Laughs with a living/dead love triangle Voice Theatre conjures up a frothy, frisky Blithe Spirit at Byrdcliffe Currently r u n n i n g through July 28 at the Byrdcliffe Theater in a new production by the Voice Theatre Ensemble, Blithe Spirit is one of NoÍl Coward’s more enduring and effervescent plays. When he wrote it in 1941, the spiritualism craze among bored aristocrats was half a century past its peak and mainly in disrepute, making its practitioners easy fodder for farcical treatment. Coward tried and discarded several ideas for a play involving ghosts before arriving at his winning scenario with some help from his friend, the actress Joyce Carey (who later ended up playing the role of Violet in the 1945 David Lean film version). Once he had the concept clear in his mind, Coward wrote Blithe Spirit in less than a week, and knew at once that he had a hit on his hands.

Though dense with the rapid-fire witty banter for which the playwright is renowned, Blithe Spirit’s tone is as lightweight as ectoplasm, treating the subject of death so casually that British audiences demoralized by their losses in World War II found the play a welcome tonic. Its West End run ran for 1,997 performances, setting a record at the time for non-musicals, and it quickly moved on to Broadway. Nowadays revivals are fairly rare, so it’s a treat to have the Voice Theatre bring it to Woodstock, under the direction of Shauna Kanter.

The original setting for the play is among the English leisure class, but it could just as easily be happening in some upscale enclave in the US: a Connecticut suburb, perhaps – or even Woodstock itself. The props, set and costume design of this production evoke the late ’60s or

EVENT

SEE 80 BANDS IN TWO DAYS AT THE ROSENDALE STREET FESTIVAL

A

true celebration of the local by the locals, the long-running Rosendale Street Festival is up to seven stages now, having somehow added one called the “Soy Stage� since last I noticed. Each stage has a known character.

The centrally located Midtown Stage, right on the main promenade, might be called the mainstage, were it not for the fact that the Mountain Stage –tucked back a bit so as to not scare the children – typically plays host the wilder and more raucous and risquÊ bands on the bill.

The Mountain Stage earns its checkered reputation again this year. Headliners upon it include Lara Hope & the Ark-Tones (Saturday at 8 p.m.), who have a huge year on national stages; Shadow Witch (Sunday at 6 p.m.), the new sludge-metal project of the charismatic frontman Earl Lundy, formerly of the Hudson Valley’s beloved funk/rock band Voodelic; and Pitchfork Militia (Saturday at 6 p.m.), the wide-ranging psychobilly power trio who might as well be called the Street Fest’s house band at this point.

The CafÊ Stage tends to feature solo and folk-leaning acts, as does the somewhat more rocking Creekside Stage: a popular place due to its shade and the proximity of one of several beer tents. The roster this year is rich in regional royalty, featuring standouts such as former Felice Brother Greg Farley, Dean Jones’ Dog on Fleas, New Paltz art-rock tricksters Los Doggies, the tap-dancing indie-jazz songwriter Liana Gabel, Woodstock’s legendary Gus Mancini’s Sonic Soul Awe-Kestra, several cool Balkan, Gypsy and world folk ensembles such as Caprice Rouge and Max’s New Hat, local eminence Kurt Henry, Frenchy and the Punk and the legitimately dangerous New Paltz ruffians Yard Sale.

To name a few is to slight far too many, but that’s the way it goes with this stacked lineup: 80 bands over two days, 100 of the region’s best vendors and a bunch of noble causes served by this venerable not-for-profit seasonal ritual, including the Music Departments of the Kingston, New Paltz and Rondout Valley School Districts. Check the schedule and plot your course. – John Burdick Rosendale Street Festival, Saturday/Sunday, July 20/ 21, noon-8 p.m./6 p.m., Free/donation, Main Street (Rt. 213), Rosendale, https://rosendalestreetfestival.org

ALMANAC WEEKLY

July 18, 2019 are inclined to believe (or to behave themselves). There’s a little more going on here than your garden-variety shyster occultist fleecing the gullible masses with her airy-fairy mumbo-jumbo. Coward gave Madame Arcati’s flaky dialogue internal logic, and Strimbeck makes us root for her to prevail. That she travels everywhere sustainably by bicycle, day and night in all weathers, adds a surprising timeliness to this character.

