The event will feature an engaging mixture of live theater, dance, music, and arts. Phoenix Festival includes 30 performances and will take place on multiple indoor and outdoor stages in Nyack, New York. 

    Founded in 2004, Phoenix Theatre Ensemble is a nonprofit theatre ensemble producing in New York City and Nyack. Phoenix Festival is aimed at celebrating classical theater, music, local culture, and the creative spirit of the Nyack community. 

    Festival venues include the tented outdoor meadow stage at Marydell Faith and Life Center, the garden at Hopper House, the Nyack Center, the ‘little theater’ at Nyack’s RCC Culinary Arts Center, Maureen’s Jazz Cellar and Nyack’s classic restaurant the Hudson House.

    Craig Smith, executive director, Phoenix Festival

    This year’s performances range from classic theatrical shows like Crime and Punishment and Now I am Alone, to stand-up poetry, and even an augmented reality tour. One of Phoenix Festival’s most innovative and creative performances is Pan and The Lost Boys. The show combines theater and dance to examine Black masculinity through hip-hop. Stemming from the killings of Tamir Rice, George Floyd, etc; Pan looks at the impacts of these events on the health, wellness, and growth of young black men in America.

  • Gregory McLoughlin Drops Uplifting New Single ‘Woody Guthrie’

    Gregory McLoughlin has ended the month of July in an incredible way as he just released his uplifting new track “Woody Guthrie.” The songwriter’s 13th single as a solo artist came paired with an exclusive video premiere on YouTube following his regular Monday Night Livestream.

    McLoughlin is a multitalented artist based in Jersey City whose expertise as a bass player and songwriter makes him a man of many musical occupations. On top of writing and recording his own music as a solo artist and working as a freelance upright and electric bass player around the New York City area, McLoughlin also takes time to write music for other musicians and bands including BuzzUniverse, Julia Kirk, Beeman and Bannon, Ana Oh, Anthony Tamburro, Ross Sandler, and many more. McLoughlin has also been able to spread his love of music through live-streaming, performing virtual concerts every Monday Night at 8:00 PM on his YouTube Live page.

    As fans now know after his latest live stream, McLoughlin’s recent single, named after and inspired by the legendary American Folk artist Woody Guthrie, is not only a dedication to the incredible musical powers that have come before but also declares that even though life is difficult, there is always a new day ahead with a silver lining. The track is a fast-paced, upbeat tune that includes a contagious melody allowing the words to match the instrumentals. Although the folk style and somewhat strange lyrics may not be for everyone, the single is worth a listen and is guaranteed to get even the stingiest critiques tapping their feet and grasping a message “that reflects the sound of Woody Guthrie.”

    Gregory McLoughlin explains, “Woody Guthrie is a song about reconnecting with loved ones, finding your true self through pain and hardship, and realizing that there is such thing as a new day.” The single is now available to stream on YouTube, Spotify, and more!

    Musically, we [The Motet] are a great fit, I feel pushed to perform at the top of my game because I know they are going to bring it every night. Interpersonally, we gel wonderfully and it’s been a true pleasure to get to know them.”

  • Aqueous Will Perform Last Shows at The Great Flamingle II Festival

    Aqueous has announced they will perform their final shows as a band before their hiatus at The Great Flamingle II Festival on the grounds of the Great Blue Heron Festival in Sherman, NY on Aug. 11 and 12.

    The Great Flamingle II

    Aqueous is a Buffalo-based groove band with a loyal following who put on spectacular shows. The band is taking a hiatus from touring after the band’s guitarist and keyboardist, who also does vocals, David Loss, welcomed his child into the world. He wants to spend more time at home raising his child, making the difficult decision to step away from the group.

    Before the band disbands, they will perform at The Great Flamingle II Festival. Featuring two nights of incredible music, camping, and art, host band Aqueous will perform five sets throughout the weekend (including a special day-time set Saturday), and are joined by a carefully curated lineup of some of their favorite national, regional, and local bands.

    The lineup includes Dopapod, TAUK, Flamingosis, Mungion, a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater tribute set led by AQ’s Mike Gantzer, TAND (AQ drummer Rob Houk’s new band), Witty Tarbox, The Pickle Mafia, Damone Jackson’s Outcome and much more. On Aug. 11 and 12, these bands will grace the stage on the grounds of the Great Blue Heron Festival, which just celebrated its 30th anniversary earlier this month.

    This year’s Flamingle is genuinely going to be epic, and I don’t use that term lightly! With the band opting to take a break from touring after the festival in favor of prioritizing Dave’s new role as a father, these shows will represent a joyful celebration of the band and our love for each other and our fans. We’re leaving everything we’ve got on that stage over these two nights, and we’re beyond stoked to expand the festival to two nights at a place so special to us, which gives us every opportunity to deliver on our vision for an amazing fan experience top to bottom. We’re also bringing in some of our closest BAND FRIENDS that we’ve toured with over the years to help us tie a beautiful bow on this chapter of AQ. We urge fans far and wide to come to be a part of what will surely go down as one of the most unforgettable experiences in AQ history…

  • Specialists and Space Carnival Set To Stop At Brooklyn Bowl on August 9

    Specialists and Space Carnival, two New York-based bands, will perform at Brooklyn Bowl on August 9. The show will also feature funk fusion group ShwizZ. Since 2017, the venue has not hosted Space Carnival, while Specialists are scheduled to make their Brooklyn Bowl debut.

