with her series of original drawings called Time These drawings are Celtic mandalas (geometric configurations) that reveal a colorful circular frequency that has no beginning or end. Each mandala serves as a conscious detailed account of a moment in time. Essentially, these are monotypes or monoprints, known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques. No two prints are alike. The beauty of this spontaneous medium is that it combines printing, painting, and drawing.Enjoy refreshments and meet the artists at their opening reception on September 10 from 6:00pm-9:00pm. The public is welcome to this free cultural event.

Rabsey enjoys working with various metals in all types of conditions and shapes. Often his creations contain “found objects” that he’s discovered during his travels. Even a rusting and weathered object might catch Bill’s eye because he’s drawn to its texture, color, or shape. These elements or “pieces” form the raw material for Bill’s structural designs which he turns into wall art or freestanding creative statements. Creativity has always been second nature to Bill, who watched his grandfather paint and draw as a commercial artist. Smith-Simpson has painted since she

“I have been enchanted by art for as long as I can remember,” says award winning artist Lowrey-LippertTricia . “I seek the extraordinary in the ordinary, the little miracles that surround us every day. I paint from my heart in the hope of transporting the viewer into a rural world of timelessness. To me, the patchwork of an old farm reveals the fortunes and hardships of the people that have lived there. There is exquisite beauty in a spiderweb. Voices of past summers fill empty Adirondack chairs. There are memories in flowers and possibilities in seashells.”

Weaving by Myra Reichel
Bluegrass in Phillipsport
For Myra, she is sustained by the love of the weaving process, which is a long, slow, meditative process. It includes preparing the loom, along with the building and bringing to life a drawing through weaving the image line by line, only seeing parts of its true face in a mirror backwards until completed, and then the work is really seen as a whole for the first time.
6 Delaware & Hudson CANVAS September 2022
When lead vocalist and fiddle player Doctor Romo met bass player Mike Aiese and banjo player Thomas Earl at a bluegrass jam in 2015 they quickly realized they had similar tastes in music and decided to work on some bluegrass tunes. When Thomas Earl left the band he was replaced by guitar virtuoso Matt Lamborn, who brought his vast repertoire of songs to add to the band’s already rich cache of songs. Fans requested many other songs, so the band adapted their cache of songs to include Country, Folk, Cajun, and Rock tunes, all played with “bluegrassy” roots.
For Marjorie, the center of the clay making is her relationship with herself while working on the potters’ wheel. To step into a quiet space while sensing the energy in her body, requires a steadiness that carries the moment of letting go. This movement creates a new form.

At the same time, the Great Famine in Ireland had left many young women destitute.

“Historically, a serenade (or divertimento) quartet consisted of two violins, viola and double bass, a configuration making for a broader palate of sounds and fills spaces, whether indoors or outdoors, with a warmth and fullness that is visceral, celebratory and thoroughly engaging.”
“The former Beatle has enjoyed a surprisingly lengthy and successful postmop-top career as a composer of classical music. His first foray came in 1991 when he composed a work for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra which told a musical story loosely based on his own life. The resulting 8-movement piece was a huge hit, topping the classical charts. After that, McCartney’s growth as a composer became ever more complex and interesting.”