Joris Stuyck plays Charles Condomine, the successful novelist who arranges a séance in his home as part of the research for his next book. His flighty first wife Elvira has been dead for seven years, and Charles is now remarried, to the much more sensible and proper Ruth (Molly O’Brien). Hints of tension between the couple blow up into revelatory arguments after Arcati accidentally conjures up Elvira’s ghost, whom only Charles can see, and Elvira immediately begins plotting to drive Ruth out of the house so that she and her widower can be together once again.

Aside from the supernatural elements, this all fits the basic formula of a Coward comedy of arch domestic bickering and one-upsmanship among the rich and sophisticated. Under pressure from the spirit world they never believed existed, admissions of past infidelities slip out and pile up, which made the play seem risqué in its time, though they’re less shocking (if no less heartless) today. If there’s one aspect of Blithe Spirit that hasn’t worn so well in these woke times, it’s the verbal catfighting between the wives living and dead. One can’t help wondering why, now that everyone knows that Noël Coward was gay, we’re not seeing gender-swapped renditions of this play, as some of the two women’s dialogue would probably sound considerably funnier coming out of a male actor in drag.

All three actors in the living/dead love triangle do superb work with their parts, with O’Brien’s tense, teeth-gritting, falsely smiling slow burn a particular standout. They’re ably supported by John Remington and Angela B. Potrikus as Dr. Bradman and his wife Violet, skeptical neighbors who attend the séance, and Caitlin Connelly as the accident-prone housemaid Edith. And Strimbeck grabs our delighted attention every time Madame Arcati swoops in. Kanter keeps them all on the beat in a vehicle where comic timing, especially in the verbal byplay, is paramount to our enjoyment.

Calling this a “spirited production” is a terrible cliché, but an irresistible one.

Performances of Blithe Spirit begin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday until July 28, with matinées on Sundays (plus Saturday, July 27) at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $28 general admission, $20 for students and seniors.

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER GREATS COME TO TEACH AND PERFORM AT BARD

J

azz at Lincoln Center’s Summer Jazz Academy, a two-week residential high school summer institute for advanced study in jazz performance, takes place at Bard College in mid-July and offers locals a number of opportunities to hear great jazz performed by both the Jedis and the Padawans. Jazz at Lincoln Center, for those not in the know, is code for the great curatorial and canonical energy of one Wynton Marsalis, who, between his work as trumpeter and bandleader and as jazz theorist, historian and educator, is perhaps the single most influential figure in jazz of the last 50 years. (The fact that he is also an utterly elite classical trumpeter and pure murder on Baroque trumpet concerti is just gravy of the most delightful kind.)

All of which is to say that the great Wynton – a fixture on campus in past Summer Jazz Academies – won't be in Annandale this year. Still, the Jazz Faculty is shot through with greatness of his own choosing. The Summer Jazz Faculty concert takes place on Saturday, July 20 at 2 p.m. in Bard’s Olin Hall. It costs $25 to see this octet of absolutely cream-of-the-crop players.

On Sunday July 21 at 2 p.m., the student ensembles perform music by Coltrane, Monk, Hancock, Ellington and more. Tickets cost $15. The Jazz at Lincoln Center All-Stars, joined by trumpeter Kenny Rampton, perform at Olin Hall on Saturday, July 27 at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $25. Finally, in the jazz equivalent of an orchestral gala, the Summer Jazz Academy Big Band Finale rocks the curtain close on Sunday, July 28 at 1 p.m. Tickets cost $15.

Big Indian Park hosts Thunder in the Valley Native American Festival

“Come join us and take a piece of our culture home with you,” say the organizers of Thunder in the Valley 2019, the annual pow wow set to take place

in the aptly named hamlet of Big Indian on the weekend of July 20 and 21. Native American dancing, drumming, craft vendors, food vendors, storytelling and audience participation are the fare being served up at the two-day gathering.

