-7233 for additional information.

“Stirring Art” in Rock Tavern

Dialogs is the new exhibit opening in the Sanctuary Art Gallery of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation (UUC) at Rock Tavern. This two-person show features the works of Charles Lang and Alice Sipple. Each artist reveals in their own uniquely different ways how a powerful interplay of color and form creates a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Their work stirs the viewer by inviting them in to participate in the dialog they have begun. Charles Lang describes: “I let the simple stories I’m telling be told and leave it to others to intellectualize.” Formally trained as a musician at the Berklee School of Music, 6 years ago he began to paint, with no formal training in the Visual Arts whatsoever. “Art is a dialog,” he states, where “step by step it evolves.” And he adds: “There’s a hump to get over in each picture.” Alice Sipple explores the juxtaposition of symbols and shapes which are composed

in a way that one can only describe as “loving.” They communicate with each other deeply, with a quiet, yet forceful passion. And they draw us into their mystery. Born and raised on the west coast, Alice has spent time teaching in Switzerland, Ecuador, and Bolivia. The years abroad made a deep impression on her, particularly time spent in South America where many indigenous peoples are still in touch with earth-centered spirituality. Alice has lived through several volcanic eruptions in her lifetime. She respects the power that lies within the earth, and, in keeping with the ancient traditions of many cultures, considers mountains to be spiritual links between the earth and sky. Her artwork revolves around concepts of feminine spirituality. The exhibit runs through December 30, 2016. For further information contact gallery curator Roberta Green at: rgclaycreations@aol.com

Weekend of Chamber Music’s (WCM) 23rd season is here, and this year’s festival, We’ll Always Have Paris, runs from July 16-31 with no less than 20 outstanding musicians. WCM will present 11 events at all its usual and unusual venues in Sullivan and surrounding counties, with the addition of the Catskill Art Society and The Narrowsburg Union, as well as the Cooperage in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. As the classic line from Casablanca suggests, the festival’s programming this year takes us to France, for a tour of French and French-inspired music, old and new. Joining forces with WCM for the Summer Festival will be Philadelphia-based composer in residence Anna Weesner, an American steeped in the music of France whose work has been performed by artists such as soprano Dawn Upshaw, along with Armand Angster and Françoise Kubler, founders of the French ensemble Accroche Note and champions of music from the Old World and the New. Accroche Note also specializes in free improvisation, and will contribute a new sound and approach to one of the Festival’s most distinctive ongoing features. Weesner (b.1965) is the recipient of a 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship and a 2008 award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She has received many other awards. Her music has been described as “animated

and full of surprising turns” (New York Times, Oct. 10, 2003), as “a haunting conspiracy” (Philadelphia Inquirer, April 24, 2001) and cited as demonstrating “an ability to make complex textures out of simple devices” (San Francisco Classical Voice, March 27, 2001). Composer, John Harbison has written that “none of it proceeds in obvious ways. Her vocabulary is subtle and rather elusive; the effect is paradoxically confident and decisive.” The Festival programs trace five centuries of music, with works of Couperin, SaintSaëns, Debussy, and André Cablet; new solo and duo works by Pascal Dusapin and FrancoLebanese composer Zad Moultaka; vocal and chamber works of Anna Weesner that weave European and American classical, pop and folk threads into a unique and beautiful tapestry; and the theatrical, world-changing, Pierrot lunaire (Pierrot in the Moonlight) of Schönberg.

André Caplet (1878-1925) was a French composer and conductor now known primarily through his orchestrations of works by Claude Debussy. Pascal Dusapin (b.1955) is a contemporary French composer. His music is marked by its microtonality, tension, and energy. Zad Moultaka (b.1967) is a Lebanese composer and pianist. WCM continues to heighten the chamber music experience through pre-concert talks, open workshops and discussions with the guest composer, during which audience members can both observe festival artists at work and ask questions in real-time. And the geographic reach of the festival continues to grow, with WCM presenting its final weekend of events at the Catskill Art Society in Livingston Manor. The gala concert on July 30 features: Pierrot lunaire, Op. 21, a melodrama by Arnold Schönberg. It is a setting of 21 selected

