Port Jervis celebrates Stephen Crane Day this Saturday From age 5 until 8, the legendary American writer Stephen Crane lived in the small city of Port Jervis, near where Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York meet at the junction of the Shawangunk Ridge and Delaware River. There, he learned to read at 4, soon writing his first poetry. A sickly child, he didn’t enter school until age 8, quickly completing two grades in a fast fortnight. Then his father, a popular doctor, died. The family moved on, and by his early 20s, Crane had published Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, soon followed by The Red Badge of Courage – which he researched by interviewing veterans back in Port Jervis – and countless stories. He died at age 29 as a new century started.

Spring Awakening opens at Woodstock Playhouse

Shipwrecked! opens on Friday at Shadowland in Ellenville

Based on the play by Frank Wedekind, the rock musical Spring Awakening features music by the poster Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater. It premiered on Broadway in 2006, winning eight Tony Awards, and will be staged at the Woodstock Playhouse. Performances take place Thursday through Sunday from June 18 (the gala opening) through June 28. Showtimes are 8 p.m. except for Sunday, June 21 at 7

Shadowland Theatre, Ellenville’s popular Actors’ Equity theatre, stages the historical (and hysterical) tale of Louis de Rougemont, a man who infamously wrote his memoirs to great acclaim in the late 19th century. De Rougemont’s tale told of being shipwrecked, marooned and living for 30 years among the aborigines. It sold millions of copies – until it was discovered to be completely false.

Hint: that spot on the Hudson where George Washington hung out, where commerce once reigned and where the cultural scene is now poised for a major revival – one that will bring on a vibrant street scene surrounded by inspired and safe neighborhoods. The third annual Newburgh Illuminated Festival marks the city’s 150th anniversary. It’s an all-day, free-to-the-public event set to shine a spotlight on one of the most diverse communities in the Hudson Valley by showcasing its food, music, art and history. From 11 a.m. until midnight, the City of Newburgh will celebrate itself and welcome visitors from all over the State of New York and beyond to partake of its special vibe. With thousands of attendees expected to fill the historic downtown area overlooking the Hudson River, streets and sidewalks will be crowded with vendors, kids’ activities, pop-up artworks and lots of colorful music.

June 18, 2015 Washington did indeed sleep here at his Revolutionary War Headquarters, our nation’s first designated historic site. It was here that the general refused the efforts of some to have him declared king. Peace and independence were declared here in 1783 on the lawn of the Hasbrouck House, and the Federalist Papers that prompted the US Constitution were written by Alexander Hamilton here. On Saturday, Interpretive Programs assistant Aaron Robinson will talk to visitors about that era in the program “Capturing Our Past: Visiting Washington’s Headquarters in the Mid/ Late 19th Century.� Open to the public since 1850, the site is a visual clue to our nation’s very beginnings. Robinson’s talk will be held at Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site twice on Saturday, at 11a.m. and 2 p.m., and again on Sunday at 2 p.m. Robinson will describe how the purchase of the property by New York State initiated the saving of other historical landmarks. The Newburgh Historical Society will open the historic Captain David Crawford House between 1 and 4 p.m. on Saturday to welcome the public for guided tours through the 1830 structure and to see the recently opened exhibit “Growing up in Newburgh,� which includes photographs of families out and about in the various neighborhoods of the city in the19th and 20th centuries. Other collected artifacts maintained in the Crawford House represent smatterings of history from before Henry Hudson’s voyage up the river through Newburgh’s phases of growth from village to city as a prospering shipping, transportation and industrial hub. Purchased in 1954 to save it from being demolished, the Neoclassical home at 189 Montgomery Street, now the Society’s headquarters, was indicative of Crawford’s stature as a civic leader and successful maritime entrepreneur. The Crawford House is typically open for tours on Sunday afternoons. During the Newburgh Illuminated festival, admission is free.

Other sites on the trolley tour include the North Plank Tavern and the Ritz Theater, where I Love Lucy debuted and where stars such as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Xavier Cugat, the Ink Spots and Bill “Bojanglesâ€? Robinson performed. One of the first stops will be at the Newburgh Free Library, where horticulturalists can ooohh and aahh at “Spotlightâ€?: a Standard Flower Show presented by the Marlborough-on-Hudson Garden Club. Newburgh is nothing if not an eclectic population of residents, internationally recognized artists and musicians and innovative small businesses and makers. The Festival will feature a marketplace of Hudson Valley artisans, small businesses and community partners offering distinctive handicrafts and unique gift items including jewelry, home dĂŠcor, vintage items, sweets and treats, designer items, health and beauty products and much more. The World of Food will feature authentic Peruvian, Ecuadorian,

Dominican and Mexican staples, along with Indian delicacies, Jamaican specialties and more.

will showcase light installations and the works of local artisans in windows and pop-up galleries. And visitors will meet contemporary local artists in open studio visits, too.

And participate in the Yoga Mela, a collaborative yoga retreat featuring Hudson Valley instructors who will teach classes of their specialty throughout the day. Now let’s talk about the music. Over two dozen genres and musical interests will be featured throughout the day on four separate stages within the fiveblock consolidated Festival. Visitors can hear reggae, rock, soul, funk, metal, gospel, jazz, punk, ska, electronic, hip hop, Indian and folk, performed by local and internationally renowned artists. Headlining the musical agenda are Newburgh native Saul Williams and Grammy-winner Corey Glover of Living Colour fame. Williams, a rap artist pioneer, is fresh from a stint on the Tupac Shakur Broadway inspired Holler If Ya Hear Me. He brought Newburgh to the national stage when he appeared on the Colbert Report in 2014 to talk about his portrayal of Tupac Shakur’s music as a window into life in the inner city. The Main Stage will be hosted by performance artist/poet/songwriter/ producer/entrepreneur Poet Gold, a/k/a Bettina “Gold” Wilkerson. In approximate order of performance beginning at 11:30 and ending at 12:45 a.m.: Breakneck Annie (old-timey traditional folk), Doctor Magkneetow Medicine Show (classic rock), Kid Audra (electronic), Conjunto Intenso (Latin), Martyr Art (alternative metal), a welcome-to-Newburgh/thanksto-sponsors-and-volunteers talk by mayor Judy Kennedy from 4 to 4:30 p.m., Decora (hip hop), the Slim Kings (blues/rock), the Funk Junkies (funk), Corey Glover (soul/ rock), Saul Williams (deaf poet jam fusion rock) and Attn: Dfct (electronic dance).

There’s a classic photograph of Byrdcliffe co-founder Jane Whitehead representing the Woodstock Guild; the atmospheric Evening Song, by Tona Wilson, from Women’s Studio Workshop. And these are all the tip of a much larger selection of more than 7,000 objects from the collections of the Dorsky Museum at the college, the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum (WAAM), the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild and Rosendale’s Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW) that will be added to the www.hvvacc.org website over the coming year. The current digitization effort started out as discussions about the finding of joint storage space for each institution’s growing collections. Along the way, the idea of a centralized research tool, online, came into view and was eventually funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), as well as from former US congressman Maurice Hinchey and the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area. The purpose of the collaborative is to raise awareness of the Hudson Valley’s rich artistic and creative culture, both past and present, and to increase access to the organizations’ permanent collections for the educational benefit of scholars, students, artists, curators, historians, authors and the people of the Hudson Valley and beyond. Like similar shared-service efforts in government and business, the idea was also to “facilitate collaboration among the five organizations.” “This project is the result of five years of work on the part of the Dorsky and its partners, each of which was required to create digital images of collection objects and to transfer data from existing standalone databases to a new Web-based software program,” said the project’s leader, Dorsky Museum director Sara Pasti. “From the 19th century to the present, the Hudson Valley has been a cradle for artistic creation and innovation. The Dorsky and its partners are thrilled to launch a website that will showcase their collections. The public is in for a treat.” In addition to this collection digitization effort, Pasti said that the HVVACC received a second IMLS grant in 2013 to support planning activities leading to the development of a Hudson Valley regional visual art collections storage facility and study center that will allow collection artworks to be housed in a central location where they can be easily accessed for purposes of study, research and exhibition development. But as for the current website: It’s a fascinating compendium of the region, from the 200 or so artist books created at WSW in limited editions over its 40-year history to the works born out of Woodstock over the past century represented by the Woodstock Guild and WAAM selections to a wide cross-section of contemporary art photography out of CPW, and the Dorsky’s impressive collection of objects and arts from its many teaching collections. The new fascinatingly rich and varied website, www.hvvacc.org, is hosted by the Southeastern New York Library Resources Council and is accessible through its own portal as well as the Hudson River Valley Heritage website at www.hrvh.org. – Paul Smart

