Letters to the Editor I just want to congratulate you on your most recent CANVAS that I got in the mail and all of your other editions.

I am so gratified to read it and one of the things that is so special about the paper If I may, is that you not only list events but with many of the events you give great backgrounds - you write such great articles to “fill it all in”.

I am thinking especially about the article you wrote about the [Chris] Farlekas, [Steve] Margoshes and [Julie] Ziavras event [April 2023 issue], and of my dear friend, Sandra Graff, the fact you included her

memorial poetry reading...all of these things - I want you to know that you have the most comprehensive roundup of local events and you are covering such a large region.

I could go on!

I am congratulating you on your excellent work and your excellent publication. You are amazing. Thank you for providing such a resource. I mark everything that I want to go to and then attend all of these events.

I appreciate your efforts and your publication very much.

- Sandra Kissam

“Resilience”in Livingston Manor Resilience is a onehour documentary that delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the birth of a new movement to treat and prevent Toxic Stress.

Now understood to be one of the leading causes of everything from heart disease and cancer to substance abuse and depression, extremely stressful experiences in childhood can alter brain development and have lifelong effects on health and behavior.

Resilience: The Biology of Street and the Science of Hope chronicles the promising beginnings of a national movement to prevent childhood trauma, treat Toxic Stress, and greatly improve the health of future generations.

“When I started hearing about the emerging science of adversity and childhood stress, my mind was blown. High “doses” of stress during childhood get into our bodies, change

Who knew that if your parents got a divorce when you were growing up, you have a significantly higher risk of heart disease? Or that if your mother had a drinking problem, your own risk for depression in adulthood is much higher? The science of Toxic Stress and the major findings that came out of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study should be common knowledge public health information. But the movement is still in its infancy,” stated director, James Redford.

Righteous Brothers in Sugar Loaf Blue-eyed soul pioneers The Righteous Brothers are back with the string of number-one classics that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield topped the charts with for four decades.

Hatfield and Medley had contrasting vocal ranges, which helped them create a distinctive sound as a duet. Medley sang the low parts with his bass-baritone voice, with Hatfield taking the higherregister vocals with his tenor. His voice reached the register of a countertenor.

Their most active recording period was in the 1960s and ‘70s, and, after several years inactive as a duo, Hatfield and Medley reunited in 1981 and continued to perform until Hatfield’s untimely death in 2003.

The Righteous Brothers now comprises Medley and Bucky Heard. Medley explained that it was a difficult choice to continue without Hatfield, saying “I’ve had a million fans hollering at me to keep the Righteous Brothers alive...I looked at a couple of guys, but you know, you can’t replace Bobby Hatfield, he’s the best in the world.”

Medley was previously acquainted with Heard and watched him perform at a tribute concert to Journey, after which

he realized that Heard was the only one he would consider capable of filling Hatfield’s shoes, also noting that he and Heard had good chemistry together.

Medley approached Heard a few days later and discussed the matter, which ended in a coin toss that Medley won, resulting in Heard accepting Medley’s proposal.

Heard has since communicated that he knows he can never replace Hatfield, nor will he attempt to do so and that he intends to sing like Hatfield rather than sound like him.

The “new” Righteous Brothers will perform at the Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center, 231 Creamery Pond Road, Chester, on May 18, at 8:00pm.

prizes will be awarded to exhibiting members. This year’s judge is highly respected local artist, Ward Lamb.

Show co-chairs are Jill Weltman and Denise Shelby Isseks.

The organization continues that tradition and throughout the year sponsors demonstrations and lectures which promote the study of the arts.

Even though the name “Middletown Art Group” seems to give the impression of exclusiveness to Middletown residents, that is not the case as members reside in other parts of Orange County as well as Sullivan, Ulster, Dutchess, Sussex, and

“Zoe Comes Home” at the Tusten

“It’s a story about mothers and daughters. It’s about an aging woman artist who has been discounted, discarded, and overlooked. It asks how the opinion of one critic who deems her work “garbage” can alter and affect not just the artist but those closest to her. It celebrates the courage to create with belief in your vision, against the haunting demons of doubt, that can only thrive through the healing power of love.” - Laurie A. Guzda, director of Zoe Comes Home.

Playwright Melissa Bell writes plays that explore women’s agency as they navigate their power and repression.

Co-writer on NACL’s Courage, she is a playwright and ensemble member with Farm Arts Collective (FAC).

Jess Beveridge, in the role of Zoe, has created roles with FAC and NACL Theatre, such as Tavern at the Edge of the World, Dream on the Farm, and Courage. She has also performed with Cornerstone Theatre Arts in Goshen, in Orwell in America and other plays.

