SUMMARY:Borscht Belt Artifacts: Relics of The Catskill Resort Age
DESCRIPTION:Culture\, cuisine\, and comedy came together to form an intricate network of hotels\, bungalow colonies\, and resorts throughout New York’s Catskill Mountains. With a strong Jewish lineage\, the Borscht Belt came to be known as a distinctly American story—one represented by a diverse clientele that journeyed to the mountains in search of fellowship\, basking under the warmth of the summer sun. Now\, with the remaining hotel structures vanishing one by one\, it is through these remaining artifacts\, such as matchbooks\, silverware\, menus\, and even architectural details\, that this story can be shared. The lecture employs these relics to share with visitors the complete and complicated story of the Borscht Belt—one that extends before the Civil War and reveals the many industries\, as well as individuals\, that made it successful. \nPresented live and in-person by Alex Prizgintas. \nA historian\, musician\, and lecturer who focuses on the neglected history of the Catskills and Hudson Valley region\, Alex Prizgintas serves as president of the Woodbury Historical Society in Orange County\, New York\, and has been published in the Hudson River Valley Review and the New York Archives Magazine. A preservationist\, Alex stewards the Richard L. Benjamin Collection of Borscht Belt Tourism History\, which contains hundreds of documents\, postcards\, and ephemera from the Borscht Belt era. Many of these items will be brought to the lecture for attendees to view live. \nFree and open to all.

SUMMARY:"Among Neighbors" Film Screening (Special Event Release Version)
DESCRIPTION:In a town where history has been silenced\, an eyewitness to murder speaks out in search of the boy she loved. \nCombining magical realism with traditional documentary techniques\, Among Neighbors examines the mystery of a small\, rural town in Poland where people of two different faiths lived side by side for centuries — until the killing began. The film reveals both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on a crime committed among neighbors: the murder of Holocaust survivors\, six months after the end of World War II. The chilling facts revealed in this documentary have led the office of Poland’s nationalist president to call for a ban on the film.  \nThe Special Event Release includes 25 minutes of additional content in the form of a brief introduction by its award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash\, and an in-depth post-film Q&A compilation filmed live at sold-out screenings that reveals the fascinating making-of stories––as well as the ongoing controversy––behind this critically-acclaimed film.

Allegro\nEarl Wild (1915-2010): From 7 Virtuoso Etudes – Etude No. 3 “The Man I Love”\nAmy Beach (1867-1944): 3 Piano Pieces\, Op. 128\nTania Léon (b. 1943): Tumbáo\nLeonard Bernstein (1918-1990): “Maria” from the musical “West Side Story”\nPhilip Glass (b. 1937): Etude No. 6\nFlorence Price (1887-1953): Fantasie Negre n.1 in E minor \n✦✦✦ \nAbout Brenda Quattrini\, Pianist and Composer: \nBorn in Johannesburg\, South Africa\, Brenda Quattrini is an Italian pianist originally from Northern Italy. She started studying piano at the age at 5 and grew up between Turin and Udine. At the age of 12 she studied with renowned concert pianist Maria Golia and obtained a degree in Music history at the Conservatory of Music in Torino\, Italy. After taking part to a series of piano competitions and concerts all over Italy such as Stresa\, Albenga\, Pinerolo\, Bobbio\, Udine etc. and winning several first prizes\, she took a performing hiatus and refined her teaching skills. \nTen years ago\, in 2015\, she moved to New York City and has worked as a Music teacher at La Scuola d’Italia\, a bilingual Italian-American school located on the Upper East Side and collaborated with many chamber ensembles and opera singers. She loves exposing herself to New Music and working with young living composers. In May 2024\, she took part to a concert dedicated to the music of French living composer David Chaillou and in March 2025 she collaborated with American composer and soprano singer Stephanie Susberich who presented her song cycle based on the poetry of cuban Juana Borrero. In the meantime\, she has refined her studies in Piano\, Music theory and Composition\, obtaining a Music degree from Hunter College in June 2024\, while taking part to several Masterclasses and Workshops\, including an intensive week in Composition at the Juilliard School in June 2023. \nBecause of her international identity\, Brenda is presenting two distinct but nevertheless interconnected piano programs which aim at promoting American and Italian composers both in Europe and the United States; her goal is to popularize less known musicians such as Anna Bon\, Teresa Procaccini\, William Grant Still\, Florence Price\, Tania Leon (winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Price in Music and Kennedy Center Honoree) and many more\, including her own piano compositions.

SUMMARY:God Bless America
DESCRIPTION:Attend a true colonial church service with costumed re-enactors and a period appropriate liturgy at a historic church that played a key role in the Revolutionary War.\nOld St Peter’s Church in Cortlandt Manor\, erected in 1767 is where General George Washington frequently worshipped when in the area. During the war\, the church was used as a field hospital by French General Rochambeau’s troops before and after the decisive battle at Yorktown\, Virginia. Eight French Revolutionary War soldiers are buried near the church. The site is recognized as part of the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historical Trail. In the surrounding cemetery are buried two men who played notable roles in Revolutionary War: Brigadier General Seth Pomeroy (a hero of Bunker Hill) and John Paulding\, one of the three captors of Major John Andre (the British spy involved with Benedict Arnold).
