Circle Up

by

Our weekly poets circle, Circle Up, is happening every Thursday night from 6 PM to 7 PM at X House in Nyack. This week, I’m thinking on doing a performance/delivery workshop, but usually we do either writing or editing. If you want weekly emails or texts about that, let me know and I can add you to the proper list. If you can swing it, cost is $5, paid directly to the venue.

Dan Brown’s Wild Symphony with Rockland Symphony Orchestra

by

Wild Symphony, by Dan Brown, New York Times best-selling author of The Da Vinci Code, brings to life nearly two dozen musical portraits drawn from the animal kingdom. From the joyous rhythms of the “Bouncing Kangaroo,” to the mysterious melodies of the “Wondrous Whale,” to the hair-raising harmonies of the “Brilliant Bat,” this is a very wild symphony indeed!
