Together\, they’ll perform compositions from her newly released album\, showcasing Halvorson’s unique approach to composition that seamlessly blends structured arrangements with moments of thrilling improvisation. \nThe guitarist and composer has been described as “a singular talent” (Lloyd Sachs\, JazzTimes)\, ”NYC’s least-predictable improviser” (Howard Mandel\, City Arts)\, “one of the most original jazz guitarists of our time” (Peter Margasak\, Bandcamp Daily)\, and “one of today’s most formidable bandleaders” (Francis Davis\, Village Voice). In recent Downbeat Critics Polls Halvorson has been celebrated as guitarist\, rising star jazz artist\, and rising star composer of the year\, and in 2019 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. \nThe De la Luz Soundstage\, with its intimate atmosphere and exceptional acoustics\, provides the perfect setting for audiences to experience Halvorson’s intricate musical tapestries up close. Listeners can expect to be transported through a range of sonic landscapes—from delicate\, lyrical passages reminiscent of contemporary classical music to explosive\, free-form explorations that highlight the ensemble’s remarkable chemistry and technical prowess. This rare performance represents an opportunity to witness one of today’s most original musical voices and her exceptional band at the height of their creative powers.

SUMMARY:Skye Consort & Emma Björling
DESCRIPTION:“Lots of groups combine elements of music from Scandinavia\, Ireland\, Scotland\, England\, and French Canada. None of them do it like Skye Consort.” ~ The Berkshire Edge \nRecipients of the prestigious Opus Award for 2019 Album of the Year with their debut (World music and Traditional Québec music)\, Skye Consort & Emma Björling perform trans-Atlantic chamber folk arrangements of songs and tunes from Sweden\, Norway\, Ireland\, Scotland\, England\, Québec\, Acadia\, the USA\, as well as original compositions. Each musician brings their own individual interpretation to these traditions to create an extraordinary collaboration\, consisting of voices\, fiddle\, nyckelharpa\, cello\, bouzouki\, banjo\, and percussion. Together they produce an assortment of whirling polskas\, moving reels\, passionate love songs\, and breathtaking hymns and songs. \nThe release of their second album\, Ode & Ballade\, released in 2024 has sent them touring the globe once again across North America and Scandinavia\, selling out venues and making new friends and fans wherever they go. This acclaimed album comprises stories of medieval saints and sacred wells\, fair maidens outsmarting presumptuous knights\, beautiful or boisterous drinking songs\, thieves meeting their fate\, heartbreaking love songs\, and groovy dance tunes. CBC Music\, Robert Rowat gave this advice: “If you’re lucky enough to have a cottage to escape to when the warm weather hits\, take this album with you.” And Leslie Barcza wrote: “I think it speaks for itself\, the musicianship\, the powerful invocation of times gone by. The whole CD is magical like that\, sometimes in Swedish sometimes French\, sometimes English.”

SUMMARY:Dustbowl Revival -  Lush Sonic Layers\, Gorgeous Vocal Harmonies\, and Infectious Tunes
DESCRIPTION:How do you describe genre-defying roots music adventurers Dustbowl Revival? Even tireless founder and lead songwriter Z. Lupetin would agree you have to come to a show to find out. Going strong into their second decade after starting from a humble Craigslist ad posted in bohemian Venice Beach\, some would say Dustbowl’s ever-evolving collective (there have been nearly thirty members!) plays a spicy cocktail of folky-funk or booty-shaking jangly rock n’ soul: expertly mixing their New Orleans-tinted brass section with their signature Laurel Canyon harmonies and fearless lyrics. \nWhile most bands stay in one lane or fade away quickly\, Dustbowl Revival is a testament to building a fanbase and their own sound the old-fashioned way\, with hard work and moving songs that stick to your bones when you leave the concert. There’s a reason they continue to get written up in Rolling Stone and Billboard and get played on AAA radio 16 years after they set sail. \nAfter releasing seven acclaimed albums starting in 2008\, including their beloved live record With A Lampshade On (2015) recorded mostly at their LA homebase the famed Troubadour\, and their charting self-titled record (2017) produced by Grammy-winner Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly\, Old Crow Medicine Show)\, perhaps their magnum opus is 2020’s deeply personal Is It You\, Is It Me – produced by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive\, Josh Ritter). It showcases their penchant for orchestral brass and intricate string work with politically-charged story-songs that unfold like mini-movies. It’s not surprising that Z. Lupetin was an award-winning playwright and screenwriter before music took the reins. “Get Rid Of You”\, an ode to the courageous kids in Parkland\, FL who stood up to demand common-sense control laws be passed is a heart-wrenching staple of each show.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Blooms - Lora Barrett at Wistariahurst Museum
