SUMMARY:Rebellious Birds: A Lovey-Dovey Opera Concert Where The Soprano Doesn't Die!
DESCRIPTION:Love is a rebellious bird\, and so are we! Gluten Free Opera is delighted to present some of our favorite operatic love scenes in an accessible way for all people of all ages! \nFeaturing Lena Haleem (mezzo-soprano)\, Sophia Mortensen (mezzo-soprano)\, Kate Theis (soprano)\, Yasmine Swanson (soprano)\, and Kathryn Olander (pianist). \n  \nGluten Free Opera (working name) is the brainchild of Lena Haleem and Sophia Mortensen\, two mezzo-sopranos with a passion for universal accessibility to opera. We are starting our company with a season of Deconstructing the Diva. In our Halloween Spectaculathon\, Valentines concert\, and Spring concert\, we will present unpretentious\, down-to-earth (literally) scenes and arias. We believe that\, while not everyone has to love opera as much as we do\, opera should be approachable and familiar for everyone\, so that everyone can make that decision themselves. We can’t wait to share our love for this art with you\, and someday present fully-staged operas in their entirety!

SUMMARY:David Gilmore’s New Decade Birthday Celebration
DESCRIPTION:ShapeShifter Plus & B Sides Present: \nDavid Gilmore’s New Decade Birthday Celebration\nperforming the Music of Earth\, Wind & Fire. \n6 PM – 7:30PM\nDrinks\, Hang\, and Open Jam Session hosted by Tessa Souter\n\n8PM\nCelebration Show – the Music of Earth\, Wind & Fire\nDavid Gilmore…..\n8 PM Birthday Celebration with \nDavid Gilmore (Guitar/Vocals) \nLenny Underwood (Piano/Keys \nBilly Grant (Bass/Vocals) \n\nGene Lake (Drums/Vocals) \nMartinez Little (Vocals) \nDon Hanson (Saxes) \nKirk Brown (Trumpet & Trombone) \n*** and many special surprise guests! \n\nDavid can’t think of a better way to celebrate a major decade-shifting birthday than to enter it with his friends and family\, playing and singing the music of Earth\, Wind & Fire – one of his all-time favorite bands. They are known to the general public for many of their hit songs throughout the 70’s to the 90’s and to the present-day\, but they are also admired and revered as being one of the most talented and musical groups that also happened to have some pop hits! Their music is a huge part of the musical fabric that made up David’s early life\, well before he picked up the guitar\, along with James Brown\, The Jackson Five\, P-Funk\, Pleasure\, The Temptations\, and on and on. \nTheir music was powerful\, and their messages of Spirituality\, Love\, and Gratitude were too rare when much of the R&B/ Funk world sang about dancing and romancing and ‘gettin’ down’. \nMore on David Gilmore\nGuitarist David Gilmore has performed and recorded with many of today’s most influential artists\, including Wayne Shorter\, Steve Coleman\, Christian McBride\, Dave Douglas\, Rudresh Mahanthappa\, Randy Brecker\, Lenny White\, Stanley Clarke\, Sam Rivers\, and many others. \nHis latest release\, From Here to Here (2020 Criss Cross Records)\, is his sixth album as a leader\, and he has appeared on over 80 recordings as a leader or co-leader. Gilmore’s playing has been compared to guitarists as diverse as George Benson and Jimi Hendrix. He has received numerous grants\, including two Chamber Music of America – New Jazz Works Composer Grants\, and was nominated for the prestigious Doris Duke Artist Award. Committed to an improvisational approach that reflects a global awareness\, he conducts master classes worldwide and is a Professor at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston.

SUMMARY:Soundbox
DESCRIPTION:At Soundbox\, we play to read! \nSoundbox is a pre-literacy playgroup focused on phonemes\, the individual parts of spoken words. For example\, the word “cat” can be separated into 3 phonemes. \nA step up in learning to read is learning to listen. \nIn each play session\, friends open a Soundbox and explore the “minis” inside to discover a sound pattern! A miniature apple\, a tiny alligator\, a very small astronaut\, an itty bitty axe\, and mini alpaca all begin with the same sound! \nWe play with our minis and learn more about our new sound through activities and games that are both super fun and researched based. We learn how to break words into sound parts\, practice sound order\, discover sound patterns\, and map sounds to letters. These skills are foundational for emerging readers. With each Soundbox they open\, our friends take one more step on their journey towards reading! \nCome play with us! \n** Currently this is NOT a drop-off play group. Adults stay to play. There is no charge for this 4-round session. This session is designed for children who are 4 to 5 years old. There are LOTS of small parts. Not suitable for kids under 4. Adult supervision required at all times. \nDates\nTuesday. February 6\nTuesday\, February 13\n*Thursday\, February 22\nTuesday\, February 27\nTuesday\, March 5 \nTimes\n12:00pm – 1:15pm \nLocation\nShapeShifter Lab\n837 Union Street\nGround Floor\, Open Cafe

