Holyoke Wistariahurst Museum: August Events
Sonido 1: In the Garden of Wistariahurst
Thursday August 11, 2016 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm Join us for a summer night concert on our lawn. Bring a blanket, chair, and your friends for this showcase of music and art. Sonido is a curated series of sound and art in Holyoke. Location, style, and tonality as diverse and interesting as the great community of our city. Donkey No No is a trio with guitarist Omeed Goodarzi, violin/electronics goddess Jen Gelineau, and cymbal bower Edward “Ted” Lee. The trio is bent on an improv-only approach to playing, and their previous cassettes have been about as cautiously wrought as junk pile. Their new album, however, possesses a real sense of instant composition, meaning the music aligns in ways that don’t sound purely chance-based. -Byron Coley, 2016

Celebran Día de la Independencia de Colombia La comunidad colombiana, junto a otros residentes de la región de Holyoke, celebró el día de la independencia de Colombia el pasado 20 de julio frente a la alcaldía de esa ciudad. Por segundo año consecutivo un grupo de residentes colombianos de la ciudad organizó el evento en donde no solo se conmemora el día de la independencia colombiana si no también su cultura y su aportación a la ciudad de Holyoke. Además de bailes tradicionales y comida típica, el alcalde de Holyoke, Alex Morse, reconoció a Rafael Restrepo, uno de los pioneros colombianos en establecerse en Holyoke. El comité organizador del evento estuvo compuesto por Andrés Villada, Stefany E. García, y Alejandra Sugrue.
Sarah Louise is a 12-string guitarist based in the mountains of North Carolina. The impulse for a new composition comes frequently from observing the sounds and movements of the woods around her home. Lush and ethereal at times, yet embracing dissonance as well as tonal and time-signature shifts, her music often encompasses a full spectrum of emotions within one piece. All-original tunings, picking patterns and bold transitions mark her as a unique player. Emmalee Hunnicutt explores the subtleties of sound with her inventive cello playing. Classically trained from a young age, she brings an intimate understanding of the cello to her compositions and improvisations. Working in the realms of texture and emotion, her work acknowledges the mysterious nature of art and life. In addition to writing and performing as a solo artist, she is also part of a number of collaborative projects.
