NIGHT SKY

Do we really need the Moon?

The tie-in to Easter and Passover

U

nlike today’s city folk, for whom moonlight is charming but useless, in the pre-electric centuries the Moon was vital. Although moonlight is 450,000 times less bright than sunlight, it adequately lights up paths and roads and provided safety for nighttime activities for countless millennia.

It may be no coincidence that the average human menstrual cycle, now known to be very close to 29 days, seems so in-sync with the Moon’s synodic (phase cycle) of 29 ½ days. Quite possibly, courtship and thus fertility usefulness marched in tune with the times of the month when it was safe to venture out on dates without being munched upon by predators, whose nocturnal eyesight was generally better than ours.

We’ve recently learned that the Moon’s existence provides a physical gravitational “brake” on the amount that our planet’s axis can tilt. Our tilt permanently stays within a few degrees of its present value.

Without the Moon, our poles would sometimes point at the Sun, boiling off the oceans and making life impossible.

While few of the festivals and calendars that the Moon once inspired remain, one of them, the most celebrated, happens on Sunday, March 27: Easter. Since its date is decreed by celestial things like the Moon and the Equinox, and since it’s one of the few Western holidays set by the heavens, it deserves to be understood.

It starts out simple enough. Easter is the Sunday following the first Full Moon that’s on or after the Spring Equinox, which the Church considers to be March 21. The earliest possible Easter would thus be produced if a Full Moon landed on the Equinox itself, and, additionally, if this were a Saturday. Then Easter would be the very next day, March 22.

It’s unlikely. Equally improbable is the latest Easter, which paradoxically arises if the Full Moon lands one day sooner: a day before the Equinox, which, by the rules, forces us to the next Full Moon on April 17. Then, if that happens to be a Sunday, we must wait a whole week for the following Sunday, bringing Easter to April 25. We won’t see that earliest-possible Easter anytime this century or even next century; but that latest-

Without the Moon, our poles would sometimes point at the Sun, boiling off the oceans and making life impossible.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

possible Easter of April 25 will come up just 22 years from now.

The fact that Easter is quite early this year becomes clear when we notice that the first Full Moon after the Equinox happens on Wednesday, March 23, just two days after the Equinox. So Easter merely had to wait until the first Sunday, next weekend.

So a quick rule of thumb is that if a Full Moon falls within a week after the Equinox, it’ll be an early Easter. Passover is often celebrated on that same Full Moon, but this year the rules push it to the next one, a month from now.

Throw in a few more ethnic holidays, and you’ve got the vestigial legacy of the Moon’s once far-reaching influence.

MOVIE

IF WE CAN ALL AGREE that blood libel against Jews is a terrible thing, why is blood libel against Wiccans deemed perfectly acceptable?

New England Gothic The Crucible meets The Exorcist in The Witch

B

eing an unabashed Wiccan sympathizer whose 1980s handfasting (Pagan wedding) ceremony was officiated by Drawing down the Moon author Margot Adler herself, this reviewer has scant patience for the way that witches are usually portrayed by the mass media – horror movies especially. None of the many actual witches I’ve had the pleasure of meeting over the years has ever claimed the ability to fly, turn into a hare or blight a crop. Mostly they tend to devote their “arcane” energies to constructive and creative things like becoming knowledgeable about herbal medicine. The goriest authentic Wiccan ritual that I’ve ever heard of involves the cathartic dismemberment of a pomegranate. And no, they don’t even believe in Satan, much less worship him.

Most movies that employ the tired Hollywood trope of scary, bloodthirsty, demon-invoking witches are garbagy enough not to be worth the breath for a political rant, and many become enjoyable in a cheesy way by crossing the line into campy humor. But when an ambitious, talented new filmmaker appears on the scene with a serious art-horror project that’s intensely researched and exquisitely crafted, scaring the pants off audiences at the Sundance Festival, a critic must perforce sit up and take notice. And the issues of religious bias raised by touting such a film as “historically accurate” must be incorporated into one’s appreciation of the product, alongside its artistic value.

Neophyte director Robert Eggers cut his cinematic teeth as a scenic and costume designer, and that experience is a big part of what makes his first feature, The Witch: A New-England Folktale so visually impressive, along with terrific, moody cinematography. Set on the Massachusetts frontier in 1630, six decades before the Salem witch trials, it strains most of the pulp out of the horror genre, persuasively repackaging it through a Masterpiece Theatre lens. It’s one of those movies worth seeing just for the painstaking details of the hand-stitched collars and hand-hewn clapboards.

Eggers clearly did his homework in other ways as well. Much of the dialogue is lifted directly from annals of the era, including the writings of Cotton Mather and Samuel Willard, Puritan prayerbooks, the Geneva Bible favored by Calvinists and transcripts of testimony from accusers and the accused in witchcraft trials. That research yielded authentic-sounding but often-indecipherable syntax – especially

ORPHEUM

combined with the actors’ thick Yorkshire accents – and a symbolic palette wellaligned with popular beliefs about the activities of witches during the 17th century.

What Eggers’ script fails in any way to acknowledge, however, is that those written testimonies were generally the results of torture and intimidation on the part of the accused; envy, avarice, antagonism, fear and superstition on the part of the accusers. To present them as accurate descriptions of what real witches actually do raises the question: If we can all agree that blood libel against Jews is a terrible thing, why is blood libel against Wiccans deemed perfectly acceptable? Can you imagine a horror movie being made based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and presented as “historically accurate,” with the excuse that the infamous Nazi forgery is a document that was written during the course of 20th-century history?

Such a project would never be tolerated by the moviegoing public. But witches, sadly, are still viewed as fair game – as bad people with dark supernatural powers, not as adherents of a benign nature-based religion.

The Witch would’ve been a brilliant cinematic milestone if it had been couched as psychological horror – if the filmmaker had told his story in such a way that the weird goings-on at an isolated farmstead on the edge of a creepy forest could be explained as the delusions of a family stressed to the mental breaking point by failed crops, near-starvation and obsessive religious guilt. But Eggers, who grew up in New Hampshire, has said in interviews that he was always disappointed to be told that the victims of the Salem hysteria weren’t “real witches,” in league with a real Devil. So, very deliberately, from early on in the film, the demonic forces at work

make their corporeal presence known onscreen. An infant who mysteriously disappears is explicitly shown – and not from one of the central characters’ point of view – to be carried off by a “real witch,” butchered, bled and pounded into magical ointment. There’s no room here for the sort of ambiguity that could’ve made The Witch a truly unsettling masterpiece.

