Clermont State Historic Site
Meet at the Visitor Center, Free. Join us at Clermont State Historic Site for a guided landscape tour. On this tour we will look back through generations of the Livingston family and explore how their role as landowners shaped the land and local communities. From the questionable land purchases from Indigenous tribes to enslaved men and tenant farmers tilling the soil, to the Livingston's own gentleman farmers, the relationship with the land and those who worked it changed many times over the past 300 years. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes. In the event of severe weather this tour will be postponed.

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.

Free For Sova — the stage name of New York-based pianist/composer Sophia Subbayya Vastek — the piano has always been home. A second-generation pianist, she holds a deep reverence for her collective history, coupled with an exploratory ear, and moves quietly between musical worlds. Over the years, her intuitive playing style — rooted in tenderness, improvisation, and classical training — has evolved into a dynamic, cinematic sound. Described as performing with "passion and profound tenderness" (Second Inversion) and "serene strokes and lyrical beauty" (Brooklyn Rail), her music is quietly devastating, blossoming into ambient-inspired soundscapes that range from whisper-soft echoes to expressive cascades. Please note: All Harmonies on the Hudson concerts are weather permitting. Check out the whole season's concert calendar at friendsofclermont.org/events.