poems from Otto Erich Hartleben’s German translation of Albert Giraud’s cycle of French poems of the same name. The narrator (voice-type unspecified in the score, but traditionally performed by a soprano) delivers the poems in the Sprechstimme style, a cross between speaking and singing in which the tone quality of speech is heightened and lowered in pitch along melodic contours indicated in the musical notation, a fashionable musical style popular at the end of the nineteenth century. The melodrama is in atonal form, yet does not use Schönberg’s twelve-tone technique. Last but not least, renowned Lincoln Center Arts in Education character Wolfgang Amadeus Schmutzinberry will make an appearance in Wolfgang Has Writer’s Block on July 31 at the Narrowsburg Union in Narrowsburg with a free program for kids.

Slam, Saturday, Stills Amazing Orange Libraries Summer Scavenger Hunt Scavenger hunts are popular activities. Many are designed specifically to promote a particular cause and/or the acquisition of knowledge within a specified genre. Numerous hunts are light hearted while others, to accommodate their objectives, concentrate their efforts on an actual or even a mysterious imagined event. For example, think about the Metropolitan Museum of Art and its notorious scavenger hunt, where teams set out and scour the museum hunting for clues. It’s a classic whodunit. Each turn or twist is designed to reveal clues leading to identification of a suspected murderer. The thrust of the event, of course, is to familiarize participants with the great works of art contained in the Met’s vast collection. Not to be upstaged, the Orange Library Association (OLA) has designed its own scavenger hunt. The OLA will host the Amazing Orange Libraries Summer Scavenger Hunt from July 5-August 12. The organization has stated its purpose “to increase the level of awareness of all that Orange County libraries have to offer in the way of services and programs, including museum passes, downloadable e-books, digital

magazines, best sellers, maker spaces and more.” As is the general practice, teams will be formed and may consist of one to four participants. There will be a total of 30 challenging tasks on the Amazing Orange Libraries game board. Those teams completing a minimum of 20 tasks will then be eligible to enter a drawing of their choice for three fantastic prizes: “A $200 Castle Fun Center (Chester) gift card, a $200 Galleria at Crystal Run (Middletown) gift card and a $200 Eisenhower Hall Theater (West Point) gift card.” To add excitement and challenge to the event, scavengers will complete 3 levels of tasks

(Purple, Orange, and Green) aimed at the hunt’s objectives. To point out an interesting example of a task to be completed and documented with a photo is a visit to the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame on Main Street in Goshen. One of the possible activities to be verified at the museum is the race simulator. This exciting and unusual event allows the participant to drive a sulky to the finish line in the 3-D simulator. This is but one of the several activities designed to promote awareness of the wealth of information and experiences available through the library system of Orange County. Libraries today are not the libraries of even the recent past. The prestigious OLA’s purpose is to promote the current reality of the public library. It retains books, of course, but as it exists in the 17 public libraries of Orange County, the reality is the libraries are now true multi-media centers. Keep in mind, OLA is not just for librarians! It is intended for residents who love the concept of books, information and the various and exciting media that is yet to be discovered. Those interested can call Karen LaRoccaFels of the Cornwall Public Library at 845534-8282 or Catina Strauss, President, Monroe Free Library, 845-783-4411.

More than just a singer, songwriter, and guitar player, Monticello native Slam Allen a.k.a. The Soulworking Man, connects with his audience like entertainers from a bygone era. Think: Otis Redding, BB, Albert, and Freddie King, with a blend of Wilson Picket, James Brown, Sly Stone and a little George Benson and Jimi Hendrix peppered in to make a unique musical experience! The Slam Allen Band will perform on a Saturday Night in the Summer at the Stills Catskill Distilling Company’s Dancing Cat Saloon, that is! So come out for hot blues in a hot town on a hot night, July 23 at 8:30pm! The Dancing Cat Saloon is located at 2037 Route 17B in Bethel. For information, call 845-583-3141.