September 2022 Delaware & Hudson CANVAS 11
In anticipation of the Milford Readers and Writers Festival (September 1618), Film Historian John DiLeo will introduce four classic movies that were adapted from classic books.
Judith Weir CBE (b.1954) is a British composer and the first female Master of the Queen’s Music. Weir’s musical language is fairly conservative, with a knack of making simple musical ideas appear freshly mysterious. She was commissioned by the Minnesota Orchestra for her work, The Welcome Arrival of Rain. Rainbow Body by Christopher Theofanidis (b.1967) was commissioned by the Houston Symphony. The piece is dedicated to the Texas lawyer and philanthropist Glen Rosenbaum, and is one of Theofanidis’ most-performed compositions. It won the 2003 London Masterprize competition.
Beethoven, a lover of nature, said that his Sixth Symphony is “more the expression of feeling than painting.” The symphony has five, rather than the usual four movements. Each movement has a programmatic title, rare for his time. Frank A. D’Accone suggested that Beethoven borrowed the programmatic ideas (a shepherd’s pipe, birds singing, streams flowing, and a thunderstorm) for his five-movement narrative layout from Le Portrait musical de la Nature
The selected films offer not only exceptional screenplays, but a raft of performancesunforgettable by Golden Age film actors such as Laurence Olivier, Flora Robson, Mary Boland, Edna May Oliver, James Dean, Julie Harris, Jo Van Fleet, Audrey Hepburn, Mickey Rooney and many, many others.

Weir imagines an exuberant and dazzling soundscape, lush in its colorations and cascading torrent of notes, which she said reminded her of the onset of the monsoon season in India. Theofanidis produces a piece based on the Buddhist notion of a Rainbow Body, where the physical form of an enlightened being is absorbed back into the universe upon its death. It is wonderfully uplifting and a beautiful metaphorical conclusion to the concert.”Maestro

Often referred to as “The Painter of Autumn,” second generation Hudson River School artist Jasper Francis Cropsey (18231900) began his artistic career as an architect. Cropsey traveled and painted extensively in Europe, but the majority of his works are situated in the northeastern U.S., particularly in New York and New Jersey.Settling in the Greenwood Lake area after his marriage, Cropsey found the vivid autumn country landscape very appealing due to the intensity of the warm colors that he was able to capture using ‘new’ chemically-based paints. Explore Jasper Francis Cropsey’s

“It’s an honor to work with The Jazz Coalition to continue our tradition of presenting world class jazz in the Hudson Valley and further our mission to support living artists at The Falcon and beyond,” said Lee Falco
Grammy®-nominated Theo Bleckmann makes music that is accessibly sophisticated, unsentimentally emotional, and seriously playful, leading his work to be described as “from another planet.”

On September 11 at 7:00pm, Theo Bleckmann and Endless Field open the series at The Falcon, 1348 Route 9W, Marlboro. For info: 845-236-7970.
Shifts in Space: Colleen O’Hara O’Hara creates imaginary landscapes inspired by her interactions with real physical space. This body of work is rooted in an exploration of the material nature of paint. Working in a space between control and freedom, she responds to the materiality of paint, allowing her the opportunity to investigate the physical world. Brush marks, drips and splatters become a documentation of her existence and engagement in the world. The act of making, doing, and experiencing is what gives us information about ourBothsurroundings.showsare on view through September 18 at the DVAA galleries, 37 Main Street, Narrowsburg.
The new campaign will fund live concert performances of 15 previously commissioned artists and ensembles, Sundays, September 11-December 18.
Open to the public. Free admission. Masks are recommended.
The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) will present Watch the Curve, featuring objects/ sculptures and a public performance by Katie Coughlin, and Shifts in Space, featuring large-scale paintings by Colleen O’Hara
Visit delawarevalleyartsalliance.org
Watch the Curve: Katie Coughlin Coughlin investigates the notions of home, vessel, body, and clothing through the manipulation of space and material. Although clay is most often the place where Coughlin begins her work, she uses other mediums, specifically cloth and wood, to expand her sculptures. These materialcollaborative apparatuses allow her to incorporate the human body, placing her work between object, sculpture, and performance.

She will perform with her work on September 10 at 5:00pm on the DVAA’s balcony and sidewalk.