The Spirit of the Mountain Singers are serving this year as the Host Drum, with John Boles as emcee, and Wolf ’s Moon Medicine Drum as the Guest Drum, but all dancers and drummers are welcome to join in. Featured performers include the Salinas Family of Aztec Fire Dancers, Annie Mardiney’s Wild Mountain Birds of Rosendale (on Saturday only), flute-player Richard Olivera and historian/storyteller Evan Pritchard.

Big Indian Park will be open for this event from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. The Grand Entry parade is “scheduled” for noon each day, although promoters note parenthetically that this is to be taken as “Indian time” – meaning that it will happen when all is in readiness.

Thunder in the Valley goes on rain or shine. The site is handicapped-friendly, and attendees are advised to bring a chair or blanket for seating. Entry costs $8 general admission, $3 for kids under 12, seniors and veterans with ID. For more info, call Tony Moon Hawk at (917) 4155139.

MOVIE REVIEW

Reality star shines Jessie Buckley radiates big-screen talent in Wild Rose

L

ife is notoriously short and overfull of what we need to do to make a living; as Wordsworth observed, “Getting and spending we lay waste our powers.” We may envy people who get to do what they love – or better, cheer them on, even if it’s only in twohour bites in a cinema, and especially if their stories involve overcoming some adversity to get there. It’s a common enough trope that a movie about a performing artist rising from obscurity through talent and determination needs some special spark to set it apart from the pack that came before. While there’s nothing notably original about its narrative, English director Tom Harper’s new film Wild Rose catches instant fire from its leading lady, Jessie Buckley.

AIMEE SPINKS |NEON I suspect I’m not alone in coping with the abovementioned Jessie Buckley plays a working-class 23-year-old unwed mother of two from Glasgow who’s obsessed with over-busyness of life in part by arbitrarily excising large American country music in Wild Rose chunks of things of popular interest from my field of view, and one of those areas of deliberate uninterest is TV talent-search shows like American her last morning of a one-year prison sentence for a drug-related offense.

Tens of millions of people follow these her tracker ankle bracelet under a pair of white cowboy boots, she struts off first programs avidly, and I wish them joy of it.

The kids have bonded with their Granny Marion (Walters), and the gulf between cross their paths. Thus it was that I had never heard of Jessie Buckley before. But now I’ve had to make a little room for her in my mental files. She’s freaking amazing, them and their mother ranges from awkward to heartbreaking. and makes Wild Rose something special.

Rose-Lynn, who has been singing in a Glasgow country music club since the age In 2008, the Irish-born Buckley came in second on a BBC vocal talent show of 14, dreams endlessly of going to Nashville. Weary of being used as a place to park called I’d Do Anything, the hitherto-unknown winner of which was to be cast as the children while Rose-Lynn sings and parties, Marion disapproves of her ambitions Nancy in a West End revival of Oliver!

Julie Walters’ expertly to put across the emotion and the storytelling in a song. Happily, that formidable comedic talents aren’t tapped at all here, and it isn’t until near the end top-shelf acting training manifests superbly when she’s not singing as well.

Elvis Costello, Blondie play Bethel Woods on Saturday

n retrospect, Blondie and Elvis Costello represent the style and the substance, respectively, of the New Wave pop revolution of the late ’70s. Both in some ways signaled a return to pop’s verities and basics in the height of the eras of prog, arena rock, the decadent decline of the singer/songwriter movement and the commercial era of slick fusion.

Costello was sold as a punk; spend about five minutes with My Aim Is True to laugh that off. He hit like a really urgent and angry Randy Newman, commanding enormous musical and verbal resources and the contextual awareness of a pop musicologist dressed as a punk nerd. Blondie, on the other hand, were pretty much exactly what they appeared to be: a joyous return to pop values and sentiments with a dash of New York subversive cool and a lot of musical savvy hidden just under the hood. Elvis, of course, has had a historically prolific eclectic career, frequently reuniting with his old mates the Imposters (who are the Attractions sans the great bassist Bruce Thomas, with whom Elvis can simply not get along). Blondie’s lineup this year is as close to vintage as it could possibly be. This music probably never thought it would be nostalgia. It should have known better.

Elvis Costello and Blondie co-headline the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, July 20. Seated tickets range in price from $48 to $171.50. Grab a slice of lawn for $36.50.