Spotlight On: The Sugar Loaf Guild by Sharon McKane Get Diltzed! A wide grassy path between Endico and J. Hengen Studios, led me to Sugar Loaf Gallery and Framing, a charming artsy wood cottage tucked behind the aforementioned. I was immediately struck by the artwork and precision mitering on their beautiful handmade barnwood frames. A soft voice greeted me and offered assistance. I declined, introduced myself, and started asking questions. Deborah and Tim Diltz married in 1962, in Fairfax, Virginia. In 1968, they became part of the “Drop-Out” generation. They dropped out and didn’t tune in, left the “rat race” listening to Ray Steven’s Mr. Businessman in their Volkswagen hatchback and then dropped in to Sugar Loaf where they met Peter Lendved, who had established his candle shop in 1968. Tim was inspired by Peter, and decided to make barnwood siding candle holders with metal inserts. They rapidly sold out in Peter’s shop and a new business was born. In the beginning, Tim mitered his frames with a homemade jig. He purchased his first miter machine during the 1970s Craft Wave. His wares ranged from the original weathered barnwood candle holders to planters, spice racks, bookends, mirrors and shelves. Their business was off and running. Soon, customers started requesting custom frames from barnwood. At that juncture, Tim

Delaware & Hudson CANVAS

decided to visit frame shops in NYC. He pounded the pavement, met potential clients and wrote up fifty good accounts, including Macy’s. Tim’s weathered never-painted barnwood frames could now be found in shops from the east coast to the west coast. He worked one hundred hours a week in their old carriage house to supply his wholesale customers. He opened his present shop in 1973. Their picture frames are crafted by hand. The natural beauty of weathered siding from early American barns set the ground-work. Tim buys the rights to the siding. He shares in the bounty by letting someone else take down the hand-hewn beams. Tim said every barn weathers differently, which not only offers a variety of shades for their hand-crafted frames, but a variety of textures as well. And then there is Tim’s secret method that smooths the edges of the frame. I am sworn to secrecy, but Tim may divulge his method to you! I ran my fingers on the edge of a frame,

July 2016

it was soft and smooth. Tim’s mitered corners are perfection. I looked at the variety of art encompassed by these special frames and noticed that they fit any genre, an antique wildlife print, map, watercolor, photograph, old ad/document or a modern 2016 Springsteen poster - the old handmade barnwood siding frame works. With 43 years of framing and matting experience, this hardworking team can put your mind at ease when it comes to custom barnwood framing projects. Tim will see to that, and Deb will see to the perfect marriage of print, matting and frame. Tim and Deborah helped to promote Sugar Loaf as a quaint, historical hamlet. They took being green so seriously that Tim became Town Supervisor and created the permanent Greenspace on Kings Highway...near the entrance to Sugar Loaf. If you would like your art, photo, document, or print framed in weathered barnwood, then dig it out of your closet or attic and get framed. Or perhaps a matted piece of art is your fancy. Go get a Diltz - you will be just as excited as I am about the craftsmanship of their natural barnwood frames and impeccable matting! To feel and touch quality American craftsmanship in this day and age is cosmic. To support an artisan is...euphoric! Visit the Diltz’s at 1384 Kings Highway, Sugar Loaf. For info: 845-469-3159

Local Artists Adorn Tabletops at Hudson Street Café by Naomi Kennedy The Hudson Street Café opened seven years ago this past June to everyone’s delight. Residents of Cornwall-on-Hudson, Cornwall, and neighboring towns frequent this relaxed and homey café to eat delicious meals and make new friends. Chef/Owner Donna Hammond, a Culinary Institute of America graduate, always wanted to own her own place. “When it [the café] became available, I jumped at the opportunity.” Donna conceived an innovative concept for her tabletops, which she felt were uninteresting and needed some sprucing up. “I’m fortunate to have many artist friends, and I also happen to enjoy art. I asked them to create a painting on birch plywood that I purchased for them.” The results were rich and fruitful: promoting local talents as well as dining on original artwork. All of the artists reside in Orange County and several are lifetime natives. Much of their work is inspired by Orange County. “We have purchased many of the artists’ works and been given gifts by some of them that we display in our home,” said Donna. Twelve artists have participated, including: Catherine Bale, (Cornwall) a photographer and owner of the Green Light Gallery in Cornwall-On-Hudson, who supplied an aerial photograph of Bear Mountain Bridge; Rocco Manno, (Warwick) a Warwick art teacher,

Narrowsburg’s Riverfest 2016!