As cinema, The Witch still has a lot going for it. The casting of the actors was spot-on, with two Game of Thrones veterans, Kate Dickie and Ralph Ineson, as the overzealous-but-loving parents, along with two promising youngsters: Anya-Taylor Joy as Thomasin, the pubescent daughter who is suspected of communing with the Devil, and Harvey Scrimshaw as Caleb, the next-younger son who gets lost in the woods and wanders home possessed. The characters are far more multidimensional than your average onscreen religious fanatics, and a wild-eyed, nasty-tempered ram named Black Phillip just about steals the show.

The musical score by Mark Korven is perfect, creating a genuinely oppressive atmosphere without ever sounding clichéd.

If you’re among the many who consider The Exorcist a high point of cinematic horror, you may find The Witch similarly terrifying. If having to suspend your disbelief in demonic forces gets in the way of your scare reflexes, maybe not so much.

Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to Robert Eggers’ next announced project: a remake of F. W. Murnau’s 1929 silent chiller Nosferatu. Bigotry against vampires doesn’t really get my knickers in a twist.

MUSIC it actually happened.

It feels epic. It sprawls. It moves multidirectionally through musical time and global space; and yet, at the end of the album-closing eighth track (a highsheen, pristinely layered reboot of the Fairweather Friends staple “Same Big Ring”), the clock reads a mere 29 minutes – barely more than an EP. It is actually somewhat miraculous.

Adir L. C. returns to one of his many homes to celebrate the release of Oceanside Cities with a show at BSP in Kingston on Thursday, March 24 at 8 p.m. Also on the bill is the Albany-area shoegaze act Jouska. Admission costs $5 at the door. BSP is located at 323 Wall Street in Kingston. For more information, visit www.bspkingston.com. To listen to Oceanside Cities, visit https://adirlc. bandcamp.com.

n 2012, Fairweather Friends – a large, ragtag New Paltz musical collective led by songwriter/ guitarist Adir L. C. and drummer Jed Kosiner (Whispering Olympians, Snow Bear) – released These Years on the Boat. In some ways the record epitomized the New Paltz scene of that time: a transitional and optimistic moment in the musical culture of my hometown.

Somewhat hippie in its freak/folk/rock sound and in its overt communal ethos, These Years on a Boat was also an aspiring contemporary indie-pop affair, sonically experimental and musically savvy, hinting at much broader pop ambitions

release, first touring with Kosiner and then eventually landing in Tel Aviv, where most of his sparkling new record Oceanside Cities was recorded with a talented young producer named Tom Elbaz.

Oceanside Cities is a glorious and glossy flowering of all the Baroque musical impulses and style acquisitions that were latentbut-stirring in the music of Fair weather Friends. From elegant orchestral backings to global/electro beat manipulations and meltdowns to harrowing squalls of noise rock (“New City”), Oceanside Cities leaves no production move unexplored.

The album-opening “Half Right” swings with a horn-powered and unironic glint of Burt Bacharach and Neil Diamond in its eye. The single “Dinosaur” proceeds as an earthy acoustic freak/folk number for about 30 seconds before erupting into an Arcade Firelike, broad-stroke celebration of impermanence and obsolescence: his own and humanity’s.

While the production aesthetic here is unfettered, to put it mildly, Adir’s sturdy, high-character songs and a thematic consistency that borders on obsession hold up to the treatment with no signs of sweat or strain. From Fairweather Friends on, Adir’s songwriting and singing have been possessed of a Surrealist slack and slur that hint at a somewhat-lessbrainiac-and-more soulful version of Stephen Malkmus. That shambolic, almost-but-not-quite-divested quality rubs against the absolutely fastidious and full-spectrum arrangements of this global pop record, making it all seem not so much effortless as unconscious, like something born whole in a single moment of dream. Needless to say, that is not how

I-Jung Huang takes top prize in 44th HVP String Competition The 44 annual Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) String Competition concluded its multi-day contest on Sunday, March 13 in front of more than 300 music fans at Vassar College’s Skinner Hall. Three exceptional finalists from 20 string players vying for recognition performed in recital.

First Place was awarded to violinist I-Jung Huang from the New England Conservatory. Jung earns a $3,000 First Prize plus an invitation to perform as soloist in the Brahms Concerto in D Major, Opus 77 with the HVP as part of the 2016/17 season, plus a trip to Italy to perform as part of the Musical Landscapes of Italy festival in August in San Quirico d’Orcia, Tuscany, founded by Poughkeepsie native Steven Slade.

Second Place was a tie between JohnHenry Crawford, a cellist and graduate of the Curtis Institute, and Yitong Guo, a violist from the Manhattan School of Music.

The HVP String Competition, begun in 1966 under the direction of then-HVP artistic director/conductor maestro Claude Monteux, was conceived as a vehicle to identify talented string players for the orchestra. Decades later, the annual competition continues to attract some of the finest conservatory string players in the world. Many former winners th

have gone on to illustrious classical music careers. Previous notables include Marcus Thompson ’67, violist (Boston Chamber Players); Fred Sherry ’68, cellist; Ani Kavafian ’73, violinist (Lincoln Center Chamber Players soloist); and Adela Pena ’85, violinist (Eroica Trio).

The judges were María Radicheva, violin, a member of the Manhattan School of Music college faculty since 2005 and of the precollege faculty since 2001. Daniel Avshalomov, viola, has been a member of the Manhattan School of Music college faculty since 1984 and precollege faculty since 2004. He is also a member of the faculty of the Aspen Music School. Susan Seligman, cello, has been principal cellist with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic since 1984, and is an adjunct lecturer and cello faculty in the Music Department at SUNY-New Paltz.

March 17, 2016 are our associations with improvisation so deeply tied to jazz, yet so little to the classic musical past?” So ask the folks at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College and the Catskill Jazz Factory; and it’s a good question. The latest collaboration between the two regional arts think tanks is a three-piano extravaganza scheduled for this Saturday evening, titled Improv Cubed: From Bach to the Great American Songbook, intended to stretch the boundaries of the way that we think today about improvisation as an ongoing force in musical expression.

