Cooperstown Summer Music Festival Returns with Five August and September Concerts

Written By Editor on 7/5/21 | 7/5/21

The Cooperstown Summer Music Festival returns for its 23rd season with five concerts in August and September, bringing live chamber music back to the Cooperstown area after a pandemic hiatus during the summer of 2020.

Attending a concert will carry new meaning this summer, after a year of social isolation prevented artists from connecting with audiences in the concert hall. Music lovers of all stripes should take note of CSMF’s exciting concert lineup, which promises to be one of the best ways to celebrate the return of the performing arts to the stage.

The Festival will open in joyous fashion with the CSMF Musical Kaleidoscope, a free outdoor performance at the Fenimore Art Museum Lawn on Tuesday, August 10 at 7pm (rain date: August 17). The Caroga Arts Ensemble, led by cellist Kyle Price, will perform a dynamic program ranging from bluegrass and classical to jazz and pop in a performance that is intended as a gift to the Cooperstown community. The performance, sponsored by NBT Bank, is free but ticket reservations are required.

“CSMF is thrilled to be partnering with the Caroga Arts Ensemble for our return to the stage,” says Festival Founder and Artistic Director Linda Chesis. “We wanted our first concert to be a gift to the community so that everyone can experience the joy of live music after such a difficult year.”

On Sunday, August 15 at 7pm, the much-acclaimed Imani Winds will perform a program of music for wind quintet at the Otesaga Resort Hotel. The GRAMMY-nominated ensemble is famous for their innovative programming and dynamic performances, and Cooperstown audiences can expect a concert filled with their signature fresh energy and technical expertise.

The Verona Quartet returns to the Festival on Sunday, August 22 at 4pm at the Farmers’ Museum. This multi-award-winning quartet, veterans of the Festival and a CSMF audience favorite, will perform a program of works by Shostakovich and Dvorak’s beloved “American” Quartet.

The festival then takes a detour to South America with a performance by the Brazilian jazz supergroup Trio da Paz, whom NPR describes as the “cream of expatriate Brazilian musicians in the US”, on Monday, August 30 at 7pm at the Otesaga Resort Hotel.

Lastly, the festival will conclude with a duo performance by the violinist Danbi Um and guitarist Jiji on Sunday, September 19 at 4pm at the Otesaga Resort Hotel. These young virtuosos will join forces for a genre-spanning program including works by Corelli, Paganini, Piazzolla and Ella Fitzgerald.

For all events, venues will be at limited capacity and masking and social distancing protocols will be in place.

Chesis says that this season’s artists are all so eager to be returning to the stage and are looking forward to bringing their craft to Cooperstown. “After such a long period of isolation, we can’t wait to safely bring the community together to once again connect through music.”

Live performances:

"The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)"

Cooperstown, New York – Fenimore Art Museum’s Glimmer Globe Theatre is thrilled to announce a return to live theatre this summer with "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)" by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield. This relentless farce combines all 37 of the bards plays (and sonnets!) into 100 minutes. Three madcap actors in tights weave their wicked way through every comedy, history, and tragedy in one wild ride that will leave you breathless with laughter. An irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's career, “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)” was London's longest-running comedy. Our new production will star Michael Henrici, Danielle Henrici, and Jason Francey and is set against the backdrop of beautiful Otsego Lake at the Museum’s Lucy B. Hamilton Amphitheater. Performances take place on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and select Fridays in July and August at 7:00 pm (July 14-August 18).

This is a production that appeals to everyone - lovers and “not-lovers” of Shakespeare alike. It’s also an incredible way to introduce children and teens to the Bard.

Advance tickets are available through Eventbrite.com at https://shakespeareabridged.eventbrite.com. Tickets: $15 Adults (13-64; $13.50 Seniors (65+) and Members; $10 Youth (7-12); Free ages six and under (please select the free ticket option for children six and under when using Eventbrite). Performance details and protocols will be sent in an email to ticket-holders prior to your arrival. Find the rain date policy on our website. Visitors are welcome to bring blankets and chairs to sit on during the performance.

Limited spaces for socially distanced seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Masks will not be required for fully vaccinated individuals. You can find the museums’ current COVID safety policies at FenimoreArt.org/safety.

“Shakespeare Abridged” was the show that launched Glimmer Globe Theatre nearly a decade ago, and it means the world to us to return to this play at such a hopeful and challenging time for theatre companies worldwide.

Additionally, Glimmer Globe Theatre is excited to present a brand-new Shakespeare Revue. This collaborative performance will present a selection of monologues and scenes from across the Bard’s body of work, and will allow more of our local community to join us in bringing back live Shakespeare this season. The Glimmer Globe Theatre Shakespeare Revue will take place in early September.

If you have any questions about the performances, please contact m.tamburrino@fenimoreart.org.

ABOUT THE FILM:

Retired hairdresser Pat Pitsenbarger (Udo Kier) has given up on life from the confines of his small-town Sandusky, Ohio nursing home. But when Pat gets word that a former client's dying wish was for Pat to style her final hairdo, he sets out on an epic journey across Sandusky to confront the ghosts of his past--and collect the beauty supplies necessary for the job. SWAN SONG is a comical and bittersweet journey about rediscovering oneself, and looking gorgeous while doing so.

Welcome to the Cobleskill Herald

Written By Editor on 7/3/21 | 7/3/21

Over the last five years, the Mountain Eagle, founded in 1982 by Donald Conover, has expanded to a variety of new areas, including Windham, Margaretville, Cairo, and more. Part of the reason for the consistent growth has been a dedication to offering a large amount of news-- local news, not fluff or national stories-- for just $1 per week.

This model has worked well, with the paper adding in a new section each year as readers from around the area turn toward our full color, full-court coverage. Each week, we’re committed to the most possible news from a Schoharie County perspective, with our headquarters in Schoharie and focus on all 16 towns.

Part of the reason we’re launching this new sister section of our newspaper is to fill a widening gap in local news coverage. You’ve seen it. You’ve noticed it, in particular over the last two years.

That is why we’ve collected a number of talented writers to offer the most Schoharie County coverage of any newspaper each and every week, plus another twenty pages (or more) of the surrounding area.

This has worked time and time again as we challenge the powers that be and build up local business and community events. Our team is fresh, experienced, and full of energy.

Please give us a shot, especially as our paper grows and currently is neck and neck for largest circulation of a Schoharie County weekly. We plan on growing with you each and every week.

Please send us any and all ideas to 518-763-6854 or

cobleskillherald@gmail.com and look for us on newsstands each Friday.
