Eliot & Benjamin Britten | An Immersive Dialogue of Poetry and Music DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 26th\, 3 pm145 Palisade Street\, Lobby SuiteDobbs Ferry\, NY 10522 \nTickets: $20/ must be purchased in advance  \n \n Purchase Tickets Here\n \n \n \n \n \n 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.  \nAward-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.  \nThere 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.  \n \n \n \n \n \n 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.  \nThe 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.  \n“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.  \nSuite 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.  \n \n Purchase Tickets Here\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Artist Conversation Series RiverArts creates opportunities to amplify the artistic voice\, bringing insight and delight to our community.

A highlight of this concert will be a performance of Brahm’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor\, Op. 15\, arranged by Brahms for piano duo. After intermission\, Aebersold and Neiweem will take us on a tour Fin de Siècle Paris with works by Carrier\, Stravinsky and Ravel.  They will perform Ravel’s breathtaking Rapsodie Espagnole\, two scenes from Stravinsky’s Petroushka\, and Chabrier’s Bouree Fantesque all arranged by their respective composers for four hands. \n\n\nAt the conclusion of Sunday afternoon’s music\, the Cropsey Foundation will host a gala reception (included in the ticket price). Guests are invited to enjoy the works of Hudson River School painter\, Jasper Cropsey in the gallery. In addition to the permanent collection on display\, the Newington-Cropsey Foundation will have Cropsey’s 1896 painting\, Autumn in the Highlands of the Hudson on view.  This work was painted by Cropsey after he moved to Hastings-on-Hudson in his studio at Ever Rest.  This will be the first time the Foundation has displayed this painting to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\nTickets to the Sunday concert are priced at $100 each.

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. \nNational 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. \nBallet 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. \nThrough 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. \n“both earthy and classically elegant” – New York Times \n“smashingly theatrical” – Chicago Sun Times \n“a cutting edge crowd pleaser” – Washington Post \n“Ballet Hispánico delivers spirited fun.” – The Boston Globe \n“Empowering voices the world needs to hear.” – Mackenzie Scott \n“One of America’s Cultural Treasures.” – Ford Foundation \nDon’t miss this opportunity to see this internationally-renowned dance company perform three of their signature pieces in the heart of the Rivertowns. \n \n Purchase Tickets URL:https://riverarts.org/event/riverarts-presents-ballet-hispanico/ LOCATION:Tarrytown Music Hall\, 13 Main St Floor 2\, Tarrytown\, 10591 CATEGORIES:Dance,In-person ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://riverarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/BalletHispanico_TTMHPoster_LOGOS-copy.png ORGANIZER;CN="RiverArts":MAILTO:info@riverarts.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220924T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220924T200000 DTSTAMP:20260424T051043 CREATED:20220909T041441Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220930T220426Z UID:10713-1664049600-1664049600@riverarts.org SUMMARY:Live at the Upstream | Ursula Hansberry + John Henry DESCRIPTION:Live at the Upstream\nSaturday\, September 248:00pmUpstream Gallery8 Main Street Hastings-on-Hudson\, NY 10706 \n \n Tickets for Performance\n \n \n \n \n \n Presenting singer/songwriters Ursula Hansberry and John Henry. \n \n  URL:https://riverarts.org/event/live-at-the-upstream-sep/ LOCATION:Upstream gallery\, 8 Main Street\, Hastings-on-Hudson\, NY\, 10706 CATEGORIES:In-person,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://riverarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Graphic_Live-at-the-Upstream.png ORGANIZER;CN="RiverArts":MAILTO:info@riverarts.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220908T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220908T220000 DTSTAMP:20260424T051043 CREATED:20220812T151318Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220812T152523Z UID:10549-1662665400-1662674400@riverarts.org SUMMARY:Drink & Draw DESCRIPTION:Drink & Draw \n \n \n \n \n \n Hastings Public LibraryOrr Room\, Lower level 7 Maple AvenueHastings-on-Hudson \nAdmission: $20 per session; Register below. You must register and pay in advance below for each session.
