SUMMARY:Artist Conversation: Cross Pollination
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 2\, 20253–5pm \nTed & Nune Studio45 Main StreetHastings on Hudson\, NY 10706 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join us for an engaging afternoon as we meet for a moderated discussion with the five artists behind Collective Art Space (CAS). \nCAS is an experiment in the benefits of pooling together artistic resources and inviting others in. Over the last decade Alison Mara\, Jen Moore Smith\, Alison Cimmet\, Marisa Gonzales Silverstein\, and Raine Gifford have enjoyed working alongside each other within their shared studio space in Dobbs Ferry. The long-term exposure to one another’s work has revealed threads of influence in each artist’s choices and inspirations\, even as each individual’s practice remains unique and intact. \n\n \nThe studio is like a living entity\, fed by and sustaining its members\, and somehow more than the sum of its parts. Cross Pollination was first explored as an exhibit at the Donald Gallery and now as an Artist Conversation with RiverArts\, we invite you to explore the creative ecosystem and why artmaking within community may be the best thing an artist can do for themselves and their work.\n \n \n \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n\nAlison Cimmet draws upon collage and painting techniques to create expressive mixed-media works full of texture and vibrant color.\n \nRaine Gifford‘s acrylic and watercolor paintings and mosaics investigate patterns of light\, color\, and negative space found within nature.\n \nMarisa Gonzales Silverstein crafts paper sculptures combining geometry and repetition in rhythmic patterns to reveal a contemplative understanding of significant data points.\n\nAlison Mara employs the use of tiny glass beads\, meditatively and painstakingly placed\, to create swirling patterns reflecting designs and textures found in nature. \nJen Moore Smith‘s practice encompasses painting and assemblage to reflect on the power of memory as it shapes landscape and natural elements. \n\n			\n				Purchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Chamber Music Concert: Double Cello Quintets of Schubert and Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 9 4–6pmAndrus on Hudson185 Old BroadwayHastings on Hudson\, NY 10706 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				  \n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join us for an afternoon performance of two exceptional Chamber Music masterpieces: The Double Cello Quintets of Schubert and Brahms. \nOn Sunday\, March 9 at 4:00 PM\, at Andrus on Hudson\, 185 Old Broadway\, Hastings-on-Hudson\,  RiverArts will present two glorious Chamber Music masterpieces- Double Cello Quintets of Schubert and Brahms. The Double Cello Quintets\, scored for two violins\, viola\, and two cellos\, provide a rich\, fuller sound than traditional string quartets. The Brahms is the same piece we heard in November as the Piano Quintet in f minor\, its more familiar scoring. But Brahms; first version of the piece was as a double cello quintet\, recently completed by Terry King. This concert will be a rare opportunity to hear the piece as Brahms first conceived it\, as well as Schubert’s astounding masterpiece scored for the same group of instruments. \nRiverArts’ Chamber Music Series under the artistic direction of cellist Peter Seidenberg has developed a reputation for its varied programming of 19th and 20th century touchstones of the chamber music repertory\, alongside contemporary compositions including several commissions\, performed by a varied roster of extraordinary musicians. For this concert he will be joined by violinists Laura Bossert and Fritz Gearhart\, violist Sarah Adams\, and cellist Elizabeth Anderson. \nAbout the ArtistsLaura Bossert [violin] was a Silver Medalist in the Henryk Szeryng International Violin Competition. She has earned recognition for her artistry as a soloist\, chamber musician\, and pedagogue\, is on the faculty of Wellesley College\, the Longy School of Music\, and in the summer months\, The Quartet Program and LyricaFest. Ms. Bossert has appeared in collaboration with Elmar Oliveira\, Joseph Silverstein\, Paul Neubauer\, Kim Kashkashian\, and with ensembles such as the Muir and Lark String Quartets\, Amelia\, Raphael and Mirecourt Piano Trios. She has toured as a jazz violinist with David Amram and Chuck Mangione\, and is a frequent guest artist\, with The Cello Chix. \nFritz Gearhart [violin] has performed for audiences from coast to coast.

He is heard frequently on National Public Radio\, including live broadcasts on WFMT Chicago\, WQXR in New York\, KQAC in Portland Oregon\,  as well as Public Radio’s nationally syndicated program Performance Today. A sampling from the press: “…a sizzling performance…”(The Wall Street Journal)\,  “…supple and imaginative…”(The New York Times)\, “…a superlative evening of musicmaking…”(New York Concert Review)\, and “Gearhart is a bold assertive player…”(Strad). Gearhart taught at the university level for most of his career\, including appointments at University of Colorado Boulder\, University of Oregon\, East Carolina University and Indiana University at South Bend. In addition to his many performing and teaching activities\, Gearhart has also appeared as a guest conductor at several string festivals around the country\, \nSarah Adams [viola] performs widely in the New York area with ensembles including the New York Chamber Ensemble\, American Ballet Theatre\, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra\, the American Symphony Orchestra\, and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. She is principal violist of the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the Riverside Symphony and the violist of the Roerich Quartet. Ms. Adams has been teaching viola and chamber music at Columbia University since 1993. \nElizabeth Anderson [cello] has performed in major concert venues of the world in China\, Japan\, Australia\, Italy\, Germany\, Finland\, Mexico and the US.

He was a founding member of the critically acclaimed Elements Quartet which created groundbreaking commissioning projects involving over 30 composers.
