Community Music Sunday Musicales
Sunday Musicales
We're passionate about music, and we want to share this passion with our community. That's why we began The Sunday Musicale Concert Series.
This series offers a venue for local musicians to showcase their talents in a relaxed setting that provides wonderful acoustics for the audience and musicians, and all of our Sunday Musicale concerts are open to the public.
If you haven't attended a Sunday Musicale concert before, come and experience the music of our talented local musicians, and for our returning patrons we say thank you for supporting this series and helping us share our passion for music.
Following each performance, we offer a brief reception with refreshments to offer you an opportunity to gather with the artists.
The Sunday Musicales Concert Series is offered in memory of Mary Louise Farley, who was an avid music lover.
A $5.00 per person donation is suggested, and all proceeds are solely used to support the performers and to maintain the concert series.
Contact us, if you wish to receive information about the concert series, or dates of upcoming concerts.
Our Season Finale program is listed below; we hope that you have enjoyed the offerings this season and that you will join us this Sunday, May 16 at 2:00 PM. 
We want to “thank you” for your support and participation in welcoming so many talented artists this season during the Sunday Musicales Concert Series and we look forward to seeing you during our 2010-2011 Season beginning on August 15 (save the date, more information to follow).

Bel Canto Institute, founded in 1987 by Metropolitan Opera Prompter and Assistant Conductor Jane Bakken Klaviter, is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization whose purpose is to perpetuate, teach and keep alive style and tradition in 19th and 20th Century Italian opera. These goals are achieved through a Summer program for singers and coaches in Florence, Italy where they are immersed in the study of style of Italian opera. The Institute culminates each Summer program with a concert featuring the Summer program students, and in August 2009 the Institute chose to hold their concert at Redeemer, New Paltz.

experience as a drummer, multi hand percussionist, and as an educator.
He has been a featured artist on over 300 commercially recorded works and has been produced by major as well as independent record companies. His drumming and percussion activities have included recording and performing along with several independent, as well as major, artists and producers. Some of his major credits are as follows:
TDK Tape, General Electric, American Seating, Metro Ford, Roop Verma, George Jinda, Minu Cinelu, Jamey Haddad, Artie and Happy Traum, Scott Petito, Vinnie Martucci, Richard Crooks, Warren Burnhart, Tony Markales, Bridget Ball, Chris Shaw, Mike Jerling, Larry Coryell, Matt Smith, Cindy Cashdollar, Larry Hoppin, Josh Colow, Larry Packer, John Sebastian, …and many more.
Education has always been very important to him—both sharing and receiving. This has resulted in the formation of an educational program guide which includes group involvement workshops, lectures, master class, and individual instruction. The environment for him and his educational offerings runs the gamut—from toddler-age children to senior citizens, from day camps, schools, universities, community-based programs to working with professional music therapists and educators. The focus for him has always been to get the participants physically involved by playing the different instruments.
As a result of these accomplishments, he feels his career encompasses all the right ingredients to touch the masses. It is very important to him to pass on as many good things as he can to help share, support, encourage, and even inspire those who come into contact with him.

“Between them, Steve and Mark Bernstein and Robert Bard have a couple of lifetimes’ worth of 
experience playing with the best studio cats in the world…. There’s no mistaking their musical chops. But something different happens when these musical wizards get together as The Bernstein Bard Trio. All that skill is channeled into something that’s more than the sum of its parts — something joyous, engaging and always suprising." —New Paltz Times
Come watch the Bernstein Bard Trio with their good friend and percussionist, Brian Melick, in a place the Trio call, "one of our favorite sounding places to play-great acoustics."
The concert is at 2 p.m. on Sunday, January 24th, 2010.
