Neil Scholl (1930-2023) Photography Exhibit
Sunday, May 19, 2024 10:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve
The 60 silver gelatin prints that will be on
display will be co-curated by Caumsett foundation President Janet Barone and
local professor, author Dr. Susan Van Scoy. A digital co-exhibition of Scholl's
work will be curated by artist and photographer David Almeida. Neil saw
Caumsett as a glimpse into the past. Once all of Long Island consisted of
hundreds of acres of fields and he wanted his photos to serve as a reminder of
how Long Island looked before housing and commercial developments. "Scholl spent over a decade photographing at
Caumsett. In that time, his work not only captured the Park's abundant
landscape in all its splendor, but also served to document its changes over
time – such pieces now serving as valuable visual documentation of the Park's history.

Caumsett Foundation Sunset Music Series Presents Nina Et cetera
Friday, May 24, 2024 06:30 PM
Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve
The genesis of the band is to be found in the
fact that Nina began studying guitar and singing at the age of 7 with her
current bass player Tim. That was, 21 years ago. Since then Nina has studied at
Berklee College of Music and has played in numerous bands. Although Tim is
primarily an autodidact he did study North Indian vocal music for a number of
years in New Delhi and managed a few semesters of music theory at Long Island
University. In addition to performing Nina and Tim also teach privately. When they are not on the road they are writing
and recording in a manner that combines the best of old and new technologies.
Nina Et cetera has been performing professionally for the past 10 years in just
about every imaginable venue across the Tri-State area; bars, restaurants,
libraries, street fairs, assisted livings, bandshells, busking, vineyards, etc. SIGN

Caumsett Foundation Sunset Music Series Presents NY Star Harbor Band
Friday, May 31, 2024 06:30 PM
Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve
"From the remnants of their local punk rock scene emerges this 5-piece band from Long Island, NY Star Harbor. Drawing from their individually eclectic musical tastes, the members of Star Harbor have fused elements of indie rock, folk, southern rock, and even the ethereal elements of progressive rock to form a sound as familiar to the ear as it is curious in its conception. " When the band's 4 original members, Mike Mallamo, Thomas Comerford, Jason Rind, and Kenny Grau first came together, they decided that all traditional rules for songwriting were off the table as "fitting within any genre" was not going to be the focal point of the group's sound. Their goal was simply to write songs in a style all their own. Their 1st full length eventually titled "The Sun, The Moon, & The Open Road" was released in February of 2020. With the COVID lockdown thwarting the band's efforts to play live in support of their 1st release, Star Harbor regrouped in 2022 and went back into VUDU STUDIOS to record their follow-up record which was a 3-song E.P. titled, "Constellations". This release saw the band's sound evolve yet again as they took more of a spacey, progressive approach to their songwriting. Star Harbor continues to play original shows as well as cover shows that incorporate their own take on familiar 70's 80's and 90's hits we all love but may have forgotten. SIGN UP:

Caumsett Foundation Sunset Music Series Presents Project 23.6° N
Friday, June 14, 2024 06:30 PM - 09:00 PM
Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve
Project 23.6° N is a new chamber ensemble
dedicated to highlighting the music of Taiwan from past to present. The name
"Project 23.6° N" actually has a twofold meaning: first, it correlates to
the geographical coordinates of Taiwan, but also roughly references the peak
population in the past. The group advocates for Taiwanese music from the past
to present in the world of classical music dominated by Western composers,
aiming to promote the music of Taiwan on an international scale. Founded by three doctoral music students at SUNY
Stony Brook, Pianist Calvin Hu has been invited to perform alongside faculty
from NYC's top music schools, including Juilliard, Manhattan School of Music,
and Stony Brook through the Starry Nights concert and was the recipient of the
Ackerman Award for musical excellence in the graduating 2023 class. Pin-hui
Tsai, the cellist in the ensemble, has worked closely with the esteemed Emerson
Quartet at the String Quartet Institute in the Music Department, and a
fellowship recipient at the Round Top Orchestra Institute, undergoing intensive
orchestral training. An American Prize finalist in flute, Kaichen Cheng, has
been an Outreach Program Artist in the Department of Music and actively engages
in education and programs in the local community. SIGN