The featured performers are classical pianist Tanya Gabrielian, jazz pianist Chris Pattishall and virtuoso André Mehmari on double piano. Spanning 300 years of musical history, their world-premiere performance will include variations on works by Bach, Scarlatti and Schubert as well as ragtime numbers, Brazilian choro, jazz and pop standards and showtunes.

Mehmari will give a free lecture previewing the concert at the Mountain Top Library in Tannersville on Friday, March 18 at 7 p.m. Improv Cubed will be performed at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 19 in the Fisher Center’s LUMA Theater.

Tickets cost $30 and can be obtained by calling the box office at (845) 758-7900 or visiting http://fishercenter.bard.edu.

The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts is located on the Bard College campus, just east of Route 9G in Annandale-on-Hudson.

~The Setting~

Photo of Matt Andersen by Kevin Kelly

Beautiful, Streamside, Uniquely Woodstock

Gruff, warm, intimate, and richly bearded, Canadian soul/roots songwriter Matt Andersen’s voice is instantly likeable – the kind of voice that would lend emotional authority and authenticity to whatever words you might put in the beard’s mouth.

The Commissioner Gordon-produced Honest Man (2016, True North Records) purrs along with buoyant, earthy and lightly funky singer/songwriter grooves, while Andersen’s empathic murmuring deals with timeless themes of gratitude, conscience, dogged individuality and surrender in simple language and a voice not so much like gravel as like northern seapolished stones.

Matt Andersen pairs with local eminence Amy Helm for a night of subtle grit at the Levon Helm Studios on Saturday, March 26 at 8 p.m. Admission costs $50 for seating; standing room is available for $35. For tickets and additional information, visit www.levonhelm.com.

Levon Helm Studios are located at 160 Plochmann Lane in Woodstock.

A change of pace Terri Lyne Carrington drums, Jack DeJohnette switches to piano in Woodstock this Saturday

“I

want people to come out to hear Terri play,” is one of the first things that Jack DeJohnette says when we speak about the concert coming up this weekend. “I’ll play a few tunes, including some from my new solo piano recording, but I want Terri to shine. Terri writes great music and I’m looking forward to hearing her play.”

DeJohnette will perform a half-hour set of solo piano before Terri Lyne Carrington takes the stage at the Woodstock Community Center on Saturday night, March 19. The three-time Grammywinning drummer will feature tunes from her latest release, Money Jungle, when she performs with her trio: Aaron Parks on piano, Mark Shim on saxophone and Zach Brown on bass.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Jack DeJohnette

Evans, Herbie Hancock, Dave Holland, Pat Metheny, Keith Jarrett, Betty Carter and countless other artists. He garnered a 2009 Grammy Award for Best New Age Album (Peace Time); French Grand Prix Disc and Charles Cos awards; prominence in Downbeat and Jazz Times readers’ and critics’ polls over multiple decades; and many other honors, including a 2012 National Endowment for the Arts Ja z z Master Fellowship in recognition of his lifetime of extraordinary achievements and contributions to the artform.

Speaking about his upcoming solo piano recording for Newvelle – a new company with a subscription model offering six vinyl releases per year – DeJohnette says that he was a little reluctant at first when the producers approached him. “I had never done a solo piano recording before, and I thought it might be fun, a challenge, and also stimulating,” he says. The album features his own compositions, except for one folk melody written by Milton Nascimento, and it was recorded on “a really beautiful nine-foot Fazioli grand piano, a very special instrument. They let me spend time with the piano so I could get used to it, because the action is very sensitive. I spent three to four hours with it each week for about five weeks before going into the studio to record.”

DeJohnette’s body of work displays his depth of artistic curiosity and an open embrace of music. This year, his openness crosses over into pure percussion and fluid movement in his teaming up with tap dancer and choreographer Savion Glover. “He’s beyond tap, a total artist,” says DeJohnette of the hoofer who gained stardom in 1996 with Bring in ’da Noise, Bring in ’da Funk on Broadway and tapped his way into the hearts of young movie buffs when technology allowed him to become the dancing feet of the animated penguin in Happy Feet. “He taps to string ensembles, to Mozart, too. You have to see it to appreciate it; he’s really outside the box. I call him the ‘Coltrane of Tap Dancers,’ and we hooked up during one of his artist residencies at the Blue Note.” The DeJohnette and Glover concerts will be “spontaneous, in the moment. There will be no rehearsals.

It’s creativity at a high level.” DeJohnette will play drums and electronic percussion in these concerts, adding, “It’s challenging, exhilarating and a lot of fun.”

DeJohnette cares deeply about our environment and the ways in which we humans live, and create together,

here on Earth. His first exposure to spiritual awareness was nurtured by his grandmother, a Christian Scientist, whom he describes as “a very spiritual woman who put emphasis on the spiritual aspects of religious beliefs.

I went to church, and she talked with me about the writings of Mary Baker Eddy as a companion to the Bible.

Muhal Richard Abrams and the other Chicago musicians I played with in the early years, Coltrane and others, they were into that too. I was always around people who had that.

Coltrane was very profound in that way, and his music is, still, to this day.”

DeJohnette says that his trio with Coltrane’s son Ravi and Matthew Garrison, son of Jimmy Garrison, continues in this vein with compositions that the three of them co-wrote, as well as a few covers, like Coltrane’s “Alabama.” “I’m really excited about the sound. It encompasses intensity, spaciousness, sensitivity, spirituality, melody, harmony and rhythm,” he says, adding that he also plays piano on two tracks of their upcoming ECM label release.

Having served on both sides of the mentorship role, DeJohnette sees the relationship as one of facilitation. “You help the younger person bring out who they are, to develop their own individual voice and to learn to integrate it with other voices,” he says. “It’s an exchange, and it should always be like that: an exchange of ideas. People like Esperanza Spalding and others have a lot of fresh ideas. The elders give them wisdom, and they offer youthful ideas, energy and things I wouldn’t have thought of. It’s a tradeoff, back and forth.”

DeJohnette is among the most prolific and consistently creative musicians living among us, and when asked to share his ideas on discipline and the creative process, he responds, “It’s just a space, and when you go into it, you have to open up to the creative spirit. It’s with me all the time.

