The ensemble features the long-standing rhythm section of the renowned Folklore Urbano Orchestra: Franco Pinna on drum set and Dave Hertzberg on bass. Franco Pinna brings a sensitivity, groove, and unique sound that comes from his highly innovative set-up, combining multi-cultural sounds from a variety of percussion instruments.

Drink & Draw is a modern twist on the classic artistic practice of life drawing. Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome, especially those that have always wanted to try their hand.
In this non-instructional event, we aim to create a relaxing, social and inclusive environment for the community to come together for a fun night of drawing. After some mingling with fellow guests, participants will have an opportunity to capture the human body in poses of different lengths, with breaks for refreshments in between.
There’s wine, crackers, cheese and cookies to enjoy, and our host curates a playlist to keep your energy flowing. The evening lasts about 2 hours, and participants leave with a collection of their new works… and maybe some new friends too.
RiverArts is proud to be able to provide this unique opportunity right here in our Rivertowns, an opportunity which is often only accessible to art students or by traveling into New York City, with a significant investment of time and tuition. Drink & Draw offers a perfect entry-level for the amateur artist, and we have seen beginners improve significantly as their skills develop in subsequent sessions and they draw on their experience and learn from others.

RiverArts will present an immersive experience of poetry and music featuring a reading of TS Eliot’s The Waste Land and performance of Benjamin Britten’s Suite for cello 1, op 72. These two works of art will be brought to life together in an intimate concert setting.
Award-winning narrator/actor Edoardo Ballerini will render the 100-year-old poem while virtuoso cellist Peter Seidenberg interprets the complex passions woven throughout Britten’s solo cello suite. Poetry and music, intertwine, underscore, and respond to one another, deepening our experience of these singular artistic masterpieces. The audience will sit in semi-circle around the artists, creating an immersive experience for both performers and audience.
There will be a conversation with the performers and Dr. Neil Arditi, Professor of English Literature at Sarah Lawrence College, led by RiverArts’ Producer & Artistic Director of Artist Conversations & Theater, Marie-Louise Miller immediately following the performance.

The twentieth century was a time of mass barbarity and extraordinary hope marked by two world wars, the negation and re-generation of civil society and the emergence of a new definition of the individual in art, in society and in politics. Artists like T S Eliot and Benjamin Britten grappled with the starkness and the beauty of their time by creating new forms of expression which shape us to the present day.
The Waste Land, published in 1922, is a melding of literary tradition with the experimentalism of free verse. The poem uses allusion, quotation in several languages, a variety of verse forms and poetic fragments to create a new voice for a culture in crisis. Eliot stated, “Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood.” What he sought, as both a writer and a reader, was “some direct shock of poetic intensity.” For many, The Waste Land is a symphony of shocks which continue to enthrall readers and listeners alike.
“What always surprises people after hearing The Waste Land is how much of a narrative it has. For something so famously rich and complex, it is also wonderfully accessible.” notes Edoardo Ballerini.
Suite for Cello 1, was written in 1964 as one of three suites for solo cello inspired by and dedicated to Britten’s good friend, Mstislav Rostropovich. The men were often separated by the on-going conflicts generated by the Cold War. In his speech on receiving the Aspen Award in 1964, Britten said, “Rostropovich was such a gloriously uninhibited musician, with that enormous feeling of generosity you get from the best Russian players. I immediately realized this was a new way to play the cello, in fact a new vital way of playing music.” The Suite is defined by an emotional range, epic in nature. By turns anguished, reflective, menacing and fervent. The fluid tonality can be incredibly tense. Yet there are also notes of humor and triumph at the end of the piece. “This suite was such an important war protest in 1963. And I cannot think of a more appropriate time to present this poignant plea for peace,” states Peter Seidenberg.

Salon Sundays are inspired by the French salons founded in the 18th century as a means for new and emerging artists to gather and show their works in large numbers. Artists filled the walls, floor to ceiling, exhibiting anything and everything for the public and each other. Salons drew intellectuals, writers, poets, sculptors, painters, printmakers, supporters, and those interested in engaging with the creative community.