Hudson Pride Weekend returns to City of Hudson this weekend Last weekend was all about the flag and the region’s new fun flying of its own freak flags yet again. Now the riverfront City of Hudson holds the region’s top Pride events: a whole weekend of parades, parties and revelry that has become Columbia County’s biggest and most popular public bash each year. Could such a combination of late spring/Solstice events defining the new Hudson Valley ever have been imagined? The annual Hudson Pride Weekend, now in its fifth year, kicks off on Friday, June 19 with two Hudson River cruises,

one at sunset and the other by moonlight, as well as a big dance party from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Half Moon Hudson, the community’s hippest old-style dive with new-style vibes and music. Things start up 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 20 as the Hudson Pride Parade, titled “LOUD & PROUD!� this time around, works its way down Warren Street with lots of music, live performers and a blast of liberational fun (and floats) to a review stand on Front Street, where this year’s judges – representing the LGBTQ’s rising populations of transgender and folks of color – hand out prizes. Down at the waterfront, the afternoon starts rollicking with a host of performances, including one by the Grammy-winning Maya Azucena. Girlgantua Jones and Ophelia Nightly will emcee the festival as well as perform. Later, at night, there will be a cabaret show at Club Helsinki with Hedda Lettuce and another massive dance party at Half

9

Moon. Finally, rounding things out on Sunday will be an afternoon Tea Dance in classic Provincetown fashion, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Red Dot, complete with “The HeyGurl Games.â€? Best of all, it’s all organized for maximum “all -familiesâ€? effect and enjoyment. Be there. – Paul Smart Hudson Pride Weekend, Friday-Sunday, June 19-21, City of Hudson; www.hudsonpride.com.

of renegades, unafraid of electricity, the Clearwater Festival proves once again that while the folk genres may be a commercial convenience, they do not define the tastes and willingness of actual audiences. There’s no contradiction here, insists Clearwater director Steve Lurie. “We believe it’s really important to continue Pete and Toshi Seeger’s legacy. Diversity is something that was near and dear to them, and this year’s festival will be the most diverse lineup we’ve ever had.” Looking along the top line, we see folk/ rock royalty in David Crosby, America’s greatest roots/rock confusionists in Los Lobos, former B-52s Venusian vocalist Kate Pierson and the Mountain Jamveteran soul/folk bard Citizen Cope. No Malian desert blues this time, or Balkan electro-fusion, but once again, the Clearwater lineup taxes any meaningful definition of folk music, leaving us to fall back on Louis Armstrong’s assertion that “All music is folk music. I ain’t never heard a horse sing no song.” The festival’s diversity is not just a result of eclectic, multi-genre booking. Many of the acts on the bill are uncategorizable, multi-genre mavericks in and of themselves – like, say, Florida’s polyroots rovers the Mavericks. Since Fox Confessor, the great Neko Case has been

SHOW

Leni Stern at Quinn’s in Beacon Quinn’s, the little luncheonette that could on Main Street in Beacon, continues to rope in outsized names from the jazz and world-music realms: a testament both to the venue’s gutsy commitment to challenging music and to the hard times that have befallen jazz and experimental music. Leni Stern – Leni Stern! – the German-born fusion guitarist and songwriter, is in the house with her African Trio on Saturday, June 20 at 9 p.m. The storied guitarist has been exploring African fusions for a number of records now as a player and as a songwriter. Her fleet, plainspoken Stratocaster sound has always been a natural kin of the “butterflyâ€? guitar styles of Afropop. This impulse finds profound expression on Jelell (2013, Leni Stern Recordings), on which Stern’s mastery of the subtlety of African rhythms and her command of non-Western phrase lengths is simply effortless. Quinn’s is located at 330 Main Street in Beacon. For more information, visit http://quinnsbeacon.com or call (845) 202-7447. – John Burdick

CHRIS BOTTI COMES TO THE BARDAVON

A

jazz player with a truly global purview, trumpeter/composer Chris Botti is one of the very few pop superstars that the genre has produced in the last few decades. While he always keeps it accessible and user-friendly, there is no denying the man’s substance, especially in his wide-ranging, integral fusions of world sounds and Western music. Smooth jazz be damned; 2012’s Impressions is a quietly dazzling collection of orchestral settings that interprets Chopin, Piazzolla and Randy Newman (three of my favorites) alongside an array of sympathetic originals. His touch is light, but Chris Botti is no lightweight. He is also a looker. Chris Botti performs at the Bardavon on Thursday, June 25 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $57 to $85 based on location and can be purchased at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or through TicketMaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com. – John Burdick

Jill Sobule plays Unison in New Paltz this Friday

COLBY DROSCHER

Jessica Pratt

Best-known for the hits “I Kissed a Girl” and “Supermodel,” the prolific songwriter Jill Sobule surveys the scene with a subversive, playfully jaundiced eye, quietly taking everything that she writes about down a peg with a command of telling detail so subtle and crafty, you might fail to notice the irony if you are not paying close attention. The whole world is fair game, and it has kept Sobule fresh in material for a long time – which is not always the case with songwriters whose catalogues are unfairly reduced to a topical hit or two. The ever-fresh Jill Sobule plays the boutique listening space of Unison in New Paltz on Friday, June 19 at 8 p.m. Advance tickets cost $24 general admission, $20 for Unison members, and $26 at the door, $22 for members. Students get in for half-price with a valid ID. Tickets can be purchased online at http://unisonarts.org or by calling (845) 255-1559.

BSP IN KINGSTON PRESENTS JESSICA PRATT AND WIDOWSPEAK THIS SATURDAY

S

aturday, June 20 will be a night for coming close and leaning in at BSP in Kingston. Output Agency once again proves itself a matchmaker extraordinaire, pairing two very different flavors and methodologies of quiet: a solo set by the always-solo headliner Jessica Pratt and a stripped-down duo show by the nationally known, locally residing band Widowspeak. The California songwriter Jessica Pratt has released two well-received records not just of solo, lo-fi acoustic music but of solo, lo-fi nylon-string acoustic music. Hushed, luminous and – this most of all – completely disinterested in conventional folk chord progressions, Pratt’s work is bit too easily pigeonholed as celestial, harmonically irresolute folk in the tradition of Blue-era Joni and of the meandering, weirdly voiced folk arpeggios of David Crosby in “Guinevere” mode. (Throw in some Nick Drake and you’ve probably got the triumvirate of references of convenience.) These are by no means unflattering comparisons, but it is not hard to understand why Pratt bristles mildly at how frequently they are invoked. Both of Pratt’s releases work with the same Spartan palette: one, sometimes two, nylon-string guitars and one, sometimes two, vocal tracks. Given that pretty-much-unvarying template, it is remarkable how different the records sound and feel. On Your Own Love Again (2015, Drag City) trades in the relative lucidity of Jessica Pratt (2012, Birth Records) for a darker, thicker, more ambient sound and considerably more tape hiss. If anything, On Your Own Love Again sounds truer to the spirit of Pratt’s Muse as something both intimate and remote, commonplace and mythic, traveling across a certain distance to get to this world and losing some resolution along the way. More striking still is the growth in her songwriting toward stronger purpose and popcraft. Both albums work in a kind of bedroom Debussy mode: major sevens and elevens in a colorful waft and wash that are not at all bent toward resolutions, though they happen sometimes anyway. But on the new album, there is a markedly sharper sense of harmonic direction, tighter turns and more shapely lines. “Baby, Back” hints at jet-set swank pop. “Game that I Play” and “Jacquelyn in the Background” almost seem to rediscover Jobim, but pull up well short of any such reference (though with the chronic nylon-stringedness of it all, and the taste for jazzy chords, bossa nova will always be hovering right there). “Jacquelyn” is also notable for its two radical breaks from Pratt’s protocol: A) another instrument, hard to say what, adding a background layer; and Cool Sunglasses Guy) a bizarre tape-speed meltdown modulation about halfway through that is so singular and out-of-character that one wonders if it weren’t a genuine accident. On the album-closing title track, Pratt seems to point in a different direction entirely, toward crisp Tin Pan Alley harmony with a touch of blues and tight, conventional songcraft. One wonders if her next solo nylon-string album will manage to sound completely different as well. Widowspeak, on the other hand, approaches sounding different by using different sounds: many, many different sounds, mostly made by guitars, artfully layered in long-form electric Americana. The genre engines call them dreampop. They call themselves “an American Rock ’n Roll Band,” and I am going with them on this one. Many of Molly Hamilton and Robert Earl Thomas’ songs offer a Brooklynated, degendered, indie cowboy myth with Southwestern, swamp, and Laurel Canyon flavors. They are filled with luminous natural images and the birth of new identities under the moon and stars. The music plays along with a witty, soft twang and drawl, a moody garage vibe and a light, non-binding psychedelia of bent strings and primitive jangle. The exquisite-but-unfussy guitar arrangements are like roughhewn pyramids that contain and enhance the power of Hamilton’s unaffected, ultra-hushed delivery. Widowspeak’s lovely new single “Girls” – a quietly impassioned plea for self-acceptance and independence – was recently released in advance of a finished full-length, All Yours, due in September on Captured Tracks. Tickets for Jessica Pratt and Widowspeak at BSP cost $10 in advance, $12 on the night of the show. They are available locally at Outdated and Rocket Number Nine in Kingston, Jack’s Rhythms in New Paltz, Darkside Records in Poughkeepsie and the Woodstock Music Shop. – John Burdick Jessica Pratt & Widowspeak, Saturday, June 20, 8:30 p.m., $10/$12, BSP, 323 Wall Street, Kingston; www.bspkingston.com.