Susan Mendoza plays Gloria, an artist suffering from depression.

Susan is a founding member of the comedy troupe Up & Coming/Comedy Tribe, appeared in Narrowsburg’s Deep Water Literary Festival ’22, and is a voiceover artist for animation, TV and radio.

R. Scott Porter, another member of Up & Coming/Comedy Tribe, plays cousin Fred. A graduate of Pacific Northwest College of Art, where he studied sculpture and printmaking, he can be seen locally in his recurring role as Captain Lava with the Lava/Narrowsburg Volunteer Fire Departments.

May I Have A Word With You

Quips, Quotes & Quiddities by Carol Pozefsky

Missing Mary Ann Madden For more than 30 years, Madden was the judge and jury of New York Magazine’s hilarious wordplay competitions.

Competitors were once asked to provide answers and questions using one letter alterations: A. Bubonic Plaque. Q. What was the leading destroyer of teeth in the Middle Ages?

A. Alternate side of the street barking.

Q. Why did the puppy cross the road?

A. The Roman umpire. Q. What caused the decline and fall of Italian baseball?

A. I am master of my fate, I am captain of my shul. Q. How does an Israeli chaplain identify himself?

Fun at the Opthalmologist’s Waiting Room?

First of all, did you know there were two L’s in the word ophthalmologist? I didn’t until I asked Siri just now why she red-penciled my spelling. You didn’t know and you don’t care? Now, now be nice...

Going to my eye doctor is great fun.

Instead of a bowl of Hersey kisses at the long receptionist’s counter, there are books authored by Dr. O’s patients. I always arrive early for my appointment and make a beeline for the books by collaborators Henry Beard and Christopher Cerf.

Beard is the founder of The National Lampoon and Cerf, a frequent Lampoon contributor but probably best known for the hundreds of songs he’s written for Sesame Street.

We are drowning in deceptive, camouflaged words and phrases. In their book, Spin-glish, Beard and Cerf expose the perpetrators and snap us out of our euphemistic La La Land.

No joke, these are for real: A grocery clerk is a “scanning professional”; a cemetery, “a garden of remembrance”.

A dogcatcher has become a “canine control officer”, incontinence is given the initials O.A.B., “overactive bladder syndrome.”

Lining-of-hog-belly soup is “pepper pot”, a migrant worker is a “seasonal employee”, and, we have a winner folks: cow manure is now “dairy nutrients”!

Vet Rep Theater: “Bad Jews”

Veterans Repertory Theater (VetRep) continues its 2023 staged reading series at its popular 16-seat Parlor, which exists to bring professional theater to Orange County for low cost and accessible performances. Located in an 1890’s-era house in Cornwall, the Parlor is used to select and assess actors for its Veteran-authored plays currently in development.

May sees Jenn Haltman (Mile Square Theater, New York Theater Workshop, Joe’s Pub) direct Joshua Harmon’s biting and dark comedy about family and faith: Bad Jews.

Jenn Haltman The play premiered Off-Broadway at the Roundabout Theatre Company in 2012.

After a beloved grandfather dies in New York, leaving a treasured piece of religious jewelry that he succeeded in hiding even from the Nazis during the Holocaust, cousins fight over not only the family heirloom, but their “religious faith, cultural assimilation, and even the validity of each other’s romances.” Harmon had the idea for the play “after attending a service in which

grandchildren of Holocaust survivors were invited to speak.”

Haltman is a NY-based director, casting director, and producer. Her weekly ballet class is the highlight of her week. She is also an avid (gluten-free) baker with a penchant for reality TV. Joshua Harmon is the recipient of two Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Play and two Outer Critics Circle Awards for Joshua Harmon Outstanding Off-Broadway Play.

VetRep Artistic Director, Christopher Paul Meyer says, “We’re incredibly grateful and excited to bring such accomplished directors to play with us at the Parlor this year. We’ve been fortunate in our friends, and having such dedicated folks come up to Cornwall to help us establish a world-class theater is really a privilege.”

VetRep is located at 16 Quaker Avenue, Cornwall, and the play will be performed Saturdays in May at 7:00pm.

Tickets are on a “pay-what-you-can” scale and can be purchased by visiting www.vetrep.org.

Opportunity for Everyone The Liberty Museum & Arts Center invites artists, musicians and others to participate in a June 2023 exhibition entitled, Reflections on Father.

What does FATHER mean to you?

Does it immediately bring up a favorite song? Do you picture a fond memory of being together? A place that he loved?

A painful relationship? A sense of loss?