Teddy Thompson performs benefit concert for Clermont

The Clermont State Historic Site in Germantown presents “In the Key of C: A Concert for Clermont” on Thursday, July 18. This year’s headliner ins a big one for the site’s annual benefit.

Teddy Thompson might be most famous for being the son of Richard and Linda, the duo who made six albums of essential folk/rock (and who charted the course and collapse of their love) across the ’70s and ’80s, but Teddy is both up to the family legacy and uninhibited by it. On such excellent releases as his self-titled debut in 2011’s Bella and 2016’s country/pop homage with Kelly Jones, Little Windows, Teddy reveals himself as heir to his father’s stylistic range and his mother’s sheer likability.

Tickets to this outdoor benefit show cost $10 in advance, $15 at the gate.

der has been a prolific composer and songwriter in his own right, releasing many of his originals under the name NAIL. Most of NAIL’s output fits comfortably under the greater fusion umbrella, but that allows quite a lot of diversity. Some of it is poppy and melodic; some is through-composed and prog-leaning; still more (maybe most) is improvisational, sonically audacious experimental groove fusion in the tradition of Miles Davis of the ’60s and the fusion bands of the ’70s formed by Miles alumni – which is to say, all of the great ones.

Alexander keeps pretty select company as a player. NAIL has numbered quite a few people among its ranks over the years, and they can all play a bit. At the Falcon Underground on July 19, NAIL will feature Nadav Snir-Zelniker on drums, Brian Mooney on bass, Steven Frieder on saxophones and special guest Monroe Quinn on guitar. As usual, there is no cover at the Falcon Underground, but direct-to-artists donations are how it works here – and does it ever.

um. In 2018 she released Things Have Changed, an album of all-Bob Dylan songs, for Verve Records. It received two Grammy nominations: one for Best Americana Album and one for the song “Don’t Fall apart on Me Tonight” for Best Traditional R & B Performance. Her “first career” began with her signing to Atlantic Records as a 16-year-old in Detroit. She recorded for numerous major labels, including Atco, Epic and Motown, over the course of the 1960s through the 1980s.

Known as an adventurous interpreter with no regard for genre boundaries, Bettye Lavette performs at Club Helsinki in Hudson on Friday, July 19. In these intimate shows, Bettye is accompanied by her keyboard player, Evan Mercer. She will be performing songs from throughout her 57-year career, including tunes that she used to perform in small Detroit clubs. Ticket prices range from $35 to $45. Milton opens the show.

BSP presents Combo Chimbita on Friday

On 2019’s Ahomala, the New York City-by-way-of-Colombia band Combo Chimbita claim their turf as heirs to the complex tropicalia impulse,

combining fertile folk melodic and groove traditions with explosive psychedelia and all kinds of unpredictable electronic horseplay. Produced by Daniel Schlett (The War on Drugs, Modest Mouse), Ahomala is a dramatic and dynamic treat from beginning to end. While Combo Chimbita is a band with an indisputably unique sound, they are typical of the signature bookings at BSP recently: global in purview, experimental in temperament and wild live. BSP and Latinxproject present Combo Chimbita, with Yolanda Yolanda opening, on Friday, July 19. Tickets cost $10 in advance, $12 at the door.

Menzingers play Colony on Sunday With their chunky, classic-rockand-E-Street-infused take on pop punk, the Menzingers have maybe 2.5 iotas more guitar wail than the average band in their style, but it’s not enough to require a hyphenated genre name or anything like that. Relentlessly anthemic and sung with what Joseph Campbell might describe as the rapture of being alive, the Menzingers know exactly which itch they scratch. The Philadelphia band will challenge zoning ordinances at Colony in Woodstock on Sunday, July 21.

Queen and Jeans and Big Nothing soften things up for them. Tickets cost $22 in advance and $25 at the door.

The versatile keyboard virtuoso Neil Alexander has made a lot of beans via homage and tribute: as a longtime member of the popular Pink Floyd tribute band the Machine; in his labor-of-love Weather Report, Herbie Hancock and Mahavishnu cover projects; and even, one could argue, in the decade or so of his life that he dedicated to developing a technically grueling two-hands piano version of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring (there is a famous four-hands arrangement out there, too).

mind-control program turned out to be false grails and dystopian science fiction.