I don’t have to do it every day, and I don’t have to be at an instrument to create. I can go there in my head. I meditate, yes; I do it in the evening, but not just by sitting quietly in a darkened room. The whole of life can be a meditation. It’s about turning off the chatter in the head. I do it by going outside to look at nature, watch the birds, listen to music, take a walk…”

“The answers are within us,” he continues, digging into my query about how he balances being part of the world and being engaged, concerned, against how off-balance life often feels given the current state of politics, the environment,

“The Hudson Valley is the best place possible to be, and there are a lot of other places where’s it’s going on, too.”

Terri Lyne Carrington

A longtime Woodstock resident, DeJohnette is a world-renowned musician and a humble, openhearted man. He met Carrington when her parents, Sonny and Judy, brought her to meet him when she was 16 years old. “We hung out and talked about drums. She was already playing semi-professionally then, and we talked and listened to different musicians. She was already very broad in her concepts.

We’ve stayed friends on a musical and personal level for a number of years now, and I’ve followed her career in drumming, composing, producing and educating. Herbie [Hancock] played with her, and she’s performed with television bands [house drummer for The Arsenio Hall Show and Quincy Jones’s late-night TV show VIBE, hosted by Sinbad], has won Grammy Awards…she’s had quite a career.”

So has DeJohnette – and his latest recording, Return (Newvelle Records 2016), is somewhat of a departure as well as a return: Four years after he was born in Chicago in 1942, he started classical music lessons on his first instrument, the piano. When he joined his high school concert band at age 14, he added drums to his musical palette.

Though he has performed on piano throughout a career that now spans half a century, he’s best-known as a drummer and percussionist, and has contributed his sensitive-yet-powerful musicality to recordings and performances with John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Bill

racism and social injustice. “We can’t wait on a candidate or politician to do that for us. People are coming together, in cooperatives, and that’s what’s nice about the Hudson Valley. A lot of stuff is going on here – like [the Local Economies Project’s purchase of ] Gill Farms in Hurley – and there are a lot of conscious people who are concerned about the environment and how to survive when the shit hits the fan. Look at Kingston: A lot of millennials are bringing their money up here. There are a lot of new restaurants, and it’s like a beacon, drawing people here for artistic, aesthetic and environmental reasons. The Hudson Valley is the best place possible to be, and there are a lot of other places where’s it’s going on, too.”

On Saturday evening, the Woodstock Community Center promises to be the best place in the Hudson Valley if you’re a fan of music. And if you haven’t stepped inside the beautifully renovated performance space lately, you’re in for a nice surprise. It’s a lovely and intimate setting for listeners to hear a concert by world-class musicians. Don’t miss this one.

STAGE On the move Ulster Ballet Company ’s Festival of Dance at UPAC this Saturday

T

he increasing popularity of competitive “dance-off ” programs has been one of the happier outcomes of the rise of reality TV. Even for us natural-born klutzes, there’s a visceral thrill in watching people who have mastered various dance forms to the degree that they can play their own bodies like a Stradivarius.

But dance is not an art best confined to the small screen; it belongs on a stage.

Yet how many of us even think of going out for an evening to watch a live dance performance, if one of our kids isn’t in it? If you need a nudge to conclude that it’s time to rediscover the undiluted pleasure of watching live dance, check out this video collage of numbers from the Ulster Ballet Company’s Festival of Dance two years ago: http://ulsterballet. org/festival.html. You may find yourself moved to come out this Saturday evening to catch the 33rd iteration of the annual extravaganza organized by Ulster Ballet.

The lineup of companies changes each year, but there’s always a broad range of dance styles and techniques represented. The 2016 program includes classical ballet, modern, ballroom, jazz, theatrical, hip hop and Irish dance. This year’s performers – some local, some not; some schools, some professionals – are the D’amby Project, the Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company, the Energy Dance Company, the Nai Ni Chen Dance Company, the Neville Dance Theatre, Silver Screen Ballroom and the Syncopated City Dance Company. There’s an emphasis on original choreography rather than revivals of hoary old standards. Expert a surprising, diverse and diverting evening.

The Ulster Ballet Company’s Festival of Dance takes flight at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 19 at the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC), located at 601 Broadway in Kingston. Tickets cost $22 general admission, $18 for seniors and UPAC/ Bardavon members and $15 for children age 12 and under and groups of ten or more. To order, call (845) 339-6088 or visit the UPAC box office or http://upac. org. Tickets (but not the member discount)

This year’s Festival of Dance performers include the D’amby Project, the Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company (shown above), the Energy Dance Company, the Nai Ni Chen Dance Company, the Neville Dance Theatre, Silver Screen Ballroom and the Syncopated City Dance Company.

Raising their Eire Traditional Irish music & dance performance this Friday at Marbletown Community Center, sean-nós dance classes succeeding Tuesdays The arrival of St. Patrick’s Day turns a spotlight on Irish culture: a deep, complex and proud tradition with roots far more ancient than the

SHARING MY STONES Ms. Marianne Angelillo Monday, April 4

honored saint’s fifth-century arrival on the Emerald Isle. It’s not about green beer or green bagels. It’s about literary giants like Swift and Shaw, Yeats and Wilde, Joyce and Beckett.

It’s about Turlough O’Carolan’s exquisite compositions for harp and the magnificent illustrations of the Book of Kells. Most of all, it’s about music and dance forms kept alive over many centuries through the oral (and manual and pedal) tradition, handed down through family gatherings, dance parties (ceilidhs), pub sings (seisúns), village competitions and regional and national festivals (fleidhs).

One of the joys of this season is the annual upsurge in opportunities to catch live performances of Celtic music, dance, storytelling and other traditional artforms. The Stone Ridge Library gets in on the act this Friday by hosting a show at the Marbletown Community Center that includes music by Sean Earnest and Dylan Foley and sean-nós dancing by Siobhan Butler. Rhinebeck native Foley became

the All-Ireland Fiddle Champion in 2014: the first time in 28 years that an American had won that prestigious laurel – and the previous winner had been Foley’s mentor, Brian Conway. Earnest honed his guitar and bouzouki craft while studying at the University of Limerick’s Irish World Academy of Music and Dance. (Yes, the bouzouki is a traditional Greek stringed instrument; but it was championed by a number of prominent Irish musicians during the 1960s folk revival and has since been adapted to suit Celtic styles better.)

Foley and Earnest play the acoustic music circuit together in a prominent Manhattan-based quartet called the Yanks, who have two critically acclaimed albums under their belts.