The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel. For more information, visit www. bethelwoodscenter.org.

MassMoCA hosts Wilco’s Solid Sound festival next weekend While a few bands (among them Jane’s Addiction and moe) can claim their own festivals, few can boast one as cool and arty as Wilco’s Solid Sound, a multimedia-inclined ordeal that goes down in the ultra-cool environment of MassMoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. Solid Sound has always been a showcase for Mr. Tweedy’s open-eared and openminded curatorship and broadening cultural revisionism. Wilco is always the only band that sounds much like Wilco. This year’s lineup is as diverse and deep as ever, featuring Richard Thompson, Real Estate, Pioneer Valley natives Speedy Ortiz, a Bill Frisellfronted group playing music for a film and a great variety of others. Solid Sound happens from June 26 though 28. For the whole story and your ticketing options, visit http:// solidsoundfestival.com. – John Burdick

100 and counting Maverick’s new season lives up to its centennial billing

O

ne hundred years! That’s the age both of Hervey White’s magnificent Maverick Concert Hall and of the concert series that he originated to be presented in it. In some ways a century seems like a very long time. But this listener has been attending those concerts for about 40 percent of their history, and next year most of us reading this article will be attending them once again. Year after year, first-rate musicians from around the country and around the world show up in a small town, often for less than their usual fees, to have the pleasure of playing in a legendary venue for a famously appreciative audience. But things do change at Maverick. The season is now far larger than it was 40 years ago, with more performances each weekend and more weekends to the season. Forty years ago all Maverick concerts were classical, but 100 years ago the hall hosted a wider variety of events, and that variety has now been restored. For 2015, the variety includes children’s music, jazz, folk, pop, Indian music and drama. And although I haven’t seen any special announcement of the fact, the programming is very strong in American music, as it should be. We have a lot of great native chamber music to be proud of. The Maverick “pre-season” has already begun with Ars Choralis’ performances of the Mozart Requiem. It continues with a completely new event, the “Maverick Mash,” on Sunday, June 21 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This long, free event includes classical performances by the piano duo of Peter Serkin and Julia Hsu, and by harpist Nancy Allen and flutist Carol Wincenc; two jazz performances (trumpeter Warren Vaché with pianist John di Martino, and the Teri Roiger Quartet); folksinger Mark Rust; and the Marc Black Band. The previous evening, Saturday, June 20 at 7 p.m., the theater company Actors & Writers presents the first of its three events: a reading of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A&W will be back on Friday, July 24at 7 p.m. with readings of short plays written by members of the company, and on Friday, August 28 at 7 p.m. with a reading of Paddy Chayevsky’s Middle of the Night. These performances don’t require Maverick series tickets; admission is by voluntary donation. The official season begins on Saturday, June 27. The ensemble NEXUS Percussion presents the first of four Young People’s Concerts at 11 a.m. These concerts offer free admission to listeners under age 16; adults pay $5, receiving in exchange a coupon good for $5 off any regular season concert ticket. Other Young People’s Concerts, all on Saturdays at 11 a.m., are Elizabeth Mitchell and Family, July 4; the

Bari Koral Family Band, July 18; and the Miró Quartet, August 8. Later on Saturday, June 27 at 8 p.m., NEXUS returns with guest singers. The program opens with the first of several 100th Anniversary commissions: the Percussion Sonata No. 3, “Maverick,” by Peter Schickele; it also includes a Suite of Persian Songs arranged by NEXUS member Russell Hartenberger, who also contributes his Sky Ghost. The weekend concludes with a unique concert on Sunday, June 28 at 4 p.m.: The Shanghai Quartet and pianist Ron Dank recreate a program from Maverick’s first season, including a Haydn String Quartet, Bruch’s Kol Nidrei for cello and piano and the glorious Schumann Piano Quintet. Check www.maverickconcerts. org for info on a post-concert celebration and dinner after the concert. Pianist Simone Dinnerstein was for years a regular performer at Maverick, usually in collaboration with cellist Zuill Bailey. Apparently, after her recording of Bach’s “Goldberg” Variations hit the classical best-seller charts, she became too busy for some years to get Maverick into her schedule. She returns on Friday, July 3 for a special benefit performance of that Bach work, which she has not played at Maverick before. Dinnerstein’s Bach interpretations have been both popular and controversial in recent years; here’s your chance to decide for yourself. This concert requires special tickets and is likely to sell out; check the website. Another pianist, Adam Tendler, makes his Maverick debut on at 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 4 with a singularly appropriate program of music by John Cage and Henry Cowell. Aside from the inevitable 4’33”, the Cage material will be his Sonatas and Interludes of 1946-48: fascinating stuff from the period when Cage was still composing real music. Cowell lived his last years just outside of Woodstock, and plenty of his music has been played at Maverick over the years. But Tendler will be bringing us something unusual: a collection of Cowell’s early, innovative pieces, some of them involving tone clusters or playing inside the piano. They’re not as scary as that description might sound; they’re amusing and fascinating pieces. The following Sunday, July 5, brings another welcome return and another anniversary premiere. The great flutist Paula Robison, who grew up in Woodstock and played many times at Maverick, joins with guitarist Frederic Hand in playing Hand’s new Four Pieces for Flute and Guitar, another of the anniversary commissions. The program also includes a selection of Italian serenades and love songs, a group of “American songs of the spirit” and a group of Sephardic songs.

On Saturday, July 11 at 8 p.m., the Jazz at the Maverick season begins with guitarist and singer Perry Beekman’s trio in “The Harold Arlen Songbook.” The other Jazz at the Maverick concerts of the season, all on Saturdays at 8 p.m., are the Eldar Djangirov Trio (a Maverick debut) on July 18; the welcome return of pianist Fred Hersch on August 1; and guitarist Julian Lage “with friends” on August 15. The remainder o f Ju l y a n d beginning of August will be string-quarteth e a v y, the traditional center of the chamber music repertoire taking o v e r. On July 12, the highly esteemed Cypress String Quartet performs at 4 p.m. Its program includes the String Quartet No. 6 of George Tsontakis, one of two quartets by that neighborhood luminary scheduled for this season, along with works of Beethoven and Dvorák (not the usual American Quartet, but another masterpiece, his Op. 51). The following Sunday, July 19, also at 4 p.m., the Cassatt String Quartet brings music by two more “neighborhood luminaries”: Joan Tower’s Incandescent and Peter Schickele’s String Quartet No. 1, “American Dreams,” last played here by the Audubon Quartet approximately a generation ago. Schubert’s famous Death and the Maiden Quartet completes the program. There are no string quartets the last weekend in July. On Saturday, July 25 at 8 p.m., we will enjoy the regular annual appearance of bansuri flute player Steve Gorn, a Maverick favorite, joined by vocalist Samarth Nagarkar, tabla player

Ray Spiegel and harmonium player Rohan Prabhudesai, in a program of Indian ragas. On Sunday, July 26 at 4 p.m., the excellent trio Latitude 41 performs familiar trios of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, along with a Duo for Violin and Cello by Daron Hagen. But for the first weekend in August, after Fred Hersh plays jazz on Saturday, another string quartet performs on Sunday, August 2 at 4 p.m.: the Escher String Quartet. I am very fond of this program: Haydn’s Quartet in D, Op. 50, No. 6 (one of the many Haydn masterpieces that aren’t as familiar as they should be); Bartók’s String Quartet No. 1 (his first masterpiece); and Schubert’s Quartet in A Minor, D. 804. And the f o l l o w i n g weekend is “All String Quartets All the Time,” including the Young People’s Concert on the 8th by the Miró Quartet. The same ensemble returns in the evening at 6 p.m. to play two huge masterpieces: Beethoven’s Op. 131 and Schubert’s final Quartet, D. 887. The next day, Sunday, August 9 at 4, the Danish String Quartet, in residence with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, makes its Maverick debut playing (what else?) a Danish string quartet: the Quartet No. 1 of Carl Nielsen. The program also includes Arcadiana by the popular British composer Thomas Adès, who last year conducted his opera The Tempest at the Metropolitan Opera, and Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 9. In past years we would have been rounding third and heading for home by this date, but this year we have a full month of music to go. After jazz on August

In a way, this programming lives up to the expectations that the 100th anniversary season will be something special. The emphases on premieres, composers from our area living and dead and American music in general are unusual and all welcome. But in its variety and promises of excellence, this season looks a lot like a typical Maverick summer. Am I getting spoiled? – Leslie Gerber

