Stone Song is a site-specific work, located at the rear of the Museum, that was made in conjunction with In the Garden of Sonic Delights, an innovative open-air sound art exhibition organized by Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts. In creating this sculpture, Bhatnagar, a sound artist who works with technology, language, and found materials to create interactive installations, used the dry stone walling technique that echoes the old stone walls used on the farm that once occupied the land where Purchase College is located today. He included sensors and electronics to create sound in his sculpture. This event is free and open to the public. RSVP requested, please call 914.251.6113 or email. |

15th Annual Dobbs Ferry
Summer Music Series [link]
Wednesdays from 6:30pm - 8pm
Estherwood Mansion at The Masters School, Clinton Avenue, Dobbs Ferry
Presented by Jazz Forum Arts, in association with the Village of Dobbs Ferry & The Masters School, and co-sponsored by RiverArts. Due to ongoing construction at Waterfront Park this year, our ten, free Wednesday evening concerts will be held on the lawn in front of the beautiful Estherwood Mansion at The Masters School, Clinton Avenue, Dobbs Ferry, NY. Indoors at Estherwood in event of rain. Estherwood is a late 19th-century mansion located on the campus of The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, New York, United States. It was the home of industrial tycoon James Jenning McComb, who supported Masters financially in its early years when his daughters attended. The house's octagonal library was the first section built. It had been attached to McComb's previous home, but he had felt it deserved a house more in keeping with its style and so had architect Albert Buchman design Estherwood built around it. 10 Free Wed Evening Concerts 6:30-8pm.
August 6: Quarteto Moderno feat. Richard Boukas
August 13: Maucha Adnet & Trio (Brazian Jazz)
August 20: Peter Brainin & Talking Drum

The Two ** Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare.

Shakespeare's take on friendship, young love, constancy and fickleness, this romantic comedy takes us from the courtly world of Verona and Milan to the wildness of the forest where, it seems, anything can happen.
** The Liar by David Ives
Adapted from the comedy by Pierre Corneille. Directed by Russell Treyz
Take one young man who cannot tell the truth, his manservant who cannot tell a lie, add two beautiful young women, a jealous lover and then sit back to enjoy the hilarious consequences in David Ives' brilliantly witty adaptation of this classic comedy.