If you’re even an occasional listener to traditional Irish music, you will likely have heard the term sean-nós, which most people would associate with a particular style of highly ornamented a cappella singing, typically in Gaelic. But the term simply translates as “old-style,” and there is sean-nós dancing as well.

It’s very different from the formal, highly choreographed unison step-dancing style that has become so familiar via blockbuster shows like Riverdance. Seannós dance is more like the traditional Irish cognate of streetcorner hip-hop danceoffs, in which performers take solo turns showing off their prowess and originality.

It’s improvisational, free-form and usually involves quite a bit more arm movement than step-dance. But it’s also fast and highly percussive, often performed on a board or even a door taken off its hinges if a good wooden floor isn’t available to emphasize the sonic element. If traditional Irish lilting is “mouth music,” then seannós dancing – like clogging or tap – is “feet music.”

Not only is Siobhan Butler a highly skilled performer and teacher of Irish dance, but she was also the first person to perform sean-nós dance onstage at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. It’s a rare opportunity to experience top-shelf renditions of two forms of the Celtic performing arts tradition, together onstage at the Marbletown Community Center beginning at 7 p.m. on March 18.

A reception will follow, and best of all, admission is free!

And if you find yourself intrigued enough by Butler’s performance to try your own feet at sean-nós dance, she’ll be lingering in the area to offer a series of three Irish dance classes in the same venue on Tuesday evenings, March 22 and 29 and April 5, beginning at 6 p.m. The classes are open to dancers ages 13 and older, and the fee per class is $5. Class size is limited to 15, so register early on the Library’s website, www.stoneridgelibrary. org. The Marbletown Community Center is located at 3564 Main Street (Route 209) in Stone Ridge. For more info, call (845) 687-7023, extension 108.

Great leap forward Kickstarter campaign aims to restore Kaatsbaan Gatehouse in Tivoli

Most of the buildings in regular use at the 153-acre Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli are in great shape: the Studio Complex and Theatre and the Dancers’ Inn, which provides living accommodations for performers-in-residence. But the cultural institution’s most public face is its only structure visible from the road: the Gatehouse, located at 120 Broadway. And it’s in need of help.

Once a private home, the 19th-century building has been used to house dancers,

choreographers, artistic directors and teachers. Kaatsbaan performers gather there for downtime (yes, even highstrung ballet dancers occasionally relax) and to cook communal meals. But the Gatehouse’s exterior is now in a state of disrepair. The front porch is badly rotten and needs to be replaced; the siding needs major attention; the entire building needs painting.

Renovations and restoration are planned that will greatly enhance the community’s appearance while making the building more energy-efficient and comfortable for visiting dance artists. Kaatsbaan has mounted a Kickstarter campaign with the aim of raising $17,500 by March 31 to raise funds for the restoration work. An anonymous individual donor has pledged to match that amount dollar-for-dollar.

Contributions of $50 or more entitle you to various swag packages including performance tickets and dance posters, but any size donation will help.

READING

An evening of Walt Whitman in New Paltz

T

he literary eminence and tastemaker Ralph Waldo Emerson declared Walt Whitman to be the first truly American poet. His sustained public endorsement of Leaves of Grass opened doors for the acceptance of Whitman’s revolutionary techniques and tendencies. “I greet you at the beginning of a great career,” begins Emerson’s letter to Whitman, often called the most famous letter in American literary history. “I rubbed my eyes a little to see if this sunbeam were no illusion.”

The challenges of Whitman’s verse – namely its uncensored length, its comprehensive cataloguing and a new kind of acutely physical candor – were not lost on Emerson. In a letter to a friend, he conceded that Leaves of Grass was not without “some crudeness and strange weary catalogues of things like a warehouse inventory.” But by Whitman’s account, Emerson’s advocacy – and especially the personal letter – brought Whitman “from a simmer to a boil.” Now, of course, Whitman is regarded not only as one of the first uniquely American voices in poetry (along with Emily Dickinson), but also as the first modern poet and as the inspiration of ecstatic and experimental poets the world over – most notably his direct American heirs, the Beats.

On Saturday, March 19 at 7:30 p.m., the Mohonk Mountain Stage Company (MMSC) presents an evening of Whitman at Woodland Pond in New Paltz.

Whitman will be interpreted by longtime MMSC performer William Connors.

Admission costs $15. Woodland Pond is located at 100 Woodland Pond Circle in New Paltz. For more information on the event, visit www.mohonkmountainstage. com.

Irish heartbeat Solas An Lae's performance in Rhinebeck to feature The Celtic Soul of Van Morrison

“W

e’ve coined it American Irish, because it’s a training concept first and foremost,” says Patrick Brown, technical director for the American Irish dance company Solas An Lae. “And in performance, that training comes through. These dancers learn strictly traditional Irish dance – both the tap, hard-shoe aspect of it and the soft-shoe slipper – but they’re also trained in ballet and contemporary movement, so these things all kind of mesh together and they have that versatility when it hits the stage.”

The Solas An Lae American Irish dance form was developed by The Solas An Lae dance company the company’s artistic director, Deirdre Lowry. “It has really been her mission since she began all this in 1998 to bring Irish dance to a performance platform that isn’t what people assume it will be,” adds Brown. “It made by the Irish as they assimilated. isn’t just steps.

Agree & move forward SNL veteran Denny Dillon offers improv classes at Kingston’s Old Dutch Church You’ve probably walked away from a conversation and immediately thought of all the things that you could have said to make your point, and in the process, maybe even presented yourself more effectively to others. But the moment is gone, and you’re left with a vague dissatisfaction. Your ability to communicate hinges on so many factors; perhaps the most central is being centered in yourself and having your attention on what is being said by others in the present tense – like, having your mind right here and now; not in the past or in some imagined future.

Denny Dillon, Saturday Night Live

alumna and s t a g e / T V/ f i l m actress, has a bit of expertise in extemporaneous self-expression.

She’s a master of improvisational theater: that fast-moving, ever-surprising performance genre in which impromptu stories unfold, including dialogue, action and characters, all accomplished without a pre-written script. Dillon’s background and training in improvisation include a stint teaching at the Actors Conservatory in New York City and giving master classes at the Peoples Improv Theater in New York City, as well as colleges like Vassar and Syracuse University. She has been artist-in-residence at SUNY-Ulster and has created numerous workshops and performances in the local community, particularly with the group Improv Nation.