DESCRIPTION:During the month of September Wistariahurst Museum’s great hall will be filled with florals as we welcome in “Blooms”\, an art exhibit by painter Lora Barrett. This exhibit will feature 99 vibrant paintings of flowers of varying sizes. An avid gardener\, Lora Barrett maintains her gardens as a reference and muse for her highly colored paintings\, pushing the vibrancy of the flowers to the limit. Wistariahurst Museum will be hosting a solo show of 99 of her floral paintings from September 2-25\, 2025.  \nBarrett’s artistic journey began with a childhood marked by curiosity and a passion for art. This passion was fueled by supportive parents and teachers. She carried her passion for the arts into her adulthood as she majored in Art at The College of Our Lady of the Elms and began teaching Art in Holyoke upon graduation. While teaching in Holyoke\, she continued her studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, where she earned a Doctorate in Education and later taught Art Education at the University. Barrett has received several awards throughout her life for her artwork and for her work in arts education. She has continued her education at Cape Cod School of Art\, the Chatham Creative Arts Center\, the En Plein Air Art School in France\, and Snow Farm\, among others.  \nBarrett’s work has been shown in several galleries across the region\, and Wistariahurst is excited to have her work in our halls once more. Her paintings are in personal collections in France\, Canada\, Mexico\, Italy\, England\, and Ireland and in the permanent collection of the United States Federal Reserve in Washington\, DC.  \nThe opening reception of  “Blooms” will be held Tuesday\, September 2 from 4:30-7:00pm. Open Gallery Hours will be held on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30pm-6:30pm) through September 25th\, which will also be free and open to the public. The exhibit will also be on view during Wistariahurst’s Sunday Fundays and other public events through September 25th. Barrett will be hosting some events corresponding with her exhibit at Wistariahurst. Saturday\, September 6th from 10:00am-1:00pm will be Painting in the Garden with Lora Barrett. Paint in the Wisty Gardens with Lora\, or just come to watch as she demonstrates her craft. Some easels will be provided\, but artists should bring their own art supplies. There will also be an artists talk on Tuesday\, September 9th\, 5:30- 6:30pm where Lora will discuss the making of Blooms. We hope that you stop by and explore Lora Barrett’s Blooms.  \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:NCC Hydra Cross
DESCRIPTION:NCC Hydra Cross is one of New England’s premier\, early season cyclocross races. Cyclocross is a great way for people of all ages to dip their toes into the world of competitive bike racing. Join us!\nNew to bike racing?: Hydra Cross is a great event to try out bike racing or cyclocross for the first time. There is a free intro to cyclocross racing clinic at 8:00 am on race day that is taught by local\, friendly bike racers. Learn the basics to help you enjoy your race. Beginner races follow shortly after — novice men should sign up for the 9:00 am category 4 and beginner race\, and novice women should sign up for the 11:00 am women’s category 4 and 5 race. Just a note on lingo\, brand-new racers and novices start as ‘category 5’ racers. Since we are a USA Cycling sanctioned race\, you will need a license but can purchase one when you register at http://bikereg.com/hydracross for $15. If you have any questions about the clinic or racing\, please just shoot us an email at hydracrossrace@gmail.com and we’ll respond with what you need. \nCourse Description: A fun\, fast\, twisty course that is primarily flat but has some surprising uphill kickers. After a slightly uphill\, wide start from the “Legion Shelf\,” the course heads towards Holyoke’s “Muscle Beach” and the hilly southern end of the park. The course design takes full advantage of the elevation to make riders work – but then also brings rewards with a swooping downhill that cuts back and forth across the hill. We have some stinging off-camber sections that will require your skills\, with the most challenging and decisive sector coming at the end of the course (see YouTube videos below for a preview). The course runs the full length of the long\, linear park with ample opportunities for spectating\, with continuous announcing throughout the race by the voice of NCC Hydra Cross 2025\, Jake Kravitz. Mountain and river views abound. \nEquipment Recommendation: File treads (if dry) and all-around tires will work well for most riders. The course is a mix of grass\, dirt\, and some pavement. New to cyclocross? Mountain