    Specialists

    Spanning 23,000 sq. ft. Brooklyn Bowl is one of the most unique and dynamic event spaces in New York. Boasting a bowling alley, music venue, conference space, and much more, the Williamsburg location offers something for everyone. 

     I saw my first show at the Bowl in 2014, when I was just 16… My 16 year old self cannot believe this.

    Specialists’ guitarist Billy

    Specialists are a Brooklyn outfit that expertly blend together elements of rock, dance, and funk to create a fun and playful sound. The group puts together high energy performances that showcase the band’s extraordinary songwriting and musicianship. Specialists have performed all over NYC, including shows at Brooklyn Made and Wonder Bar. The band’s style and groove is the perfect sonic addition to any summer day. 

    Space Carnival

  • Nick Hakim to Perform at Blue Note Jazz Club This November

    Described as a “mini-residency,” Nick Hakim will be playing at Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC for four days in November. Each day will have two shows, an 8:00 p.m. performance and a 10:30 p.m. performance.

    Based in New York, Nick Hakim debuted in 2017 with his album Green Twins, music that resisted classic genre categorization. Last year, Hakim released Cometa, his third studio album, which was widely appraised by critics. Hakim’s songs have also made it to video streaming, as Max’s “Insecure” series used his music.

    Hakim draws on music that he listened to growing up in Washington, D.C. with his older brother and parents who had emigrated from Peru, a combination of American soul with South American political folk.

    Blue Note owns and operates New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club, Sony Hall, and Arthur’s Tavern as well as Washington, D.C.’s The Howard Theatre and several Blue Note Jazz Clubs around the world. Founded in 1981, they are dedicated to showcasing up-and-coming jazz, soul, R&B and funk artists, though jazz remains at its core.

    The club in NYC and its sister institutions have featured visits from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Quincy Jones, Dave Chapelle, and Chris Rock in their long histories.

    Nick Hakim will be playing Nov. 14, 15, 28, and 29, with two shows each day at 8:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.. For more information and for tickets, check out the link here.

  • The Sembrich Receives Grant to Restore Iconic Queen of Night Opera Costume

    The Coby Foundation, one of the leading supporters of the textile art field, has awarded The Sembrich in Bolton Landing a $30,000 grant to aid in the restoration of Marcella Sembrich’s iconic Queen of the Night couture opera costume.

    Marcella Sembrich’s Queen of the Night Gown (Front) – Photograph by Bill Hubert (2015).

    Experience music, history, and nature at The Sembrich in Bolton Landing, featuring museum exhibitions and an annual summer festival with an exciting mix of world-class musicians, noted musical scholars, and a free film series. Listed on the National Historic Register, The Sembrich was once the teaching studio of Polish soprano Marcella Sembrich, one of the most famous musicians at the turn of the 20th century. Visitors can discover her storied legacy, which includes over 400 performances at the Metropolitan Opera and faculty positions at both the Juilliard Graduate School and the Curtis Institute of Music.

    The gown was first seen at the Metropolitan Opera in 1900 when Sembrich performed in the company’s debut production of Mozart’s operatic masterpiece Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute). The costume, now over 120 years old, is slated as the centerpiece for The Sembrich’s 2024 Centennial Exhibition.

    Sembrich’s Queen of the Night was created by Berlin designer Bertha Pechstein. According to Metropolitan Opera Costume Designer Judy Levin, the embroidered metallic stars on the gown allude to an 1816 Berlin production of The Magic Flute, the designs for which were inspired by images from Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign. The spangled gown was mentioned in several newspaper articles as one of the most ornate and expensive costumes of the time, with suggestions that it cost upwards of $1,000 to design and create, equal to approximately $35,800 in today’s dollars. The Colby Foundation will give The Sembrich $30,000 to restore the costume.

    The Sembrich’s costume collection contains several complete opera costumes worn by Sembrich during her 40-year operatic career. Robert Tuggle, the former Director of Archives at the Metropolitan Opera, considered The Sembrich’s costume collection as “perhaps the finest surviving example of the grandeur of opera in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.”

    We are so grateful to the Coby Foundation for their generosity and support of this important project. The Queen of the Night gown is arguably one of the most notable and most recognizable textile works in The Sembrich Collection. The Coby Foundation’s generous gift is instrumental in moving this project forward and preserving this unique piece of fashion and theatrical history for future generations.

    Lisa H. Hall, President of The Sembrich’s Board of Directors

    The Coby Foundation, located in New York City, funds projects in the textile and needle arts field. Established in 1994 by Irene Zambelli Silverman in honor of her mother, Irene Meladakis Zambelli, it began its grantmaking in 2002, awarding more than $5 million to over 170 projects.

    The restoration will cost approximately $75,000 and will be completed by Spicer Art Conservation, an upstate New York-based art conservation firm. The project will be overseen by the firm’s full-time principal conservator Gwen Spicer, who has over 25 years of experience in conserving historically significant textile works. Spicer has assisted many museums, institutions, and private collectors with the treatment of artifacts and antiquities for both display and storage.