What started off in 1991 as a modest gathering of artists displaying their work and celebrating the beauty of the Delaware River has flourished over the past 26 years into a flagship event. Today, over 50 artisans and craftmakers come from around the region for Riverfest, a street fair celebrating the interplay of art, music and river ecology. River Dogs on Parade opens the festivities. Pooches and pups dressed up in creative attire strut their stuff, all hoping to win awards, while emcee Kevin McDonough offers commentary and the Dog Parade judges deliberate (register your dog early by calling 845-252-7576, or sign up that morning by 9:45am). The Riverfest poster auction offers up of over five dozen original works of art. Artists working in every conceivable medium from watercolor to fabric to wood, donate their work to be sold to the highest bidder by auctioneer Tony Staffieri. These posters are on display in the windows of the Delaware Arts Center. Everything for sale at Riverfest is artistmade, and the person who is selling it is the artist him/herself. Broom makers; potters; jewelers; textile, wood, and glass artists; writers, and painters. Get a book signed by the author or watch a chainsaw artist create a new sculpture, a potter throwing clay, or a fly tier making the perfect fly for the perfect catch. The expanded food court, which will be at the top of the hill behind NBDC Bank, offers

Wallkill River School: Art Exhibits, Summer Camp, Clowning & More Art! The Three Exhibits Judi Silvano’s colorful history has led her from an early dance career and training as a classical singer, to becoming an accomplished jazz vocalist and composer, to her first show as an “Emerging Artist” at the Wallkill River School (WRS) in May 2012. She has since exhibited in group shows in the Tri-State area and solo shows in the Midwest and the Hudson Valley. Silvano has exhibited pastel, oil, watercolor and encaustic paintings at Mount St. Mary College’s Artists on Campus show where she was awarded the prestigious Mary Evelyn Whitehill Award for one of her watercolors in 2013 and First Prize in Pastel in 2014. She participates in the Goshen Art Walk and regularly at the WRS gallery where she is a Represented Artist, and at many other Orange and Sullivan County galleries. WRS artists have teamed up with historical sites in Orange County to create an Art/History Trail. See Judi’s paintings of the New Windsor Cantonment, musicians, dancers, and scenes from her travels. Liam Vogel is one of the youngest emerging artists at the WRS. At 21, he has been a protege of several teachers at WRS since his teen years. He will be featured in his first solo exhibit in the workshop room.

Also, the WRS summer art program teachers are exhibiting their work, along with some children’s art from their summer programs. Many parents are looking for an alternative summer program for their artistically inclined children. Parents want more than just day care, they want children to grow, learn, and make colorful memories that children can cherish for life. Parents can meet the teachers, and children at the July 9, 5:00pm-7:00pm reception. Visitors to the reception will also enjoy a live performance of Judi’s jazz vocals with Brazilian guitarist Mark Sganga, free and open to the public. Refreshments served. All three exhibits run from July 1-30. Summer Camp Introductions A real-life “success story’, Liam Vogel was

introduced to the WRS via his attendance at one of Shawn Dell Joyce’s beginner’s classes when he was a young teen. He then branched out, gradually increasing his learning palette via more difficult classes with other instructors, and “working to develop my own classes,” he explained. Liam also volunteered to teach at WRS’ summer camp, and privately also. Last year he started promoting his own “large classes”, since he has now developed his own distinct style, that of a versatile young artist using pastel, acrylic, oil and woodcut printing. He is a teacher-in-training at the school, and is offering summer art programs for children that include cartooning, manga, and anime, as well as portraiture. The WRS will be demonstrating some of these fun art techniques from 3:00pm-