bikes\, in any shape\, work fine for getting started racing. Road or touring bikes that allow for 32mm tires also work fine. \nRace Atmosphere: Come for the race\, stay for the atmosphere. Our beer garden and picnic area are family-friendly. There is a playground\, splash pad\, and popular skate park as well. Our race is known for its good vibes and community-driven feel. \nThe excellent Thai Chili Street Food Hub will be serving food in the American Legion Parking lot at lunch time. As usual\, expect the American Legion to be serving up coffee\, breakfast items\, beer and alcohol throughout the day\, in addition to lunch and snack items. \n¿Eres nuevo en las carreras de bicicleta?: Hydra Cross es un evento excelente para probar correr en bicicleta o hacer ciclocrós por primera vez. Hay una clínica gratuita de introducción a las carrera de ciclocrós a las 8 am el día de la carrera que es impartida por corredores de bicicleta locales y amistosos. Aprende los conceptos básicos para ayudarte a disfrutar de tu carrera. Las carreras para principiantes empiezan poco tiempo después — los hombres novatos deberían inscribirse para la carrera de principiantes categoría 5 de las 9 am\, y las mujeres novatas deberían inscribirse para la carrera categoría 4 y 5 de las 10 am. Solo un comentario sobre la jerga\, los corredores nuevos y los novatos comienzan como corredores ‘categoría 5’. Debido a que somos una carrera sancionada por USA Cycling\, necesitarás una licencia\, pero puedes comprar una por $15 cuando te inscribes en http://bikereg.com/hydracross. Si tienes alguna pregunta acerca de la clínica o las carreras\, por favor envíanos un correo electrónico a hydracrossrace@gmail.com y te responderemos con la información que necesitas. \nDescripción del Recorrido: Un recorrido divertido\, rápido y sinuoso que es principalmente plano\, pero tiene algunas subidas inesperadas. Después de un comienzo levemente cuesta arriba y amplio desde “Legion Shelf”\, el recorrido se dirige hacia “Muscle Beach” en Holyoke y hacia el extremo sur montañoso del parque. El diseño del recorrido aprovecha al máximo la elevación para hacer trabajar a los corredores\, pero también trae recompensas con un descenso en picada a través de la colina que acorta las idas y vueltas. Tenemos algunos punzantes sectores off-camber que requerirán de tus habilidades\, siendo el sector más decisivo y desafiante el que está al final del recorrido (ver el video de Youtube indicado más abajo para una vista preliminar). El recorrido abarca la longitud completa del largo parque lineal\, con amplias oportunidades para los espectadores\, con relato continuo durante la carrera por la voz de Hydra Cross\, Adam Syzmkowickz. Abundan las vistas a la montaña y al río. \nRecomendaciones de Equipamiento: Neumáticos con banda de rodamiento lisa (para terreno seco) y multiuso funcionarán bien para la mayoría de los corredores. El recorrido es una combinación de pasto\, tierra y algo de pavimento. ¿Eres nuevo en el ciclocrós? Las bicicletas de montaña\, en cualquier estado\, funcionan bien para empezar a correr. Las bicicletas de carretera o de turismo que permiten usar neumáticos de 32mm también funcionan bien. \nAmbiente de Competición: Ven por la carrera\, quédate por el ambiente. Nuestro patio cervecero y zona de picnic son aptos para familias. Hay un patio de juegos\, juegos de agua y también un parque para patinetas muy popular. Nuestra carrera es conocida por sus buenas vibras y por la sensación de comunidad.

SUMMARY:Gipsy Jazz Brunch With Christine Tassan et les Imposteures
DESCRIPTION:Delight all of your senses with an elegant Francophone inspired brunch buffet\, aromatic locally roasted coffee\, fragrant mimosas\, and world class Gypsy Jazz. The brunch is pre-fix\, with access to the entire buffet. If you’re not that hungry\, choose the coffee and pastry option\, or simply come for the music. \nFor more than 20 years\, guitarist Christine Tassan has led her boat with brio\, aplomb and an absolutely contagious dynamism. One of the rare female jazz guitarist and gypsy jazz soloists\, also singer\, composer\, author\, director and producer\, she takes part in numerous musical projects in Quebec and on the international scene\, both as a leader and as a guest musician. \nWith nearly 20 years of bringing their special blend of Gypsy jazz and revisited cover songs to audiences\, Christine Tassan et les Imposteures have made a name for themselves on the music scene. \nPioneers in a domain usually reserved for men and precursors of the gypsy wave that swept across Québec\, this quartet led by guitarist Christine Tassan continues to reinvent this timeless music while integrating new ideas and influences with an originality and flair we have become familiar with. From standards to original compositions\, the Imposteures’ musical arrangements innovate\, rejuvenate and leave room for unbridled creativity from four talented and accomplished musicians.