HERVEY’S WINDOWS

I

find that I spend a lot of time at concerts “looking around,” since as a composer, I spend a lot of time at concerts. Listening to music is okay, but there is a lot more to a concert than what meets the ear. As a part-time carpenter who designed and built much of his own home and studio, I find myself often fixated on the concert venue as a building – the vessel that holds the music. A “countryman” of mine, Yiannis Xenakis, designed a pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair that also served as the basis of a musical composition performed within it. Shortly after moving to Shokan in 1988, I went to my first Maverick concert. Yes, the music was great, but I was struck as much by Hervey White’s clever design of the “barn” and the large, perfectly asymmetrical window displays. It did not take me staring at those displays for very long before I realized, “Hey! Those are just a bunch of six-pane attic windows, the exact workaday windows in the shell of my stone studio, which was first constructed circa 1910!” They were the “default” window back then, and are still sold today. Yes, he tied together a whole bunch of ‘em – how ingenious! And how “compositional” to take a small kernel, a “cell,” and expand it into a landscape. Bach... “If music be the window to the soul...play on!” - George Tsontakis

15, Trio Solisti – long a favorite Maverick ensemble – plays on Sunday, August 16 at 4 p.m. a program of Schubert, Rachmaninov and Brahms. Brahms wrote three great trios, but No. 1 (revised late in life) is played far more often than the

other two; we’ll be hearing No. 2 in this concert. Saturday, August 22, at 6 p.m. is the annual chamber orchestra concert, in which Alexander Platt demonstrates how fine a musician he is. This program

includes Britten’s Young Apollo (a welcome rarity); the original 1915 chamber version of Falla’s El Amór Brujo with the great Maria Todaro as soloist; and the original chamber version of Copland’s Appalachian Spring Suite. There will also be solo works by two Woodstock composers, Henry Cowell and Robert Starer. On Sunday, August 22, the Ariel Quartet plays Beethoven’s Razumovsky No. 2; Stravinsky’s Three Pieces for String Quartet (did you know that Stravinsky wrote for string quartet?); and Tchaikovsky’s Quartet No. 1. Baritone Thomas Storm joins the ensemble in Barber’s Dover Beach. All these performers are making Maverick debuts. August 29 and still going strong: Pianists Frederic Chiu and Andrew Russo perform at 8 p.m. Schubert’s Divertissement à la Hongroise is a lengthy and masterful work, but you won’t hear it in a month of Sundays. The two pianists will end the concert with Stravinsky’s original fourhand version of The Rite of Spring. In between come two solo works, Griffes’ Three Tone Pictures and Prokofiev’s Visions fugitives. On Sunday, the 30th, the great Borromeo String Quartet plays Gunther Schuller’s String Quartet No. 4, along with works of Haydn and Beethoven. Still two weeks to go! On Saturday, September 5, at 8 p.m., “Woodstock legend” (got that right!) Happy Traum returns with some friends for a folk program. On Sunday, September 6 at 4 p.m., the Dover Quartet makes its Maverick debut in the annual Friends of the Maverick concert. Regular tickets don’t apply for this one, a special “thankyou” to donors who support the series. The program includes works of Wolf, Janàcek and Schumann. Two more Woodstock legends, Marc Black and Warren Bernhardt, start off the final weekend on Saturday, September 12 at 8 p.m. Marc’s programs are usually made up mostly of his original songs, which are excellent. The season ends with a bang on Sunday, September 13 at 4 p.m. The American String Quartet, rightly described by Maverick as “one of the world’s foremost string quartets,” opens its concert with the last of the season’s premieres: George Tsontakis’ String Quartet 7.5, another centennial commission (socalled because it’s relatively brief ). That program also includes the first of Beethoven’s Razumovsky Quartets and the Mendelssohn Quartet in D, Op. 44, No. 1. Newcomers to Maverick will want to know that you can usually buy tickets to a concert until starting time. However, most seats are unreserved, and listeners begin to show up well in advance (usually more than an hour) to get good seats. Books of ten tickets are available at any time and, unlike seasons of the past, these days you can save unused tickets for the following season. If you’re planning to attend several concerts, a ticket book is an excellent investment, and it can be used by more than one person. You can bring nine friends and use a single ticket book. Www.maverickconcerts.org has lots

Alexander Platt: How do I reminisce upon the Maverick? How do I reflect upon a century of music, a steady, unbroken stream of beautiful creativity, of which I am merely the latest tributary? All I can really say is how thrilled I am about this Centennial season of the Maverick Concerts. Founded, as we all know, by the inspiration and the camaraderie of Hervey White – who, like me (and this may not be well-known), was a transplanted Chicagoan – the Maverick has survived an entire century, through wars, hurricanes, pestilence and depressions both tropical and economic, for what are really three very simple reasons: a devoted audience, devoted to music and not creature comforts; a devotion to the highest musical quality; and perhaps most of all, the unending devotion of an amazing band of volunteers, whether they be Friends, donors, Board members or Trustees. It’s for these reasons also that, for the last 12 of those last hundred years, I’ve been able to serve the Maverick as its music director, adding both more concerts and concerts of ever-greater variety each season. This year will certainly be no exception, as we bring to our beloved Hall some of the very best in the classical, world, folk and jazz scene today. Especially now, with my mother having just passed away, I really can’t wait to get back to my mountain perch, to see those everlasting hills and everyone again. Peter Schickele: In general, I’m not a big fan of music in natural surroundings; the natural surroundings usually win out. But a big exception is the Maverick. Something about its size and the spirit of its founders keeps it vibrant and focused. Ever since John Cage “wrote” his famous piece 4’33”, in which the sounds of nature are given their due, the Maverick usually holds its own, with topnotch players performing for a sophisticated audience that can appreciate Bartók as an encore. Here’s to the next 100 years.

Robert Starer (from an article compiled by Gail Godwin for Maverick’s program book): When Maverick Concerts asked me to write a work for Paula Robison in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the concert series, I decided to write Yizkor – Hebrew for “in memory of ” – to honor Naomi Robison, Paula’s mother, a resident of Woodstock like myself and an active sponsor of these concerts. I vividly remembered a dramatic moment at an earlier concert of Paula’s at the Maverick, when her terminally ill mother had been brought from the hospital to hear her. It was a rainy, stormy afternoon and at one point lightning struck so near that Paula, quite startled, stopped playing. She looked at her mother questioningly, and Naomi said loudly and forcefully, “Play on, Paula.”

Paul Dano as Brian Wilson in Love & Mercy

Harmonizing the voices in his head Paul Dano & John Cusack channel Brian Wilson spectacularly in Love & Mercy

T

he history of popular music is loaded with sibling bands who developed knockout vocal harmonies by constantly practicing together from early childhood on. But the sound achieved by the Beach Boys, once they outgrew their bubblegummy surf-pop beginnings, was something that transcended that sort of DNA-sculpted harmonic convergence; it was a phenomenon that bordered on the miraculous.

voices blended so beautifully, but because Brian Wilson has a rare and particular sort of genius. He doesn’t hear the world the way most of the rest of us do; he hears infinitely more, and it transports and sometimes overwhelms him. It could have been for him that George Eliot wrote that sublime observation in Middlemarch: “If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel’s heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence.� It is thus most fitting that Bill Pohlad’s decades-spanning cinematic rendering

of Brian Wilson’s struggle with mental illness, Love & Mercy, is no gardenvariety biopic. Yes, there’s an element of hagiographic oversimplification in it; the good guys are very good and the bad guys very bad. But the film manages to evade the pitfall tropes of most stories about sensitive artists trying to keep their balance on the fine line between genius and madness. For that, credit tight writing and direction, terrific cinematography, really splendid ac ting by all the principals and above all, a soundtrack that deserves to win every single film sound award that exists. Atticus Ross’s score blends actual Beach Boys and Wrecking Crew studio takes, newly recorded music, dialogue and ambient sounds with the voices in Brian’s head so seamlessly and persuasively that we feel that we’re getting a real hint of what it must be like to live inside a mind that raw, creative and tormented. There’s a masterfully executed dinner-table scene in which the clatter of cutlery very gradually increases in volume until we can almost share Brian’s panic attack at the din. The squirrel’s heartbeat indeed. I came to this movie a bit dubious about the approach of casting Paul Dano as the young, ’60s-era Wilson at the height of his career success and John Cusack as the broken, terrified middle-aged man in the 1980s who can barely drag himself out of bed, let alone create music. The two actors don’t even look much alike; but the cognitive dissonance fades quickly, as they skillfully employ parallel body language to convey the protagonist’s

mental state, their posture becoming more fetal whenever Wilson begins to slip into a vortex of panic and paranoia. The way that Pohlad and screenwriter Michael Alan Lerner tell the story, Brian Wilson actually had plenty to be paranoid about: a hypercritical, unpleasable, emotionally and physically abusive father (Bill Camp) in his youth and Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti), an unscrupulous psychotherapist who controlled his movements as oppressively as if he had joined some crackpot religious cult in his middle years. There’s no one like Giamatti to portray a fast-talking, smarmy, sleazy, manipulative operator, and he plays “Dr. Feelgood� with juice and gusto; but if the movie has a notable fault, it’s that Landy is almost too over-the-top a villain to be real, even in Southern California. Playing the rescuing angel to Landy’s overmedicating devil is Elizabeth Banks, of whom this movie has singlehandedly made me a fan. Her character, Melinda Ledbetter, starts out looking like a stereotypically vacuous “dumb blonde� but swiftly deconstructs that expectation, as she finds herself charmed by the older Wilson’s fragility and utter absence of pretension, and then increasingly concerned and proactive as the everhovering Landy begins to show his crooked hand. It’s in these later-in-life segments starring Cusack that Love & Mercy hooks us by the heartstrings; but the studio segments in which the younger Brian conjures Pet Sounds and Smile out of seeming thin air – and wins the

Brian Wilson has a rare and particular sort of genius. He doesn’t hear the world the way most of the rest of us do.