W hispering P in es - C o o k i n g July 6: National Fried Chicken Day! After you’ve had your fill of 4th of July BBQs, you may or may not be glad to know that July 6 is National Fried Chicken Day across America. Move over vegetarians, there’s a deep-fried chicken leg and breast coming through! To include more pizzazz to the day, coat the legendary southern food in seasonings and yell “Yeehaw!” Cover the chicken with a combination of cayenne pepper, garlic powder and paprika! A little hot sauce? Sure, let’s go all out! Offer the fried meals with chick gravy to up the yum-factor even more. Pair the delicious bird with waffles for a traditional combination. Or, why not make poultry the star of the show and include a delicious side dish? Lip-smacking sides like buttermilk biscuits, chilly potato tossed salad or coleslaw. Nowadays fried chicken are popular across the U.S. There are many varieties of this dish that originated in different localities including Barberton chicken, Buffalo wings, chicken fingers, Maryland chicken, Nashville hot chicken, etc. All these variations have one thing in common: fried chicken always have a crisp coating or crust. Fried chicken are typically seasoned with

Delaware Valley Opera: 30th Anniversary Season! Delaware Valley Opera’s “Die Fledermaus” Cast

by Derek Leet “The Delaware Valley Opera (DVO) is excited to present two productions for our 30th Anniversary Season - Johann Strauss’ Die Fledermaus and Bizet’s Carmen,” writes DVO spokesperson Kathy Geary. “The female protagonist in both of these operas is a powerful woman, headstrong and self-aware. Rosalinda is urbane, drinking champagne and leading the dance, while Carmen is a Gypsy full of passion and danger. We are presenting both operas in English to enhance the immediacy of the music and heighten your experience, as you follow the drama and let the music take you on a wonderful journey. “Some of the singers are local and others come into our area from Manhattan to spend a few weeks in staging rehearsals and music coaching. It can take up to a year to learn a leading role, and the staging adds another layer of performance skills. We are always astounded at the talents of our younger singers, some of whom are making their debut performance in opera, and other musicians and singers who have years of experience.” As music students are taught, “music” is made up of melody, rhythm and harmony. The definition of melody we often see is “a sequence of single notes that is musically

satisfying.” Another is “the principal part in harmonized music.” Both J. Strauss and Bizet concentrate on the melody aspect of music for their VERY theatrically constructed operas. In fact, Bizet wrote what he called a lyric drama - not an opera with much dialogue, as in a musical, for the Opera Comique in Paris where its breaking of conventions shocked and scandalized its first audiences, not for the Paris Opera House where dialogue was “interdit” (verboten!). The dialogue was later set to music (be sure to read the August 2016 issue of CANVAS) so that it could be performed at the Opera House. “Simple but dramatic” harmony is highlighted throughout the operas, in the orchestra and in the magnificent choruses, but “dissimilar rhythms” is what perhaps

makes these two operas different from each other, rhythms that give these two operas their most distinctive aspect. Audiences thrill to the waltzes (and other 3/4 time songs, choruses and arias) of Die Fledermaus, and even though Bizet never visited Spain, his Spanish rhythms, i.e habanera, seguidilla, flamenco (Carmen plays the castanets), etc. - are equally as thrilling. Join the DVO to discover the delights of opera right in our own backyard, at the Tusten Theater, 210 Bridge Street in Narrowsburg. Die Fledermaus will be performed July 16-24. Carmen will be performed in August. (Read August 2016 CANVAS!). Visit www.delawarevalleyopera.org for tickets and more information.

Gregory Hayes

The Violoncello da Spalla (Piccolo Cello) is larger than a viola but smaller than a cello. It was in use during the first decades of the 18th century. It was certainly not a child-size cello. None of the music theoreticians at the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century mention this instrument. In the area of middle Germany where J. S. Bach lived, he is the only person to refer specifically to this instrument as a “Violoncello piccolo”. Some players position it as a cello and others hold it under the chin as a viola. Jennifer Morsches performs on both a fourstring and a five-string piccolo cello. “I hold the piccolo cello like a cello,” she said. She is joined by Co-Music Director/harpsichordist Gregory Hayes for A Musical Tour of Baroque Germany and Italy which will be “guided by” JS Bach, CPE Bach, Vivaldi, Alessandro Scarlatti and Bernardo Storace at Pacem in Terris, 96 Covered Bridge Road, Warwick, on July 17 at 5:00pm.