Among its many startling revelations and insights, the excellent 2019 Cambridge Analytica documentary The Great Hack reveals the brute, financed leverage that is actually required to manipulate behavior in the 21st century. That older model of control promised a 1:1 agency and efficiency: Man is exposed to an imperceptible single-frame image of hot buttered popcorn, and maybe some breasts for good measure; man scurries to cinema lobby reaching for wallet.

In The Great Hack, by contrast, we see scads of personal data giddily volunteered and collected at thousands and thousands of social and commercial contact points; they just put out the marked buckets and we fill them! These abundant data fuel precise, real-time behavioral profiling and

the identification of a soft segment of the population deemed “persuadables�: those who stand between you and the thing you want to make happen.

The persuadables are then treated to multi-million-dollar fireworks displays of messaging – a bombardment, a bludgeoning, a round-the-clock bath of disinformation and data-driven e m o t i o n a l manipulation, all of which is intended to move them about one half-inch to the right: enough to swing an election in Trinidad and Tobago; enough to eke Brexit through (“Oops, we won,� said Cambridge Analytica’s head honcho Alexander Nix); and enough, perhaps, to give us president Donald Trump. Oops.

A wild success at its 2019 Sundance Film Festival premiere, The Great Hack was directed by Oscar nominees Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer (The Square, The Control Room). Over nearly two hours of analysis and intimate engagement with key players, The Great Hack documents

tions that bypassed awareness and spoke directly to subconscious impulse, invulnerable to critical thinking.

The new science had been summarized for popular audiences a generation before in the popular, alarmist books of Vance Packard, a journalist and fierce critic of consumerism whose 1957 book The Hidden Persuaders laid out exactly how our desires and decisions were being manipulated in targeted and irresistible ways. Imagine the despair the robot feels upon discovering that she is a robot, the loss of autonomy, agency and inner dominion! It is easy to forgive the panic of the tech-rich ’50s. The revelation of subliminal science must have felt like the psycho-emotional equivalent of the bomb.

The theory of subliminal messaging, it turned out, was based entirely on a few fraudulent clinical studies with falsified results. Practical behavioral science had not, in fact, progressed to such advanced levels of remote control. But of course the study of behavior continued unabated, even if many of the ecstatic claims of the subliminalists and the CIA’s MK Ultra

or journalist from the rest. They spent months tracking people down and then getting their trust. It is also amazing how few people understand the artistry behind it.

I was raised during the height of the panic about subliminal advertising, where the most frightening prospect was that, even if we are armed with education and good critical thinking skills, we couldn’t escape this pernicious control because it bypassed the intellect. Now I look at what CA (and countless other unknown firms) do with data, and we ask the same question: Can we defeat the manipulation and control with critical thinking alone? Can it be combated with legislation?

New York professor and data rights advocate David Carroll in The Great Hack

the Cambridge Analytica scandal literally as it unfolds, with pivotal moments caught live and through the eyes of virtually all the principals except CA’s Alexander Nix, who declined to participate.

Otherwise, they are all here: the British investigative reporter Carole Cadwalladr; the New York professor and data rights advocate David Carroll; former CA data scientist and whistleblower Christopher Wylie; a little cameo from billionaire investor and vanity rocker Roger McNamee (Moonalice), a founding investor in Facebook who has flipped hard against it. Most of all, The Great Hack follows the inscrutable tracks of Brittany Kaiser, the ambiguous, complicated, brilliant and downright-Shakespearean figure whose actions at various times can be said to have both created and cracked the whole damn affair.

While other characters (Cadwalladr, Carroll) emerge as more firmly principledriven, Kaiser is this film’s slippery conscience and the main reason it works as a complex, multidimensional human story and not just an exposé of corporate and political malfeasance, which is a kind of story perhaps better-suited to print than film. Kaiser came up as a highly effectual Obama campaigner, one of the team credited with inventing datadriven, social media-based campaigning.

For reasons ostensibly related to family, financial difficulties and the razor-thin margins of do-gooding, she is seduced to the dark side of data by Nix and goes to work for Cambridge Analytica, changing ideological fashion to the right and developing some expensive appetites in the process (we first meet her swimming in an infinity pool in Thailand).