NIGHT SKY

The Solstice conjunction It will dazzle this Saturday evening

P

lanets are making the news: Saturn’s rings are bigger than previously thought. Pluto is about to be visited for the first time. The Messenger spacecraft crashed into Mercury. But thus far, these have been treats for our minds. We weren’t there to see it. So let’s change that. The two brightest stars in the night sky – Jupiter and Venus, which of course are planets, not stars – are now coming together in grand fashion. And the Crescent Moon is joining them to form a dazzling triangle. The next clear evening, take a look between 9 and 10 p.m. in the fading twilight. Venus is the very brightest and Jupiter’s the second-brightest “star� in the sky. Jupiter is higher and left of Venus. On Saturday night, we get the year’s best conjunction. A gorgeous triangle stands there in the west in fading twilight and right into the first hours of full darkness. The three most brilliant objects of the night all meet together. This is a don’t-miss event. If it’s clear on Saturday evening, be sure to take a look. If it’s cloudy, peek the next night, even though the Moon will have shifted to the left and no longer forms the tight triangle. Each evening you’ll see that Venus has shifted closer to Jupiter. During the final day of June and first evening of July, they’ll be almost touching: another don’t-miss event. This all happens against the faint stars of the constellation Cancer, which looks like a crab only to those with vivid imaginations. But Leo’s blue star Regulus is just to the left of the conjunction, though not as luminous as the three protagonists. It would be amazing if the Sun went out all of a sudden while you were watching this trio in the twilight. First Venus would vanish. Then, a split second later, we’d lose the Moon and the colors of dusk. But Jupiter would still linger for another 90 minutes, as “old� sunlight continues on, then reflects off its enormous gassy surface and back to our eyes. If you’re pointing out these easy planets this weekend, it’s good to have a dramatic fact about each on hand, as gee-whiz material. For Venus, it’s the fact that of all the objects in the known universe, this planet comes closest to not spinning at all. It rotates only every 243 days – so slowly that a person walking briskly along the Equator could keep night from ever falling. For Jupiter, maybe it’s best to puncture the “almost a star� or “failed star� myth that one hears so often. Even if Jupiter had 50 times more mass than it does, pressures at its core wouldn’t reach the point where nuclear fusion could ever begin. It’s a planet, period, albeit so massive – 318 times heavier than Earth – that all the others combined

Venus rotates only every 243 days – so slowly that a person walking briskly along the Equator could keep night from ever falling.

awestruck admiration of Hollywood’s best studio musicians in the process (while the other Beach Boys are off on tour) – are what make us want to stand up and cheer. It’s like Wilson’s brain is on fire, making synaptic connections that mere mortals cannot follow. Dano so winningly conveys this musical prodigy as a hyperperceptive, tender, openhearted fellow with fundamentally low self-esteem who just wants to share what he hears inside with the rest of the world – as opposed to the usual biopic trope of the narcissistic, megalomaniacal artistic genius – that we want to shake his bandmate/cousin Mike Love (Jake Abel) for calling Brian a prima donna, for just not getting him. Fortunately, with the help of Melinda Ledbetter, who became his second wife, the real Brian Wilson survived his ordeals and went on to make more music.

on Film�: a film-commentary presentation and book-signing with Ernest Giglio, author of Here’s Looking at You: Hollywood, Film & Politics. Giglio will discuss the evolution of Hollywood’s attitude on film towards American presidents and their administrations. The program will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 25, 2015 in the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home. This event is free and open to the public. Now in its updated and expanded fourth edition, Here’s Looking at You: Hollywood, Film & Politics examines how the tangled relationship between Hollywood’s global film industry and the politics of federal and state governments manifests itself in the real world of political campaigns and in the fictional world of Hollywood films. The book contradicts the film industry’s assertion that it produces nothing but entertainment. While it is true that the vast majority of Hollywood films are strictly commercial ventures, hundreds of movies – from Birth of a Nation to The Help to recreated stories like Argo and

The big apple

Hudson Valley Cider Week kicks off with tasting event in New Paltz

A

n old industry is being revived in New York State: one that hearkens to preColonial times – and one that hasn’t changed all that much in the interim. The fermenting and bottling of apple juice is making a big comeback through the efforts of producers both big and small, and the consumption of hard cider is on the rise. “In the pre-industrial times, everybody had a cider press in their barn. It was a way to preserve the crop,� says Elizabeth Ryan of Breezy Hill and Stone Ridge Orchards. Ryan’s small-batch operation that turns out Hudson Valley Farmhouse Cider is one of a slew of contemporary producers who will be on hand on Saturday, June 20 for a celebration of the beverage. Visitors to Hudson Valley Cider Week at the Deyo House lawn on Huguenot Street in New Paltz will be invited to taste the rich variety of ciders produced by the newest and best local cidermakers, including Warwick Valley Winery & Distillery, maker of Doc’sŽ Draft Ciders; Glorie Farm

Winery in Marlboro; the Standard Cider Company, owned by Brotherhood Winery in Washingtonville; Aaron Burr Cidery of Wurtsboro; Orchard Hill Cider Mill, located at Soons Orchard, New Hampton; Kettleborough Cider House of New Paltz; Pitchfork Hard Cider of Poughkeepsie; Glynwood in Cold Spring; and Angry Orchard of Sam Adams fame, recently moved to Walden. As a part of New York State’s Path through History Weekend, vendors at the local event will strive to educate visitors with cider’s fascinating history in our region. It was made, stored and consumed all over the US from early times, and especially in upstate New York, where the fertile hills were covered with apple

overrun the small producers.� At the same time, Ryan comments how big producers like Sam Adams’ Angry Orchard working with small producers to have federal-level laws enacted that jibe with state laws is a good thing. As of now there is a great variance in local, state and federal regulations, which makes it difficult for producers to operate outside their own regions. Tim Dressel of Dressel Farms is a fourth-generation farmer. He has been producing hard cider at Kettleborough for three years, specializing in a dry cider. “Bone dry,� he says, “a champagne style like an apple Prosecco made 100 percent from our own apples. We’re also making a strawberry cider, mixing strawberries and apples. It’s unfiltered and carbonated in the bottle.

year joining the industry. “Despite being competitors, we’re all very friendly with each other and enjoy tasting each other’s products.� One of the original founding members of the Hudson Valley Cider Alliance, whose mission is to revive our orchard heritage and develop a thriving cider and spirits industry in the state, Dressel and other members traveled to Le Perche in Normandy, France, to visit with and learn from producers of French cidre and Calvados. They then hosted a French group who came to check out the applegrowing region of upstate New York. “This

is the first time we’re holding Cider Week in June,” he says. “Most of the cidermakers are also orchardists, and October [when it was previously held] is the worst time for us. So this year we’re trying June: a good time to offer a refreshing drink for summer.” Vendors will also be selling ciders and other products from their farms. Cider Week connects cidermakers from New York’s Hudson Valley to buyers from top restaurants, bars and retail shops across the region. By promoting an

June 18, 2015 awareness of craft cider in both consumers and the trades, the event will serve to bring profitability to local orchards that are working to revive heirloom apple varieties. According to Ryan, who started producing cider at Breezy Hill in 1996, educating the public about hard cider through tastings and other events is both crucial and fun. “Cider should be poured at every restaurant in the Hudson Valley,” she says. “This is our iconic beverage.” – Ann Hutton