Newburgh Last Saturday: Art Related to Newburgh & Hudson Valley Living

SUNY Orange -Kaplan Hall Filmmaker/photographer and member of the Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands (HSNBH), Joe Santacroce, has created several videos about various topics on Newburgh’s rich history, and is responsible for organizing the Newburgh Now and Then exhibit. It is a comparative exhibit of historic and present day photographs, and “exemplifies both the status and growth of the city today and the beauty of yesteryear,” states Newburgh historian, Mary McTamaney. The historic photos have been provided by the historical society and the photos of today were taken by Joe Santacroce. Selected from a larger HSNBH exhibit of paired photographs, those on view in the glass vitrine cases on the first floor of Kaplan Hall, SUNY Orange, were chosen because of their close proximity to the SUNY Orange campus. In addition, in the horizontal glass vitrine cases on the first floor of Kaplan Hall, is Growing Up in Newburgh, an exhibit of photographs taken from family albums. “The concept is to convey the ephemeral and transient nature of memories such as this and simulate a walk through individual memories of a community,” explains Russell Lange, member of the HSNBH who curated the show in its original form at the historical society. The two shows and Scenes of Newburgh in the Mindy Ross Gallery, are free and open

I have always been curious about people, their lives, and passions. When I was only 6 years old my dad gave me my first camera. From that day on I spent hours trying to capture the beauty I saw in the world and in people through taking photos. Capturing a moment in time and saving it for all time is magical,” - Catherine Bale. “Everything I have ever done in the past has finally come together into a career where I can

Being able to love every second working 8 days a week was well worth the journey,” Nuby DeLeon. “Newburgh has had a significant reputation and a proud history. The City has always been familiar and close by, but my experiences of the landscape have either been within the walls of a building or through the windows of a car. In pursuit of a better understanding of the landscape, I put my own feet on the ground and looked for myself,” - Jason Reinhold. “Recording a brief moment of reflected light with a camera is the nature of photography. Capturing the mood, feeling, or emotion of that moment for others to experience is it’s essence,” - Peter Salo. “My work as a photographer is spontaneous and without boundaries. The subjects can be beautiful or ugly, surprising or mundane, monumental or microscopic, happy, sad or anything at all. I am searching for answers and a voice informed by a lifetime of work backstage building the onstage dreams of others. My work is equal parts adventure, therapy, escape, exhibitionism and duty. Passionately exploring new worlds, technologies, styles and techniques, I search, hoping to increase the pleasures and numb the pain of life,” - Brian Wolfe.

life is explored by sculptor Sarah Masciale in the exhibit, The Hudson Valley: Inside and Out, curated by Brian Wolfe. “To put it simply, sculpture is just another form of communication. It allows me to move people in ways I cannot with words. Sculpture is one of those mediums that just clicked with me, something about the marriage of material and the interaction with 3 dimensional space is exhilarating. I choose to work with unconventional yet familiar materials that you wouldn’t necessarily deem beautiful right away, but with my eye for form, I am able to give something to the viewer that keeps them interested, hopefully inspired and most importantly, keeps them questioning,” - Sarah Masciale.

However, they do exist and one in particular works here in the Wallkill Valley. All his life he’s made his living as a mechanic, plumber, electrician, carpenter, truck driver, farmer, nurseryman, and equipment operator. He’s also an author, poet, playwright, and long time pen and ink artist. His name is Bob Score and known only by a small circle of family and friends. Why such anonymity? Quoting the opening line of his illustrated, fictional, not-quite-exactly autobiographical monologue, One Lane, One Way, Old Dirt Road, he laments, “The road of life for many is a well paved highway. Never was for me. I took the back roads.” Or perhaps, as his wife, Mary Ellen, laments, “He’s great at production but stinks at promotion!” Fortunately, on these back roads Bob found a mother lode of treasured memories to write about and to draw. Through words and drawings, he has preserved as many priceless artifacts as can be found in prominent museums.