What moves her to blow the whistle and turn over her vast and damning reserves of evidence is something we may never

know. The filmmakers seem content with the resting judgment that, whatever Kaiser’s motives might have been, good has and will come from them.

In the voice of David Carroll, the Parsons professor who sued Cambridge Analytica to get his data back, The Great Hack leaves us with one final, resonant question that links the film to such groundbreaking work as Shoshana Zuboff ’s The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.

Critical thinking, long taught as a kind of magic bullet against disinformation and emotional manipulation, requires an epistemological foundation in which the truth – not yours, not mine – is ascertainable. In our current political environment in which every person is market and in which national discourse is chaotic and contradictory by design, is there any individual, intellectual defense left against the will of Big Data?

The Great Hack’s executive producer Sarah E. Johnson lives in Ulster County.

Johnson has served as executive producer on a number of successful feature films, including the Academy Award-winning Birdman, The Immigrant, Devil’s Knot and more. But Johnson’s passion is socially focused, activist documentary, and she has had her hand in more than a few: The Square, Chasing Ice, The Invisible War, The Hunting Ground and Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors without Borders.

“We have a country to save after all, or at least a democracy.

Worth a try.”

✫ You have been involved as producer/ executive producer in a lot of socially conscious documentaries. Why did you get involved with that? What is it about the form that appeals to you? The “documentary voice” is pervasive these days in podcasts, radio, publishing, streaming, but last time I checked, docs

are infamous money-losers.

Interestingly, you are correct that documentaries have notoriously been money-“losers,” not made for the profit.

But for that matter, so are most feature films. The only ones who’ve been making money are the agents, certainly not the investors or the creatives! It is a very dark business, and one I hope is changing dramatically.

In fact, recently some of the largest prices paid for films were at festivals for documentaries. Knock down the House sold for $10 million at Sundance.

I personally started “investing” in documentaries more than 20 years ago because I saw the potential for activism, which was my main pursuit at that time: social, educational and environmental. I started producing and am now directing as an afterthought of my original intent.

I do feel as though we can effect positive change utilizing documentary film and its outreach, as well as through socially conscious feature films. We have a country to save after all, or at least a democracy.

Worth a try.

One thing that blows my mind about The Great Hack is how early-in on the action the filmmakers seem to be. Much of the drama unfolds on camera and literally all the principals, except the ones whose lawyers no doubt forbade it, are major voices in the film. I know film is an editor’s art and chronology can be a little plastic when it needs to be, but how did they manage this level of intimacy and access?

Jehane and Karim are personal friends and exceptional documentary filmmakers.

They knew there was a story there and persisted. Even as late as the premiere at Sundance, Brittany was having second thoughts about her involvement. You as a journalist are probably as aware as anyone how difficult it can be to “catch” the moment digitally. It takes a lot of time, patience and persistence – something not a lot of people have great stores of.

But it is what defines a great filmmaker

I am currently doing a film on money in politics, and I believe our very democracy is being threatened by data misuse.

Individual critical thinking is the most important thing we can develop among our children. Where and how does that happen? At the dinner table, at residential liberal arts colleges; but all of these things are under attack currently. If we can’t listen, learn, communicate, debate, then we cannot have a society where all are created equal. And what exactly is the alternative?

Data has now surpassed oil and gas as the top money-producing commodity.

That should scare us all (it definitely does me). I am not one who believes that regulating data could ever really be effective, but I do believe that we should be compensated for the use of our personal data and that the Facebooks and Googles of the world should not be allowed to benefit without our knowledge. How to do that is the million-dollar question.

Some might say that the story told in The Great Hack is better suited to print, where we rely less on identifying with characters and more on facts and argument. That said, a lot of the richness of the film comes from the mysteries of Brittany Kaiser. For all the good her revelations enabled, her motives are shrouded and hinge on an unexplained moral awakening of some kind. That’s a big part of what makes it such a gripping film.

My thoughts exactly. Remember, she came from a wealthy background, and then her family lost their money. She used her connections very effectively, but I think ultimately she got so caught up because of the money. At least in her case good triumphed. I am sure she still has moments when she might regret her decision. I don’t know this for a fact, but money is a great seductress.