Hastings Public LibraryOrr Room, Lower level 7 Maple AvenueHastings-on-Hudson
Admission: $20 per session; Register below. You must register and pay in advance below for each session. No payments will be accepted at the door.
Drink & Draw is a modern twist on the classic artistic practice of life drawing. Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome, especially those that have always wanted to try their hand.

In this non-instructional event, we aim to create a relaxing, social and inclusive environment for the community to come together for a fun night of drawing. After some mingling with fellow guests, participants will have an opportunity to capture the human body in poses of different lengths, with breaks for refreshments in between.
There’s wine, crackers, cheese and cookies to enjoy, and our host curates a playlist to keep your energy flowing. The evening lasts about 2 ½ hours, and participants leave with a collection of their new works… and maybe some new friends too.
RiverArts is proud to be able to provide this unique opportunity right here in our Rivertowns, an opportunity which is often only accessible to art students or by traveling into New York City, with a significant investment of time and tuition. Drink & Draw offers a perfect entry-level for the amateur artist, and we have seen beginners improve significantly as their skills develop in subsequent sessions and they draw on their experience and learn from others.
Model provided. Please bring your own art supplies and arrive on time. Must be over 18 to attend. Wine for those 21+

LINEA RECTA by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa from Ballet Hispanico on Vimeo.

RiverArts welcomes you to join us for a night of Latinx dance celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month and featuring Ballet Hispánico. Premium ticket holders will enjoy the best seats in the house as well as an After-Party where you will enjoy light refreshments and salsa dancing with the dancers from Ballet Hispánico right after the concert.
National Medal of Arts recipient Tina Ramirez founded Ballet Hispánico in 1970, at the height of the post-war civil rights movements. From its inception Ballet Hispánico focused on providing a haven for Black and Brown Latinx youth and families seeking artistic place and cultural sanctuary. By providing the space for Latinx dance and dancers to flourish, Ballet Hispánico uplifted marginalized emerging and working artists, which combined with the training, authenticity of voice, and power of representation, fueled the organization’s roots and trajectory. In 2009, Ballet Hispánico welcomed Eduardo Vilaro as its Artistic Director, ushering in a new era by inserting fresh energy to the company’s founding values and leading Ballet Hispánico into an artistically vibrant future. Today, Ballet Hispánico’s New York City headquarters house a School of Dance and state-of-the-art dance studios for its programs and the arts community. From its grassroots origins as a dance school and community-based performing arts troupe, for fifty years Ballet Hispánico has stood as a catalyst for social change.
Ballet Hispánico provides the physical home and cultural heart for Latinx dance in the United States. Ballet Hispánico has developed a robust public presence across its three main programs: its Company, School of Dance, and Community Arts Partnerships.
Through its exemplary artistry, distinguished training program, and deep-rooted community engagement efforts Ballet Hispánico champions and amplifies underrepresented voices in the field. For fifty years Ballet Hispánico has provided a place of honor for the omitted, overlooked, and oppressed. As it looks to the next fifty years and beyond, Ballet Hispánico seeks to empower, and give agency to, the Latinx experience and those individuals within it.
“both earthy and classically elegant” – New York Times
“smashingly theatrical” – Chicago Sun Times
“a cutting edge crowd pleaser” – Washington Post
“Ballet Hispánico delivers spirited fun.” – The Boston Globe
“Empowering voices the world needs to hear.” – Mackenzie Scott
“One of America’s Cultural Treasures.” – Ford Foundation
Don’t miss this opportunity to see this internationally-renowned dance company perform three of their signature pieces in the heart of the Rivertowns.

Channel your kids’ energy into the arts this summer! SummerArts offers four weeks of multi–arts workshops for children entering grades 3-9. Each week, students take part in a wide variety of artistic activities with daily sessions in visual arts, music and movement/theater, led by teaching artists who are experts in their field.
In between classes kids can play outside, spend time with friends or work on a project at their own pace. Workshops for older students are more intensive and provide an opportunity for more sophisticated exploration and execution.
The SummerArts program is specially designed to provide kids with a deeply creative, artistic experience. Themes and activities vary each week, giving students the chance to explore art in many forms and diverse media. Many campers are introduced to new artistic expressions and media that they never knew they loved! Classes are perfect for beginners as well as more seasoned creators.