“I was able to use some of the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant funds I received to pay the artists this season and now we are taking it to another level with the Jazz Coalition, giving us an opportunity to have the first of the commissioned artists play their pieces live. Many of these performances will mark the world premieres of these important compositions,” said Jazz Coalitions’s

Miriam Hernandez started her art training in high school at age 14 and continued her art education in college and graduate school. “Putting hands and tools to a receptive surface, I employ the creative process as a way to mark time and events, in order to confirm my own impermanence. The goals and methodologies of my life, as an individual and as an artist, merge and blossom as I continue to draw on influences from political events, environmental concerns, and Buddhist symbology.
Now you can enjoy drawing portraits from life in a workshop designed for intermediate and advanced students with prior experience in portrait work. The class is designed for eight consecutive sessions, September 9 to October 20, at 10:00am at the Wallkill River School

Results of the SUNY Orange moviegoers’ voting as well as the worldwide voting will be released via Cultural Affairs e-blast on October 3.
Works in painting, drawing, eco printing, and photography will be on view at Domesticities for an exhibit featuring Miriam Hernandez, Marjorie Morrow, Alexis Siroc and Gail Tuchman titled, Four/For: Supporting artistic expression as a democratic principle. “Some of the artwork will address political themes but it is really a presentation of how artistic expression is a freedom, a “democratic principle” as per our subtitle,” explained Marjorie. “It represents what we, as artists, are FOR...and we’ve tried to remain positive about that in this fraught political environment. A portion of any sales will be donated to the Sullivan County Democratic Committee.”
“My work continues to change as

The MSFF offers families and friends, 15 years old and over, viewing of innovative, creative, and some funny films. All final films become Oscar-Qualified, thereby making them automatically eligible for Academy Award nomination.
I let go of the work already created, not wanting to repeat myself, aware of its fragility, and of our own fragile existence,” states Hernandez.
Marjorie Morrow’s paintings and prints have been exhibited nationally and internationally since 1968. She focuses on developing special projects and collaborations, including a multi-part 9/11 collaboration with Drew University and the John Street Church, NYC. Her ArtOrbit® is an online presentation she created featuring collectors of her work and is available on her website.

France); The Blanket (Finland); Warsha (France & Lebanon) and The Big Green (France).Markyour calendars and plan to come to Kaplan Hall at SUNY Orange for the September 24, 7:00pm screening in the OBTC Great Room 101.
The 8-week session is designed so that each student must be willing to sit as a model for one session (sit for increments of 15 or 20 minutes with 5 minute breaks) and thereby allow their fellow students the opportunity and challenge of working from a live model. The class is offered at a discount to account for the modeling time.
While abstract, her work is inspired by diverse sources - music, literature, and the contemporary cultural and political environments.
Kaplan Hall is located at the corner of Grand & First Streets (GPS: 73 First St.) Newburgh. Free parking is available in Kaplan Hall garage, 73 First Street.

Artists were asked to share their unique vision of what happens when the sun sets. Some took a literal approach, finding beauty in the natural world after dark. Others found dialogue in events and celebration focusing on the human element as night fell. More still found a connection with the ethereal, energetic, and surreal as they worked in the darkened hours.
“Entr’acte was written in 2011 after hearing the Brentano Quartet play Haydn’s Op. 77 No. 2 - with its spare and soulful shift to the D-flat major trio in the minuet. It is structured like a minuet and trio, riffing on that classical form but taking it a little further. I love the way

The Quartet members bring a broad range of backgrounds and experience. All have performed in major concert venues and with leading artists, from classical to jazz.
The quartet draws on a wide range of composers and eras, from baroque to modern, from jazz to Afro-Cuban, for its repertoire. This concert will include string quartets by Fannie Mendelssohn Hensel, Benjamin Britten, Dizzy Gillespie, Caroline Shaw, and Guido López-Gavilán.

at completing the piece first. By the way, I think Constanza was less interested in the completion of what was to become one of the monumental works of classical literature, than she was in the other half of the very generous fee that Count von Walsegg was to pay upon completion of the work.

he states that he composed the three movements completely from scratch! Hmmm, could there have been no little sketches left by Mozart from which he might have gleaned some thematic information?

