Description
GustavMahler is considered one of the last of the Romantic composers and, as a result, he had a large influence on the development of twentieth-century music. Mahler’s music was in fact greatly admired by major composers such as Benjamin Britten, Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill and others.
What do Weill, Korngold and Mahler have in common? All of them spent a period of their live in the United States. they were Austro-German Jews and were able to incorporate different music genres into their scores from German Romanticism to Broadway to jazz.
Kurt Weill wrote several works for the theatre stage and a number of works on Jewish themes. He became a United States citizen on August 27, 1943. Kurt Weill’s music continues to be performed both in popular and classical contexts.
Erich Wolfgang Korngold was a child prodigy, talented German opera composer, and celebrated throughout Hollywood for his film scores. Gustav Mahler, upon meeting the young Erich Korngold, called him a “musical genius.”
“Music must be like the world,” remarked Mahler to Sibelius. “It must embrace everything.” Vienna Atmosphere: Mahler, Weill, Korngold presents an unusual and original combination of musical instruments (Gil Goldstein, composer / arranger / accordionist, Tom Manuel, trumpetist, composer, director of the Jazz Loft, Laura Metcalf , cellist, artistic director of GatherNYC and Paolo Bartolani, pianist, artistic director of Rites of Spring Music Festival) with a program of Viennese composers who combined American musical style and folk / cabaret European songs to celebrate the new world era.

Spend the morning with master gardener Christine Killorin and learn how you can turn your yard into a haven for bees, butterflies, and birds. These pollinators play a critical role in our ecosystem, but their numbers are in steep decline due to loss of habitat. Learn how to replace non-native plants, or a section of your lawn, with native plants that will provide pollinators food and shelter. Tour gardens at Hallockville illustrate two approaches – a woodland garden, and a full sun border. You will take home a native plant that will get you started!

The program will begin with an illustrated talk and discussion in the Hudson-Sydlowski House about the Polish families that landed in the Hallockville neighborhood in the late 19th and early 20th century. The Hudson-Sydlowski House was home to a Polish immigrant family from the 1920s through the 1970s. The walk – approximately one-third of a mile round trip – will visit museum buildings that tell the stories of the Polish immigrant Trubisz, Naugles, and Cichanowicz families. We will welcome any stories or photos related to the Polish immigrant experience on the East End that participants bring to share.

Hallockville Museum Farm Fleece & Fiber Festival features fiber artisans sharing handmade and authentic works for sale, shearing demonstrations, exceptional four-legged guests, special fiber-focused tours of the Hallock Homestead, and more!
Hallockville’s architecture spans the period from 1765 – 1938. The tour will take a moment to step back in history and consider what rural families experienced in building their homes, barns, and other structures. The Hallock Homestead and its outbuildings brought living and working on a traditional farm to life; The workrooms, laundry rooms, outhouse, and smoking shed were all a part of that experience.
Today, our administrative offices reside in an 1838 home and the newest farmhouse is the Cichanowicz House which dates from the early 1900s. The Naugles Barn was built in 1938. Walking along Sound Avenue gives us a chance to see the variety of buildings and appreciate the authenticity of the Hallockville Museum Farm.