Vadym Kholodenko performs at PianoSummer on Saturday Combining a packed schedule of performances, competitions and open master classes, PianoSummer at SUNY-New Paltz is in the midst of another season of celebrating the continued vitality of the 88 keys and the centuries’ worth of brilliant music written for them.

The brainchild of its artistic director, the prolific master pianist Vladimir Feltsman, PianoSummer has succeeded in punching well above its weight, attracting a grade of guest instructor and of student that easily rivals or exceeds larger festivals with greater name value, more spectacular settings and much larger budgets. The secret to its outsize success, Feltsman has always argued, lies in the depth and rigor of the training it provides the students – simply put, more instructional time with more teachers, a great lure for young talent in this exactingly competitive and exclusive field.

Felstman is fond of saying that PianoSummer serves those who can play, not those who can pay. Several years ago, Feltsman cited this redoubled commitment to actual training and financial support for students as the reason why he made the difficult decision to cut the popular festival orchestra concert event. PianoSummer is a lot more than pageantry.

This year’s featured performer, Vadym Kholodenko, performs at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 20. A Van Cliburn International Piano Competition winner described by The Guardian as “one of the most musically dynamic, gifted performers of the new generation of pianists,” Kholodenko will deliver a program including works by Beethoven, Mozart, Leopold Godowsky and Tchaikovsky. Reserved tickets cost $25 and $30.

On Friday, July 26 at 7 p.m., the PianoSummer program concludes with the Flier Competition Gala: a celebration of young musicians whose careers were propelled forward at last year’s Jacob Flier Piano Competition. Takeshi Nagayasu of Japan, Rixiang Huang of China and Hao Tian of China return to New Paltz to showcase their progression. Reserved

One of rock’s most identifiable interpreters, Southside turns everything he touches to Southside, whether it is “Walk Away Renee,” “The Fever” or his signature song, “We’re Having a Party.” This is the essence of New Jersey rock ‘n’ roll.

The capstone student event each year is the Jacob Flier Piano Competition, named after Feltsman’s teacher and mentor. The Flier Competition winner earns a debut recital at Carnegie Weill Recital Hall in New York City, and the top three participants are invited to return to campus to perform in the College’s spring Department of Music Concert Series.

Greene County hosts biggest bluegrass festival in the Northeast The popular Grey Fox is the biggest bluegrass festival in the Northeast. Over the years, the storied and star-studded Oak Hill roots weekend has demonstrated an intuitively deep grasp of the balance of old and new, tradition and innovation, within the bluegrass and folk community. Perhaps more conservative than pop simply because great acts are never just thrown to the wolves (and because parents and grandparents are not only allowed but honored), bluegrass regenerates at a more cautious pace than genres with higher electri-

cal draw, but change and regeneration are no less essential than in any art.

This year’s festival is headlined by a young lion: Billy Strings, who will be performing with his group on three nights.

The 24-year-old bluegrass traditionalist sounds way older than his years and is a raw nerve of a flatpicker on guitar.

The Grey Fox lineup features plenty of bluegrass legends and eminences as well, like the Dry Branch Fire Squad, the Del McCoury Band, guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel and many more. Younger stars include Mipso, Man about a Horse, I Draw Slow, I’m with Her and dozens more.

NIGHT SKY

In search of natural darkness

T

he surest known cause of breast cancer is the absence of nocturnal darkness. Studies have confirmed that women who work the night shift and therefore sleep when daylight is streaming into their bedroom, or those in cities who have streetlights leaking in and keeping their rooms from being fully dark, suffer altered melatonin levels that unfortunately correlate with a much higher breast cancer incidence.

In our 21st century, more than half the world’s population lives in an urban environment, with natural nocturnal darkness a phenomenon many only read about. But we who live in a rural setting still mostly enjoy the natural night and its splendors.