Shanti Mandir Ashram holds International Yoga Day Open House this weekend The Shanti Mandir Ashram is situated on 294 lush acres along the Wallkill River above Walden. Occupied by about 15 full-time residents, the facility is one of the three major ashrams – the other two located in India – perpetuating the spiritual work

of the renowned Indian sage Baba Muktananda, who was influential in bringing yogic culture to the Western world in the second half of the 20th century. Dedicated to teaching “the direct experience of divinity through Sanskrit chanting, silent meditation,

study of sacred texts, the offering of service and participation in sacred rituals,� members of the ashram practice the Vedic way of life and the philosophy of Vedanta. At Shanti Mandir, the daily schedule and programs rooted in the yogic tradition run throughout the year. This weekend, on June 20 and 21, the ashram is inviting the public to an International Yoga Day celebration where people new to the tradition and all its intriguing aspects can witness and participate, and be entirely saturated in

the tone and tempo of the yogic way of life. “June 21 was named International Day of Yoga by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, and is supported by the United Nations and countries worldwide. With yoga making its way around the world and into people’s lives on a daily basis, it’s not surprising that a day has been appointed to celebrate it every year,� says Shanti Pezet, a resident who lends her public relations expertise to the communal functioning. “We all contribute what we can to the running of the ashram.� The celebration will be an Open House/

informational/fundraising event in an effort to spread the word and include the greater community in what goes on at Shanti Mandir. Whether or not visitors have ever done “down dog” or sat in satsang or sung kirtan with other chanters, everyone is welcome to join in the scheduled activities. “This event is an opportunity for all to visit, introduce themselves to yoga, meet other people in the local yoga communities, enjoy nature with walking trails and lush forest, learn about the Vedic traditions or discover a place to study and meditate,” says Pezet. On Saturday, the day will begin with a mass ceremony of 108 Surya Namaskars

or Sun Salutations. A yoga sequence that involves a flowing set of movements, the Sun Salutation is a key part of most yoga practices. Many teachers use it as a warmup at the beginning of a class. Serious yoga practitioners see the daily repetition of the 12 poses as a physical way of expressing gratitude to the sun for its life-sustaining warmth. Anyone who wants to join the group in completing all 108 rounds of Surya Namaskar is invited to enroll sponsors who will support them to participate. “People can make a monetary donation and do the 108 themselves, sponsor somebody who is doing it, contribute towards the overall effort of the group or

simply be there to support and be a part of the whole vibe. The funds raised from this event will go towards the charitable works run by Shanti Mandir and the new projects underway at the ashram to facilitate the many programs open to the public all year ‘round,” says Pezet. At 1 p.m. lunch will be offered to all visitors: a scrumptious vegetarian meal of Indian, Western and fusion dishes, many made with fresh ingredients right out of the ashram’s organic garden. Pezet adds that, for a small donation, everyone is welcome at any time to join the residents for meals at the ashram. After lunch there will be an introductory presentation titled “What is Yoga?” for anyone new to the tradition. If you’re a curious newbie, you can learn how yoga might benefit you, whatever your physical and mental needs are. With yoga being recommended by physicians and therapists these days, it has been proven that taking on a daily practice can be effective is helping with stress and anxiety, insomnia, disease in the body and much more. “Master teachers from Australia will conduct this afternoon session and open the topic up to everyone, including all who may be apprehensive or afraid of trying it for the first time,” says Pezet. “Teachers from the Hudson Valley and Australia will gather together on the lawn in the afternoon and each conduct small sessions. All are welcome to try each class; teachers can work together, and students from different studios can enjoy all there that is being offered. It is a wonderful opportunity to have fun with what they do and to discover new ways of incorporating yoga into their lives.” At the end of this

day, teachers will gather together for a question-and-answer session about yoga practice, giving everyone a chance to get their questions answered. On Sunday morning at 9 a.m., visitors can experience Guru Gita, the group chanting of a Hindu scripture, and can continue to explore some of the philosophical aspects of Vedic life with the talk “Eight Limbs of Yoga.” Visitors are welcome to this free program, which will include meditation and kirtan. In honor of Fathers’ Day, the day will conclude with a free picnic lunch at 2 p.m. by the beautiful stream running through the property. As a place of refuge where spiritual disciplines are pursued, an ashram provides a space of peace and renewal. Regularly scheduled meditation, yoga, study and work periods give residents and visitors a structure for deep personal exploration and growth in a balanced way, promoting the rejuvenation of body, mind and spirit. The commitment to charitable works is a part of karma yoga: good works offered for the sake of all. In Walden, the ashram’s charitable works include the financial backing of a woman-empowerment program, Shanti Hastkala, that helps the rural poor in India learn handicraft skills and provides them with work opportunities. Pezet explains that they are taught different crafts at the ashram in Gujarat and produce beautifully stitched clothes, bags, purses, shawls and hand-rolled natural incense. Through this work, they are able to support their families. The ashram also contributes to Shanti Arogya Mandir, a mobile clinic that services the medical needs of the villages around the ashram in Magod free of charge, and helps the impoverished in rural India with eye camps to restore sight to those blinded by cataracts by means of a free medical procedure to implant intraocular lenses. Closer to home, a beautiful new building was finished this year at Shanti Mandir, providing visitors even more comfort and enjoyment in this stunning setting. A gift shop on the ashram premises is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., offering many of the items made at Shanti Hastkala and other works made by carefully selected artisans from the US who have a focus on handmade, natural or recycled products. Nestled just outside Walden on Route 208 and easily accessible from the rail trail, the ashram in our own neighborhood might well be the Hudson Valley’s best-kept secret. – Ann Hutton

Getting fresh Food hubs, community kitchen incubators help small entrepreneurs add value to Hudson Valleygrown produce

H

ave you ever thought about making and selling that special dish or condiment or baked good that everyone you know begs you to make over and over? Do you have what it takes to be a food entrepreneur, autonomous and selfemployed? If you think all you need to do is put on a white jacket and go for it, you’ll be in for some surprises. As Robert Gropper of My Brother Bobby’s Salsa in Poughkeepsie said, “It’s not an easy path with a direct route.” He has found, being in business since 1993, that “about every two months someone calls to see how to get into the business.” One of the first places to check out is the Northeast Center for Food Entrepreneurship at Cornell University. Its website, http://necfe.foodscience.cals. cornell.edu, takes you through some of the process. Also, the New York Small Food Processors’ Association (http://nyssfpa. com) has good guidelines. Click on the Resource C e n t e r. R e a d carefully about the food regulations, permits, food safety and labeling requirements that are necessary and different for each state and sometimes for each county. Stay aware of possible contradictory information; though it is all there, occasionally it can be a slippery slope. Besides a clear concept and your recipes, you need a kitchen. For certain items you can use your regular home kitchen. Call the Agriculture and Markets Food Safety office in Newburgh at (845) 220-2047 and describe what it is you are thinking of producing and find out the basic requirements. If you go to the website for New York State Agriculture and Markets at http://agriculture.ny.gov and do a search for Home Processors, you will find the list of what is allowable. You can make bakery products such as bread, rolls, cookies, cakes, brownies, fudge, double-crusted fruit pies, but no birthday cakes; traditional jams, jellies and marmalades with high-acid/low-pH

fruits; repack/blend commercial dried spices or herbs; popcorn, caramel corn and peanut brittle; candies, except tempered chocolate or melts for molds or drippings. You can only sell these homemade products at farmers’ markets, farms, farmstands, greenmarkets, craft fairs and flea markets, but not directly from your home or website, and only in New York State. If none of those are what you have in mind, you need a commercial kitchen to test and produce your product and a 20-C license, for which you will pay $400 every 2 years. Across the country, culinary incubator kitchens and shared commercial kitchens are popping up to serve the needs of food entrepreneurs. There aren’t any locally, but there is a need. An incubator kitchen is a place that provides a licensed commercial kitchen facility to prepare food products. It can also be a place where someone simply needs a stove to prepare items to sell at a farmers’ market. Or it can be a place that provides business hopefuls a space and full education with kitchen equipment and advice on marketing, branding, sales, distribution, technical assistance, connections, meeting state health regulations and creating a business plan. It’s structured to help a food business from concept to growth. Generally, these kitchens support the early stages of a food business. The facilities are shared and have hourly fees. Most kitchen incubators claim to exist to educate, encourage and nurture food businesses, and are non-profits that have raised money from public and private sources. The fortunes of the incubators are tied in with the member entrepreneurs. Most hold workshops on sourcing, financial management and securing capital. They are a boon to lowand moderate-income entrepreneurs. Generally a $250 deposit is required, and most charge an hourly rate of around $25.