“Ego, fib, or exaggerationnotwithstanding, there’s no doubt in my mind that we owe Süssmayr a great debt for completing and largely orchestrating the work in a kind of mystical devotion to Mozart’s wishes and style. Because, surely, without his diligence, we would never ever have known this magnificent piece!”

Noted Swiss-born singer, Tatiana Eva-Marie (“The Gypsyjazz warbler”), returns to Milford accompanied by her own swinging band, Avalon Jazz Band, to delight the audiences with light jazz tunes and belles chansons from the cabarets of ‘30s Paris.
“So, here’s a question for you: if Franz Süssmayr actually composed from scratch the three movements in the Mozart Requiem that are usually ascribed to him (Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei), how come they’re a lot better than all his other choral writings - which, I might add, were written by him after Mozart’s death, exactly at a time when he was specifically studying choral composition with Mozart’s yearsfromSalieri?arch-nemesis,supposed-Antonio“Inaletterdated1800(almost10afterMozart’sdeath),

“It is hard to believe that Fanny Hensel needed a “craftsman’s approval” from her famous brother Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in order to be allowed to publish some of her compositions under her own name.” - Fick’s Music.
“During our 20 years we have presented a rich repertoire of classical and contemporary music, drawing on the talents of widely-acclaimed musicians in the Hudson Valley and beyond,” said Carole Cowan, founder and music director of NCM. “This will be the fourth time that the Harlem Quartet will perform for us. We are so happy to have them back for this special occasion.”

The Stylistics were formed in Philadelphia in 1966 from the combination of two groups, “The Percussions” and “The Monarchs”. When members from each group were drafted into the Armed Services, the remaining members, under the guidance of their English teacher Beverly Hamilton, joined forces and changed the name to “TheAfterStylistics”.working locally for a few years, the group recorded their first song, You’re a Big Girl Now. The song was written by their guitarist at the time, Robert “Doc” Douglas and road manager, Marty Bryant. The song was soon picked up in the tri-state area, and before long, it became a #1 hit in Philadelphia and otherAftercities.the success of You’re A Big Girl Now, Avco Records wanted to follow up with an album release. Hit veteran producer Tom Bell was contacted and produced the group’s first album, and from that album came Stop, Look, Listen to your Heart, You Are Everything and Betcha By Golly Wow. The album’s
success was nothing short of phenomenal.

“My idea to incorporate ceramic plates came from thinking about stoneware and Medusa’s power turning men to stone, and Athena’s circular shield with an image of Medusa’s head,” she said. The wall paper patterns that she creates retell this ancient myth, and reexamine the story in a modern context.

For this show, he shares a meta-cluster of drawings and paintings and a pairing of sculptures that can on the one hand be seen with the eyes, juxtaposed with video-sculptures that can only be felt with the hands. “As a multimedia artist I think a lot about appearances and perceptions and how relationships between these two things influence, and to some degree, have authority over, everything we experience,” he said.

partners. There’s no balance between work and romance. It’s all a gumbo. Our first excuse to date and hang out was writing together. We say things better in song than we discuss them in person. We’ve seen terrible things, brilliant things, and beautiful things as a couple. The albums and performances become the canvas that loss, gain, romance, and love are subconsciously painted - unbeknownst to us, honestly.”

The committee’s intention, according to Brescia, is to present a Disney Land type atmosphere that welcomes families and cherishes individuals interested in enjoying the celebration of small town America.Adding to the appeal of the day is the fact that the celebration, in addition to recognizing General Montgomery, has become the unofficial reunion day for students from the nostalgia filled Montgomery High School and the Valley Central High School. This year will mark the 85th Anniversary for Montgomery High School.

Howard Garrett (19312020) approached then Village Mayor Josephine Murphy to create a yearly celebratory day, and a short time thereafter, “I had attended Walden Day in 1989 and thought it would be great to have a similar event in the Village of Montgomery,” present Mayor Steve Brescia recalls. Thus, a grand tradition was born. It’s not only a salute to General Montgomery, a hero of the Revolution (KIA, Quebec, 1775) but recognition of the Montgomery business community and Village residents.