SUMMARY:The Tristan Geary Trio
DESCRIPTION:Tristan Geary – piano\nMark Venuto – bass\nJonathan Collazo – drums\nStraddling jazz and improvised music\, the Tristan Geary Trio presents music in equal parts original pieces\, raucous and restrained\, and improvised eclecticism\, joyous and spontaneous. Featuring stellar Hudson Valley musicians Mark Venuto (bass) and Jonathan Collazo (drums) the core trio is led by Tristan Geary (piano)\, whose music\, well rooted in the jazz tradition\, is as experimental as it is swinging. Informed by both their study of jazz and orchestral and ensemble composition\, the trio’s capacity for genre-bending creations and collaboration continue to light a fire underneath it\, pursuing a meandering\, storytelling sound\, while never sacrificing on groove\, blues\, and interplay. \nThe trio has performed extensively in the Hudson Valley region and in New York City. Geary. Born in London\, UK\, Geary is based in both the U.S. and Europe\, and graduated from Bard College in 2020 with a degree in jazz performance and composition.

SUMMARY:Soundbox
DESCRIPTION:At Soundbox\, we play to read! \nSoundbox is a pre-literacy playgroup focused on phonemes\, the individual parts of spoken words. For example\, the word “cat” can be separated into 3 phonemes. \nA step up in learning to read is learning to listen. \nIn each play session\, friends open a Soundbox and explore the “minis” inside to discover a sound pattern! A miniature apple\, a tiny alligator\, a very small astronaut\, an itty bitty axe\, and mini alpaca all begin with the same sound! \nWe play with our minis and learn more about our new sound through activities and games that are both super fun and researched based. We learn how to break words into sound parts\, practice sound order\, discover sound patterns\, and map sounds to letters. These skills are foundational for emerging readers. With each Soundbox they open\, our friends take one more step on their journey towards reading! \nCome play with us! \n** Currently this is NOT a drop-off play group. Adults stay to play. There is no charge for this 4-round session. This session is designed for children who are 4 to 5 years old. There are LOTS of small parts. Not suitable for kids under 4. Adult supervision required at all times. \nDates\nTuesday. February 6\nTuesday\, February 13\n*Thursday\, February 22\nTuesday\, February 27\nTuesday\, March 5 \nTimes\n12:00pm – 1:15pm \nLocation\nShapeShifter Lab\n837 Union Street\nGround Floor\, Open Cafe

SUMMARY:Soundbox
DESCRIPTION:At Soundbox\, we play to read! \nSoundbox is a pre-literacy playgroup focused on phonemes\, the individual parts of spoken words. For example\, the word “cat” can be separated into 3 phonemes. \nA step up in learning to read is learning to listen. \nIn each play session\, friends open a Soundbox and explore the “minis” inside to discover a sound pattern! A miniature apple\, a tiny alligator\, a very small astronaut\, an itty bitty axe\, and mini alpaca all begin with the same sound! \nWe play with our minis and learn more about our new sound through activities and games that are both super fun and researched based. We learn how to break words into sound parts\, practice sound order\, discover sound patterns\, and map sounds to letters. These skills are foundational for emerging readers. With each Soundbox they open\, our friends take one more step on their journey towards reading! \nCome play with us! \n** Currently this is NOT a drop-off play group. Adults stay to play. There is no charge for this 4-round session. This session is designed for children who are 4 to 5 years old. There are LOTS of small parts. Not suitable for kids under 4. Adult supervision required at all times. \nDates\nTuesday. February 6\nTuesday\, February 13\n*Thursday\, February 22\nTuesday\, February 27\nTuesday\, March 5 \nTimes\n12:00pm – 1:15pm \nLocation\nShapeShifter Lab\n837 Union Street\nGround Floor\, Open Cafe
