SUMMARY:RiverArts Annual Chamber Music Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:RiverArts Annual Chamber Music Fundraiser\n			\n				Tickets for Event\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sunday November 21st1:00–3:00pm The Newington-Cropsey Foundation25 Cropsey Lane\, Hastings-on-Hudson\, NY 10706Tickets: $100* \nRiverArts Chamber Music Series begins with our annual fundraiser event\, generously hosted the Newington-Cropsey Foundation on Sunday November 21 at 1pm. All tickets to this event must be purchased in advance. There will be no ticket sales at the door and the box office will close Saturday\, November 20th\, at noon. \nProgram Update: Attendees will get a sneak peak at RiverArts’ commissioned Chamber version of Strauss’ Four Last Songs.  This is the first time the arrangement will be performed in public and is not to miss! \nThe concert will feature Arnold Schönberg’s late romantic masterpiece\, Verklärte Nacht [1899] in its original version for string sextet. A reading of Richard Dehmel’s poem\, Verklårte Nacht which inspired Schönberg’s composition will precede the musical performance. This is a rare opportunity to hear the composition in its original sextet form as it is more commonly heard in Schönberg’s expanded version for string orchestra.  \nAlso on the program will be Richard Strauss’ Piano Quartet [1886]. Written at the very beginning of what was to become an indomitable career as a composer and conductor\, Richard Strauss poured his youthful spirit into this passionate\, exuberant piece. It remarkably foreshadows all the drama of his greatest operas\, Rosenkavalier and Salome\, in a chamber music setting.   \nThe Newington-Cropsey Foundation graciously hosts this annual fundraiser concert in the beautiful setting of their gallery in Hastings-on-Hudson. A reception with light refreshments will follow the concert. \nArtistic Director for Chamber Music\, Peter Seidenberg Chamber Music Producer\, Doug Coe  \nPerformers include: Ling Ling Huang\, April Johnson and Sylvia Volpe\, violin; Chi Chi Lin Bestmann and Kathryn Lockwood\, viola; Peter Seidenberg and Alan Weinstein\, cello; Tomoko Uchino\, piano; Anton Rist\, clarinet; Allison Charney\, soprano; Edoardo Ballerini\, reader  \nTicket is 50% tax deductible.*Proof of vaccination and masks are required to attend this event \n			\n				Tickets for Event\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About the Artists  \nLing Ling Huang [violin] started violin at the age of 4 with her mother Lilan Z.

SUMMARY:Artist Conversation with Malcolm D. MacDougall III
DESCRIPTION:Artist Conversation | Malcolm D. MacDougall III\n			\n				Register for Event\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sunday\, October 17thRiver Front Hangar west of 145 Palisade Street 3:00-4:30 pmIn-person: $15 \nIn our ongoing effort to connect local artists with art lovers we are proud to present our next RiverArts Artist Conversation with sculptor\, Malcolm D. MacDougall III live and in-person at his studio on the Dobbs Ferry waterfront on Sunday October 17th at 3pm.  \n“We are thrilled to have another wonderful opportunity to gather this great community of art appreciators together to learn about this incredible local artist’s perspectives and process\,” said Artist Conversation Producer\, Marie-Louise Miller.  \nMacDougall’s work transcends the physical. Led by the desire to capture the potential for movement in the objects around us and influenced by the world as seen through the lens of the microscope\, Macdougall creates sculpture which leads the imagination to touch the sublime.  \nMacdougall has seen two large scale works on display in NY City: “Conflicts of Growth” at Spring & Varrick in 2013 and “Microscopic Landscape” at Union Square Park in 2012. Said of his 2013 piece\, Microscopic Landscape\, It “is about potential energy and pushing a stagnant object as close to perceived movement as possible.”   \n“The sculpture serves as a snapshot of the ongoing activity in the neighborhood; it is a static object that maintains the constant anticipation of movement\, just as the grounds of Union Square provide the framework for the energetic flow of people and commerce.”  City Atlas: New York \n\nLocally\, his sculptures\, “Outcrops of Bacterial Growth” and “Eternal Conflicts of Growth” were displayed in Wagner Park and Kinally Cove of Hastings-on-Hudson respectively.   \n“We are inviting a limited audience to come to Malcolm’s studio and participate in a wide-ranging conversation with the artist about the motivation and inspiration for choosing materials\, his process for transforming objects into works of art\, and what he looks forward to at this stage of his creative life\,” says RiverArts’ Artistic Director\, Kate Ashby. To support the safe appreciation of art\, the live audience will be limited to 40.  We will also be recording this event and will offer this after the fact for $5.    \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FOR MORE INFORMATION EMAIL: info@riverarts.org \n			\n				Register for Event