What does it mean to you, personally?

Fun you had growing up? Did he take you fishing? To the ball game?

The artwork will be on display at the

Museum in June as well as a concert of father-themed songs and a roundtable panel where people can share their memories about their fathers. Fathersto-be are welcome.

Artists, makers, writers, musicians and the public may apply. Indicate what your medium is and the nature of the proposal.

Send your ideas and photos to the show curator, Naomi Frumess at nfrumessfnp396@gmail.com or call her at 845-807-6656.

Trio Confero Perform Rarely Heard Classics for A Free Concert in Montgomery Aleksander Vezuli, Artistic Director and Manager of the Grand Montgomery Chamber Music series (GMCM) has announced that the Trio Confero will conclude the GMCM’s 35th year of presenting free classical music concerts.

“Confero” is a Latin verb that means to bring together, unite and contribute, and this is precisely what Trio Confero’s mission statement was set to be in 2018 when three musicians united in one pursuit to bring together the unjustly rarely performed repertoire for clarinet, cello and piano. This is, arguably, one of the most beautiful chamber music combinations with singularly magnificent works written by such giants as Brahms, Beethoven, Bruch, Faure and Glinka.

The Trio is comprised of three exceptionally talented musicians who are alumni of Juilliard and Yale.

Maksim Shtrykov has been hailed by the Lucid Culture for “clarity that’s viscerally breathtaking” and “effortless... quicksilver legato.” As the recipient of the Artists International New York Debut Award, he presented his solo debut recital at Carnegie Hall in April 2007.

Anita Balázs has been giving concerts as soloist with conductors such as Andras Ligeti and Tamás Gál while

regularly appearing at “Les Pianos Folies du Touquet.” Balázs’ numerous prizes and awards include First Prize at the Antal Friss National Cello Competition and János Starker National Cello Competition in Hungary to name just a few.

Misuzu Tanaka was born in the U.K. where she began her piano lessons. She then continued her studies in Japan and in the U.S. with Martin Canin. Her Masters and Doctoral degrees are from the University of Michigan where she was a full scholarship recipient.

The GMCM program includes Beethoven’s Trio in B-flat major, Op.11: “Gassenhauer” (a colloquial archaic German word originally meaning lively pieces of dance music), Carl Frühling’s Trio in A minor, Op. 40, Brahms’ Trio in A minor Op.114, and Nino Rota’s Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano.

The key of B-flat major was probably chosen by Beethoven to facilitate fast passages in the B-flat clarinet, which had not yet benefited from the development

of modern key systems.

Brahms’ trio incorporates a considerable amount of arpeggio patterns in its theme, complemented by conversation-like passages in the upper register of the cello.

Carl Frühling (1868-1937) was born in what was then known as Lemberg, the capital city of the province of Galicia, a part of the Austrian Habsburg empire (what is known today as Lviv, Ukraine).

For many years he enjoyed a career as an accompanist to some of the most important instrumental soloists and vocalists then performing, including such stars as Pablo Sarasate, Bronislav Huberman and Leo Slezak. Sadly, he died in Vienna in poverty.

Giovanni (Nino) Rota Rinaldi (19111979) was a renowned child prodigy.

His first oratorio was written at age 11, his three-act lyrical comedy after Hans Christian Andersen, Il Principe Porcaro, was composed when he was just 13.

Both were published in the 1920s.

A composer, pianist, conductor and

academic, Rota is best known for his 150+ film scores, notably for the films of Federico Fellini and Luchino Visconti.

He also composed Beethoven the music for two of Franco Zeffirelli’s Shakespeare films, and for the first two films of Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather trilogy, earning the Academy Award for Frühling Best Original Score for The Godfather Part II. He composed ten operas, five ballets and dozens of orchestral, choral and chamber works.

Brahms The concert is on the Garrett Concert Stage in the Montgomery Senior Center, 36 Bridge Street, Montgomery, on May 7, at 3:00pm.

Free admission.

Meanwhile, Queen Hobnail wants Prince Shubert to choose a suitable princess, but he would rather play video games than dance with a girl.

“Three of a Kind” in Newburgh

“The Princess”, J. Roch

“Family Portrait”, J. Lindell “Secretary w/ Blue Gown” Kahng

In Three of a Kind, Holland Tunnel Gallery has brought together Gemma Kahng, Julie Lindell and Jacques Roch in an exhibit that addresses human and animal forms while discussing the complicated nature of beauty. While at first glance the works may seem very different, there is a connection amongst them that lead the viewer on a search of the unexpected and a dialogue of the relationship between works.