nutrition/eat-kitchen), an entrepreneurial and teaching kitchen about one-and-ahalf hours west at the Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Sullivan County, located at 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty. Maria Grimaldi, the current president of the New York Small Food Processors’ Association, was instrumental in creating this kitchen after the CCE received a grant from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). An older one in Columbia County is Hometown Foods, LLC, located at 362 Eichybush Road in Kinderhook and owned by retired home economics teacher Anna Dawson (www.ourhometownfoods.com). There are others in the planning stages. Philmont, in Columbia County, will have a kitchen incubator soon, according to Sally Baker, the co-founder and executive director of Philmont Beautification, who said, “We are planning to have a commercial kitchen to serve local farmers, chefs, bakers, food-processors and new food businesses, along with programming for children and families.” Elizabeth Ryan at Stone Ridge Orchards hopes to include a commercial community kitchen in the food hub that she is constructing, where, besides food entrepreneurs renting it, she hopes that individuals can make things from items purchased at the orchard, like applesauce, in large quantities for themselves and not for sale. She said, “I also envision its use

Interest in this model has been growing steadily in the Hudson Valley. The summer is a boon for kitchen incubators. Another type of kitchen incubator is based on the Airbnb model that connects food entrepreneurs with owners of underutilized kitchens. The main expense, then, is to reimburse them for any utility and administrative costs. In some locations the rents are subsidized. The workflow needs to be managed to connect with a common dashboard and, in some cases, help with securing licenses. Local business opportunities exist for someone to develop a local food enterprise, source available kitchens for rental or start and administrate an incubator kitchen for food entrepreneurs. Albane Sharrad of Crosstown Sweets, a maker of fine jams and jellies from local fruits since 2011, says that she “started her business in Woodstock with a home processor license. That was pretty simple to do, but working from a home kitchen is restrictive in what you can make and also where you can sell. It’s a good start, but temporary, so access to a commercial kitchen is key as businesses grow.” She is in the process of moving her production to a commercial kitchen in New York City, since there is nothing available locally. “We could definitely use a shared commercial kitchen up there,” she stated in an e-mail. Two kitchens in this general area currently exist: One is the new EaT Kitchen (http://sullivancce.org/food-

as a canning kitchen for people who have small kitchens, or as a catering kitchen.” It’s a do-it-yourself approach with some on-hand technical support. She added, “It could be a place where farm market end-of-day perishables could be made into soup and given to food pantries and soup kitchens.” Ryan can foresee its use as a teaching kitchen as well. John Novi, the longtime owner/chef at the Depuy Canal House in High Falls, is also hoping to turn the kitchen there into a teaching kitchen with classes for local famers and chefs-to-be, and for product development. He has a long relationship with the farms of the area and serves on the Board of the Rondout Valley Growers’ Association. Chef Novi has informed the farmers over the years with suggestions about growing diverse produce. In 1969 he suggested that they grow yellow tomatoes, and now they can’t grow enough. He also fostered the idea to grow fava beans and fennel locally. Beth Linskey, of Beth’s Farm Kitchen, has been making jams for 30 years in Stuyvesant. She too thinks that “we really need to have a shared commercial kitchen in this area so people can make and sell their products.” Linskey added her hope that “more people will make items using local ingredients.” She uses all local fruits and has received grants for her value-added products. She turns local farm fruits into jam. Valueadded means that the physical state

of a raw commodity is transformed; thus value is added. It’s mostly a term that applies to farmers’ products. The Saunderskill Farm in Accord has a 20-C licensed kitchen that owner Dan Schoonmaker says “helps to round out what we can sell.” He has a farmstand store that opened for the season April 1, to sell the Farm’s own value-added cookies, pies, turnovers, prepared foods (eggplant parmesan, mac and cheese), daily soups and sandwiches. So does the Davenport Farm in Stone Ridge, selling value-added products like local and organic breads and baking supplies, cheeses et cetera at its farmstand store. Both cook with their own produce. These kitchens are not available for food entrepreneurs who want to develop a specialty food – nor should they be.

T

he first thing that a food entrepreneur needs to do is assess the market. You need to produce a consistent product with the same quality each time. A standardized recipe is critical to ensure consistency and maintain cost control. Test your recipes and get feedback for the product, and test market at stores. Once you have your recipe(s) set to your satisfaction, you’ll be required to apply for a Scheduled Process to determine several things, including whether it is shelf-stable and for how long. The Northeast Center for Food Entrepreneurship is where you go for that. It will check exactly how you made your product and sometimes correct the process. If you have an item that is always refrigerated, you won’t need the Scheduled Process, so it has been said. You will also need a food safety course and liability insurance, and a business plan, especially if you want to do any fundraising. You might want to consult with the Mid-Hudson Small Business Development Center (http://midhudson.nyssbdc.org) for some advice and counseling. Think too about branding and packaging. Presentation is important. It’s worth it to hire a good graphic and packaging designer. If you are interested in farms and the future of local agriculture and economy, you might want to check out the Farm On! Foundation (http:// farmonfoundation.org). At some point you will need to decide if you are going to continue to make your product yourself or hire a copacker who will make, package and label your product for you according to your recipe and specifications. There are a few in the area: Farm to Table Co-packer in Kingston, Pika’s Farm Table in Lake Katrine and Beth’s Farm Kitchen in Stuyvesant. Doing this will allow you to concentrate your efforts on marketing and sales. It’s what Paul Newman did, and you know that story. If you have a plan to do anything with meat, fish or cheese, there are additional specific regulations. For instance, two local smoked fish purveyors, Lenny Bee’s Productions in Bearsville and Skip Card at Hookline Fish Company in West Hurley, both confirmed the long list of regulations required to run their businesses. The Food and Drug Administration comes by regularly to inspect their facilities,

and each different item for sale has to be sent for a Scheduled Process every two years. The main food safety concern is for salt content and cooking to specific internal temperatures to eliminate listeria. For funding assistance and general advice, you can contact the Hudson Valley AgriBusiness Development Corporation (www.hvadc.org). Noticed on its website is an announcement for two grants from the USDA under the Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP): one that supports the planning and development and expansion of local and regional food business enterprises for $5,000 to $25,000, and another for implementation to expand access to healthy food and support rural economies for $25,000 to $100,000. A quick Internet search brought up loans from the Sam Adams Brewery to “support small business owners pursuing their passion in the food and beverage,

hospitality and craft brewing industries.” You can attend seminars or take crashcourse training. Whole Foods helps to secure low-interest loans. The Local Food Lab (www.localfoodlab.com) offers threeday intensive business courses for food startups for a (hefty) fee of $1,250. The next one is in New York City from July 10 to 12. The Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County (CCEUC) will be holding a class on Food Entrepreneurship at the CCEUC Education Center at 232 Plaza Road in Kingston on June 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon. Elizabeth Keller Sullivan of the Cornell University Food Venture Center in Geneva will speak on food safety and sound manufacturing practices and the Food Venture Center as a resource; John Lukor from New

ties” with the US, from the wedding of Lady Diana and Prince Charles to the photos in my newsfeed of Duchess Kate holding newborn baby Charlotte. But we didn’t always have that relationship, and the turning point came in 1939, when president Franklin Delano Roosevelt invited King George VI to the US. It was the first time that a reigning British monarch had ever set foot on American soil, and hosting them at Roosevelt’s home in Hyde Park was a way to bypass diplomatic formalities. There, Roosevelt presented them with a picnic, complete with hotdogs and beer, instead of a fancy dinner; the relationship warmed; and that shift helped to mobilize US support for Britain during World War II. You and your family can relive this pivotal moment in British/US ties by attending the FDR Royal Hotdog Picnic. The picnic takes place on Saturday, June 20 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at the Hyde Park Station, and is free and open to the public. The Hyde Park Station is located at 34 River Road in Hyde Park.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Of mice and men How Japanese barberry bushes relate to deer ticks and mice

U

h-oh! I was pulling an odd weed here and there in my heath bed and came upon a seedling of Japanese barberry (Berberis thunburgii). Should I start checking myself for deer ticks? Are all the plants in the bed soon to expire? Japanese barberr y is a commonly planted ornamental that was introduced into this country almost 150 years ago. For decades upon decades, it sedately graced landscapes with its boxwoodlike (but not evergreen) leaves, yellow flowers and bright red berries, all set off against a backdrop of dark-brown thorny stems. For some reason, the plant began to spread about 35 years ago. Perhaps it was the increased planting of barberries around homes, along highways and outside shopping malls. Those plants spawned yet more plants as birds ate the berries and spread the seeds. Perhaps it was the surge in deer populations: a response to the creep of suburbia, as well as to the decreased number of humans willing to take to the woods, rifle in hand, to fell a deer. All the while that deer were munching away on our roses, rhododendrons, yews and other landscape plants, they rarely browsed barberry. Okay, so more deer mean more Lyme

disease. Deer blood is what nourishes adult ticks, and as they feed, they reproduce and hitchhike across the landscape on their deer hosts. But the Lyme bacteria actually get into the ticks only after feeding on the blood of small rodents, such as white-footed mice, that are harboring the bacteria. Recent research in Connecticut has shown that barberry also creates a very nice sheltered habitat for mice. To make matters worse, barberry also makes things homey for the deer ticks themselves, mostly by providing humidity. A forest with barberry growing in it hosted 120 Lyme-carrying ticks per acre; without barberry, a mere ten per acre. So much for the threat of Lyme disease in my heath bed. What about the demise of the plants there? Turns out that barberry is also prime habitat for earthworms, which, at first blush, would seem like a good thing. After all, earthworms are a gardener’s friend, right? Maybe. North of where the last glacier descended, the southern extent of which cut into much of northern US, all native earthworms were wiped out. The natives have been very slow to recolonize, but earthworms from Europe and Asia that arrived here in ship hulls and soil, and

A forest with barberry growing in it hosted 120 Lyme-carrying ticks per acre; without barberry, a mere ten per acre.