Karpeles in July As our nation reaches its 240th birthday, the Karpeles Museum will celebrate with an exhibit of the rarely seen work of Dona McPhillips Couch, one of the country’s most distinguished historical painters. Famous for her brilliantly executed series of large-scale group portraits of American heroes, Ms. Couch created these ten majestic paintings to honor the country’s bicentennial in 1976. From founding fathers: George Washington, John and Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry, to great pioneers from the 18th and 19th century and such heroes of the Texas frontier: James Bowie, Sam Houston, Davy Crockett to major Native-American figures: Geronimo, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse. Influential women are represented in a painting that includes First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and pioneer feminists Margaret Sanger, Jane Addams, Susan B. Anthony, and “Mother” Jones. African-Americans share a canvas that includes W.E.B. DuBois, Frederick Douglass, Ralph Bunche, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. All are presented in dramatic settings illustrative of their lives and times. The show runs from July 1-August 31 at the Karpeles Museum, 94 Broadway, Newburgh. Admission is always free.

Summertime in the Catskills There’s a crafty little theatre on Canal street in Ellenville. The glimmering light of its magical marquee radiates a signal to all. Shadowland Stages has become a beacon, an inspiration for those who enjoy the thrill of an opening night, the laughter and the murmur of crowds as the lights dim. There’s an esthetic tingle in the air, an engagement with live, professional theatre. The last 32 years have been kind to the development and expansion of Ellenville’s treasure. To begin, notice the reflection of the theatre’s growth in the new name and logo. Shadowland Stages acknowledges the fact of the theatre’s multiple locations: Canal Street and the recently acquired building conveniently located on Market Street. As renovations continue, the facility will permit the enlargement of an expanding and vibrant Acting Academy, serving as an integral segment of the theatre’s mission. The Academy is developed and guided by the vigilant and trained eye of Andy Walter who serves the role of school administrator and teacher. Only eight years ago the Academy’s enrollment was a small but hardy total of 16 students. Through reputation and clarity of

NACL Theatre Explores “Courage”

NACL Theatre has received an increase in funding from New York State Council on the Arts. The company, celebrating it’s 16th season this year, has nearly tripled its grant in the Professional Performances category. The grant will be used to support NACL’s upcoming production entitled Courage. Conceived and directed by NACL coartistic director, Tannis Kowalchuk, Courage is inspired by the classic Bertolt Brecht play, Mother Courage and Her Children. Kowalchuk and the NACL team will develop their own experimental and multi-disciplinary version of the original, exploring themes of how in the face of fear, war, and extreme uncertainty, individuals and communities can respond with resiliency and a sense of social justice. Courage will feature the NACL professional acting ensemble and an original music score by Brooklyn composer, Rima Fand who specializes in Balkan and gypsy influenced choral and instrumental compositions. For Kowalchuk and NACL, the goal of their next play is to create and present a professional and innovative theatre experience for and with community members, about a subject worthy of discussion from all sides. Courage will also include a visual art project entitled My Flag/Mi Bandera, and local visual artists will be invited to design a flag to be used in the performance. Courage is a multi-disciplinary outdoor performance that is structured as a long walk, 32

culminating inside a large 2-pole circus tent. Kowalchuk collaborates with Fand, the NACL writers, actors, musicians and the NACL Stilt Corps to create a spectacular immersive performance that evokes both circus and refugee camp. Courage will be performed July 22, 23 and 24 at 6:30pm at Apple Pond Farm, 80 Hahn Road, Callicoon Center. It will be an outdoor performance that requires walking on a farm - appropriate attire and footwear is recommended. “Apple Pond is delighted to collaborate with NACL,” said co-owner Dick Riseling, who considers Brecht to be one of the world’s greatest playwrights. “We have collaborated with NACL in the past on a play performed twice in one day, at dawn and at dusk. It takes “courage” to put on these locally written and locally produced plays.” “For tickets: https://nacl.tixato.com/buy/ For information: 917-566-7698.