Dillon is currently offering classes in the genre at the Old Dutch Church on Saturday afternoons. She maintains that improvisation releases bursts of creativity and imagination, while developing both spontaneity and the skill of listening at the same time. “It’s my belief,” she says, “that improvisation is a valuable tool for everyone. It aides us in really deep listening – not hearing, but listening to what people are saying. It’s very spiritual, I think, like meditation in action.

“The core of improvisation is about being relaxed, in the moment. In that way, I find it valuable for anybody in any walk of life. No one in my class is planning a professional career on the stage, but people are finding it helpful in terms of their own lives. It helps people expand their imagination, get out of their comfort zone – you’re onstage with someone, and you’re creating things out of nothing.

Also, it has to do with deep trust. In improvisation, we learn to think of our partners as geniuses, and be very loving and grateful for everything that they give us.

“There is a rule you must follow: You agree and move forward. In real life we disagree; it’s constant conflict. That maxim – agree and move forward – is so valuable in life. Another guide is: no questions. Questions control and deflect and place the burden on someone else.

Whenever we ask questions, in the artform of improvisation, we stop the

movement. That is one of the hardest things to unlearn. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with asking questions in real life…”

Classes are offered for adults, including young adults 16 and up, and class size will be limited. Past theatrical or improvisational experience is not necessary.

Quick fix Learn “How to Sew on a Button” this Saturday at Repair Café in New Paltz

Scenes from Mia Madre featuring John Turturro and Margherita Buy

SCREENING

Troppo trouble Joe Luzzi leads Q & A at free members’ screening of Moretti’s Mia Madre at Upstate Films Rhinebeck this Sunday

M

ia Madre (2015), the latest film by Palme D’Or-winning Italian director Nanni Moretti (The Son’s Room, Dear Diary, We Have a Pope), had its New York City premiere at the New York Film Festival last September, after copping eight major awards on the international festival circuit. But it doesn’t go into general theatrical release until April. So it was a coup for Upstate Films Rhinebeck to get the distributor’s permission to screen Mia Madre this Sunday afternoon, as a free treat for members. Making this outing even more enticing, Bard College professor Joe Luzzi will be leading the post-screening discussion.

An expert on Italian culture both high and low, Luzzi is the author of My Two Italies and In a Dark Wood: What Dante Taught Me about Grief, Healing and the Mysteries of Love. His experiences of personal bereavement chronicled in the latter stand him in good stead to offer perspective on the themes of the film: It’s a tragicomedy that follows the struggles of film director Margherita (Margherita Buy) as she tries to keep things together on the home front – divorced, with a dying mother and a rebellious teenaged daughter – while getting her feature film shot. Complicating matters further is the chaotic presence of a pompous American movie star (John Turturro) who forgets his lines, makes up new ones, argues and rants.

Mia Madre begins at 2:30 p.m. on March 20, with question-and-answer session with Joe Luzzi to follow. Upstate Films members get in free. For more info, visit http://upstatefilms.org/coming-soon/mia-madre. Upstate Films is located at 6415 Montgomery Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck.

Everyone, even the most hopelessly inept, knows how to sew on a button – right? Well, according to seamstress extraordinaire Lisa Weinstein, there are many wrong ways to go about it.

In the next in the Repair Café’s ongoing series of do-it-yourself workshops, Weinstein will teach attendees how to do it so that the button “buttons up” the way that it’s supposed to, and stays on for years to come.

“How to Sew on a Button” begins at 12 noon during the next Repair Café in New Paltz, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, March 19. The location is the New Paltz United Methodist Church at the corner of Main and Grove Streets.

Admission is free; but bring a beloved buttonless item of your own (and a corresponding button) if you’d like to take the workshop, and a non-perishable food item to donate to Family of New Paltz if you’re bringing an item for repair.

At the Repair Café, work tables are set up, staffed by “repair coaches” with significant skills in fixing items in many categories: mechanical/ electrical, clothing/textiles, things made of wood, dolls/stuffed animals, digital/ electronic, jewelry. There’s a Take-Apart Area to keep kids busy, a Listening Corner for psychic repair, sometimes a massage chair, free coffee and tea and baked goods and fruit for sale. For more info on this event, and on upcoming Repair Cafés in Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Rhinebeck, Rosendale and Gardiner, visit www.repaircafehv.org or www.facebook. com/repaircafehudsonvalley.

ART EXHIBITION

“Shimmering Substance” in Woodstock

“S

himmering Substance: Selections from Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grantees of the Hudson Valley” is currently on view at the Kleinert/James Center for the Arts in Woodstock. The participating artists – Tricia Cline, Mary Frank, Elliot Green, Kahn and Selesnick, Jason Middlebrook, Martin Myers, Doug Navarra, David Nyzio, Mia Westerlund Roosen, Carolee Schneeman, Robert The and Keiko Sono – work in a variety of media but have in common that they’re all Hudson Valley-based recipients of grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, established 30 years ago in the memory of painters Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock. The exhibition is curated by Heather Hutchison, Doug Milford and Portia Munson for the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild.

The Pollock-Krasner Foundation has been a major supporter of Byrdcliffe’s artist-in-residence program, which brings 60 visual artists, writers and composers to the colony every year for focused creative time in the Woodstock environment.

Byrdcliffe was founded by Ralph and Jane Whitehead as a Utopian colony in 1902, and continues to maintain the original principle that living a balanced lifestyle in a natural environment motivates artistic production. The title of the exhibition, “Shimmering Substance,” references a 1946 work by Jackson Pollock that he painted after moving to rural Long Island. The way in which Pollock responded to nature in his new environment is linked by the curators to the belief in the creative influence of nature held by the Whiteheads in founding Byrdcliffe.

The exhibition program of the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild celebrates the interdisciplinary legacy of the Byrdcliffe Art Colony.

The works on view in “Shimmering Substance” range from the lifelike porcelain human and animal figures with literary identities by sculptor Tricia Cline to Robert The’s powersaw-fabricated sculptures made out of books “lovingly vandalized,” as he puts it, into body organs or insects. Elliott Green and Martin Myers are both abstract painters, and the collaborative team of Richard Selesnick and Nicholas Kahn works in many media, often producing staged photographs with art/historical references. There are gouache drawings by Doug Navarra on antique found paper, and esoteric smoke paintings and a floor installation of “sheep-licked salt” by David Nyzio. And Keiko Sono will present a looped time-lapse video of images from her public art project about Yankeetown Pond.