SHEILA SUND

Japanese barberry (above) is a commonly planted ornamental that was introduced into this country almost 150 years ago. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation recently banned the sale, purchase and transportation of 126 species identified as invasive. Among the prohibited plants are garlic mustard, Japanese barberry, Oriental bittersweet, phragmites, Japanese knotweed, multiflora rose, yellow iris, privet and Japanese stiltgrass. To read more about spreading barberry and its role in Lyme disease, go to “The quite invasion” on our Hudson Valley Almanac Weekly website at: http://bit.ly/1MIUYhG.

as fishing bait, have not been shy. They’ve spread rapidly. Non-native earthworms thrive especially well in the soil beneath barberry bushes. It could be that barberry leaves are more digestible to them; it could be that barberry alters the soil chemistry to their liking. These exotic earthworms are good at gobbling up raw organic matter, as in the leaf litter that blankets our forests – and my heath bed, to which I import leaves. The newcomers can actually gobble up forest litter faster than it is replenished, changing the soil habitat and exposing the soil to erosion. Plants in the heath bed – i.e., plants in the heath family – like that leaf litter; it keeps the soil cool and moist and, as it slowly decomposes, enriches the soil beneath with decomposed organic matter, or humus. There is some evidence that the makeup of our native forests – which include rhododendrons, also in the heath family – is changing due to the work of exotic earthworms. And all this from barberry! I’m not all that worried about ticks or the demise of my heath bed. The bed is small enough and watched closely enough so that all barberries can be ripped out – just like the one that I saw yesterday. My cat keeps mice at bay, and my dogs do likewise for deer. And I import more leaves each year than earthworms, even exotic ones, could gobble up. The extensiveness of wild settings makes barberry control there difficult. Options there are cutting, pulling, fire and/or herbicides. No need for such drama in a home landscape. Here, barberry is easily controlled, if desired, by nothing more than being pulled out or repeatedly cut to the ground. One or a few bushes are not going to impact mouse populations or Lyme hazard significantly. Their greatest

impact would be to make berries that, with the help of birds, would further the spread of this bush. Newer, sterile varieties offer ornamental mounds of greenery that don’t contribute to the plant’s spread. My heath bed, incidentally, has no heath plants. Heaths (Erica spp.) would die in our cold winters. I call my bed a “heath bed” because I grow heath family (Ericaceae) plants in it: rhododendrons, mountain laurels, lingonberries, huckleberries, swamp azalea and some heather (Calluna spp.). I group these plants together because all demand special soil conditions – conditions quite different from those of most cultivated plants. Most heath plants need a soil that is very, very acidic, relatively infertile, wellaerated, consistently moist and rich in organic matter. As mentioned above, these plants thrive where the ground also has a mulch of leaf litter, wood chips or other organic matter: a mulch that disappears too quickly where soils harbor large populations of the non-native earthworms that thrive beneath barberry bushes. Join me for a Drip Irrigation Workshop on Saturday, June 20 from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Learn how drip saves 60 percent in watering, why drip keeps plants healthier and how it saves you time by reducing weeding and being easily automated. This workshop will include a hands-on design and installation of a drip system. The cost is $57. Registration is necessary.

We affectionately call them “bottle babies�. We recently placed three pregnant cats in three wonderful homes. The cats gave birth and when the kittens are weaned (no longer nursing), we will look to find loving homes for the kittens and their mothers. If you are interested in fostering or would like to learn more about fostering, please call (917) 282-2018 or email DRJLPK@AOL.COM.

DEAR BUSINESSMAN/WOMAN- We at Hardscrabble Flea Market & Swap Meet would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each other- We have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers. And, if you have leftover merchandise you’d like to sell- this would be a perfect way to unload it. Please give John a call for more details- (845)758-1170. Spots are $12-$35.

The Ulster County Legislature finds the law, prior to the recently enacted changes, was not used effectively due to poor definitions and courts had thrown out indictments due to these poor definitions. Through the modernization of the statute and clearly defining the terms fireworks, dangerous fireworks and novelty devices, the new law provides law enforcement with an important tool in reducing the use of illegal fireworks and homemade devices and encourages the use of safe and legally regulated novelty devices. The Ulster County Legislature finds the new law allows sparkling devices to be sold and used in municipalities that affirmatively enact a local law authorizing the exclusion “sparkling devices” from the definitions of “fireworks” and “dangerous fireworks”. The Ulster County Legislature finds that allowing residents and visitors the opportunity to use safe “sparkling devices” will benefit them and local businesses. The Ulster County Legislature finds that only those who 18 years of age or older may purchase sparkling devices and that the sparkling devices shall only be sold between June 1st and July 5th and December 26th and January 2nd of each calendar year. The Ulster County Legislature further finds that all distributors, manufacturers, and retailers of sparkling devices must be licensed through the New York State Department of State. SECTION 2. Authorized Sale and Use of Sparkling Devices. 1. Pursuant to section 405 (5) (b) of the New York State Penal Law (Penal Law) and Penal Law section 270 (3)(b)(v) as enacted by Chapter 477 of the Laws of 2014, “sparkling devices” shall be excluded from the definition of “fireworks” and “dangerous fireworks” as those terms are defined by Penal Law sections 270(1)(a)(i) and 270(1)(b) respectively. 2. The sale and use of “sparkling devices”

as defined in Penal Law section 270(1)(a) (vi) which is incorporated hereunder shall be lawful in Ulster County provided such sale and use are not in violation of Sections 156-h and 377 of the Executive Law or any rules and regulations thereunder. 3. “Sparkling Devices” are defined as follows: “Sparkling Devices” which are groundbased or hand-held devices that produce a shower of white, gold, or colored sparks as their primary pyrotechnic effect. Additional effects may include a colored flame, an audible crackling effect, an audible whistle effect, and smoke. These devices do not rise into the air, do not fire inserts or projectiles into the air, and do not explode or produce a report (an audible crackling-type effect is not considered to be a report). Ground-based or hand-held devices that produce a cloud of smoke as their sole pyrotechnic effect are also included in this category. Types of devices in this category include: (1) cylindrical fountain: cylindrical tube containing not more than seventy-five grams of pyrotechnic composition that may be contained in a different shaped exterior such as a square, rectangle, cylinder or other shape but the interior tubes are cylindrical in shape. Upon ignition, a shower of colored sparks, and sometimes a whistling effect or smoke, is produced. This device may be provided with a spike for insertion into the ground (spike fountain), a wood or plastic base for placing on the ground (base fountain), or a wood or cardboard handle to be hand held (handle fountain). When more than one tube is mounted on a common base, total pyrotechnic composition may not exceed two hundred grams, and when tubes are securely attached to a base and the tubes are separated from each other on the base by a distance of at least half an inch (12.7 millimeters), a maximum total weight of five hundred grams of pyrotechnic composition shall be allowed. (2) cone fountain: cardboard or heavy paper cone containing not more than fifty grams of pyrotechnic composition. The effect is the same as that of a cylindrical fountain. When more than one cone is mounted on a common base, total pyrotechnic composition may not exceed two hundred grams, as is outlined in this subparagraph. (3) wooden sparkler/dipped stick: these devices consist of a wood dowel that has been coated with pyrotechnic composition. Upon ignition of the tip of the device, a shower of sparks is produced. Sparklers may contain up to one hundred grams of pyrotechnic composition per item.4) novelties which do not require approval from the United States department of transportation and are not regulated as explosives, provided that they are manufactured and packaged as described below: (A) party popper: small devices with paper or plastic exteriors that are actuated by means of friction (a string or trigger is typically pulled to actuate the device). They frequently resemble champagne bottles or toy pistols in shape. Upon activation, the device expels flame-resistant paper streamers, confetti, or other novelties and produces a small report. Devices may contain not more than sixteen milligrams (0.25 grains) of explosive composition, which is limited to potassium chlorate and red phosphorus. These devices must be packaged in an inner packaging which contains a maximum of seventy-two devices. (B) snapper: small, paper-wrapped devices containing not more than one milligram of silver fulminate coated on small bits of sand or gravel. When dropped, the device explodes, producing a small report. Snappers must be in inner packages not to exceed fifty devices each, and the inner packages must contain sawdust or a similar, impact-absorbing material.