Still, there’s dark and then there’s really dark. Backyard astronomers seek out the latter because all sorts of gorgeous phenomena only materialize when there is no artificial skyglow. I’m quite sure of this because, for the past 20 years, I’ve led annual tours to central Alaska for the Northern Lights, and to the Atacama Desert and the Andes Mountains to see Southern Hemisphere celestial wonders at their very best. Plus, I’ve observed the heavens from Death Valley, the Sonoran Desert, the Australian Outback, the Thar Desert and other places where the Milky Way blazes with such brilliance and that it actually casts shadows.

Our Catskill skies are not that good, although there are places that come close. Our very darkest region accessible by automobile (according to satellite-based maps and actual measurements) merely requires driving north or west on Route 28 just past Margaretville, then turning left on Route 30, and then parking in the pulloff just before the bridge over the Pepacton Reservoir. From that spot, using special sky-measuring equipment (an SQM meter), I’ve confirmed that the best Catskill skies attain a darkness level of 21.0 magnitude per square arcsecond, which is nicely unspoiled.

From such skies, the Milky Way displays countless dark superimposed nebulae that form intricate patterns that Central and South American cultures regarded as the central focal points of life itself. Still, the issue of darkness is often rife with confusion.

Before last week’s total eclipse in Chile, for example, newbies expected that a major attraction of the event would be seeing “darkness at noon.” They learned that it doesn’t get very dark during a total solar eclipse. (You can always read by the light cast by the

solar corona.) During totality, your surroundings are still bathed in about the same brightness as on the night of a Full Moon – not to mention that darkness per se is never the objective or the draw. If you merely want darkness, just step into a closet or don’t pay your electric bill. Obviously, whether it’s detail within the Milky Way or the intricate patterns of the Aurora Borealis, we want dark skies because we can then observe astonishing phenomena that are otherwise hidden by light pollution.

A sky crammed with stars is one of those benefits. From the downtown area of a major city, one can see four to eight stars in the whole sky. From typical suburbs – say, around the Nassau/Suffolk line – around 100 stars appear. In my experience, the feeling of grandeur and infinitude that one can feel under the night sky requires at least 400 stars in the field of view. For comparison, during the next ten days – when the Moon will be increasingly absent – our Ulster County firmament typically displays 1,600 stars at a time for those outside the sky glow from places like Kingston or New Paltz, which means the cutoff is magnitude 5. In case you wondered, truly pure skies display 2,500 to 3,000 stars at a sitting: a magnitude 6 limit. That’s what you see deep in the Catskills, like from the Pepacton Reservoir.

Tremper, it may have fallen in Bearsville, on the right side of Wittenburg between Cooper Lake and Glenford-Wittenburg Rds. This work of art was very precious, painted of a deceased dog who was my partner in work and life for 15 yrs. She was a therapy dog, helping well, sick & disabled people, and the spirit guardian after death of an outdoor contemplative environment, moving to a new setting. If you found the piece, which is a 4’ lexan circle; very colorful w/portrait of her head in the middle, please contact Tobi at the Woodstock Times; 845-334-8200, ext. 117, or call 518-965-1127.

very shy 1-year old Tortie Cats need a quiet home where they can be given the time they need to trust again. TIGER; very sweet 6-year old brown tabby girl who’d make a perfect addition to your loving family. LILY; 8-yr. old cat girl who wants you all to herself.

No other pets, please. Lilly has short hair and is tiger and white. LEXI; beautiful tiger cat girl w/a heart of gold!

If you can give this 3-year old sweetheart the quiet, loving home she needs, she’ll thank you every day! DORIAN; shy, spayed, 2-3 year old female cat who just needs a quiet house to decompress & be loved. Dorian was a lonesome stray. We have MANY ADORABLE KITTENS- (Aren’t they all adorable?) as well as CATS & DOGS of different ages who’ll add tremendous joy to your life. All they ask is to be cared for properly & to be loved. In return, they will give you a lifetime of unconditional love. PENELOPE; sweet 8-month old Terrier mix. She weighs 15 pounds. LACY; 7-year old female Pit mix.

Very sweet & low energy. She’s a doll! SABRINA; 4-year old Pit mix girl. She’s very sweet & affectionate. Please- no cats. Dogsmales only & need a “meet & greet”.

Spirituality

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN. (Never known to fail.) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x).

Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank-you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank-you for your mercy towards me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted.