Sono’s original idea to enlist the help of passersby to take photographs of Yankeetown Pond to compile into a time-lapse video showing the transformation of the site over time and its interaction with the elements ended up becoming an experimental public art project. Dissenting local residents, fearing that the project would draw too much attention and ruin the natural beauty of the site, overturned the platform that Sono had set up for people to take the photos. Issues of land ownership and relationship to the land came into question, with the final video becoming a fusion of the original project with material relating the broader scope of the public reaction to it and the questions that it posed. The video that Sono is exhibiting in “Shimmering Substance” will be a purely artist-based project, she says, with just her own time-lapse photography of the site.

Sono will lead a gallery discussion in the Kleinert/James on Sunday, April 17 from 4 to 6 p.m. on the topic of “Art in the World of Post-Capitalism,” examining how the changes in the way that the world works now, as it appears to be moving from a capitalistic hierarchy to a sharing economy (think Airbnb and Uber as just two examples), can herald a better day for artists.

“This is coming from two different directions,” Sono says. “One is from my personal experience as an artist, and the other side is what I’m observing in society at large.

My personal experience involves issues that most artists in our area have: The system the art world is functioning under is scarcity-based, meaning there are a lot of artists at the bottom and as they climb up the ladder, there are all these screening systems where you have to apply for residencies and grants. And as you go up and up, there are less and less artists, and that’s how the art world sustains itself. It’s based on the scarcity of the work of those who remain at the top, so the value of the artwork increases; and that benefits the dealers and the collectors, but not a lot of artists.”

And before an artist can even get to the screening part, Sono adds, of applying for grants and residencies, he or she has to develop a huge body of work first. “We’re expected to make so much work before we even get to the starting line, but the cost of that in terms of time and money is prohibitive for most of us.”

Even so, she says that she sees “an incredible output” from artists in the Hudson Valley. “A lot of the artists are creating for the love of it. And that has been a source of inspiration for me ever since I started getting involved in the arts community here:

"What kind of business model, or non-business model, can we develop that will allow artists to make the kind of work that they’re really good at and don’t have to compromise?"

Tricia Cline, Knowing's Wife, 2015. Porcelain, 17" x 11" x 8"

Keiko Sono in her studio

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

this incredible output despite the lack of financial support and lack of opportunities.

I see that as an incredible waste of labor and talent for society. This not only hurts the artists themselves, but I think society at large is being cheated.”

And it doesn’t stop with the professional artists, Sono believes. “I see so many people in this community as a whole who are not artists, but who share that sensibility for what I call artistic experience: the ability to take a moment to appreciate nature, the full experience of life, food, good times with people. I think these are all connected, and these are the source of art.”

So the question becomes, “How do we tap into this incredible pool of talent and energy so that this can be put into the flow of economy?” says Sono. “A lot of people are thinking about the same kind of thing; I’m not the only one. Even economists are talking about the way that capitalism is running its course; it’s just not working anymore. People are coming up with a lot of terms for it: the new regenerative economy, knowledge-based or information economy or post-capitalism. But the trend seems to be that we’re going more and more in that direction, and we don’t know how to deal with it in our capitalistic system that we’re still living in.”

Sono is in the process of teaming up with several other artists to form an organization or a business – too soon to tell how it will be structured yet, she says – to engage with these issues. “I believe artists have to be in the conversation.

What kind of business model, or non-business model, can we develop that will allow artists to make the kind of work that they’re really good at and don’t have to compromise? It sounds like a Utopian idea, but I have a few concrete ideas and some small projects in mind in that direction. I’m looking forward to this opportunity [the gallery talk on April 17] to put this issue out there. Artists really need to be progressively involved in experimenting with what we can do.”

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Blue as a glacier Rare Himalayan poppy needs refuge from summer’s heat

F

or 30 years, I’ve longed to catch at least a glimpse of Himalayan poppy (Meconopsis betonicifolia) in blossom; finally, yesterday, I achieved that goal. I wish I could say that I braved high seas to get to India, then traipsed across increasingly mountainous plains and finally clawed my way up some jagged peak before coming face-to-face with the blossom. No, I was in Philadelphia, at the Philadelphia Flower Show, when I remembered that nearby Longwood Gardens puts on a show of Himalayan poppies each year in early March. All that was needed was to brave traffic for the one-hour drive (40 minutes without traffic) over to Longwood.

It was 30 years ago that expert plantsman and orchid-hunter Norman Kellar told me of his admiring the blue poppy’s sky-blue blossoms, both in reality and in reflection, from across a pond in England. The flowers, he said, are the purest blue of any flower.

Did Longwood’s show meet up to my 30-year buildup? Yes. The petals, delicate as tissue paper, are a sky blue, the bluest I’ve seen in any flower. The center of each nodding blossom is lighted by a bottlebrush of orange stamens.

So why haven’t I, and why didn’t Norman, just plant Himalayan poppy to enjoy in our own backyards? The plant thrives – no, survives – only where summers remain cool.

Above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the plant can’t photosynthesize, so it starves. I’ve tried growing blue poppy in the past. Each time it grew fine until July’s summer heat caused it to collapse, dead.

Longwood’s plants avoid heat by starting life in Alaska, where the plant thrives. Young plants are shipped in from Alaska in the fall and kept dormant in cold storage. Brought into Longwood’s cool (50 to 60 degrees) conservatory in January, they slowly awaken and finally blossom in March.

My plan is to sow seeds in potting soil in a seedflat in late summer, then water and chill the flat in a refrigerator for a few weeks. (Some seeds need that chilling to break their dormancy or speed germination. Whether or not blue poppy needs it, a few weeks of cool temperatures will do no harm.) By early fall, the seedlings should be up and growing, which they can do outdoors and then, if needed, in the greenhouse. When cold temperatures and low light slow the plants into dormancy, I’ll store the pots at a cool location in my basement.

Finally, in January, I’ll move the plants to a sunny window to begin growth. That time of year, even sunny windows don’t get too hot. Come March, with luck, a green thumb and clicking my heels together three times, the sky-blue blossoms will be staring at me – or out the window.