Kahng may be best known for her work as a fashion designer. Her paintings in this show are bold, bright birds and animals that continue her interest in innate beauty and ornamentation. She is the founder of the Beekman Arts Club that started in Hopewell Junction and is now located in Newburgh.

Lindell, an installation artist based in 24

Delaware & Hudson CANVAS

May 2023

Newburgh, stated, “The pieces for this show are also about physical beauty, but question both the value of that moniker and who gets to determine it.” Her work has been shown in the U.S. and Japan.

Roch began painting human figures again in the 60’s, although they appeared as semi-abstract signs and caricatural characters that popped from the painterly ground like knots of light or ghost-like figures concretizing space. A long time contributor to exhibitions at Holland Tunnel Gallery, the works on view are part of his estate and Paulien Lethen is honored to be able to share these works with the public.

Three of a Kind is on view at Holland Tunnel Gallery, 46 Chambers Street, Newburgh, through June 4.

Newburgh Chamber Music: Are You In Four Jazz?

Led by Newburgh native and bassist Jesse Breheney, the In Four Jazz collective, which can be heard performing in venues across the greater New York City region, will perform a Mother’s Day concert in Newburgh.

Jesse Breheney is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and the Juilliard pre-college division where he studied jazz and orchestral music. He has been based in NYC since 2008. With a musical style that is deeply rooted in the swinging tradition of artists like Oscar Peterson, Miles Davis and Frank Sinatra, his music brings life to the American songbook and other jazz classics.

Through the In Four Jazz collective and as a performer, he has been a key player in many ongoing music series in NYC. Vocalist and songwriter Gabrielle Stravelli blends musical traditions with a modern, genre-bending sensibility.

The rhythmic swing of jazz frames her original compositions while as an actor and storyteller she reinterprets the American songbook as well as works by contemporary artists as varied as Willie Nelson, Chick Corea and John Fogerty.

A Boston native, pianist Michael Kanan established a reputation in New York as a vocal accompanist. In 1996, he

joined the band of legendary singer Jimmy Scott, and in 2001, he became the accompanist and arranger for celebrated vocalist Jane Jesse Breheney Monheit. With her group, he has toured all over the world, recorded several CDs and DVDs, and made many TV appearances.

Legendary drummer and bandleader Billy Mintz, who at 15 was developing his musicianship with show bands at Catskills resorts, has performed for many years as part of numerous ensembles both in New York and Los Angeles. In recent years he has taken on new roles as composer and bandleader. He leads the Billy Mintz Band and the Two Bass Band, a ten-piece ensemble that features his compositions and arrangements. As a soloist, he has performed throughout the U.S. and internationally.

The lively and nostalgic concert will feature selections such as In My Mother’s Eyes by Abel Baer and L. Wolfe Gilbert, Our Love is Here to Stay by George & Ira Gershwin, and Irving Berlin’s I’m

Even without formal training, engaging in art as personal expression brings nourishment to the soul. Creating art helps one to discover and retain an inner harmony, boots self-esteem and provides a sense of satisfaction and competence.

The process itself is inherently healing.

In her book and upcoming lecture, Judith Campanaro (photo) will address the healing power of art, and explore simple exercises to help you connect with yourself even if you only have a few minutes a day to devote to the quest.

Creative Magic - The Healing Power of Art is on May 25 at 1:00pm at the Town of Newburgh Recreation Department Alice Desmond Center for Community Enrichment, 6 Albany Post Road, Newburgh.

Meet Bob Grawi, The Gravikord, and The Gravikord Duo Meet Our Advertisers Bob Grawi is a poet, inventor, musician and visual artist.

“Many of my poems are about painting, art, and music. They are mostly written in the first person, culled from my real life experiences as a multi-faceted artist. I write in accessible language, not in overly dense poetic syntax, often with a subtle sense of humor, too. There’s already over 500 pages of work to choose from. These already exist in a comfortable everyday voice and in a continuity of style suitable for everyone.”

The program will blend history, visuals and a selection of world music (from Ireland, Africa, Eastern Europe and American folk), and original “new upbeat folk chamber jazz!”

What is a Gravikord?

The Gravikord is a 24-string electric double harp based on the West African kora and the mbira, invented by Bob in 1984. It is made of welded stainless steel tubing, with 24 nylon strings but no resonating gourd or skin. Grawi originally desired an instrument on which he could play polyrhythms more easily than on the guitar, and he refined the Gravikord’s design over several years to meet this goal. In 2018, the instrument was added to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s (MOMA) permanent musical instrument collection.