This year (2022), General Montgomery Day is scheduled for September 10 All day, rain or shine.
Day, is noted for hosting what is reported to be one of the largest diversified parades in the area, with over two hundred units consisting of businesses, service organizations, marching bands, noted and unnoted dignitaries and, of course, area fire departments.With participation at that level, anxious children line the parade route to cheer marchers and retrieve the goodies distributed by passing floats. Adding to the down-home, Americanatype atmosphere are the 8K race, live music (country, rock & blues) and of course, the spectacular fireworks display.
As demonstrated, the villages that join together to form the Town of Montgomery celebrate their respective pasts and hopes for the future in various but similar ways. Interestingly, the concept of a salute to General Montgomery is irrevocably tied to a celebration found in neighboring MontgomeryWalden.resident

Much like families, bands go through it all together. As a unit, they face life’s ups, downs, highs, lows, trials, tribulations, tragedies, triumphs, and everything in between. They change, learn, and grow as one.However, LA band Johnnyswim doesn’t just seem like a family; it is a family. At the core, husband-and-wife team Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano translate the memories, moments, and milestones on their journey into spirited, slick, and soulful anthems steeped in singer-songwriter tradition, yet amplified by alternative experimentation, rock energy, and pop ambition. The music moves as the couple’s life does, scrapbooking unforgettable experiences in melody like an eternal keepsake of their“Therelationship.musicisthe backdrop on which our life gets painted,” affirms Abner. “We’re not just writing partners; we’re

It has become, also, a “coming-home day” for village and local residents who have left the area. Old acquaintances are renewed and new friendships begun. It is but a simple task to conjure up the smell of cotton candy coupled with the mouth-watering aroma of sausage and peppers on the grill.
Julius Hare (1795-1855) offers this simile-rich advice for parents, teachers or any of us. “Discipline, like the bridle in the hand of a good rider, should exercise its influence without appearing to do so, should be ever active, both as a support and as a restraint, yet seem to lie easily in hand. It must always be ready to check or pull up, as occasion may require; and only when the horse is a runaway should the action of the curb be perceptible.”
The Glorious Simile I wish I had known Frank Wilstach (18651933). I would have told him how often and how happily I dip into his Dictionary of Similes and fall under its spell. Mark Twain and baseball? An anachronism, one might think, until I read just now that it was Twain who created this baseball image: “He threw himself on his stomach to slide to his base. It was like an ironclad coming into port.”

What has become of the hairdressers, street cleaners, dressmakers and travel agents? Somehow we’ve become overrun with pompous job titles that camouflage what people actually do for a living. Here’s a recently compiled list of actual job titles: Print Traffic Associate, Non-profit Professional, Content Administrator, Owner Retention Department Manager, Dispatch Service Facilitator, Destination Counsellor and Loss Prevention Officer. Moreover, there are countless, very serious online tutorials for those who yearn to create such titles for their resumés and business cards.

the systemic and historical exploitation of African Americans, as well as race relations, identity, migration, and racial discrimination. Viola Davis who starred in (“and gave a superb performance that I will never forget!” - Barry Plaxen) Wilson’s King Hedley II (1999) said that Wilson’s writing “captures our humor, our vulnerabilities, our tragedies, our trauma. And he humanizes us. And he allows us to talk.”
Since Wilson’s death, two of his plays have been adapted into films: Fences (2016, starring Denzel Washington & Viola Davis) and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (2020). Denzel Washington has shepherded the films and has vowed to continue his legacy by adapting the rest of Wilson’s plays into films for a wider audience by saying, “The greatest part of what’s left of my career is making sure that August is taken care of.”

Hasenörhl (1885-1970), who made the transcription, was a prolific composer of symphonies, concertos, and chamber, keyboard, vocal and choral music, but is known today mostly for his tongue-incheek “frolic,” published in 1954.
