Clermont State Historic Site
Since 1987, the Yankee Brass Band has entertained audiences in New England and beyond with historically informed performances of nineteenth-century American brass band music. Using antique brass and percussion instruments from the period, painstakingly restored by their owners, the Yankee Brass Band presents the music of the "Golden Age of Bands" played in much the same manner as in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. To recreate this music, the band pays close attention to the aesthetics, performance practice, and concert attire of an earlier time. For one week each summer, members assemble from across the country to preserve this unique musical legacy through a series of live performances. Please note: All Harmonies on the Hudson concerts are weather permitting. Check out the whole season's concert calendar at friendsofclermont.org/events.

The mission of OneMusic Project is to keep the intimate experience of chamber music alive and vibrant, and to foster a wider and more engaged audience of chamber music enthusiasts. Our core tactic is the production of concerts by a highly select group of internationally distinguished artists from Europe and the USA. The musicians are committed to bringing fresh and unique interpretations through their collaborations. Many of the musicians are composers themselves, carrying on the traditions of another century to the present day. But we believe that celebrating this timeless art takes more than a single performance; it should be an ongoing conversation. To that end, OneMusic Project will present concerts alongside master classes, open-to-public rehearsals, and discussions by cultural thinkers, scholars and artists. We aim to recreate chamber music's original settings, and present a multi-dimensional approach to musical insight that enables our audience to engage with artists and scholars to more deeply appreciate the work. We know that our creative journey will be inspiring to our audience and the artists alike. Click here to register.

An Ebony Hillbillies concert at Saratoga Music Hall (474
Broadway Saratoga Springs, NY 12866) is the final event of NYS Parks,
Recreation and Historic Preservation's Solomon Northup "Hope Out of
Darkness" statue series. African American string bands were an essential part
of daily life throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Its practitioners played
for pleasure, for church, and to relieve the enormous stresses of life on the
plantation. String bands served as an early melting pot for musical and creative
integration of Africans, African Americans and Native Americans, with
influences by Scottish, Irish and other European immigrants.

Based in New York City, 1989 is the ultimate 80s tribute band. The band is comprised of professional musicians who, combined, have played literally thousands of shows coast to coast. 1989's core group is four musicians but, if your budget allows, we have a wide range of other musicians to draw upon to expand the act.Rather than don outlandish costumes, 1989 favors a slick new wave image. Our sound is true to the originals, but we apply a modern sensibility to the songs (similar to what Weezer did on their Teal Album) to make the songs even more accessible to modern audiences. There are so many great 80s tunes and only so many that can be played in one night. Accordingly, we favor creating slightly shorter versions of many tunes so that we can play more of the songs you know by heart during any one show. If you have any favorites you'd like to ensure are performed, we're happy to accommodate. Finally, we're not just an 80s band. Upon client request, we're happy to craft our performance to include pop/rock hits from the 50s through today. We also love to play holiday shows and have a wide range of holiday songs in our repertoire. Click here to register.