Wallkill River Center for the Arts: 15 Years of Art & Community

Unleash Your Inner Artist: 15 Years at the Wallkill River School, will be the featured exhibit at the Wallkill River Center for the Arts (WRCA).

The exhibit will take a look back at and celebrate WRCA’s 15 years as an important and vibrant not-for-profit arts organization in the mid-Hudson Valley.

In curating the exhibit of photographs, artifacts, and articles throughout the history of the organization, current Executive Director, Sarah Fortner Pierson comments, “It is so interesting to revisit the early days. I’ve learned a lot about the history of the Wallkill River School that I didn’t know.”

Pierson, who was brought on in February of 2018 as successor to founding director, Shawn Dell Joyce, continues, “Our research underlines how dynamic the organization has always been. In its founding years the programs connected deeply and were very responsive to the needs of the community.”

With the change of the name to “Wallkill River Center for the Arts,” WRCA looks forward to expanding reach and programming in the region, with the conviction that it has a firm foundation upon which to grow.

In conjunction with the historical

retrospective, a second gallery will feature the exhibit BEGINNINGS: Works by Founding Artists. Artists who were involved in the earliest years have been invited to show more recent works. Pierson says, “Art isn’t static.

It is constantly evolving and changing.

We have invited our founding artists to illustrate that.”

At press time, artists exhibiting in Beginnings include William Noonan, Carrie Jacobsen, Clayton Buchanan, Dennis Fanton, George Hayes, Janet Campbell, Laura Martinez Bianco, Leslie Waxtel, Mary Evelyn (M.E.) Whitehill, Mary Mugele Sealfon, Michael Piotrowski, Nancy Reed Jones, Ginirose Sivilli, Marilyn Vanderpool and Shawn Dell Joyce.

Support the Arts: “Hudson Valley Gives” - A Little Bit Here, A Little Bit There!

Hudson Valley Gives is a one day event celebrating charitable giving across the Hudson Valley. The purpose of this day is to create a solid focal point of fundraising for over a hundred nonprofits from Orange, Ulster, Dutchess, Sullivan, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester Counties. “Thanks to many sponsors, in-kind and cash prizes are awarded to participating organizations encouraging donors to give generously on May 17 to help their favorite cause raise more money,” said Elizabeth Rowley, President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan.

Editor’s note: For those of you who are not in a position to donate large amounts to multiple organizations, one way in which to strengthen money coffers is by giving a small amount to as many organizations as you can.

For instance, if your budget dictates that you can donate only $200 for the arts, you can pick 10 organizations and give $20 to each. Or visit 10 organizations and give $50 each if your budget allows for $500.

Any amount helps. For those with smaller budgets, if 1,000 people give $5 or $10 to 10 groups it results in $5,000 or $10,000 per nonprofit. A budget of $500

A Trip to Italy

will increase that considerably.

The fund also welcomes donations May 1-31, BUT many of the arts organizations are competing for “incentive” prizes in various categories given for donations received specifically on May 17.

At press time, Orange & Sullivan Arts & Culture organizations include: Chris Farlekas Legacy Fund: Your donation will help this fund reach its goal to continue the work of beloved Times Herald-Record columnist and arts supporter, Chris Farlekas (1929-2015).

Besides enabling the arts to thrive via his thousands of articles and reviews, Farlekas was involved with veterans, domestic abuse victims, hunger, homelessness, and was an iconic mentor to thousands of students.

Wallkill River Center for the Arts: The Wallkill Center for the Arts is a non-profit artists’ cooperative that runs an art school and fine art gallery, a summer arts camp for children, plein air workshops, festivals, the Arthur Patchett Music Series and other arts events.

The Center hopes donators can visit on May 17 due to the incentive programs.

Hurleyville Arts Centre: A multi-arts hub dedicated to unifying communities and inspiring social

awareness through the power and magic of dance, film, music, and fine art. Led by an inter-generational and interracial staff, audiences and artists of all races, genders, generations, and physical abilities are welcome.

Nesin Cultural Arts: NCA provides programs in music (choral, instrumental, vocal, small and large ensembles, composition), dance, visual arts and theatre for children and supports the Sullivan County Chamber Orchestra.

Newburgh Chorale: “Although any donation will be gratefully accepted, donors are encouraged to make their donations online on May 17, so we can take advantage of any available incentives,” said Artistic Director Michael Saunders.

New Rose Theatre Group: Walden’s New Rose Theatre Group is a group of dedicated parents wanting to help support the performing arts and efforts of the Walden’s Hudson Valley Conservatory.

Music For Humanity: To date, MfH has given over $150,000 in music scholarships.