My first sighting of “our” bluebird was a week ago. Next year, looking at blue poppy plants blossoming at a window and bluebird outside the window would be a very nice prelude to spring.

Flowers have never been a focus of my gardens, and less so as each year goes by and I pay more attention to more enduring elements of my yard, such as fences, arbors, hedges, trees and walls. Still, some flowers – such as the blue poppy – are worth the effort.

In years past, seedflat upon seedflat of all kinds of flowers would occupy growing space. This year: just one flat of perennials, that one flat with four mini-furrows: one for dianthus, one for cardinal flower, one for foxglove and one for purple coneflower.

Each of those mini-furrows will yield enough seedlings – to be carefully separated, then planted in individual cells of potting soil to grow into plants – for transplanting, for a nice show this summer and beyond.

The main attraction of the dianthus, for me, is its fragrance. From descriptions, the

that expert plantsman and orchid-hunter Norman Kellar told me of his admiring the blue poppy’s sky-blue blossoms, both in reality and in reflection, from across a pond in England.

Riesen Giant Superb Mix Dianthus that I just sowed seems very similar to the Dianthus caryophyllus that I grow in the greenhouse – except, in contract to its greenhouse cousin, this dianthus is allegedly cold-hardy outdoors in Zone 5. (I have the feeling that both dianthuses may be the same; the “giant” and “superb” in the name hooked me.)

Cardinal flower is a perennial, but not a long-lived one. It thrives in wet areas and, in congenial locations (such as, I hope, here), will self-sow. This flower first caught my attention when its spike of fire-engine-red blossoms stared out at me from deep, deep shade. Deep shade is not home to many colorful flowers.

With spikes of pastel-colored blossoms, foxgloves have a charm evocative of blowsy cottage gardens. They also are only weakly perennial; but they self-sow readily. Their popping up willy-nilly around any garden from self-sown seeds adds to their blowsy effect.

One downside to foxgloves is that flowers all line up only on one side of the flower spike, facing the sun – except for the Excelsior series of foxgloves, which is what I have sown this year. It will be interesting to see how thoroughly the blossoms embrace the spikes, and then how future years’ blossoms, from self-sown seedlings, display themselves – especially since they’ll be mating with run-of-the-mill foxgloves already growing here.

Nothing special about coneflowers. They’re native, easy-to-grow and common. They’re also pretty.

Enough with the frills! Back to pruning kiwifruit and grapevines, blueberry, gooseberry and currant bushes and the plum, pawpaw, mulberry and pear trees.

They are pretty, too – and give me fruit.

JOSÉ FRANCISCO SALGADO

STAGE

LIGHT UP YOUR NIGHT Hudson Valley Philharmonic performs Estacio’s Borealis with projection show at Bardavon this Saturday

C

anadian composer John Estacio had a startling experience when he moved to the city of Edmonton. It was “the first time ever I experienced the glorious spectacle of the Aurora Borealis. Up until that moment I had to settle for textbook explanations and a geography teacher’s descriptions. I had no idea what I was seeing when I first noticed the majestic curtains of swirling green light in the sky one crisp October evening until a friend confirmed that it was indeed the Northern Lights. I was completely captivated and awestruck by the magical sight of dancing light.” The result was his orchestral work Borealis, first performed in Edmonton in 1997 and since repeated across Canada.

Last year, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic (HVP) presented Holst’s popular The Planets with projected imagery by José Francisco Salgado, an Emmy-nominated astronomer, experimental photographer, visual artist and public speaker who creates multimedia works that communicate science in engaging ways. Salgado “collaborates with orchestras, composers and musicians to present films that provoke curiosity and a sense of wonder about the Earth and the universe,” which he has done in more than 115 concerts in 50 cities around the world. The collaboration of Estacio and Salgado is certain to be a highlight of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic’s concert on March 19, directed by Randall Craig Fleischer.

The concert includes another recent composition: Jennifer Higdon’s blue cathedral, written as a memorial to her brother.

This will be Higdon’s second performance by the HVP of a work that has been performed by more than 400 orchestras since its premiere in 2000.

Traditional repertoire will not be ignored in this performance, though. The concert opens with Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite, music that Stravinsky based on Baroque compositions by Giovanni Pergolesi and others of his time. Creation of this work led to Stravinsky’s “neoclassical” (actually neo-Baroque) style, which became very influential during the period between the World Wars. And the concert concludes with Brahms’s joyous Second Symphony, which seems to be largely the composer’s expression of relief after the long and difficult creation of his First Symphony over a decade-and-a-half. Brahms knocked off the whole Second Symphony in one summer.

Very few agents across the state hold this important certification. I told Mitch how proud I was and he suggested that to show my pride I might be willing to pay for his gas for the year.

He countered with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How about you pay just for the increase in the cost of the gas if the price goes up, but if it goes down you owe me nothingâ&#x20AC;Ś but my oil changes.â&#x20AC;?

When I refused, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forget about the oil changes.â&#x20AC;? So I paid the gas Wi increasesâ&#x20AC;Ś nM or ris hmm... on

MAINE COON CATS, GEORGIA & SILAS, (mom & kitten) NEED HOMES. Georgia is 2.5-years old and was found w/her kitten, Silas, now 8-months, in the Catskill Mountains.

They can be adopted together or apart. Georgia’s been a great mom & Silas is adapting to indoor life, but Georgia has made it clear she would prefer a home where she has both indoor and safe outdoor access. Georgia is very stressed & cannot stay in her temporary NYC foster apartment (she’s from the mountains, after all). She needs to find her loving forever home or a foster situation that is indoor/ outdoor.They are beautiful kitties, gentle and sweet and have been vetted and spayed. If you’re interested in adopting Georgia and/or Silas or have questions, please contact Amy at 917-902-2813 or atrakinski@gmail.com FOR ADOPTION: THE SWEETEST ORANGE CAT FAMILY ... Elsa, one of the best mama cats, & her two kittens (born 10/31/15) are ready for their forever loving homes. The kittens, Mary & Kim, have long hair. Elsa has short hair. All are up to date w/shots & are litter pan trained. Elsa has been spayed. At less than a year old, Elsa is just a copper eyed kitten herself. This family is as sweet & friendly as they are beautiful. Mary & Kim are very attached & love each other. We’re looking to have them adopted together. If you’d like to know more about Elsa & her kittens, please call or text (917)282-2018 or email DRJLPK@aol.com
