This exhibit will juxtapose Richard’s photorealistic depictions of steam locomotives and industrial machinery with the dramatically hued Hudson Valley and South American landscapes by Sullivan. The exhibit will be on view January 9 – February 24, 2109 with an opening reception on Saturday, January 12th, 5-7pm.

Come see the first show of the new year, open everyday, 11 am – 5pm.

The Community Music Space, located at the Chocolate Factory in Red Hook, is an artistic educational center that provides a voice for music and acting in the Hudson Valley. Its goal is to prepare people for a creative life as well as refining and building skills for professional and aspiring artists.

The Community Music Space is a music school committed to offering a blend of musical and performing arts enrichment. The school offers private lessons, group classes, and workshops for adults and kids, with an experienced, professional, and energized faculty.

The school’s goal is to prepare people to live a musical life, whether that means as a performer, recording artist, actor, or singing with family around the campfire. Groups perform extensively in the community, from festivals to public venues and street fairs, as well as this annual showcase at Helsinki Hudson.

Rachael & Vilray perform the same sort of vintage, mid-20th century jazzy pop familiar to fans of Rachael’s jazzy, soulful pop outfit Lake Street Dive.

Rachael Price and Vilray met at the New England Conservatory of Music in fall 2003 and became friends. Their duo grew from a shared reverence for the pop music of the 1930s and ‘40s and its wide range of emotions. With simple arrangements and only a guitar for accompaniment, they perform original works and revive forgotten gems of the jazz big bands and Western swing ensembles. Their sound recalls both the warmth of radio’s golden age and the intimacy of parlor concerts in a time before recordings.
