SUMMARY:The Aeolian Trio Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Aeolian Trio Concert\nSaturday\, September 14\, 2024\n2pm to 3:30pm\nVan Cortlandt House Museum Lawn \nVan Cortlandt Park Alliance presents The Aeolian Trio as part of their 3-week US tour.\nOriginal compositions for shakuhachi flute\, acoustic guitar\, and Uduboo drum\, an African Ud made from bamboo. \nThe shakuhachi\, a Japanese traditional bamboo flute that is rooted in Zen Buddhism\, meets the guitar\, a Spanish folk instrument that became a giant of jazz\, rock\, and pop. In ancient times\, the shakuhachi was carried from the Middle East to Japan on the fabled Silk Road. Meanwhile\, the guitar springs from flamenco and Renaissance traditions\, and has antecedents in the Middle Eastern Oud. These seemingly disparate traditions separated by two continents spring from the same cradle of civilization. \nNow\, centuries later\, in California\, Tokyo\, and New York\, Japanese guitarist Kôfû Suwa and shakuhachi master Bruce Huebner join New York-based percussionist Todd Isler to reunite these ancient traditions and bring them into the 21st century. In their concert\, we hear how the melisma and phrygian Spanish mode is answered by the nuances of the Japanese miyako mode of the Zen bamboo flute\, and how the rich rhythmic traditions of South and Central Asia underpin the fusion.\n \nRSVP Suggested. \n

SUMMARY:Pathways to the Past: Enslaved African Legacy Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join VCPA’s Arts Integration Strategist\, Ashley Hart Adams\, on a guided walk that will enlighten participants on the true history that shaped Van Cortlandt Park. \nFor approximately 200 years\, the Van Cortlandt family plantation relied upon the labor of enslaved people\, as did many plantations and farms in the north. Enslaved Africans\, their descendants\, and Indigenous people were vital to colonial New York’s economy–growing\, harvesting\, milling\, packing\, and shipping the wheat that would be a staple export out of New York harbor. This tour will stop at several sites within the park that are daily reminders of their labor and lasting legacy. \nThis walk will be approximately 1 hour long and will include uneven surfaces so please wear appropriate shoes. \nRSVP Required.