SUMMARY:Walter Parks & The Unlawful Assembly
DESCRIPTION:“The first time I saw Walter Parks I knew I was witnessing a rare talent! From a whisper out of heaven to a 747 like roar Walter can write it\, sing it and play it all!”\n– JJ Grey \nWitness a one-of-a-kind musical experience as Walter Parks & The Unlawful Assembly take the stage with their genre-bending fusion of historic spirituals\, gospel\, blues\, and American roots traditions. \nThis isn’t a nostalgia act — it’s a reinvention. With deep reverence and cutting-edge arrangements\, the band brings new life to prison work chants\, shape-note hymns\, and swamp hollers\, layering them with jazz\, soul\, and modern grooves. Backed by standout collaborators including drummer/producer Steven Williams\, vocalist Ada Dyer\, and trombonist Andrae Murchison\, the group’s sound is both grounded in history and defiantly forward-looking. \nExpect a soulful\, swampy\, and cinematic performance — one that not only honors the past but sparks fresh dialogue about resistance\, hope\, and the healing power of collective music.

SUMMARY:Dinosaurs in the Driveway with Sarah Doyle
DESCRIPTION:Visit Wistariahurst Museum to experience Dinosaurs in the Driveway with Sarah Doyle. Doyle dives into the history of the dinosaur tracks leading up to Wistariahurst. In 1927\, when Belle Skinner had slabs of sandstone with dinosaur footprints laid as a driveway to Wistariahurst\, it may have seemed an idiosyncratic choice. Although the tracks were well known locally\, dinosaurs had not yet made the big mark on pop culture we see today. It is only in recent years that scientific interest in the footprints has been revived\, yet their discovery in the valley in 1835 made our local small towns and people well known to scientists in Britain and Europe. How the Connecticut River Valley became part of international dialogue over identifying what had made the footprints — if they even were footprints! — makes a fascinating trip into another little slice of local history. \nSarah Doyle has investigated the history of the discovery of dinosaur footprints since 1990. She was lead writer for the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association’s Impressions from a Lost World website and since 2010 has directed Jurassic Roadshow\, a pop-up exhibit of local fossils that includes amateur fossil collectors\, academic paleontologists and geologists\, historical re-enactors\, and learning activities. Jurassic Roadshow was the impetus for the creation of DinoFest\, held annually in Greenfield since 2017\, often in collaboration with Jonathan Mirin’s Piti Theatre group for children. She has written papers on the mostly unknown figures in the story of the discovery\, including three in collaboration with the late Robert Herbert. \nVisit Wistariahurst Museum July 20th from 1:00-2:00pm for Dinosaurs on the Driveway. \nDinosaurs in the Driveway is funded by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nVisite el Museo Wistariahurst y descubra Dinosaurios en el camino de entrada con Sarah Doyle. Doyle se sumerge en la historia de las huellas de dinosaurio que conducen a Wistariahurst. En 1927\, cuando Belle Skinner mandó colocar losas de arenisca con huellas de dinosaurios como camino de entrada a Wistariahurst\, pudo parecer una elección idiosincrásica. Aunque las huellas eran bien conocidas en la localidad\, los dinosaurios aún no habían dejado la gran huella en la cultura popular que vemos hoy en día. Sólo en los últimos años se ha reavivado el interés científico por las huellas\, pero su descubrimiento en el valle en 1835 hizo que los científicos de Gran Bretaña y Europa conocieran bien nuestros pueblos y gentes. La forma en que el valle del río Connecticut se convirtió en parte del diálogo internacional sobre la identificación de las huellas -¡si es que eran huellas! — es un viaje fascinante a otro pequeño fragmento de la historia local. \nSarah Doyle investiga la historia del descubrimiento de huellas de dinosaurio desde 1990. Fue redactora jefe del sitio web Impressions from a Lost World de la Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association y desde 2010 dirige Jurassic Roadshow\, una exposición itinerante de fósiles locales que incluye coleccionistas aficionados\, paleontólogos y geólogos académicos\, recreadores históricos y actividades de aprendizaje. Jurassic Roadshow fue el impulso para la creación de DinoFest\, que se celebra anualmente en Greenfield desde 2017\, a menudo en colaboración con el grupo de teatro infantil Piti Theatre de Jonathan Mirin. Ha escrito artículos sobre las figuras\, en su mayoría desconocidas\, de la historia del descubrimiento\, incluidos tres en colaboración con el difunto Robert Herbert. \nVisite el Museo Wistariahurst el 20 de julio de 13:00 a 14:00 para ver Dinosaurios en el camino de entrada. \nDinosaurs on the Driveway se financia con una subvención del Consejo Cultural Local de Holyoke\, un organismo local que cuenta con el apoyo del Consejo Cultural de Massachusetts\, un organismo estatal.
